鳍部件的结构及其制造方法
技术领域
本发明涉及集成电路器件,更具体地,涉及鳍部件的结构及其制造方法。
背景技术
半导体集成电路(IC)工业已经经历了快速增长。在IC演化过程中,功能密度(即,每芯片面积的互连器件的数量)普遍增大,而几何尺寸(即,使用制造工艺可以构建的最小部件(或线))却已减小。这种按比例缩小工艺通常通过提高生产效率和降低相关成本来提供益处。
这种按比例缩小也增大了处理和制造IC的复杂性,并且为了实现这些进步,需要IC处理和制造中的类似发展。例如,已经引入诸如鳍式场效应晶体管(FinFET)的三维晶体管来替代平面晶体管。虽然现有的FinFET器件和制造FinFET器件的方法通常能够满足它们的预期目的,但是它们不是在所有方面都完全令人满意。例如,期望具有较小宽度的鳍部件。

图1至图11是根据一些示例实施例的在半导体器件200的制造中的中间阶段的截面图和立体图。图1示出了初始结构的截面图。初始结构包括衬底210。衬底210可以是块状硅衬底。可选地,衬底210可以包括:元素半导体,诸如晶体结构的硅或锗;化合物半导体,诸如硅锗、碳化硅、砷化镓、磷化镓、磷化铟、砷化铟和/或锑化铟;或它们的组合。可能的衬底210也包括绝缘体上硅(SOI)衬底。使用注氧隔离(SIMOX)、晶圆接合和/或其他合适的方法制造SOI衬底。
一些示例性衬底210也包括绝缘层。绝缘层包括任何合适的材料,包括氧化硅、蓝宝石和/或它们的组合。示例性绝缘层可以是埋氧层(BOX)。通过诸如注入(例如,SIMOX)、氧化、沉积和/或其他合适的工艺的任何合适的工艺形成绝缘体。在一些示例性FinFET前体200中,绝缘层是绝缘体上硅衬底的部件(例如,层)。
衬底210也可以包括各种掺杂区。掺杂区可以掺杂有诸如硼或BF2的p型掺杂剂;诸如磷或砷的n型掺杂剂;或它们的组合。可以以P阱结构、N阱结构、双阱结构或使用凸起结构在衬底210上直接形成掺杂区。衬底210还可以包括各种有源区,诸如配置为用于N型金属氧化物半导体晶体管器件的区域和配置为用于P型金属氧化物半导体晶体管器件的区域。
在衬底210上方形成多个芯轴部件220。在一些实施例中,通过以下步骤形成芯轴部件220:沉积诸如介电材料(例如,氧化硅、氮化硅)的芯轴材料层;在芯轴材料层上方形成图案化的光刻胶层;以及将图案化的光刻胶层用作蚀刻掩模来蚀刻芯轴材料层,从而形成芯轴部件220。可以通过包括热氧化、化学汽相沉积(CVD)工艺、等离子体增强CVD(PECVD)、原子层沉积(ALD)和/或本领域已知的其他方法的各种方法来沉积芯轴材料。示例性光刻工艺包括:在衬底上面(例如,在硅层上)形成光刻胶层(抗蚀剂),将光刻胶曝光成一图案,实施曝光后烘烤工艺,以及显影光刻胶以形成包括光刻胶的掩蔽元件。然后掩蔽元件用于蚀刻芯轴材料以形成芯轴部件220。蚀刻工艺是湿蚀刻、干蚀刻和/或它们的组合。
在芯轴部件220的侧壁上形成多个第一间隔件230。在一个实施例中,第一间隔件230的形成包括:在衬底210和芯轴部件220上沉积第一间隔件材料层,以及之后对第一间隔件材料层实施各向异性蚀刻,从而形成第一间隔件230。在本实施例中,第一间隔件材料层可以包括第一半导体材料,诸如锗(Ge)、硅(Si)、砷化镓(GaAs)、砷化铝镓(AlGaAs)、硅锗(SiGe)、磷砷化镓(GaAsP)、锑化镓(GaSb)、锑化铟(InSb)、砷化铟镓(InGaAs)、砷化铟(InAs)或其他合适的材料。可以通过诸如CVD沉积技术(例如,汽相外延(VPE)和/或超高真空CVD(UHV-CVD))、分子束外延和/或其他合适的工艺的外延生长工艺沉积第一间隔件材料层。然后通过使用诸如具有氯基化学物质的DRIE(深反应离子蚀刻)的机制实施各向异性干蚀刻。其他干蚀刻剂气体包括CF4、NF3、SF6和He。通过控制第一间隔件材料层的厚度,第一间隔件230形成为具有第一宽度w1。在本实施例中,第一间隔件230的第一宽度w1设计为第一鳍部件的宽度,第一鳍部件将在之后描述。
