Abstract

A method for manufacturing an IGFET device which provides IGFETs having extremely shallow source (24) and drain (25) regions and reduced gate to source and drain overlap capacitances. For silicon MOS devices, the method also provides for the formation of metal silicide layers (33) on polysilicon gate electrodes (18) and interconnection paths and the source and drain regions in the same fabrication step. Source and drain regions are formed by oxidation of an arsenic doped polysilicon source layer (17) formed to be in contact with areas in the silicon surface in which such regions are to be formed. The thickness of the source layer and the conditions of oxidation are such that the rate of oxidation of the source layer exceeds the rate at which arsenic diffuses in the silicon at the oxidation temperature and that during the oxidation time, the arsenic in the source layer diffuses into the silicon to form extremely shallow source and drain regions.

Description

SPECIFICATION Method for manufacturing an insulated gate field effect transistor device This invention relates to the manufacture of insulated gate field effect transistor devices.
In the manufacture of insulated-gate fieldeffect transistor (hereinafter referred to as IGFET) devices, such as integrated circuits, it is generally desirable to reduce the conduction channel lengths of the IGFETs for the purpose of increasing the packing density and operating speed of the device. It is also generally desirable from the standpoint of increasing device speed, to reduce the gate t6 source and drain overlap capacitances of the IGFETs and to provide the device with lower resistance interconnections.
Recent advances in lithographic and etching techniques have made it possible to form IGFET's having channel lengths of less than 1 form. However, in order to avoid undesirable short channel effects, such as threshold voltage falloff, in such submicron channel length IGFETs, the source and drain regions of the IGFETs must be made extremely shallow. For example, in a silicon N-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor having an effective channel length of 0.5 ym, a gate oxide thickness of 250 Angstroms and a net channel doping concentration of 4x 1 016cm-3, short channel effects are substantially avoided if the depths of the source and drain regions extend less than 1000 Angstroms below the surface of the channel.
Furthermore, the sheet resistance of the source and drain regions of such a transistor must be relatively low (e.g. less than 70 ohms per square) so as not to reduce the current conduction capability of the transistor. Therefore, the fabrication of submicron channel length IGFETs requires the formation of source and drain regions which are extremely shallow and which have low sheet resistances.
In the prior art, source and drain regions of IGFETs are most frequently formed by either conventional diffusion or by ion implantations. In the case of conventional diffusion the source and drain regions are formed by diffusing an appropriate dopant impurity into selected areas of a semiconductor surface from an appropriate gas dopant source or from a predeposition source such as a doped semiconductor oxide layer or a doped polycrystalline semiconductor layer in contact with the surface.
The impurity is then thermally driven to a desired depth below the surface. However, because the rate of transport of the dopant impurity into the surface by conventional diffusion is generally limited by the solid solubility of the impurity at the diffusion temperature, conventional diffusion followed later by a standard annealing step has the disadvantage of ordinarily not being able to provide an extremely shallow diffused region with a sufficiently high impurity level to provide the region with a low sheet resistance.
In the case of ion implantation, the source and drain regions are formed by bombarding selected areas of the semiconductor surface with an energetic beam of an appropriate ionized dopant impurity. Although ion implantation can provide extremely shallow impurity regions having very high impurity levels, such regions tend to have high sheet resistances owing to lattice damage in the implanted region caused by the ion implantation. Such lattice damage ordinarily results in a significant portion of the dopant impurity not being in proper substitutional lattice sites and a lowering of the carrier mobility in the implanted region. Consequently, ion implantation has the disadvantage in that a post-implantation annealing treatment for repairing the lattice damage is ordinarily required to lower the sheet resistance of an implanted region.Such an annealing treatment tends to cause the region to diffuse to an excessive depth. For that reason, ion implantation cannot ordinarily be used to provide low sheet resistance source and drain regions of less than 2000 Angstroms in depth. Therefore, a need exists for a method for manufacturing IGFET devices which provides transistors having extremely shallow source and drain regions of low sheet resistance.
Presently, MOS transistors are preferably fabricated by a self-aligned gate technology in which a patterned gate electrode serves as diffusion or implantation mask for the formation of the source and drain regions. In such transistors, the gate to source and drain overlap capacitances arise primarily from the lateral diffusion of the source and drain regions under the gate electrode. Since the extent of lateral diffusion of the source or drain region is proportional to the depth of such a region, using shallower source and drain regions generally contributes to reducing the overlap capacitances.
