Approaches are provided for forming a semiconductor device (e.g., a FET) having a multi-function layer (e.g., niobium carbide (NbC)) that serves as a work function layer and a gate metal layer in gate stacks of solid state applications. By introducing a single layer with multiple functions, total number of layers that needs processing (e.g., recessing) may be decreased. As such, the complexity of device integration and resulting complications may be reduced.

Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
  • This application is a divisional of, and claims the benefit of, co-pending and co-owned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/602,839, filed Sep. 4, 2012, having attorney docket number DU125, the entire contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
    • BACKGROUND
  • 1. Technical Field
  • This invention relates generally to the field of semiconductors and, more particularly, to approaches for incorporating niobium carbide (NbC) as a multi-function layer (e.g., a work function and a gate metal layer) into gate stacks that are used for field effect transistors (FET) in semiconductor devices.
  • 2. Related Art
  • In the semiconductor industry, transistors such as field effect transistors (FETs) are commonly utilized as integral parts of the devices. A FET may have both n-FET and p-FET components on which a set of gate stacks may be formed. In a typical assembly, these gate stacks may include various combinations of layers such as a high-k layer, work function (WF) layers such as titanium nitride (TiN) on p-FET and tantalum carbide (TaC) on n-FET, a gate metal such as tungsten (W) or aluminum (Al) and a capping layer. Moreover, different work function metals are typically required for n-FET versus p-FET gate stacks. Because the gate stacks may include different layers and/or compounds, various processing steps are generally required to form such devices. Such steps may include depositing layers, etching layers, forming recesses in layers to increase the volume to be filled by the gate metal, polishing layers, etc.
  • Challenges may exist, however, in that such integration schemes are often complicated and error prone. For example, it is difficult to recess a gate stack in which multiple layers need to be etched simultaneously. For example, a p-FET and/or n-FET gate stack will often require three or more layers to be etched simultaneously. When the recessing process is done unevenly, device errors may occur. As such, a need exists for a more simplified and reliable integration scheme.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

By introducing a single layer with multiple functions, the number of total layers needing processing (e.g., recessing) may be decreased. As such, the complexity of device integration and resulting complications may be reduced.

  • A second aspect of the present invention provides a method of forming a semiconductor device, comprising: applying a high-k dielectric layer and a work function (WF) metal layer over a p-FET portion and an n-FET portion of the semiconductor device; removing the WF metal layer from over the n-FET portion; recessing the high-k dielectric layer and the WF metal layer over the p-FET portion and the high-k dielectric layer over the n-FET portion; applying a glue layer over the WF metal layer of the p-FET portion and over the high-k layer of the n-FET portion; applying a multi-function layer including niobium carbide (NbC) over the glue layer of the p-FET portion and the n-FET portion; recessing the glue layer and the multifunction layer; and applying a cap layer over the recessed glue layer and multifunction layer.

