Abstract
本发明提供一种应力增强的MOS晶体管(30)及其制造方法。于一个实施例中,该方法包括形成栅极电极(62),该栅极电极覆盖和界定于单晶半导体衬底(38)中的沟道区(68)。具有面对该沟道区之侧表面(78、80)之沟槽(72、74)被蚀刻入该单晶半导体衬底中且邻近该沟道区。沟槽被填满具有第一浓度的取代原子的第二单晶半导体材料(82、90)和具有第二浓度的取代原子之第三单晶半导体材料(88、100)。第二单晶半导体材料(82、90)外延生长成具有延着该侧表面之壁厚度足以施加较将由具有第二浓度的单晶半导体材料所施加应力(假如该沟槽仅被填满第三单晶半导体材料时)为大之应力于沟道区(68)。
Description
技术领域
本发明大体上系关于MOS晶体管及其制造方法,且尤系关于应力增强的MOS晶体管及此种具有邻近晶体管沟道之嵌入材料之晶体管之制造方法。
背景技术
现代集成电路(IC)主要藉由使用复数个互连接场效晶体管(FET)(亦称之为金属氧化物半导体场效晶体管(MOSFET),或简称为MOS晶体管)而实施。MOS晶体管包含作为控制电极之栅极电极(gateelectrode),和间隔开之源电极和汲电极,而电流可在其间流动。施加至栅极电极之控制电压控制通过源电极和汲电极之间的沟道之电流之流动。
IC之复杂性和结合入IC中之器件之数目持续增加。当IC中器件之数目增加时,个别器件之尺寸减小。于IC中器件之尺寸通常由最小特征尺寸(feature size)所表示,其为最小线宽(line width)或由电路设计规则所允许之最小间隔。当半导体工业进展至最小特征尺寸为45奈米(nm)和甚至更小时,个别器件之效能由于尺寸缩小(scaling)而劣化。当设计用来施行这些集成电路之新世代之集成电路和晶体管时,技术人员必须大幅地依赖非习知的组件以提升器件效能。
MOS晶体管之效能,如由其电流载送能力测量时,正比于晶体管沟道中之主要载子移动率。已知施加纵向应力(longitudinal stress)于MOS晶体管的沟道能增加该移动率;压缩的纵向应力增强主要载子电洞移动率,而拉伸的纵向应力增强主要载子电子移动率。已知例如藉由嵌入邻近该晶体管沟道的硅锗(即嵌入硅锗,eSiGe)而产生纵向压缩应力以增强于P沟道MOS(PMOS)晶体管中之电洞移动率。为了制造此种器件,沟槽或凹部(recess)被蚀刻入硅衬底中且于晶体管之源极和汲极区中,以及藉由使用SiGe之选择性外延生长而填满该沟槽。然而,仅仅增加eSiGe的锗含量以增加应力不会完全成功,因为增加的锗含量造成从嵌入区域的表面来的增加的SiGe损失、形成于嵌入区域上之金属硅化物之聚集而减少对源极和汲极区之接触电阻、以及当晶体管经受更多于制造IC过程中所遭遇之习知步骤时嵌入材料之增加之应力松弛。
因此,希望最佳化用来制造应力增强的MOS晶体管的方法。此外,希望提供最佳化之应力增强的MOS晶体管其避免习知晶体管制造所伴随之问题。再者,由后续之详细说明及所附之申请专利范围,结合所附之图式和前述技术领域和先前技术,则本发明之其它所希望之特征和特性将变得清楚。
发明内容
本发明提供一种具有增强的主要载子移动率(mobility)之应力增强的MOS晶体管。该应力增强的MOS晶体管包括具有表面的半导体衬底和位于该表面的沟道区。具有第一锗浓度的SiGe的第一区域系嵌入于半导体衬底中。第一区域具有底部和邻近该沟道区的侧部。具有少于该第一锗浓度的第二锗浓度的SiGe的第二区域系嵌入于该第一区域中,使得该侧部具有较该底部为大之厚度。
本发明提供一种用来制造应力增强的MOS晶体管的方法。依照本发明之一个实施例,该方法包括形成栅极电极(gate electrode),该栅极电极覆盖和界定于单晶半导体衬底中的沟道区。具有面对该沟道区之侧表面之沟槽被蚀刻入该单晶半导体衬底中且邻近该沟道区。沟槽被填满具有第一浓度的取代原子(substitutional atom)的第二单晶半导体材料和具有第二浓度的取代原子的第三单晶半导体材料。第二单晶半导体材料外延生长成具有延着该侧表面之壁厚度足以施加较将由具有第二浓度的单晶半导体材料所施加应力(若该沟槽仅被填满第三单晶半导体材料时)为大之应力于沟道区。

