Germanium silicon Bi-CMOS device preparation technology
Technical field
The present invention relates to the semiconductor integrated circuit technique field, relate in particular to the technology integrating method of germanium silicon Bi-CMOS in the field of semiconductor technology (Bipolar Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor) device.
Background technology
In semiconductor was made, because the Si/Ge band gap is littler than Si, electrons/was faster to producing recombination velocity, can be applied to high speed device.Si/Ge device technology and existing Si ic process compatibility are strong simultaneously.Germanium silicon bipolar (Bipolar) device is a kind of analogue device relatively more commonly used.In order to improve integrated level, people integrate corresponding bipolar device and metal oxide compensated semiconductor (CMOS) device simultaneously, form germanium silicon Bi-CMOS device, are widely used as a kind of analogue device commonly used.
Because simultaneously integrated two kinds of technologies in the germanium silicon Bi-CMOS device, the device that characteristic difference is very big, therefore in the technological process of reality, how to form different devices, how to reduce that interacting of technology is the core process integrated approach of this device between the different components.Carry out high temperature germanium silicon bipolar device technology earlier, form cmos device then, forming the germanium silicon bipolar device at last is wherein a kind of method relatively more commonly used.
No matter take which kind of method, how to form cmos device side wall and blocking layer of metal silicide in the germanium silicon Bi-CMOS device and be one of core procedure that different technology integrating methods need consider, the basic step of its common process is as follows:
(1) media coating deposition; (2) etching forms side wall comprehensively; (3) blocking layer of metal silicide deposition; (4) use the light shield of blocking layer of metal silicide to expose, form the blocking layer of metal silicide figure; (5) etching is removed the media coating at place, non-metallic suicides barrier layer; (6) media coating of growth protection cmos device; (7) the Si/Ge vitellarium is opened in photoetching, etching; (8) follow-up Si/Ge device forms technology.
In the prior art, the technology of formation side wall as shown in Figure 1.Comprise buried regions 2 at germanium silicon bi-pole area, deep trench isolation 1 separates epitaxial loayer 7, comprises the collector electrode 3 of device, and shallow-trench isolation 4 also comprises grid 8 in the middle of source-drain area 5.At first, shown in Fig. 1 (a), at the thicker media coating of the comprehensive deposition rate of germanium silicon bi-pole area and CMOS district; Shown in Fig. 1 (b), by the mode of no light shield dielectric layer is carried out direct etching then, utilize the thicker anisotropic character of side direction deposition medium film, the media coating that other are regional is removed when forming side wall 8; Then, growth blocking layer of metal silicide 6 shown in Fig. 1 (c), and carry out chemical wet etching is opened and need be carried out metal silicide and form the zone, keeps other regional media coatings, forms the blocking layer of metal silicide 6 shown in Fig. 1 (d); Then, carry out follow-up technological process.
Subsequent technique, as shown in Figure 2.At first, represented as Fig. 2 (a), on the basis of above-mentioned technology, comprehensively deposition layer protective layer 10 covers All Ranges above germanium silicon bi-pole area and CMOS district, and this protective layer is generally SiO
2Or SiN, or Si, N, the mixture of O (as SiON) perhaps is doping N, B, P, the SiO of materials such as F
2, this of formation layer protective layer makes that all processing steps can not touch the CMOS zone in the process that the Si/Ge device forms; Then, shown in Fig. 2 (b), adopt photoetching process, open the Si/Ge zone with a light shield, then, etching is removed all levels of silicon face, and the photoresist among Fig. 2 (b) is the protective layer of cmos device, can form the back at the Si/Ge device and Remove All; Then, remove the structure of photoresist formation shown in Fig. 2 (c) among Fig. 2 (b), carry out follow-up Si/Ge device and form technology
This existing common processes step is very loaded down with trivial details, causes the flow time of germanium silicon Bi-CMOS device and production cost all very high, and positive photoresist forms small developing defect easily for the large area exposure zone in this technology.For common non-Si/Ge device, design principle from blocking layer of metal silicide, the commonplace components blocking layer of metal silicide zone of opening if desired all is the zone that will form metal silicide, therefore from the circuit board area of pictural surface, the area of opening is very little, can not have the large area exposure zone.Simultaneously for commonplace components, follow-up technology is used Ti, metal electrode material such as Co at high temperature form the node of metallic compound as line with Si, even therefore exist small developing defect also can not influence the material character of the metal suicide electrodes of final formation.But when the Si/Ge device is formed; in the Si/Ge district in order to remove protective layer; carry out follow-up Si/Ge epitaxial growth; this moment is from domain; can open all Si/Ge device areas; and therefore the area of Si/Ge device needs large area exposure much larger than CMOS, is easy to generate developing defect this moment.And follow-up Si/Ge epitaxy technique is a kind of very strict molecule epitaxial growth along the crystal orientation, and any minute defects all can cause lattice defect to cause device property to change.Therefore for needing extra cleaning step to remove this type of tiny flaw in the common Si/Ge technology.
