Description
技术领域technical field
本申请涉及半导体集成电路的刻蚀工艺,尤其涉及一种栅极侧壁层的制作方法及MOS器件的制作方法。The present application relates to an etching process of a semiconductor integrated circuit, in particular to a method for manufacturing a gate sidewall layer and a method for manufacturing a MOS device.
背景技术Background technique
随着半导体集成电路技术的飞速发展,半导体芯片正向更高元器件密度、更高集成度的方向发展,使得半导体器件达到更快的运算速度、更大的数据存储量。目前,半导体器件的制造技术已经进入32纳米乃至18纳米工艺,栅极宽度的最小特征尺寸已经达到45纳米甚至更小,其下方的沟道长度也不断减小。With the rapid development of semiconductor integrated circuit technology, semiconductor chips are developing towards higher component density and higher integration, enabling semiconductor devices to achieve faster computing speeds and greater data storage capacity. At present, the manufacturing technology of semiconductor devices has entered the process of 32nm or even 18nm, the minimum feature size of the gate width has reached 45nm or even smaller, and the length of the channel below it is also continuously decreasing.
MOS晶体管由源极、漏极、金属硅化物阻挡层(SAB)、栅极以及栅极侧壁层组成。但在MOS晶体管的制造过程中,在对栅极的侧壁层进行干法刻蚀的时候,很容易破坏硅衬底中的源漏极结构,从而导致漏电流产生,这一问题限制了MOS晶体管在半导体器件中的应用。A MOS transistor consists of a source, a drain, a metal silicide barrier layer (SAB), a gate, and gate sidewall layers. However, in the manufacturing process of MOS transistors, when the sidewall layer of the gate is dry-etched, it is easy to damage the source-drain structure in the silicon substrate, resulting in leakage current, which limits the MOS Applications of transistors in semiconductor devices.
为了减小侧壁层刻蚀引起的漏电流,目前主要采用以下方法:一种,减少干法刻蚀的时间,使得SAB具有较大的厚度,以减少对硅衬底的破坏。然而过厚的SAB会影响后续的工艺窗口;另一种方法,在源极与漏极下面进行轻掺杂,形成具有高电阻率的轻掺杂区域(LDD),从而减少漏电流的产生;第三种,在对栅极侧壁层进行干法刻蚀后,增加一个热处理过程,使得干法刻蚀工艺对硅衬底造成的损害得到恢复,然而热处理工艺会导致器件之间位置发生变化,影响器件的稳定性。In order to reduce the leakage current caused by the etching of the sidewall layer, the following methods are mainly used at present: one, reducing the time of dry etching, so that the SAB has a larger thickness, so as to reduce damage to the silicon substrate. However, too thick SAB will affect the subsequent process window; another method is to perform light doping under the source and drain to form a lightly doped region (LDD) with high resistivity, thereby reducing the generation of leakage current; The third is to add a heat treatment process after dry etching the gate sidewall layer, so that the damage caused by the dry etching process to the silicon substrate can be recovered, but the heat treatment process will cause the position between the devices to change , affecting the stability of the device.
具体而言,在公开号为CN102867755A的中国专利申请中公开了一种低GIDL电流的NMOS器件的方法。该方法通过在P阱形成之后的BF2离子注入工艺来调节阈值电压,把BF2注入到SiO2/Si界面下的沟道区,用F抑制B离子的扩散,降低沟道区与漏极的横向电场,从而在不影响器件性能的前提下降低GIDL电流。该方法的工艺步骤为:对晶圆进行阱注入形成P阱,对P阱进行BF2注入以调节阈值电压;在晶圆表面依次沉积栅极绝缘层和栅极多晶硅层,刻蚀除去多余多晶硅层形成栅极;在栅极的周围制备第一侧壁层,形成第一侧壁层后对器件进行轻掺杂形成轻掺杂源漏结构;在第一侧壁层外围制备第二侧壁层,形成第二侧壁层后进行源漏注入形成源漏极。虽然该方法能够在一定程度上降低沟道区与漏极的横向电场,减少漏电流的产生,但是该方法不能减少由于栅极侧壁层的刻蚀而带来的漏电流,并不能完全解决栅极漏电流对MOS器件的破坏。Specifically, a method for NMOS devices with low GIDL current is disclosed in Chinese patent application publication number CN102867755A. In this method, the threshold voltage is adjusted through the BF2 ion implantation process after the formation of the P well, BF2 is implanted into the channel region under the SiO2 /Si interface, F is used to suppress the diffusion of B ions , and the channel region and the drain electrode are reduced. The lateral electric field can reduce the GIDL current without affecting the device performance. The process steps of the method are: performing well implantation on the wafer to form a P well, and performing BF2 implantation on the P well to adjust the threshold voltage; sequentially depositing a gate insulating layer and a gate polysilicon layer on the surface of the wafer, and etching to remove excess polysilicon layer to form the gate; prepare the first sidewall layer around the gate, and lightly dope the device after forming the first sidewall layer to form a lightly doped source-drain structure; prepare the second sidewall around the first sidewall layer layer, after forming the second sidewall layer, performing source and drain implantation to form source and drain electrodes. Although this method can reduce the lateral electric field between the channel region and the drain to a certain extent and reduce the generation of leakage current, this method cannot reduce the leakage current caused by the etching of the sidewall layer of the gate, and cannot completely solve the problem. Gate leakage current damages MOS devices.
