Abstract

The invention discloses a separation method for double grids. The separation method comprises the steps that a hard mask layer is arranged at the top end of each fin of a fin field-effect transistor; the hard mask layers arranged at the top ends of the fins are removed partly or completely in a selective mode, and a grid layer is formed through sedimentation of grid materials; a photoresistance layer is formed on the upper surface of the grid layer, and grids corresponding to the fins with the hard mask layers reserved are exposed; the grids corresponding to the fins with the hard mask layers are partly etched away through the etching process, the etching process is stopped at the hard mask layers arranged on the top ends of the fins with the hard mask layers reserved, and therefore the heights of the corresponding grids are reduced and the corresponding grids are exposed; remaining portions of the photoresistance layer on the grid layer are removed. According to the separation method for the double grids, the hard mask layers and the photoresistance layer are additionally arranged in an early structure, as a result, etching accuracy can be controlled accurately, the structure is protected against damage, and difficulty of self alignment can be lowered.
