Description

多閘極電晶體元件之製作方法Multi-gate polar crystal element manufacturing method

本發明有關於一種具有多閘極電晶體元件之製作方法。The invention relates to a method for fabricating a multi-gate transistor.

當元件發展至65奈米技術世代後,使用傳統平面式的金氧半導體(metal-oxide-semiconductor,MOS)電晶體製程係難以持續微縮,因此,習知技術係提出以立體或非平面(non-planar)多閘極電晶體元件如鰭式場效電晶體(Fin Field effect transistor,FinFET)元件取代平面電晶體元件之解決途徑。After the component has been developed to the 65 nm technology generation, it is difficult to continue to shrink using a conventional planar metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor process. Therefore, conventional techniques are proposed to be stereo or non-planar (non -planar) A multi-gate transistor component such as a Fin Field effect transistor (FinFET) component replaces a planar transistor component.

請參閱第1圖,第1圖係為一習知FinFET元件之立體示意圖。如第1圖所示,習知FinFET元件100係先利用蝕刻等方式圖案化一矽覆絕緣基板102表面之單晶矽層,以於矽覆絕緣(silicon-on-insulator,SOI)基板102中形成一鰭片狀的矽薄膜(圖未示),並於矽薄膜上形成包覆部分矽薄膜的絕緣層104,而閘極106係包覆絕緣層104與矽薄膜上,最後再藉由離子佈植製程與回火製程等步驟於未被閘極106包覆之鰭片狀的矽薄膜中形成源極/汲極108。由於FinFET元件100的製程能與傳統的邏輯元件製程整合,因此具有相當的製程相容性。此外,當FinFET元件100設置於上述SOI基板102時,傳統隔離技術如淺溝隔離(shallow trench isolation)等係可省卻。更重要的是,由於FinFET元件100的立體結構增加了閘極106與鰭片狀之矽基體的接觸面積,因此可增加閘極106對於通道區域的載子控制,從而降低小尺寸元件面臨的由源極引發的能帶降低(drain induced barrier lowering,DIBL)效應以及短通道效應(short channel effect)。此外,由於FinFET元件100中同樣長度的閘極106具有更大的通道寬度,因此可獲得加倍的汲極驅動電流。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a perspective view of a conventional FinFET device. As shown in FIG. 1 , the conventional FinFET device 100 firstly patterns a single crystal germanium layer on the surface of the insulating substrate 102 by etching or the like for use in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate 102. Forming a fin-shaped germanium film (not shown), and forming an insulating layer 104 covering a portion of the germanium film on the germanium film, and the gate 106 is coated on the insulating layer 104 and the germanium film, and finally by ion The steps of the implantation process and the tempering process form a source/drain 108 in the fin-shaped germanium film not covered by the gate 106. Since the process of the FinFET device 100 can be integrated with a conventional logic device process, it has considerable process compatibility. In addition, when the FinFET element 100 is disposed on the SOI substrate 102 described above, conventional isolation techniques such as shallow trench isolation may be omitted. More importantly, since the three-dimensional structure of the FinFET element 100 increases the contact area of the gate 106 with the fin-shaped germanium substrate, the carrier control of the gate 106 for the channel region can be increased, thereby reducing the size of the small-sized component. The source induced induced drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) effect and the short channel effect. Furthermore, since the gate 106 of the same length in the FinFET element 100 has a larger channel width, a doubled drain drive current can be obtained.

然而,由於FinFET元件100的源極/汲極108係為一細長的結構,因而常有因阻值過大而不利於FinFET元件100電性表現之缺點,此外亦因源極/汲極108過於細長,造成後續形成接觸插塞時對準不易,即有損接觸插塞製程的製程容忍度(process window)。However, since the source/drain 108 of the FinFET device 100 is an elongated structure, it is often disadvantageous because the resistance is too large to facilitate the electrical performance of the FinFET device 100, and the source/drain 108 is too elongated. The alignment is not easy when the contact plug is formed later, that is, the process window of the contact plug process is damaged.

因此,本發明之一目的係在於提供一可解決上述問題之多閘極電晶體元件之製作方法。Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of fabricating a multi-gate transistor device that solves the above problems.

