Description

硅锗/硅的化学气相淀积生长方法Chemical vapor deposition growth method of silicon germanium/silicon

                           技术领域Technical field

本发明属于晶体材料的化学气相淀积生长技术领域,尤其涉及一种半导体薄膜材料的化学气相淀积外延生长方法。The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical vapor deposition growth of crystal materials, in particular to a chemical vapor deposition epitaxial growth method of semiconductor thin film materials.

                           技术背景 technical background

随着半导体技术的发展,近年来出现了一些新型的半导体材料,硅锗(SiGe)合金就是其中之一。由于改变合金中的锗组分可裁剪硅锗(Si1-xGex)材料的带隙宽度,使得硅锗/硅(Si1-xGex/Si)新材料获得特殊的物理特性及电学特性而受到人们的重视。只要采用成熟的硅(Si)工艺技术就可以方便地利用Si1-xGex材料制作出新型微电子及光电子器件,其中Si1-xGex/Si异质结体系器件以其超高速、低成本的优势,向传统的硅和砷化镓技术形成强烈的挑战,包括IBM、奔驰等在内的一些国际集团公司都投入了大量的资金,研究Si1-xGex材料的生长技术及器件的设计、制造技术及应用。基于Si1-xGex材料的器件和电路已研制成功并正趋于实用化。With the development of semiconductor technology, some new semiconductor materials have appeared in recent years, and silicon germanium (SiGe) alloy is one of them. Since changing the germanium composition in the alloy can tailor the bandgap width of the silicon germanium (Si 1-x Ge x ) material, the new material silicon germanium/silicon (Si 1-x Ge x /Si) obtains special physical properties and electrical properties characteristics are valued by people. As long as the mature silicon (Si) process technology is adopted, new microelectronic and optoelectronic devices can be easily produced using Si 1-x Ge x materials, among which Si 1-x Ge x /Si heterojunction devices are characterized by their ultra-high speed, The advantage of low cost poses a strong challenge to the traditional silicon and gallium arsenide technology. Some international group companies, including IBM and Mercedes-Benz, have invested a lot of money in researching the growth technology of Si 1-x Ge x materials and Device design, manufacturing technology and application. Devices and circuits based on Si 1-x Ge x materials have been successfully developed and are becoming practical.

目前,国内外Si1-xGex/Si材料外延生长的方法主要有分子束外延(MBE)生长技术和化学气相淀积(CVD)生长技术两大主流类。MBE技术生长的材料精度高,质量好,且能够实时控制,但其设备昂贵,运行成本高,更重要的是不易形成批量生产,难以实现产业化。相对而言,化学气相淀积技术则具有淀积温度较低、薄膜成分和厚度易控制、均匀性和重复性好、台阶覆盖优良、适用范围广、技术成本低、设备简单、可大批量生产等一系列优点。因此,目前国内外Si1-xGex材料的外延生长多采用CVD技术。与本发明相关的化学气相淀积技术有:超高真空化学气相淀积(UHV/CVD)和紫外光化学气相淀积(UV/CVD)两种工艺技术方法。At present, the epitaxial growth methods of Si 1-x Ge x /Si materials at home and abroad mainly include molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth technology and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth technology. The material grown by MBE technology has high precision, good quality, and can be controlled in real time, but the equipment is expensive, the operating cost is high, and more importantly, it is difficult to form mass production and realize industrialization. In contrast, chemical vapor deposition technology has the advantages of low deposition temperature, easy control of film composition and thickness, good uniformity and repeatability, excellent step coverage, wide application range, low technical cost, simple equipment, and mass production. And so on a series of advantages. Therefore, at present, the epitaxial growth of Si 1-x Ge x materials at home and abroad mostly adopts CVD technology. The chemical vapor deposition technology related to the present invention includes: ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHV/CVD) and ultraviolet photochemical vapor deposition (UV/CVD).

