Abstract

A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a hard mask on a substrate; forming a first mandrel and a second mandrel on the hard mask; forming a first spacer and a second spacer around the first mandrel and a third spacer and a fourth spacer around the second mandrel; removing the second mandrel; forming a patterned mask on the first mandrel, the first spacer, the second spacer, the third spacer, and the fourth spacer; and using the patterned mask to remove the third spacer and the hard mask.

Claims (8)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a base on a substrate;

a first fin-shaped structure adjacent to the base, wherein a surface of the substrate between the base and the first fin-shaped structure comprises a first curve concave upward; and

a second fin-shaped structure adjacent to the first fin-shaped structure, wherein a surface of the substrate between the first fin-shaped structure and the second fin-shaped structure comprises a second curve concave upward, a bottom surface of the first curve is even with a bottom surface of the second curve, and a pitch between the first fin-shaped structure and the second fin-shaped structure is greater than a height of the first fin-shaped structure.

2. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein top surfaces of the base and the first fin-shaped structure are coplanar.

3. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein the first curve and the second curve comprise same curvature.

4. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein the first curve and the second curve comprise different curvatures.

5. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein a pitch between the first fin-shaped structure and the second fin-shaped structure is less than a pitch between the base and the first fin-shaped structure.