根據本發明所提供之申請專利範圍,係提供一種多閘極電晶體元件之製作方法,該製作方法首先提供一半導體基底,且該半導體基底上形成有一圖案化半導體層、一閘極介電層與一閘極層,且該閘極介電層與該閘極層覆蓋部分該圖案化半導體層。隨後於該半導體基底上形成一複合絕緣層,該複合絕緣層覆蓋該圖案化半導體層與該閘極層,且該複合絕緣層由下而上至少包含一第一絕緣層與一第二絕緣層。接下來,進行一第一蝕刻製程,用以移除部分該複合絕緣層,以於該閘極層周圍形成一第一側壁子,同時於該圖案化半導體層周圍形成一第二側壁子。形成該第一側壁子與該第二側壁子之後,移除該第二側壁子以暴露出部分該第一絕緣層,且該第一絕緣層覆蓋部分該圖案化半導體層,同時移除部分該第一側壁子,以於該閘極層周圍形成一第三側壁子。而在形成該第三側壁子之後,係移除暴露之該第一絕緣層,以暴露出該圖案化半導體層。According to the patent application scope of the present invention, a method for fabricating a multi-gate transistor device is provided. The fabrication method first provides a semiconductor substrate, and a patterned semiconductor layer and a gate dielectric layer are formed on the semiconductor substrate. And a gate layer, and the gate dielectric layer and the gate layer cover a portion of the patterned semiconductor layer. Forming a composite insulating layer over the semiconductor substrate, the composite insulating layer covering the patterned semiconductor layer and the gate layer, and the composite insulating layer includes at least a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer from bottom to top. . Next, a first etching process is performed to remove a portion of the composite insulating layer to form a first sidewall around the gate layer and a second sidewall around the patterned semiconductor layer. After forming the first sidewall and the second sidewall, removing the second sidewall to expose a portion of the first insulating layer, and the first insulating layer covers a portion of the patterned semiconductor layer while removing a portion of the a first sidewall for forming a third sidewall around the gate layer. After forming the third sidewall, the exposed first insulating layer is removed to expose the patterned semiconductor layer.

根據本發明所提供之多閘極電晶體元件之製作方法,係藉由複合絕緣層作為一保護層,因此在移除覆蓋該圖案化半導體層之第二側壁子時,可確保下方之圖案化半導體層不致受損。是以,本發明所提供之多閘極電晶體元件可在不影響圖案化半導體層輪廓之前提下,使圖案化半導體層暴露於半導體基底上,以便增加後續選擇性磊晶成長(selective epitaxial growth,SEG)製程中可供磊晶層成長的面積,最終達到降低FinFET源極/汲極電阻之目的。同時,由於磊晶層成長於暴露出之圖案化半導體層,故可增加了源極/汲極之表面積,更有利於改善後續接觸插塞製程的製程容忍度。According to the method of fabricating the multi-gate transistor of the present invention, the composite insulating layer is used as a protective layer, so that the patterning underneath can be ensured when the second sidewall covering the patterned semiconductor layer is removed. The semiconductor layer is not damaged. Therefore, the multi-gate transistor element provided by the present invention can be lifted before the contour of the patterned semiconductor layer is affected, and the patterned semiconductor layer is exposed on the semiconductor substrate to increase the selective epitaxial growth. , SEG) The area where the epitaxial layer can be grown in the process, and finally achieve the purpose of reducing the source/drain resistance of the FinFET. At the same time, since the epitaxial layer grows on the exposed patterned semiconductor layer, the surface area of the source/drain is increased, which is more advantageous for improving the process tolerance of the subsequent contact plug process.

However, the semiconductor substrate 200 provided by the preferred embodiment may also be a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate.

請繼續參閱第2圖。接下來於半導體基底200上形成一圖案化硬遮罩(圖未示),用以定義至少一多閘極電晶體元件之鰭片部分(fin)。隨後進行一蝕刻製程,用以移除半導體基底200上的部分半導體材料,而於半導體基底200上形成至少一圖案化半導體層206,且圖案化半導體層206係如第2圖所示包含至少一多閘極電晶體元件之鰭片部分。鰭片部分具有一寬度與一高度,而其寬度與高度具有一比例,該比例可為1:1.5~1:2。舉例來說,本較佳實施例中鰭片部分之寬度可為20奈米(nanometer,nm);而其高度可為30nm,但不限於此。Please continue to see Figure 2. Next, a patterned hard mask (not shown) is formed on the semiconductor substrate 200 to define fin portions of at least one multi-gate transistor element. Subsequently, an etching process is performed to remove a portion of the semiconductor material on the semiconductor substrate 200, and at least one patterned semiconductor layer 206 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 200, and the patterned semiconductor layer 206 includes at least one as shown in FIG. The fin portion of the multi-gate transistor component. The fin portion has a width and a height, and the width has a ratio to the height, and the ratio may be 1:1.5 to 1:2. For example, in the preferred embodiment, the width of the fin portion may be 20 nanometers (nm); and the height may be 30 nm, but is not limited thereto.