Furthermore, such portions may include a set (i.e., one or more) of gate stacks having multiple layers (e.g., high-k layers, work function metal layers, seed/glue layers, cap layers, etc.) that are subject to various types of processing (e.g., depositing, etching, recessing, polishing, etc.). Along these lines, the term high-k layer refers to a material with a high dielectric constant and work function (WF) is defined as the amount of enegery that is required to remove an electron from the Fermi level of the solid to vacuum.
  • A common way is to etch away the part of WF metals and replace the etched part with a low resistivity metal such as W (tungsten) or Al (aluminum). The metal etching process should not attack high-k underneath WF metal.
  • FIGS. 1-6 generally show the progression of formation (i.e., integration scheme) of a semiconductor device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As depicted in FIG. 1, device 10 generally includes a p-FET portion 12A and an n-N-FET portion 12B separated by shallow trench isolation (STI) 14. A set of gate stacks 18A-B, separated by epitaxial regions 16A-B, are positioned on p-FET portion 12A and n-FET portion 12B, respectively. To construct gate stacks 18A-B, high-k layers 20A-B and WF (metal) layers (e.g., TiN) 22A-B are applied (e.g., via atomic layer deposition (ALD)) in trenches thereof.
  • As shown in FIG. 2, the WF layer 22B has been removed (e.g., etched away) from gate stack 18B. As such, gate stack 18A still includes high-k layer 20A and WF layer 22A, while gate stack 18B includes high-k layer 20B (WF layer 22B no longer present).
  • As shown in FIG. 3, a simultaneous recessing process will occur (e.g., via a mash etching process). Specifically, high-k layer 20A and WF layer 22A of gate stack 18A will be partially removed/recessed to yield a recess 26A. Similarly, high-k layer 20B of gate stack 18B will be removed/recessed to yield a recess 26B. It is understood that gate stacks 18A-B may be recessed substantially with respect to one another. Moreover, multiple layers 20A and 22A of gate stack 18A may be recessed simultaneously with respect to one another.
  • As shown in FIG. 4, multi-function layers 30A-B will be applied (e.g., via CVD, ALD, PVD etc.) to gate stacks 18A-B, respectively. Specifically, a glue/seed layer 28A will be applied over high-k layer 20A and WF layer 22A of gate stack 18A. Similarly, a glue/seed layer 28B will be applied over high-k layer 20B of gate stack 18B. Glue layers 28A-B will help multi-function layers 30A-B to adhere to gate stacks 18A-B. Moreover, glue layers 28A-B act as a diffusion barrier for materials that may be introduced during the deposition of multi-function layers 30A-B. Along these lines, the glue layers described herein may be TiN,TaN or the like. However, it is understood that the teachings recited herein are not intended to be limited to such compounds and other compounds may be utilized as a glue layer/diffusion barrier. Multi-function layers 30A-B are niobium carbide (NbC), which function as a WF (metal) layer for n-FET as well as a gate metal layer for both n-FET and p-FET. Such an implementation allows for the total number of layers to be reduced in device 10.
  • In any event, as shown in FIG. 5, glue layers 28A-B and multi-function layers 30A-B will then be partially removed/recessed (e.g., via a mask etching process) to yield a set of recesses 32A-B in gate stacks 18A-B. Similar to the recessing process shown and described in conjunction with FIG. 3, glue layers 28A-B and multi-function layers 30A-B of each gate stack 18A-B may be recessed simultaneously.
  • As then shown in FIG. 6, device 10 is shown after formation/application of cap layers 34A-B and polishing thereof (e.g., via chemical mechanical polishing (CMP)) over multi-function layers 30A-B, glue layers 28A-B, WF layer 22A, and high-k layers 20A-B. As further shown, device 10 further includes an oxide layer 36 as well as the aforementioned p-FET portion 12A, n-FET portion 12B, STI 14, and epitaxial regions 16A-B.
  • In various embodiments, design tools can be provided and configured to create the data sets used to pattern the semiconductor layers as described herein. For example data sets can be created to generate photomasks used during lithography operations to pattern the layers for structures as described herein. Such design tools can include a collection of one or more modules and can also include hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Thus, for example, a tool can be a collection of one or more software modules, hardware modules, software/hardware modules or any combination or permutation thereof. As another example, a tool can be a computing device or other appliance on which software runs or in which hardware is implemented. As used herein, a module might be implemented utilizing any form of hardware, software, or a combination thereof. For example, one or more processors, controllers, application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC), programmable logic arrays (PLA)s, logical components, software routines, or other mechanisms might be implemented to make up a module. In implementation, the various modules described herein might be implemented as discrete modules or the functions and features described can be shared in part or in total among one or more modules. In other words, as would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art after reading this description, the various features and functionality described herein may be implemented in any given application and can be implemented in one or more separate or shared modules in various combinations and permutations. Even though various features or elements of functionality may be individually described or claimed as separate modules, one of ordinary skill in the art will understand that these features and functionality can be shared among one or more common software and hardware elements, and such description shall not require or imply that separate hardware or software components are used to implement such features or functionality.
