Patent attributes
Semiconductor device fabrication method is provided. The method includes providing a substrate; forming a first semiconductor layer on the substrate; forming a stack of semiconductor layer structures on the first semiconductor layer, each of the semiconductor layer structures comprising a second semiconductor layer and a third semiconductor layer on the second semiconductor layer, the second and third semiconductor layers having at least a common compound element, and the third semiconductor layer and the first semiconductor layer having a same semiconductor compound; performing an etching process to form a fin structure; performing a selective etching process on the second semiconductor layer to form a first air gap between the first semiconductor layer and the third semiconductor layer and a second air gap between each of adjacent third semiconductor layers in the stack of one or more semiconductor layer structures; and filling the first and second air gaps with an insulator layer.
