本揭露的實施例是指向一種半導體裝置,其上同時形成有具金屬閘極結構的p型金屬氧化物半導體鰭式場效電晶體(PMOS FinFET)裝置和n型金屬氧化物半導體鰭式場效電晶體(NMOS FinFET)裝置,藉以簡化製作過程。依據能量散佈光譜儀(Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy;EDS)的分析,NMOS FinFET裝置包含n型功函數金屬層。n型功函數金屬層包含有鈦鋁(TiAl)合金,其中Ti對Al的原子比實質介於1至3之間,n型功函數金屬層的二表面含有實質低於10原子百分比(at%)的氧濃度。PMOS FinFET裝置包含有在第二高介電常數介電層上的p型功函數金屬層,p型功函數金屬層包含有氮化鈦(TiN),其中Ti對N的原子比實質介於1:0.9至1:1.1之間,且p型功函數金屬層包含有低於10原子百分比(at%)的氧濃度。氧會引起功函數金屬層的功函數變化,所以較低的氧濃度可導致較好的功函數金屬層品質。因此,本揭露實施例提供具有優良性質的功函數金屬層。 The embodiment disclosed in this disclosure is directed to a semiconductor device on which a p-type metal oxide semiconductor fin field-effect transistor (PMOS FinFET) device with a metal gate structure and an n-type metal oxide semiconductor fin-type field effect transistor are simultaneously formed. (NMOS FinFET) devices to simplify the manufacturing process. According to the analysis by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), the NMOS FinFET device includes an n-type work function metal layer. The n-type work function metal layer includes a titanium aluminum (TiAl) alloy, in which the atomic ratio of Ti to Al is substantially between 1 and 3, and the two surfaces of the n-type work function metal layer contain substantially less than 10 atomic percent (at%). ) Oxygen concentration. The PMOS FinFET device includes a p-type work function metal layer on a second high-k dielectric layer. The p-type work function metal layer includes titanium nitride (TiN), where the atomic ratio of Ti to N is substantially between 1 and 1. : 0.9 to 1: 1.1, and the p-type work function metal layer contains an oxygen concentration of less than 10 atomic percent (at%).

藉由減少偏壓溫度不穩定性(bias-temperature instabiliy,BTI)的閾值電壓偏移及壓力依賴漏電流(stress induced leakage current,SILC), 氟是改善高介電常數/金屬閘極(High-k/Metal Gate,HKMG)堆疊之整體可靠性的候選者。舉例而言,結合氟的高介電材料(例如:氧化鋯,HfO2)應可取代空位中消失的氧,且可導致較穩定的鍵結。須注意的是,從藉由EDS所獲得的元素分析,前述的組成、原子比例及氧與氟的濃度是重要的。除此之外,較高的氟濃度可導致裝置偏移的不利後果,而過低的氟濃度則導致裝置效能具有較少效益。 By reducing the threshold voltage offset of bias-temperature instabiliy (BTI) and stress induced leakage current (SILC), fluorine improves high dielectric constant / metal gate (High- k / Metal Gate, HKMG) candidate for overall reliability. For example, a high-dielectric material (eg, zirconia, HfO 2 ) incorporating fluorine should be able to replace the disappearing oxygen in the vacancies and lead to more stable bonding. It should be noted that from the elemental analysis obtained by EDS, the aforementioned composition, atomic ratio, and concentration of oxygen and fluorine are important. In addition, higher fluorine concentrations can lead to the adverse consequences of device shifting, while too low fluorine concentrations result in less efficient device performance.

From the results of EDS line scanning, it is known that for an n-type work function metal layer 148a containing a TiAl alloy, the atomic ratio of Ti to Al is substantially between 1 and 3. For an n-type work function metal layer 148a containing a TiAl alloy or a tantalum aluminum (TaAl) alloy, both surfaces of the n-type work function metal layer 148a contain an oxygen concentration of less than about 10 atomic percent (at%), and are close to or at The concentration of aluminum atoms on the two surfaces of the n-type work function metal layer 148a is higher than the concentration of aluminum atoms on the other portions of the n-type work function metal layer 148a.

A second TiN layer is deposited on the TaN layer. A TiAl layer is deposited on the second TiN layer. A third TiN layer is deposited on the TiAl layer. A metal-filled layer surrounded by a third TiN layer is deposited by using a fluorine-containing precursor (eg, WF 6 ). Then, for example, by performing a thermal process, the fluorine system diffuses to the stacked structure surrounding the metal filling layer, so that the sidewall of the stacked structure contains a fluorine concentration substantially from 5 atomic percent to 15 atomic percent, and the bottom of the stacked structure contains substantial It is a fluorine concentration from 1 atomic percent to 15 atomic percent. The TiAl layer surrounded by the first gate gap wall is used as the n-type work function metal layer, and the atomic ratio of Ti to Al ranges from 1 to 3. The second TiN layer surrounded by the second gate gap wall is used as the p-type work function metal layer, and its atomic ratio of Ti to N ranges substantially from 1: 0.9 to 1: 1.1.