图2示出了通过去除芯轴部件220形成第一沟槽240而第一间隔件230是完整的。在本实施例中,可以通过包括选择性湿蚀刻、选择性干蚀刻和/或它们的组合的选择性蚀刻来去除芯轴部件220。剩余的第一间隔件230称为第一鳍部件245并且具有第一宽度w1
图3示出了通过用介电层填充沟槽240以及然后回蚀刻介电层以暴露第一鳍部件245的上部,而在两个邻近的第一鳍部件245之间形成隔离部件250。隔离部件250可以包括氧化硅、氮化硅、碳化硅或其他合适的材料。在本实施例中,通过选择性蚀刻回蚀刻介电层,并且因此第一鳍部件245的暴露的上部具有第一宽度w1。第一鳍部件245的上部具有高度h,高度h设计为将形成的第二鳍部件的高度。
图4A示出了衬底210具有第一区260和第二区270。在第一区260中,第二半导体材料层310包裹在第一鳍部件245的暴露的上部上方。而在第二区270中,第一硬掩模280覆盖衬底210(包括第一鳍部件245)。第二半导体材料层310可以包括Ge、Si、GaAs、AlGaAs、SiGe、GaAsP、GaSb、InSb、InGaAs、InAs或其他合适的材料。在本实施例中,第二半导体材料层310不同于第一鳍部件245。例如,第一鳍部件245是Si,而第二半导体材料层310是SiGe。在一个实施例中,第二半导体材料层310包括单晶外延半导体材料。第二半导体材料层310形成为具有沿着第一鳍部件245的侧壁的第二宽度w2。在一个实施例中,第二宽度w2小于第一宽度w1。在一个实施例中,第二宽度w2是第一宽度w1的一半。作为实例,第一宽度w1为约32nm,而第二宽度w2为约16nm。第一硬掩模280可以包括诸如氧化硅或氮化硅的介电材料。第一硬掩模280也可以包括图案化的光刻胶层。
图4B示出,在第一区260中,在第二半导体材料层310上方形成具有第三宽度w3的第三半导体材料层320。在一个实施例中,第二宽度w2和第三宽度w3的总和小于第一宽度w1。第三半导体材料层320不同于第二半导体材料层310。贯穿说明书,当声称第三半导体材料层320的组分不同于第二半导体材料层310的组分时,这表明第三半导体材料层320和第二半导体材料层310的任何一个层具有另一层中没有的元素,和/或出现在第三半导体材料层320和第二半导体材料层310中的一种或多种元素在第三层320和第二层310的其中一层中的原子百分比与在另一层中的相同元素的原子百分比不同。第二半导体材料层310和第三半导体材料层320与第一鳍部件245不同。
图5示出,在一些实施例中,衬底210具有源极/漏极区410和栅极区420。在一些实施例中,源极/漏极区410是源极区,而另一个源极/漏极区410是漏极区。源极/漏极区410由栅极区420分隔开。
在衬底210中的栅极区420上方形成一个或多个伪栅极堆叠件510,包括包裹在第一鳍部件245的部分上方。在实施高温热工艺(诸如在源极/漏极形成期间的热工艺)之后,伪栅极堆叠件510之后将由高k(HK)和金属栅极(MG)替代。伪栅极堆叠件510可以包括伪栅极介电层520和多晶硅层530。
沿着伪栅极堆叠件510的侧壁形成栅极间隔件540。栅极间隔件540可以包括诸如氧化硅、氮化硅、碳化硅、氮氧化硅或它们的组合的介电材料。用于栅极间隔件540的典型的形成方法包括在栅极堆叠件上方沉积栅极间隔件介电材料以及然后各向异性地回蚀刻栅极间隔件介电材料。回蚀刻工艺可以包括多步蚀刻以获得蚀刻选择性、灵活性和期望的过蚀刻控制。
