Because described pseudo-side wall 214 is for defining formed opening 202(as shown in Figure 6) and the position of stressor layers 204, and, in the etching technics of formation opening 202, described pseudo-side wall 214 inevitably sustains damage and is thinned, therefore need to remove described pseudo-side wall 214 and form accurate in size the second side wall at gate electrode layer 211 and the first side wall 213 both sides, to define the source region of follow-up formation and the position in drain region.
In the present embodiment, the material of described pseudo-side wall 214 is silicon nitride, and the technique of removing described pseudo-side wall 214 is wet-etching technology, and etching liquid comprises phosphoric acid.In the present embodiment, the material of described the first mask 203 and the second mask layer 212 is also silicon nitride, and therefore described the second mask 212 can be removed with described pseudo-side wall 214 simultaneously, makes the second side wall size of follow-up formation accurate.
Please refer to Fig. 9, removing described pseudo-side wall 214(as shown in Figure 7) afterwards, form barrier layer 206 at described substrate 200 surfaces, grid structure 201 surfaces, the sidewall surfaces of stressor layers 204 and the sidewall of silicon layer 205 and top surface.
The material on described barrier layer 206 is silica or silicon nitride; In the time that the material on described barrier layer 206 is silica, the formation technique on described barrier layer 206 is thermal oxidation technology; When the material on described barrier layer 206 is silicon nitride, the formation technique on described barrier layer 206 is hot nitriding process.Described barrier layer 206 can be in follow-up formation source region and drain region, and removes in the wet chemical cleaning after photoresist layer, and the stressor layers 206 that protection SiGe is material is avoided corroding, and makes the pattern of stressor layers 206 good.
Described thermal oxidation technology or hot nitriding process can only form barrier layer 206 on substrate 200, stressor layers 204 and silicon layer 205 surfaces, and described gate electrode layer 211 surfaces have silicon oxide layer (not shown) and can not form barrier layer 206.And, barrier layer 206 thickness that described thermal oxidation technology or hot nitriding process form are controlled and covering power good, can cover the sidewall of described stressor layers 204 higher than substrate 200 parts, and can make the thinner thickness on described barrier layer 206, do not affect the dimensional accuracy of follow-up the second side wall forming in gate electrode layer 211 and the first side wall 213 both sides.In addition, because the chemical property of silicon is more active than germanium, in hot nitriding process or thermal oxidation technology, can be first with gas reaction and form silicon nitride or silica.
In the present embodiment, adopt hot nitriding process to form silicon nitride barrier 206, the gas of described hot nitriding process comprises ammonia (NH 4), temperature is greater than 600 degrees Celsius, and the time is 1 minute~30 minutes, and the thickness of the silicon nitride barrier 206 forming is 1 nanometer~5 nanometer.The speed of growth of described hot nitriding process is slower, makes the gauge on barrier layer 206 more accurately controlled; And the gas of hot nitriding process is easy to enter in the groove between grid structure 201 and stressor layers 204, make barrier layer 206 better quality, the covering power of formation better; In addition, silicon nitride is difficult for being removed by hydrofluoric acid, can protect stressor layers 204.
In another embodiment, adopt thermal oxidation technology to form silica barrier layer 206, the gas of described thermal oxidation technology is oxygen, and temperature is 700 degrees Celsius~1000 degrees Celsius, time is 1 minute~30 minutes, and the thickness of the silica barrier layer 206 forming is 1 nanometer~5 nanometer.It is fast that described thermal oxidation technology forms the speed on barrier layer 206, is conducive to reduce the process time; But described silica is easily removed by hydrofluoric acid, therefore, the thickness of described silica barrier layer 206 need to guarantee in cleaning process, to protect stressor layers 204, and can in cleaning process, not be completely removed.
In other embodiments, the formation technique on described barrier layer 206 is atom layer deposition process, the temperature of described atom layer deposition process is 350 degrees Celsius~550 degrees Celsius, and air pressure is 0.1 holder~0.5 holder, and the thickness on the barrier layer 206 forming is 1 nanometer~5 nanometer.The barrier layer 206 forming covers substrate 200, stressor layers 204, silicon layer 205 and grid structure 201 surfaces; Barrier layer 206 thin thickness and covering power that described atom layer deposition process forms are good, and the barrier layer of substrate 200 and grid structure 201 top surfaces can be removed by anisotropic dry etch process follow-up.
