Abstract:
A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a fin-shaped structure on a substrate; forming a first gate structure and a second gate structure on the fin-shaped structure and an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer around the first gate structure and the second gate structure; transforming the first gate structure and the second gate structure into a first metal gate and a second metal gate; forming a hard mask on the first metal gate and the second metal gate; removing part of the hard mask, the second metal gate, and part of the fin-shaped structure to form a trench; and forming a dielectric layer into the trench to form a single diffusion break (SDB) structure.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 5 , further comprising planarizing part of the dielectric layer, part of the liner, and part of the hard mask so that the top surfaces of the SDB structure and the hard mask are coplanar.
