具体实施方式
下面,详细讨论本发明的优选实施例的制造和使用。然而,应该理解,本发明提供了许多可以在各种具体环境中实现的可应用的发明概念。所讨论的具体实施例仅仅示出了制造和使用本发明的具体方式,而不用于限制本发明的范围。
将利用具体环境(即,使用鳍式场效应晶体管(FinFET)互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)工艺流程形成的双极结型晶体管(BJT)10)中的优选的实施例来描述本发明。该BJT 10适用于现有的FinFET CMOS逻辑工艺流程。因此,形成该鳍式的BJT结构时不需要额外的掩模和工艺(也就是说没有增加额外成本)。然而,本发明也可以应用于其他类型的半导体器件结构或电路(例如,二极管、电阻器、阱拾取件(well pickup)等)。
现在,参考图1,示出了使用鳍式场效应晶体管(FinFET)互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)工艺流程所形成的BJT 10。在一些实施例中,BJT10包括:p型掺杂的半导体衬底12、浅沟道隔离(STI)区域18、发射极鳍20、基极鳍22,以及集电极鳍24,该半导体衬底带有p阱16和n阱14,将n阱14设置在p阱16的相对两侧。图2清楚地示出,n阱14可以是围绕着p阱16的单个环形区域。虽然在图1中示出了n-p-n BJT 10,但也可以形成p-n-p BJT或其他半导体结构。
在一些实施例中,衬底12、发射极鳍20、基极鳍22以及集电极鳍24由绝缘材料形成,从而适应绝缘体上硅(SOI)FinFET工艺,该绝缘体上硅工艺与体FinFET工艺相反,在该体FinFET工艺中衬底通常由硅材料形成。
在图1中,所描述的衬底12的部分具有大约6微米的长度以及大约1015/cm3的杂质浓度。另外,n阱14具有大约100nm至大约400nm的深度或厚度(大体上完全围绕了集电极区域),并且具有大约1018/cm3的杂质浓度。p阱16具有大约100nm至大约400nm的深度或厚度(大体上完全围绕了基极和发射极区域),并且具有大约1018/cm3的杂质浓度。然而,本领域的技术人员会意识到,整个说明书中所描述的尺寸和数值仅仅是实例,并且如果使用了不同的形成技术,则该尺寸和数量也会改变。通常,N+区域和P+区域(例如,鳍20、22、24的上部)的掺杂水平高于n阱14和p阱16的掺杂水平。n阱14和p阱16的掺杂水平还高于衬底12的掺杂水平。
现参考图1、图1a和图1b,STI区域18形成在衬底12上方以及形成在单独发射极鳍20、基极鳍22和集电极鳍24中的每一个之间。可以通过蚀刻衬底12以形成沟槽并且然后利用介电材料(诸如,高密度等离子体(HDP)氧化物、TEOS氧化物等)填充该沟槽来形成STI区域18。在一些实施例中,STI区域18的深度26为大约100nm至300nm。在一些实施例中,STI区域18的深度比有效的鳍高度深得多,该有效的鳍高度是鳍在STI区域18的顶面上方突出的部分。在一些实施例中,有效的鳍高度约为15nm至100nm。然而,也可以通过调节有效的鳍高度来减少泄露,更好地提高器件的整体性能等。在一些实施例中,在发射极鳍20、基极鳍22以及集电极鳍24之间的STI区域18所具有的间隔28的大小在大约30nm至大约100nm之间。在一些实施例中,蚀刻覆盖着衬底的STI层以形成沟槽,然后,该沟槽填充有外延生长的半导体材料,从而形成了发射极鳍20、基极鳍22以及集电极鳍24。
参考图1a,在一些实施例中,实施n型杂质注入,从而在发射极鳍20和集电极鳍24的上部中形成重掺杂的n型区域30。在整个说明书中,术语“重掺杂”指的是杂质浓度大于大约1020/cm3。然而,可以认识到,术语“重掺杂”是技术术语,并且涉及的是用于形成实施例的集成电路的具体技术时代。在一些实施例中,实施p型掺杂注入,从而在基极鳍22的上部中形成重掺杂的p型区域32。在一些实施例中,在形成相应的鳍的过程中可以实施原位掺杂来引入杂质。
参考图2,当从上方观看时,发射极鳍20、基极鳍22以及集电极鳍24中的每一个均具有正方形外形。在一些实施例中,发射极鳍20、基极鳍22和集电极鳍24可以形成或表现为其他几何形状(例如,矩形、圆形等)。发射极鳍20、基极鳍22和集电极鳍24也可以形成或表现为不规则的几何形状。如图2所示,每个发射极鳍20均与其他发射极鳍同心,每个基极鳍22均与其他基极鳍同心,并且每个集电极鳍24均与其他集电极鳍同心。同样地,发射极鳍20的组、基极鳍22的组以及集电极鳍24的组也都彼此同心。在图2中,基极鳍22围绕发射极鳍20,并且集电极鳍24围绕基极鳍22和发射极鳍20。
