Description

自对准抬升外基区锗硅异质结双极晶体管及其制备方法Self-aligned raised outer base germanium silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor and preparation method thereof

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及一种自对准抬升外基区锗硅异质结双极晶体管及其制备方法。The invention relates to a germanium-silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor in a self-aligned raised outer base region and a preparation method thereof.

背景技术 Background technique

平面硅双极晶体管是构建模拟集成电路的传统器件,但由于硅材料在速度上的先天劣势,历史上高频高速应用领域一直由砷化镓等III-V族化合物半导体器件主宰。窄禁带锗硅合金作为基区材料引入硅双极晶体管得到的锗硅异质结双极晶体管,在高频性能上有了很大的提高,同时还保持了硅基技术成本较低的优势,因此已经广泛应用于射频、微波和高速半导体器件基区集成电路领域,并部分替代了砷化镓等化合物半导体技术。Planar silicon bipolar transistors are traditional devices for building analog integrated circuits. However, due to the inherent disadvantages of silicon materials in terms of speed, high-frequency and high-speed applications have historically been dominated by III-V compound semiconductor devices such as gallium arsenide. The germanium-silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor obtained by introducing the narrow-bandgap germanium-silicon alloy as the base material into the silicon bipolar transistor has greatly improved the high-frequency performance, while maintaining the advantage of lower cost of silicon-based technology Therefore, it has been widely used in the field of radio frequency, microwave and high-speed semiconductor device base integrated circuits, and has partially replaced compound semiconductor technologies such as gallium arsenide.

双极晶体管的基极电阻RB和集电极-基极电容CBC一直是制约器件高频性能进一步提高的主要寄生参数,其对器件高频性能指标的影响可用如下简化的表达式描述。The base resistance RB and collector-base capacitance C BC of bipolar transistors have always been the main parasitic parameters that restrict the further improvement of the high-frequency performance of the device, and their influence on the high-frequency performance of the device can be described by the following simplified expression.

ff maxmax == ff TT 88 ππ RR BB CC BCBC

其中,fT和fmax分别表示器件的截止频率和最高振荡频率。Among them, f T and f max represent the cut-off frequency and the highest oscillation frequency of the device, respectively.

此外,RB还是双极晶体管热噪声的主要来源。因此,为了提高器件的高频性能和改善器件的噪声性能,减小RB一直是双极晶体管器件与工艺优化的重要任务之一。In addition, RB is also a major source of thermal noise in bipolar transistors. Therefore, in order to improve the high-frequency performance of the device and improve the noise performance of the device, reducing RB has always been one of the important tasks in the optimization of bipolar transistor devices and processes.

采用发射区-外基区自对准结构,即保证器件重掺杂外基区与发射区的间距不取决于而且一般来说远小于光刻允许的最小线宽或最小套刻间距,是减小RB的有效途径之一。The self-alignment structure of the emitter region-external base region ensures that the distance between the heavily doped extrinsic base region and the emitter region does not depend on and is generally much smaller than the minimum line width or minimum overlay spacing allowed by lithography. One of the effective ways of small RB .

对于通过外延方式生长锗硅基区的异质结双极晶体管,自对准抬升外基区的器件结构满足了较厚的重掺杂外基区与发射区相对位置的自对准要求,因而成为当今高性能自对准锗硅异质结双极晶体管工艺的标准器件结构。实现这种自对准抬升外基区器件结构的工艺方案大致可分为两类。一类的特点是自对准抬升外基区形成于基区外延之后,主要是借助平坦化工艺实现自对准结构。另一类首先淀积重掺杂的多晶抬升外基区,并利用光刻和刻蚀工艺形成发射区窗口,然后再利用选择性外延工艺在已形成的发射区窗口内生长基区外延层并与事先形成的重掺杂外基区多晶悬臂对接。For heterojunction bipolar transistors with a germanium-silicon base region grown by epitaxy, the device structure of the self-aligned raised extrinsic base region meets the self-alignment requirements for the relative position of the thicker heavily doped extrinsic base region and the emitter region, so It has become the standard device structure of today's high-performance self-aligned silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor process. The process schemes for realizing this self-aligned raised extrinsic base device structure can be roughly divided into two categories. One type is characterized in that the self-aligned raised extrinsic base region is formed after the epitaxy of the base region, and the self-aligned structure is mainly realized by means of a planarization process. The other type first deposits heavily doped polycrystalline raised extrinsic base regions, and uses photolithography and etching processes to form emission region windows, and then uses selective epitaxy to grow base epitaxial layers in the formed emission region windows And it is docked with the polycrystalline cantilever in the heavily doped outer base region formed in advance.

