Embodiment
The sidewall formation method of existing multiple-unit semiconductor device adopts overall sidewall etching, is easy to be subject to the grid oxygen size restrictions in different components and parts zone, and produces the situation of over etching or etching deficiency.The present invention adopts the method for substep subregion etching, solves the unmanageable problem of above-mentioned etch amount, thereby in each components and parts zone, forms required separately desirable sidewall.
For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent more, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
With reference to shown in Figure 6, the sidewall formation method of multiple-unit semiconductor device of the present invention, basic step comprises:
S1, provide the multiple-unit semiconductor device that does not form sidewall, described multiple-unit semiconductor device to comprise at least the first element region and the second element region, and transistorized gate dielectric layer thickness is different in each element region;
Wherein, it is relatively thin to define in the first element region transistorized gate dielectric layer thickness, also is that the grid structure size is less.In addition, in existing MOS technique, gate dielectric layer is not to aim at etching of disposable while of gate electrode sometimes, and therefore described gate dielectric layer also may be overlying on transistorized source-drain area undetermined surface, and removes in the lump in follow-up sidewall etching.
S2, at the surface coverage of described each element region of multiple-unit semiconductor device deposition insulating medium layer;
Because the difference of transistorized grid structure size in each element region, the relative thickness of described insulating medium layer when covering deposition also may be different.Described insulating medium layer is used to form sidewall, therefore should select its material according to concrete needs.Common sidewall material comprises silicon nitride and silica etc.
S3, in vertical direction described insulating medium layer is carried out the first plasma etching, so that form the first side wall in the first element region;
Wherein, described the first plasma etching will carry out on the surface of whole multiple-unit semiconductor device, because transistorized gate dielectric layer thickness is the thinnest in the first element region, the grid structure size is minimum, therefore in the first plasma etching process, the silicon face that should expose at first source-drain area, and form the first side wall, so whether the first plasma etching should expose for stopping foundation according to the silicon face in source transistor drain region in the first element region.
S4, form mask layer on the surface of the first element region;
Because the size of element region is larger, for reducing cost, to enhance productivity, the mode that can directly adopt photoresist to smear and expose only forms mask on the surface of the first element region that forms desirable sidewall.
S5, in vertical direction the described insulating medium layer that is positioned at the second element region surface is carried out the second plasma etching, so that form the second sidewall in the second element region.
Because the surface of the first element region is formed with the mask layer of protection, therefore described the second plasma etching only exerts an influence to the second element region.According to aforementioned theory, when the first plasma etching finished, the surface of the second element region is should be also residual thicker insulating medium layer or gate dielectric layer.Whether described the second plasma etching plays the effect that further etching is adjusted, should expose according to the silicon face in source transistor drain region in the second element region for stopping foundation, thereby further form the second required sidewall.
Through above-mentioned basic step, each element region will obtain desirable separately sidewall, and avoid the situation of over etching or etching deficiency.Except above-mentioned steps, also should comprise the conventional steps such as mask layer of removing the element region surface.
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment, the sidewall formation method of multiple-unit semiconductor device of the present invention is described further.
As shown in Figure 7, at first provide the multiple-unit semiconductor device that does not form sidewall, described multiple-unit semiconductor device comprises the first element region I and the second element region II.
Wherein, the first element region I comprises the first substrate 301, is positioned at the first grid dielectric layer 302 on the first substrate 301 surfaces, is positioned at the first grid electrode 303 on first grid dielectric layer 302 surfaces.Described first grid electrode 303 is over etching location, therefore the first substrate 301 be positioned at the part of its both sides will be as source and drain areas, and described first grid dielectric layer 302 is not yet aimed at through over etching, therefore is covered in the surface of above-mentioned source and drain areas.
The second element region II comprises the second substrate 401, is positioned at the second gate dielectric layer 402 on the second substrate 401 surfaces, is positioned at the second gate electrode 403 on second gate dielectric layer 402 surfaces.Same described second gate electrode is also located through over etching, the second substrate 401 is positioned at the part of its both sides as source and drain areas, and second gate dielectric layer 402 is not yet aimed at through over etching, therefore be covered in the surface of above-mentioned source-drain area, and the thickness of described second gate dielectric layer 402 is greater than the thickness of described first grid dielectric layer 302.In addition second gate dielectric layer 302 be positioned at second gate electrode bottom a side also by selective oxidation technology (LOCOS), the selective oxidation that carries out is grown, so thickness is thicker than other parts, plays buffer action.