請仍然參閱第2圖。接下來於半導體基底200上依序形成一介電層(圖未示)、一閘極形成層(圖未示)與一圖案化硬遮罩214。隨後圖案化上述介電層與閘極形成層,而於半導體基底200上形成覆蓋部分圖案化半導體層206的一閘極介電層210與一閘極層212。且圖案化硬遮罩214、閘極層212與閘極介電層210之高度總和約為60nm,但不限於此。另外如第7圖所示,閘極介電層210與閘極層212之延伸方向係與圖案化半導體層206之延伸方向垂直,且閘極介電層210與閘極層212係覆蓋部分圖案化半導體層206的側壁。閘極介電層210可包含習知介電材料如氧化矽(SiO)、氮化矽(SiN)、氮氧化矽(SiON)等介電材料。而在本較佳實施例中,閘極介電層210更可包含高介電常數(high-k)材料,例如氧化鉿(HfO)、矽酸鉿(HfSiO)或鋁、鋯、鑭等金屬的金屬氧化物或金屬矽酸鹽(metal silicates)等,但不限於此。另外,當本較佳實施例之閘極介電層210採用high-k材料時,本發明可與金屬閘極(metal gate)製程整合,以提供足以匹配high-k閘極介電層的控制電極。據此,閘極層212則可配合金屬閘極的前閘極(gate-first)製程或後閘極(gate-last)製程採用不同的材料。另外,圖案化硬遮罩214則可包含氮化矽,但不限於此。Please still refer to Figure 2. Next, a dielectric layer (not shown), a gate forming layer (not shown), and a patterned hard mask 214 are sequentially formed on the semiconductor substrate 200. Subsequently, the dielectric layer and the gate forming layer are patterned, and a gate dielectric layer 210 and a gate layer 212 covering a portion of the patterned semiconductor layer 206 are formed on the semiconductor substrate 200. The sum of the height of the patterned hard mask 214, the gate layer 212 and the gate dielectric layer 210 is about 60 nm, but is not limited thereto. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the gate dielectric layer 210 and the gate layer 212 extend in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the patterned semiconductor layer 206, and the gate dielectric layer 210 and the gate layer 212 cover a partial pattern. The sidewalls of the semiconductor layer 206 are formed. The gate dielectric layer 210 may comprise a dielectric material such as cerium oxide (SiO), cerium nitride (SiN), cerium oxynitride (SiON) or the like. In the preferred embodiment, the gate dielectric layer 210 may further comprise a high-k material such as hafnium oxide (HfO), hafnium niobate (HfSiO) or a metal such as aluminum, zirconium or hafnium. Metal oxides or metal silicates, etc., but are not limited thereto. In addition, when the gate dielectric layer 210 of the preferred embodiment uses a high-k material, the present invention can be integrated with a metal gate process to provide sufficient control for matching the high-k gate dielectric layer. electrode. Accordingly, the gate layer 212 can be made of a different material depending on the gate-first process or the gate-last process of the metal gate. In addition, the patterned hard mask 214 may include tantalum nitride, but is not limited thereto.

此外,在完成閘極介電層210與閘極層212之製作後,本較佳實施例係可依需要利用斜角離子佈植等方式於圖案化半導體層206內形成一源極/汲極延伸區域(source/drain extension region)(圖未示)。In addition, after the fabrication of the gate dielectric layer 210 and the gate layer 212 is completed, the preferred embodiment can form a source/drain in the patterned semiconductor layer 206 by using oblique ion implantation or the like as needed. Source/drain extension region (not shown).

如第2圖所示,在完成源極/汲極延伸區域的製作之後,本較佳實施例係於半導體基底200上形成一複合絕緣層220,且複合絕緣層220係覆蓋圖案化半導體層206、圖案化硬遮罩214與閘極層212。在本較佳實施例中,複合絕緣層220係為一雙層(bi-layered)結構,而此雙層結構係如第2圖所示,由下而上依序包含一第一絕緣層222與一第二絕緣層224。第一絕緣層222之蝕刻率不同於第二絕緣層224之蝕刻率。舉例來說,第一絕緣層222可包含一氮化矽層;而第二絕緣層224則包含一氧化矽層。此外,本較佳實施例之第一絕緣層222較佳為一利用原子層沈積(atomic layer deposition,ALD)方法形成之具有均勻覆蓋性的共形(conformal)氮化矽膜層,其厚度約為50nm~100nm。第二絕緣層224則可為一利用化學氣相沈積(chemical vapor deposition,CVD)方法形成的氧化矽膜層,其厚度約為200nm~300nm。As shown in FIG. 2, after the fabrication of the source/drain extension regions is completed, the preferred embodiment forms a composite insulating layer 220 on the semiconductor substrate 200, and the composite insulating layer 220 covers the patterned semiconductor layer 206. The hard mask 214 and the gate layer 212 are patterned. In the preferred embodiment, the composite insulating layer 220 is a bi-layered structure, and the two-layer structure includes a first insulating layer 222 sequentially from bottom to top as shown in FIG. And a second insulating layer 224. The etching rate of the first insulating layer 222 is different from the etching rate of the second insulating layer 224. For example, the first insulating layer 222 may include a tantalum nitride layer; and the second insulating layer 224 includes a tantalum oxide layer. In addition, the first insulating layer 222 of the preferred embodiment is preferably a conformal tantalum nitride film layer having uniform coverage formed by an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method, and the thickness thereof is about It is 50 nm to 100 nm. The second insulating layer 224 may be a ruthenium oxide film layer formed by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, and has a thickness of about 200 nm to 300 nm.

