Embodiment
Below with reference to accompanying drawing, the manufacture method of the new fuse structure of silicon-on-insulator of the present invention is described in further detail.
Core concept of the present invention is, based on the silicon-on-insulator substrate, the monocrystalline silicon layer in active area and new fuse structure district is formed in one procedure, form oxide layer and silicon nitride layer then, by removing the silicon nitride layer and the oxide layer at top, electronics fuse district, and further remove the part monocrystalline silicon layer in new fuse structure district, and to reach attenuate new fuse structure thickness, the purpose of the power consumption of new fuse structure thereby reduction fuses.
The invention provides manufacture method, comprise step based on the new fuse structure of silicon-on-insulator:
Please refer to shown in Figure 6ly, in silicon-on-insulator substrate 10, form monocrystalline silicon layer, and the described monocrystalline silicon layer of patterning, to be formed with source region 12A and new fuse structure district 12B; Forming the method for described monocrystalline silicon layer, can be that of the prior art any one forms the method for monocrystalline silicon layer, as epitaxy.
Please refer to shown in Figure 7ly, on described active area 12A and described new fuse structure district 12B, form oxide layer 14; In the present embodiment, described oxide layer 14 is a silicon dioxide layer, and the formation method that its formation method is a prior art is as chemical vapour deposition technique.The existence of oxide layer is to lose layer too greatly and as ending of silicon nitride etch for the stress that prevents silicon nitride.
Please continue to form silicon nitride layer 16 with reference to shown in Figure 7, described silicon nitride layer 16 covers described active area 12A and described new fuse structure district 12B;
Please refer to shown in Figure 8ly, remove the silicon nitride layer 16 and the oxide layer 14 at 12B top, described new fuse structure district; Dry etching is that existing dry etch process is no longer described at this in the present embodiment.
Please refer to shown in Figure 9ly, remove the part monocrystalline silicon layer of described new fuse structure district 12B; In the present embodiment, the method for removing the part monocrystalline silicon layer of described new fuse structure district 12B is the plasma dry etching; The remaining monocrystalline silicon layer thickness range in described new fuse structure district is 100 dusts-1500 dusts.

Please refer to shown in Figure 11, form grid 20 at described active area 12A, and be mask with described grid 20, the low-doped ion that carries out source/drain region injects, as utilize nitrogen, arsenic, antimony, boron, aluminium or gallium etc. to mix, this step can be any one of existing low-doped ion implantation technology.
Form clearance wall 30 at the monocrystalline silicon layer sidewall of described gate lateral wall, described active area and the monocrystalline silicon layer sidewall in described new fuse structure district.The material of clearance wall 30 can be silicon nitride (now commonly used be silica or ONO structure), utilizes methane and ammonia as reacting gas, generates in the reaction to the temperature of 800 degree of about 300 degree, and thickness is approximately 300 dusts-1000 dust.
The advantage of the foregoing description is: can access the new fuse structure of being made up of pure crystalline silicon than minimal thickness, the thickness of described new fuse structure can be controlled as required; In addition, in addition, because fuse is a monocrystal material, the distribution of resistance before and after its fusing also can be relatively good, thereby can improve ProgrammingWindow sequencing window effectively, is more conducive to improve yield.
Optionally, in another embodiment of the present invention, after forming clearance wall 30, also comprise and carry out the metal silicide processing procedure, make the monocrystalline silicon layer in described new fuse structure district all form metal silicide layer.It can be in the processing procedure of existing formation metal silicide any one that metal silicide is made.Metal in the metal silicide can be cobalt, copper, molybdenum, titanium or tantalum etc., in the present embodiment, described new fuse structure is made up of metal silicide fully, is made up of two kinds of materials with new fuse structure in the prior art and compares the easier control that stylizes of the new fuse structure of pure material layer.Control is easy owing to stylize, so, higher reliability is arranged.Certainly new fuse structure also can be double-decker (when fuse layer thickness when not being very thin) in other examples of the present invention, directly forms the silicide layer of complete silication when perhaps also can be at the monocrystalline silicon layer of fuse very thin.