具体实施方式
下列之详细说明本质上仅为范例,并不意欲用来限制本发明或本发明之应用和使用。再者,本发明并不意欲受前面之技术领域、先前技术、发明内容、或下列之实施方式中所提出之任何表示或暗示理论所限制。
单晶硅(monocrystalline silicon)为使用于半导体工业用来制造半导体器件和集成电路最常见的半导体材料,其特征在于晶格常数,即硅晶体(crystal)之尺寸。藉由取代非硅之原子于晶格中,能够改变所得到的晶体尺寸和晶格常数。若较大的取代原子(譬如锗原子)加入至硅晶格中,则晶格常数增加且晶格常数之增加系正比于取代原子之浓度。相似情况,若较小的取代原子(譬如碳原子)加入至硅晶格中,则晶格常数减小。局部地加入大的取代原子至主(host)硅晶格中则于主晶格产生压缩应力(compressive stress),而加入小的取代原子至主硅晶格中则于主晶格产生拉伸应力(tensile stress)。
已知增加嵌入SiGe的锗含量则增加应力,该应力能够被施加于PMOS晶体管的沟道,并由此增加晶体管中之主要载子电洞之移动率。亦已知于嵌入SiGe材料的表面具有低浓度的锗避免某些由于在该表面具有高的锗浓度所招致之问题。已尝试藉由下列制程达成于eSiGe主体(bulk)中有高的锗浓度和锗之低表面浓度。沟槽被蚀刻入晶体管之于沟道二端之源极和汲极区中。然后藉由硅锗之选择性外延生长(epitaxialgrowth)制程填满这些沟道。于反应物流(reactant flow)中锗之最初浓度为高而引致高锗浓度SiGe之沉积。于经过外延生长周期之中途于反应物流中锗之浓度减少,而维持着减少浓度的流(flow)直到填满沟槽为止。结果为高锗浓度SiGe下层和低锗浓度SiGe层于该表面。虽然由此种制程产生之器件避免了会由高的锗浓度于SiGe的表面所遭受之问题,但是移动率增加不大于会以填满沟槽之均匀地低锗浓度嵌入SiGe所期望者。
于外延生长制程中,生长之材料层实质地呈现其正生长于其上的表面之形象。观察到不幸地,高锗浓度SiGe之选择性外延生长优先从沟槽之底部生长,而因此于沟槽之侧壁上SiGe膜之生长率(growth rate)为低,造成于侧壁上仅有高锗浓度SiGe之薄层。也就是说,外延生长优先集结于被发现在沟槽之底部的结晶结构上而非在侧壁结晶结构上。覆盖面向晶体管沟道的侧壁的SiGe膜的厚度在施加应力于沟道时为最重要,以及由习知制程所实现之厚度不足以达成所希望的沟道应力和所希望之移动率增加。提供依照本发明之各种实施例,提供MOS晶体管和制造此种器件的方法,其于邻近沟道之区域中达成高锗浓度SiGe之足够的厚度以最佳化沟道应力和移动率增加。
图1至图6显示依照本发明之各种实施例之受应力(stressed)MOS器件30及用于制造此种MOS器件的方法步骤之剖面图。于此例示实施例中,受应力MOS器件30藉由单一P沟道MOS(PMOS)晶体管所例示。从譬如器件30之受应力MOS器件所形成之集成电路能够包含大量之此种晶体管,以及亦可包含未受应力之PMOS晶体管及受应力和未受应力之N沟道MOS(NMOS)晶体管。
于MOS晶体管之制造之各种步骤为已知,而为了简洁之目的,许多习知的步骤于此处将仅简单提及,或将其整个省略而不提供已知之制程细节。虽然词汇“MOS器件”适当地指具有金属栅极电极和氧化物栅极绝缘体之器件,但是该词汇将用于整篇文章中以指任何包含导电栅极电极(不论金属或其它导电材料)的半导体器件,该导电栅极电极位于栅极绝缘体(不论氧化物或其它绝缘体)之上,而该栅极绝缘体依次位于半导体衬底之上。
