  • Publication number: 20160020110
    Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device is provided. At least one stacked structure is provided on a substrate. A first spacer material layer, a second spacer material layer, and a third spacer material layer are sequentially formed on the substrate and cover the stacked structure. The first, second, and third spacer material layers are etched to form a tri-layer spacer structure on the sidewall of the stacked structure. The tri-layer spacer structure includes, from one side of the stacked structure, a first spacer, a second spacer, and a third spacer, and a dielectric constant of the second spacer is less than each of a dielectric constant of the first spacer and a dielectric constant of the third spacer.

  • Publication number: 20150364568
    Abstract: A fabrication method of a semiconductor structure includes the following steps. First of all, a gate structure is provided on a substrate, and a first material layer is formed on the substrate and the gate structure. Next, boron dopant is implanted to the substrate, at two sides of the gate structure, to form a first doped region, and P type conductive dopant is implanted to the substrate, at the two sides of the gate structure, to form a second doped region. As following, a second material layer is formed on the first material layer. Finally, the second material layer, the first material layer and the substrate at the two sides of the gate structure are etched sequentially, and a recess is formed in the substrate, at the two sides of the gate structure, wherein the recess is positioned within the first doped region.