請參閱第3圖。接下來移除部分複合絕緣層220,例如利用一非等向性(anisotropic)之乾蝕刻(dry etching)方法蝕刻第二絕緣層224,以於圖案化硬遮罩214與閘極層212周圍形成一第一側壁子230,同時於圖案化半導體層206周圍形成一第二側壁子232。需注意的是,由於圖案化硬遮罩214、閘極層212與閘極介電層210之高度總和約為圖案化半導體層206的一倍,因此根據乾蝕刻方法的蝕刻特性,圖案化半導體層206周圍的第二側壁子232在形成時即自動地小於第一側壁子230。如第3圖所示,第一側壁子230之寬度a永遠大於第二側壁子232之寬度b。此外,在形成第一側壁子230與第二側壁子232時,係同時暴露出部分複合絕緣層220,即暴露出部分第一絕緣層222。Please refer to Figure 3. Next, a portion of the composite insulating layer 220 is removed, for example, by an anisotropic dry etching method to etch the second insulating layer 224 to form a surrounding of the patterned hard mask 214 and the gate layer 212. A first sidewall 230 is formed, and a second sidewall 232 is formed around the patterned semiconductor layer 206. It should be noted that since the sum of the height of the patterned hard mask 214, the gate layer 212 and the gate dielectric layer 210 is about double that of the patterned semiconductor layer 206, the patterned semiconductor is etched according to the etching characteristics of the dry etching method. The second sidewall sub-232 around layer 206 is automatically smaller than the first sidewall sub-230 when formed. As shown in FIG. 3, the width a of the first side wall sub-230 is always greater than the width b of the second side wall sub-232. In addition, when the first sidewall spacer 230 and the second sidewall spacer 232 are formed, a portion of the composite insulating layer 220 is simultaneously exposed, that is, a portion of the first insulating layer 222 is exposed.

請參閱第4圖。接下來,可利用一等向性(isotropic)之濕蝕刻(wet etching)方法,例如利用稀釋氫氟酸(dilute hydrogen fluoride,DHF)移除第二側壁子232以暴露出部分複合絕緣層220,即暴露第一絕緣層222。此外,濕蝕刻方法更同時移除部分第一側壁子230,以於圖案化硬遮罩214與閘極層212周圍形成一第三側壁子234,且第三側壁子234係小於第一側壁子230。值得注意的是,在進行濕蝕刻方法移除第二側壁子232時,第一絕緣層222仍覆蓋圖案化半導體層206、圖案化硬遮罩214與閘極層212,因此圖案化半導體層206與閘極層212係由第一絕緣層222所覆蓋且保護,而可避免在濕蝕刻方法中受到任何影響。Please refer to Figure 4. Next, an isotropic wet etching method, for example, using dilute hydrogen fluoride (DHF) to remove the second sidewall spacer 232 to expose a portion of the composite insulating layer 220, That is, the first insulating layer 222 is exposed. In addition, the wet etching method removes a portion of the first sidewalls 230 at the same time to form a third sidewall 234 around the patterned hard mask 214 and the gate layer 212, and the third sidewall 234 is smaller than the first sidewall. 230. It should be noted that when the second sidewall spacer 232 is removed by the wet etching method, the first insulating layer 222 still covers the patterned semiconductor layer 206, the patterned hard mask 214 and the gate layer 212, thus patterning the semiconductor layer 206. The gate layer 212 is covered and protected by the first insulating layer 222, and any influence in the wet etching method can be avoided.

請參閱第5圖。接下來,可利用另一等向性之濕蝕刻方法,例如利用熱磷酸(hot phosphoric acid)移除暴露出之複合絕緣層220,即移除暴露出第一絕緣層222,以暴露出圖案化半導體層206,並使第三側壁子234包含第一絕緣層222與第二絕緣層224。需注意的是,由於對蝕刻率的不同,在移除第一絕緣層222時,並不會影響第三側壁子234的輪廓。另外,由於第一絕緣層222係為一較薄的共形膜層,因此可在不影響圖案化半導體層206的前提下輕易地移除。最後,當第一絕緣層222與圖案化硬遮罩214包含相同材料(例如:氮化矽)時,部分的圖案化硬遮罩214係可於本道濕蝕刻方法中移除,因而降低了圖案化硬遮罩214與閘極層212的總和高度。Please refer to Figure 5. Next, another isotropic wet etching method can be utilized, such as removing the exposed composite insulating layer 220 with hot phosphoric acid, ie removing the exposed first insulating layer 222 to expose the patterning. The semiconductor layer 206 is such that the third sidewall 234 includes a first insulating layer 222 and a second insulating layer 224. It should be noted that the outline of the third sidewall sub-234 is not affected when the first insulating layer 222 is removed due to the difference in etching rate. In addition, since the first insulating layer 222 is a thin conformal film layer, it can be easily removed without affecting the patterned semiconductor layer 206. Finally, when the first insulating layer 222 and the patterned hard mask 214 comprise the same material (for example, tantalum nitride), part of the patterned hard mask 214 can be removed in the wet etching method, thereby reducing the pattern. The sum total height of the hard mask 214 and the gate layer 212.