With the invention as claimed it is possible to produce shallow source and drain regions in a self-aligned gate process.
Some embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:~ Fig. 1 to 3 are respectively schematic sectional views illustrating successive fabrication steps in the manufacture of an IGFET device according to alternative embodiments of the present invention Referring now to Figs. 1 to 3, there are shown schematic cross-sectional views representing a portion of a partially completed IGFET device 10 illustrating successive fabrication steps in the manufacture of the device according to alternative embodiments of the present invention The same reference numerals are used throughout Figs. 1 to 3 to denote like parts or regions of the device. As shown in Fig. 1, a 6-8 Q-cm p-type (boron doped) single crystalline silicon body 11 is first prepared.The body may, for example, be a portion of a substrate wafer or a portion of an epitaxial layer grown on a substrate wafer. A silicon dioxide layer 12, approximately 3500 Angstroms thick is thermally grown on a surface 13 of the body (step 1). Layer 12 will be referred to as the field oxide layer. Using known lithographic and anisotropic etching techniques, the field oxide layer is removed from at least one selected area 14 of the surface in which a transistor is to be formed (step 2). There will typically be many such transistor areas in a device such as an integrated circuit. The field oxide is etched by reactive sputter etching (RSE) in CHF3+NH3 to produce nearly vertical sidewalls 15 at the boundaries of the transistor area. A silicon dioxide layer 16, approximately 250 Angstroms thick, is then thermally grown in each selected area (step 3).Layer 16 will be referred to as the gate oxide layer. Although the present embodiment of the invention uses RSE of a nonselectively grown field oxide layer followed by a subsequent thermal oxidation to provide a gate oxide layer in each transistor area and a field oxide layer outside of the transistor areas, other techniques, such as the one known as selective oxidation, may also be used to provide similar oxide patterns.
A layer of polysilicon 17, approximately 3500 Angstroms thick, is formed by conventional chemical vapour deposition (CVD) over the entire surface of the body and doped with phosphorus to achieve a sheet resistance of approximately 30 ohms per square (step 4). (In some cases of practical importance, a metallic silicide layer is deposited on the polysilicon layer 17. This is not shown in the drawing). The polysilicon layer and any overlying silicide is patterned by known lithographic and anisotropic etching techniques to define a gate electrode 18 in each transistor area and interconnection paths (not shown) outside of the transistor areas. The polysilicon layer is etched by RSE in Cl2 to provide gate electrodes and interconnection paths with nearly vertical sidewalls 40.Each gate electrode 1 8 is formed in the shape of a strip extending across the transistor area 14 and covering a central portion thereof.
Turning now to Fig. 2, after patterning of the polysilicon layer, the gate oxide layer in each transistor area is partially removed to expose a first and a second portion 19 and 20 thereof in which the source and drain regions are to be formed. The gate oxide removals is masked by the gate electrode. Therefore, the remaining gate oxide 16 under the gate electrode also has substantally the same shape as the gate electrode. In one embodiment, the gate oxide is partially removed by RSE in CHF3+NH3 (step 6A). It is advantageous to perform the RSE at a relatively low power (e.g. less than 400 Watts) to minimize polymer deposition on the first and second portions. Such polymer deposition can increase the contact resistances of the source and drain regions which are subsequently formed in those portions.
In another and preferred embodiment, the uncovered gate oxide is removed by sputtering with oxygen ions at a power of approximately 500 Watts for approximately 30 minutes (step 6B).
The sputtering of the gate oxide causes regions of silicon dioxide 21 to be deposited by backsputtering on the sidewalls of the gate electrode and the field oxide layer. The backsputtered oxide regions 21, which have a thickness in the range of 500 to 1000 Angstroms, provide offsets between the edges of the gate electrode and the mask for the source and drain regions. The use of backsputtering to form offset oxide layers is disclosed and claimed in copending British patent application GB-21 10876-A. Such offsets are useful for reducing the gate to source and drain overlap capacitances. After the sputtering, the exposed first and second portions of surface 19 and 20 are preferably cleaned in a 100:1 solution of HF for approximately one minute. Such cleaning also removes approximately 100 Angstroms of the backsputtered oxide regions 21.
