In step S1, referring to fig. 2, a substrate 100 is provided, and a gate 120 is formed on the substrate 100.
The substrate 100 may be made of silicon, germanium, silicon carbide, gallium arsenide, indium gallium arsenide, or the like, or may be made of silicon on insulator or germanium on insulator; or may be other materials such as group III-V compounds such as gallium arsenide. In the present embodiment, the material of the substrate 100 is silicon, and is preferably monocrystalline silicon.
A second gate oxide layer 110 is also formed on the substrate 100, the second gate oxide layer 110 is located between the substrate 100 and the gate 120, and the size of the second gate oxide layer 110 is consistent with that of the gate 120. The material of the second gate oxide layer 110 includes silicon oxide, and the material of the gate electrode 120 includes polysilicon, but is not limited thereto.
Specifically, first, a gate oxide layer (not shown) and a gate material layer (not shown) are sequentially formed on the substrate 100; then, forming a mask layer (not shown) on the gate material layer, where the mask layer may be made of silicon nitride, for example, forming a photoresist layer on the mask layer, exposing and developing the photoresist layer to form a patterned photoresist layer, and etching the mask layer with the patterned photoresist layer as a mask to form a patterned mask layer; sequentially etching the gate material layer and the gate oxide material layer by taking the patterned mask layer as a mask until the substrate 100 is exposed to form a second gate oxide layer 110 and a gate 120; and finally, removing the patterned photoresist layer and the patterned mask layer, wherein the patterned photoresist layer can be directly removed after the patterned mask layer is formed.
In this embodiment, the gate oxide layer and the gate material layer are sequentially formed and then etched to form the gate electrode 120 and the second gate oxide layer 110. In other embodiments, the gate oxide material layer may be formed and then directly etched to form the second gate oxide layer 110, and then a gate material layer is formed, where the gate material layer covers the second gate oxide layer 110 and the substrate 100, and then the gate material layer is etched to form the gate 120 on the second gate oxide layer 110, which is not limited in this disclosure.
In this embodiment, the gate oxide material layer may be formed by a thermal oxidation method, the gate material layer may be formed by a chemical vapor deposition method, and of course, the gate oxide material layer and the gate material layer may also be formed by other methods known to those skilled in the art. The gate material layer and the gate oxide material layer may be etched by an isotropic method, for example, plasma chemical etching, or may be etched by an anisotropic method, for example, plasma physical etching, which is not limited in the present invention.
In this embodiment, a plurality of gate electrodes 120 may be formed as required, and fig. 3 illustrates two gate electrodes 120 as an example, and a second gate oxide layer 110 is formed between each gate electrode 120 and the substrate 100.
In step S2, referring to fig. 4, a first gate oxide layer 130 is formed on the top and sidewalls of the gate 120.
Specifically, first, the first gate oxide layer 130 may be formed by a wet oxidation method, a dry oxidation method or a chemical vapor deposition method, where the first gate oxide layer 130 covers the substrate 100 and the top and the sidewall of the gate 120, and then, the first gate oxide layer 130 on the substrate 100 is removed, and the first gate oxide layer 130 on the top and the sidewall of the gate 120 is remained, so as to form the structure shown in fig. 4.
The material of the first gate oxide layer 130 is preferably silicon oxide. The first gate oxide layer 130 is used for protecting the gate electrode 120, and is used as an isolation window between the substrate 100 and the gate electrode 120 when the epitaxial material layer 140 is subsequently epitaxially grown, and simultaneously, the first gate oxide layer 130 and the second gate oxide layer 110 are used as gate oxide layers of subsequent trench type gate electrodes.
In step S3, please refer to fig. 6, an epitaxial layer 150 is formed, wherein the epitaxial layer 150 is located on the substrate 100 at two sides of the gate 120.
First, the surface of the substrate 100 is pretreated and passivated by RCA standard cleaning. RCA is a commonly used wet chemical cleaning method, which was proposed in 1965 by Kern and Puotinen et al, princeton RCA laboratories, N.J.. The RCA standard cleaning method generally removes organic contaminants on the surface of the substrate 100 first, then dissolves an oxide film, and finally removes contaminants of particles, metals, etc., while passivating the surface of the substrate 100.
