Embodiment
As stated in the Background Art, the size forming nano wire and follow-up formation all-around-gate nano-wire transistor with existing technique is bigger than normal, causes the integrated level of semiconductor device lower.
The present inventor finds through research, the reason that the nanowire size causing existing technique to be formed cannot reduce further is, the precision of existing photoetching process and the restriction of etching alignment precision, the mask layer 101(causing prior art to be formed is as shown in Figure 1) size and adjacent mask layer 101 between size cannot reduce further, thus limit the size of nano wire, the integrated level of formed semiconductor device cannot be improved further.
In order to not reduce described mask layer size with in the accuracy situation guaranteeing photoresist exposure and etching, the size of formed nano wire is reduced further, the present inventor finds after further research, after semiconductor substrate surface forms mask layer, the first anisotropic wet etching is adopted to form the first opening; Remove described mask layer afterwards, and the semiconductor layer adopting the former mask layer of the second anisotropic wet etching to cover, form the second opening; Because the formation process of described first opening and the second opening is anisotropic wet etching, therefore the first formed opening and the top dimension of the second opening are all greater than bottom size, and its sidewall tilts relative to surface of insulating layer, thus the semiconductor layer between described second opening and the first opening can form nano wire in subsequent technique; It can thus be appreciated that, the semiconductor layer originally with mask layer covering can form two nano wires, the number of nanowires formed is the twice of prior art, and the size of described mask layer is same as the prior art, the size of therefore formed nano wire reduces further, improves the integrated level of semiconductor device.
For enabling above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage become apparent more, are described in detail the specific embodiment of the present invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
First embodiment
Be described below with reference to the formation method of accompanying drawing to the semiconductor device of the embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 6 to Figure 11 and Figure 13 is the cross-sectional view of the forming process of the semiconductor device of the present embodiment, and Figure 12 is the cross-sectional view of Figure 11 on BB ' direction.
Please refer to Fig. 6, provide Semiconductor substrate 200, described Semiconductor substrate 200 is semiconductor-on-insulator, and described semiconductor-on-insulator comprises: the insulating barrier 202 on substrate 201, substrate 201 surface and the semiconductor layer 203 on insulating barrier 202 surface.
Described Semiconductor substrate 200 is for providing workbench for subsequent technique; The material of described substrate 201 is monocrystalline silicon, and the material of described insulating barrier 202 is silica; The thickness of described semiconductor layer 203 is 20 nanometer ~ 1000 nanometers, and the material of described semiconductor layer 203 is silicon or germanium; When described semiconductor layer 203 is silicon, the material of the nano wire formed in subsequent technique is silicon; When described semiconductor layer 203 is germanium, the material of the nano wire formed in subsequent technique is germanium; Because the effective mass of charge carrier in germanium is comparatively low in silicon, then the mobility of charge carrier in germanium is high, when the material of the nano wire that subsequent technique is formed is germanium, and the more excellent performance of the semiconductor device formed with described nano wire; Because the present embodiment adopts twice anisotropic wet etching to form nano wire in subsequent technique, in order to make the wet etching of subsequent technique be parallel to semiconductor layer 203 surface and etch rate perpendicular to described semiconductor layer 203 surface direction very fast, and it is the slowest at the etch rate of (111) crystal face, in the present embodiment, the crystal face on described semiconductor layer 203 surface is (100).
Please refer to Fig. 7, form mask layer 204 on described Semiconductor substrate 200 surface, described mask layer 204 exposes part semiconductor substrate 200 surface.
The material of described mask layer 204 is silica, silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride; The formation method of described mask layer 204 is chemical vapour deposition technique, thermal oxidation method or tropical resources method; Described mask layer 204 is in the follow-up first anisotropic wet-etching technology, and protection needs semiconductor layer 203 surface forming nano wire.
The width of described mask layer 204 is 5 nanometer-100 nanometers, and the diameter range making the nano wire of follow-up formation is 5 ~ 50 nanometers, and the nanowire size formed is less; The formation process of described mask layer 204 is: adopt depositing operation to form mask film on described Semiconductor substrate 200 surface; Form photoresist layer at described mask film surface, described photoresist layer, through exposure imaging and heat treatment, defines the follow-up correspondence position needing to be formed nano wire; With described photoresist layer for mask, adopt dry etching or wet-etching technology, etch described mask film, form mask layer 204.
