Description

半导体器件及其制造方法
[0001]本申请要求了 2011月 12月 1日提交的、 申请号为 201110394014.2、发明 名称为"半导体器件及其制造方法"的中国专利申请的优先权, 其全部内容通 过引用结合在本申请中。 技术领域
[0002]本发明涉及半导体技术领域, 尤其涉及一种半导体器件及其制造方 法。 背景技术
[0003]随着半导体行业的发展,具有更高性能和更强功能的集成电路要求更 大的元件密度, 而且各个部件、 元件之间或各个元件自身的尺寸、 大小和空 间也需要进一步缩小(目前已经达到纳米级) , 因此半导体器件制造过程中 对工艺控制的要求较高。
[0004]限制金属氧化物半导体(MOS )晶体管尺寸进一步缩小的主要问题是 短沟道效应(SCE ) , 且该现象主要发生在沟道长度小于 0.1微米时。 器件失 效包括但不仅限于 DIBL (漏极感应载流子势垒降低, 即低的源漏极击穿电 压) , 亚阈值泄露, 和阈值不稳定等。 这些问题统称为短沟道效应, 主要与 界面层的等效氧化层厚度 ( Equivalent Oxide Thickness , EOT )有关。
[0005] 因此, 随着器件尺寸的进一步缩小, 增加载流子迁移率就成了至关重 要的一环。 现有技术中, 通常采用材料硅作为各种半导体器件的衬底, 其中 沟道区即为硅材料。如果能够将沟道区的材料换成具有更高载流子迁移率的 材料, 且这种材料又能和硅衬底很好地结合, 那么半导体器件的性能将会有 大幅度提高。 发明内容
[0006]本发明提供一种目的在于提供一种半导体器件及其制造方法,用于改 善沟道区载流子迁移率, 提高器件的性能。 [οοοη根据本发明的一个方面, 提供一种半导体器件的制造方法, 其特征在 于, 包括以下步骤:
a ) 提供衬底( 100 ),在所述衬底( 100 )之上形成伪栅堆叠和侧墙( 230 ), 在伪栅堆叠的两侧形成源 /漏区 (110) , 并形成覆盖整个半导体器 件的停止层(240) 以及第一层间介质层 (300) ;
b) 去除所述停止层 (240) 的一部分以暴露所述伪栅堆叠, 继续去除 所述伪栅堆叠, 暴露沟道区;
c) 刻蚀所述沟道区, 形成凹槽结构;
d) 在凹槽结构中形成新沟道区, 与所述衬底(100) 的上表面齐平, 所述新沟道区从与衬底的交界面开始依次包括緩冲层、 Ge层( 120 ) 和 Si帽层;
e) 形成栅极堆叠。
[0008】根据本发明的另一个方面, 提供一种半导体器件, 包括:
[0009]衬底( 100),形成有沟道区凹槽,该凹槽中填充了緩冲层、 0。层( 120) 和 Si帽层;
[0010]栅极堆叠, 形成于 Si帽层之上;
[0011]侧墙(230) , 形成于栅极堆叠两侧;
[0012]在所述沟道区凹槽的两侧形成于所述衬底( 100)之中的源 /漏区( 110)。
[0013]本发明提供的半导体器件的制造方法及其结构,通过在沟道区外延生 长 Ge代替传统的 Si, 提高了载流子的迁移率。 如下表所示:
Figure imgf000003_0001
[0014]在几种常用的材料中, Ge具有最高的空穴迁移率和较高的电子迁移 率, 因此采用 Ge材料两者的迁移率都会有所提高; 载流子迁移率越高, LSIC ( Large-Scaled Integrate circuits, 大规模集成电路) 的工作速度越快。 进一 步地, 由于 Ge和 Si具有相似的晶格常数, 因此 Ge可以很容易地集成在 Si衬底 上。 对于 NMOS器件, 在 Ge上原位掺杂硼或者铟; 而对于 PMOS 器件, 原 位掺杂砷或者磷, 能够进一步调节沟道区的应力, 且采用原位掺杂的方法能 够有效减小采用离子注入方法产生的损伤。 另外,对 Ge掺杂会形成非常陡峭 的掺杂轮廓, 从而改进短沟道效应。
