The processing chamber includes a sidewall and a top surface. The semiconductor fabrication apparatus further includes a heating mechanism disposed on the sidewall of the processing chamber and is operable to perform a baking process to remove a by-product generated during the etching, and a reflective mirror configured inside the processing chamber to reflect thermal energy from the heating mechanism toward the semiconductor wafer, the reflective mirror being located on the top surface of the processing chamber. The gas distribution plate defines a portion of the top surface of the processing chamber. From a top view, a portion of the reflective mirror is disposed between the heating mechanism and the gas distribution plate.

摘要: The present disclosure describes a semiconductor device with a rare earth metal oxide layer and a method for forming the same. The method includes forming fin structures on a substrate and forming superlattice structures on the fin structures, where each of the superlattice structures includes a first-type nanostructured layer and a second-type nanostructured layer. The method further includes forming an isolation layer between the superlattice structures, implanting a rare earth metal into a top portion of the isolation layer to form a rare earth metal oxide layer, and forming a polysilicon structure over the superlattice structures. The method further includes etching portions of the superlattice structures adjacent to the polysilicon structure to form a source/drain (S/D) opening and forming an S/D region in the S/D opening.
