Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of fabricating a spatial semiconductor structure includes steps as follows. Firstly, a semiconductor substrate is provided. Then, a first mask layer is formed above the semiconductor substrate. Then, at least a first opening is formed in the first mask layer and exposes a portion of a surface of the semiconductor substrate. Then, a first semiconductor pattern is formed in the first opening. Then, a second mask layer is formed over the first semiconductor pattern and the first mask layer. Then, at least a second opening is formed through the second mask layer to the first mask layer and exposes another portion of the surface of the semiconductor substrate. And, a second semiconductor pattern is formed in the second opening.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating a spatial semiconductor structure, comprising steps as follows: providing a semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor substrate is made of bulk silicon (Si) substrate, silicon on insulator (SOI), germanium (Ge) substrate or silicon/germanium substrate; forming a first mask layer above the semiconductor substrate; forming at least a first opening in the first mask layer and exposing a portion of a surface of the semiconduc…
