Description
本發明是有關於一種半導體元件及其製造方法,且特別是有關於一種電晶體結構及其製造方法。The present invention relates to a semiconductor element and its manufacturing method, and more particularly to a transistor structure and its manufacturing method.
金屬氧化物半導體(metal oxide semiconductor,MOS)元件可分為對稱(symmetry)元件與不對稱(asymmetry)元件,所謂的對稱元件就是汲極與源極可以對調使用且特性完全一樣。另一方面,不對稱元件就是汲極與源極對調使用後的特性完全不一樣。如果沒特別規定,一般都是使用對稱元件。在對稱元件的布局設計中,汲極、源極與接觸窗到閘極的距離都要一樣,否則特性會有所不同。Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices can be divided into symmetrical (symmetry) devices and asymmetrical (asymmetry) devices. The so-called symmetrical device means that the drain and source can be reversed and have exactly the same characteristics. On the other hand, an asymmetric element means that the characteristics of the drain and source are completely different after they are used. If there are no special regulations, symmetrical components are generally used. In the layout design of symmetrical components, the distance from the drain, source, and contact window to the gate must be the same, otherwise the characteristics will be different.
目前,在一些電晶體元件的布局設計中,汲極接觸窗(drain contact)到閘極的距離與源極接觸窗(source contact)到閘極的距離必須相同。然而,用於形成上述接觸窗的微影製程常會產生重疊偏移(overlay shift)的問題,因此很難讓這些距離完全相等。在此情況下,將會使得電晶體元件之間的汲極飽和電流(Idsat)產生不匹配(mismatch)的問題,而降低電晶體元件的電性表現。At present, in the layout design of some transistor devices, the distance from the drain contact to the gate must be the same as the distance from the source contact to the gate. However, the lithography process used to form the above-mentioned contact window often has the problem of overlay shift, so it is difficult to make these distances completely equal. In this case, the drain saturation current (Idsat) between the transistor elements will be mismatched, and the electrical performance of the transistor elements will be reduced.
本發明提供一種電晶體結構及其製造方法,其可有效地提升電晶體元件的電性表現。The present invention provides a transistor structure and a manufacturing method thereof, which can effectively improve the electrical performance of the transistor element.

本發明提出一種電晶體結構的製造方法,包括以下步驟。提供基底。在基底上形成閘極。閘極被多個狹縫分成多個閘極部。在狹縫中形成間隙壁。間隙壁分別位於閘極部的側壁上。在閘極上形成介電層。介電層填入狹縫且覆蓋間隙壁。對介電層進行圖案化製程,以移除狹縫中的介電層,且在介電層中形成多個第一開口。每個第一開口跨越所對應的狹縫。形成多個第一接觸窗。每個第一接觸窗填入所對應的第一開口與狹縫。The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a transistor structure, which includes the following steps. Provide a base. A gate is formed on the substrate. The gate is divided into a plurality of gate portions by a plurality of slits. A gap wall is formed in the slit. The gap walls are respectively located on the side walls of the gate portion. A dielectric layer is formed on the gate electrode. The dielectric layer fills the slit and covers the gap wall. A patterning process is performed on the dielectric layer to remove the dielectric layer in the slit, and a plurality of first openings are formed in the dielectric layer. Each first opening spans the corresponding slit. A plurality of first contact windows are formed. Each first contact window is filled with the corresponding first opening and slit.
依照本發明的一實施例所述,在上述電晶體結構的製造方法中,更可包括以下步驟。分別在狹縫內由間隙壁所暴露出的基底中形成摻雜區。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the manufacturing method of the above-mentioned transistor structure may further include the following steps.

依照本發明的一實施例所述,在上述電晶體結構的製造方法中,更可包括以下步驟。在形成閘極之前,在基底上形成閘介電材料層。在對介電層進行圖案化製程之後,移除狹縫中由間隙壁所暴露出的部分閘介電材料層,而形成閘介電層。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the manufacturing method of the above-mentioned transistor structure may further include the following steps. Before forming the gate, a gate dielectric material layer is formed on the substrate. After performing a patterning process on the dielectric layer, part of the gate dielectric material layer exposed by the spacer in the slit is removed to form a gate dielectric layer.
