Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment the present invention is done further detailed explanation.
As depicted in figs. 1 and 2, there are not collector region buried regions and collector region epitaxial loayer in the high speed Ge-Si heterojunction bipolar transistor device of employing the inventive method manufacturing, the substitute is and make N type breast buried regions (PseudoBuried Layer) and doping collector region.At the shallow-trench isolation high dose of HBT both sides, low-yield inject phosphonium ion or arsenic ion, the horizontal proliferation through phosphorus or arsenic is intersected in active area, forms buried regions.Through the hard mask layer (Hard Mask) on the local active area of erosion removal, phosphonium ion or arsenic ion at local triode region injection low dosage form collector region then.
As shown in Figure 1, the present invention adopts the local collector region of the repeatedly gradual change degree of depth to inject, the high speed triode collector region technology of low-cost and high-performance, the repeatedly injection collector region N type impurity of the gradual change degree of depth after the local active area of high speed triode is opened; Injecting number of times is 3~5 times, injects the energy trend that tapers off at every turn; When implanted dopant was phosphorus, inject energy was 50~500kev at every turn; When implanted dopant was arsenic, inject energy was 100~1000kev at every turn; The dosage that the surface is once injected is 5e12~1e14/cm2, and the dosage that the middle part is injected several times is 1e13~2e14/cm2, and a darkest implantation dosage is 1e14~1e15/cm2; Form uniform local collector region N type Impurity Distribution, and connect, effectively reduced the overall resistance of collector region, effectively raise the cut-off frequency of high speed triode with the counterfeit buried regions of N+.
The present invention no longer injects through high concentration high-energy N type and makes collector terminal, but through carving the deep trap contact hole in the oxygen on the scene, inserts Ti/TiN transition metal layer and metal W, and buried regions is born in contact, realizes drawing of collector electrode.This contact hole is very near apart from the device base, has avoided excessive collector resistance, has also reduced the parasitic capacitance of collector electrode.
Lift the manufacturing approach that an embodiment specifies high speed Ge-Si heterojunction bipolar transistor of the present invention below, this method mainly comprises the steps:
Step 1, on P type silicon substrate, form oxygen district's groove and active area.
Step 2, the counterfeit buried regions of formation N+.At first, with the counterfeit buried regions of lithographic definition zone, counterfeit buried regions protection window when promptly forming said counterfeit buried regions ion with photoresist and injecting.The said counterfeit buried regions protection window that forms through said photoresist carries out the injection of N type ion in the bottom, oxygen district, field of said active area both sides, through injecting the horizontal proliferation of ion, is intersected in active area, forms the counterfeit buried regions of said N+.The N type ion implantation technology condition of said counterfeit buried regions is: high dose, low-yield phosphonium ion or the arsenic ion of injecting.When implanted dopant was phosphorus, implantation dosage was 3e14/cm2~5e15/cm2, and the injection energy is 3KeV~20keV; When implanted dopant was arsenic, implantation dosage was 3e14/cm2~5e15/cm2, and the injection energy is 5KeV~40keV.
Step 3, in said oxygen district groove, insert silica and form an oxygen district.
Step 4, formation collector region.At first; Through the hard mask layer (HardMask) on the local active area of erosion removal; Promptly open the local active area of triode and form collector region protection window; As shown in Figure 1 then, (injecting number of times is 3~5 times, injects the energy trend that tapers off at every turn to open the local collector region N of the repeatedly injection type impurity that adopts the gradual change degree of depth in the back at the local active area of triode; When implanted dopant was phosphorus, inject energy was 50~500kev at every turn; When implanted dopant was arsenic, inject energy was 100~1000kev at every turn; The dosage that the surface is once injected is 5e12~1e14/cm2, and the dosage that the middle part is injected several times is 1e13~2e14/cm2, and a darkest implantation dosage is 1e14~1e15/cm2), form collector region.The said collector region degree of depth forms good the contact greater than the degree of depth and the said collector region of bottom, said oxygen district with said counterfeit buried regions.And then carry out rapid thermal anneal process and (adopt temperature: 990~1060 ℃; Time: 5 seconds to 30 seconds), the N type impurity that repeatedly injects is joined together, form the local collector region Impurity Distribution of uniform N type, and connect (see figure 2), form collector region, effectively raise the cut-off frequency of high speed triode than low resistance with the counterfeit buried regions of N+.
Step 5, form the base by this area conventional method.At first, form base window dielectric layer; Secondly, form the base window; Then, form the silica-based district of germanium.
Step 6, form the emitter region by this area conventional method.At first, form the emitter window dielectric layer; Secondly, form emitter window; Carry out N type polycrystalline silicon growth and etching again and form the N+ polysilicon emissioning area.Make the monox lateral wall of said emitter region then, said monox lateral wall can be avoided the short circuit of silicide on emitter region silicide and the outer base area.
Step 7, etching forms the deep hole contact and draws said collector region electrode in the oxygen district, field at said counterfeit buried regions top.The contact of said deep hole be through in the oxygen district, field at said counterfeit buried regions top, open a deep hole and in said deep hole behind deposit titanium/titanium nitride barrier metal layer, insert tungsten again and form, buried regions is born in this deep hole contact contact, realizes drawing of collector electrode.This deep hole contact is very near apart from the device base, has avoided excessive collector resistance, has also reduced the parasitic capacitance of collector electrode.This method also comprises the technology of the contact hole that forms said outer base area, emitter region, and other postchannel process, forms final high speed Ge-Si heterojunction bipolar transistor, sees Fig. 2.
