Abstract: The disclosure provides a manufacturing method for a fin field-effect transistor. The method to make the fin field-effect transistor comprises: forming a fin structure and a gate structure spanning on the fin structure on a substrate; and forming a source-drain region on the fin structure, which comprises: forming an epitaxial layer; and forming a sacrificial layer on the surface of the epitaxial layer to prevent the epitaxial layer from being lost in the subsequent removal steps.

Abstract: An epitaxial growth process for a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate, forming a plurality of Dummy Gate structures on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and forming grooves in a self-aligned manner on both sides of the Dummy Gate structures; forming an initial seed layer on the inner side surfaces of the grooves, the thickness of the formed initial seed layer on the bottoms of the grooves being greater and the thickness of the formed initial seed layer on the sidewalls being smaller since the growth speed of crystal faces <100> and <110> is different; longitudinally etching the initial seed layer to thin the bottom of the initial seed layer to form a seed layer; forming a main body layer on the seed layer, the main body layer filling the grooves; and forming a cover layer on the main body layer.

Abstract: The present application discloses a method for forming a recess, which comprises the following steps: step 1: performing a dry etching process to a silicon substrate to form a U-shaped or ball-shaped recess; step 2: performing second etching to the recess by introducing HCl and GeH4 reaction gases in an epitaxial process chamber to form diamond-shaped recess. The present application further discloses a method for forming a recess and filling the recess with an epitaxial layer in situ. The disclosed etching changes U-shaped or ball-shaped reaction recess diamond-shaped recess by including reaction gases in the epitaxial process chamber, which is conducive to realizing the in-situ epitaxial filling process. This method reduces steps in the process loop of forming embedded epitaxial layer, thus decreasing defects from the process.
