技术领域
本发明涉及半导体领域,更具体地,涉及在STI沟槽中形成半导体材料的方法。
背景技术
金属氧化物半导体(MOS)晶体管的速度与MOS晶体管的驱动电流密切相关,而驱动电流又与电荷的迁移率密切相关。例如,当其沟道区域中的电子迁移率高时,NMOS晶体管具有高驱动电流,而当其沟道区域中的空穴迁移率高时,PMOS晶体管具有高驱动电流。
由于其具有高电子迁移率,III族和V族元素的化合物半导体材料(已知为III-V族元素化合物半导体)是形成晶体管的良好备选材料。因此,已经开发出基于III-V族元素化合物半导体而形成的晶体管。但是,由于很难获得块状III-V族元素的晶体,因此III-V族元素化合物半导体薄膜需在其他衬底上生长。由于衬底的晶格常数与热膨胀系数与III-V族元素化合物半导体不同,所以在不同的衬底上生长III-V族元素化合物半导体薄膜面临着困难。各种方法已用于形成不会出现严重缺陷的高质量的III-V族元素化合物半导体。例如,从位于浅沟槽隔离区之间的沟槽处生长III-V族元素化合物半导体以减少穿透位错(threading dislocation)的数目。
典型地从沟槽处形成III-V族元素化合物半导体的步骤包括外延生长,然后进行化学机械抛光(CMP)以去除位于浅沟槽隔离区域上方的多余的III-V族元素化合物半导体。通过形成III-V族元素化合物半导体,可以消除一些缺陷。但是,消除的缺陷是非垂直生长的缺陷。因此,随着III-V族元素化合物半导体的生长,缺陷也在生长,从而延伸至并且受到STI区的侧壁的阻挡。这些缺陷包括堆垛层错(stacking fault)及穿透位错。但是,诸如反相域缺陷(anti-phase domain defect)的其他类型的缺陷可以垂直生长,因此不受浅沟槽隔离区的阻挡。这些缺陷不能通过再生长工艺来消除。反相域缺陷是在化合物半导体生长时产生的缺陷。如果诸如硅或锗的单一元素半导体进行生长,则不会出现反相域缺陷。

附图说明
为了更全面地理解实施例及其优势,现结合附图参考以下描述,其中:
图1至图5是根据一些示例性实施例的形成半导体鳍和鳍式场效应晶体管(FinFET)的中间阶段的截面图;
图6示出了在硅上生长的GaAs晶体结构,其中,由于硅表面上的单台阶所以形成了反相域缺陷;以及
图7示出了在硅上生长的GaAs的晶体结构,其中,由于硅表面上的双台阶所以未形成反相域缺陷。
具体实施方式
下面,详细讨论本发明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。
根据示例性实施例提供了从沟槽中生长半导体区域的方法。本发明根据示例性实施例示出了了半导体区域生长的中间阶段。在各种示图和用作说明的实施例中,类似的参考标号用于表示类似的元件。
图1至图5示出了根据示例性实施例的形成半导体鳍和鳍式场效应晶体管(FinFET)的中间阶段的截面图。参见图1,提供了衬底10,其是半导体晶圆100的一部分。衬底10可以是单晶硅衬底。可选地,可以由诸如SiC的其他材料来形成衬底10。在衬底10中形成诸如浅沟槽隔离(STI)区14的隔离区。因此,衬底10包括位于STI区14之间的区域10A,以及位于STI区14下方的区域10B。STI区14的形成工艺可以包括蚀刻衬底10以形成凹槽(由STI区14占据)、使用介电材料来填充凹槽,并实施平坦化以去除多余的介电材料。介电材料的保留部分形成STI区14。在一些实施例中,STI区14包括氧化硅。
