Description

边缘圆化的场效应晶体管及制造方法
背景技术
数据存储器件是多种电子器件(诸如计算机、智能手机、数字内容播放器(如,MP3播放器)、游戏机、控制系统等)中的重要部分。许多电子器件包含非挥发固态存储器器件,诸如快闪存储器(flash memory)。一种常见的快闪存储器器件类型是电荷补获(charge trapping,CT)与非(NAND)集成电路(IC)。图1显示例示性CT-与非系快闪存储器IC。快闪存储器IC100包含制造在单块半导体衬底上的CT-与非存储器单元阵列110、控制电路120、列译码器(column decoder)130、行译码器(rowdecoder)140、输入/输出(I/0)缓冲器150等。根据多种由快闪存储器IC100内部及/或从快闪存储器IC100输出所接收的控制信号180,在存储器单元阵列110中的地址170、175操作控制电路120、列译码器130、行译码器140、I/O缓冲器150等以读及写数据160。快闪存储器IC100的电路是本技术领域中现有的,因此那些快闪存储器IC100中不特别于本发明实施例的态样将不会被进一步讨论。
现在参考图2,显示例示性存储器单元阵列。CT-与非存储器单元阵列110包含多个CT场效应晶体管(FET)210、多个漏极选择栅220、多个源极选择栅230、多个位线(bit line)240、多个字线250、多个漏极选择信号线260及多个源极选择信号线270。阵列110的各个列包含漏极选择栅220、多个CT-FET210及在相对的位线240及接地电位(groundpotential)280之间串联连接源极至漏极的源极选择栅230。各个多个CT-FET210的栅极在阵列110的各个行中耦接至对应字线250。各个漏极选择栅220的栅极连接至对应的漏极选择信号线260。各个源极选择栅230的栅极连接至对应漏极选择信号线270。在一个实例中,CT-FET可为硅-氧化物-氮化物-氧化物-硅(SONOS)FET等。CT-与非存储器单元阵列110是本技术领域中现有的,因此那些CT-与非存储器单元阵列110中不特别于本发明实施例的态样将不会被进一步讨论。
在CT-与非存储器单元阵列110中给定的存储器单元是由注入(inject)电荷至横跨CT-FET210的穿隧介电层的电荷补获层(chargetrapping layer)而编程(program)。给定存储器单元借由移除横跨穿隧介电层的电荷补获层的电荷而擦除(erase)。在一个实例中,使用富尔-诺罕(Fowler-Nordheim,F-N)隧道将CT-FET210编程及擦除。编程及擦除CT-FET存储器单元210的工艺伤害了穿隧介电层,而导致可表现在快闪存储器IC100上的有限次数的编程-擦除循环。因此,CT-FET存储器单元210等仍有需要改善。
发明内容

具体实施方式
以下为参照随附图式说明的范例详述合乎本发明的实施例。然而本发明将以下述实施例而说明,将了解本发明不以下列实施例为限。相反地,本发明想要包含于借由随附的权利要求所定义的本发明的取代、修改及等效的范畴。而且,于本发明下列的详述说明中,说明多数具体细节用以了解本发明。然而,应了解本发明无需具体细节也可实行。换句话说,未详述揭露现有的方法、程序、组件及电路以免模糊本发明的态样。
于本申请中,「分离性(disjunctive)」的使用想要包含「结合性(conjunctive)」。「定冠词」或「不定冠词」的使用不想要指基数(cardinality)。具体而言,参考「该」物或「一」物想要标示多个所述可能的物中的一者。