UHV/CVD技术是指在超高真空系统中(背景真空度应优于10-7Pa),将气相物质经化学反应淀积在衬底表面形成所需要的外延层的技术,其衬底温度高于600℃。UHV/CVD技术能够有效地减小衬底与外延层界面的沾污和氧、碳等杂质的污染,从而获得高质量的满足硅锗/硅异质结双极晶体管(Si1-xGex/Si-HBT)及其它应用要求的Si1-xGex/Si材料。 半导体学报)》第22卷第3期《采用高真空/快速热处理/化学气相淀积外延SiGe HBT结构)》一文中报道利用UHV/CVD技术生长Si1-xGex/Si材料,温度为550℃。图1是其生长出的样品的双晶X射线回摆曲线。UHV/CVD技术Si1-xGex/Si材料生长温度高,易造成Ge和掺杂元素的外扩散,导致Si1-xGex/Si材料界面不清晰,且界面应力大,易形成缺陷,影响器件特性。因此人们仍希望能进一步降低其生长温度。UHV/CVD technology refers to the technology of depositing gas-phase substances on the surface of the substrate to form the required epitaxial layer through chemical reaction in the ultra-high vacuum system (the background vacuum should be better than 10 -7 Pa). higher than 600°C. UHV/CVD technology can effectively reduce the contamination of the interface between the substrate and the epitaxial layer and the contamination of impurities such as oxygen and carbon, so as to obtain high-quality silicon germanium/silicon heterojunction bipolar transistors (Si 1-x Ge x /Si-HBT) and Si 1-x Ge x /Si materials required by other applications. Semiconductor Journal) "Volume 22 No. 3 "Using High Vacuum/Rapid Thermal Treatment/Chemical Vapor Deposition Epitaxial SiGe HBT Structure)" reported the use of UHV/CVD technology to grow Si 1-x Ge x /Si materials at a temperature of 550 ℃. Figure 1 is the twin crystal X-ray back-dog curve of the grown sample. UHV/CVD technology Si 1-x Ge x /Si material growth temperature is high, which is easy to cause outdiffusion of Ge and dopant elements, resulting in unclear interface of Si 1-x Ge x /Si material, and large interface stress, easy to form defects , affecting device characteristics. Therefore, it is still hoped that the growth temperature can be further reduced.

UV/CVD技术借助紫外光子能量在低温下离解气相反应物的化学键,经化学反应淀积在衬底表面形成外延层。采用UV/CVD技术的优点是反应温度低,可获得应力小、界面清晰的外延层材料。但常规UV/CVD技术的缺点是背景真空度低,使外延材料易受大气中氧、碳及其它有害杂质污染,影响了外延层的质量。根据J.Electronic Materials,1990,№5,p1083的报导,采用光CVD技术生长Si1-xGexi材料的衬低温度是250~300℃,但Si1-xGex材料的晶体质量差。UV/CVD technology uses ultraviolet photon energy to dissociate the chemical bonds of gas phase reactants at low temperature, and deposits on the substrate surface through chemical reaction to form an epitaxial layer. The advantage of using UV/CVD technology is that the reaction temperature is low, and the epitaxial layer material with small stress and clear interface can be obtained. However, the disadvantage of conventional UV/CVD technology is that the background vacuum is low, which makes the epitaxial material susceptible to contamination by oxygen, carbon and other harmful impurities in the atmosphere, which affects the quality of the epitaxial layer. According to the report of J.Electronic Materials, 1990, 5, p1083, the minimum substrate temperature for growing Si 1-x Ge xi materials by optical CVD technology is 250-300°C, but the crystal quality of Si 1-x Ge x materials is poor .

可以看出,上述UHV/CVD和UV/CVD技术各有优点,但对于外延生长同时具备应力小、界面特性清晰、晶体结构完整的器件级Si1-xGex/Si材料又都存在各自的缺陷与不足。要达到器件级材料要求,Si1-xGex/Si材料的生长应具备低温及超高真空度生长背景条件。It can be seen that the above-mentioned UHV/CVD and UV/CVD technologies have their own advantages, but for epitaxial growth, device-level Si 1-x Ge x /Si materials with small stress, clear interface characteristics, and complete crystal structure have their own advantages. Defects and deficiencies. To meet the requirements of device-level materials, the growth of Si 1-x Ge x /Si materials should have low temperature and ultra-high vacuum growth background conditions.