But, due to the photoetching process of prior art and the alignment precision of described etching technics limited, cause the size of formed mask layer 204 to reduce further, cause the size of follow-up the is formationed nano wire defined with described mask layer 204 cannot continue reduction; On the other hand, the growth requirement of prior art wishes that again the size of semiconductor device is little as far as possible, to reach higher integration level necessitates; Therefore, the present inventor is being formed successively after mask layer 204, and adopt twice anisotropic wet-etching technology, the semiconductor layer 203 that each mask layer 204 is covered can form two nano wires, the twice of the number of nanowires that prior art is formed; Even if when not reducing mask layer 204 size, the nanowire size formed still reduces, and what meet semiconductor device and integrated circuit further develops demand.
Please refer to Fig. 8, with described mask layer 204 for mask, adopt the first anisotropic wet-etching technology to etch described semiconductor layer 203, in described semiconductor layer 203, form the first opening 205, described first opening 205 exposes insulating barrier 202 surface.
The etching liquid of described first anisotropic wet etching is alkaline solution, comprising: potassium hydroxide (KOH), ammoniacal liquor (NH 4or tetramethyl aqua ammonia (TMAH) OH); When described Semiconductor substrate 200(please refer to Fig. 8) surface crystal face for (100) time, described wet-etching technology is very fast at etch rate that is surperficial perpendicular to Semiconductor substrate 200 and that be parallel in Semiconductor substrate 200 surface direction, and the slowest to the etch rate of crystal face (111); Therefore through the first anisotropic wet etching, and after the follow-up second anisotropic wet etching, the semiconductor layer 203 between the first opening 205 formed and the second opening of follow-up formation can form nano wire.
The width at described first opening 205 top is 5-100 nanometer; Because anisotropic wet-etching technology is very fast at etch rate that is surperficial perpendicular to Semiconductor substrate 200 and that be parallel in Semiconductor substrate 200 surface direction, and the slowest to the etch rate of crystal face (111), the sidewall inclination surperficial relative to insulating barrier 202 of the first therefore formed opening 205; And the top dimension of described first opening 205 is greater than bottom size, and the sidewall of described first opening 205 and described insulating barrier 202 surface are in 50 degree ~ 60 degree angles; Because the shape of the second opening of follow-up formation is identical with the first opening 205, the semiconductor layer 203 therefore between described first opening 205 and the second opening can form nano wire in subsequent technique.
In other embodiments, after described first opening 205 of formation, thermal oxidation technology is adopted to form oxide layer (not shown) at the sidewall of described first opening 205, when the material of described semiconductor layer 203 is silicon, the material of described oxide layer is silica, when the material of described semiconductor layer 203 is germanium, the material of described oxide layer is germanium oxide; Described oxide layer can protect the sidewall of described first opening 205 injury-free in the wet-etching technology of the second follow-up anisotropic.
Please refer to Fig. 9, after formation first opening 205, remove described mask layer 204(as shown in Figure 8);
The technique of described mask layer 204 is dry etching, wet etching or CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) process, is preferably wet etching; Adopt the advantage of wet-etching technology for etching thoroughly, and there is stronger selectivity, semiconductor layer 203 can not be damaged while removal mask layer 204.
Please refer to Figure 10, at the described mask layer 204(of removal as shown in Figure 8), the second anisotropic wet-etching technology is adopted to etch described semiconductor layer 203, form the second opening 206 in semiconductor layer 203 between adjacent first opening 205, described second opening 206 exposes insulating barrier 202 surface.
The formation process of described second opening 206 is identical with the technique forming described first opening 205, and therefore not to repeat here.
The width at described second opening 206 top is 5-100 nanometer; Because anisotropic wet-etching technology is very fast at etch rate that is surperficial perpendicular to Semiconductor substrate 200 and that be parallel in Semiconductor substrate 200 surface direction, and it is the slowest to the etch rate of crystal face (111), the top dimension of described second opening 206 is greater than bottom size, and the sidewall of described second opening 206 and described insulating barrier 202 surface are in 50 degree ~ 60 degree angles.