参考图3,其显示根据本发明的一个实施例的存储器单元阵列结构。于一实例中,存储器单元阵列可为CT-与非存储器单元阵列110。然而,所欲为本发明的实施例可应用至任何场效应晶体管器件。于一实例中,各个CT-FET的列可由浅沟槽隔(STI)区305隔开。各个CT-FET可包含漏极区310、源极区315、信道区320、穿隧介电区325(也通常意指底介电区)、电荷补获区330、区块介电区335(也通常意指顶介电区)及栅极区340。源极及漏极区310、315可为衬底345中具有第一类型杂质重掺杂浓度的半导体区。于一实例中,源极及漏极区310、315可为以磷或砷重掺杂的硅。信道区320可为置(dispose)在横向源极及漏极区310、315之间,于衬底345中具有第二类型杂质适当掺杂浓度的半导体区。于一实例中,信道区320可为适当经硼掺杂的硅。穿隧介电区325可为置在信道区320及源极及漏极区310、315邻接部分上方的介电层。于一实例中,穿隧介电区325可为硅氧化物、氧氮化物、硅氧氮化物等层。电荷补获区330可为置在穿隧介电区325及区块介电区335之间的介电层、半导体层等层。于一实例中,电荷补获区330可为氮化物、富硅氮化物(silicon-rich-nitride)等层。区块介电区335可为置在电荷补获区330及栅极区340之间的介电层。于一实例中,区块介电区335可为硅氧化物、氧氮化物、硅氧氮化物等层。栅极区340可为半导体或置在相对于电荷补获区330的区块介电区335上的导电层。于一实例中,栅极区340可为具有第一类型杂质重掺杂浓度的多晶硅层。
区块介电区335的表面在栅极区340形成前被氮化。区块介电区335的表面的氮化物抑制在区块介电区335接口氧化侵蚀入栅极区340。因此,当栅极边缘在下列氧化步骤圆化时,区块介电335的厚度在栅极区340在中心及边缘为实质相同。
现在参考图4,显示根据本发明的实施例的CT-FET的放大剖面图。区块介电区335的氮化物410减少氧化侵蚀至栅极区340。减少的侵蚀导致在边缘的区块介电厚度420是实质与在栅极区340中心的有效介电厚度425相同,其增加了编程-擦除容受力(endurance)。相比之下,图5A显示根据传统技术的栅极区340不具有明显圆化的边缘510的CT-FET。当CT-FET的栅极区340不具有任何明显圆化的边缘510,擦除时在栅极区340边缘的电场实质较高。因为来自栅极边缘的电子注入,在边缘实质上较高的电场减少了CT-FET编程-擦除容受力。在图5B中,说明借由根据传统技术氧化而制造具有栅极区圆化边缘520的CT-FET。栅极侧壁氧化至圆栅极角520制造使得成在栅极边缘的区块介电530比在栅极中心的区块介电540的厚的侵蚀。起因于氧化的区块介电区335侵蚀至栅极区340,减少了有效的电场横跨区块介电区335。因为区块介电区335侵蚀至栅极区340减少了快闪存储器IC的编程-擦除速度,区块介电335的有效厚度增加。因此,使用区块介电氮化物抑制在栅极区边缘的氧化侵蚀的栅极侧壁工程相较于传统技术改善了快闪存储器IC中CT-FET的性能。也可以使用区块介电氮化物抑制在栅极区边缘的氧化侵蚀的栅极侧壁工程可施用以改善其它集成电路(包含FET)的性能。
现在参考图6A-6B,显示根据本发明的一个实施例的制造存储器单元阵列的方法。制造存储器单元阵列的方法将进一步参考图7A-7E来说明,其说明根据本发明的一个实施例的存储器单元阵列的制造。如图6A及图7A所描绘,在605的工艺于半导体晶圆衬底702上以多种初始工艺,诸如清洁、沉积、掺杂、蚀刻及/或其它等开始。衬底702可为以第一掺杂类型于第一浓度掺杂的半导体。于一实例中,衬底702可为适当掺杂硼(P)的硅。