Please refer to Figure 10, adopt anisotropic dry etch process to remove the barrier layer 206 on substrate 200 surfaces, and after removing the barrier layer 206 on substrate 200 surfaces, form the second side wall 215 on substrate 200 surfaces of grid structure 201 both sides.
In the time adopting hot nitrogenize or hot nitriding process to form barrier layer 206, substrate 200 surfaces between described grid structure 201 and stressor layers also have barrier layer 206 and cover, if directly form the second side wall 215 on 206 surfaces, described barrier layer, can cause the second formed side wall 215 size inaccuracy.
In another embodiment, described employing atom layer deposition process forms barrier layer 206, substrate 200 and grid structure 201 surfaces are all coated with barrier layer 206, need to adopt equally anisotropic dry etch process to remove, accurate to ensure the size of the second side wall 215.
In the present embodiment, remove the barrier layer 206 on substrate 200 surfaces before forming the second side wall 215, the method on the barrier layer 206 on described removal substrate 200 surfaces is anisotropic dry etch process, and the etching gas of described anisotropic dry etching comprises CF 4, H 2and O 2, air pressure is 0.1 millitorr~100 millitorr, etch period is 15 seconds~60 seconds.Described anisotropic dry etch process can retain the barrier layer 206 of described stressor layers 204 and silicon layer 205 sidewall surfaces; thereby in follow-up cleaning process, protect described stressor layers 206 surfaces; remove the barrier layer 206 on substrate 200 surfaces, to form accurate in size the second side wall 215 simultaneously.
The material of described the second side wall 215 is the combination of silica, silicon nitride or silica and silicon nitride, the formation technique of described the second side wall 215 is depositing operation and time etching technics, and described the second side wall 215 is for defining the source region of follow-up formation and the position of drain region (not shown).
The formation technique in described source region and drain region is: after forming barrier layer 206 and the second side wall 215, form photoresist layer (not shown) at substrate 200 and grid structure 201 surfaces, described photoresist layer has defined the position in source region and drain region, taking described photoresist layer as mask, adopt stressor layers 204 or substrate 200 interior formation source region and the drain region of ion implantation technology in grid structure 201 both sides.In the present embodiment, described first area I is used to form PMOS transistor, and the material of described stressor layers 204 is SiGe, and the ion that therefore described source region and drain region are injected is p-type ion.
Please continue to refer to Figure 10, after forming source region and drain region, remove described photoresist layer, and described substrate 200, grid structure 201 and stressor layers 204 are carried out to wet chemical cleaning.
After forming source region and drain region, need to remove described photoresist layer, to carry out follow-up technique, for example, form stressor layers in the grid structure both sides in substrate 200 other regions, and the material of described stressor layers can be carborundum, make described grid structure can form nmos pass transistor.But, after removing photoresist layer, the impurity that preorder technique produces is easily adhered on the semiconductor device structure surface on described substrate 200 and surface thereof, for example oxide and organic substance, therefore before carrying out subsequent process steps, need to clean the semiconductor device structure on substrate 200 and surface thereof, to remove described impurity.
In the present embodiment, adopt wet chemical cleaning to remove impurity, the cleaning fluid of described wet chemical cleaning comprises hydrofluoric acid, SC-1 solution or SPM solution etc., can remove dissimilar impurity such as oxide, metal ion or organic substance etc.Wherein, hydrofluoric acid easily causes corrosion to silicon germanium material; and in the present embodiment; stressor layers 204 taking SiGe as material is blocked layer 206 higher than the sidewall on substrate 200 surfaces and covers; can in described wet chemical cleaning process, protect described stressor layers 204 to avoid damage; thereby the pattern that ensures described stressor layers 204 is good, make formed transistor performance stable.
The present embodiment, after forming silicon Germanium stress layer and silicon layer, adopt hot nitriding process to form barrier layer in stressor layers higher than the sidewall sections of substrate surface, and described stressor layers top surface has silicon layer; In the formation that completes source region and drain region; and after removing photoresist layer; carry out wet chemical cleaning while removing substrate or semiconductor device structure surface assorted; described silicon Germanium stress layer is all protected higher than the part of substrate surface; therefore stressor layers can not be subject to the erosion of cleaning fluid, has ensured that the pattern of stressor layers is good.
