  • Patent number: 10050036
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a semiconductor structure having a common gate and fabrication method of the semiconductor structure. In an exemplary method, after forming a first metal gate and a second metal gate, a conductive material layer can be formed at least at the boundary between the first metal gate and the second metal gate. Thus, one end of the conductive material layer can be connected to a first metal gate electrode, and the other end of the conductive material layer can be connected to a second metal gate electrode. The resistance between the first metal gate electrode and the second metal gate electrode can be effectively reduced. Gate voltages of an NMOS transistor and a PMOS transistor of the common gate can be the same.

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide FinFETs and methods for forming the same. In an exemplary method, a semiconductor substrate having sacrificial layers formed thereon is provided. First sidewall spacers and second sidewall spacers are sequentially formed on both sides of each sacrificial layer. The sacrificial layers can be removed. A first width is measured as a distance between adjacent first sidewall spacers, and a second width is measured as a distance between adjacent second sidewall spacers. When the first width is not equal to the second width, the first sidewall spacers or the second sidewall spacers are correspondingly etched such that the first width is equal to the second width. The semiconductor substrate is etched using the first sidewall spacers and the second sidewall spacers as an etch mask, to form fins, such that a top of each fin has a symmetrical morphology.