在610,穿隧介电区706形成在衬底702上。于一实例中,穿隧介电区706可借由在存储器单元阵列区中的衬底702的经氧化曝露的表面以任何现有热干式氧化工艺而形成。于其它实例中,穿隧介电区706可借由由任何现有化学气相沉积工艺沉积硅氧氮化物薄膜而形成。于一实例中,可形成厚度约3至8纳米的穿隧介电区706。
现在参考图7B,在615,电荷补获区708形成在穿隧介电区706上。在620,区块介电区710形成在电荷补获区708上。于一实例中,电荷补获区及区块介电区可由任何现有工艺如化学气相沉积(CVD)或原子层沉积(ALD),在穿隧介电区706上由第一沉积氮化物层708而形成。氮化物层可包含具有硅对氮的原子比约为3:4或更大的富硅氮化物。电荷补获区可借由沉积多层,例如在富硅氮化物层上的氮化物层而形成。此外,一或多层可具有实质上固定及/或分级的浓度轮廓。之后可由任何现有工艺将牺牲氧化物形成在硅氮化物层上。之后在部分的剩余氮化物层氧化形成氧氮化物或硅氧氮化物层710前可回蚀刻(etch back)牺牲氧化物及部分的氮化物层。于一实例中,所得电荷补获区708可形成约4至15纳米的厚度及所得区块介电区710可形成约3至8纳米的厚度。
在625,经曝露的区块介电区710的表面是被氮化的氮化物712。于一实例中,氧氮化物或硅氧氮化物层710经曝露的表面是在炉退火(furnace anneal)中等工艺曝露于氮。
现在参考图7C,在630,栅极区714形成在区块介电区710上。于一实例中,多晶硅层714借由任何现有工艺诸如化学气相沉积在氮化氧氮化物层712、710上而沉积。将光刻胶(photo resist)沉积在多晶硅层714上及由任何现有光刻工艺图案化以形成栅极/电荷补获掩模716。现在参考图7D,多晶硅层714、被氮化氧氮化物层712、710及透过栅极/电荷补获掩模716曝照的氮化物层708之后由任何现有各向异性蚀刻工艺选择性蚀刻。栅极/电荷补获掩模716之后可由任何现有工艺诸如刻胶剥除或刻胶灰化所移除。
现在参考图6B及图7E,在635,将栅极区714及视需要的电荷补获区708氧化,其中,在借由氮化区块介电区712、710而抑制侵蚀时,完成栅极区714中的栅极角圆化边缘718。于一实例中,栅极区714的侧壁及视需要的电荷补获区708,被氧化以形成栅极区712,以及视需要具有被抑制侵蚀的经抑制的圆化边缘718及侧壁介电层720的电荷补获区708。
在640,该工艺接着多种接续工艺,诸如植入、掺杂、蚀刻、清洁及/或其它等,以形成一或多个额外区,诸如源极、漏极及信道区、栅极、源极及漏极接触、周围电路、互连、通孔、钝化层及/或其它等。源极/漏极区704可为部分以第二掺杂类型经第二浓度掺杂的衬底702。于一实例中,源极/漏极区704可为经磷或砷(N+)重掺杂的硅。较佳为上述制造存储器单元阵列的方法也可包含其它额外工艺且可从上述顺序改变工艺顺序。
本发明的实施例于圆化栅极区的尖边缘及角时借由区块介电区至栅极区而有利地抑制侵蚀。借由区块介电区的氮化有利地抑制侵蚀。因为于氧化圆化栅极边缘及角的期间边缘侵蚀(edge encroachment)被抑制,使得栅极区及信道区之间在栅极区的中心及边缘的电子氧化物厚度(EOT)是实质相同的。更进一步,编程-擦除速度及容受度借由栅极区抑制的边缘侵蚀及/或在栅极区及信道区之间在栅极区的中心及边缘实质上相同的EOT而明显地增加。
本发明的特定实施例的前述描述是提供图解及说明的目的。其并非想要限制本发明为所揭露的特定形式,且明显地,经由上述教示而作出许多修改及改变是可能的。选用的实施例及说明想要最佳说明本发明的原理及其特殊应用,借以使本技术领域中的人士可最佳化使用本发明及多种经多种修改的实施例以企图适合于特殊用途。本发明的范畴是由随附的权利要求及其等效所定义。
