Method for manufacturing semiconductor device

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises: forming, on a substrate, a plurality of fins extending along a first direction; forming, on the fins, a dummy gate stack extending along a second direction; forming a gate spacer on opposite sides of the dummy gate stack in the first direction; etching the fins with the gate spacer and the dummy gate stack as a mask, to form source/drain trenches; performing lightly-doping ion implantation to form source/drain extension regions on bottom and side walls of the source/drain trenches; performing epitaxial growth in and/or on the source/drain trenches to form source/drain regions; removing the dummy gate stack to form a gate trench; and forming a gate stack in the gate trench. According to the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device of the present disclosure, the fin structures are selectively etched to form the source/drain trenches, then lightly-doping implantation is performed to form a super-shallow LDD, and then the source/drain regions are grown epitaxially, thereby improving the stability of the device and mitigating short channel effects in the device.