以上两类技术方案的共同缺点是工艺都比较复杂,前者需要昂贵的专用平坦化设备及工艺,后者由于其对器件性能起决定作用的基区需要采用工艺较难控制的选择性外延的方法来生长,从而可能引起相关的工艺质量控制问题,例如基区与预成形外基区之间通过选择性外延生长的连接基区中有可能出现空洞等缺陷的问题。因此,到目前为止,自对准抬升外基区锗硅异质结双极晶体管的器件结构及其工艺实现方案仍有待改进。The common disadvantage of the above two types of technical solutions is that the process is relatively complicated. The former requires expensive special planarization equipment and processes, and the latter requires a selective epitaxy method that is difficult to control because of its base area that plays a decisive role in device performance. To grow, which may cause related process quality control problems, such as the problem that defects such as voids may appear in the connecting base region grown by selective epitaxy between the base region and the preformed extrinsic base region. Therefore, so far, the device structure and process implementation scheme of the self-aligned raised extrinsic base germanium silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor still needs to be improved.

特别是,步骤2.11中重掺杂的第一导电类型的多晶硅发射区中的杂质通过发射区窗口向下外扩散形成第一导电类型的重掺杂单晶发射区的方法为利用上述形成基区低电阻金属硅化物层的一次或多次快速热退火工艺,或者利用在此之前或者之后的快速热退火或者其他热扩散推进工艺。In particular, in step 2.11, impurities in the heavily doped polysilicon emitter region of the first conductivity type diffuse downward through the emitter region window to form a heavily doped single crystal emitter region of the first conductivity type by using the above-mentioned formation of the base region One or more rapid thermal annealing processes of the low resistance metal silicide layer, either using a rapid thermal annealing or other thermal diffusion boosting process before or after this.

本发明自对准抬升外基区锗硅异质结双极晶体管的基区低电阻金属硅化物层完全覆盖多晶锗硅基区表面和部分覆盖单晶锗硅基区表面并一直延伸至发射区-基区隔离介质区外侧,从而使得基区低电阻金属硅化物层与重掺杂单晶发射区的距离为(考虑到重掺杂多晶硅发射区中杂质通过发射区窗口外扩散形成重掺杂单晶发射区过程中的杂质横向扩散,此距离应略微小于)由L形氧化硅层和氮化硅侧墙构成的发射区-基区隔离介质区的宽度,即L形氧化硅层厚度和氮化硅侧墙宽度之和。可见,所述距离不受光刻最小套准间距尺寸的限制,而且可以通过优化工艺充分减小这一距离,即实现了自对准锗硅异质结双极晶体管器件结构,能够有效减小器件的基极电阻。The low-resistance metal silicide layer in the base area of the self-aligned raised outer base germanium-silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor completely covers the surface of the polycrystalline germanium-silicon base area and partially covers the surface of the single-crystal germanium-silicon base area and extends all the way to the emitter. The region-base region is isolated from the outside of the dielectric region, so that the distance between the low-resistance metal silicide layer in the base region and the heavily doped single crystal emitter region is (considering that impurities in the heavily doped polysilicon emitter region diffuse through the emitter region window to form heavy doping The lateral diffusion of impurities in the process of heterogeneous single crystal emission region, this distance should be slightly smaller than) the width of the emission region-base isolation dielectric region composed of L-shaped silicon oxide layer and silicon nitride sidewall, that is, the thickness of L-shaped silicon oxide layer and the sum of the silicon nitride spacer widths. It can be seen that the distance is not limited by the minimum registration pitch size of lithography, and this distance can be fully reduced by optimizing the process, that is, the self-aligned silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor device structure is realized, which can effectively reduce The base resistance of the device.

本发明器件的多晶硅抬升外基区20的掺杂即便采用离子注入的方式,离子注入引起的损伤区域也可以保证远离单晶锗硅基区14的中间部分(通过限制离子注入的能量来控制注入深度),况且该多晶硅抬升外基区还可以采用完全不引入注入损伤的原位掺杂,所以这种器件结构有利于抑制杂质的TED(瞬态增强扩散)、尽量减小单晶锗硅基区14中通过外延原位掺杂的杂质由于其后热开销引起的杂质再分布,从而保证优良的器件性能。Even if the doping of the polysilicon raised outer base region 20 of the device of the present invention adopts the mode of ion implantation, the damage region caused by the ion implantation can also be guaranteed to be away from the middle part of the single crystal germanium silicon base region 14 (the implantation is controlled by limiting the energy of the ion implantation depth), and the polysilicon raised extrinsic base region can also be doped in situ without introducing implant damage at all, so this device structure is conducive to suppressing TED (Transient Enhanced Diffusion) of impurities and minimizing the The impurity doped in-situ by epitaxy in the region 14 is redistributed due to impurity redistribution caused by subsequent thermal overhead, thereby ensuring excellent device performance.

