Fig. 9 is the flow chart of the manufacture method of MOS transistor in the present embodiment, and Figure 10 to Figure 17 is the flow chart of the manufacture method of MOS transistor in the present embodiment.
The manufacture method of described MOS transistor comprises the following steps:
Step S1: shown in Figure 10, Semiconductor substrate 100 is provided, in described Semiconductor substrate 100, there are pseudo-grid 107 ', the gate dielectric layer 108 of pseudo-grid 107 ' below, and heavily doped region, source region 104 and heavily doped region, drain region 105 in the semiconductor substrate surface of described pseudo-grid 107 ' both sides, wherein, the Semiconductor substrate of pseudo-grid 107 ' below is raceway groove 109, and described pseudo-grid 107 ' both sides also have grid curb wall 102.
Pseudo-grid structure in this Semiconductor substrate 100, adopts the manufacture method of traditional MOS transistor, first forms pseudo-grid, then forms heavily doped region by Implantation, then forms grid curb wall.In addition, in Semiconductor substrate 100 surfaces, can utilize shallow trench processes (STI) to form shallow channel isolation area (not shown), the active area forming for isolating subsequent technique.
Described gate dielectric layer 108 at least comprises one deck gate oxide.Wherein, the material of gate oxide is silica or silicon oxynitride, and its thickness is for example 1nm~5nm.Preferably, described gate dielectric layer 108 is high K medium material.The material of described pseudo-grid 107 ' comprises polysilicon, adopts the etching technics of traditional polysilicon gate to form.
Referring to Figure 11, there are the Semiconductor substrate 100 surface deposition before-metal medium layers 101 of pseudo-grid structure, specifically can adopt the technique such as PECVD or HDPCVD, the material of described before-metal medium layer 101 is silica glass or silicon nitride, or well known to a person skilled in the art other materials, the combination of for example, in PSG, BSG, FSG or other low k dielectric materials one or more.
Then, utilize cmp (CMP) technique to carry out planarization to semiconductor substrate surface, comprise following two step planarizations: first step flatening process stops at hard mask layer (not shown), also remove protruding before-metal medium layer 101; Second step flatening process stops at pseudo-grid 107 ' surface, also removes hard mask layer, exposes pseudo-grid 107 '.
Step S2: remove pseudo-grid 107 ' with at the interior formation gate groove 103 of grid curb wall 102.
Concrete, referring to Figure 12, adopt wet method or plasma etching industrial to remove pseudo-grid 107 ', expose pseudo-grid 107 ' gate dielectric layer 108 below, thereby at the interior formation gate groove 103 of grid curb wall 102, for make asymmetrical grid at subsequent technique.In the etching technics of this step, etching solution or etching gas have larger etching selection ratio to polysilicon and silicon nitride.
Step S3: form grid in the interior side near source region 104 of described gate groove 103.
Concrete, comprise the following steps:
Shown in Figure 13, carry out inclined deposition, in the semiconductor substrate surface outside gate groove 103 and the close gate groove 103 in described source region 104, a side forms grid layer 111.
Described inclined deposition for example adopts metal PVD technique, the included angle A of deposition line and Semiconductor substrate 100 is about 45 degree, due to beam direction and gate groove 103 openings formation certain angles, the grid layer 111 of deposition can not be filled gate groove 103 completely, but substrate surface outside covering gate groove 103 and gate groove 103 be near the sidewall in source region 104, gate groove 103 near the sidewall in drain region 105 because the reason of line angle does not have metallic deposition under the blocking of grid curb wall 102.
Then,, shown in Figure 14, oppositely grid layer 111 described in etching, to form grid 107.
Described reverse etching can adopt isotropic plasma etching technics, remove the grid layer 111 on gate groove 103 outer-lining bottom surfaces, and repair the pattern of the interior grid layer 111 of gate groove 103 simultaneously, obtain grid 107, this grid 107 is not filled complete by gate groove 103, but only having covered gate groove 103 and rely on the side in source region 104, grid 107 is identical with the shape of grid curb wall 102.Grid 107 covers the raceway groove top of source, has formed opening 103a at drain terminal.
The material of grid layer 111 can be Al, can be also TiAlx alloy.In the time that the material of grid layer 111 is alloy, PVD technique (for example magnetron sputtering method) can adopt corresponding alloy target material or adopt the sputter of many metallic targets, in deposition process, directly forms alloyed metal (AM) layer at substrate surface.
The key of above-mentioned reverse etching technics is, controls the width of opening 103a and the width of grid 107.
Step S4: form LDD district, drain region 106 taking described grid 107 as mask below gate groove 103, shown in Figure 15, adopt ion implantation technology to the interior implanting impurity ion of Semiconductor substrate 100, due to blocking of grid 107, foreign ion is only injected in the substrate near drain region 105 1 sides, and in the substrate of source region 104 1 sides, there is no foreign ion, thereby form asymmetrical LDD plot structure.
Then, carry out annealing process, for example, adopt rapid thermal annealing, to repair lattice defect activator impurity ion, after annealing, LDD district 106 produces overlapping, shown in Figure 16 with grid 107.
In the present embodiment, described grid 107 is metal material, described inclined deposition is PVD technique, utilize so asymmetrical metal gate as mask, when metal gate can be formed, form asymmetrical LDD district, save photoetching process one, and can reduction of device area occupied, be conducive to improve transistorized integrated level.
In fact, described grid 107 can be also semi-conducting material, the composite grid of for example polysilicon and metal silicide, but need to adopt different materials from grid curb wall 102 and gate dielectric layer 108, there is larger etching selection ratio.
Finally, shown in Figure 17, in semiconductor substrate surface metallization medium layer 112, then carry out flatening process, stop at before-metal medium layer 101 surfaces, so that interior gate groove 103 remaining opening 103a is filled.
The above, be only preferred embodiment of the present invention, not the present invention done to any pro forma restriction.
