Abstract

A fin shaped structure and a method of forming the same. The method includes providing a substrate having a first fin structure and a second fin structure. Next, an insulation material layer is formed on the substrate. Then, a portion of the first fin structure is removed, to form a first recess. Following this, a first buffer layer and a first channel layer are formed sequentially in the first recess. Next, a portion of the second fin structure is removed, to form a second recess. Then, a second buffer layer and a second channel layer are formed in the second recess sequentially, wherein the second buffer layer is different from the first buffer layer.

Claims (19)

1. A fin shaped structure, comprising:

a first fin structure disposed on a substrate, comprising:

a first buffer layer directly contacting the substrate, wherein the first buffer layer comprises group III-V semiconductor material; and

a first channel layer directly covering the first buffer layer, wherein the first buffer layer has a greater band gap relative to the first channel layer; and

a second fin structure disposed on the substrate, comprising:

a second buffer layer, directly contacting the substrate, wherein the second buffer layer comprises group IV semiconductor material, and the first buffer layer and the second buffer layer are surrounded by an insulation layer covering the substrate; and

a second channel layer directly covering the second buffer layer, wherein the second buffer layer has a greater band gap relative to the second channel layer;

wherein the first buffer layer is different from the second buffer layer, and at least a portion of the first channel layer and at least a portion of the second channel layer are protruded and exposed from the insulation layer, and the first fin structure and the second fin structure are tapered from bottom to top.

2. The fin shaped structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first buffer layer and the second buffer layer have a same conductive type.

3. The fin shaped structure according to claim 2 , wherein the first buffer layer and the second buffer layer comprise a group III-V semiconductor material or a group IV semiconductor material.

4. The fin shaped structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first buffer layer and the second buffer layer have different conductive types.

5. The fin shaped structure according to claim 1 , wherein the group III-V semiconductor material is a binary compound or a ternary compound.

6. The fin shaped structure according to claim 5 , wherein the binary compound comprises InP.

7. The fin shaped structure, according to claim 5 , wherein the ternary compound comprises InAsP.

8. The fin shaped structure, according to claim 1 , wherein the group IV semiconductor material is a binary compound.

9. The fin shaped structure, according to claim 8 , wherein the binary compound comprises SiGe or GeSn.

10. The fin shaped structure, according to claim 1 , wherein the first channel layer and the second channel layer comprises a group IV semiconductor material, or a group III-V semiconductor material.

11. The fin shaped structure, according to claim 10 , wherein the group IV semiconductor material comprises SiGe, Ge, or GeSn.

12. The fin shaped structure, according to claim 10 , wherein the III-V semiconductor material comprises InAs, or In 0.53 GaAs.