請參閱第6圖。在形成移除第一絕緣層222而暴露出圖案化半導體層206之後,可進行一選擇性磊晶成長(selective epitaxial growth,SEG)製程,於圖案化半導體層206表面形成一磊晶層208。另外在SEG製程中係可依據多閘極電晶體元件的導電型式加入晶格常數不同於圖案化半導體層206之晶格常數的材料,同時更可於SEG製程之中、之前、或之後加入具有導電型式的摻雜質(dopant),至此可完成多閘極電晶體元件之源極/汲極之製作,也同時完成本較佳實施例所提供之多閘極電晶體元件240之製作。Please refer to Figure 6. After the first insulating layer 222 is removed to expose the patterned semiconductor layer 206, a selective epitaxial growth (SEG) process may be performed to form an epitaxial layer 208 on the surface of the patterned semiconductor layer 206. In addition, in the SEG process, a material having a lattice constant different from the lattice constant of the patterned semiconductor layer 206 may be added according to the conductivity type of the multi-gate transistor element, and may be added during, before, or after the SEG process. The conductive type dopant can be used to complete the fabrication of the source/drain of the multi-gate transistor element, and at the same time, the fabrication of the multi-gate transistor element 240 provided by the preferred embodiment.

根據本較佳實施例所提供之多閘極電晶體元件之製作方法,係可藉由蝕刻率的不同,在製作所需側壁子時,可藉由第一絕緣層222作為一保護層,以保護圖案化半導體層206的輪廓。隨後更在不影響圖案化半導體層206輪廓的前提下移除第一絕緣層222,使圖案化半導體層206的側壁以及頂部皆暴露出來。換句話說,本較佳實施例係可增加圖案化半導體層206的暴露面積。由於SEG製程中,磊晶層208僅會沿矽材料表面成長,因此本較佳實施例中可藉由增加圖案化半導體層206的暴露面積,更增加磊晶層208的成長場所。因此SEG製程後,圖案化半導體層206的頂部及側壁都因磊晶層208的存在而增大,即源極/汲極被增大,故可達到降低多閘極電晶體元件240源極/汲極處電阻之目的。同時,亦因磊晶層208成長於暴露出之圖案化半導體層206表面,而增加了源極/汲極之表面積,更有利於改善後續接觸插塞製程的製程容忍度。According to the method for fabricating the multi-gate transistor of the preferred embodiment, the first insulating layer 222 can be used as a protective layer when the desired sidewall is fabricated by using different etching rates. The outline of the patterned semiconductor layer 206 is protected. Subsequently, the first insulating layer 222 is removed without affecting the outline of the patterned semiconductor layer 206, so that the sidewalls and the top of the patterned semiconductor layer 206 are exposed. In other words, the preferred embodiment can increase the exposed area of the patterned semiconductor layer 206. In the SEG process, the epitaxial layer 208 only grows along the surface of the germanium material. Therefore, in the preferred embodiment, the exposed area of the patterned semiconductor layer 206 can be increased to further increase the growth place of the epitaxial layer 208. Therefore, after the SEG process, the top and sidewalls of the patterned semiconductor layer 206 are increased by the presence of the epitaxial layer 208, that is, the source/drain is increased, so that the source of the multi-gate transistor element 240 can be reduced. The purpose of the resistance at the bungee. At the same time, because the epitaxial layer 208 grows on the surface of the exposed patterned semiconductor layer 206, the surface area of the source/drain is increased, which is more favorable for improving the process tolerance of the subsequent contact plug process.

As described, it will not be repeated here. As shown in FIG. 8, the preferred embodiment first provides a semiconductor substrate 200, such as a bulk substrate having a plurality of STIs 204.

請繼續參閱第8圖。接下來於半導體基底200上形成一圖案化硬遮罩(圖未示),隨後進行一蝕刻製程,用以移除半導體基底200上的部分半導體材料,而於半導體基底200上形成至少一圖案化半導體層206,圖案化半導體層206係如第8圖所示包含至少一多閘極電晶體元件之鰭片部分。鰭片部分具有一寬度與一高度,而其寬度與高度具有一比例,該比例可為1:1.5~1:2。Please continue to see Figure 8. Next, a patterned hard mask (not shown) is formed on the semiconductor substrate 200, followed by an etching process for removing a portion of the semiconductor material on the semiconductor substrate 200 to form at least one pattern on the semiconductor substrate 200. The semiconductor layer 206, the patterned semiconductor layer 206 is a fin portion including at least one multi-gate transistor element as shown in FIG. The fin portion has a width and a height, and the width has a ratio to the height, and the ratio may be 1:1.5 to 1:2.

請仍然參閱第8圖。接下來依據前述實施例所述之步驟,於半導體基底200上形成一覆蓋部分圖案化半導體層206的一閘極介電層210與一閘極層212。另外可參考第7圖所示,閘極介電層210與閘極層212之延伸方向係與圖案化半導體層206之延伸方向垂直,且閘極介電層210與閘極層212係覆蓋部分圖案化半導體層206的側壁。此外,在完成閘極介電層210與閘極層212之製作後,本較佳實施例係於圖案化半導體層206內形成一源極/汲極延伸區域(圖未示)。Please still refer to Figure 8. Next, a gate dielectric layer 210 and a gate layer 212 covering a portion of the patterned semiconductor layer 206 are formed on the semiconductor substrate 200 in accordance with the steps described in the foregoing embodiments. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the gate dielectric layer 210 and the gate layer 212 extend in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the patterned semiconductor layer 206, and the gate dielectric layer 210 and the gate layer 212 cover the portion. The sidewalls of the semiconductor layer 206 are patterned. In addition, after the fabrication of the gate dielectric layer 210 and the gate layer 212 is completed, the preferred embodiment forms a source/drain extension region (not shown) in the patterned semiconductor layer 206.

