Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
   The present invention relates to double-gate FinFET devices and fabricating methods thereof. More particularly, the invention relates to an electrically stable double-gate FinFET device and the method of fabrication in which the Fin active region on a bulk silicon substrate where device channel and the body are to be formed has a nano-size width and is connected to the substrate and is formed with the shape of a wall along the channel length direction (the current flow direction). 
   Worldwide researches are actively being undertaken in the area of nano-CMOS device technologies since the applications of nano-CMOS technologies in logic circuits and memories have the capability of creating substantial value added revenues. 
   The system based on the silicon semiconductor technology is becoming smaller and requires low electric power consumption. The size of its devices should be small accordingly. 
   The most competitive device technology which can meet those requirements is the CMOS device technology. 
   The gate size of these devices is presently being scaled down, however, some problems are occurring with the scaling-down. 
   The biggest problem is so called short channel effects. The conventional CMOS devices have mainly fabricated using bulk silicon substrates. The MOS device fabricated on a bulk silicon substrate has device characteristics which are sensitively affected by the fabrication conditions as the length of a gate is being scaled down to a size of less than 50 nm. Also, the device performance of CMOS devices with the channel length around 30 nm is insufficient to be implemented in a real circuit. 
   A 30 nm CMOS device which is developed by Intel has poor I-V characteristics by considering scaling-down trend of the conventional devices. 
   There are only small margins for improving the integration density by reducing the actual area occupied by a single device since the spacer region formed at the both sides of a gate has not been scaled down. 
   Due to the limitation of MOS device technology based on bulk silicon substrates, active researches have been focused on realizing a device with the channel length below 30 nm using Silicon On Insulator (SOI) substrates. 
   Many research results have been published on analyzing the characteristics of the conventional device structures on a SOI substrate rather than on a bulk substrate, however, the parasitic resistance of the source/drain region due to thin film thickness becomes too large and consequently requires a selective growth of an epitaxial layer in the source/drain region. 
   Also, the SOI devices, in which the body of a device is not connected to a substrate, have resulted floating body effects and low heat transfer rates, and consequently causing the deterioration in the device performance. 
   As explained above, the scaling-down characteristic of the conventional device structure implemented on a SOI substrate is not much improved by comparing that of device implanted on a bulk substrate. 
   A double-gate device structure has emerged as the most appropriate device structure for reducing the channel length of a CMOS device below 25 nm or less. 
   A double-gate device comprises gate electrodes at the top/bottom or left/right of a channel where the current flows, shows a significant improvement in gate control characteristics of the channel through gate electrodes. 
   In case where the channel is controlled well by gate bias, the leakage current between a source and a drain can be improved, which leads to the lower Drain Induced Barrier Lowering (DIBL) effect. 
   Also, due to the presence of gates at the both sides of a channel region, the threshold voltage of the device can be dynamically changed, resulting in much improved on-off channel characteristic in comparison to the conventional single-gate structures and successfully suppressing the short channel effects. 
     FIG. 1  shows a brief representation of the directions of the current flow in the channel of a double-gate structure formed on the surface of a wafer having a crystal orientation of (100). 
   A gate  32  is formed at the top/bottom or left/right of a body (channel  34 ). 
     FIG. 1   a  shows a kind of three-dimensional device in which the source/drain region is formed at the top/bottom and the current flows from top to bottom (or vice versa) and a channel  34  is formed at right angles to a (100) wafer. 
     FIG. 1   b  shows a standard double-gate MOS device structure in which a channel  34  is formed on the same surface of a (100) wafer and gates  32  are formed at the top and bottom of the channel  34  and the current flows on the surface direction of 100 crystallographic orientation. 
     FIG. 1   c  shows a channel  34  which is formed at right angles to the surface of a (100) wafer, and the source/drain region is not formed at the top/bottom of the channel as shown in  FIG. 1   a . The current flows on both surfaces of the channel (or fin)  34  formed at right angles to the surface of a (100) wafer. 
     FIG. 2  shows the essential parts of a conventional FinFET structure where the metal layer for wiring was omitted for simplicity. 