图6示出了沿着图5中的S/D区410中的线A-A截取的半导体器件200的截面图。使第一鳍部件245凹进(以及使第二半导体材料层310凹进)以形成S/D沟槽605。在S/D沟槽605中的凹进的第一鳍部件245上形成S/D部件610。S/D部件610可以包括Ge、Si、GaAs、AlGaAs、SiGe、GaAsP、或其他合适的材料。如图6所示,在用S/D部件610填充S/D沟槽605之后,S/D部件610的顶层的进一步外延生长水平地扩展,并且可以开始形成小平面,诸如金刚石形小平面。可以在外延工艺期间原位掺杂S/D部件610。例如,在一个实施例中,S/D部件610包括掺杂有硼的外延生长的SiGe层。在另一实施例中,S/D部件610包括掺杂有碳的外延生长的Si外延层。在又另一实施例中,S/D部件610包括掺杂有磷的外延生长的Si外延层。在一个实施例中,未原位掺杂S/D部件610,实施注入工艺(即,结注入工艺)以掺杂S/D部件610。
图7示出了可以在衬底210上(包括伪栅极堆叠件510之间)形成层间介电(ILD)层710。ILD层710可以包括氧化硅、氮化硅、具有低于热氧化硅的介电常数(k)的介电材料(因此,称为低k介电材料层)或其他合适的介电材料层。ILD层710包括单层或多层。可以实施化学机械抛光(CMP)工艺以去除过量的ILD层710并且平坦化ILD层710和伪栅极堆叠件510的顶面。
图8示出了去除伪栅极堆叠件510以形成栅极沟槽810。在一个实施例中,在第一区260中,第一鳍部件245的上部和第二半导体材料层310暴露于栅极沟槽810中。而在第二区270中,第一鳍部件245的上部暴露于栅极沟槽810中。在本实施例中,通过基本不蚀刻第一鳍部件245和第二半导体材料层310的选择性蚀刻工艺来去除伪栅极堆叠件510。在一个实施例中,第一鳍部件245具有第二半导体材料层310和第三半导体材料层320,因此蚀刻工艺去除伪栅极堆叠件510和第三半导体材料层320以形成栅极沟槽810。
图9示出,在第一区260中,使第二半导体材料层310凹进以暴露第一鳍部件245的顶面,同时第二硬掩模825保护第二区270。因此剩余的第二半导体材料层310形成沿着第一鳍部件245的侧壁的第二间隔件820。在一个实施例中,使第二半导体材料层310各向异性地凹进,并且第二间隔件820具有第二宽度w2。第二硬掩模825在许多方面类似于以上结合图4A讨论的第一硬掩模280。
图10A示出,在第一区260中,使第一鳍部件245凹进,而第二间隔件820保持完整。第二区270由第二硬掩模825保护。在本实施例中,使第一鳍部件245凹进,从而使得第一鳍部件245的顶面与第二间隔件820的底面在同一水平处。凹进的第一鳍部件245嵌入在设置在半导体衬底上方的隔离结构250内,凹进的第一鳍部件245具有第一侧壁830和相对的第二侧壁832以及从第一侧壁830延伸至第二侧壁832的顶面834。
为了清楚的目的以更好地说明本发明的概念,第一区260中的凹进的第一鳍部件245称为嵌入式第一鳍部件245E,并且在嵌入式第一鳍部件245E的每侧的第二间隔件820称为第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B。
第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B设置在隔离结构250上方。第二鳍部件820A具有第三侧壁835和第四侧壁836。第三侧壁835与嵌入式第一鳍部件245E的第一侧壁830对准,而第四侧壁836直接设置在隔离部件250上方。第三鳍部件820B具有第五侧壁837和第六侧壁838。第五侧壁837与嵌入式第一鳍部件245E的第二侧壁832对准,而第六侧壁838直接设置在隔离部件250上方。如之前所述,第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B均具有高度h和第二宽度w2。在第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B之间形成间距840。间距840具有第一宽度w1。因此,第二鳍部件820A与第三鳍部件820B间隔开,从而使得第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B彼此不物理接触。
