Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及半导体制造工艺,具体而言涉及一种鳍式场效应晶体管及其制造方法。The present invention relates to a semiconductor manufacturing process, in particular to a fin field effect transistor and a manufacturing method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
半导体器件尺寸的不断缩小是推动集成电路制造技术改进的主要因素。由于调整栅氧化物层的厚度和源/漏极的结深度的限制,很难将常规的平面MOSFET器件缩小至32nm以下的工艺,因此,已经开发出多栅极场效应晶体管。The continuous shrinking of the size of semiconductor devices is a major factor driving improvements in integrated circuit manufacturing technology. Due to the limitations of adjusting the thickness of the gate oxide layer and the depth of the source/drain junction, it is difficult to scale conventional planar MOSFET devices to processes below 32 nm, therefore, multi-gate field effect transistors have been developed.
典型的多栅极场效应晶体管为鳍式场效应晶体管(FinFET),它使得器件的尺寸更小,性能更高。鳍式场效应晶体管包括垂直于衬底的鳍片,导电沟道形成在该鳍片中,且鳍片之上及两侧包围有栅极。与传统的平面结构相比,鳍式场效应晶体管实现全耗尽的工作模式,栅电极从垂直鳍结构的三边控制导电沟道,因而鳍式场效应晶体管具有更好的沟道控制能力和更好的亚阈值斜率,可以提供更小的泄露电流、更小的栅极延迟以及更大的电流驱动能力。A typical multi-gate field effect transistor is the fin field effect transistor (FinFET), which enables smaller device size and higher performance. The fin field effect transistor includes a fin perpendicular to the substrate, a conductive channel is formed in the fin, and a gate is surrounded on and on both sides of the fin. Compared with the traditional planar structure, the fin field effect transistor realizes a fully depleted working mode, and the gate electrode controls the conduction channel from the three sides of the vertical fin structure, so the fin field effect transistor has better channel control ability and Better sub-threshold slope can provide smaller leakage current, smaller gate delay and greater current drive capability.
尽管鳍式场效应晶体管相对于平面结构场效应晶体管来说提供了改进的性能,但是也带来了一些设计挑战。具体来说,常规MOSFET对于器件宽度基本上无限制,而鳍式场效应晶体管鳍片的宽度和高度一般是固定的,因此,对于给定的晶体管长度,鳍式场效应晶体管的饱和电流是固定的。然而,在高性能集成电路中,经常需要具有不同驱动能力的晶体管,例如SRAM(静态随机存取存储器)单元。SRAM一般由6个MOS构成,需要具有不同的驱动电流,以便实现SRAM单元的最佳性能。然而对于鳍式场效应晶体管,只能采用改变并联的鳍片数量的方法来达到目的。Although fin field effect transistors offer improved performance over planar structure field effect transistors, they also present some design challenges. Specifically, conventional MOSFETs are essentially unlimited for device width, while FinFET fins are generally fixed in width and height, so for a given transistor length, the saturation current of the FinFET is fixed of. However, in high performance integrated circuits, transistors with different drive capabilities are often required, such as SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) cells. SRAM is generally composed of 6 MOSs, which need to have different drive currents in order to achieve the best performance of the SRAM cell. However, for the fin field effect transistor, the method can only be achieved by changing the number of fins connected in parallel.
因此,有必要提出一种鳍式场效应晶体管的制造方法,能够得到不同宽度与有效高度的鳍片。Therefore, it is necessary to provide a method for manufacturing a fin field effect transistor, which can obtain fins with different widths and effective heights.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, however, the present invention may have other embodiments in addition to these detailed descriptions. [Exemplary Embodiment 1]
下面将参照图2~图11对本发明一实施方式的鳍式场效应晶体管的制作方法做详细描述。A method for fabricating a fin field effect transistor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 11 .
首先,执行步骤201,提供半导体衬底301。First,
具体地,本发明中所述半导体衬底可以是以下所提到的材料中的至少一种:硅、绝缘体上硅(SOI)、绝缘体上层叠硅(SSOI)、绝缘体上层叠锗化硅(S-SiGeOI)、绝缘体上锗化硅(SiGeOI)以及绝缘体上锗(GeOI)等。Specifically, the semiconductor substrate in the present invention may be at least one of the following materials: silicon, silicon-on-insulator (SOI), silicon-on-insulator (SSOI), silicon-germanium-on-insulator (SSOI) -SiGeOI), silicon germanium on insulator (SiGeOI) and germanium on insulator (GeOI), etc.

