Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a method of fabricating a metal oxide semiconductor transistor. [Prior Art] A conventional Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) transistor generally includes a substrate, a source region, a drain region, a channel between the source region and the drain region, and a gate. The pole is located above the channel. Wherein, the gate electrode comprises a gate dielectric layer on the channel, a gate conductive layer on the gate dielectric layer, and a sidewall spacer on the sidewall of the gate conductive layer. In general, the amount of drive current flowing through a channel under a fixed electric field of a MOS transistor is proportional to the carrier mobility in the channel. Therefore, how to increase the carrier mobility to increase the switching speed of the MOS transistor in the existing process equipment has become one of the major issues in the field of semiconductor technology. The epitaxial growth process, for example, the germanium/drain process, is performed by epitaxially forming a germanium germanium epitaxial layer in a semiconductor substrate adjacent to each sidewall after the sidewall spacers are formed. The system utilizes the different lattice constants of the bismuth telluride layer to form a strain strain in the bismuth substrate. Since the lattice constant of the Shixia layer is larger than that of the ,, this changes the band structure of the ,, which causes the carrier mobility to increase, so the switching speed of the MOS transistor can be increased to increase the product. Body circuit performance and speed. 4 201248735 However, it is known that the (four) crystal layer is grown along the (four) surface of the nitrogen-cut sidewalls and adheres to the surface of the sidewall sub-surface when the selective insect crystal growth process is used to form the crystal layer. This growth mode causes stress decay in the channel region of the transistor in most cases, resulting in a so-called on-current Ion degradation phenomenon, which causes the entire device to operate poorly. Therefore, how to improve the current selection of crystal crystals for the growth of square crystals is an important issue. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a method of fabricating a semiconductor transistor to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method of fabricating a semiconductor device is disclosed that includes the following steps. First, a substrate is provided, which is provided with a gate structure. Forming a stacked film on the surface of the substrate and covering the gate structure, and the stacked film has an oxide layer and a nitride layer, and then removing the partially stacked film to form two grooves in the substrate on both sides of the gate structure and simultaneously The sidewalls of the pole structure form a removable sidewall. A layer of material having a facet is then formed in the grooves, and the layer of material comprises germanium atoms. [Embodiment] Please refer to Figs. 1 to 6 and Fig. ith to Fig. 6 are diagrams showing a method of fabricating a semiconductor device, such as a MOS transistor, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, a substrate 10' such as a wafer or a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate or the like is first provided. A gate structure 12 is disposed on the substrate 1 , and a substrate 10 surrounding the active region of the gate structure 12 is surrounded by a shallow trench isolation (STI) 22 . The gate structure 12 includes a gate dielectric layer 14, a gate 16 on the gate dielectric layer 14, and a top protection layer 18 on the top of the gate 16. The gate dielectric layer 14 may be composed of a single insulating material such as a silicon oxide compound or an oxynitride or a high-k dielectric material or any combination of the above materials, and the gate 16 may be replaced by a single or undoped single crystal. Or a polycrystalline stone, a supplemental material, a metal material, a metal, or the like, and the top protective layer 18 is composed of a nitrided or oxidized dielectric material. Then, a sidewall spacer 2G is formed on the sidewall surface of the gate structure 12, and the bias sidewall spacer 20 is formed, for example, by nitrogen cutting, and the gate structure and the bias sidewall spacer 20 are used as masks for the rod-ά 仃Lightly doped ion implantation, the p-type or Ν-type dopant is implanted into the biased sidewalls 2〇 and also from the substrate 10 on both sides of the w , to form a lightly doped on the opposite sides of the gate structure 12 The lightly doped drain (T.rmm ° ' is followed by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in the form of a chemical sputum / chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The stacked film 26 formed by the layer 22 and the nitride layer 24 is formed on the substrate 10, the biased sidewall spacer 20, and the gate structure 12, Table 6 201248735. In the present embodiment, the stacked film 26 is preferably formed by a The precursor of the gas atom, such as hexachlorosilane (HCD), forms the nitride layer 24 in the stack of the most thin film 26, and the thickness of the oxide layer 22 in the completed stacked film 26 is preferably 10 to 50 angstroms, such as 30 angstroms. The thickness of the nitride layer 24 is preferably 60 to 180 angstroms, for example, 120 angstroms. It should be noted that although the embodiment is preferably six The sinter is used as a precursor to form the nitride layer 24 in the stacked film 26, but is not limited thereto, and other gas-free or chlorine-containing precursors such as dichlorosilane may be selected to form the nitride layer 24. This method is also within the scope of the present invention. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, one or more etching processes are performed, for example, by removing the partial oxide layer by dry etching, wet button etching, or both. The nitride layer 24 forms a recess 28 in the substrate 1 两侧 on both sides of the gate structure 12 and simultaneously forms an oxide layer 22 and a remaining II layer 24 on the sidewall of the gate structure 12 The sidewall spacers 30 are removed. It should be noted that in addition to the above-described manner of forming the removable sidewall spacers 30, another embodiment of the present invention may first deposit an oxide layer 22 having a thickness of about 30 to 70 angstroms, such as 50 angstroms. The substrate 10, the biased sidewalls 2〇 and the surface of the gate structure 12, as shown in FIG. 4, are then subjected to a treatment of the deposited oxide layer 22, such as a decoupled plasma nitridation (DPN). a process for forming a nitrogen-containing substance in the oxide layer 22 ( Nitr〇gen_cont;aining substance) 32. Next, a 201248735 layer 24 having a thickness of about 50 to 150 angstroms, such as 1 angstrom, is deposited on the oxide layer 22 having the nitrogen-containing material 32, and subjected to the above dry etching and/or The wet etching process removes the partial oxide layer 22 and the nitride layer 24 to form two recesses 28 in the substrate 10 on both sides of the gate structure 12 and simultaneously form a removable sidewall on the sidewall of the gate structure 12. Sable spacer)34. It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the nitrogen-containing substance 32 is preferably implanted between the oxide layer 22 and the nitride layer 24 by a split-coupled plasma nitridation process, but is not limited thereto, and may be selected in one The oxide layer 22 is subjected to a rapid heat treatment process or a furnace anneal process in a nitrogen-containing environment to produce an oxide layer 22 having the same nitrogen-containing substance 32. This embodiment is also encompassed by the present invention. range. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, a pre-cleaning step is performed to remove the diluted hydrofluoric acid or a cleaning solution containing sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and SPM mixed with deionized water. A native oxide or other impure material on the surface of the recess 28 is filled with a layer of material containing a stone atom in the recess 28 to form a stray layer 36. In the preferred embodiment, the epitaxial layer 36 can be fabricated by a selective growth scheme (SSS) process, such as a selective epitaxial growth (SEG) method. The epitaxial layer 36 may comprise an epitaxial layer of germanium telluride (SiGe) or an epitaxial layer containing germanium carbide (SiC) depending on the characteristics of the transistor. 8 201248735 It is an idea that the selective epitaxial growth process is a rectangular epitaxial layer formed by a side wall formed of tantalum nitride, which is a removable sidewall of the present invention. Preferably, the sub-layer is composed of an L-type oxide layer and a nitride layer disposed thereon, and the L-type oxide layer is adjacent to the source/drain region in a manner of attaching the surface of the substrate, thereby selectively epitaxially growing. When the process forms the epitaxial layer, the crystal layer grown in the groove along the base lattice structure does not grow close to the sidewall of the removable sidewall, and grows with the removable sidewall The sidewalls create a pitch' to form a faceted shape, such as a hexagonal epitaxial layer. It should be noted that this embodiment mainly emphasizes that the portion of the epitaxial layer 36 on the substrate 10 has a facet ', for example, the angle of the insect layer above the substrate 1 较佳 is preferably 15-60 degrees, such as an epitaxial layer (111). The angle between the face and the base (丨〇〇) face is about 54.74 degrees, and the angle between the facet layer (113) face and the base (1 inch) face is about 25.24 degrees. Whether the entire epitaxial layer 36 exhibits a hexagonal shape, for example, the portion of the epitaxial layer 36 under the substrate 10 may have different shapes depending on the conditions of the etching process. Then, as shown in Fig. 6, the removable sidewalls 30 can be selectively removed depending on the process requirements, and only the sidewalls of the gate structure 12 are left behind. Then, a main sidewall 38 is selectively formed around the bias sidewall 20, and an ion implantation process is performed according to process requirements to form a source/drain region in the substrate 1〇 on both sides of the main sidewall 38. 40. Then, a stress memorization technology (SMT) can be selectively performed. For example, the exposed Zeshi material can be amorphized by ion implantation to form a stress transfer structure such as a stress-resistant nitride layer ( The figure is shown in the gate structure 1 2 and the substrate 1 2012 201248735 surface, and then an annealing process is performed and the stress transfer structure is removed, so that the stress memory effect of the gate dielectric layer by the stress transfer structure can be Improve the performance of component ions (I〇n performance). In this embodiment, the stress transfer structure may comprise a stress layer having tensile or compressive stress. As described above, in the manner of forming the epitaxial layer by the selective stress system, if the fabricated transistor is an NMOS transistor, it is possible to form a tensile stress layer on the gate structure and the surface of the substrate. The stress memory process is performed, and if the fabricated transistor is a pM〇s transistor, a stress layer (C〇mpreSSive stress layer) can be formed on the gate structure and the surface of the substrate for stress processing. Since the stress memory process is well known to those skilled in the art, no further details are provided herein. Then, according to the process requirements, a stone metal (sa) jcide process can be carried out. For example, a metal layer (not shown) composed of abundance, titanium, recording, turning, molybdenum, etc. can be deposited or deposited. On the worm layer, the metal layer and the epitaxial layer are reacted by at least one rapid thermal anneal (RTP) process to form a deuterated metal layer (not shown). A contact etch stop layer (CESL) (not shown) and an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer (not shown) are formed. Since the steps of forming the above-mentioned components are also known to those skilled in the art, this is no longer the case. 201248735. The main idea is that although this embodiment selects to remove the removable sidewall sub- 3G before forming the stress-transfer structure, The time when the side wall 30 can be removed is not limited and can be removed prior to forming the contact (four) bribe layer according to the process requirements. This embodiment is also within the scope of the present invention. According to π, the implementation of the material of the present invention is first covered after the secret formation - a stacked film composed of an oxide layer and a nitride layer on the surface of the substrate and the gate structure to enable subsequent selection of the crystal growth (4) In the case of a silk crystal layer, the crystal layer grown in the groove along the base crystal lattice structure does not adhere to the sidewall of the removable sidewall after the contact with the oxide layer, and grows when it grows. Removing the sidewalls of the sidewalls to create a gap, and forming a hexagonal source/no-polar region having a facet (fed field etedshape), and then removing a portion of the stacking film for the substrate on both sides of the gate structure Two recesses are formed and a removable sidewall is formed on the sidewall of the gate structure. 3 The outer &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&<> The plasma nitridation process forms a nitrogen-containing substance in the oxide layer, thereby protecting the oxide layer from subsequent etching processes. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the patent scope of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the present invention. 11 201248735 [Brief Description of the Drawings] Figs. 1 to 6 are schematic views showing a method of fabricating a MOS semiconductor crystal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
