    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method for forming the semiconductor device are provided. The method includes providing a semiconductor substrate including a first plug-cutting region and a fin-cutting region, and forming an initial to-be-cut fin partially extended to the fin-cutting region. The method also includes forming a gate structure across the initial to-be-cut fin, and forming a dielectric layer covering a sidewall of the gate structure and the initial to-be-cut fin. In addition, the method includes forming a cutting opening over the first plug-cutting region by removing a portion of the dielectric layer and a portion of the initial to-be-cut fin. A remaining initial to-be-cut fin forms a cutting fin. Further, the method includes forming a cutting structure in the cutting opening, and forming a first plug structure in a remaining dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 11239088
    Abstract: Semiconductor device and fabrication method are provided. A plurality of first-type fin groups and second-type fins, each between the first-type fin groups, are formed on a substrate. A first-type fin group includes first-type fins. The first-type fins and the second-type fins are arranged in a direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the first-type fins and the second-type fins. The second-type fins are removed to form first trenches between corresponding first-type fin groups. A protective layer is formed on sidewalls of the first trenches after removing the second-type fins. The protective layer covers sidewalls of the first-type fins that are perpendicular to a width direction of the first-type fins. Second trenches are formed in the substrate under the first trenches by etching the substrate at bottoms of the first trenches using the protective layer as an etch mask.