     FIG. 2   a  and  FIG. 2   b  represent the same structures where  FIG. 2   a  is semi-transparent and  FIG. 2   b  is shaded. Here, the structure and the current flow direction correspond to those of  FIG. 1   c . The short channel effects can significantly be reduced by forming a gate electrode  16  at both (top/bottom) sides of the channel  34 . A silicon substrate  2   a  of SOI wafer, oxide layers  6 ,  10  and a gate oxide layer  12  are shown in  FIG. 2   a.    
   Hereinafter, the methods of fabricating a double-gate device with the same characteristics as shown in  FIG. 1   b  and  FIG. 1   c  will be described. 
   First, the key features shown in  FIG. 1   b  will be explained. In  FIG. 1   b , the current flows to the same horizontal direction as the surface of a (100) wafer. In this structure, the channel  34  is formed on the surface of a (100) wafer like the conventional MOSFETs. Hence, the surface characteristic of Si—SiO2 is not inferior to that of the conventional MOSFETs. 
   In a double-gate device as shown in  FIG. 1   b , gates  32  are formed at the top/bottom of a channel  34 . 
   This device structure enables a thin and uniform control of Si film thickness in a silicon body region. 
   In order to form gates  32  at the top/bottom of a channel  34 , wafer bonding process and etch-back process have to be performed by utilizing Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) technology which makes the fabricating process very complicated. 
   One of the most important requirements for the double-gate MOS device is that two gates  32  must be self-aligned, otherwise, the device characteristics deteriorate significantly. 
   A considerable effort has been concentrated on forming a self-aligned gates  32  for the device as shown in  FIG. 1   b  where gates are formed at the top/bottom of a channel  34 . Many complications have arisen from the material and complexity of the fabrication process. 
   In order to improve the scale-down characteristics of the device, the channel silicon film thickness should be reduced to 20 nm or less. 
   If the silicon film with a thickness of 20 nm or less is used for the channel and source/drain region, the short channel effects could be improved, however, the device characteristics would deteriorate due to a significant increase in source/drain parasitic resistance. 
   In order to realize both self-alignment and reduction in the source/drain resistance, the complexities of fabrication process should be accepted as a consequence. 
   Second, the other method of implementing a double-gate MOS device includes forming the gate  32  on both sides of the channel  34  as shown in  FIG. 1   c  is described. 
   The MOS device in  FIG. 1   c  is called FinFET. In the double-gate device as shown in  FIG. 1   c , the width of the channel region  34  is patterned to be in a nano-meter size (50 nm or less). The double-gate device uses the etched vertical surfaces on both sidewalls of the body as the main channel regions. 
   In the above structure, the channel  34  is formed at right angles to the wafer surface. 
   The fabrication method as shown above has a more simplified fabrication process in comparison to the structure ( FIG. 1   b ) which has gates  32  at the top/bottom. 
   However, since the channel  34  is formed on the side of the film which is formed at right angle to the surface of a (100) silicon wafer, the crystallographic orientation of the channel becomes 110 and the surface characteristics of the orientation 110 is inferior to that of the conventional 100 surface. 
   In order to resolve this problem, the body which includes the channel region is formed at 45 degree to the primary flat zone of (100) wafer to form a channel on (100) silicon surface of the body. 
   The silicon region of the channel is defined by nano-patterning technology. Hence, the device characteristics with the pattern size variation could be relatively large since the variation in size control of the body is larger than that of the double-gate device shown in  FIG. 1   b  where a gate is formed at the top/bottom. Basically,  FIG. 1   b  structure has self-aligned gates which are formed at both sides of the channel  34 . 
   However, the source/drain region formed in thin body region has the same nano-size body width as the channel region and it reduces the current drive capability due to an increase in the source/drain parasitic resistance. 
   In order to resolve this problem, it was tried to deposit polycrystalline silicon or SiGe layer on the source/drain region as a non-self-aligned manner. However, their impact was not significant since the parasitic resistance between the thin width channel and source/drain region was not reduced in spite of the new fabrication methods that were either being added or altered. 
