Fig. 7 is refer to, in the opening 202(As shown in Figure 6)Interior formation stressor layers 204, the surface of the stressor layers 204 Equal to or higher than 200 surface of substrate.
The material of the stressor layers 204 is SiGe or carborundum;When first area I is used to form PMOS transistor, institute The material for stating stressor layers 204 is SiGe, and compression can be obtained in the channel region of the lower section of gate structure 201;When first area I is used When nmos pass transistor is formed, the material of the stressor layers 204 is carborundum, can in the channel region of the lower section of gate structure 201 Obtain tension.In the present embodiment, the material of the stressor layers 204 is SiGe, and first area I forms PMOS transistor.

The material on the barrier layer 206 is silica or silicon nitride;When the material on the barrier layer 206 is silica, The formation process on the barrier layer 206 is thermal oxidation technology;When the material on the barrier layer 206 is silicon nitride, the barrier layer 206 formation process is tropical resources technique.The barrier layer 206 can be subsequently formed source region and drain region, and remove photoresist In wet chemical cleaning after layer, protect the stressor layers 206 that SiGe is material from corroding, make the shape of stressor layers 206 Looks are good.
The thermal oxidation technology or tropical resources technique can be formed only on substrate 200, stressor layers 204 and 205 surface of silicon layer Barrier layer 206,211 surface of gate electrode layer have silicon oxide layer(It is not shown)Without forming barrier layer 206.Moreover, institute State that 206 thickness of barrier layer that thermal oxidation technology or tropical resources technique are formed is controllable and covering power is good, the stress can be covered Layer 204 is higher than the side wall of 200 part of substrate, and can make the thinner thickness on the barrier layer 206, does not influence subsequently in grid electricity The dimensional accuracy for the second side wall that pole layer 211 and 213 both sides of the first side wall are formed.Further, since the chemical property of silicon compares germanium Vivaciously, can be first with gas reaction and forming silicon nitride or silica in tropical resources technique or thermal oxidation technology.
In the present embodiment, silicon nitride barrier 206, the gas bag of the tropical resources technique are formed using tropical resources technique Include ammonia(NH4), temperature is more than 600 degrees Celsius, and the time is 1 minute~30 minutes, the thickness of the silicon nitride barrier 206 formed Spend for 1 nanometer~5 nanometers.The speed of growth of the tropical resources technique is slower, the thickness on barrier layer 206 more accurately may be used Control;Moreover, the gas of tropical resources technique is easily entered in the groove between gate structure 201 and stressor layers 204, make the resistance to be formed 206 better quality of barrier, covering power are more preferably;In addition, silicon nitride is not easy to be removed by hydrofluoric acid, stressor layers 204 can be protected.
In another embodiment, silica barrier layer 206, the gas of the thermal oxidation technology are formed using thermal oxidation technology For oxygen, temperature is 700 degrees Celsius~1000 degrees Celsius, and the time is 1 minute~30 minutes, the silica barrier layer formed 206 thickness is 1 nanometer~5 nanometers.The speed that the thermal oxidation technology forms barrier layer 206 is fast, when advantageously reducing technique Between;However, the silica is easily removed by hydrofluoric acid, therefore, the thickness of the silica barrier layer 206 needs to guarantee Stressor layers 204 are protected in cleaning process, without being completely removed in cleaning process.
In other embodiments, the formation process on the barrier layer 206 is atom layer deposition process, the atomic layer deposition The temperature of technique is 350 degrees Celsius~550 degrees Celsius, and air pressure is the support of 0.1 support~0.5, and the thickness on the barrier layer 206 formed is 1 nanometer~5 nanometers.The barrier layer 206 formed covers substrate 200,201 surface of stressor layers 204, silicon layer 205 and gate structure; 206 thickness of barrier layer that the atom layer deposition process is formed is thin and covering power is good, and substrate 200 and gate structure 201 The barrier layer of top surface can be removed subsequently through anisotropic dry etch process.
0 is please referred to Fig.1, using the barrier layer 206 on 200 surface of anisotropic dry etch process removal substrate, and After the barrier layer 206 for removing 200 surface of substrate, the second side wall 215 is formed on 200 surface of substrate of 201 both sides of gate structure.