由于上述延伸至发射区-基区隔离介质区外侧、与重掺杂单晶发射区间距足够小的基区低电阻金属硅化物层的薄层电阻非常小,通常远小于重掺杂锗硅基区的薄层电阻,所以与通常的自对准锗硅异质结双极晶体管相比,本发明器件可以获得更小的基极电阻RB,从而能够进一步提高器件的噪声和射频微波功率性能。Since the sheet resistance of the low-resistance metal silicide layer in the base region extending to the outside of the emitter-base isolation dielectric region and having a sufficiently small distance from the heavily doped single crystal emitter region is very small, usually much smaller than that of the heavily doped silicon-germanium-based The sheet resistance of the region, so compared with the usual self-aligned germanium-silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor, the device of the present invention can obtain a smaller base resistance RB , thereby further improving the noise and radio frequency microwave power performance of the device .

本发明自对准抬升外基区锗硅异质结双极晶体管制备方法由于是利用金属硅化物工艺来实现自对准器件结构,因而无需采用通常的自对准锗硅异质结双极晶体管制备过程中必需的复杂工艺步骤,可以有效降低工艺复杂度和制造成本。The method for preparing the self-aligned silicon-germanium-silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor in the outer base region of the present invention realizes the self-aligned device structure by using the metal silicide process, so there is no need to use the usual self-aligned silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor The complex process steps necessary in the preparation process can effectively reduce the process complexity and manufacturing cost.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

下面结合说明书附图和实施例对本发明做详细描述。The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

如图12所示,本发明自对准抬升外基区锗硅异质结双极晶体管主要包括Si集电区10、局部介质区12、Si集电区10和局部介质区12之上的基区、基区上的重掺杂多晶硅发射区29和发射区-基区隔离介质区、发射区-基区隔离介质区围成的发射区窗口下的重掺杂单晶发射区38、基区表面的基区低电阻金属硅化物层32、重掺杂多晶硅抬升外基区20、接触孔介质层40、发射极金属电极42以及基极金属电极44。其中,基区由单晶锗硅基区14和多晶锗硅基区16组成;发射区-基区隔离介质区由L形氧化硅层25和氮化硅侧墙26构成。基区低电阻金属硅化物层32一直延伸至发射区-基区隔离介质区外侧。优选结构中,基区低电阻金属硅化物层32完全覆盖多晶锗硅基区16,局部覆盖单晶锗硅基区14。As shown in FIG. 12 , the self-aligned raised outer base germanium-silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor of the present invention mainly includes a Si collector region 10, a partial dielectric region 12, and a base on the Si collector region 10 and the partial dielectric region 12. The heavily doped polysilicon emitter region 29 on the region and the base region and the emitter region-base isolation dielectric region, the heavily doped single crystal emitter region 38 and the base region under the emission region window surrounded by the emitter region-base isolation dielectric region The low-resistance metal silicide layer 32 of the base region on the surface, the raised outer base region 20 of heavily doped polysilicon, the dielectric layer 40 of the contact hole, the emitter metal electrode 42 and the base metal electrode 44 . Wherein, the base area is composed of a single crystal silicon germanium base area 14 and a polycrystalline silicon germanium base area 16 ; The low-resistance metal silicide layer 32 in the base region extends all the way to the outside of the emitter-base isolation dielectric region. In a preferred structure, the base low-resistance metal silicide layer 32 completely covers the polycrystalline silicon germanium base region 16 and partially covers the single crystal silicon germanium base region 14 .

背景技术所涉及的普通非自对准器件结构中由于基区低电阻金属硅化物层32未延伸至发射区-基区隔离介质区外侧,所以基区低电阻金属硅化物层32与重掺杂单晶发射区38的间距至少等于(考虑到形成重掺杂单晶发射区38过程中杂质的横向扩散效应,应该略小于)L形氧化硅层25的厚度、氮化硅侧墙26的宽度和第一氧化硅层22的宽度之和。因为受限于光刻条件,第一氧化硅层20的宽度不能小于最小光刻套准间距,所以基区低电阻金属硅化物层32与重掺杂单晶发射区38的间距受限于最小光刻套准间距因而不可能很小,因此背景技术所涉及的普通非自对准器件的基极电阻RB也就不可能很小,从而使得器件性能的优化受到一定限制。In the conventional non-self-aligned device structure involved in the background technology, since the low-resistance metal silicide layer 32 in the base region does not extend to the outside of the emitter-base isolation dielectric region, the low-resistance metal silicide layer 32 in the base region and the heavily doped The pitch of the single crystal emitter region 38 is at least equal to (considering the lateral diffusion effect of impurities in the process of forming the heavily doped single crystal emitter region 38, it should be slightly smaller) the thickness of the L-shaped silicon oxide layer 25 and the width of the silicon nitride sidewall 26 and the width of the first silicon oxide layer 22 . Due to limited photolithography conditions, the width of the first silicon oxide layer 20 cannot be smaller than the minimum photolithography alignment spacing, so the distance between the base low-resistance metal silicide layer 32 and the heavily doped single crystal emitter region 38 is limited to the minimum Therefore, the lithographic registration pitch cannot be very small, so the base resistance RB of the common non-self-aligned device involved in the background art cannot be small, so that the optimization of device performance is limited to a certain extent.