图10B示出了当第一鳍部件245具有第二半导体材料层310和第三半导体材料层320并且未通过以上参照图8讨论的蚀刻工艺去除它们时的可选实施例。在该实施例中,通过基本不蚀刻第一鳍部件245和第三半导体材料层320的选择性蚀刻工艺去除伪栅极堆叠件510。因此,当形成第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B时,第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B的每个均具有与第三半导体层320的第二部分平行的第二半导体层310的第一部分。
图11A示出在衬底210上方形成高k/金属栅极(HK/MG)920,其包裹在第一区中的第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B以及第二区中的第一鳍部件245上方。HK/MG 920包括栅极介电层922和位于栅极电介质上方的栅电极924。栅极介电层922直接设置在嵌入式第一鳍部件245E的顶面834上、第二鳍部件820A的第三侧壁835和第四侧壁836上、以及第三鳍部件820B的第五侧壁837和第六侧壁838上。栅电极924设置在栅极介电层922上方。
栅极介电层922可以包括界面层(IL)和设置在IL上的HK介电层。IL可以包括氧化物、HfSiO和氮氧化物。HK介电层可以包括LaO、AlO、ZrO、TiO、Ta2O5、Y2O3、SrTiO3(STO)、BaTiO3(BTO)、BaZrO、HfLaO、HfSiO、LaSiO、AlSiO、HfTaO、HfTiO、(Ba,Sr)TiO3(BST)、Al2O3、Si3N4、氮氧化硅(SiON)或其他合适的材料。
栅电极924可以包括单层或可选地包括多层结构,诸如具有功函数以增强器件性能的金属层(功函金属层)、衬垫层、润湿层、粘合层以及金属、金属合金或金属硅化物的导电层的各种组合。MG电极924可以包括Ti、Ag、Al、TiAlN、TaC、TaCN、TaSiN、Mn、Zr、TiN、TaN、Ru、Mo、Al、WN、Cu、W、任何合适的材料或它们的组合。可以实施CMP工艺以去除过量的MG电极924。
在第一区260中,HK/MG 920称为HK/MG 920A。MG电极924填充第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B之间的间距并且连接第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B。在第二区中,HK/MG920包裹在第一鳍部件245上方,称为HK/MG 920B。为了满足半导体器件200的性能需求,在一个实施例中,一个HK/MG 920A接近另一HK/MG 920A,并且在另一实施例中,一个HK/MG920A接近一个HK/MG 920B。
图11B示出了第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B包括第二半导体材料层310和第三半导体材料层320的实施例。在这种情况下,高k/金属栅极(HK/MG)920形成在衬底210上方,包裹在第一区中的第二鳍部件820A和第三鳍部件820B上方以及第二区中的第一鳍部件245上方。第一区260中的HK/MG 920称为HK/MG 920C。
为了满足半导体器件200的性能需求,HK/MG 920可以具有HK/MG920A、920B和920C之间的各种组合。在一个实施例中,一个HK/MG 920A接近另一HK/MG 920A。在另一实施例中,一个HK/MG 920A接近一个HK/MG 920B。在又另一实施例中,一个HK/MG 920C接近另一HK/MG920C。在又另一实施例中,一个HK/MG 920C接近另一HK/MG 920B。
