Correspondingly, the present invention also provides a kind of manufacture method of PN junction, and show the schematic flow sheet of PN junction manufacture method one execution mode of the present invention with reference to figure 3, described manufacture method comprises the following steps:
S1, provides substrate;
S2, forms the first semiconductor layer over the substrate, and described first semiconductor layer is the semiconductor layer of the first doping;
S3, described first semiconductor layer forms dielectric layer, and graphical described dielectric layer, forms opening in described dielectric layer, and in the process forming opening, thinning described dielectric layer, forms the wedge-shaped medium layer that openend thickness is less;
S4, filling semiconductor material in described opening, forms the second semiconductor layer be covered on dielectric layer;
S5, carries out the second doping to described second semiconductor layer.
Be described in detail above steps below in conjunction with specific embodiment, the present embodiment is for the SiGe PN junction bipolar transistor of positive-negative-positive.
For step S1, described substrate is silicon or silicon-on-insulator (Silicon-On-Insulator, SOI) particularly.
For step S2, by epitaxy technique depositing silicon and germanium over the substrate, form the silicon mixing germanium, as base stage, particularly, described epitaxy technique is molecular number extension (MolecularBeamEpitaxy, or metallorganic chemical vapor deposition (Metal-organicChemicalVaporDeposition MBE), MOCVD), when deposited on substrates Si and Ge, the ratio of the Ge mixed in the Si of deposition can be regulated by the size of the molecular beam regulating Si and Ge.
Described base stage is the semiconductor layer of N-type doping, particularly, can carry out N-type doping by phosphonium ion, to form the semiconductor layer of N-type doping.
For step S3, in the present embodiment, described dielectric layer is silica, and (method of ChemicalVaporDeposition, CVD deposits certain thickness silicon oxide layer in base stage can to pass through chemical vapor deposition;
If wedge shape silica is too thin at the thickness of openend, then formed in the process of opening wayward at subsequent etch process, if the too thick increase causing manufacturing cost, therefore, preferably, in the present embodiment, the thickness of described silica 800 ~
scope in;
Silica covers photoetching offset plate figure, the silica that etching photoresist exposes, with graphical described silica.
Particularly, can pass through the graphical described silica of wet etching, silica forms opening, until described opening dew base stage, the solution that described wet etching uses is the lower hydrofluoric acid of concentration;
Be noted that, due in described wet etching process, chemical solution can isotropically corrode described silica, the etching extent of described wet etching step to the silica near opening (chemical solution region) is larger, less to the etching extent of the silica away from opening, thus formed on silica in the process of opening, described silica is etched into the silica figure that cross section is wedge shape, further, described wedge shape silica is less at the thickness of openend.
Thickness 800 ~
oxide layer in scope after wet etching process, the wedge shape silica formed at the thickness of openend 200 ~
scope in.
S4, fills silicon in described opening, until fill up described opening, form the silicon layer be covered on described silicon oxide dielectric layer, described silicon layer is filled in opening, and the contact-making surface of described silicon layer and base stage is subject to the restriction of opening size.
Step S5, carries out the doping of P type to described silicon layer, and particularly, described P type is doped to boron doping;
Base stage is the semiconductor layer of N-type doping, and collector is the semiconductor layer of P type doping, and at described base stage and collector intersection, the base surface that namely opening exposes forms PN junction, thus completes the manufacture process of PN junction.
In practical application, ion implantation mode can be adopted to carry out the doping of described P type, and when adopting ion implantation mode to adulterate, because the thickness of dielectric layers near open side is less, therefore inject ion and can pass the less dielectric layer of described thickness and arrive base surface.
Need illustrate time, when ion implantation, the injection ion concentration of the base surface that opening exposes is larger, ion diffuse can be carried out to the base stage under dielectric layer covering, inject the ion dielectric layer that have passed through near opening due to part simultaneously and arrive actively surface, so, the base surface exposed at described opening, and opening near the ion concentration differences that formed of base surface below dielectric layer little.It is close that the base surface exposed due to opening, base surface below the dielectric layer of opening part form N-type ion concentration, P type ion in collector spreads in base stage, thus the base surface exposed at opening, base surface below the dielectric layer of opening part all form PN junction, the thickness of the PN junction of described zones of different is substantially identical, and the thickness of described PN junction is comparatively dark, and then avoid the larger problem of the leakage current that causes because doped region is more shallow.
Inventor found through experiments, and other electrical parameters (such as current gain etc.) of PN junction provided by the invention do not change with the change of structure.
It should be noted that, the present invention is for the SiGe PN junction bipolar transistor of positive-negative-positive, but the present invention is not restricted to this, it can also be the transistor etc. of NPN type, all applicable for the semiconductor device the present invention comprising PN junction, those skilled in the art can modify to the present invention according to above-described embodiment, replace or be out of shape.
To sum up, the invention provides a kind of PN junction and manufacture method thereof, the doped region of connector shape can be avoided the formation of, while other electrical parameters of maintenance are constant, the problem that the leakage current that causes because doped region is more shallow is larger can be avoided;
In addition, in PN junction manufacture method provided by the invention, without the need to deposited silicon nitride on silica, save material, decrease processing step, simplify processing procedure.