在公开号为CN101459140的中国专利申请中公开了一种利用SAB增加侧壁层宽度的嵌入式EEPROM工艺方法。该方法的工艺步骤为:在多晶硅栅极形成以及LDD注入后,沉积氧化膜和氮化膜,刻蚀栅极底部的氮化膜,形成侧壁层;沉积氧化膜,作为第一层硅化物阻挡层;进行源漏极注入;沉积一层氮化硅作为第二层硅化物阻挡层,刻蚀去除第二层硅化物阻挡层和第一层硅化物阻挡层,最后形成硅化物。虽然该方法能够在一定程度上降低器件的漏电,但是该方法不能降低沟道区与漏极的横向电场,并不能完全解决栅极漏电流对MOS器件的破坏。A Chinese patent application with publication number CN101459140 discloses an embedded EEPROM process method using SAB to increase the width of the sidewall layer. The process steps of the method are: after the polysilicon gate is formed and the LDD is implanted, deposit an oxide film and a nitride film, etch the nitride film at the bottom of the gate to form a sidewall layer; deposit an oxide film as the first layer of silicide barrier layer; performing source and drain implantation; depositing a layer of silicon nitride as the second layer of silicide barrier layer, etching and removing the second layer of silicide barrier layer and the first layer of silicide barrier layer, and finally forming silicide. Although this method can reduce the leakage of the device to a certain extent, it cannot reduce the lateral electric field between the channel region and the drain, and cannot completely solve the damage to the MOS device caused by the gate leakage current.

图1示出了本申请提供的栅极侧壁层的制作方法的流程示意图。下面将结合图1进一步解释说明本申请提供的栅极侧壁层的制作方法。FIG. 1 shows a schematic flowchart of a method for fabricating a gate sidewall layer provided in the present application. The method for fabricating the gate sidewall layer provided by the present application will be further explained below with reference to FIG. 1 .
首先,在具有栅极的衬底上沉积介质层。上述介质层在后续的制备工艺中,经过干法和湿法刻蚀工艺后将形成栅极侧壁层。因此,形成该介质层的结构可以是一层或多层,形成介质层的材料可以是氧化硅层或氮化硅层。根据侧壁层所需厚度以及后续干法刻蚀的条件,可以选择所形成的介质层厚度及材料。优选地,该介质层包括多层氮化硅层或氧化硅层,或者氮化硅层与氧化硅层交替形成的多层结构。First, a dielectric layer is deposited on the substrate with the gate. In the subsequent preparation process, the above-mentioned dielectric layer will form a gate side wall layer after undergoing dry and wet etching processes. Therefore, the structure forming the dielectric layer may be one or more layers, and the material forming the dielectric layer may be a silicon oxide layer or a silicon nitride layer. The thickness and material of the formed dielectric layer can be selected according to the required thickness of the sidewall layer and the conditions of the subsequent dry etching. Preferably, the dielectric layer includes multiple silicon nitride layers or silicon oxide layers, or a multi-layer structure in which silicon nitride layers and silicon oxide layers are alternately formed.
上述半导体衬底可以是轻掺杂N型衬底或者P型衬底,掺杂原子为硼、磷或砷,掺杂工艺包括离子注入、扩散等常规技术工艺。上述栅极的形成工艺可以是:在衬底上沉积一氧化物层,然后沉积栅极层,通过光刻和湿法刻蚀等工艺,形成栅极。The above-mentioned semiconductor substrate may be a lightly doped N-type substrate or a P-type substrate, the dopant atoms are boron, phosphorus or arsenic, and the doping process includes conventional technical processes such as ion implantation and diffusion. The formation process of the above-mentioned gate may be: depositing an oxide layer on the substrate, then depositing the gate layer, and forming the gate through processes such as photolithography and wet etching.