然后,如图2所示,蚀刻衬底10的区域10A(位于STI区14的相对侧壁之间)以形成沟槽16。在一些实施例中,衬底10暴露于沟槽16的顶面10’基本上与STI区14的底面14A平齐。在可选实施例中,衬底部分10A的顶面10’高于或低于STI区14的底面14A。可以使用干蚀刻,同时蚀刻气体选自CF4、Cl2、NF3、SF6以及它们的组合来实施蚀刻。在可选实施例中,可以使用湿蚀刻(例如,将四甲基氢氧化铵(TMAH)、氢氧化钾(KOH)溶液等用作蚀刻剂)来实施蚀刻。在生成的结构中,沟槽16的宽度W1可以小于约150nm。宽度W1也可以介于约10nm和约100nm之间。但是,应该理解,通篇说明中所引用的数值仅为实例,并且可以改变为不同的值。
之后,也如图2所示,如箭头15所代表,实施退火工艺。在一些实施例中,在晶圆100处在低于约870℃的温度下时,实施退火。有利地,通过使用低于约870℃的退火温度,晶圆100将不会在退火后发生弯曲(带有明显的翘曲)。但是,如果使用的温度高于约870℃,则晶圆100可能在退火之后弯曲,并因此给后续的集成电路形成工艺带来极大的工艺难度。衬底10的退火温度也可以高于约400℃,并且低于约800℃或低于约750℃。在一些示例性实施例中,退火温度介于约700℃和约725℃之间。实施退火的时间可以介于约1分钟和约10分钟之间,尽管可以使用更长或更短的时间。
在一些实施例中,在工艺腔室(未示出)中实施退火,并且在退火过程中将工艺气体导入腔室内。在一些实施例中,工艺气体包括氢气(H2)和氯化氢(HCl)。在退火过程中,H2的流速可以高于HCl的流速。例如,H2的流速可以介于约500sccm和约20000sccm之间。HCl的流速可以介于约5sccm和约200sccm之间。在H2中对硅进行退火可以导致位于硅区10A顶面处的硅原子的迁移从而形成图6中详细示出的双台阶(doublestep)。此外,在退火过程中,HCl的引入进一步促进了硅原子的迁移,使得在本发明的低温条件下而非在高于870℃的较高温度条件下,实现双台阶的形成。因此,作为退火的结果,硅区10A的顶面10’从单台阶表面转变为双台阶表面,并因此可以基本消除在后续形成的外延区18(图3)中的反相域缺陷或至少减少反相域缺陷的量。
图3示出了半导体区域18的外延。可与退火一起原位实施外延,其中可在相同的工艺腔室中实施外延和退火,尽管可以使用不同的工艺腔室。半导体区域18从露出的顶面10’处外延生长。在一些实施例中,半导体区域18包括可以是二元或三元的III-V族元素化合物半导体材料。用于形成半导体区域18的示例性III-V族化合物半导体材料可以选自InAs、AlAs、GaAs、InP、GaN、InGaAs、InAlAs、GaSb、AlSb、AlP、GaP以及它们的组合。半导体区域18可以是同质区域,其整体都可由选自以上所列的III-V族元素化合物半导体材料的同一材料形成。半导体区域18也可以是复合区域,具有包括不同材料和/或具有不同组分的多个堆叠的层。例如,半导体区域18的上部相对于衬底10,可具有大于下部的晶格失配。在一些实施例中,半导体区域18包括InAs区域18A、位于InAs区域18A上方的Al2O3区域18B、位于Al2O3区域18B上方的InP区域18C以及位于InP区域18C上方的InAs区域18D。在可选实施例中,跳过Al2O3区域18B的形成,从而相应的半导体区域18包括InAs区域18A、位于InAs区域18A上方的InP区域18C以及位于InP区域18C上方的InAs区域18D。
可以继续外延直至半导体区域18的顶面高于STI区14的顶面14B。然后实施平坦化。平坦化可以包括化学机械抛光(CMP)。继续平坦化直至没有留下覆盖STI区14的半导体区域18。但是,在平坦化之后,半导体区域18中位于STI区14之间的部分得到保留,并且在下文中将其称作半导体带18。在可选实施例中,当半导体区域18的顶面与STI区14的顶面14B平齐或比其低时,停止外延。在这些实施例中,可以跳过或实施平坦化步骤。