如图1中所例示,依照本发明之实施例之受应力MOS晶体管30之制造开始于提供半导体衬底36,而此种晶体管被制造于该半导体衬底36中或上。于制造MOS晶体管30之初始步骤为习知,因此不说明其细节。半导体衬底较佳为具有(100)表面结晶方向(surface crystalorientation)的硅衬底,其中此处所用之词汇“硅衬底”和“硅层”包含典型用于半导体工业之相当纯的单晶硅材料以及与其它元素(譬如锗、碳等)混合的硅。下文中为了方便半导体衬底36将称为(但不限定为)硅衬底,虽然熟悉半导体技术者将了解到能够使用其它的半导体材料。硅衬底36可以是主体硅晶圆(未显示),但是较佳为在绝缘层40上之薄的单晶硅层38(一般已知为绝缘层上覆硅(silicon-on-insulator)或SOI),该绝缘层40依次由载体晶圆42所支撑。薄硅层38典型具有小于大约200奈米(nm)之厚度(取决于被执行之电路功能而定),以及于某些应用中较佳具有小于大约90奈米之厚度。薄硅层较佳具有至少大约5至40欧姆公分之电阻率。硅可以被N型或P型杂质掺杂,但是较佳为P型掺杂。典型为二氧化硅之介电绝缘层40较佳具有大约50至200奈米之厚度。
形成隔离区48,其延伸通过单晶硅层38至介电绝缘层40。隔离区较佳由众所周知的浅沟槽隔离(shallow trench isolation,STI)技术形成,其中沟槽被蚀刻入单晶硅层38中,沟槽被填满譬如沉积之二氧化硅之介电材料,以及藉由化学机械平面化法(chemical mechanicalplanarization,CMP)去除过多之二氧化硅。当需要时,STI区域48提供各种电路器件之间之电性隔离,这些电路器件将被形成于单晶硅层38中。于制造STI区域之前或较佳地于制造STI区域之后,能够藉由例如离子植入而杂质掺杂硅层38之选定部分。例如,N型井52能够被N型杂质掺杂以用于PMOS晶体管30之制造。
栅极绝缘体54之层形成于硅层38的表面56上,如图2中所示。栅极绝缘体可为于氧化环境中藉由加热硅衬底而形成之热生长的二氧化硅,或者可以是譬如氧化硅、氮化硅、譬如HfxSiyOz之高介电常数绝缘体、等等之沉积之绝缘体。沉积之绝缘体能够以已知的方法沉积,例如藉由化学气相沉积(CVD)、低压化学气相沉积(LPCVD)、半大气压化学气相沉积(semi-atmospheric chemical vapor deposition,SACVD)、或等离子体辅助化学气相沉积(plasma enhanced chemical vapordeposition,PECVD)。此处显示之栅极绝缘体54为热生长之二氧化硅层,其仅生长在硅层38的表面56上。栅极绝缘体材料典型为1至10奈米厚,而较佳具有1至2奈米之厚度。依照本发明之一个实施例,栅极电极形成材料58之层,较佳是多晶硅层,系沉积于栅极绝缘体之层上。亦可沉积譬如金属和金属硅化物之其它导电栅极电极形成材料(以材料本身或具有适当的杂质掺杂能设定晶体管之所需临限电压为条件)。下文中栅极电极形成材料将称为多晶硅,虽然熟悉此项技术者将了解到亦可使用其它的材料。若栅极电极材料为多晶硅,则藉由硅烷(silane)之氢还原作用使用LPCVD将该材料典型沉积至大约50至200奈米之厚度,而较佳至大约100奈米之厚度。多晶硅层较佳沉积为非掺杂多晶硅,并后续藉由离子植入而被杂质掺杂。譬如氮化硅层之硬屏蔽材料60之层沉积在多晶硅栅极电极形成材料之上。该屏蔽材料之层(若为氮化硅)能藉由例如PECVD而由二氯硅烷(dichlorosilane)和氨(ammonia)之反应而沉积至大约30至50奈米之厚度。熟悉此项技术者将了解到除了氮化硅之其它介电材料能沉积作为硬屏蔽材料。
如图3中所示,栅极电极形成材料58和硬屏蔽材料以光学微影方式被图案化(pattern)并蚀刻以形成由硬屏蔽材料所覆盖之栅极电极62。能藉由例如于Cl和HBr/O2化学品(chemistry)中之等离子体蚀刻而蚀刻多晶硅于所希望之图案,以及能藉由例如于CHF3、CF4、或SF6化学品中之等离子体蚀刻而蚀刻硬屏蔽。在图案化栅极电极之后,依照本发明之一个实施例,氧化硅薄层64被热生长于栅极电极62之相对侧壁65和66上。薄氧化物能够具有例如大约2至3奈米之厚度。栅极电极62之形成界定沟道区68为在栅极电极下方之薄硅层38的表面的部分。较佳情况是沟道沿着【110】晶向(crystal direction)被定向,而使得晶体管中之电流流动将朝向【110】晶向。薄氧化物层64提供衬里(liner)以分隔多晶硅栅极电极与随后沉积之间隔件形成材料。
