Method for fabricating a semiconductor device
View Patent ↗A method for fabricating semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: providing a substrate having a fin-shaped structure thereon; forming an epitaxial layer on the fin-shaped structure; forming a first contact etch stop layer (CESL) on the epitaxial layer; forming a source/drain region in the epitaxial layer; and forming a second CESL on the first CESL.
1. A method for fabricating semiconductor device, comprising:
providing a substrate having a fin-shaped structure thereon;
forming an epitaxial layer on the fin-shaped structure;
forming a first contact etch stop layer (CESL) on the epitaxial layer;
forming a source/drain region in the epitaxial layer; and
forming a second CESL after forming the source/drain region.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising a shallow trench isolation (STI) around the fin-shaped structure, the method comprises:
forming a spacer adjacent to the fin-shaped structure;
removing part of the fin-shaped structure;
forming the epitaxial layer on the fin-shaped structure;
forming the first CESL on the epitaxial layer, the spacer, and the STI;
forming a first cap layer on the first CESL;
forming the source/drain region in the epitaxial layer; and
forming the second CESL on the first cap layer.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first cap layer comprises SiON or SiCON.
4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising forming a second cap layer on the epitaxial layer before forming the first CESL.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second cap layer comprises SiO 2 .
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CESL and the second CESL comprise same material.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CESL and the second CESL comprise SiCN or SiN.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CESL and the second CESL comprise same thickness.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing an anneal process after forming the source/drain region and before forming the second CESL.