In still another embodiment, prior to the removal of the gate oxide, a layer of silicon dioxide 22 approximately 700 Angstroms thick is formed to cover substantially the entire surface of the body (step 5). Oxide layer 22 is advantageously formed by CVD from a tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) source. The composite structure 10 is then anisotropically etched by RSE in CHFs+NH3 to expose a first and a second portion 19 and 20 of each transistor area while leaving oxide regions 42 on the vertical sidewalls of the field oxide and the gate electrode (step 6C).
Once again, the RSE should be performed at low power (e.g. less than 400 Watts) to avoid excessive polymer deposition. The oxide regions 42 which remain on the sidewalls of the gate electrode provide offsets between the edges of the gate electrode and the mask for the source and drain regions. It will be noted that in order to use anisotropic etching to provide the offset oxide regions 42, the gate electrode 18 must be formed with substantially vertical sidewalls.
After removal of the gate oxide over the first and second portions of each selected area, the exposed portions are cleaned in a 100:1 solution of HF and a source layer 23 of polysilicon, approximately 500 Angstroms thick, is formed by CVD over the entire surface of the body (step 7).
The source layer is doped by ion implantation with arsenic to a concentration of approximately 1 X 1021 cm-3. Although the disclosed embodiments use ion implantation to dope the source layer, other method of doping the source layer, such as in situ doping during deposition of the source layer or conventional diffusion after deposition, may be substituted for the ion implantation. However, if ion implantation is used, the energy of the implant must be such that the ions do not penetrate through the source layer. An energy of 30 KeV was found to be satisfactory for implanting a 500 Angstrom thick polysilicon layer with arsenic. No annealing of the source layer is necessary after the implant.
The composite structure 10 is then heated at a temperature of approximately 900 degrees C in the presence of steam (water vapour) to effect oxidation of the polysilicon source layer (step 8).
The source layer is permitted to be completely consumed by oxidation in approximately 20 minutes. During that time, the arsenic in the source layer is driven into the silicon body to form source and drain regions 24 and 25 which extend approximately 400 Angstroms below the surface of the body. The oxidation time may vary depending on the method of doping. For example, under the same conditions complete oxidation of an in situ doped source layer of the same thickness requires approximately 40 minutes.
The oxidation of the source layer produces a layer of silicon oxide 26 which is in contact with the source and drain regions upon completion of the oxidation. Silicon dioxide has a tendency to~ reject arsenic, which preferentially segregates in the unoxidized portion of the polysilicon. The ratio of the equilibrium concentration of an impurity in the silicon to that in the silicon dioxide is denoted by the term silicon/silicon-dioxide segregation coefficient and is defined as Equilibrium Concentration of Impurity in Silicon m= Equilibrium Concentration of Impurity in SiO2 Since arsenic has a silicon/silicon-dioxide segregation coefficient of approximately 800, nearly all of the arsenic in the polysilicon source layer is segregated in the unoxidized portion of the layer during oxidation.Upon completion of the oxidation nearly all of the arsenic in the region of the polysilicon layer above the first and second portions of the transistor area will have been driven into the source and drain regions 24 and 25.
Because the oxidation rate of the polysilicon layer at 900 degrees C in steam is greater than the rate at which arsenic diffuses in the polysilicon layer and the body at that temperature, there is an accumulation of arsenic at the silicon-dioxide/silicon interface which increases with oxidation time. To a lesser extent, there is also an accumulation of arsenic at the polysilicon/single-crystal-silicon interface due to grain boundary diffusion and segregation of the arsenic. After the polysilicon layer is completely oxidized, the arsenic concentrations at the surfaces of the source and drain regions are nearly twice the solid solubility of arsenic in silicon at 900 degrees C.Therefore, the oxidation of the arsenic doped polysilicon source layer provides extremely shallow source and drain regions having considerably higher surface concentrations of arsenic than can be provided by conventional diffusion. Steam oxidation of the polysilicon source layer may also be performed at otherte-mperatures, advantageously in the range of 800,to 950 degrees C.
