Referring to fig. 8, a gate dielectric layer 260 covering the bottom and sidewalls of the recess 251 (refer to fig. 7) is formed.
The gate dielectric layer 260 serves to isolate the substrate from other material layers that may be subsequently formed on the surface of the gate dielectric layer.
The gate dielectric layer 260 is made of a high-K (K is greater than 3.9) dielectric material, such as HfO2、HfSiO、HfSiON、Al2O3Or ZrO2. In the embodiment of the present invention, the gate dielectric layer 260 is HfO2。
The process for forming the gate dielectric layer 260 is a deposition process, such as an atomic layer deposition process or a plasma chemical vapor deposition process. In this embodiment, the gate dielectric layer 260 is formed by a plasma chemical vapor deposition process.
In this embodiment, an interfacial layer (not shown) may also be formed at the bottom of the gate dielectric layer 260 to serve as a transition layer between the substrate and the gate dielectric layer 260, thereby avoiding the problem of weak direct bonding between the gate dielectric layer 260 and the substrate.

The process of forming the interfacial layer is a deposition process such as an atomic layer deposition process, a chemical vapor deposition process, a thermal oxidation process, and a nitridation process. In this embodiment, the interfacial layer is formed by a thermal oxidation process.
With continued reference to fig. 8, a first blocking layer 261 is formed overlying the gate dielectric layer 260.
The first barrier layer 261 functions to: preventing metal atoms in the subsequently formed metal layer from diffusing into the gate dielectric layer 260 and the interface layer; intermediate products generated in the process of forming the metal layer are prevented from entering the interface layer of the gate dielectric layer 260
The material of the first barrier layer 261 is TiN or TaN. In this embodiment, the material of the first barrier layer 261 is TiN.
The thickness of the first barrier layer 261 is 10 to 30 angstroms.
The process of forming the first barrier layer 261 is a deposition process, such as an atomic layer deposition process or a plasma chemical vapor deposition process. In this embodiment, the first blocking layer 261 is formed by a plasma chemical vapor deposition process.
Since the first blocking layer 261 has a polycrystalline structure, an intermediate product is generated in a subsequent metal layer forming process, and the intermediate product is easy to enter the gate dielectric layer 260, for example, when the metal layer is made of W, the intermediate product contains fluorine atoms, and the fluorine atoms are easy to diffuse into the gate dielectric layer 260 through a grain boundary in the first blocking layer 261, so that defects in the gate dielectric layer 260 are increased, and the threshold voltage of the semiconductor device is unstable. That is, the first blocking layer 261 has a weak blocking effect on fluorine atoms in the intermediate product, so that the first blocking layer 261 is converted into a second blocking layer having an amorphous structure by performing an amorphization process on the first blocking layer 261 in this embodiment, and the first blocking layer 261 has a strong blocking effect, so that the intermediate product generated in the process of forming the metal layer can be prevented from entering the gate dielectric layer 260.
In one embodiment, the method of the amorphization process is as follows: doping first ions in the first blocking layer 261 by using a first ion implantation process; the first blocking layer 261 doped with the first ions is subjected to a first annealing process, so that the first blocking layer 261 is converted into a second blocking layer.
The principle of the transformation of the first barrier layer 261 into the second barrier layer is: first ion implantation is employed such that first ions enter the grain boundary gaps of the first barrier layer 261 and the first ions impact atoms in the first barrier layer 261 leaving lattice sites and entering the lattice gaps while leaving vacancies; during the first annealing process, the first ions occupy vacancies and combine with atoms in the first barrier layer 261 to change the composition and crystal orientation of the first barrier layer 261, forming a second barrier layer having an amorphous structure.
In a specific embodiment, the parameters of the first ion implantation process are: the implanted ions are silicon ions, the implantation energy is 0.5 KeV-5 KeV, and the implantation dosage is 1E 15atom/cm2~5E 16atom/cm2The injection angle is 7-20 degrees. The implantation angle is the angle formed with the normal to the substrate 200.
The first annealing treatment is spike annealing, and the adopted gas is N2Or Ar, the annealing temperature is 950-1050 ℃.
It should be noted that the first ions are not limited to silicon ions, and in other embodiments, other ions may be used to convert the first barrier layer 261 into a second barrier layer with an amorphous structure. Preferably, the ion radius of the first ions is larger than the size of the lattice gap of the first blocking layer 261, so that the degree of lattice distortion of the first blocking layer 261 is enhanced after the first ions are implanted into the first blocking layer 261, which is beneficial to forming the amorphized second blocking layer.
In this embodiment, the first blocking layer 261 is made of TiN, the implanted ions used in the first ion implantation are silicon ions, and the formed second blocking layer is made of TiSiN.
In another embodiment, the amorphization process comprises: forming a silicon layer overlying the first barrier layer 261; performing second annealing treatment on the silicon layer and the first barrier layer 261 to make silicon atoms in the silicon layer enter the first barrier layer 261 to form a second barrier layer; and after the second barrier layer is formed, removing the silicon layer.
Referring to fig. 9, a silicon layer 262 covering the first barrier layer 261 is formed.
The process of forming the silicon layer 262 is a deposition process, such as an atomic layer deposition process, a plasma chemical vapor deposition process, or a low pressure chemical vapor deposition process.
In this embodiment, the silicon layer 262 is formed by a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition process, and the specific process parameters are as follows: the gas used is SiH4,SiH4The flow rate of the deposition chamber is 10-60 sccm, the temperature is 350-500 ℃, and the pressure of the deposition chamber is 0.4-2 torr.
The thickness of the silicon layer 262 is 40to 100 angstroms.
Referring to fig. 10, the silicon layer 262 and the first barrier layer 261 (refer to fig. 9) are subjected to a second annealing process so that silicon atoms in the silicon layer 262 enter the first barrier layer 261, forming a second barrier layer 263.
The principle of the transformation of the first barrier layer 261 into the second barrier layer 263 is: during the second annealing process, silicon atoms in the silicon layer 262 enter the first barrier layer 261, and the silicon atoms and atoms in the first barrier layer 261 are recombined into bonds, thereby changing the composition and crystal orientation of the first barrier layer 261 to form the second barrier layer 263, and the second barrier layer 263 has an amorphous structure.
The second annealing treatment is spike annealing, and the adopted gas is N2Or Ar, the annealing temperature is 800-1000 ℃.
In this embodiment, the first blocking layer 261 is made of TiN, and the second blocking layer 263 is made of TiSiN.
The first blocking layer 261 is transformed into a second blocking layer 263 after the amorphization process.
The second blocking layer 263 functions as: preventing metal atoms in the subsequently formed metal layer from diffusing into the gate dielectric layer 260 and the interface layer; intermediate products subsequently generated during the formation of the metal layer are blocked from entering the gate dielectric layer 260 and the interface layer.
Because the second blocking layer 263 has an amorphous structure, the blocking effect of the second blocking layer 263 is stronger than that of the first blocking layer 261, and an intermediate product generated in the process of forming a metal layer can be effectively blocked from entering the gate dielectric layer 260 and the interface layer.
The thickness of the second barrier layer 263 is 10 to 30 angstroms.
In this embodiment, the entire thickness of the first barrier layer 261 is subjected to amorphization. In other embodiments, the partial thickness of the first barrier layer 261 may be amorphized, i.e., only the upper portion of the first barrier layer 261 may be amorphized.
Referring to fig. 11, the silicon layer 262 (refer to fig. 10) is removed.
The process of removing the silicon layer 262 is a wet etching process or a dry etching process. In this embodiment, the silicon layer 262 is removed by a wet etching process.