本发明的器件结构因为由金属层18经过硅化反应生成的基区低电阻金属硅化物32一直延伸到由L形氧化硅层25和氮化硅侧墙26构成的发射区-基区隔离介质区的外侧,从而使得基区低电阻金属硅化物层32与重掺杂单晶发射区38的间距仅等于(考虑到形成重掺杂单晶发射区38过程中杂质的横向扩散效应,应该略小于)L形氧化硅层25的厚度和氮化硅侧墙26的宽度之和。无论是L形氧化硅层25的厚度还是氮化硅侧墙26的宽度都与光刻工艺无关,因而可以不受限于而且可以远小于最小光刻套准间距。所以,基区低电阻金属硅化物层32与重掺杂单晶发射区38的间距就可以不受限于而且可以远小于最小光刻套准间距。因此,本发明所提出的金属硅化物自对准抬升外基区锗硅异质结双极晶体管的器件结构属于自对准结构,因而相比背景技术所涉及的普通非自对准器件结构可以获得更小的基极电阻RB。而且,即使是背景技术涉及到的自对准器件,往往也只能保证重掺杂锗硅基区与重掺杂单晶发射区之间的自对准,而不能保证基区低电阻金属硅化物层与重掺杂单晶发射区间距的最小化,而本发明提出的器件结构直接保证了基区低电阻金属硅化物层32与重掺杂单晶发射区38的自对准及其间距的最小化,由于低电阻金属硅化物层的薄层电阻通常远小于重掺杂锗硅基区的薄层电阻,因此即使相比于背景技术所涉及的自对准器件,本发明提出的器件仍然可以进一步减小基极电阻RB,进而能够进一步优化器件的速度、噪声和射频微波功率性能。The device structure of the present invention extends to the emitter-base isolation dielectric region formed by the L-shaped silicon oxide layer 25 and the silicon nitride sidewall 26 because the low-resistance metal silicide 32 in the base region formed by the silicidation reaction of the metal layer 18 extends all the way. , so that the distance between the base low-resistance metal silicide layer 32 and the heavily doped single crystal emitter region 38 is only equal to (considering the lateral diffusion effect of impurities in the process of forming the heavily doped single crystal emitter region 38, it should be slightly less than ) the sum of the thickness of the L-shaped silicon oxide layer 25 and the width of the silicon nitride sidewall 26. Neither the thickness of the L-shaped silicon oxide layer 25 nor the width of the silicon nitride sidewall 26 has anything to do with the photolithography process, so they are not limited and can be much smaller than the minimum photolithography registration pitch. Therefore, the distance between the low-resistance metal silicide layer 32 in the base region and the heavily doped single crystal emitter region 38 is not limited and can be much smaller than the minimum photolithography alignment distance. Therefore, the device structure of the metal silicide self-aligned raised outer base region germanium-silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor proposed by the present invention belongs to the self-aligned structure, so compared with the ordinary non-self-aligned device structure involved in the background art, it can A smaller base resistance RB is obtained. Moreover, even the self-aligned devices involved in the background technology often can only ensure the self-alignment between the heavily doped germanium silicon base region and the heavily doped single crystal emitter region, but cannot guarantee the low-resistance metal silicide of the base region. The distance between the material layer and the heavily doped single crystal emitter region is minimized, while the device structure proposed by the present invention directly ensures the self-alignment and the distance between the base low-resistance metal silicide layer 32 and the heavily doped single crystal emitter region 38 Since the sheet resistance of the low-resistance metal silicide layer is usually much smaller than that of the heavily doped germanium-silicon base region, even compared to the self-aligned device involved in the background art, the device proposed by the present invention Still, the base resistance RB can be further reduced, so that the speed, noise and radio frequency microwave power performance of the device can be further optimized.

如图11所示,利用一次或多次快速热退火工艺,使金属层18与下面接触的部分单晶锗硅基区14和多晶锗硅基区16以及与上面接触的多晶硅抬升外基区20发生硅化反应,最终形成基区低电阻金属硅化物层32,该基区低电阻金属硅化物层32可以是但不限于钛硅化物、钴硅化物或镍硅化物。As shown in FIG. 11 , one or more rapid thermal annealing processes are used to lift the outer base region of the metal layer 18 to the part of the single-crystal germanium-silicon base region 14 and the polycrystalline silicon-germanium base region 16 in contact with the bottom and the polysilicon base region in contact with the top. 20 undergoes a silicide reaction, and finally forms a low-resistance metal silicide layer 32 in the base region.
