  • Patent number: 10431671
    Abstract: A method is provided for fabricating fin field-effect transistors. The method includes providing a substrate. The method also includes forming a plurality of fins on a surface of the substrate. Further the method includes forming a transitional layer having atoms identical to atoms of the fins on side and top surfaces of the plurality of fins by a deposition process. Further, the method also includes performing an oxidation process to convert the transitional layer and a surface portion of the fins into a dielectric material to form a gate dielectric layer on the plurality of fins.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 7, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 1, 2019
    Assignee: Semiconductor Manufacturing International (Shanghai) Corporation
    Inventors: Xiaopeng Yu, Youfeng He, Zhengling Chen
