The transistorized method of a kind of making FinFET
Technical field
The present invention relates to the method for a kind of making FinFET (fin-shaped field effect transistor).
Background technology
Since the integrated circuit invention, its performance steadily improves always.The raising of performance mainly is to realize by the size of constantly dwindling integrated circuit (IC)-components.At present, the characteristic size of integrated circuit (IC)-components (MOSFET) has narrowed down to nanoscale.Under this yardstick, the various basic restrictions with reality begin to occur, and make the development that is based upon the integrated circuit technique on the silicon planar CMOS technology just suffer unprecedented challenge.It is generally acknowledged that through great efforts, the CMOS technology still might be advanced to 20 nanometers even 10 nm technology node, but after 45 nanometer nodes, traditional planar CMOS technology will be difficult to further develop, new technology must produce in good time.In the middle of the various new technologies that proposed, multiple-grid MOS device technology is considered to be hopeful most the technology that is applied after inferior 45 nanometer nodes.Compare with the single gate device of tradition, the multiple-grid device has stronger short channel and suppresses ability, better subthreshold characteristic, higher driving force and can bring higher current densities.
At present, FinFET (fin-shaped field effect transistor) device can be realized by the planar CMOS technology of routine because of its self-alignment structure, thereby is become most promising multiple-grid device.FinFET structurally can be divided into double grid FinFET and three gate FinFETs.Concerning double grid FinFET, for obtaining acceptable device performance, the thickness that requires its Fin is 1/2~1/3 of grid length, and like this, the level of microfabrication must develop in advance significantly.On the other hand, with regard to three gate FinFETs, because three faces of Fin body all are subjected to the control of gate electrode, ought to have stronger short channel control ability, therefore the thickness of Fin body can be worked as with the grid appearance or is bigger, (minimum) characteristic size that is device is still long for grid, and the microfabrication level is not proposed extraordinary requirement, thereby more compatible with the traditional cmos process technology.Yet, theoretical and experimental study shows that all under channel doping concentration condition with higher, three gate FinFETs have presented more good short-channel properties really, but at raceway groove is under the situation of light (nothing) doping, and three grid structures are not compared with double-gate structure and significantly improved.And under the nanoscale situation, for fear of the dispersion of the discrete device threshold voltage that causes of amount of impurities, the MOS device can not adopt highly doped raceway groove, promptly must adopt light (nothing) doped channel.In addition, under the situation of identical channel area, the device of three grid structures is than double-gate structure, even the device of single grid structure takies more chip area.Therefore, comprehensive, double grid FinFET is preferable new device structure.
Although it seems that at present double grid FinFET more promises to be follow-on integrated circuit (IC)-components than three gate FinFETs, before entering practicability, must solve some crucial technical barriers.The processing of ultra-thin Fin body is exactly one of topmost difficult problem.The Experiment Preparation technology of being reported at present all can not become big production technology.The manufacture method of the Fin body of being demonstrated is so far normally passed through certain means again on the basis of photoetching, manage as litho pattern being carried out districts such as ashing (Ashing), to reach further dwindling of figure.This technology can not be used for the making of circuit because the uniformity of the descriptive geometry size that forms and repeatability are very poor.Side wall figure transfer technology (spacer imagetransfer) can be used to make individual devices though be a kind of easy nanoscale process technology, and this technology can produce numerous parasitic figures, thereby can not be used for the making of circuit.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide the transistorized method of a kind of making FinFET.
The transistorized method of making FinFET provided by the present invention comprises the steps:
1) selecting the crystal orientation for use is that the SOI wafer of (110) is a backing material, at substrate surface growth one deck film dielectric layer, after the photoetching, corrodes the semiconductor layer of described soi wafer with anisotropic etchant, and it is smooth and perpendicular to the semiconductor bar on surface to form a side; Then, the mid portion to described semiconductor bar carries out heavy doping;
2) be substrate with described soi wafer, the epitaxial loayer of respectively growing in the side of described semiconductor bar;
3) erode the film dielectric layer at described semiconductor bar top, manifest the top of semiconductor bar self; Then, erode the middle heavy doping part of described semiconductor bar, keep the unadulterated zone of epitaxial loayer and two ends of described semiconductor bar both sides, form two ultra-thin Fin bodies, the zone at described semiconductor bar two ends will become transistorized source region of FinFET and drain region respectively;

Step 2) described epitaxial loayer is the non-impurity-doped silicon fiml, and thickness is the 10-50 nanometer.
The film dielectric layer that step 3) erodes described semiconductor bar top adopts the silica erosion liquid (BOE solution) of buffering to corrode; Erode the middle heavy doping of described semiconductor bar and partly adopt the corrosive liquid corrosion, described corrosive liquid is by 40%HF, 70%HNO

In doping process of the present invention, the used dopant of preparation N type device is a N type impurity, as V group elements such as arsenic, phosphorus; The used dopant of preparation P type device is a p type impurity, as III family elements such as boron, galliums.
Advantage of the present invention and good effect: the thickness of Fin body must be 1/2~1/3 of grid length in the FinFET device, but, the minimum feature size that the advanced CMOS technology of each up-to-date release of generation can be processed is the length of grid normally, therefore can not satisfy the much smaller Fin body processing of size.In the technical scheme that the present invention proposes, the processing of Fin body is not subjected to the restriction of photoetching and lithographic technique level, makes FinFET technology and main stream of CMOS technology compatible fully; Secondly, the thickness of Fin body determines by epitaxy technique, so the uniformity of the uniformity of Fin body thickness, Fin bodily form looks all can improve a lot and improve; Moreover, as the side of the semiconductor bar of epitaxial substrate require smooth and as far as possible with Surface Vertical, so just can obtain high-quality epitaxial loayer.The side that conventional lithographic method forms is general more coarse, and is difficult to fully vertical with the surface.In technical solution of the present invention, owing to adopted the anisotropic etch of high selection ratio, the side of formed semiconductor bar is vertical naturally and surperficial near minute surface, promotes the performance of FinFET device.