依照本发明之一个实施例的方法继续,全面性沉积(blanket deposit)氮化硅或其它间隔件形成材料(未图标)之层和各向异性(anisotropically)蚀刻该层以形成覆盖相对侧壁65和66上之二氧化硅薄层64的间隔件70(如图4中所示)。氮化硅层沉积至大约80至250奈米之厚度,较佳藉由使用二氯硅烷和氨作为反应物的LPCVD。侧壁间隔件能够例如藉由使用CF4或CHF3化学品之反应性离子蚀刻(reactive ion etching,RIE)而被各向异性蚀刻。使用间隔件70、栅极电极62、和STI 48作为屏蔽而蚀刻凹部72和74入薄硅层38中。因为侧壁间隔件作为蚀刻屏蔽,因此凹部自行对准于栅极电极62之侧壁65和66及沟道68,并且与栅极电极隔开实质相等于侧壁间隔件之厚度之距离(如箭号69所表示)。例如藉由使用HBr/O2化学物之反应性离子蚀刻(RIE)作各向异性蚀刻凹部72和74至大约400至600奈米之深度(如箭号75所表示)。至少硅层38之薄部分留在沟槽之底表面76下方。
沟槽72和74具有侧表面78和80,分别地面对沟道68。底表面76实质地平行于薄硅层38的表面,并且具有和薄硅层38的表面56相同的结晶方向。底表面76因此位于沿着(100)晶面(crystal plane)。由于沟道68定向于【110】晶向和侧表面78和80实质垂直于表面56,这些侧表面位于沿着(011)晶面。依照本发明之实施例,藉由选择性外延生长制程将沟槽72和74填满嵌入的SiGe 82,该选择性外延生长制程提供(011)晶面之生长率高于(100)晶面之生长率。该选择性外延生长集结于侧表面上及于底表面上,但是能够以已知之方式藉由于外延生长期间调整生长状况(譬如反应物流、生长温度、生长压力、等等,例如于由Rai-Choudhury,P.、Schroder,D.K发表于电化学协会期刊(Journalof the Electrochemical Society)1973年5月,第120册,第5号,第664至668页之“SELECTIVE SILICON EPITAXY AND ORIENTATIONDEPENDENCE OF GROWTH)”中讨论者而于(011)晶面上达成较高生长率。嵌入的SiGe 82的外延生长继续,以部分填满沟槽72和74(如图5中所示)。嵌入的SiGe 82生长成具有高浓度的锗,较佳大约25至40原子百分比锗之间。以此种方式生长之嵌入的SiGe 82于侧表面78和80上生长高锗浓度SiGe之层84较生长于底表面76上之层86为厚。较佳的情况是于侧表面78和80上之高锗含量SiGe具有至少10至30奈米之厚度。
改变选择性外延生长状况以减少锗含量,以及沟槽72和74之其余部分被填满低浓度嵌入的SiGe 88(如图6中所示)。较佳的情况是嵌入的SiGe 88具有大约0至20原子百分比锗的锗浓度。沟槽72和74因此被填满嵌入的SiGe,该嵌入的SiGe具有沿着面对沟道68之侧表面之高锗浓度的厚壁和低锗浓度的表面。
依照本发明之进一步实施例,例示于图5和图6中之结构藉由于具有垂直(亦即,实质垂直于表面56)电位偏压的等离子体环境中外延生长高锗浓度嵌入的SiGe而达成。朝垂直方向的外延生长率(其为于底表面76上之生长率)将藉由等离子体蚀刻成分而降低。于侧表面上生长高锗浓度SiGe之所希望之厚度后,能够改变外延生长状况以降低沟槽再填满之低锗浓度部分的锗浓度。低锗含量部分之生长能够用等离子体环境或不用等离子体环境完成。
