METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240105842 titled 'METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device involving selective epitaxial growth processes, etching processes, and the formation of gate structures and impurity regions.

  • Selective epitaxial growth (SEG) process is performed on a substrate to form a first channel.
  • First etching process is performed to form a first recess through the first channel and an upper portion of the substrate.
  • Sidewall of the first channel exposed by the first recess is slanted with respect to an upper surface of the substrate.
  • Second SEG process is performed to form a second channel on a surface of the substrate and the sidewall of the first channel exposed by the first recess.
  • Gate structure is formed to fill the first recess.
  • Impurity region is formed at an upper portion of the substrate adjacent to the gate structure.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in the manufacturing of advanced semiconductor devices, such as high-performance transistors and integrated circuits.