   Thus, a double-gate MOS device formed on a conventional SOI silicon substrate is more expensive than that on a bulk wafer. It also has a larger the source/drain parasitic resistance. 
   Like a floating body SOI devices, the body  34  where a channel is formed as shown in  FIG. 2  is not connected to the SOI silicon substrate  2   a , hence, the floating body problem may be arisen. Also, since an oxide film  10  on a SOI silicon substrate  2   a  which is blocking the heat, which is generated by the device, being transferred to the SOI silicon substrate  2   a , the device characteristic deteriorates. 
   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

   DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS 
   Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
   First of all, the present invention comprises a bulk silicon substrate  2   b  and a Fin active region  4  which consists of single crystalline silicon with the shape of a wall on the surface of the bulk silicon substrate  2   b  and is connected to the bulk silicon substrate  2   b , a second oxide layer  10  which is formed to a certain height above the Fin active region  4  from the surface of the bulk silicon substrate  2   b , a gate oxide layer  12  which is formed at both side-walls of the Fin active region  4  protruded from the second oxide layer  10 , a first oxide layer  6  which is formed on the upper surface of the Fin active region  4  with a thickness that is greater or equal to the thickness of the gate oxide  12 , a gate  16  which is formed on the first oxide layer  6  and second oxide layer  10 , a source/drain region which is formed on both sides of the Fin active region  4  except where the gate  16  overlaps with the Fin active region  4  and contact regions  46  and a metal layer  48  which are formed at the source/drain and gate  16  contact regions. 
   From the above construction, the thickness of the second oxide layer  10  is selected in a range from 20 nm to 800 nm in order to reduce the parasitic capacitance between the gate  16  and bulk silicon substrate  2   b.    
   From the above construction, the integration of a device can be improved and the contact resistance can be reduced by constructing the size of the contact region  46 , which is in contact with said metal layer  48 , wider than the width of the Fin active region and longer than the length of the gate  16 . 
   From the above construction, the resistance of Fin active region can be reduced by not fixing the width of the Fin active region  4  but gradually increase the width within the second oxide layer  10  as it approached to the bulk silicon substrate  2   b.    
   From the above construction, the shape of the Fin active region  4  can be a trapezoid where the width of the upper section is narrow and the lower section is wide. 
   From the above construction, the two top corners of the Fin active region  4  can be chamfered through an oxidation above 900° C. and etching, and (or) annealing process in a hydrogen atmosphere in order to improve the durability of the device. 
   From the above construction, the gate material  16  can be one of poly-silicon, poly-SiGe, and metal. 
     FIG. 3  shows the device structure according to the present invention. It shows the essential parts of a conventional FinFET structure where a metal layer for wiring is omitted.  FIG. 3   a  and  FIG. 3   b  are the same structure and show semi-transparent and shaded views, respectively. 
   Unlike  FIG. 2 , the Fin active region  4  is not floating and is connected to the bulk silicon substrate, as a result, the device characteristics can be much improved. 
   More specifically, the floating body problem which exists for the device formed on the conventional SOI silicon substrate  2   a  can be removed by connecting the body to the silicon substrate. Also, the heat generated by the channel region of a device can transfer to the bulk silicon substrate  2   b  more efficiently than the conventional SOI structure. 
   Also, it has a cost advantage since the device is fabricated on a bulk wafer rather than a SOI wafer. 
     FIG. 4   a  is the device structure according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention. It is identical to  FIG. 3   a  and is added for comparison. In  FIG. 5   a , a selective epitaxial layer  18  is added to the structure in  FIG. 4   a  in order to reduce the source/drain parasitic resistance. 
     FIG. 4   a  and  FIG. 5   a  show the essential parts except the metal layer for wiring and  FIG. 4   b  and  FIG. 5   b  are the top views of  FIG. 4   a  and  FIG. 5   a , respectively. 
   In  FIG. 4   b , a source/drain region is formed on the region where the gate  16  does not overlap with the Fin active region  4 . 
