Abstract

A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a first fin-shaped structure on a substrate; forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) adjacent to the first fin-shaped structure; and forming a gate structure on the first fin-shaped structure and the STI. Preferably, the gate structure comprises a left portion and the right portion and the work functions in the left portion and the right portion are different.

Claims (22)

1. A method for fabricating semiconductor device, comprising:

forming a first fin-shaped structure on a substrate;

forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) adjacent to the first fin-shaped structure; and

forming a gate structure on the first fin-shaped structure and the STI, wherein the gate structure comprises a left portion and the right portion and the work functions in the left portion and the right portion are different.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a second fin-shaped structure adjacent to the first fin-shaped structure, wherein the STI is between the first fin-shaped structure and the second fin-shaped structure.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising forming a source region adjacent to one side of the gate structure in the first fin-shaped structure and a drain region in the second fin-shaped structure.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising a first well adjacent to one side of the gate structure and a second well adjacent to another side of the gate structure.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first well and the second well comprise different conductive type.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein a boundary between the first well and the second well is aligned with a boundary between the left portion and the right portion of the gate structure.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a first spacer adjacent to the left portion on the first fin-shaped structure.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising forming a second spacer adjacent to the right portion on the STI.

9. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a first fin-shaped structure on a substrate;

a shallow trench isolation (STI) adjacent to the first fin-shaped structure; and

a gate structure on the first fin-shaped structure and the STI, wherein the gate structure comprises a left portion and the right portion and the work functions in the left portion and the right portion are different.

10. The semiconductor device of claim 9 , further comprising a second fin-shaped structure adjacent to the first fin-shaped structure, wherein the STI is between the first fin-shaped structure and the second fin-shaped structure.

11. The semiconductor device of claim 10 , further comprising a source region adjacent to one side of the gate structure in the first fin-shaped structure and a drain region in the second fin-shaped structure.

12. The semiconductor device of claim 9 , further comprising a first well adjacent to one side of the gate structure and a second well adjacent to another side of the gate structure.

13. The semiconductor device of claim 12 , wherein the first well and the second well comprise different conductive type.

14. The semiconductor device of claim 12 , wherein a boundary between the first well and the second well is aligned with a boundary between the left portion and the right portion of the gate structure.

15. The semiconductor device of claim 9 , further comprising a first spacer adjacent to the left portion on the first fin-shaped structure.

16. The semiconductor device of claim 9 , further comprising a second spacer adjacent to the right portion on the STI.