[0015] 因此, 沟道区采用 Ge代替 Si能够有效提高沟道区载流子迁移率, 提高 器件的整体性能, 且该方法在工艺上易于实现。 附图说明

[0028]下文中将结合本发明提供的半导体器件的制造方法对上述实施例进 行进一步的阐述。
[0029]参考图 1 , 图 1是根据本发明的半导体器件的制造方法的一个具体实施 方式的流程图, 该方法包括:
[0030]步骤 S101 , 提供衬底 100 , 在所述衬底 100之上形成伪栅堆叠和侧墙 230,在伪栅堆叠的两侧形成源 /漏区 110,并形成覆盖整个半导体器件的停止 层 240以及第一层间介质层 300;

[0034]步骤 S 105 , 形成栅极堆叠。
[0035]下面结合图 2至图 13对步骤 S101至步骤 S105进行阐释。图 2至图 13是根 据本发明的多个具体实施方式按照图 1示出的流程制造半导体器件过程中该 半导体器件各个制造阶段的示意图。 需要说明的是, 本发明各个实施例的附 图仅是为了示意的目的, 因此没有必要按比例绘制。
[0036】如图 2所示, 执行步骤 S101 , 提供衬底 100, 在所述衬底 100之上形成 伪栅堆叠和侧墙 230,在伪栅堆叠的两侧形成源 /漏区 110,并形成覆盖整个半 导体器件的停止层 240以及第一层间介质层 300。
[0037]在本实施例中, 衬底 100包括硅衬底(例如硅晶片 ) 。 根据现有技术 公知的设计要求(例如 P型衬底或者 N型衬底) , 衬底 100可以包括各种掺杂 配置, 也可以是未掺杂的本征半导体。 其他实施例中衬底 100还可以包括其 他基本半导体, 例如锗。 或者, 衬底 100可以包括化合物半导体, 例如碳化 硅、 砷化镓、 砷化铟或者碑化铟。 典型地, 衬底 100可以具有但不限于约几 百微米的厚度, 例如可以在 400 μ m~800 μ m的厚度范围内。
[0038]在衬底 100上形成包括伪栅极 220和栅极介质层 210的伪栅堆叠。 栅极 介质层 210的材料包括但不限于热氧化层, 包括氧化硅或氮氧化硅。 伪栅极 220可以聚合物材料形成。 所述聚合物材料包括聚甲基丙烯酸、 聚碳酸酯、 SU-8、 聚二甲基硅氧烷、 聚酰亚胺、 聚对二甲苯中的一种或其任意组合。 其 形成方法可以采用沉积、 CVD等。 例如, 如果采用 SU-8来制造伪栅极 220, 即采用沉积的方式; 由于聚酰亚胺是光刻胶, 如果用其来制造伪栅极 220, 则可采用旋涂、 曝光显影的方式。 优选的, 采用非晶硅材料形成伪栅极 220。
[0039】在本实施例中, 在形成侧墙 230之前, 对伪栅堆叠两侧的衬底 100进行 浅掺杂, 以形成源 /漏延伸区。 可选的, 还可以进行 Halo注入, 以形成 Halo 注入区。 其中浅掺杂的杂质类型与器件类型一致, Halo注入的杂质类型与器 件类型相反。
[0040]进一步地, 在所述伪栅堆叠的侧壁上形成侧墙 230, 用于将栅极隔开。 侧墙 230可以由氮化硅、 氧化硅、 氮氧化硅、 碳化硅及其组合, 和 /或其他合 适的材料形成。 侧墙 230可以具有多层结构。 侧墙 230可以通过包括沉积刻蚀 工艺形成, 其厚度范围可以是 10nm ~ lOOnm, 如 30nm、 50nm或 80nm。