如第8圖所示,在完成源極/汲極延伸區域的製作之後,本較佳實施例係於半導體基底200上形成一複合絕緣層320,且複合絕緣層320係覆蓋圖案化半導體層206、圖案化硬遮罩214與閘極層212。於第一較佳實施例不同的是,本較佳實施例中複合絕緣層320係為一三層(tri-layered)結構,以及在第一絕緣層322與第二絕緣層3224之間更設置一第三絕緣層326。第一絕緣層322與第二絕緣層324之蝕刻率不同於第三絕緣層326之蝕刻率,此外第一絕緣層322與第二絕緣層324之蝕刻率亦可不同。舉例來說,第一絕緣層322可包含一氮化矽層、第三絕緣層326包含一氧化矽層、第二絕緣層324則可包含一氮化矽層,且較佳為一碳摻雜(carbon-doped)氮化矽層。此外,本較佳實施例之第一絕緣層322與第三絕緣層326較佳為一利用原子層沈積方法形成之具有均勻覆蓋性的共形膜層,其厚度總和約為不大於100nm,第二絕緣層324則可為一利用化學氣相沈積方法形成的氮化矽膜層,其厚度約為200nm~300nm。由此可知本較佳實施例所提供之複合絕緣層320係為一包含氮化矽-氧化矽-氮化矽的NON結構層。然而,複合絕緣層320亦可為一包含氧化矽-氮化矽-氧化矽的ONO結構層。As shown in FIG. 8, after the fabrication of the source/drain extension regions is completed, the preferred embodiment forms a composite insulating layer 320 on the semiconductor substrate 200, and the composite insulating layer 320 covers the patterned semiconductor layer 206. The hard mask 214 and the gate layer 212 are patterned. The difference in the first preferred embodiment is that the composite insulating layer 320 is a tri-layered structure in the preferred embodiment, and is further disposed between the first insulating layer 322 and the second insulating layer 3224. A third insulating layer 326. The etching rate of the first insulating layer 322 and the second insulating layer 324 is different from the etching rate of the third insulating layer 326, and the etching rates of the first insulating layer 322 and the second insulating layer 324 may also be different. For example, the first insulating layer 322 may include a tantalum nitride layer, the third insulating layer 326 includes a tantalum oxide layer, and the second insulating layer 324 may include a tantalum nitride layer, and is preferably doped with a carbon. (carbon-doped) tantalum nitride layer. In addition, the first insulating layer 322 and the third insulating layer 326 of the preferred embodiment are preferably a conformal film layer having uniform coverage formed by an atomic layer deposition method, and the total thickness thereof is about not more than 100 nm. The second insulating layer 324 may be a tantalum nitride film layer formed by a chemical vapor deposition method, and has a thickness of about 200 nm to 300 nm. It can be seen that the composite insulating layer 320 provided by the preferred embodiment is a NON structural layer comprising tantalum nitride-yttria-yttrium nitride. However, the composite insulating layer 320 may also be an ONO structural layer comprising hafnium oxide-tantalum nitride-yttria.

請參閱第9圖。移除部分複合絕緣層320,例如利用一非等向性之乾蝕刻方法蝕刻第二絕緣層324,以於圖案化硬遮罩214與閘極層212周圍形成一第一側壁子330,同時於圖案化半導體層206周圍形成一第二側壁子332。如前所述,由於圖案化硬遮罩214、閘極層212與閘極介電層210之高度總和約為圖案化半導體層206的一倍,因此根據乾蝕刻方法的蝕刻特性,圖案化半導體層206周圍的第二側壁子332在形成時即自動地小於第一側壁子330。如第9圖所示,第一側壁子330之寬度a永遠大於第二側壁子332之寬度b。此外,在形成第一側壁子330與第二側壁子332時,係同時暴露出部分複合絕緣層320,即暴露出部分第三絕緣層326。Please refer to Figure 9. Removing a portion of the composite insulating layer 320, for example, etching the second insulating layer 324 by an anisotropic dry etching method to form a first sidewall spacer 330 around the patterned hard mask 214 and the gate layer 212. A second sidewall 332 is formed around the patterned semiconductor layer 206. As described above, since the sum of the height of the patterned hard mask 214, the gate layer 212, and the gate dielectric layer 210 is approximately double that of the patterned semiconductor layer 206, the patterned semiconductor is etched according to the etching characteristics of the dry etching method. The second sidewall sub-332 around the layer 206 is automatically smaller than the first sidewall sub-330 when formed. As shown in FIG. 9, the width a of the first side wall sub-330 is always greater than the width b of the second side wall sub-332. In addition, when the first sidewall spacer 330 and the second sidewall spacer 332 are formed, a portion of the composite insulating layer 320 is simultaneously exposed, that is, a portion of the third insulating layer 326 is exposed.