It should be noted that the source layer does not oxidize uniformly. Owing to the negligibly small diffusivity of arsenic in silicon dioxide as compared with that in silicon, the accumulation of arsenic at the silicon-dioxide/silicon interface is greater in the regions of the polysilicon layer above the field oxide layer 12 than in the regions above the exposed areas of the silicon body 1 9 and 20. Since the oxidation rate of silicon decreases as the arsenic concentration therein increases, it is necessary to "over-oxidize" the regions of the source layer above the exposed areas and consume approximately 200 Angstroms of the body in those areas in order to obtain complete oxidation of the regions of the source layer above the field oxide layer.Overoxidation may be avoided by forming the source layer to cover only each transistor area or by doping only the region of the source layer above each transistor area.
After oxidation of the layer, the source and drain regions 24 and 25 have relatively high sheet resistances of approximately 140 ohms per square, owing to a significant portion of the arsenic impurities in those regions not occupying proper substitutional lattice sites. However, the oxidation of the source layer causes relatively little lattice damage in those regions. Therefore, a relatively short annealing treatment of approximately 30 minutes at approximately 950 degrees C in nitrogen is used to activate substantially all the arsenic in the source and drain regions. A separate annealing step is not required if subsequent processing steps include heat treatments sufficient for activating the arsenic.
Turning now to Fig. 3, the silicon dioxide layer resulting from the oxidation of the source layer is anisotropically etched by RSE in CHF3+NH3 to expose surface portions 27 and 28 of the source and drain areas 24 and 25, respectively (step 9).
Also exposed by the anisotropic etching is the top surface 29 of the gate electrode 18 in each transistor area and the top surfaces of the polysilicon interconnection paths (not shown). A layer of cobalt approximately 200 Angstroms thick is formed by conventional sputtering techniques over the entire surface of the body (step 10). The composite structure 10 is then heated at approximately 450 degrees C for approximately 90 minutes to initiate a sintering reaction between the cobalt layer and the silicon and polysilicon surfaces in contact therewith. The unreacted cobalt is then removed by etching in a 5:3:1:1 volume mixture of acetic, nitric, phosphoric and sulphuric acids.The composite structure is heated again, this time in an oxidizing ambient, at approximately 900 degrees C for approximately 30 minutes to continue the sintering reaction to produce cobalt disilicide layers 31, 32 and 33 over the source and drain regions and the gate electrode, respectively, in each transistor area. The formation of cobalt disilicide layers is disclosed and claimed in patent application GB-2104728A.
Each cobalt silicide layer is approximately 700 Angstroms thick. The sintering reaction also produces cobalt silicide layers over the polysilicon interconnection paths (not shown). Thus, the contact silicide layers for the source and drain regions and the resistance lowering silicide layers for the polysilicon gate electrodes and interconnection paths are formed in the same processing step. It will be noted that the simultaneous formation of the silicide layers is made possible by the formation of the silicondioxide layer 34 on the sidewalls of the gate electrodes and on the polysilicon interconnection paths (not shown) by the oxidation of the source layer and the anisotropic etching of the resulting silicon dioxide layer.
The combined heating of the annealing treatment and the sintering of the cobalt causes the source and drain regions 24 and 25 to diffuse to a depth of approximately 1000 Angstroms and acquire sheet resistances of less than 7 ohms per square. These regions also diffuse laterally by approximately 700 Angstroms causing the gate to overlap these regions. The overlap is virtually eliminated in those embodiments where offset oxide regions of at least 700 Angstroms in thickness are formed on the sidewalls of the gate electrode by one of the above-described techniques prior to the deposition of the source layer. However, even where no offset oxide layer is used the overlap between the gate electrode and the source or drain region is less than the extent of the lateral diffusion of the source and drain regions if the source layer is doped by ion implantation.Since the energy of the implant is adjusted so that the ions do not penetrate the thickness of the source layer, the vertical regions of the source layer adjacent to the sidewalls of the gate electrode are not implanted. Consequently, the diffusion of dopants from the source layer is offset from the edges of the gate electrode.