As shown in Figure 8, on the surface of above-mentioned multiple-unit semiconductor device, also namely the surface coverage of the first element region I and the second element region II deposits insulating medium layer 500.
Described insulating medium layer 500 is used for the subsequent technique etching and forms sidewall, and its material is selected according to the needs of required formation sidewall, can also can be silicon nitride for silica, can form by chemical vapour deposition (CVD).Because in the aforementioned structure, first grid dielectric layer 302 and second gate dielectric layer 402 are all aimed at without over etching and be covered in the separately surface of source-drain area, therefore described insulating medium layer 500 also covers each the gate dielectric layer surface that is positioned on the source-drain area.In follow-up sidewall etching, each gate dielectric layer on the described source-drain area will with insulating medium layer 500 removal that is etched in the lump.
As shown in Figure 9, in vertical direction described insulating medium layer 500 is carried out the first plasma etching, described the first plasma etching carries out in the first element region I and the second element region II simultaneously.
Described the first plasma etching etch rate in the vertical direction is greater than side direction, so insulating medium layer 500 is will be on the vertical interface of gate electrode residual and form sidewall.In the present embodiment, because the thinner thickness of the first grid dielectric layer 302 among the first element region I, it is also less that the size of whole grid structure is compared the second element region II, therefore the first grid dielectric layer 302 on substrate 301 surfaces and insulating medium layer 500 removal that will be etched at first among the first element region I, and expose the source-drain area surface.Therefore described the first plasma etching is namely surperficial for stopping foundation with the source transistor drain region that exposes among the first element region I.After the first plasma etching finishes, will form comparatively desirable the first side wall 501 among the first element region I.And there are second gate dielectric layer 402 and a SI semi-insulation dielectric layer 500 in the surface of source-drain area with residual among the second element region I, and its sidewall is not yet finished.
As shown in figure 10, form mask layer 600 on the surface of described the first element region I.
Because the relative area of the first element region I is larger, therefore described mask layer 600 can be photoresist.Only need at the surface-coated photoresist of whole multiple-unit semiconductor device, then adopt mask exposure and development, so that the photoresist on the first element region I surface is retained.Above-mentioned mask layer 600 will protect the first element region I not to be subjected to the impact of subsequent technique.
As shown in figure 11, in vertical direction the insulating medium layer 500 that is positioned at the second element region II surface is carried out the second plasma etching, in the second element region II, to form the second sidewall 502.
Owing to passed through the first plasma etching, therefore the insulating medium layer 500 on the second element region II surface is by preliminary etching, the thickness of second gate dielectric layer 402 and the size of grid structure in respect to the second element region II, the etch amount of above-mentioned the first plasma etching is not enough to form the second sidewall 502.Therefore described the second plasma etching will further be removed the second gate dielectric layer 402 on source-drain area surface and residual insulating medium layer 500 as a supplement.Described the second plasma etching also should be to expose among the second element region II transistorized source-drain area surface for stopping foundation.After the second plasma etching is finished, should form the second desirable sidewall 502 among the second element region II.Because the protective effect of mask layer 600, described the second plasma etching can't be to the first element region I injury.
As shown in figure 12, remove the mask layer 600 on the first element region I surface.Finish the sidewall formation method of the described multiple-unit semiconductor device of present embodiment.
Above-described embodiment, only carry out step etching take two kinds of different element regions of gate dielectric layer thickness and form separately desirable sidewall as example, further, when described multiple-unit semiconductor device comprises the components and parts zone of different gate dielectric layer thickness more than three or three, also can adopt sidewall formation method of the present invention.Only need carry out the plasma etching with the number of times such as the number of partitions, and according to the ordering of each district's gate dielectric layer thickness, carry out successively etching, and be aided with the protection of mask layer for the element region that forms desirable sidewall.For example, for the sort element region of N of gate dielectric layer thickness, it will be subject to the plasma etching of N number, revise one by one the final comparatively desirable side wall construction that obtains.Those skilled in the art should be easily according to disclosed content, and the processing step that further pushes away specifically repeats no more herein.
Although the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment, the present invention is defined in this.Any those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, all can make various changes or modifications, so protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with the claim limited range.
