In the scaled process of device; Drain voltage does not reduce thereupon; This just causes the increase of the channel region electric field between source-drain electrode, and under the highfield effect, electronics can accelerate to the speed than much higher times of heat movement speed between twice collision; Owing to kinetic energy is called as hot electron very greatly, thereby cause thermoelectronic effect (hot electron effect).This effect belongs to the small-size effect of device, can cause that hot electron injects to gate dielectric layer, forms gate electrode electric current and substrate current, influences the reliability of device and circuit.
In order to overcome thermoelectronic effect, have multiplely to the improving one's methods of mos transistor structure, for example two injecting structure, buried channel structure, discrete grid structures, bury drain structure etc.; Wherein study morely and practical value is bigger a kind of be lightly doped drain (lightly doped drain:LDD) structure.The effect of lightly doped drain is to reduce electric field, can significantly improve thermoelectronic effect.
Although the LDD structure has significant improvement effect to thermoelectronic effect, also there are some shortcomings.Doping content such as the LDD structure is lower, causes the resistance between source/drain electrode to increase, and saturation current is reduced, and then cause the decline of device reaction speed.In addition, the LDD structure also makes the manufacturing process of MOS transistor more complicated.
In integrated circuit, the MOS transistor of two common sources is a kind of comparatively common device architectures, and generally, the LDD structure all exists in source/drain electrode.In the prior art, the manufacturing with MOS transistor of common source configuration mainly comprises following flow process (like Fig. 1~shown in Figure 5): with reference to Fig. 1, at first on Semiconductor substrate 100, form gate dielectric layer 110 and gate electrode 120 successively; With reference to Fig. 2, carry out the LDD ion and inject, form common source district 130 and drain region 140a, 140b, and the injection ion is spread in said Semiconductor substrate 100 through annealing process; With reference to Fig. 3, form side wall 150 in said gate electrode 120 both sides; With reference to Fig. 4, carry out source/drain electrode and inject, form device architecture as shown in Figure 5.In above technology; The LDD structure is formed at common source district 130 and drain region 140a, 140b simultaneously, and because the annealing effect, the ion in the LDD structure can spread; Make effective channel length much smaller than the physical width of gate electrode 120, cause short-channel effect easily.

Embodiment
For make above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be more obviously understandable, does detailed explanation below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing specific embodiments of the invention.
Set forth detail in the following description so that make much of the present invention.But the present invention can be different from alternate manner described here and implements with multiple, and those skilled in the art can do similar popularization under the situation of intension of the present invention.Therefore the present invention does not receive the restriction of following disclosed specific embodiment.
Method provided by the invention is not only applicable to make the common source configuration of two MOS transistors, is applicable to the common source configuration of a plurality of MOS transistors, the particularly characteristic size MOS transistor circuit below 130nm yet.Said MOS transistor can be PMOS transistor or the nmos pass transistor in the CMOS technology.
Of preamble; Existing manufacturing approach with MOS transistor of common source configuration all forms the LDD structure in common source district and two drain regions, because LDD structure doping content is low, resistance is higher relatively; Make that conducting channel resistance is higher; Cause RC to postpone to increase, reduced the reaction speed of MOS transistor, influenced device performance.Because all there are the LDD structure in common source district and drain region, its horizontal proliferation causes length of effective channel to shorten, and causes short-channel effect easily in addition, causes problems such as puncture voltage reduces, the increase of channel leakage stream.
The inventor finds, because common source institute making alive is not too high generally speaking, ground connection under the situation is therefore limited in the electric field strength in common source district mostly, there is no need to form the LDD structure in this zone.Only form the LDD structure, can reduce channel resistance to a certain extent, and can increase channel length, avoid short-channel effect in the drain region.Because in the present manufacturing approach, the LDD ion in source/drain region injects and carries out simultaneously,,, need do certain adjustment to technological process for fear of form the LDD structure in the common source district so the LDD structure all exists in common source district and drain region.
For this reason, the present invention is based on existing MOS transistor technological process, and it is done local adjustment, only form the LDD structure, make under the not obvious situation that influences process complexity, improve the device performance of formed MOS transistor in the drain region.