依照本發明的一實施例所述,在上述電晶體結構的製造方法中,更可包括以下步驟。在形成第一接觸窗之後,在介電層中形成暴露出閘極的第二開口。在第二開口中形成電性連接至閘極的第二接觸窗。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the manufacturing method of the above-mentioned transistor structure may further include the following steps. After forming the first contact window, a second opening exposing the gate is formed in the dielectric layer. A second contact window electrically connected to the gate is formed in the second opening.
基於上述,在本發明所提出的電晶體結構及其製造方法中,由於閘極被多個狹縫分成多個閘極部,且接觸窗是藉由狹縫中的間隙壁進行自行對準而形成的自行對準接觸窗(self-aligned contact,SAC),因此可藉由狹縫中的間隙壁來固定閘極部兩側的接觸窗與閘極部之間的距離。藉此,可防止電晶體元件之間的汲極飽和電流(Idsat)產生不匹配(mismatch)的問題,進而提升電晶體元件的電性表現。舉例來說,在閘極部兩側的接觸窗與閘極部之間的距離需要相等的情況下,可以避免受到微影製程的重疊偏移的影響,而使得閘極部兩側的接觸窗與閘極部之間的距離相等。此外,可藉由狹縫及/或間隙壁來固定形成在基底中的摻雜區(如,源極區、汲極區或輕摻雜汲極(lightly doped drain,LDD)區)的位置,因此有助於固定上述摻雜區與閘極之間的距離,進而提升電晶體元件的電性表現。另外,由於狹縫的尺寸會影響口袋摻雜區的植入量,因此可藉由調整狹縫的尺寸來形成具有不同臨界電壓(threshold voltage,Vt)的電晶體元件,進而可省掉許多用於調整臨界電壓的光罩。Based on the above, in the transistor structure and its manufacturing method proposed in the present invention, the gate is divided into a plurality of gate parts by a plurality of slits, and the contact window is self-aligned by the spacer in the slit. The self-aligned contact (SAC) is formed, so the distance between the contact window on both sides of the gate part and the gate part can be fixed by the gap wall in the slit. In this way, it is possible to prevent the mismatch problem of the drain saturation current (Idsat) between the transistor elements, thereby improving the electrical performance of the transistor elements. For example, when the distance between the contact windows on both sides of the gate part and the gate part needs to be equal, the influence of the overlap and offset of the lithography process can be avoided, so that the contact windows on both sides of the gate part The distance between the gate and the gate is equal. In addition, the positions of doped regions (eg, source regions, drain regions, or lightly doped drain (LDD) regions) formed in the substrate can be fixed by slits and/or spacers, Therefore, it helps to fix the distance between the above-mentioned doped region and the gate electrode, thereby improving the electrical performance of the transistor element. In addition, since the size of the slit affects the implantation amount of the pocket doped region, the size of the slit can be adjusted to form transistor elements with different threshold voltages (Vt), which can save a lot of use. For adjusting the threshold voltage of the mask.

請參照圖1與圖2I,電晶體結構10包括基底100、閘極106、多個接觸窗126與多個間隙壁118。電晶體結構10可應用於各種電晶體元件。舉例來說,電晶體結構10可應用於類比電路(analog circuit)的積體電路設計,如電流鏡(current mirror)。閘極106被多個狹縫S分成多個閘極部GP。每個接觸窗126包括彼此相連的上部UP與下部LP。上部UP與下部LP可為一體成型。下部位於狹縫S中。上部UP位於下部LP上且跨越狹縫S。亦即,接觸窗126的上部UP的長度L1可大於狹縫S的寬度W1。長度L1的延伸方向與寬度W1的延伸方向可平行於通道長度CL的延伸方向。間隙壁118分別位於閘極部GP與接觸窗126之間。1 and FIG. 2I, the
