First coating 240 has fringe region and central area, and the fringe region of the first coating 240 refers to close The region of 230 top side wall of groove, in addition to the first covering in the first coating 240 that the central area of the first coating 240 refers to The part of 240 fringe region of layer, the central area of first coating 240 are thicker than the fringe region of the first coating 240.It needs It is noted that the definition for central area and fringe region is no longer described in detail suitable for each coating being subsequently formed.
During forming the first coating 240, silicon is much larger than in the growth rate of (100) crystal face in (111) crystal face Growth rate so that the thickness of the fringe region of first coating 240 be much smaller than first coating 240 center The thickness in region is easy pair if directly carrying out subsequent etching technics, especially dry carving technology on 240 surface of the first coating The fringe region of first coating 240 causes etching injury, the surface of part stress material layer 231 is exposed, thus right Stress material layer 231 causes to damage, and reduces the stress in stress material layer 231.
First coating, 240 central area with a thickness of 15nm~30nm.
With reference to Fig. 8, first coating 240 is etched to reduce the central area thickness of first coating 240.
The technique for etching first coating 240 is wet-etching technique, and the solution of the wet-etching technique can be organic base Property solution, can also be inorganic caustic solutions, the etch rate of 240 central area of the first coating is greater than to the first coating The etch rate of 240 fringe regions.
When the solution of the wet-etching technique is organic alkaline solution, the organic alkaline solution can be tetramethyl hydrogen-oxygen Change ammonium (Tetramethy lammonium Hydroxide, TMAH) solution;The solution of the wet-etching technique is that inorganic alkaline is molten When liquid, the inorganic caustic solutions are KOH, NaOH or NH4OH solution.

It is too small to the rate of the first coating 240 etching if the concentration of etching solution is too low, reduce process efficiency;If The excessive concentration of etching solution also will increase while increase 240 central area of the first coating etching degree and cover to first The etching degree of 240 fringe region of cap rock, the thickness that the first coating 240 etches back edge region is excessively thin, therefore, molten when etching When liquid is tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide solution, selecting the mass percent concentration of tetramethylammonium hydroxide is 1%~30%, works as etching When solution is KOH solution, selecting the mass percent concentration of KOH is 0.1%~40%.
It is increased same to 240 central area of the first coating etching degree if the etching temperature of the first coating 240 is excessively high When also will increase etching degree to 240 fringe region of the first coating, the first coating 240 etches the thickness in back edge region It is excessively thin, if the etching temperature of the first coating 240 is too low, it can to reduce the etch rate of the first coating 240, reduce and carve Efficiency is lost, therefore, when etching solution is tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide solution, selective etching temperature is 20 degrees Celsius~50 Celsius Degree, when etching solution is KOH solution, selective etching temperature is 20 degrees Celsius~50 degrees Celsius.
In the present embodiment, the first coating 240 has crystal face (110), (100) and (111), the tetramethylammonium hydroxide Solution is 66:33:1 to the etch rate ratio of the first coating 240 on (110), (100) and (111) crystal face.In other embodiments In, etch rate ratio of the tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide solution to the first coating 240 on (110), (100) and (111) crystal face Value can choose other numerical value.
The first coating 240 is performed etching using wet-etching technique, along the corrosion rate of silicon wafer face (100) and (110) It is faster than the corrosion rate along silicon wafer face (111), therefore, the central area thickness of first coating 240 can be reduced, and The variation of the thickness of the fringe region of first coating 240 is smaller, so that 240 central area of the first coating and marginal zone The thickness difference in domain reduces.
First coating, 240 central area with a thickness of 10nm~20nm after etching.
With reference to Fig. 9,240 surface of the first coating after etching forms the second coating 241.

It should be noted that if the overall thickness of the central area of the first coating 240 and the second coating 241 is excessively thin, it is right The protective effect of stress material layer 231 weakens, and in subsequent etching technics, especially dry carving technology is easy to expose stress The surface of material layer 231, so that the corresponding dead-wood bed of material 231 causes etching injury;If the first coating 240 and the second coating The overall thickness of 241 central area is blocked up, so that the resistance between the metal silicide layer being subsequently formed and stress material layer 231 Increase;Therefore, it is necessary to the overall thickness of the central area of the first coating 240 and the second coating 241 to be maintained at a certain range.This In embodiment, the overall thickness of 241 central area of the first coating 240 and the second coating is 20nm~40nm.
The central area thickness that first coating 240 is reduced due to first etching the first coating 240, is then being carved 240 surface of the first coating after erosion forms the second coating 241, so that in the first coating 240 and the second coating 241 Under the premise of the overall thickness in heart district domain is maintained at a certain range, the fringe region of the first coating 240 and the second coating 241 Overall thickness increases, and the protective effect of the first coating 240 and corresponding 231 edge region of the dead-wood bed of material of the second coating 241 increases By force.In subsequent etching technics, the surface of stress material layer 231 will not be exposed.
After forming the second coating 241, with side wall 220 and gate structure 210 be exposure mask correspond to the dead-wood bed of material 231 carry out from Son injection forms source-drain area.For PMOS transistor, Doped ions are P-type ion, such as B or In;For NMOS transistor, doping Ion is N-type ion, such as P (phosphorus) or As.Then metal silicide layer is formed on 241 surface of the second coating (not scheme Show).
In the present embodiment, one layer of coating is formed on the first coating 240.

Figure 10 to Figure 11 is the schematic diagram of MOS transistor forming process in second embodiment of the invention.
The difference of second embodiment and first embodiment is: on the basis of first embodiment, carving to the second coating It loses to reduce the thickness of the central area of the second coating, then the surface of the second coating after etching forms third covering Layer.First coating and second in the thickness and first embodiment of first coating and each layer of the second coating in second embodiment The thickness of each layer of coating is different.Identical part in second embodiment and first embodiment is no longer described in detail.
With reference to Figure 10, Figure 10 is the schematic diagram formed on the basis of Fig. 9, etches second coating 241 to reduce State the central area thickness of the second coating 241.
In the present embodiment, the first coating 240 etching before central area with a thickness of 15nm~30nm, the first coating After 240 etchings central area with a thickness of 8nm~15nm, before the second coating 241 etching central area with a thickness of 15nm~30nm, the second coating 241 etching after central area with a thickness of 8nm~15nm.
The technique for etching the second coating 241 is wet-etching technique, and the solution of the wet-etching technique can be molten for organic basic Liquid can also be inorganic caustic solutions, be greater than the etch rate of 241 central area of the second coating to the second coating 241 The etch rate of fringe region.
When the solution of the wet-etching technique is organic alkaline solution, the organic alkaline solution can be tetramethyl hydrogen-oxygen Change ammonium (Tetramethy lammonium Hydroxide, TMAH) solution;The solution of the wet-etching technique is that inorganic alkaline is molten When liquid, the inorganic caustic solutions are KOH, NaOH or NH4OH solution.