仍参考图2,示出了十五个发射极鳍20、两个基极鳍22、以及六个集电极鳍24。在一些实施例中,可以在BJT 10上形成更多或更少的发射极鳍20、基极鳍22和集电极鳍24。当然,在一些实施例中,BJT 10仅包括单个发射极鳍20、单个基极鳍22、和/或单个集电极鳍24。
参考图3,示出了如上所示的BJT 10的一部分。在一些实施例中,最里面的集电极鳍24和最外面的基极鳍22之间的距离34(即,集电极和基极之间的距离)为大约200nm至大约500nm。在一些实施例中,最里面的基极鳍22和最外面的发射极鳍20之间的距离36(即,基极和发射极之间的距离)约为500nm。此外,根据所使用的光刻技术,最小的发射极鳍20的相对内壁之间的距离38约为200nm。
现参考图4,放大了BJT 10的部分来进一步示出基极鳍22和集电极鳍24。图5中进一步放大了集电极鳍24,从而示出:集电极鳍24的高度40在大约20nm和大约100nm之间,并且集电极鳍24的宽度42在大约10nm和大约15nm之间。在一些实施例中,“鳍式”FET器件的鳍宽度为约10nm,而“三栅极”FET器件的鳍宽度为约100nm。
现在参考图6,示出了所指示的流经BJT 10的电流。尤其是电流44从基极鳍22流向发射极鳍20,而与电流44相比,更大的电流46从集电极鳍24流向发射极鳍20。如图6a至图6b所示,发射极鳍20的高度48在大约20nm和大约100nm之间,以及发射极鳍20的宽度50在大约10nm和大约100nm之间。同样地,基极鳍22的高度52在大约20nm至大约100nm之间,以及基极鳍22的宽度54在大约10nm至大约15nm之间。如图6a至图6b所示,根据光刻工艺限制以及器件结构设计,相邻的集电极鳍24的鳍间隙56(例如,一个鳍的宽度加上相邻的鳍之间的间隔)在大约40nm至大约200nm之间。在一些实施例中,相邻的基极鳍22和相邻的集电极鳍24之间的鳍间隙56也在大约40nm至大约65nm之间。在一些实施例中,BJT 10的鳍20-24可以由晶圆形成,例如,该晶圆具有晶体定向100、111或110。
参考图6a至图6b,BJT 10上的有效的鳍结点的面积58(effective finjunction area)(等于鳍的宽度乘以在页面中延伸的鳍长度的乘积)与平面结点的面积(planar junction area)60(等于鳍和STI材料的总宽度乘以在页面中延伸的相同鳍长度的乘积)之间的比例约为Wfin*#鳍*长度/[(#鳍-1)*P鳍+W鳍]*长度(Wfin*#fin*Length/[(#fin-1)*Pfin+Wfin]*Length),其中,Wfin是鳍宽度(例如,宽度42),#鳍是布局区域中的鳍的总数,而Pfin是鳍之间的间隙(例如,鳍间隙56)。本领域的技术人员将意识到,同样在相同的布局区域内,BJT 10的有效结点的面积小于其平面BJT的平面结点的面积。
现在,参考图7,在该图中示出了BJT 10的一部分,发射极鳍20通过接触件60电连接在一起,基极鳍22通过接触件62电连接在一起,并且集电极鳍24通过接触件64电连接在一起。在一些实施例中,接触件60、62、64是外延形成的硅或硅锗。在一些实施例中,接触件60、62、64是金属零(metal zero,M0)塞、铜塞或钨塞。如图8所示,与其他公知的BJT器件相比,发射极、基极以及集电极鳍24的“环状”的结构提供了改进的对称性和电流分布。
现在,参考图9,示出了图7所示的形成BJT 10的工艺66。在框68中,将杂质引入到p掺杂的半导体衬底12中,从而形成n阱14和p阱。在框70中,在衬底上以同心的正方形图案形成发射极鳍20、基极鳍22以及集电极鳍24。如上所述,既可以通过蚀刻衬底12并且利用STI氧化物18填充沟槽,也可以通过蚀刻STI氧化物18的层并且在沟槽中外延生长鳍来形成鳍20、22、24。在框72中,将杂质引入到发射极鳍20、基极鳍22以及集电极鳍24中。可以通过注入工艺或原位掺杂工艺完成这种掺杂。然后,在框74中,发射极鳍20电连接在一起,基极鳍22电连接在一起,并且集电极鳍24电连接在一起。
一种双极结型晶体管(BJT)包括:形成在衬底上方的发射极鳍;形成在衬底上方的基极鳍,该基极鳍围绕发射极鳍;以及形成在衬底上方的集电极鳍,该集电极鳍围绕基极鳍,从而形成了BJT。