請參閱第10圖。接下來,可利用一等向性之濕蝕刻方法,移除第二側壁子332以暴露出部分複合絕緣層320,即暴露複合絕緣層320的第三絕緣層326。此外,濕蝕刻方法更同時移除部分第一側壁子330,以於圖案化硬遮罩214與閘極層212周圍形成一第三側壁子334,且第三側壁子334係小於第一側壁子330。值得注意的是,在進行濕蝕刻方法移除第二側壁子332時,第三絕緣層326與第一絕緣層322仍覆蓋圖案化半導體層206、圖案化硬遮罩214與閘極層212,因此圖案化半導體層206與閘極層212係由第三絕緣層326與第一絕緣層322所覆蓋且保護,而可避免在濕蝕刻方法中受到任何影響。Please refer to Figure 10. Next, the second sidewall spacer 332 may be removed by an isotropic wet etching method to expose a portion of the composite insulating layer 320, that is, the third insulating layer 326 exposing the composite insulating layer 320. In addition, the wet etching method removes a portion of the first sidewalls 330 at the same time to form a third sidewall 334 around the patterned hard mask 214 and the gate layer 212, and the third sidewall 334 is smaller than the first sidewall. 330. It is noted that the third insulating layer 326 and the first insulating layer 322 still cover the patterned semiconductor layer 206, the patterned hard mask 214 and the gate layer 212 when the second sidewall 332 is removed by the wet etching method. Therefore, the patterned semiconductor layer 206 and the gate layer 212 are covered and protected by the third insulating layer 326 and the first insulating layer 322, and any influence in the wet etching method can be avoided.

請參閱第11圖。接下來,可利用另一等向性之濕蝕刻方法移除暴露出之複合絕緣層320,即移除暴露出第三絕緣層326,以暴露出第一絕緣層322,且第一絕緣層322仍然覆蓋部分圖案化半導體層206與部分圖案化硬遮罩214。由於蝕刻率的不同,在移除第二絕緣層324時,並不會影響第三側壁子334的輪廓。Please refer to Figure 11. Next, the exposed composite insulating layer 320 may be removed by another isotropic wet etching method, that is, the third insulating layer 326 is removed to expose the first insulating layer 322, and the first insulating layer 322 is exposed. The partially patterned semiconductor layer 206 and the partially patterned hard mask 214 are still covered. Due to the difference in etching rate, the outline of the third sidewall sub-334 is not affected when the second insulating layer 324 is removed.

請參閱第12圖。隨後,再利用另一等向性之濕蝕刻方法移除暴露出之第一絕緣層322,以暴露出圖案化半導體層206,並使第三側壁子334包含第一絕緣層322、第三絕緣層326與第二絕緣層324。需注意的是,由於第一絕緣層322係為一較薄的共形膜層,且其蝕刻率可與第三絕緣層326不同,因此在移除第一絕緣層322時,對第三側壁子324輪廓的影響可降至最低。另外,亦由於第一絕緣層322係為一較薄的共形膜層,因此可在不影響圖案化半導體層206的前提下輕易地移除。最後,當第一絕緣層322與圖案化硬遮罩214包含相同材料(例如:氮化矽)時,部分的圖案化硬遮罩214係可於本道濕蝕刻方法中移除,因而降低了圖案化硬遮罩214與閘極層212的總和高度。Please refer to Figure 12. Subsequently, the exposed first insulating layer 322 is removed by another isotropic wet etching method to expose the patterned semiconductor layer 206, and the third sidewall 334 includes the first insulating layer 322 and the third insulating layer. Layer 326 and second insulating layer 324. It should be noted that since the first insulating layer 322 is a thin conformal film layer and the etching rate thereof is different from the third insulating layer 326, when the first insulating layer 322 is removed, the third sidewall is removed. The effect of sub-324 contours can be minimized. In addition, since the first insulating layer 322 is a thin conformal film layer, it can be easily removed without affecting the patterned semiconductor layer 206. Finally, when the first insulating layer 322 and the patterned hard mask 214 comprise the same material (for example, tantalum nitride), part of the patterned hard mask 214 can be removed in the wet etching method, thereby reducing the pattern. The sum total height of the hard mask 214 and the gate layer 212.

