Background technology
The applied environment of mos field effect transistor (MOSFET) is complicated day by day; Need under different voltage conditions, carry out work; Such as in memory peripheral circuit; Usually need a MOSFET under " shutoff " state, to drain and bear a higher voltage (like 12V), and grid all only bears normal operating voltage (like 3.3V) with drain electrode when " unlatching " state.When applying a high voltage in drain electrode, because gate-induced drain leaks (gate-induced-drain leakage GIDL) effect, drain electrode can produce very big leakage current, causes device power consumption to rise, and influences the working life of device.
The size of the leakage current that the GIDL effect causes has direct relation with near the thickness of the gate insulator dielectric layer of drain electrode, and the thickness of gate insulator dielectric layer is big more near the drain electrode, and the leakage current that the GIDL effect causes is more little.Therefore, in order to solve leakage problem, existing method is all used thicker gate insulator dielectric layer to whole M OSFET.But this method has shortcoming clearly, and after promptly the gate insulator medium thickness of MOSFET became greatly, grid was to the control ability variation of raceway groove, and threshold voltage raises, and causes the saturation current of device to reduce.In order to reach the driving force that needs, device needs very big area.

Embodiment
For clearer understanding technology contents of the present invention, the special specific embodiment of lifting also cooperates appended graphic explanation following.
See also Fig. 1; Fig. 1 is the MOSFET structure sketch map in the embodiment of the invention, and this mos field effect transistor comprises Semiconductor substrate 1, and said Semiconductor substrate 1 surface is provided with gate insulator dielectric layer 2; Said gate insulator dielectric layer 2 is the oxide of silicon, the nitrogen oxide of silicon; The dielectric layer of HfO2 or other high-ks, in the present embodiment, said gate insulator dielectric layer 2 is the oxide silicon dioxide of silicon.
Grid 3 is superimposed upon gate insulator dielectric layer 2 upper surfaces, and said grid 3 is a polysilicon gate.Gate insulator dielectric layer 2 upper surfaces in said grid 3 both sides are provided with grid curb wall 4, and source region 5 and drain region 6 are arranged on said grid 3 both sides, and said source region 5 is separated by channel region (indicating) with drain region 6.
Said gate insulator dielectric layer 2 is made up of two parts, and first 20 is near said drain region 6, and second portion 21 is near said source region 5, and the thickness of first 20 is greater than the thickness of second portion 21.First 20 and the said gate insulator dielectric layer 2 of second portion 21 one-body molded common formations; Wherein, First's 20 selectable thickness ranges are 1~50 nanometer, and second portion 21 selectable thickness ranges are 3~200 nanometers, and length range is 0.02~1 micron.
Because said first 20 is different with the thickness of second portion 21; Near the thinner thickness of the second portion 20 of source region 5, improve the control ability of 3 pairs of channel regions of said grid, threshold voltage reduces; Increase the saturation current of device, improved driving force device.Under the condition of the identical driving force of maintenance, the required chip area of device also is able to reduce.
Referring to shown in Figure 2, Fig. 2 is the sketch map that mos field effect transistor is opened in the embodiment of the invention.Mos field effect transistor in the present embodiment is applied in connects word line in the flush memory device; When memory cell being carried out " reading " operation; In the source region 5, to apply voltage respectively be 0V, 3.3V, 3.3V for drain region 6, grid 3; Can between raceway groove, form electric current, accomplish " reading " operation.Simultaneously,, improved the driving force of device, also improved device operation speed, improved the performance of device greatly owing to the thickness attenuation.
Because the leakage current that causes of the GIDL effect only thickness with near the gate insulator dielectric layer 2 in drain region is relevant; Thickness that promptly should the zone is big more; The leakage current that the GIDL effect causes is just more little, therefore, and in the present embodiment; First 20 near said drain region 6 is thicker, has well overcome the leakage current that the GIDL effect causes.
Referring to shown in Figure 3, Fig. 3 is the sketch map that mos field effect transistor turn-offs in the embodiment of the invention.When memory cell being carried out " wiping " operation, the drain electrode of the mos field effect transistor in the present embodiment need connect word line.The grid of the mos field effect transistor in the present embodiment and voltage that source electrode applies are 0V in this case, and transistor is " shutoff " state.But because " wiping " action need high voltage, drain electrode need be born the high pressure of 12V.Because near the thickness of the gate insulator dielectric layer 21 the drain electrode is thicker, can suppress the leakage current that the GIDL effect causes, thereby reduce the power consumption of circuit, and it is breakdown to prevent to drain.
The thickness various structure of this gate insulator dielectric layer first 20 and second portion 21 has been improved the performance of device greatly, can under the different voltages with different condition, work, and has also avoided increasing extra circuit or device, has simplified the design of circuit.
Between said source region 5 and the said channel region, be provided with lightly mixed drain area 7 (LDD) between said drain region 6 and the said raceway groove, the lightly mixed drain area 8 that forms between the lightly mixed drain area 7 that forms between said source region 5 and the said channel region and said drain region 6 and the said channel region has different doping conditions.In actual production process, can impose according to the use needs of device different doping contents, different ionic type, implant energy or arbitrarily wherein various combination form different lightly mixed drain areas.In the present embodiment, lightly mixed drain area 7 uses heavier doping content to reduce source region 5 and the series resistance that lightly mixed drain area 7 forms, and improves transistorized saturation current; Lightly mixed drain area 8 uses lighter doping content to improve the puncture voltage of drain region 6.
This LDD structure can reduce the drain terminal maximum field of device effectively, has effectively suppressed hot carrier's effect, thereby can slow down the degeneration of device, prolongs the useful life of device.
