Abstract

A layout of a semiconductor device, a semiconductor device and a method of forming the same, the semiconductor device include a first fin and a second fin disposed on a substrate, a gate and a spacer. The first fin and the second fin both include two opposite edges, and the gate completely covers the two opposite edges of the first fin and only covers one sidewall of the two opposite edges of the second fin. The spacer is disposed at two sides of the gate, and the spacer covers another sidewall of the two opposite edges of the second fin.

Claims (12)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a first fin and a second fin, disposed on a substrate, the first fin and the second fin both comprising two opposite edges;

a gate, disposed on the substrate and covering the first fin and the second fin, wherein the gate completely covers both of the two opposite edges of the first fin and covers only one edge of the two opposite edges of the second fin; and

a spacer, disposed at two sides of the gate, the spacer covering another edge of the two opposite edges of the second fin.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the spacer further covers a top surface of the second fin.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the gate further covers a top surface of the second fin.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 3 , wherein the top surface of the second fin is partially covered by the spacer and partially covered by the gate.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a capping layer disposed on the first fin and the second fin, between the substrate and the gate, wherein the capping layer completely covers both of the two opposite edges of the first fin and covers only one edge of the two opposite edges of the second fin.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 5 , wherein the capping layer comprises SiGe or Ge.

7. The semiconductor device according to claim 5 , wherein the capping layer is directly in contact the one edge of the second fin.

8. The semiconductor device according to claim 7 , wherein the capping layer is further in contact with a top surface of the second fin.