在形成移除第一絕緣層322而暴露出圖案化半導體層206之後,可如第一較佳實施例所述進行一選擇性磊晶成長製程,於圖案化半導體層206表面形成一磊晶層(示於第7圖)208。另外在SEG製程中係可依據多閘極電晶體元件的導電型式加入晶格常數不同於圖案化半導體層206之晶格常數的材料,同時更於SEG製程之中、之前、或之後加入具有導電型式的摻雜質,至此可完成多閘極電晶體元件之源極/汲極之製作,也同時完成本較佳實施例所提供之多閘極電晶體元件240之製作。After the first insulating layer 322 is removed to expose the patterned semiconductor layer 206, a selective epitaxial growth process can be performed as described in the first preferred embodiment to form an epitaxial layer on the surface of the patterned semiconductor layer 206. (shown in Figure 7) 208. In addition, in the SEG process, a material having a lattice constant different from the lattice constant of the patterned semiconductor layer 206 may be added according to the conductivity type of the multi-gate transistor element, and at the same time, the conductive is added during, before, or after the SEG process. The doping of the type can complete the fabrication of the source/drain of the multi-gate transistor element, and at the same time complete the fabrication of the multi-gate transistor element 240 provided by the preferred embodiment.

根據本較佳實施例所提供之多閘極電晶體元件之製作方法,係可藉由蝕刻率的不同,在製作所需側壁子時,可藉由第一絕緣層322與第三絕緣層326作為一保護層,以保護圖案化半導體層206的輪廓。此外,若是保護層的厚度較低,在移除複合絕緣層時可能發生膜層底部被向內蝕刻,而造成側壁子甚至是閘極層212的損傷。因此,本較佳實施例更提供多層絕緣層,例如利用蝕刻率不同的第一絕緣層322與第三絕緣層326降低前述底部向內蝕刻的情形發生。最後,更在不影響圖案化半導體層206輪廓的前提下移除第一絕緣層322,使圖案化半導體層206的側壁以及頂部皆暴露出來。換句話說,本較佳實施例亦可增加圖案化半導體層206的暴露面積,進而增加後續SEG製程中磊晶層208的成長場所。因此SEG製程後,圖案化半導體層206的頂部及側壁都因磊晶層208的存在而增大,即源極/汲極被增大,故可達到降低FinFET源極/汲極之電阻以及改善後續接觸插塞製程的製程容忍度之目的。The method for fabricating the multi-gate transistor according to the preferred embodiment can be performed by the first insulating layer 322 and the third insulating layer 326 when the desired sidewalls are formed by different etching rates. As a protective layer, the outline of the semiconductor layer 206 is patterned. In addition, if the thickness of the protective layer is low, the bottom of the film layer may be etched inwardly when the composite insulating layer is removed, causing damage to the sidewalls or even the gate layer 212. Therefore, the preferred embodiment further provides a plurality of insulating layers, for example, by using the first insulating layer 322 and the third insulating layer 326 having different etching rates to reduce the inward etching of the bottom portion. Finally, the first insulating layer 322 is removed without affecting the outline of the patterned semiconductor layer 206, so that the sidewalls and the top of the patterned semiconductor layer 206 are exposed. In other words, the preferred embodiment can also increase the exposed area of the patterned semiconductor layer 206, thereby increasing the growth of the epitaxial layer 208 in the subsequent SEG process. Therefore, after the SEG process, the top and sidewalls of the patterned semiconductor layer 206 are increased by the presence of the epitaxial layer 208, that is, the source/drain is increased, so that the resistance of the source/drain of the FinFET can be reduced and improved. Subsequent contact tolerance process for process tolerance.

另外,本發明所提供之多閘極電晶體元件之製作方法,係可用以製作如第7圖所示之三閘極(tri-gate)電晶體元件,但亦可用以製作雙閘極(double-gate)電晶體元件。In addition, the method for fabricating the multi-gate transistor component provided by the present invention can be used to fabricate a tri-gate transistor component as shown in FIG. 7, but can also be used to fabricate a double gate (double). -gate) transistor component.

綜上所述,根據本發明所提供之多閘極電晶體元件之製作方法,係藉由複合絕緣層作為一保護層,因此在移除覆蓋該圖案化半導體之側壁子時,可確保下方之圖案化半導體層不致受損。是以,本發明所提供之多閘極電晶體元件可在不影響圖案化半導體輪廓之前提下,使圖案化半導體層暴露於半導體基底上,以便增加後續選擇性磊晶成長製程中可供磊晶層成長的面積,最終達到降低FinFET源極/汲極電阻之目的。同時,亦因磊晶層成長於暴露出之圖案化半導體層,故可增加源極/汲極之表面積,更有利於改善後續接觸插塞製程的製程容忍度。In summary, the multi-gate transistor device according to the present invention is fabricated by using a composite insulating layer as a protective layer, thereby ensuring the underside when removing the sidewall covering the patterned semiconductor. The patterned semiconductor layer is not damaged. Therefore, the multi-gate transistor component provided by the present invention can be removed before the patterned semiconductor profile is affected, and the patterned semiconductor layer is exposed on the semiconductor substrate to increase the subsequent selective epitaxial growth process. The area in which the crystal layer grows eventually reaches the goal of reducing the source/drain resistance of the FinFET. At the same time, since the epitaxial layer grows on the exposed patterned semiconductor layer, the surface area of the source/drain can be increased, which is more favorable for improving the process tolerance of the subsequent contact plug process.

以上所述僅為本發明之較佳實施例,凡依本發明申請專利範圍所做之均等變化與修飾,皆應屬本發明之涵蓋範圍。The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of the present invention.