   A contact is formed at the area where the source/drain is constructed in the Fin active region  4 . Since a metal wire is connected to a Fin structure which is exposed by contact open process and the Fin width is identical to that of the thin channel, it can significantly increase the source/drain parasitic resistance. Hence, the parasitic resistance can be reduced through the method as shown in  FIG. 5   b.    
   Hereafter, the process of growing a selective epitaxial layer  18  in the source drain region of Fin FET device will be described. 
   It is assumed that the device has been fabricated up to the gate structure  16 . 
   If the sample with the polysilicon gate doping of above 10 20  cm −3  and the channel doping of around 10 18  cm −3  is oxidized in wet ambient with the thickness between 5 nm and 20 nm, then a 3 to 5 times thicker oxide can grow on the gate due to the doping. 
   If the above grown oxidation layer is etched again with respect to the thickness of the oxide grown on the exposed Fin channel region, the oxide layer formed on the side-walls of the Fin active region is removed and the silicon in the Fin active region  4  is exposed. 
   At this time, the gate  16  is still covered with a relatively thick oxide layer. Taking the silicon, which is exposed at the side-walls of the Fin active region  4  of the source/drain, as a seed, a selective epitaxial layer  18  is grown. 
   In some cases, the silicon at the side-walls as well as the upper section of the Fin active region  4  is exposed and this is taken as a seed in order to grow a selective epitaxial layer  18 . 
   The selective epitaxial layer  18  that can be grown in this instance is one of single crystalline silicon, single crystalline SiGe, single crystalline Ge, polysilicon, and poly SiGe. 
   The dash dot line in the Fin active region  4  as shown in  FIG. 4   a  and  FIG. 5   a  represents the depth of the source/drain junction. 
   In  FIG. 4   a  and  FIG. 5   a , for example, the junction depth is located slightly above the surface of the second oxidation layer  10 . It is possible to control the short channel effects by controlling the junction depth. 
   When the upper surface of the second oxidation layer  10  is taken as a reference line, the junction depth should be lie in a range which is greater than 0 nm and less than 50 nm above the reference line in order to suppress the short channel effects. 
   On the contrary, if the range is less than 0 nm and greater than −50 nm then the current driving capability is improved rather than suppressing the short channel effects. 
     FIG. 5   a  shows the selective epitaxial layer  18  according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. 
   According to the fabrication process, after a gate  16  is formed, a dielectric layer with thickness between 5 nm and 100 nm is deposited, and an anisotropic etching is carried out for a thickness corresponding to the deposition thickness and the height of the Fin active region  4  protruding above the second oxidation layer  10 , the dielectric layer is formed only in the vicinity where the gate  16  comes into contact with source/drain Fin active region  4 . 
   Taking the silicon region of the exposed Fin active region and poly-silicon region as seeds, a selective epitaxial layer  18  is grown by a thickness between 5 nm and 100 nm. 
   Hence, the selective epitaxial layer  18  is grown on the source/drain region as well as on the poly-silicon or SiGe gate  16  resulting in a reduction in the resistance. 
   The gate  16  and source/drain are electrically insulated. 
     FIG. 6  shows a masking sequence in order to implement the structure as shown in  FIG. 4   a.    
     FIG. 6   a  is for implementing a Fin active region  4  and  FIG. 6   b  is for implementing a gate  16 . 
     FIG. 6   c  shows contact regions  46  for the source/drain contact and  FIG. 6   d  shows the connection of a metal layer  48  for wiring. 
     FIG. 7  shows cross sections in the horizontal and perpendicular directions of the structure according to the present invention as shown in FIG.  4 . 
   The resistance of the source/drain region is large since its width is nearly same as that of the narrow Fin active region  4 . 
   The contact regions  46  are utilized for electrically connecting a metal layer  48  with the source/drain formed in the Fin active region  4 . 
     FIG. 8  shows cross sections in the horizontal and perpendicular directions of a structure where a selective epitaxial layer  18  is grown on the source/drain Fin active region  4  according to the present invention as shown in FIG.  5 . 
   As can be seen from the added cross section (B-B′ cross section) at the lower left section, a selective epitaxial layer  18  is formed on both side-walls exposed in the Fin active region  4 . 
