Abstract:
A structure and a formation method of a semiconductor device structure are provided. The method includes forming a first fin structure, a second fin structure, and a third fin structure over a semiconductor substrate. The method includes forming first spacer elements over sidewalls of the first fin structure and the second fin structure and partially removing the first fin structure and the second fin structure. The method includes forming second spacer elements over sidewalls of the third fin structure and partially removing the third fin structure. The second spacer element is taller than the first spacer element. The method includes epitaxially growing a semiconductor material over the first fin structure, the second fin structure, and the third fin structure such that a merged semiconductor element is formed on the first fin structure and the second fin structure, and a semiconductor element is formed on the third fin structure.

Claim (Index 19):
A method for forming a semiconductor device structure, comprising:\n forming a first metal-containing element over a semiconductor substrate; forming a metal layer on a surface of the first metal-containing element, wherein the metal layer absorbs oxygen from the first metal-containing element and becomes an oxygen-containing layer; providing a metal-containing precursor on the oxygen-containing layer using an atomic layer deposition process to etch the oxygen-containing layer and to continue to selectively form a metal-containing layer on the first metal-containing element, wherein after etching the oxygen-containing layer, the surface originally covered by the oxygen-containing layer is directly exposed to the metal-containing precursor to form the metal-containing layer on the surface; and forming a second metal-containing element on the metal-containing layer.
