    Fabrication of vertical field effect transistors with uniform structural profiles
    		Publication/Patent Number: US10090303B2 Publication Date: 2018-10-02 Application Number: 15/789,217 Filing Date: 2017-10-20 Inventor： Cheng kangguo   Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation   IPC: H01L27/088 Abstract: Semiconductor devices are fabricated with vertical field effect transistor (FET) devices having uniform structural profiles. Semiconductor fabrication methods for vertical FET devices implement a process flow to fabricate dummy fins within isolation regions to enable the formation of vertical FET devices with uniform structural profiles within device regions. Sacrificial semiconductor fins are formed in the isolation regions concurrently with semiconductor fins in the device regions, to minimize/eliminate micro-loading effects from an etch process used for fin patterning and, thereby, form uniform profile semiconductor fins. The sacrificial semiconductor fins within the isolation regions also serve to minimize/eliminate non-uniform topography and micro-loading effects when planarizing and recessing conductive gate layers and, thereby. form conductive gate structures for vertical FET devices with uniform gate lengths in the device regions. The sacrificial semiconductor fins are subsequently removed and replaced with insulating material to form the dummy fins.
