Abstract

A method of forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. A substrate having multiple fins is provided. An insulating layer fills a lower portion of a gap between two adjacent fins. At least one first stacked structure is formed on one fin and at least one second stacked structure is formed on one insulation layer. A first dielectric layer is formed to cover the first and second stacked structures. A portion of the first dielectric layer and portions of the first and second stacked structures are removed. Another portion of the first dielectric layer is removed until a top of the remaining first dielectric layer is lower than tops of the first and second stacked structures. A second dielectric layer is formed to cover the first and second stacked structures. A portion of the second dielectric layer is removed until the tops of the first and second stacked structures are exposed.