依照本发明之进一步实施例,达成所希望之低浓度锗SiGe的表面和沿着面对晶体管沟道之沟槽之侧表面之高锗浓度SiGe之充分厚壁以施加较由低锗浓度SiGe单独施加于沟道之应力为大之应力之最后结果(如图7至图9结合图1至图4中所示)。依照本发明之此实施例的方法开始与图1至图4中所示相同步骤。如图7中所示,沟槽72和74藉由高锗浓度SiGe层90(较佳大约25至40原子百分比锗)之选择性外延生长而被再填满。
方法继续,全面性沉积氮化硅或其它间隔件形成材料(未图标)之层,以覆盖栅极电极62、侧壁间隔件70、和嵌入的SiGe 90。间隔件材料之层能够藉由例如LPCVD而沉积至至少10至30奈米之厚度。间隔件材料之层被例如用RIE非等向性蚀刻,以形成覆盖侧壁间隔件70的侧壁间隔件92。于替代实施例(未图标)中,于沉积该间隔件材料之层前,能去除侧壁间隔件70,该间隔件材料能沉积至大约30至40奈米之厚度,以及能够形成具有30至40奈米厚度之单一侧壁间隔件。不管是使用二个侧壁间隔件或一个较厚侧壁间隔件,该侧壁间隔件、栅极电极、和STI被用作为蚀刻屏蔽以及沟槽94和96被蚀刻入嵌入的SiGe90中(如图8所示)。沟槽94和96能藉由反应性离子蚀刻而被蚀刻至大约15至25奈米之深度(如箭号95所表示)。沟槽94和96自行对准于沟道68,并且与该沟道隔开有间隔件之宽度(如箭号97所表示)。
如图9中所例示,沟槽94和96被再填满选择性生长之低锗浓度外延SiGe 100,较佳具有大约0至20原子百分比的锗浓度。相似于前面的实施例,晶体管具有低锗浓度SiGe表面98和面对沟道68之高锗浓度SiGe之厚壁。高锗浓度SiGe具有足够的厚度以施加较单独由低锗浓度SiGe所施加之应力更多的应力于晶体管的沟道。
虽然未例示,但是图6和图9中所示之结构能用习知的方法完成。习知的步骤包括,例如,去除侧壁间隔件70、92并用单一永久侧壁间隔件替代他们。永久侧壁间隔件用作为离子植入屏蔽,并且导电率决定离子(conductivity determining ion)被植入于栅极电极之任一侧上的硅或SiGe中以形成源极和汲极区域。对于PMOS晶体管,导电率离子能够是硼离子。熟悉此项技术者将了解到可使用多于一组之侧壁间隔件,以及可实施多于一次之离子植入以产生源极和汲极延伸区、产生晕圈植入物(halo implant)、设定临限电压、等等。侧壁间隔件亦能用来形成对源极和汲极区域之自行对准之金属硅化物接点(contact)。沉积并加热硅化物形成金属之层以引致金属与暴露的硅或SiGe反应以形成金属硅化物。不与暴露的硅接触之金属(譬如沉积于侧壁间隔件或STI上之金属)不反应并能藉由在H2O2/H2SO4或HNO3/HCL溶液中蚀刻而去除。于形成受应力MOS晶体管中,譬如受应力氮化硅之应力衬里层可沉积在栅极电极和金属硅化物接点之上。于沉积应力衬里之后接着沉积介电层、平面化介电层、以及蚀刻接触开口穿过介电层至金属硅化物接点。然后能藉由形成在接触开口中之接触插塞(plug)和藉由互连接金属沉积和图案化而制成对源极和汲极区域之电接点。
上述实施例已说明用于制造应力增强的PMOS晶体管的方法。相似的方法可用来制造应力增强的NMOS晶体管,并且任一结构或二者结构之制造可整合成用于制造包含受应力的和非受应力的PMOS和NMOS晶体管二者之CMOS集成电路的方法。制造应力增强的NMOS晶体管相似于上述的方法,除了薄硅层被P型杂质掺杂、源极和汲极区域用N型导电率决定离子杂质掺杂、和外延生长于源极和汲极区域中之嵌入之材料应具有譬如碳之取代原子而使得生长材料之晶格常数小于主材料之晶格常数以在晶体管沟道上产生纵向拉张应力(tensionalstress)。
虽然于本发明之上述详细说明中已提出至少一个范例实施例,但是应该了解到存在有许多之变化。亦应该了解到该范例实施例或诸范例实施例只是例子,而不意欲限制本发明之范围、应用、或组构于任何方式。而是,以上之详细说明将提供熟悉此项技术者施行本发明之该范例实施例或诸范例实施例之方便的路途指引。应了解到在组件之功能和配置可以作各种之改变而不脱离所附之申请专利范围与其合法之均等者提出之本发明之范围。