此外,電晶體結構10更可包括閘介電層104a、硬罩幕層112、口袋摻雜區114、輕摻雜汲極區116、摻雜區120、介電層122、導線128、介電層130、接觸窗134、介層窗136中的至少一者。閘介電層104a位於閘極106與基底100之間。硬罩幕層112位於閘極106上。口袋摻雜區114位於閘極106兩側下方的基底100中。輕摻雜汲極區116位於間隙壁118下方的基底100中。摻雜區120分別位於狹縫S內由間隙壁118所暴露出的基底100中。介電層122位於硬罩幕層112上。接觸窗126的上部UP可位於介電層122中。導線128電性連接至接觸窗126。介電層130覆蓋介電層122與導線128。接觸窗134位於介電層130、介電層122與硬罩幕層112中。接觸窗134電性連接至閘極106。介層窗136位於介電層130中。介層窗136電性連接至導線128。In addition, the
此外,電晶體結構10中的各構件的材料、設置方式、形成方法與功效已於上述實施例進行詳盡地說明,於此不再說明。In addition, the materials, arrangement methods, formation methods and effects of the components in the
基於上述實施例可知,在電晶體結構10及其製造方法中,由於閘極106被多個狹縫S分成多個閘極部GP,且接觸窗126是藉由狹縫S中的間隙壁118進行自行對準而形成的自行對準接觸窗(SAC),因此可藉由狹縫S中的間隙壁118來固定閘極部GP兩側的接觸窗126與閘極部GP之間的距離D1。藉此,可防止電晶體元件之間的汲極飽和電流(Idsat)產生不匹配的問題,進而提升電晶體元件的電性表現。舉例來說,在閘極部GP兩側的接觸窗126與閘極部GP之間的距離D1需要相等的情況下,可以避免受到微影製程的重疊偏移的影響,而使得閘極部GP兩側的接觸窗126與閘極部GP之間的距離相等。Based on the above embodiment, in the
此外,可藉由狹縫S及/或間隙壁118來固定形成在基底100中的摻雜區(如,摻雜區120或輕摻雜汲極區116)的位置,因此有助於固定上述摻雜區與閘極106之間的距離,進而提升電晶體元件的電性表現。In addition, the position of the doped region (for example, the doped
另外,由於狹縫S的尺寸會影響口袋摻雜區114的植入量,因此可藉由調整狹縫S的尺寸來形成具有不同臨界電壓(Vt)的電晶體元件,進而可省掉許多用於調整臨界電壓的光罩。In addition, since the size of the slit S affects the implantation amount of the pocket doped

請參照圖1A、圖2I與圖3,圖1A與圖2I的電晶體結構10可應用於圖3的電流鏡結構20中。圖3的電流鏡結構20與圖1A的電晶體結構10的差異如下。電流鏡結構20與電晶體結構10的狹縫S的數量不同。此外,在圖3的電流鏡結構20中,相鄰兩個閘極部GP的相鄰兩個第一端E1彼此相連,且相鄰兩個閘極部GP的相鄰兩個第二端E2彼此相連,但本發明並不以此為限。在另一些實施例中,電流鏡結構20的相鄰兩個閘極部GP可僅藉由相鄰兩個第一端E1彼此相連或僅藉由相鄰兩個第二端E2彼此相連。在另一些實施例中,電流鏡結構20的相鄰兩個閘極部GP的相鄰兩個第一端E1可互不相連,且電流鏡結構20的相鄰兩個閘極部GP的相鄰兩個第二端E2可互不相連,而使得相鄰兩個閘極部GP可彼此分離。另外,電流鏡結構20更可包括汲極線DL1、汲極線DL2與源極線SL。汲極線DL1、汲極線DL2與源極線SL可分別經由所對應的接觸窗126電性連接至所對應的摻雜區120(圖2I)。Please refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 2I and FIG. 3, the
綜上所述,在上述實施例的電晶體結構及其製造方法中,由於接觸窗是自行對準接觸窗(SAC),因此可固定閘極部兩側的接觸窗與閘極部之間的距離。藉此,可防止電晶體元件之間產生不匹配的問題,進而提升電晶體元件的電性表現。此外,可藉由狹縫及/或間隙壁來固定形成在基底中的摻雜區的位置,因此有助於固定上述摻雜區與閘極之間的距離,進而提升電晶體元件的電性表現。另外,可藉由調整狹縫的尺寸來形成具有不同臨界電壓的電晶體元件,進而可省掉許多用於調整臨界電壓的光罩。In summary, in the transistor structure and manufacturing method of the foregoing embodiment, since the contact window is a self-aligned contact window (SAC), the gap between the contact window on both sides of the gate part and the gate part can be fixed. distance. In this way, the problem of mismatch between the transistor elements can be prevented, and the electrical performance of the transistor elements can be improved. In addition, the position of the doped region formed in the substrate can be fixed by slits and/or spacers, thereby helping to fix the distance between the above-mentioned doped region and the gate electrode, thereby improving the electrical properties of the transistor element Performance. In addition, the size of the slits can be adjusted to form transistor elements with different threshold voltages, so that many photomasks for adjusting threshold voltages can be omitted.