完成在具有栅极的衬底上沉积介质层的步骤之后,进行干法刻蚀去除栅极的顶部介质层,并且减薄栅极侧壁和衬底表面的介质层。上述干法刻蚀工艺可以是等离子体刻蚀、离子轰击、或者反应离子刻蚀。在本申请提供的一个具体实施例中,采用等离子体刻蚀方法进行干法刻蚀,利用等离子体轰击介质层的表面进而将介质层材料的原子击出。由于干法刻蚀会损伤衬底表面可能会造成栅极漏电流的产生,因此,可根据介质层的厚度及预形成的栅极侧壁层的厚度控制干法刻蚀的速率。进一步地,可通过控制干法刻蚀的溅射功率和刻蚀时间,实现对刻蚀速率的控制。优选地,在本申请的优选实施例中,干法刻蚀的工艺条件为:主要刻蚀气体为CF4和CHF3,溅射功率为100-300瓦,刻蚀时间为50-70秒。更优选地,利用干法刻蚀介质层后,衬底表面残留介质层的厚度需要大于以保证干法刻蚀过程中衬底不会被破坏。After completing the step of depositing a dielectric layer on the substrate with the gate, performing dry etching to remove the top dielectric layer of the gate, and thinning the dielectric layer on the sidewall of the gate and the surface of the substrate. The above dry etching process may be plasma etching, ion bombardment, or reactive ion etching. In a specific embodiment provided by the present application, plasma etching is used for dry etching, and plasma is used to bombard the surface of the dielectric layer to knock out atoms of the dielectric layer material. Since dry etching may damage the substrate surface and may cause gate leakage current, the rate of dry etching can be controlled according to the thickness of the dielectric layer and the thickness of the pre-formed gate sidewall layer. Further, the etching rate can be controlled by controlling the sputtering power and etching time of dry etching. Preferably, in a preferred embodiment of the present application, the dry etching process conditions are: the main etching gases are CF 4 and CHF 3 , the sputtering power is 100-300 watts, and the etching time is 50-70 seconds. More preferably, after the dielectric layer is etched by dry method, the thickness of the residual dielectric layer on the substrate surface needs to be greater than In order to ensure that the substrate will not be damaged during the dry etching process.
在本申请提供的一个具体实施方式中,在实施上述干法刻蚀之后,可进一步对半导体器件实施快速退火工艺。实施退火工艺可使得干法刻蚀工艺对栅极顶部可能造成的损害得到恢复。优选地,上述快速退火工艺中的退火温度为900至1030℃,退火时间为20至40秒。In a specific implementation manner provided by the present application, after performing the above dry etching, a rapid annealing process may be further performed on the semiconductor device. Performing an annealing process can restore possible damage to the top of the gate caused by the dry etching process. Preferably, the annealing temperature in the above rapid annealing process is 900 to 1030° C., and the annealing time is 20 to 40 seconds.
接下来,在栅极的顶部上沉积光刻胶。上述光刻胶作为掩膜,保护暴露出的栅极顶部不受下一步湿法刻蚀液的侵蚀。沉积上述光刻胶的方式可采用旋涂法或喷涂法,上述工艺为本领域现有技术,在此不再赘述。Next, a photoresist is deposited on top of the gate. The photoresist above is used as a mask to protect the exposed top of the gate from being corroded by the wet etching solution in the next step. The above-mentioned photoresist can be deposited by spin-coating or spray-coating, and the above-mentioned process is a prior art in the art, and will not be repeated here.
接下来,进行湿法刻蚀,进一步减薄栅极侧壁和衬底表面的介质层。本申请突破仅采用干法刻蚀进行侧壁层制作的传统思想,创造性地将干法刻蚀与湿法刻蚀工艺结合应用到栅极侧壁层的制作过程中。由于上一步骤中采用干法刻蚀对介质层进行了减薄,衬底表面介质层的厚度将或多或少地薄于栅极侧壁上的介质层厚度,如果继续采用干法刻蚀,势必将导致衬底表面上的介质层在栅极侧壁层形成之前就被刻蚀掉,从而在后续刻蚀过程中衬底将遭到破坏。而湿法刻蚀为各向同性刻蚀,其横向刻蚀的厚度接近于垂直刻蚀的深度。因此用湿法刻蚀工艺替代干法刻蚀工艺,可以保证栅极侧壁上的介质层减薄厚度与衬底表面上的介质层减薄厚度基本一致,从而避免衬底暴露于刻蚀环境中。本申请所采用的湿法刻蚀工艺可以是常规湿法刻蚀工艺条件。优选地,在一种具体实施方式中,该湿法刻蚀过程为:将HF刻蚀液缓慢浸泡栅极侧壁以及衬底表面的介质层,让刻蚀液与衬底上的栅极侧壁层反应一段时间;最后将栅极侧壁层逐渐剥离,剥离产物离开刻蚀表面扩散至溶液中,随溶液排除。而且,还可以通过控制刻蚀液的浓度、反应温度和反应时间等实现对湿法刻蚀速率的控制。优选地,本申请所采用HF的浓度为0.1%-3%,处理时间为30-200秒。更优选地,利用湿法刻蚀介质层后,衬底表面介质层残留约为更优选控制在左右。Next, wet etching is performed to further thin the gate sidewall and the dielectric layer on the substrate surface. The present application breaks through the traditional idea of only using dry etching to fabricate the sidewall layer, and creatively applies dry etching and wet etching processes to the fabrication process of the gate sidewall layer. Since the dielectric layer was thinned by dry etching in the previous step, the thickness of the dielectric layer on the surface of the substrate will be more or less thinner than the thickness of the dielectric layer on the sidewall of the gate. If dry etching is continued , will inevitably cause the dielectric layer on the substrate surface to be etched away before the gate sidewall layer is formed, so that the substrate will be damaged in the subsequent etching process. The wet etching is isotropic etching, and