技术领域technical field
本发明实施例涉及半导体制造领域,尤其涉及一种半导体结构及其形成方法。Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular, to a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same.
背景技术Background technique
在半导体制造中,随着超大规模集成电路的发展趋势,集成电路特征尺寸持续减小,为了适应更小的特征尺寸,金属-氧化物-半导体场效应晶体管(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor,MOSFET)的沟道长度也相应不断缩短。然而,随着器件沟道长度的缩短,器件源极与漏极间的距离也随之缩短,因此栅极结构对沟道的控制能力随之变差,栅极电压夹断(pinch off)沟道的难度也越来越大,使得亚阈值漏电(subthreshold leakage)现象,即所谓的短沟道效应(SCE:short-channel effects)更容易发生。In semiconductor manufacturing, with the development trend of ultra-large-scale integrated circuits, the feature size of integrated circuits continues to decrease. In order to adapt to smaller feature sizes, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor , MOSFET) channel length has been shortened accordingly. However, as the channel length of the device is shortened, the distance between the source and the drain of the device is also shortened, so the ability of the gate structure to control the channel becomes worse, and the gate voltage pinches off the channel. The channel becomes more and more difficult, making subthreshold leakage (subthreshold leakage), the so-called short-channel effect (SCE: short-channel effects) more likely to occur.
因此,为了减小短沟道效应的影响,半导体工艺逐渐开始从平面MOSFET向具有更高功效的三维立体式的晶体管过渡,如鳍式场效应晶体管(FinFET)。FinFET中,栅极结构至少可以从两侧对超薄体(鳍部)进行控制,与平面MOSFET相比,栅极结构对沟道的控制能力更强,能够很好的抑制短沟道效应;且FinFET相对于其他器件,与现有集成电路制造具有更好的兼容性。Therefore, in order to reduce the impact of the short channel effect, the semiconductor process gradually begins to transition from planar MOSFETs to three-dimensional transistors with higher efficiency, such as Fin Field Effect Transistors (FinFETs). In FinFET, the gate structure can control the ultra-thin body (fin) from at least two sides. Compared with the planar MOSFET, the gate structure has a stronger ability to control the channel and can well suppress the short channel effect; Moreover, compared with other devices, FinFET has better compatibility with existing integrated circuit manufacturing.