On said gate dielectric layer 710, form the gate electrode layer (not shown) then; The material of said gate electrode layer can be polysilicon or metal; Select n type DOPOS doped polycrystalline silicon in the present embodiment for use; Its formation method is low-pressure chemical vapor phase deposition (LPCVD), and dopant ion is a phosphorus, and the thickness of said polysilicon is between hundreds of extremely several thousand dusts.Then said gate electrode layer is carried out graphically; And form the pseudo-gate electrode 720 of two adjacent common source nmos pass transistors through etching; Pseudo-gate electrode 720 is for merging gate electrode described in the present embodiment; Comprise the independent gate electrode (like area I among Fig. 7 and II) of two adjacent common source nmos pass transistors and cover two adjacent common source nmos pass transistors between the part (like area I II among Fig. 7) in common source district, the Semiconductor substrate of pseudo-gate electrode 720 both sides constitutes the drain region of two adjacent common source nmos pass transistors.So far, the device architecture of formation is as shown in Figure 7.
Next like Fig. 6 and shown in Figure 8, execution in step S620 carries out LDD and injects, and forms the lightly doped drain of adjacent mos transistors.Specifically comprise: at first on said pseudo-gate electrode 720, form mask (not indicating among the figure); Carry out LDD afterwards and inject, in the drain region of the both sides of said pseudo-gate electrode 720, form lightly doped drain 730a, 730b.For the NMOS of present embodiment, injection be n type ion, for example phosphorus (P) or arsenic (As).Ion implantation dosage is 10
12~10
13/ cm
2, its inject degree of depth tens of between the hundreds of dust and the prior art basically identical.After said LDD injects; Remove mask; Said Semiconductor substrate 700 is heat-treated, the injection ion among said lightly doped drain 730a, the 730b is taken place vertically and horizontal diffusion, its part is diffused in the Semiconductor substrate 700 of said pseudo-gate electrode 720 belows.This step is that with the difference of existing technology LDD injects the lightly doped drain that only is directed against two adjacent common source nmos pass transistors and carries out, and injects and carry out LDD for the source region of adjacent common source nmos pass transistor.
Like Fig. 6 and shown in Figure 9; Execution in step S630; At the side formation side wall of said gate electrode near lightly doped drain, be in the both sides of said pseudo-gate electrode 720 in the present embodiment, promptly one side forms side wall (spacer) in the drain region of two adjacent common source nmos pass transistors.At first on said Semiconductor substrate 700, form the dielectric layer (not shown), be generally oxide layer, generation type can be low-pressure chemical vapor phase deposition (LPCVD), and thickness is higher than gate height.Said dielectric layer also can be selected oxide layer-silicon nitride-oxide layer sandwich construction forms such as (ONO) for use.Afterwards said dielectric layer is returned (etch back) technology at quarter, form side wall 740 in the both sides of said pseudo-gate electrode 720.Said side wall 740 can play a protective role to said pseudo-gate electrode 720.After forming said side wall 740, will be positioned at lightly doped drain 730a, last gate dielectric layer 710 removals of 730b.Through this step, only on the drain region of two adjacent common source nmos pass transistors, form side wall, and prior art all can form side wall in the source region and the drain region of MOS transistor.
With reference to figure 6 and Figure 10,11, execution in step S640 carries out source/drain electrode and injects, and forms the drain electrode and the common source configuration of adjacent mos transistors.Concrete technology comprises: before carrying out source/drain electrode injection; Need earlier pseudo-gate electrode 720 and the part (being the area I II among Figure 10) that gate dielectric layer 710 covers the common source district to be removed; Expose the common source district; Be specially: at first on said Semiconductor substrate 700, apply photoresist (not shown) and graphical, carry out dry etching then, pseudo-gate electrode 720 etchings of the part that covers common source district 750 are removed it; Utilize wet etching that the gate dielectric layer 710 of 750 tops, common source district is removed again, expose common source district 750.Said dry etching generally adopts chlorine-containing gas, and wet etching adopts hydrofluoric acid.Remove residual photoresist then.So far, device architecture is shown in figure 10, and the independent gate electrode 720a of two adjacent common source nmos pass transistors, 720b form, is common source district 750 between them.Be not form side wall near common source district 750 1 sides with the existing structure difference at said independent gate electrode 720a, 720b.

15/ cm
2, inject high two one magnitude than said LDD, with the prior art basically identical.Because said lightly doped drain 730a, 730b have been formed with side wall 740; The Semiconductor substrate 700 that makes side wall 740 belows in the source/process that drain electrode is injected do not inject ion; The low concentration doping ion that forms when therefore below said side wall 740, only having LDD to inject; Inject through source/drain electrode, form LDD structure 760a, 760b.And for said common source district 750, owing to do not form side wall, in the source/the process intermediate ion injection zone of drain electrode injection limits on independent gate electrode 720a, 720b border.After said source/drain electrode is injected, form drain electrode 770a, 770b and the zone of the common source between independent gate electrode 720a and independent gate electrode 720b formation common source configuration 750a in the drain region of independent gate electrode 720a one side and the drain region of independent gate electrode 720b one side.The difference of above correlation step and existing technological process is: the scope that common source district ion injects is bigger than existing technology.
