在该实施例中,采用由栅极替换工艺制造的鳍式场效应晶体管(FinFET)。
图1D示出了FinFET结构的示例性透视图。
首先,在衬底300上方制造鳍结构310。鳍结构包括底部区域和作为沟道区315的上部区域。例如,衬底是杂质浓度在大约1×1015cm-3至大约1×1018cm-3的范围内的p型硅衬底。在其他的实施例中,衬底是具有在杂质浓度大约1×1015cm-3至大约1×1018cm-3的范围内的n型硅衬底。可选地,衬底可以包括诸如锗的其他元素半导体和化合物半导体或它们的组合,其中,化合物半导体包括:诸如SiC和SiGe的IV-IV族化合物半导体;诸如GaAs、GaP、GaN、InP、InAs、InSb、GaAsP、AlGaN、AlInAs、AlGaAs、GaInAs、GaInP和/或GaInAsP的III-V族化合物半导体。在一个实施例中,衬底是SOI(绝缘体上硅)衬底的硅层。

在鳍结构上方形成隔离绝缘层320之后,执行平坦化操作,以去除隔离绝缘层320的一部分。平坦化操作可以包括化学机械抛光(CMP)和/或回蚀刻工艺。然后,还去除(凹进)隔离绝缘层320,从而暴露鳍结构的上部区域。
伪栅极结构形成在暴露的鳍结构上方。伪栅极结构包括由多晶硅制成的伪栅电极层和伪栅极介电层。包括一个或多个绝缘材料层的侧壁间隔件350还形成在伪栅电极层的侧壁上。在形成伪栅极结构之后,使未被伪栅极结构覆盖的鳍结构310凹进至隔离绝缘层320的上表面之下。然后,通过使用外延生长方法在凹进的鳍结构上方形成源极/漏极区360。源极/漏极区可以包括对沟道区域315施加应力的应变材料。
然后,层间介电层(ILD)370形成在伪栅极结构和源极/漏极区上方。在平坦化操作之后,去除伪栅极结构,从而制造栅极间隔。然后,在栅极间隔中,形成包括栅电极和栅极介电层(诸如高k介电层)的金属栅极结构330。此外,覆盖绝缘层340形成在金属栅极结构330上方,从而获得图1D中示出的FinFET结构。在图1D中,切割金属栅极结构330、覆盖隔离层340、侧壁330和ILD层370的一部分以示出下面的结构。
图1D中的金属栅极结构330、覆盖隔离层340、侧壁330、源极/漏极360和ILD 370分别对应于图1A至图1C的金属栅极10、覆盖绝缘层20、侧壁间隔件30、源极/漏极区50和第一层间介电层(ILD)40。
图2A和图2B示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的半导体器件的顺序制造工艺的多个阶段中的一个阶段。图2A示出了平面(顶视)图,并且图2B示出了沿着图2A的线X1-X1所获得的截面图。
光刻胶层60与位于其下的底部抗反射涂(BARC)层65形成在图1A至图1C的结构上方。如图2B所示,通过使用光刻操作,在光刻胶层60和BARC层65中形成孔图案70。如图2A所示,调整孔70(其要连接至栅极10A)的位置,从而在孔70中暴露覆盖绝缘层20A和一个侧壁间隔件30A的邻近源极/漏极区50的部分。应该注意,图2A中省略了光刻胶层60和BARC层65,并且仅示出了孔70的位置。
图3A和图3B示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的半导体器件的顺序制造工艺的多个阶段中的一个阶段。图3A示出了平面(顶视)图,并且图3B示出了沿着图3A的线X1-X1所获取的截面图。
如图3B所示,通过使用光刻胶层60作为蚀刻掩模,去除覆盖绝缘层20A的上述部分和一个侧壁间隔件30A的上述部分,以制造间隔75,并且然后去除光刻胶层60和BARC层65。
图4A和图4B示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的半导体器件的顺序制造工艺的多个阶段中的一个阶段。图4A示出了平面(顶视)图,并且图4B示出了沿着图4A的线X1-X1所获取的截面图。
如图4B所示,在蚀刻之后,第二ILD层100形成在图3A和图3B的蚀刻的结构上方,并且硬掩模层110、BARC层120和光刻胶层125顺序地形成在第二ILD层100上方。
第二ILD层100包括一层或多层绝缘材料,诸如氧化硅基材料,诸如二氧化硅(SiO2)、SiON或低k介电材料。例如,硬掩模层100由TaN、TiN、Ti或相对于氧化硅具有高蚀刻选择性的其他合适的材料。在一些实施例中,第二ILD层100和硬掩模层110的厚度在大约15nm至大约50nm的范围内。应该注意,图4A中省略了第二ILD层100、硬掩模层110、BARC层120和光刻胶层125,并且示出了金属栅极10的暴露部分75。
图5A和图5B示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的半导体器件的顺序制造工艺的多个阶段中的一个阶段。图5A示出了平面(顶视)图,并且图5B示出了沿着图5A的线X1-X1所获得的截面图。