[0041]之后, 可以通过向衬底 100中注入 P型或 N型掺杂物或杂质而形成源 / 漏区 110。 例如, 对于 PMOS来说, 源 /漏区 110可以是 P型掺杂的 SiGe, 对于 NMOS来说, 源 /漏区 110可以是 N型掺杂的 Si。 源 /漏区 110可以由包括光刻、 离子注入、 扩散和 /或其他合适工艺的方法形成。 在本实施例中, 源 /漏区 110 在衬底 100内部,在其他一些实施例中, 源 /漏区 110可以是通过选择性外延生 长所形成的提升的源漏极结构, 其外延部分的顶部高于伪栅堆叠底部(本说 明书中所指的伪栅堆叠底部意指伪栅堆叠与半导体衬底 100的交界线) 。
[0042】参考图 3 , 形成停止层 240, 覆盖源 /漏区 110、 源 /漏延伸区、 伪栅堆叠 和侧墙 230。 停止层 240可以包括 Si3N4、 氮氧化硅、 碳化硅和 /或其他合适的 材料制成。 停止层 240可以采用例如 CVD、 物理气相沉积(PVD ) 、 ALD和 / 或其他合适的工艺制成。 在一个实施例中, 停止层 240的厚度范围为 10nm~20nm, 例如 10nm、 15nm或 20nm。 该停止层 240除了作为后续 CMP步 骤的停止层, 还作为一种应力层。 优选的, 在 NMOS器件中, 采用具有拉应 力的材料制作停止层 240; 在 PMOS器件中,采用具有压应力的材料制作停止 层 240。
[0043]形成覆盖停止层 240的第一层间介质层 300。 第一层间介质层 300可以 通过 CVD、 高密度等离子体 CVD、 旋涂或其他合适的方法形成在停止层 240 上。第一层间介质层 300的材料可以采用包括 Si02、碳掺杂 Si02、 BPSG、 PSG、 UGS、 氮氧化硅、 低 k材料或其组合。 第一层间介质层 300的厚度范围可以是 40nm ~150nm, 如 40nm、 lOOnm或 150nm。 如图 4所示, 执行平坦化处理, 使 伪栅堆叠上的停止层 240暴露出来, 并与第一层间介质层 300齐平(本发明中 的术语 "齐平,, 指的是两者之间的高度差在工艺误差允许的范围内) 。
[0044】执行步骤 S102 , 参考图 5和图 6, 去除所述停止层 240的一部分以暴露 所述伪栅堆叠, 继续去除所述伪栅堆叠, 暴露沟道区。 去除伪栅极 220, 停 止于栅极介质层 210, 形成一个凹槽。 由于 TMAH溶液在非晶硅材料和氧化 硅材料之间具有较高的选择性, 因此优选采用 TM AH溶液进行湿法刻蚀去除 伪栅极 220, 参考图 6。
[0045】接下来, 参考图 7 , 去除栅极介质层 210, 停止于衬底 100, 暴露沟道 区。 可采用干刻或者湿刻工艺。 湿刻工艺包括采用 HF基湿法刻蚀液, 例如 稀释 HF 酸(DHF )或緩释刻蚀液(BOE, HF 与 NH4F 的混合物)或其他 合适的刻蚀剂溶液。 所述干刻方法包括等离子体刻蚀、 离子铣、 反溅射、 反 应离子刻蚀。
[0046]进一步地, 执行步骤 S103 , 沿步骤 S102中形成的凹槽继续向下刻蚀, 刻蚀衬底 100中的沟道区, 形成沟道区凹槽, 如图 8所示。 刻蚀方法例如采用 TMAH 湿法刻蚀或等离子体干法刻蚀, 刻蚀衬底达到一定深度。 可从本说 明书的上述部分找到说明, 在此不再赘述。 沟道区凹槽的深度依照器件电性 性能需要而定,例如当器件沟道区厚度需要 50nm时, 沟道区凹槽的深度大于 等于 50nm。