在另一个实施例中,如图6b所示,依次在所述第一隔离层302及第二隔离层303表面形成硅抗反射层307,底部抗反射层(BARC)308以及光刻胶层306。首先在第一隔离层302及第二隔离层303表面旋涂一层硅抗反射层307,例如氮氧化硅或氮化硅,再在其上形成一层BARC308,例如聚酰亚胺类或聚砜类。示例性地,通过用包含单体的溶液旋涂衬底并引发聚合反应来形成BARC,形成的BARC的厚度在从300埃至5000埃的范围内。在100℃至500℃温度范围内进行烘烤以使BARC交联。在所述BARC上形成光刻胶306,对所述光刻胶进行曝光、显影,以形成图案化的光刻胶。以所述图案化的光刻胶为掩膜,刻蚀所述抗反射层,并以所述抗反射层为硬掩膜刻蚀隔离层以形成定义鳍片的第一沟槽309和第二沟槽310,所述第一沟槽309和第二沟槽310的深度为2000埃到3000埃,如图7所示。In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6b, a
接着,采用湿法刻蚀对所述沟槽进行第二步刻蚀,如图8所示。所述湿法刻蚀采用的溶液包括氢氟酸溶液,氢氟酸溶液等。由于所述第二隔离层材料的湿法刻蚀速率大于所述第一隔离层,因此湿法刻蚀后第二沟槽310的宽度大于第一沟槽309的宽度。示例性地,所述第一沟槽与第二沟槽宽度的差值为3-5nm。Next, a second step of etching is performed on the trenches by wet etching, as shown in FIG. 8 . The solution used in the wet etching includes a hydrofluoric acid solution, a hydrofluoric acid solution, and the like. Since the wet etching rate of the second isolation layer material is higher than that of the first isolation layer, the width of the
接着,执行步骤205,如图9所示,填充所述第一沟槽309和第二沟槽310,以形成第一鳍片311和第二鳍片312。具体地,在所述沟槽中外延生长硅或多晶硅,以填充所述沟槽。所述硅或者多晶硅可以选用减压外延、低温外延、选择外延、液相外延、异质外延以及分子束外延等。外延工艺可使用气体和/或液体前体。所述鳍片还可为通过硅锗外延沉积工艺形成的硅锗(SiGe)。在鳍片生长过程中通过添加杂质到外延工艺的原始材料中或随后通过离子注入工艺添加杂质到半导体材料的生长工艺中可掺杂半导体材料。接着,实施化学机械抛光(CMP)工艺以平坦化所述第一鳍片311和第二鳍片312。Next,
接着,执行步骤206,如图10所示,回刻蚀所述第一隔离层302及所述第二隔离层303,使所述第一鳍片311和第二鳍片312暴露预定的有效高度,所述第二鳍片312的有效高度大于所述第一鳍片311的有效高度。由于所述第一隔离层302的厚度大于所述第二隔离层303的厚度,因此所述第一鳍片311的有效高度小于所述第二鳍片312的有效高度。示例性地,所述第一鳍片与所述第二鳍片的有效高度差为50-200埃。所述回蚀刻工艺可以为干法蚀刻工艺、湿法蚀刻工艺、其它蚀刻工艺或其组合。在示例中,使用等离子体蚀刻,蚀刻源气体使用HBr、Cl2和O2的混合物,源气体的流速在从5毫升/分钟至1000毫升/分钟的范围内。压力在1毫托至100毫托的范围内。蚀刻工艺的射频(RF)偏置电源可以为约30W到约400W。在另一实施例中,还可采用稀释的氢氟酸(DHF)对所述隔离层进行回蚀刻。示例性地,所述稀释的氢氟酸(DHF)的浓度体积百分比为1:50~1:1000。Next,
接着,在所述鳍片上形成栅极结构313,如图11所示。所述栅极结构313可以包括栅极介电层和栅极电极。栅极介电层包括介电材料如氧化硅、高k介电材料、其它合适的介电材料或其组合物。高k介电材料的示例包括HfO2、HfSiO、HfSiON、HfTaO、HfTiO、HfZrO等。栅极电极包括多晶硅和/或包含Al、Cu、Ti、Ta、W、Mo、TaN、NiSi、CoSi、TiN、WN、TiAl、TiAlN、TaCN、TaC、TaSiN的金属,其它导电材料,或其组合物。栅极结构可包括很多其它层如覆盖层、界面层、扩散层、阻挡层、硬掩模层、或其组合。通过合适的工艺如沉积、光刻图案化和蚀刻工艺形成栅极结构。沉积工艺例如化学气相沉积(CVD)、物理气相沉积(PVD)、原子层沉积(ALD)等。光刻图案化工艺包括光阻涂布(如旋转涂布)、软烘、掩模对齐、暴露、曝后烘、光阻显影、清洗、干燥(如硬烘干)、其它合适的工艺、或其组合。可选地,可通过其它的方法如无掩模光刻、电子束写入或离子束写入实施或代替光刻暴露工艺。蚀刻工艺包括干法蚀刻、湿法蚀刻和/或其它蚀刻方法。Next, a
需要注意的是,本实施例中还包括在鳍片的两端形成低掺杂源/漏极(LDD),然后形成重掺杂的源/漏极(未图示)的步骤。还可以执行后段工艺(BEOL)处理。例如,可以通过沉积和化学机械研磨在该结构上形成一层绝缘材料,通过光刻胶掩膜和刻蚀工艺在绝缘层中形成接触孔,填充该接触孔,形成金属互连等类似电连接结构等。It should be noted that this embodiment also includes the steps of forming low-doped source/drain (LDD) at both ends of the fin, and then forming heavily-doped source/drain (not shown). Back end of line (BEOL) processing can also be performed. For example, a layer of insulating material may be formed on the structure by deposition and chemical mechanical polishing, contact holes may be formed in the insulating layer by photoresist masking and etching processes, the contact holes may be filled, metal interconnections and the like may be formed for electrical connections structure, etc.
