Affiliated field
The present invention relates to a kind of three-dimensional multilayer planar complementary metal oxide semiconductor structure and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
The IC industry is followed the Moor law at present, and the integrated level of device is increasing, and performance doubled the price drop by half in per 18 months.Mainly contain three kinds of methods that improve the device integrated level at present: the characteristic size, increase wafer area, the preparation three-dimensional structure device that reduce device.MOS metal-oxide-semiconductor integrated circuit develop rapidly over the years to 0.13 μ m and even 90nm, has brought earth-shaking variation to semiconductor technology from 0.25 μ m technological development.But be faced with many new problems along with device size reaches the nanometer field, can not meet the demands, need seek new low-K dielectric material or the like as traditional exposure technique.The appearance of therefore new technical problem and high cost make will become more and more difficult from reducing the approach that device feature size improves the device integrated level.Though the technology of " from bottom to top " is also proposed at present, promptly from nano dot, nano wire even atom, molecule, the preparation nano-device, this technology is had got long long way to go from industry.The wafer technology develops into 12 inches from 8 inches, but the increase of wafer size can reduce its rate of finished products.No matter reduce the characteristic size or the increase wafer area of device, every renewal once all needs more exchange device and processing line, and this equipment depreciation to semiconductor factory all causes certain pressure.
The three-dimension device structure just proposed as far back as the 1980s, and had been applied in technology such as memory, as in order to increase capacity area electric capacity being prepared into flute profile; For the integrated level of the static random access memory (SRAM) that improves 6 transistor units will be wherein 2 transistor preparations all the other 4 transistorized above.Owing to be difficult on insulator, prepare monocrystalline silicon, 2 thin-film transistor preparations are on polycrystalline, and when 0.25 μ m technology, obtain bigger commercial profit, but because the existence of crystal boundary makes transistor channel carrier mobility and switch current ratio all lower, when the commodity production that can not meet the demands, and stopped during less than 1.8V of Vdd operating voltage.Lee proposes to adopt annealing process that amorphous silicon is converted into monocrystalline silicon, thus preparation monocrystal thin films transistor (Ga Won Lee, the patent No.: US6,723,589B2).This method can improve the performance of thin-film transistor greatly, but still can not prepare large-area monocrystalline silicon.Proposition PMOS such as S.J.Abou-Samra overlay the 3DMOS on the NMOS, its upper strata monocrystalline silicon layer adopts the method for epitaxial lateral overgrowth, this method can not obtain large-area monocrystalline silicon equally, and treatment temperature is higher, can only obtain two-layer MOS structure (S.J.Abou-Samra, et al., Proc.Of the 8th International Symposium on SOI Technology andDevices, Paris, France, September 1997, PP384-388).Also having a kind of method is the vertical CMOS structure, be about to the MOS structure and stand upside down, source and leakage are placed on upper-lower position, and this method can be decreased to the cellar area of CMOS original 1/4, but the technology of this structure is very complicated, and this structure exists parasitic capacitance (Lamb AC, Riley LS, Hall S, Kunz VD, de Groot CH, Ashburn P, ESSDERC 2001 conference proceedings p347;

In a word, from current 3D CMOS technique, except that special vertical CMOS, the material of preparation thin-film transistor or be polysilicon or be small size monocrystalline silicon.And the CMP technology and be widely used in the technical bonding of SOI and lift-off technology transfer to for large tracts of land monocrystalline silicon provide on the insulating substrate that contains device may.Because the existence of device layer and metal connecting line, K cryogenic treatment becomes a key issue.Commercial at present bonding techniques comprises that it mainly is the commercial SOI substrate of preparation that bonding and back side corrosion (BESOI), smart peeling (Smart-cut) and porous epitaxial silicon layer shift (Eltran) technology, does not need to consider K cryogenic treatment.People's such as Drago Resnik result of study shows that chemically treated two wafer bondings of process are bond strength (Drago Resnik, et al., Sensors and Actuators 80 (2000) 68-76) after 400 ℃ of annealing can reach capacity.In general, dosage is 6 * 10
16Cm
-2Notes hydrogen sheet about 500 ℃, produce and peel off, and the sample exfoliation temperature that boron, hydrogen are annotated altogether is less than 400 ℃ of (T.Hochbauer et al., Journal of Applied Physics, 86 (1999) 4176-4183; In many new, thesis for the doctorate, calendar year 2001).In fact, contain the bonding pad of annotating hydrogen layer or porous silicon layer and under mechanism, can successfully peel off (W.G.En, I.J.Malik, M.A.Bryan et al in room temperature, Proceedings 1998 IEEE International SOIConference, Oct.1998:163).These research work provide technical foundation for low temperature thin film shifts.