And, because the etch rate of described second anisotropic wet etch technique to (111) crystal face is the slowest, therefore can not cause too thinning to the sidewall of described first opening 205, therefore in the present embodiment, oxide layer is not formed at described first opening 205 sidewall after formation first opening 205, can Simplified flowsheet, cost-saving.
Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12, Figure 12 is the cross-sectional view of Figure 11 on BB ' direction, at formation second opening 206(as shown in Figure 10) after, remove shown in part described insulating barrier 202(Figure 10), form the nano wire 207 be suspended on above substrate 201.
The technique of the insulating barrier 202 between described removal nano wire 207 and substrate 201 is wet etching, and etching liquid is acid solution, comprising: hydrofluoric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrogen fluorine nitric acid or hydrogen fluorine acetic acid; When the etching liquid of described wet etching is acid solution, described wet etching is isotropic wet etching, can remove described insulating barrier 202 up hill and dale.
Described nano wire 207 is circular nano wire for the formation of succeeding cross sections, and the nano wire of described circle can be used as in all-around-gate nano-wire transistor as channel region;
After the first anisotropic wet etching and the second anisotropic wet etching, described first opening 205(is as shown in Figure 10) and the second opening 206 between the cross section of nano wire 207 be isosceles triangle, atom is in higher free energy state in described nano wire 207; If when being leg-of-mutton nano wire 207 as the channel region of transistor using described cross section, easily producing leakage current, therefore need subsequent technique to carry out thermal annealing to nano wire 207, reduce its free energy, make nano wire 207 smooth surface.
It should be noted that, in other embodiments, when the sidewall of described first opening 205 is formed with oxide layer, then described oxide layer and described insulating barrier 202 are removed simultaneously.
Please refer to Figure 12, Figure 12 is the cross-sectional view of Figure 11 on BB ' direction, and after removal insulating barrier 202, the nano wire 207 formed is suspended on above substrate 201, described nano wire 207 two ends are communicated with remaining semiconductor layer 203 simultaneously, and are supported by remaining insulating barrier 202.
Please refer to Figure 13, after removal insulating barrier 202, thermal annealing is carried out to described nano wire 207, makes the cross section of described nano wire 207a become circle.
The annealing temperature of described thermal annealing is 650 DEG C ~ 1150 DEG C, and the described thermal annealing time is 5 seconds to 5 hours, and air pressure is 0 ~ 760Torr, and the protective gas of described thermal annealing is the one in inert gas or hydrogen, and described inert gas is argon gas, helium or neon.
Through thermal annealing, the smooth surface of described nano wire 207a, in nano wire 207a, the free energy of atom drops to minimum, and the shape of cross section becomes circle, and the diameter of described circle is 5-50 nanometer; The diameter of described circular cross section is by mask layer 204(in front road technique as shown in Figure 8) width determined, and the region that single mask layer 204 covers can form two nano wires, be prior art form the twice of number of nanowires, when not reducing the size of mask layer 204, the size of formed nano wire 207a is reduced, is conducive to the microminiaturization of semiconductor device and integrated.
It should be noted that, described nano wire 207a can be used in the channel region forming all-around-gate nano-wire transistor; When the channel region of described nano wire 207a as transistor, while the channel region dimensions of transistor can be made to reduce, reduce the generation of leakage current.
In the formation method of semiconductor device described in the present embodiment, with mask layer 204 for mask, adopt the first anisotropic wet-etching technology to etch described semiconductor layer 203, and form the first opening 205; After the described mask layer 204 of removal, adopt semiconductor layer 203 described in the second anisotropic wet etching, and form the second opening 206 in original semiconductor layer 203 part covered by described mask layer; Because the formation process of described first opening and the second opening is anisotropic wet etching, it is leg-of-mutton nano wire 207 that the semiconductor layer 203 therefore between described first opening and the second opening forms cross section; After after removal insulating barrier 202 and thermal annealing, described cross section is that circular nano wire 207a is suspended on above substrate 201; Therefore, by the wet-etching technology of twice anisotropic, when not changing mask layer size, semiconductor layer 203 region covered by described mask layer can form two nano wires, thus reduce the size of nano wire, be conducive to the microminiaturization of semiconductor device and integrated.
