Technical field
The invention belongs to semiconductor technology and ic manufacturing technology field, relate to the method for positive charge density in a kind of effective reduction silicon-on-insulator (SOI) material oxygen buried layer.
Background technology
That integrated circuit based on SOI technology has is low in energy consumption, speed fast, integration density advantages of higher, thereby obtains developing rapidly and increasingly extensive application.The advantage of SOI circuit derives from the unique texture that SOI material oxygen buried layer is isolated top layer device and substrate completely.Particularly, the existence of oxygen buried layer has reduced the interface area of device, has strengthened the ability of circuit anti event of single particle upset (SEU), makes SOI become the preferred material of making anti-SEU circuit.Yet, the existence of oxygen buried layer has also reduced the level of circuit anti-integral dose radiation, compare with body silicon circuit, SOI circuit is more responsive to integral dose radiation, and this is because in SOI field-effect transistor (MOSFET), because a parasitic back of the body raceway groove has been introduced in the existence of oxygen buried layer, under radiation environment, when the radiation damage of oxygen buried layer acquires a certain degree, parasitic back of the body raceway groove will be opened, cause SOI circuit leakage current to increase, even disabler.
In addition, with respect to the circuit based on part depletion (PD) SOI technology, entirely exhaust (FD) SOI circuit and there is more excellent electric property and more outstanding anti-SEU ability.But the electric coupling problem because FD SOI MOSFET exists positive grid and back-gated transistor, causes the radiation damage remote-effects of oxygen buried layer to the threshold voltage of positive gate transistor, so it is also more responsive than PDSOI MOSFET to integral dose radiation.Especially, for the less sub-micro FDSOI MOSFET of current threshold voltage, less threshold voltage shift just may cause device leakage electric current compared with leap ahead.So, the impact bringing to positive gate transistor in order to suppress the drift of back-gated transistor threshold voltage under radiation environment, and avoid parasitic unlatching of carrying on the back raceway groove, must carry out anti-integral dose radiation reinforced to the oxygen buried layer of SOI material.
At present, conventional and effective SOI oxygen buried layer reinforcement means is that certain dopant of doses is injected in oxygen buried layer in Implantation mode, and SOI material is carried out to modification, and then improves the anti-integral dose radiation ability of oxygen buried layer.Yet, when oxygen buried layer being reinforced in Implantation mode, tend to some electrical properties of oxygen buried layer to have a negative impact, and can directly have influence on the electric property of device.Wherein, the most remarkable on the impact of device with the rising of positive charge density in oxygen buried layer.Because the positive charge density raising in oxygen buried layer will cause the variation of back-gated transistor threshold voltage, and may cause the Leakage Current of n channel SOI MOSFET to increase.
In the time of for illustrative material modification, may cause the rising of positive charge density in oxygen buried layer, Fig. 1 has provided high frequency capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristic curve of SOI oxygen buried layer note nitrogen front and back corresponding Metal-oxide-semicondutor (MOS) electric capacity.By Fig. 1, can be seen, with respect to the C-V curve before buried regions note nitrogen, there is larger negative sense drift along transverse axis in the C-V curve after buried regions note nitrogen.Theoretical according to mos capacitance C-V, this means that the note nitrogen that oxygen buried layer is carried out has caused the obvious rising of positive charge density in buried regions.Therefore, when in Implantation mode, SOI material being carried out to modification, and while being attended by the rising of positive charge density in oxygen buried layer, so, take certain technology effectively to reduce the positive charge density in oxygen buried layer, when reaching modification object, reduce its harmful effect that device and circuit are caused and just become particularly important.
A method that reduces positive charge density in modification SOI material buried regions is to reduce the dosage of Implantation, but when implantation dosage is limited, also limited the flexibility of SOI material being carried out to ion implantation modification, make it to be difficult in the larger context material modification technique to be optimized, cause and can not give full play to the effect of Implantation in SOI material modification.