[0047] 参考图 9 , 执行步骤 S104, 在沟道区 EJ槽中形成新的沟道区。 首先在 衬底 100上的凹槽内沉积 SixGe1→c材料, 形成緩冲层。 其中, X的取值范围可为 0-1 , 可以根据工艺需要灵活条件。 沉积可以采用超高压化学气相沉积 ( UHV/CVD ) 、 分子束外延 ( MBE ) 、 减压化学气相沉积( RPCVD )或者 金属有机气相沉积(MOCVD )等方法进行。 接下来, 在緩冲层上外延生长 材料 Ge, 形成 Ge层 120。 根据器件类型的不同, 在生长过程中, 进行不同离 子的原位掺杂。 对于 NMOS器件, 掺杂硼或者铟; 而对于 PMOS 器件, 掺 杂砷或者磷。 最后在 Ge层 120上形成 Si帽层, 所述 Si帽层的上表面与源 /漏区 110的上表面齐平。 由于 Ge的电子迁移率和空穴迁移率都明显高于 Si, 且 Ge 的晶格常数与 Si相似, 能够很容易在硅衬底 100上进行沉积。 因此采用 Ge离 子新生成的沟道区可进一步调节沟道区内的应力, 以提高沟道区内载流子 的迁移率。
[0048]最后, 执行步骤 S 105 , 形成栅极堆叠。 可选的, 在沟道区上方形成衬 垫介质层 410。衬垫介质层 410的材料可以采用包括 Si02、碳掺杂 Si02、BPSG、 PSG、 UGS、 氮氧化硅、 低 k材料或其组合。 优选采用氧化物, 其厚度小于 lnm。
[0049]在介质层 410和凹槽侧壁上形成高 k介质层 420。 高 k介质层 420的材料 包括 HfAlON、 HfSiAlON、 HfTaAlON、 HfTiAlON、 HfON、 HfSiON、 HfTaON、 HfTiON, A1203、 La203、 Zr02、 LaAlO中的一种或其组合。优选为 Hf02或 La203。 高 k介质层 420的厚度为 lnm~3nm, 例如 lnm、 2nm或 3nm。
[0050]进一步, 形成金属栅极 430。 可选的, 金属栅极 430可以为一层或者多 层结构。 其材料可以为 TaN、 TaC、 TiN、 TaAlN、 TiAIN 、 MoAIN 、 TaTbN、 TaErN、 TaYbN、 TaSiN、 HfSiN、 MoSiN、 RuTax、 NiTax中的一种或其组合。 其厚度范围例如可以为 10nm -80nm, 如 10nm、 30nm或 80nm。
[0051】可选的, 金属栅极 430还可以包括以功函数金属层, 功函数金属栅层 可以采用 TiN、 TiAIN, TaN或 TaAlN等材料制成。 功函数金属层位于金属栅 极 430的底部与高 k介质层 420向接触。
[0052】参考图 10, 对高 k介质层 420和金属栅极 430进行平坦化处理, 使两者 刚好填充侧墙 230构成的凹槽, 两者的上表面与侧墙上表面齐平。
[0053】可选的, 在步骤 S105 中形成的半导体器件上形成接触塞。 首先形成 第二层间介质层 500, 以覆盖上述步骤中形成的半导体器件。 第二层间介质 层 500可以通过化学气相沉积(Chemical vapor deposition , CVD ), 高密度 等离子体 CVD、 旋涂或其他合适的方法形成。 第二层间介质层 500的材料 可以采用包括 Si02、 碳掺杂 Si02、 BPSG、 PSG、 UGS、 氮氧化硅、 低 k材 料或其组合。第二层间介质层 500的厚度范围可以是 10nm~50nm,如 10nm、 30nm或 50nm„
[0054】接下来, 参考图 11 , 刻蚀部分第二层间介质层 500、 第一层间介质层 300和停止层 240, 形成使源 /漏区 110部分暴露的接触孔孔。 具体地, 可以 使用干法刻蚀、 湿法刻蚀或其他合适的刻蚀方式进行刻蚀以形成接触孔。 由 于栅极堆叠被侧墙 230所保护, 因此即使在形成接触孔时进行过刻蚀也不会 导致金属栅极 430与源 /漏区 110的短路。
