Description

Strengthen the active method of n channel electrons
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of nMO SFET (n metallic oxide semiconductor field effect transistor; N NMOS N-channel MOS N field-effect transistor) processing method is specifically related to the active method of n channel electrons among a kind of nMOSFET of enhancing.
Background technology
At present, along with updating of processing technology, the processing of integrated circuit has got into the epoch of 65/45 nanometer (nm) technology, and nickel silicide (NiSi) is just becoming the selection material that contact is used.As majority carrier, thereby raceway groove is the n type to nMOSFET with electronics.Along with the size of MOSFET constantly reduces, the someone adopts following method to increase the electron mobility of n raceway groove, shown in Fig. 1-5: around polysilicon gate 101, form compensation side wall 102 (offset spacer) protective layer, as shown in Figure 1; Form master wall 105 (main spacer) in said compensation side wall 102 outsides, as shown in Figure 2; Carry out the source, leak to implant, form source electrode 103 and drain electrode 104, as shown in Figure 3, then silicon chip surface is carried out annealing in process, with activation grid and source, drain electrode; Have the silicon nitride layer 106 of tension force at silicon chip top layer deposit one deck, as shown in Figure 4, the lattice at stretching n raceway groove place improves the electronics operating rate; And then carry out annealing in process, and the lattice structure at n raceway groove place is fixed, the tensile stress to the n raceway groove (tensile stress) that silicon nitride layer 106 is introduced is maintained and remembers; Get rid of the silicon nitride layer of the superiors; And, form nickel silicide through annealing then to the top of polysilicon gate 101, source electrode and drain electrode sputtering deposit metallic nickel respectively, and nickel silicon (NiSi) 107, as shown in Figure 5.The forming process of nickel silicide to the source, leak silicon consumption less, and just be the maximum zone of doping content, thereby very favourable for reducing whole contact resistance near the silicon on surface.The follow-up processing steps such as deposit moulding that carry out ground floor inter-level dielectric oxide are not in addition given unnecessary details at this.At this moment the lattice structure in the n raceway groove compare when not applying tensile stress looser, so can be through said method so that the mobility of the electronics in the n raceway groove (mobility) gets a promotion, the electronically active in the n raceway groove is enhanced.

For make the object of the invention, technical scheme, and advantage clearer, below with reference to the accompanying drawing embodiment that develops simultaneously, to further explain of the present invention.
Embodiment 1
Fig. 6-12 has shown the active method of a kind of n of enhancing channel electrons of the present invention, specifically comprises the steps:
One, forming on every side of the polysilicon gate above the silicon chip substrate of n raceway groove position 201 compensates side wall 202, and be as shown in Figure 6.The material of said compensation side wall 202 is silicon dioxide or silicon nitride or their combination; With silicon dioxide is example, and the generation method of said compensation side wall 202 is through to wafer deposition silicon dioxide, utilizes dry etch process to anti-carve then, after polysilicon exposes, stops to anti-carve obtaining.Owing to using ion sputtering, used anisotropic etching instrument fallen most silicon dioxide in the said process, so do not need mask; What anti-carve removal is not whole silicon dioxide, has kept a part of silicon dioxide around the polysilicon gate.
Two, form master wall 205 (material of compensation side wall 205 is silicon dioxide or silicon nitride or their combination, and its preparation method is with the forming method of above-mentioned compensation side wall 202) in said compensation side wall 202 outsides, as shown in Figure 7.
Three, carry out source, leakage implantation, form source electrode shown in Figure 7 203 and drain electrode 204, as shown in Figure 8, afterwards silicon chip is carried out annealing in process, with activation source, drain electrode.
Four, adopt plasma etching or wet etching, get rid of said master wall 205, as shown in Figure 9, only remaining said compensation side wall 202 is in said polysilicon gate 201 outer periphery.
Five, adopt gas ions chemical gas-phase deposition enhanced PECVD or accurate normal pressure chemical vapor deposition SACVD method, at silicon chip top layer deposit one deck silicon nitride layer 206, promptly shell of tension is shown in figure 10.Temperature during deposit is 400-550 degree centigrade; The tension force of the said silicon nitride layer 206 that deposit goes out is 1.0-2.0 giga pascals (GPa), makes the lattice structure at n raceway groove place obtain stretching, and becomes looser.The pressure of reaction chamber is controlled at 1-7 holder (Torr) during these silicon nitride layer 206 deposits.Certainly, in other embodiment, above-mentioned silicon nitride layer also can replace with silicon oxide layer, and it can play the effect that tensile stress is provided for the n raceway groove equally.
Six, adopt spike annealing or laser annealing, under 900-1200 degree centigrade, silicon chip is carried out annealing in process, make the lattice structure at stretched said n raceway groove place obtain fixing and memory.
Seven, get rid of the said silicon nitride layer 206 on silicon chip top layer, shown in figure 11.
Eight, shown in figure 11, at this moment amorphisation is carried out on the silicon chip top layer, promptly to silicon chip surface implanted silicon ion (Si +), implantation depth is the 150-250 nanometer.Certainly, in other embodiment, the above-mentioned ion processing silicon ion (Si that implants to silicon chip surface +) outside, also can be germanium ion (Ge +) or nitrogen ion (N +), it all can be decrystallized with silicon chip surface.
Nine, to top, source electrode and the drain electrode difference sputtering deposit metallic nickel of polysilicon gate 201,, form nickel silicon 207 at above-mentioned position then through twice annealing, shown in figure 12.Before the annealing in process of said nickel silicon 207 is still continued to use silicon chip is stepped back the similar double annealing technology of processing, but annealing temperature there has been obvious reduction (<600 ℃), so just significantly reduces the destruction to the established ultra shallow junction of device.From the angle of kinetics of diffusion, short annealing time can suppress ions diffusion effectively.Therefore, spike annealing (spike anneal) is applicable to the annealing process first time in the above-mentioned nickel silicide moulding twice annealing.
