METHODS OF FABRICATING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES USING PRELIMINARY TRENCHES WITH EPITAXIAL GROWTH

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device can be provided by etching sidewalls of a preliminary trench in a substrate that are between immediately adjacent gate electrode structures, to recess the sidewalls further beneath the gate electrode structures to provide recessed sidewalls. Then, the r...

Zusammenfassung:A method of fabricating a semiconductor device can be provided by etching sidewalls of a preliminary trench in a substrate that are between immediately adjacent gate electrode structures, to recess the sidewalls further beneath the gate electrode structures to provide recessed sidewalls. Then, the recessed sidewalls and a bottom of the preliminary trench can be etched using crystallographic anisotropic etching to form a hexagonally shaped trench in the substrate.