Then, referring to fig. 5, an epitaxial material layer 140 is formed, wherein the epitaxial material layer 140 covers the substrate 100 and the gate 120. Illustratively, the Epitaxial material layer 140 may be formed by an Epitaxial Growth method (Epitaxial Growth), the Epitaxial material layer 140 on the substrate 100 is monocrystalline silicon, and the Epitaxial material layer 140 on the top of the gate 120 formed due to the different crystal orientations is polycrystalline silicon. Then, part of the epitaxial material layer 140 is removed until the first gate oxide layer 130 is exposed, and the remaining epitaxial material layer 140 serves as an epitaxial layer 150, so as to form the structure shown in fig. 6. The epitaxial material layer 140 on the top of the gate 120 is removed, the epitaxial layer 150 is formed on the substrate 100 by an epitaxial growth method, the epitaxial layer 150 and the substrate 100 are made of the same material, and are preferably made of monocrystalline silicon, and the sidewall and the bottom of the gate 120 are surrounded by the epitaxial layer 150 and the substrate 100, thereby forming a trench gate.
A planarization process may be used to remove a portion of the epitaxial material layer 140, for example, by performing a chemical mechanical polishing on the epitaxial material layer 140 until the first gate oxide layer 130 is exposed. Alternatively, an etching process may be used to remove a portion of the epitaxial material layer 140 until the first gate oxide layer 130 is exposed, which is not limited in the present invention.
In the method for manufacturing the trench gate provided by the invention, the gate 120 is formed on the substrate 100 at first, then the first gate oxide layer 130 is formed on the top and the side wall of the gate 120, and then the epitaxial layer 150 is formed on the substrate 100 at two sides of the gate 120, so that the side wall and the bottom of the gate 120 are surrounded by the epitaxial layer 150 and the substrate 100, thereby forming the trench gate.
In this embodiment, before forming the gate 120 on the substrate 100, the manufacturing method further includes: the substrate 100 is ion implanted to form a drain region (not shown) on a side of the substrate 100 away from the gate electrode 120. Taking the surface of the substrate 100 on which the gate electrode 120 is formed as a front surface and the opposite surface as a back surface, first performing ion implantation on the back surface of the substrate 100 to form a drain region, and then forming the second gate oxide layer 110 and the gate electrode 120 on the front surface of the substrate 100, of course, after forming the drain region, before forming the second gate oxide layer 110, or before forming the drain region, ion implantation may also be performed on the front surface or the back surface of the substrate 100, so that the substrate 100 is an N-type substrate, for example, an N + substrate. After the epitaxial layer 150 is formed, ion implantation may be performed on the epitaxial layer 150 to form source regions on both sides of the gate 120.
Different reaction gases may be introduced during the process of forming the epitaxial material layer 140 so that the epitaxial material layer 140 itself has specific P or N type conductor characteristics. Or after the epitaxial layer 150 is finally formed, ion implantation is performed on the epitaxial layer 150, so that the epitaxial layer 150 is a P-type epitaxial layer or an N-type epitaxial layer. For example, in this embodiment, the bottom of the epitaxial layer 150 (i.e., the region surrounding the bottom and the bottom of the sidewall of the gate 120) is an N-type epitaxial layer, a P-well region is formed in the middle of the epitaxial layer 150 (i.e., the region surrounding the middle of the sidewall of the gate 120), and then a source region (i.e., the region surrounding the top of the sidewall of the gate 120) is formed on the P-well region.
Correspondingly, the invention also provides a trench type grid which is manufactured by adopting the manufacturing method of the trench type grid. Referring to fig. 6, the trench gate includes:
a substrate 100;
an epitaxial layer 150 on the substrate 100;
a trench in the epitaxial layer 150, the trench exposing the substrate 100;
a second gate oxide layer 110 located at the bottom of the trench;
a first gate oxide layer 130 on the sidewall and the top of the trench;
and the gate 120 is positioned in the groove and is surrounded by the first gate oxide layer 130 and the second gate oxide layer 110.
As can be seen from fig. 6, a trench is formed in the epitaxial layer 150, and the gate 120 is located in the trench to form a trench gate, that is, the structure of the trench gate manufactured by the method for manufacturing a trench gate according to the present invention is the same as the structure of the trench gate manufactured by the method for forming a trench by etching an epitaxial layer first and then forming a gate in the trench in the prior art. However, in the method for manufacturing the trench gate according to the present invention, the gate 120 is formed first, and then the epitaxial layer 150 surrounding the sidewall of the gate 120 is formed, and the trench is not required to be formed and then filled.
In summary, in the trench gate and the method for manufacturing the same provided by the present invention, the gate is formed on the substrate, the first gate oxide layer is formed on the top and the side wall of the gate, and then the epitaxial layer is formed on the substrate on both sides of the gate, so that the side wall and the bottom of the gate are surrounded by the epitaxial layer and the substrate, thereby forming the trench gate.
