The invention provides a method for manufacturing a
semiconductor device, which converts the upper layer of the side
wall material layer into an
ion damage layer by
ion implantation, and the
ion implantation
dose at the top corner of the step is lower than that at other plane positions during
ion implantation, so that After removing at least part of the ion damage layer by wet method, a relatively thick sidewall material layer can be retained on the top corner of the step, and after
dry etching the remaining sidewall material layer, the sidewall formed on the sidewall of the step can be made The wall, while having a required height at its top, has a maximum width at its bottom extending along the surface of the
semiconductor substrate, thereby reducing the
aspect ratio of the formed sidewall. And because the
aspect ratio of the formed sidewall is slower, it is more conducive to the
etching and removal of the redundant film layer formed at the step in the subsequent process, avoiding the problem of
etching residues formed on the sidewall of the step in the subsequent process, and thus improving the process caused by
etching. The phenomenon of short-
circuit failure of the device caused by the residue.