After formation of the silicide layers, successive layers of undoped and phosphorus doped silicon dioxide glass 35 and 43, respectively, are deposited by CVD at approximately 630 degrees C from a TEOS and phosphine source. The phosphorus doped glass layer is planarized by a known plasma technique, and contact windows 36 and 37 to selected source and drain contact layers 31 and 32, respectively, are opened by conventional lithography and anisotropic RSE with CHF3 (step 12). In the same processing step contact windows to selected polysilicon interconnection paths (not shown) are also formed. A layer of aluminium 38 is then formed by a conventional deposition technique and patterned to form metal contacts to the selected source and drain regions and polysilicon interconnection paths and to form metal and interconnection paths.The aluminium layer is patterned by conventional lithography and anisotropic etching with RSE in Bl3+C12 (step 13).
Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention uses arsenic for forming the source and drain regions by oxidation of an arsenic doped polysilicon source layer, it is contemplated that other suitable species of impurities as well as other source-iayer materials may be substituted. For example, other donor impurities for silicon, such as phosphorus and antimony, have silicon/silicon-dioxide segregation coefficients which are significantly greater than unity and may therefore be substituted for arsenic for forming N-type source and drain regions in silicon. However, arsenic has the advantages of a relatively high segregation coefficient and a relatively low diffusivity.For the formation of extremely shallow source and drain regions having high surface concentrations, it is advantageous to select an impurity which has the highest segregation coefficient and the lowest diffusivity.
Given a particular species of impurities and a particular source-layer material, the depth and surface concentration of the source and drain regions formed by oxidation of the source layer is a function of the thickness and impurity concentration of the source layer and the rate of oxidation. The conditions of the oxidation, i.e.
temperature and ambient, should be selected to provide an oxidation rate which exceeds the rate at which the impurities diffuse in the silicon body at the oxidation temperature and which provide for complete oxidation of the source layer in a time not longer than that required for the impurity in the source layer to diffuse into the body to form source and drain regions of desired depths. If the device is to be subjected to further heating treatments after oxidation, such as annealing or silicide formation, the extent of further diffusion of the source and drain regions during such heating treatments should be taken into account. Steam is advantageously used rather than other oxidizing ambients for silicon, since a steam ambient provides a faster oxidation rate at a given temperature.
Although the method described provides particular advantages for the formation of IGFETs with extremely shallow source and drain regions, it is also applicable to the formation of IGFETs with deeper source and drain regions by making appropriate changes in the thickness of the source layer and the conditions of oxidation.
If ion implantation is used to dope the source layer, it may be advantageous, from the standpoint of obtaining shallower source and drain regions to implant only a surface portion of the source layer adjacent to the target surface.
During oxidation of such a nonuniformly implanted source layer, the implanted impurity must first diffuse through the unimplanted portion of the source layer before entering the bulk region. Therefore, for a given oxidation rate the use of such a non-uniformly implanted source layer would provide shallower source and drain regions than a uniformly doped source layer.
Although in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the partially completed device is heated in an oxidizing ambient to cause oxidation of the source layer, it is also contemplated that another appropriate reactant may be substituted to cause another reaction that would consume the source layer at a rate exceeding the rate at which the impurity in the source layer diffuses in the body and that would provide a reaction product in which the sourcelayer-materiai/reaction-product segregation coefficient is significantly greater than unity. For example, a polysilicon source layer doped with boron may be heated at an appropriate temperature in the presence of platinum to cause a sintering reaction which consumes the source layer at a rate exceeding the rate at which boron diffuses in silicon.The reaction replaces the polysilicon layer with a layer of platinum silicide, and boron has a platinum-silicide/silicon segregation coefficient which is significantly greater than unity. The platinum may be deposited in a layer over the polysilicon layer or may be sputter deposited simultaneously with the deposition of the polysilicon layer.
It may be desirable to have relatively thin silicide layers overlying the source and drain regions and a relatively thick silicide layer overlying the polysilicon gate. In accordance with the procedure described herein, this can conveniently be achieved in at least two different ways. First, a relatively thick layer of a silicide may be formed on top of the polysilicon layer and then patterned with the polysilicon to form the gate structure. Or, after defining the polysilicon gate, a relatively thick layer of silicide may be selectively formed on the polysilicon gate. In either case, the doped polysilicon may then be deposited and oxidized over the silicidepolysilicon structure. Further processing is then carried out as described in detail above.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing and other modifications and substitutions may be made to the described embodiment without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the source layer may be of a single crystal material, such as an epitaxialty grown material, instead of a polycrystalline material, and the source layer material may be different from that of the body.
