Detailed Description
Note that "surface", "upper", as used herein, describes a relative positional relationship in space, and is not limited to whether or not it is in direct contact.
As described in the background, performance enhancement is needed for semiconductor structures formed using existing FinFET technology. Analysis will now be described in connection with a semiconductor structure.
Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a semiconductor structure forming process.
Referring to fig. 1, a substrate is provided, wherein the substrate includes a base 100, a fin portion located on a portion of a surface of the base 100, and a hard mask layer 103 located on a top surface of the fin portion, the fin portion includes a bottom structure 101 and a channel layer 102 located on the bottom structure 101, and a protection layer 104 is formed on the surface of the fin portion by a non-selective epitaxy process.
In the above method, the material of the bottom structure 101 of the fin portion is silicon, the material of the channel layer 102 is germanium silicon or silicon, and the material of the protection layer 104 is monocrystalline silicon. In the non-selective epitaxial process, since the lattice matching rate of the silicon material with the fin portion is high and the lattice of the silicon material is not matched with the lattice of the hard mask layer 103, a single crystal silicon thin film layer is formed on the surface of the fin portion, and a large amount of amorphous silicon thin film layers are formed on the surface of the hard mask layer 103, wherein the forming speed of the amorphous silicon thin film layers is higher than that of the single crystal silicon thin film layers. In addition, the amorphous silicon thin film layer on the sidewall of the hard mask layer 103 is difficult to be etched later, so that a residual amorphous silicon material is formed on the sidewall of the hard mask layer 103, thereby generating a defect a shown in fig. 1, which affects the performance of the formed device, such as causing leakage of the device.
In order to reduce the occurrence of the defect a, in another embodiment, the protection layer is formed by a non-selective epitaxy process, refer to fig. 2.

The present embodiment is different from the previous embodiment in that the protection layer 204 is formed by a selective epitaxy process. The selective epitaxy process comprises a plurality of film forming processes, wherein each film forming process comprises a material film forming process and an etching process after the material film is formed.
In the selective epitaxy process, the amorphous silicon thin film layer on the surface of the hard mask layer 203 can be removed by an etching process after the material film is formed, however, the fin portion is also easily etched by the etching process, so that a fillet B (shown in fig. 2) phenomenon is generated at the top corner of the fin portion, and the roughness of the surface of the side wall of the fin portion is higher.
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for forming a semiconductor structure, in which before forming a first protection layer, a hard mask layer is removed, and the hard mask layer is removed to expose the top surface of a fin portion, so that in the process of forming the first protection layer on the surface of the fin portion by using an epitaxial growth process, the surface of the fin portion has an epitaxial growth point of a uniform first protection layer material, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity of the formed first protection layer, and avoiding etching damage to the fin portion due to an etching process possibly introduced in the epitaxial growth process, thereby improving a process window.
