Abstract

A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of first providing a substrate having a fin-shaped structure thereon, forming a single diffusion break (SDB) structure in the substrate to divide the fin-shaped structure into a first portion and a second portion, and then forming more than one gate structures such as a first gate structure and a second gate structure on the SDB structure. Preferably, each of the first gate structure and the second gate structure overlaps the fin-shaped structure and the SDB structure.

Claims (15)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a fin-shaped structure on a substrate;

a single diffusion break (SDB) structure in the fin-shaped structure to divide the first fin-shaped structure into a first portion and a second portion, wherein the fin-shaped structure is disposed extending along a first direction, the SDB structure is disposed extending along a second direction, the first direction is orthogonal to the second direction, and the SDB structure comprises silicon oxycarbonitride (SiOCN); and

more than one gate structures on the SDB structure.

2. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first gate structure on the SDB structure; and

a second gate structure on the SDB structure.

3. The semiconductor device of claim 2 , wherein the first gate structure overlaps the fin-shaped structure and the SDB structure.

4. The semiconductor device of claim 2 , wherein the second gate structure overlaps the fin-shaped structure and the SDB structure.

5. The semiconductor device of claim 2 , further comprising:

a third gate structure on the SDB structure; and

a fourth gate structure on the SDB structure.

6. The semiconductor device of claim 5 , wherein the third gate structure and the fourth gate structure are between the first gate structure and the second gate structure.

7. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein a concentration proportion of oxygen in SiOCN is between 30% to 60%.

8. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein a stress of the SDB structure is between 100 MPa to −500 MPa.