   The selective epitaxial layer  18  can be grown on the both side-walls as well as the upper section in the Fin active region  4 . 
   The source/drain region has a small parasitic resistance value since it has a wider width from the growth of the epitaxial layer  18 . 
   The contact regions  46  are utilized for electrically connecting a metal layer  48  with the source/drain formed in the Fin active region  4 . 
   Hereinafter, in order to show the body of the proposed structure in the present invention, a two dimensional cross section is used for showing the essential contact between the channel and the gate  16  instead of a three dimensional cross section. 
     FIG. 9  is an example for implementing the FinFET device according to the present invention. A two dimensional cross section for fabricating the structure using Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP). 
     FIG. 9   a  shows the process which forms a first oxide layer  6  on a bulk silicon substrate  2   b , carries out a nano-patterning process and the first oxide layer  6  and the silicon of the bulk silicon substrate  2   b  are etched. 
   Later, the Fin active region  4  that is connected to the bulk silicon substrate  2   b  is formed. 
   At this instance, the thickness of the first oxide layer  6  is in a range between 0.5 nm and 200 nm, the height of Fin active region  4  is in a range between 10 nm and 1000 nm and the width is in a range between 4 nm and 100 nm. 
     FIG. 9   b  shows an etched cross section by CMP after forming a second oxide layer  10  on the structure in  FIG. 9   a  with a thickness between 20 nm and 1000 nm, or preferably between 20 nm and 800 nm. 
     FIG. 9   c  shows a cross section after removing a second oxide layer  10  on the structure in  FIG. 9   b  by a thickness between 10 nm and 300 nm from the surface. 
   Eventually, the height of the Fin active region  4  protruding above the second oxide layer  10  is between 5 nm and 300 nm. 
     FIG. 9   d  shows a cross section after growing a gate oxide layer  12  with a thickness between 0.5 nm and 10 nm in the formed Fin active region  4 . 
   It is more preferable to clean the side-walls of the protruding Fin active region  4  before growing the gate oxide layer  12  and to carry out an annealing process in a Nitrogen or Argon atmosphere after removing a sacrificial oxide layer, which is grown to remove the damage generated during the previous process. 
   As a post process, a gate electrode is formed using one of gate materials such as poly-silicon (P+ or N+ doping), SiGe (P+ or N+ doping), and metals, and the gate  16  is defined by using photolithography. 
   An oxide layer is formed, and an appropriate heat treatment process is carried out, and if necessary, a layer of oxide is deposited. 
   Afterwards, a photolithography process is carried out for forming a contact region  46 . 
   A metal layer  48  is deposited to be electrically connected with the source/drain and a metal wiring is formed through a photolithography process. 
     FIG. 10  is an example for implementing the body where the channel of the FinFET device is formed according to the present invention. It shows the essential processing steps for fabricating the structure using Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP). 
     FIG. 10   a  shows the process of forming a first oxide layer  6  and a nitride layer  14  on a bulk silicon substrate  2   b  and carrying out a nano-patterning, and etching the first oxide layer  6 , nitride layer  14 , and the silicon of the bulk silicon substrate  2   b.    
   The above nitride layer  14  is used as an etch stopper for CMP and the thickness is between 10 nm and 200 nm. 
   Later, a Fin active region  4  which is connected to the bulk silicon substrate  2   b  is formed. 
   At this instance, the thickness value of the first oxide layer  6  is between 0.5 nm and 200 nm and the height of Fin active region  4  is between 10 nm and 1000 nm. 
     FIG. 10   b  shows a cross section etched by CMP after forming a second oxide layer  10  on the structure in  FIG. 10   a  with a thickness between 20 nm and 1000 nm, or preferably between 20 nm and 800 nm. 
     FIG. 10   c  shows a cross section after removing a second oxide layer  10  on the structure in  FIG. 10   b  by a thickness between 10 nm and 300 nm from the surface. 
   Eventually, the height of the Fin active region  4  protruding above the second oxide layer  10  is between 5 nm and 300 nm. 
