Manufacturing method of semiconductor chip
A semiconductor chip includes a substrate and a transistor. The transistor is formed on the substrate and includes an insulation layer and a fin. The fin includes a base portion and a protrusion connected with the base portion, wherein the protrusion is projected with respect to an upper surface of the base portion and has a recess recessed with respect to the upper surface.
1. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor chip, comprises:
providing a substrate;
forming a first patterned block layer on the substrate;
removing a part of the substrate, through the first patterned block layer, to form a fin, wherein the fin comprises a base portion and a protrusion connected with the base portion, the protrusion is projected with respect to an upper surface of the base portion;
forming a second patterned block layer covering the upper surface of the base portion, wherein the second patterned block layer has a hollow portion exposing the protrusion;
thinning the protrusion through the hollow portion, wherein a recess is formed in the protrusion, and the recess is recessed with respect to the upper surface of the base portion;
removing the second patterned block layer; and
forming an insulation layer covering the base portion and the protrusion, wherein the protrusion is projected with respect to the insulation layer.
2. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein in step of removing the part of the substrate, a plurality of the fins are formed, wherein the fins comprises a plurality of edge fins and an inner fin located between the edge fins;
in step of forming the second patterned block layer covering the upper surface of the base portion, the second patterned block layer has a plurality of the hollow portions, the edge fins are exposed from the hollow portions;
in step of thinning the fin through the hollow portion, the protrusions of the edge fins are thinned through the hollow portions.
3. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein in step of forming the first patterned block layer on the substrate, the first patterned block layer comprises a plurality of fin defining portions, and a width of each fin defining portion is equal; and
in step of removing the part of the substrate, a plurality of the fins are formed through the fin defining portions.