When forming barrier layer 206 using tropical resources or tropical resources technique, between the gate structure 201 and stressor layers 200 surface of substrate also there is barrier layer 206 to cover, if directly forming the second side wall 215 on 206 surface of barrier layer, can lead Cause formed 215 size of the second side wall inaccurate.
In another embodiment, the use atom layer deposition process forms barrier layer 206, then substrate 200 and grid knot 201 surface of structure is all covered with barrier layer 206, also needs to remove using anisotropic dry etch process, to ensure the second side The accurate size of wall 215.
In the present embodiment, the barrier layer 206 on 200 surface of substrate is removed before the second side wall 215 is formed, it is described to remove lining The method on the barrier layer 206 on 200 surface of bottom is anisotropic dry etch process, the quarter of the anisotropic dry etching Erosion gas includes CF4、H2And O2, air pressure is the millitorr of 0.1 millitorr~100, and etch period is 15 seconds~60 seconds.The anisotropy Dry etch process can retain the barrier layers 206 of 205 sidewall surfaces of the stressor layers 204 and silicon layer so that follow-up 206 surface of stressor layers is protected in cleaning process, while removes the barrier layer 206 on 200 surface of substrate, to form accurate size The second side wall 215.
The material of second side wall 215 is the combination of silica, silicon nitride or silica and silicon nitride, second side The formation process of wall 215 is depositing operation and is etched back to technique, second side wall 215 be used to defining the source region that is subsequently formed and Drain region(It is not shown)Position.
The source region and the formation process in drain region are:After 206 and second side wall 215 of barrier layer is formed, in substrate 200 Photoresist layer is formed with 201 surface of gate structure(It is not shown), the photoresist layer defines the position in source region and drain region, with institute It is mask to state photoresist layer, is formed using ion implantation technology in the stressor layers 204 or substrate 200 of 201 both sides of gate structure Source region and drain region.In the present embodiment, the first area I is used to form PMOS transistor, and the material of the stressor layers 204 is SiGe, therefore the ion that the source region and drain region are injected is p-type ion.

, it is necessary to the photoresist layer be removed, to carry out follow-up technique, such as in substrate after source region and drain region is formed The gate structure both sides in 200 other regions form stressor layers, and the material of the stressor layers can be carborundum, make the grid Structure can form nmos pass transistor.However, after photoresist layer is removed, the semiconductor device on the substrate 200 and its surface Part body structure surface easily adheres to the impurity of preamble technique generation, such as oxide and organic matter, therefore is carrying out subsequent technique step , it is necessary to be cleaned to the semiconductor device structure of substrate 200 and its surface, to remove the impurity before rapid.
In the present embodiment, impurity, the cleaning solution of the wet chemical cleaning are removed using wet chemical cleaning Including hydrofluoric acid, SC-1 solution or SPM solution etc., different types of impurity such as oxide, metal ion can be removed or had Machine thing etc..Wherein, hydrofluoric acid easily causes to corrode to silicon germanium material, and in the present embodiment, the stressor layers 204 using SiGe as material Side wall higher than 200 surface of substrate is blocked layer 206 and covers, can be described in protection during the wet chemical cleaning Stressor layers 204, so as to ensure that the pattern of the stressor layers 204 is good, stablize formed transistor performance from damage.
The present embodiment is higher than substrate surface using tropical resources technique after silicon Germanium stress layer and silicon layer is formed in stressor layers Sidewall sections form barrier layer, and the stressor layers top surface has silicon layer;The formation of source region and drain region is completed, and is being gone After photoresist layer, carry out wet chemical cleaning remove substrate or semiconductor device structure surface it is miscellaneous when, the silicon Germanium stressor layers are protected higher than the part of substrate surface, thus stressor layers will not washed liquid erosion, ensure that should The pattern of power layer is good.
In conclusion being formed in the substrate of gate structure both sides after stressor layers, in the substrate, gate structure and answer Power layer surface forms barrier layer.The barrier layer can cover the surface that the stressor layers are exposed;Be subsequently formed source region and In wet chemical cleaning process after drain region, the barrier layer can protect the surface of the stressor layers from damage, so that It ensure that the stressor layers pattern of the formation is good, then ensure that source region and the stabilization of drain region electric conductivity, make what is formed Transistor performance is good.