     FIG. 10   d  shows a cross section of a gate oxide layer  12  grown with a thickness between 0.5 nm and 10 nm in the formed Fin active region  4 . 
   Here, the gate oxide layer  12  can be formed after removing the nitride layer  14 . 
   It is more preferable to clean the side-walls of the protruding Fin active region  4  before growing the gate oxide layer  12  and to carry out an annealing process in a Nitrogen or Argon atmosphere after removing a sacrificial oxide layer which is grown to remove the damage generated during the previous process. 
   As a post process, a gate electrode is formed using one of gate materials such as poly-silicon (P+ or N+ doping), SiGe (P+ or N+ doping), and metals, and the gate  16  is defined using photolithography. 
   An oxide layer is formed and an appropriate heat treatment process carries out, and if necessary, an oxidation layer is deposited. 
   Afterwards, a photolithography process is carried out for forming a contact region  46 . 
   A metal layer  48  is deposited to be electrically connected with the source/drain and a metal wiring is formed through a photolithography process. 
     FIG. 11  is an example for implementing the body where the channel of a FinFET device is formed according to the present invention. It shows the essential processing steps for fabricating a Fin channel using the selective epitaxial growth method. 
     FIG. 11   a  shows the process of forming a second oxide layer  10  with a thickness value between 20 nm and 100 nm on a bulk silicon substrate  2   b  and carrying out a nano-patterning and etching the second oxide layer  10  to the deposited thickness. 
   Here, the width of etched second oxidation layer  10  is between 4 nm and 100 nm and the depth is between 10 nm and 1000 nm. 
   Taking the silicon region of the exposed bulk silicon substrate,  2   b  at the bottom of etched oxide layer trench, a selective epitaxial layer of a suitable height is grown in order to form a Fin active region  4  utilizing the selective epitaxial growth method. 
   A first oxide layer  6  is formed with a thickness between 0.5 nm to 200 nm above the Fin active region  4 , and a nitride layer  14  is formed 10 nm to 200 nm above the first oxide layer  6 . 
     FIG. 11   b  shows a cross section when the first oxide layer  6  and nitride layer  14  are etched as much as the deposited thickness through CMP or dry etching. 
     FIG. 11   c  shows a cross section when the second oxide layer  10  is etched by a thickness between 10 nm and 300 nm from the surface.

     FIG. 11   d  shows a cross section of a gate oxide layer  12  which is grown in the formed Fin active region  4 . 
   It is more preferable to clean the side-walls of the protruding Fin active region  4  before growing the gate oxide layer  12  and to carry out an annealing process in a Nitrogen or Argon atmosphere after removing a sacrificial oxide layer which is grown to remove the damage generated during the previous process. 
   The subsequent post-processing steps are identical to those of  FIG. 9   d  and  FIG. 10   d.    
     FIG. 12  is an example for fabricating a body where the channel of the FinFET device is to be formed according to the present invention. It shows the essential processing steps for fabricating the structure by growing a field oxidation layer  28  instead of utilizing Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP). 
   Here, the essential fabrication processes are implemented by applying a spacer oxide layer  26  and the field oxide layer  28  growth technology. 
   In  FIG. 12   a , a first oxide layer  6  is formed with a thickness between 0.5 nm and 200 nm after a Fin active region  4  is formed through a photolithography process, a nitride layer  14  is formed above the first oxide layer  6  with a thickness between 10 nm and 200 nm, and a third oxidation layer  20  is formed above the nitride layer  14  with a thickness between 5 nm and 500 nm. 
     FIG. 12   a  shows a cross section when the third oxidation layer  20 , nitride layer  14 , first oxidation layer  6  and the silicon of the bulk silicon substrate  2   b  are etched. 
   The height of the formed Fin active region should be between 10 nm and 1000 nm. 
   In this condition, a thin buffer oxide layer  22  is formed with a thickness between 1 nm and 50 nm and a nitride layer  24  is formed on the buffer oxide layer  22  with a thickness between 5 nm and 100 nm. 
   Also, when anisotropic etching is carried out after a layer of oxide is formed on the nitride layer  24  with a thickness between 5 nm and 100 nm, spacer oxide layer  26  is formed. 
