In order to control short-channel effect, littler scale device further requires to improve grid capacitance.This can realize by the thickness that constantly reduces gate oxide, but the thing followed is the lifting of grid leakage current.Especially work as silicon dioxide as gate oxide, when thickness was lower than 1 nanometer, leakage current just became and can't stand.The effective ways that address the above problem just are to use high dielectric constant insulating material to replace silicon dioxide, high dielectric constant insulating material can be hafnium silicate, hafnium silicon oxygen nitrogen compound, hafnium oxide etc., dielectric constant is generally all greater than 15, adopt this material can further improve gate capacitance, grid leakage current can be significantly improved again simultaneously.For identical gate oxide thickness, adopt metal gates to replace polysilicon gate, that is to say, with high dielectric constant insulating material and metal gates collocation, grid leakage current will reduce several magnitude, and has solved problem incompatible between high dielectric constant insulating material and the polysilicon with metal gates replacement polysilicon gate.
Below the manufacture method based on the semiconductor device of the gate oxide of high dielectric constant insulating material and metal gates is described in detail.
Semiconductor device is made and is meant chemistry or the physical operations of carrying out a series of complexity on substrate, to form the process of semiconductor device.Fig. 1~Figure 12 is the process generalized section of the manufacture method of semiconductor device in the prior art, and this method mainly comprises:
Step 101 referring to Fig. 1, provides a substrate, is formed for isolating shallow trench isolation region (STI), N trap and the P trap of active area in substrate.