the thickness of the lateral etching is close to the depth of the vertical etching. Therefore, replacing the dry etching process with a wet etching process can ensure that the thinned thickness of the dielectric layer on the sidewall of the gate is basically the same as the thinned thickness of the dielectric layer on the substrate surface, thereby preventing the substrate from being exposed to the etching environment. middle. The wet etching process adopted in the present application may be a conventional wet etching process condition. Preferably, in a specific embodiment, the wet etching process is: slowly immerse the gate sidewall and the dielectric layer on the substrate surface with HF etchant, so that the etchant and the gate side on the substrate The wall layer reacts for a period of time; finally, the gate sidewall layer is gradually peeled off, and the peeled product leaves the etching surface and diffuses into the solution, and is discharged with the solution. Moreover, the control of the wet etching rate can also be realized by controlling the concentration of the etchant, the reaction temperature and the reaction time. Preferably, the concentration of HF used in this application is 0.1%-3%, and the treatment time is 30-200 seconds. More preferably, after wet etching the dielectric layer, the residual dielectric layer on the substrate surface is about More preferably controlled at about.
最后,去除光刻胶,完成整个栅极侧壁的制作。这里所采用的光刻胶去除方法可以是DMF中,或者采用超声去除方法,由于此方法为常规技术手段在此就不再赘述了。Finally, the photoresist is removed to complete the fabrication of the entire gate sidewall. The photoresist removal method adopted here may be in DMF, or by ultrasonic removal method, since this method is a conventional technical means, it will not be repeated here.
从上述工艺步骤可以看出,本申请提供的栅极侧壁层的制作方法对现有技术做出的贡献在于:在栅极侧壁层的干法刻蚀后,增加了一个湿法刻蚀剥离栅极侧壁层的过程;该刻蚀方法既能完成对栅极侧壁层的刻蚀,又不会对衬底表面介质层产生破坏,从而减少了由于氧化层破坏引起的栅极漏电流的产生,提高了器件的抗高压破坏性能。From the above process steps, it can be seen that the contribution of the fabrication method of the gate sidewall layer provided by the present application to the prior art lies in that a wet etching process is added after the dry etching of the gate sidewall layer. The process of stripping the sidewall layer of the gate; this etching method can complete the etching of the sidewall layer of the gate without damaging the dielectric layer on the surface of the substrate, thereby reducing the gate leakage caused by the damage of the oxide layer.

The off-current (Ioff) refers to the drain current when the device is in the off state. The larger the off-current means the greater the leakage of the device, which causes more unnecessary work consumption. The test method for the off current is: the source and the substrate are grounded, the gate is also grounded, and the drain is connected to 1.1 times the operating voltage. At this time, the measured drain current is the off current. See Table 1 for the test results. The gate breakdown voltage test method is: the substrate is grounded, and the gate voltage is applied from 0.

表1示出了测试芯片表面不同位置处的关闭电流。从表1可以看出,芯片中间位置处的关闭电流较大,其数值超过了1毫安,最高值达到19.66毫安;相对而言,芯片边缘处的关闭电流较小。这说明传统工艺制备的MOS器件的漏电流偏大,对器件的稳定性有很大的影响。表2示出了测试芯片表面不同位置处的栅极击穿电压。如表2所示,芯片表面大部分位置的栅极击穿电压为5伏,只有芯片底部边缘位置处的栅极击穿电压超过18伏。测试结果表明,传统工艺制备的MOS器件的栅极击穿电压较低,不能满足现有器件的要求。Table 1 shows the off current at different locations on the surface of the test chip. It can be seen from Table 1 that the off-current at the middle of the chip is relatively large, its value exceeds 1 mA, and the highest value reaches 19.66 mA; relatively speaking, the off-current at the edge of the chip is relatively small. This shows that the leakage current of the MOS device prepared by the traditional process is relatively large, which has a great influence on the stability of the device. Table 2 shows the gate breakdown voltage at different locations on the surface of the test chip. As shown in Table 2, the gate breakdown voltage at most of the chip surface is 5 volts, and only the gate breakdown voltage at the bottom edge of the chip exceeds 18 volts. The test results show that the gate breakdown voltage of the MOS device prepared by the traditional process is low, which cannot meet the requirements of the existing device.