   The top and both side surfaces of the Fin active region  4  are covered with oxide layers ( 6 ,  20 ,  22 ,  26 ) and nitride layers ( 14 ,  24 ), and the silicon of the bulk substrate  2   b  is exposed in other areas. 
     FIG. 12   b  shows a cross section when the silicon of the bulk substrate  2   b  is isotropically etched with a thickness between 30 nm and 300 nm. 
     FIG. 12   c  shows a cross section when the oxide layers  20 ,  22 ,  26  are selectively etched. 
     FIG. 12   d  shows a cross section when the nitride layers  14 ,  24  are removed after field oxide layer  28  is grown with a thickness between 30 nm and 500 nm. 
   Eventually, the height of the Fin active region  4  protruding from the field oxide layer  28  is between 5 nm and 300 nm. 
     FIG. 12   d  shows a cross section of a gate oxide layer  12  grown in the Fin active region  4 . 
   It is more preferable to clean the side-walls of the protruding Fin active region  4  before growing the gate oxide layer  12  and to carry out an annealing process in a Nitrogen or Argon atmosphere after removing a sacrificial oxide layer which is grown to remove the damage generated during the previous process. 
   The subsequent post processing steps are identical to those of  FIG. 9   d ,  FIG. 10   d  and  FIG. 11   d.    
     FIG. 13  is an example for fabricating a body where the channel of the FinFET device is to be formed according to the present invention. It shows the essential processing steps for fabricating the structure by forming a spacer  30  and growing a field oxidation layer  28 . 
   In comparison to  FIG. 12 , only the material making up the spacer  30  is different. 
   In  FIG. 13   a , a first oxide layer  6  is formed with a thickness between 0.5 nm and 200 nm after the Fin active region  4  is formed through a photolithography process, a nitride layer  14  is formed above the first oxide layer  6  with a thickness between 10 nm and 200 nm, and a third oxidation layer  20  is formed on the nitride layer  14  with a thickness between 5 nm and 500 nm. 
     FIG. 13   a  shows a cross section when the third oxide layer  20 , nitride layer  14 , first oxide layer  6  and the silicon of the bulk silicon substrate  2   b  are etched. 
   The height of the formed Fin active region should be between 10 nm and 1000 nm. 
   In this condition, a thin buffer oxide layer  22  is formed with a thickness between 1 nm and 20 nm and a nitride layer  24  is formed on the buffer oxide layer  22  with a thickness between 5 nm and 100 nm. 
   Also, when anisotropic etching is carried out after a poly-silicon or amorphous silicon as a spacer  30  material is formed on the nitride layer  24  with a thickness between 5 nm and 100 nm, a spacer  30  is formed. 
   This structure is shown in  FIG. 13   b , and the spacer  30  in  FIG. 13   b  and the spacer oxide layer  26  in  FIG. 12   b  are different materials. 
   In  FIG. 13   b , poly-silicon or amorphous silicon is used for spacer materials. This is due to the fact that when the spacer oxide layer  26  is etched, a buffer oxide layer below the nitride layer  24  is etched together and might negatively affect the growth of the field oxide layer  28  later. 
   Also, the poly-silicon or amorphous silicon can be doped with a high concentration value. 
     FIG. 12   b  shows a cross section when the silicon of the bulk substrate  2   b  is isotropically etched with a thickness between 30 nm and 300 nm. 
   Eventually, the height of the Fin active region  4  protruding above the second oxide layer  10  is between 5 nm and 300 nm. 
     FIG. 12   d  shows a cross section of a gate oxide layer  12  grown in the formed Fin active region  4 . 
   It is more preferable to clean the side-walls of the protruding Fin active region  4  before growing the gate oxide layer  12  and to carry out an annealing process in a nitrogen or Argon atmosphere after removing a sacrificial oxide layer which is grown to remove the damage generated during the previous process. 
   The subsequent post processing steps are identical to those of  FIG. 9   d ,  FIG. 10   d ,  FIG. 11   d  and  FIG. 12   d.
