Abstract

A layout of a semiconductor device and a method of forming a semiconductor device, 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 method of forming semiconductor device, comprising:

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

forming a dummy gate on the substrate, to cover the first fin and the second fin, wherein the dummy 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;

forming a spacer at two sides of the dummy gate, the spacer covering another edge of the two opposite edges of the second fin; and

performing a replacement process, to replace the dummy gate with a metal gate.

2. The method of forming semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the replacement process comprises:

removing the dummy gate to form a gate trench; and

filling a metal layer in the gate trench to form the metal gate.

3. The method of forming semiconductor device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

after removing the dummy gate, forming a capping layer in the gate trench to cover the first fin and the second fin.

4. The method of forming semiconductor device according to claim 3 , 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.