The reaction gas includes silane (SiH 4 ) and germane (GeH 4 ); the flow rate of the reaction gas Set according to the doping concentration and chemical reaction speed of the growing material, turn on the ultraviolet light source, and irradiate the reaction gas in the vacuum reaction chamber. The irradiation time depends on the thickness of the growing material. During the irradiation of the ultraviolet light source, the pressure of the vacuum reaction chamber is always Maintained at 1 ~ 10Pa.

本发明生长多层硅锗/硅(Si1-xGex/Si)材料的方法是,在第一层Si1-xGex材料生长完毕之后,立即关闭紫外光源并停止通入反应气体,迅速将滞留在真空反应室中的残余气体抽净;根据要生长的材料中的Ge组分、掺杂类型、生长厚度,切换反应气体,改变工艺条件,然后打开紫外光源,进行新一层材料外延生长;依据所需外延生长硅锗材料的层数,循环上述过程。The method for growing multi-layer silicon germanium/silicon (Si 1-x Ge x /Si) material of the present invention is that after the first layer of Si 1-x Ge x material is grown, immediately turn off the ultraviolet light source and stop feeding the reaction gas, Quickly pump out the residual gas trapped in the vacuum reaction chamber; switch the reaction gas and change the process conditions according to the Ge component, doping type, and growth thickness of the material to be grown, and then turn on the ultraviolet light source to perform a new layer of material Epitaxial growth: the above process is repeated according to the number of layers of silicon germanium material to be epitaxially grown.

本发明的化学反应原理是采用汞敏化光化学气相淀积技术激励反应气体分解,也就是说,由低压汞灯发出的253.7nm的紫外光子被作为敏化剂的汞原子吸收,然后利用处于激发态的汞离化反应气体淀积成膜。这个过程中,紫外光子将汞原子从基态Hg(1S0)激发到三重态Hg(3P1),处于这个激发态的汞原子,具有超过基态112.2kcal/mol的能量。这些能量可以通过碰撞传递给反应气体即硅烷、锗烷和二氯二氢硅等分子,碰撞后三线激发态的汞原子回到基态。接受了能量的反应气体分子在气相中发生离解的化学反应,并在硅衬底片表面发生吸附反应,形成所需要的材料薄膜。具体反应过程如下:The chemical reaction principle of the present invention is to adopt mercury-sensitized photochemical vapor deposition technology to stimulate the reaction gas to decompose, that is to say, the 253.7nm ultraviolet photons emitted by the low-pressure mercury lamp are absorbed by mercury atoms as a sensitizer, and then utilize the The mercury ionization reaction gas in the state is deposited to form a film. In this process, the ultraviolet photons excite the mercury atoms from the ground state Hg ( 1 S 0 ) to the triplet state Hg ( 3 P 1 ). The mercury atoms in this excited state have an energy exceeding 112.2 kcal/mol in the ground state. These energies can be transferred to molecules of the reaction gas, such as silane, germane, and dichlorodihydrosilane, through collisions, and the mercury atoms in the triplet excited state return to the ground state after the collision. Reactive gas molecules that have received energy undergo a chemical reaction of dissociation in the gas phase, and undergo an adsorption reaction on the surface of the silicon substrate to form the required material film. Concrete reaction process is as follows:

本发明的有益效果体现在以下几个方面:The beneficial effects of the present invention are reflected in the following aspects:

(一)本发明吸收了光化学气相淀积(UV/CVD)技术的优点,借助光子能量,大大降低了在Si1-xGex/Si材料生长时的衬底温度。衬底温度可以在400~450℃范围内选择,有效避免和降低了高温下Ge和掺杂元素的外扩散所造成的材料界面不清晰,高温下晶片翘曲,以及Si1-xGex/Si材料界面应力所造成的缺陷,因此能生长出高质量的Si1-xGex/Si赝晶结构,为器件制造创造出有利的条件。(1) The present invention absorbs the advantages of photochemical vapor deposition (UV/CVD) technology, and greatly reduces the substrate temperature during the growth of Si 1-x Ge x /Si materials with the help of photon energy. The substrate temperature can be selected in the range of 400-450°C, which effectively avoids and reduces the unclear material interface caused by the out-diffusion of Ge and dopant elements at high temperature, wafer warpage at high temperature, and Si 1-x Ge x / The defects caused by the interface stress of Si material can grow high-quality Si 1-x Ge x /Si pseudomorphic structure, creating favorable conditions for device manufacturing.

(二)本发明吸收了UHV/CVD技术的反应室处于超高真空背景的优点,而且所使用的生长设备采取了三级真空室逐级过渡的结构。反应进行前,反应室具有优于10-7Pa的背景真空度,而且硅衬底片自最终清洗即与大气隔绝,这样既能够使硅衬底片在反应时保持一个新鲜的表面,又能有效地避免碳、氧等大气中有害杂质元素在材料生长过程中对Si1-xGex/Si材料质量的影响,从而对生长高质量的Si1-xGex/Si材料提供了有效地保证。(2) The present invention absorbs the advantage that the reaction chamber of UHV/CVD technology is in an ultra-high vacuum background, and the growth equipment used adopts a structure of three-stage vacuum chambers transitioning step by step. Before the reaction, the reaction chamber has a background vacuum of better than 10 -7 Pa, and the silicon substrate is isolated from the atmosphere since the final cleaning, which can not only keep a fresh surface of the silicon substrate during the reaction, but also effectively Avoiding the influence of harmful impurity elements in the atmosphere such as carbon and oxygen on the quality of Si 1-x Ge x /Si materials during the material growth process, thus providing an effective guarantee for the growth of high-quality Si 1-x Ge x /Si materials.

(三)本发明在化学反应过程中,可根据需要在1~10Pa范围内选择反应室的压力,以调节反应速度。这样既可以提高Si1-xGex/Si材料的结晶质量,生长出高质量的材料,也可以更有效地精确控制材料生长厚度。(3) During the chemical reaction process of the present invention, the pressure of the reaction chamber can be selected in the range of 1-10 Pa as required to adjust the reaction speed. In this way, the crystallization quality of the Si 1-x Ge x /Si material can be improved, high-quality materials can be grown, and the growth thickness of the material can be controlled more effectively and precisely.

(四)本发明生长Si1-xGex/Si材料所采用的方法是,当一层材料生长完毕后,关闭光源即可停止反应,并迅速将反应室中的残余气体抽净,而后切换气源进行另一层材料的生长。由于关闭光源会使光分解反应立即停止,而且在只有400~450℃的衬底温度下,残余的反应气体很难发生热分解,因此也不会对生长的材料产生不利影响。对于第二层来说,前一层仍是一个新鲜的表面。因此连续生长出的材料界面特性优异,从而有利于生长出适用于Si1-xGex/Si-HBT及其它器件的高质量的Si1-xGex/Si材料。(4) The method adopted for the growth of Si 1-x Ge x /Si material in the present invention is that after the growth of one layer of material is completed, the reaction can be stopped by turning off the light source, and the residual gas in the reaction chamber is quickly pumped out, and then switch The source of gas is used to grow another layer of material. Since turning off the light source will immediately stop the photodecomposition reaction, and at a substrate temperature of only 400-450°C, the residual reaction gas is difficult to thermally decompose, so it will not have an adverse effect on the grown material. For the second layer, the previous layer is still a fresh surface. Therefore, the continuously grown materials have excellent interface properties, which is beneficial to the growth of high-quality Si 1-x Ge x /Si materials suitable for Si 1- x Ge x /Si-HBT and other devices.
