Abstract:
The present application provides a method for manufacturing FDSOI devices. The method includes steps of: providing a semiconductor structure which comprises a silicon substrate, a buried oxide layer on the silicon substrate, a silicon-on-insulator layer on the buried oxide layer; and a hard mask layer on the silicon-on-insulator layer; performing spin coating of a photoresist on the hard mask layer to form a bulk silicon region; performing plasma anisotropic etching on the bulk silicon region to open a part of the buried oxide layer, and then performing isotropic etching, so that the silicon-on-insulator layer shrinks in the horizontal direction; performing plasma anisotropic etching to etch through the buried oxide layer to form a bulk silicon region trench; performing silicon epitaxial growth in the bulk silicon region trench. The silicon-on-insulator layer is still shrinks after the bulk silicon region trench is formed, as the result, there is no bump on the surface of the silicon-on-insulator layer, thus the process window becomes controllable.