In the case where the semiconductor device has the interface layer, the amorphization process is performed by: forming a silicon layer 262 covering the first barrier layer 261; performing a second annealing process on the silicon layer 262 and the first barrier layer 261 to make silicon atoms in the silicon layer 262 enter the first barrier layer 261 to form a second barrier layer 263; after the second barrier layer 263 is formed, the silicon layer 262 is removed, and during the second annealing process, the silicon layer 262 can absorb oxygen atoms in the interface layer, so that the equivalent oxide thickness of the interface layer is reduced, thereby improving the performance of the semiconductor device.
Referring to fig. 12, a metal layer 264 covering the second barrier layer 263 is formed, and the entire surface of the metal layer 264 is higher than the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 250.
The metal layer 264 acts as a metal gate of the semiconductor device.
The metal layer 264 is made of W, Al, Ti, Cu, Mo or Pt. In this embodiment, the metal layer 264 is made of W.
The process of forming the metal layer 264 is a chemical vapor deposition process, a physical vapor deposition process, or an electroplating process. In this embodiment, the metal layer 264 is formed by a chemical vapor deposition process.
In one specific embodiment, the process parameters for forming the metal layer 264 are: the gas used is WF6And SiH4,WF6The flow rate of (1) is 300-800 sccm, SiH4The flow rate of the deposition chamber is 30-100 sccm, the temperature is 350-500 ℃, and the pressure of the deposition chamber is 40-130 torr.
In the process of forming the metal layer 264, a precursor for forming the metal layer 264 is a fluorine-containing precursor, the precursor may generate a fluorine-containing intermediate product, and fluorine atoms in the intermediate product may easily diffuse into the gate dielectric layer 260. However, due to the fact that the first blocking layer 261 is subjected to the amorphization treatment, the first blocking layer 261 is converted into the second blocking layer 263 with an amorphous structure, the blocking effect of the second blocking layer 263 is larger than that of the first blocking layer 261, and in the process of forming the metal layer 264, the second blocking layer 263 can effectively block intermediate products generated by precursors from entering the gate dielectric layer 260 and the interface layer, so that the threshold voltage of the semiconductor device is stable.
In this embodiment, before the metal layer 264 is formed, a work function layer (not shown) covering the second blocking layer 263 may be formed, and after the work function layer is formed, the metal layer 264 covering the work function layer may be formed. The work function layer is capable of adjusting a threshold voltage of the semiconductor device.

When the work function layer is provided in the semiconductor device, the second blocking layer 263 also has a function of blocking metal atoms in the work function layer from entering the gate dielectric layer 260 and the interface layer.
Particularly, when the semiconductor device is an N-type fin field effect transistor and the work function layer is made of TiAl, aluminum atoms in TiAl are easily diffused into other media, and the second blocking layer 263 has an amorphous structure, so that the aluminum atoms can be effectively blocked from entering the gate dielectric layer 260 and the interface layer. The dielectric constant of the gate dielectric layer 260 is stabilized, and the reliability of the interface layer is enhanced.
Referring to fig. 13, the gate dielectric layer 260, the second barrier layer 263 and the metal layer 264 above the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 250 are removed.
The process of removing the gate dielectric layer 260, the second barrier layer 263 and the metal layer 264 above the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 250 is a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process.
When the semiconductor device further has an interface layer and a work function layer, the interface layer and the work function layer higher than the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 250 need to be removed.
In this embodiment, the gate dielectric layer 260, the second blocking layer 263 and the metal layer 264 which are higher than the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 250 are removed in the same step, so that the process steps are effectively saved. In other embodiments of the present invention, the gate dielectric layer 260, the second barrier layer 263 and the metal layer 264 above the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 250 may be removed in multiple steps, for example, after each layer is formed, the portion above the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 230 is removed.