[0055]如果源 /漏区 110是通过选择性外延生长所形成的提升的源 /漏结构, 其外延部分的顶部高于栅极堆叠底部,则接触孔可以形成到源 /漏区 110内部 与栅极堆叠底部齐平的位置为止, 这样当在接触孔内填充接触金属以形成接 触塞 620 时, 该接触金属可以通过接触孔的部分侧壁和底部与源 /漏区 110 接触, 从而进一步增加接触面积并降低接触电阻。
[0056]可选的,在接触孔下部暴露的源 /漏区 110上沉积金属,进行退火处理 后形成金属硅化物 600。 具体地, 首先, 通过接触孔采用离子注入、 沉积非 晶化物或者选择性生长的方式,对暴露的源 /漏区 110进行预非晶化处理,形 成局部非晶硅区域; 然后利用金属溅镀方式或化学气相沉积法,在该源 /漏区 110上形成均勾的金属层, 优选地, 该金属可以是镍。 当然该金属也可以是 其他可行的金属, 例如 Ti、 Co或 Cu等。 随后对该半导体器件进行退火, 在 其他的实施例中可以采用其他的退火工艺, 如快速热退火、 尖峰退火等。 根 据本发明的实施例, 通常采用瞬间退火工艺对器件进行退火, 例如在大约 1000°C以上的温度进行微秒级激光退火,使所述沉积的金属与该源 /漏区 110 内形成的非晶化物发生反应形成金属硅化物 600, 最后可以选用化学刻蚀的 方法除去未反应的沉积的所述金属。 所述非晶化物可以是非晶硅、 非晶化硅 锗或者非晶化硅碳中的一种。 在本实施例中, 金属硅化物 600 的厚度为 lnm~7nm, 例如 lnm、 2nm或 7nm。 形成金属石圭化物 600的好处是可以减小 接触塞 620中的接触金属与源 /漏区 110之间的电阻率,进一步降低接触电阻。
[0057】如图 13所示, 在接触孔内通过沉积的方法填充接触金属形成接触塞 620。 该接触金属具有与衬底 100中暴露的源 /漏区 110进行电连接的下部分 (所述 "电连接"指的是接触金属的下部分可能直接与衬底 100中暴露的源 /漏区 110接触, 也可能通过衬底 100中暴露的源 /漏区 100上形成的金属硅 化物 600与衬底 100中暴露的源 /漏区 110形成实质上的电连通 ) , 该接触金 属经过接触孔贯穿停止层 240、 第一层间介质层 300和第二介质层 500, 并 露出其顶部。
[0058]优选地, 接触金属的材料为 W。 当然根据半导体的制造需要, 接触金 属的材料包括但不限于W、 Al、 TiAl合金中任一种或其组合。 可选地, 在填 充接触金属之前, 可以选择在接触孔的内壁以及底部形成衬层 610。 该衬层 610可以通过 ALD、 CVD、 PVD等沉积工艺沉积在接触孔的内壁以及底部, 该衬层 610的材料可以是 Ti、 TiN、 Ta、 TaN、 Ru或其组合。
[0059]采用本发明提供的半导体器件的制造方法, 通过采用 Ge材料代替 Si 材料形成新的沟道区, 有效提高了沟道区的载流子迁移率, 进而提高了半导 体器件的性能。且采用原位掺杂的方法能够有效减小采用离子注入方法产生 的损伤。另夕卜,对 Ge掺杂会形成非常陡峭的掺杂轮廓,从而改进短沟道效应。
[0060] 虽然关于示例实施例及其优点已经详细说明,应当理解在不脱离本发 明的精神和所附权利要求限定的保护范围的情况下, 可以对这些实施例进行 各种变化、 替换和修改。 对于其他例子, 本领域的普通技术人员应当容易理 解在保持本发明保护范围内的同时, 工艺步骤的次序可以变化。
