Abstract:
A method for forming a semiconductor device structure is provided. The method includes forming a first layer over a substrate. The method includes forming a stop layer over the first layer. The method includes forming a second layer over the stop layer. The method includes performing a first planarization process over the second layer until the stop layer is exposed. The method includes performing an etching process to remove the second layer, the stop layer, and an upper portion of the first layer. The method includes performing a second planarization process over the first layer.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for forming a semiconductor device structure, comprising:\n forming a first semiconductor layer over a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a base portion and a fin portion over the base portion, and the first semiconductor layer covers the fin portion and the base portion; forming a second semiconductor layer over the first semiconductor layer; performing a planarization process over the second semiconductor layer to remove the second semiconductor layer, wherein the planarization process uses a polishing solution; performing an etching process to remove an upper portion of the first semiconductor layer, wherein protrusion structures are formed over a lower portion of the first semiconductor layer after the etching process; and removing the protrusion structures.