参见图4,例如,通过蚀刻步骤使STI区14凹进。因此,部分半导体带18高于STI区14的顶面14B。半导体带18的这部分形成半导体鳍22,如图5所示,半导体鳍22可以用于形成FinFET24。
参见图5,形成栅极介电质26和栅电极28。栅极介电质26可以由诸如氧化硅、氮化硅、氮氧化物、它们形成的多层以及它们的组合的介电材料来形成。栅极介电质26还可以包括高k介电材料。示例性的高k材料可以具有大于约4.0或大于约7.0的k值。栅电极28可以由掺杂的多晶硅、金属、金属氮化物、金属硅化物等形成。栅极介电质26的底端可以接触STI区14的顶面。在形成栅极介电质26和栅电极28之后,可以形成源极区和漏极区(未在示出的平面中)以完成FinFET24的形成。
图6示出了包括从下方的硅区域60处生长的III-V族元素化合物半导体区域62的晶体结构。示出的示例性半导体区域62包括GaAs。使用图例对镓原子、砷原子和硅原子进行标记。图6示出了硅区域60的表面包括级(level)40和级42。从级40转化至级42形成了单台阶44。所以,示出的硅表面是单台阶表面。因此,在其上形成的GaAs晶体62包括两个域A和B,并且用线46示意性的示出了域的边界。因此,在域的边界46处形成反相域缺陷。
但是,通过使用本发明的实施例,可以形成双台阶硅表面,并且将不会发生反相域缺陷。图7示出了包括从衬底部分10A(也在图5中示出)的顶面10’处生长的半导体区域18的晶体结构。示出的示例性半导体区域18也包括GaAs,并且使用图例来对镓原子、砷原子和硅原子进行标记。图7示出了硅区域10A的顶面10’包括级48和级50。从级48转化至级50包括两个台阶52和54。所以,示出的表面10’是双台阶表面。因此,完善的GaAs晶体是从双台阶表面10’处生长的,并且没有形成分隔的域和反相域缺陷。
通过采用使用工艺气体(包括氢气和HCl)的退火,沟槽中的硅表面可以形成双台阶,并且可以将硅表面处的单台阶转变为双台阶。因此,从双台阶表面处形成的化合物半导体可以基本上没有反相域缺陷。可以在例如介于约700℃和约725℃之间的低温下实施退火工艺。在这个温度范围内,借助于HCl,可将硅的单台阶表面可靠地转变为双台阶表面,而完全不会有引起晶圆100翘曲的风险。有利地,当在这个温度范围内退火时,包括其中形成的STI区域的硅晶圆将不会发生翘曲。但是,在传统认知中,为了形成双台阶表面,将单台阶表面转变为双台阶表面所需的退火温度要高于900℃。在这个高温范围内,由于在其中形成的STI区域的影响,晶圆将发生翘曲,并且相应的翘曲的晶圆在随后的半导体工艺中将面临着工艺困难。
根据一些实施例,一种方法包括在包含氢气(H2)和氯化氢(HCl)以作为工艺气体的环境中对硅区域进行退火。在退火步骤之后,从硅区域的表面处生长半导体区域。
根据其他实施例,一种方法包括在低于约870℃的温度条件下对包括硅区域的晶圆进行退火。在退火步骤之前,硅区域的表面具有单台阶。通过退火步骤将单台阶转变为双台阶。在退火步骤之后,从硅区域的表面处生长化合物半导体区域。
在又一些实施例中,一种方法包括在硅衬底中形成STI区域,并且使位于STI区域的两部分之间的一部分硅衬底凹进从而形成凹槽。在形成凹槽的步骤之后,在包括氢气和氯化氢以作为工艺气体的环境中对硅衬底进行退火,其中,在低于约870℃的温度条件下实施退火。在退火步骤之后,从硅衬底的表面处生长化合物半导体区域,其中,硅衬底的表面位于凹槽中。该方法还包括使STI区域形成凹槽,其中,位于STI区域保留部分的顶面上方的部分化合物半导体区域形成半导体鳍。在半导体鳍的侧壁和顶面上形成栅极介电质。在栅极介电质上方形成栅电极。栅极介电质和栅电极形成FinFET的部分。