如图5A和图5B所示,通过使用光刻操作,图案化光刻胶层125和BARC层120,并且通过使用光刻胶层作为蚀刻掩模来图案化硬掩模层110,从而形成第一开口127和第二开口128。随后去除光刻胶层125和BARC层120。应该注意,图5A中省略了第二ILD层100、硬掩模层110和光刻胶层125。
如图5A所示,形成第一开口127,从而使第一开口127的边缘(图5A中的左边缘)设置为与金属栅极的暴露部分75交叉并且位于源极/漏极区50上方。在平面图中,左边缘可以放置为完全覆盖暴露部分75。第一开口127的右边缘未放置在源极/漏极区50上方和源极/漏极区50上面的第一ILD层40上方,并且可以放置在邻近的金属栅极(或覆盖隔离层)或侧壁间隔件上方。在图5A中,形成第二开口128以与两个源极/漏极区和两个栅极结构重叠。
图6A和图6B示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的半导体器件的顺序制造工艺的多个阶段中的一个阶段。图6A示出了平面(顶视)图,并且图6B示出了沿着图6A的线X1-X1所获取的截面图。
如图6B所示,通过使用图案化的硬掩模层110作为蚀刻掩模,去除第二ILD层100和第一ILD层40,从而暴露金属栅极10A的上部和源极/漏极区50的上部。
由于覆盖绝缘层20(和20A)由SiN制成,所以可以通过高选择性执行ILD氧化物蚀刻,并且可以以基本自对准的方式来形成开口140。
如图6B所示,在用于第一ILD层和第二ILD层的氧化物蚀刻过程中,未蚀刻由SiN制成的侧壁间隔件30A,并且保留侧壁间隔件的上部35。
然而,由于侧壁间隔件30A的宽度(厚度)小于大约5nm并且侧壁间隔件30A由SiON、SiCN或SiOCN制成,所以在蚀刻和/或过蚀刻期间去除侧壁间隔件的上部35,而基本不蚀刻覆盖绝缘层20。换句话说,即使侧壁间隔件的材料具有比覆盖绝缘层更低的蚀刻比率,用于ILD的包括离子轰击以导致各向异性蚀刻行为的蚀刻工艺也可以大量消减(chop)或去掉(break)厚度小于5nm的侧壁。
图7A至图7C示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的半导体器件的顺序制造工艺的多个阶段中的一个阶段。图7A示出了平面(顶视)图,图7B示出了沿着图7A的线X1-X1所获得的截面图,以及图7C示出了沿着图7A的线X2-X2所获得的截面图。
图7A至图7C示出了ILD氧化物蚀刻之后所得到的结构。沿着线X1-X1形成开口140,并且沿着线X2-X2形成开口142和144。
图8A至图8C示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的半导体器件的顺序制造工艺的多个阶段中的一个阶段。图8A示出了平面(顶视)图,图8B示出了沿着图8A的线X1-X1所获得的截面图,以及图8C示出了沿着图8A的线X2-X2所获得的截面图。
在形成开口140、142和144之后,导电材料填充在开口中。一个或多个金属材料层(诸如钨、钛、钴和镍、或其硅化物、或其他合适的材料)形成在图7A至图7C的结构上方,并且执行诸如CMP方法的平坦化操作,从而获得图8A至图8C的结构。间隔140被金属层填充,从而形成连接金属栅极10A与源极/漏极区50的局部互连件150。开口142和144也被金属层填充,从而分别形成源极/漏极接触件152和154。这些源极/漏极接触件152和154分别接触源极/漏极区52和54。应该注意,覆盖绝缘层20的上表面、侧壁间隔件30的上表面(顶部)以及局部互连件150和源极/漏极接触件152和154的上表面基本彼此共面,即,位于同一平面上。
如图8A所示,局部互连件150在平面(顶视)图中具有“钥匙孔”形状。“头”部在平面图中具有基本为圆形的形状,并且在一些实施例中,“头”部的直径D在大约10nm至大约30nm的范围内,并且在一些实施例中,“颈”部(连接部分)的宽度Wn在大约5nm至大约10nm的范围内。钥匙孔形状的“主体”部分设置在源极/漏极区50上方。在其他实施例中,“头”部在平面图中具有基本为椭圆的形状,并且椭圆形状的长轴的直径D在大约10nm至大约30nm的范围内。头部设置在金属栅极10(10A)上方,并且颈部设置在侧壁间隔件30(30A)上方。头部与覆盖绝缘层20(20A)接触。
图9示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的半导体器件的示例性截面图。
在形成用于局部互连件150和源极/漏极接触件152和154的金属层之后,在金属层上方形成蚀刻停止层(ESL)160和第三ILD层170。然后,执行图案化操作以形成贯通孔(viahole)。贯通孔填充有一种或多种导电材料,从而形成通孔塞200,并且第一金属布线210形成在通孔塞200上方。可以通过双镶嵌方法形成第一金属布线210和通孔塞200。
在一些实施例中,前述的局部互连件结构应用于SRAM单元。图10和图11示出根据本发明的一个实施例的SRAM的示例性电路图和布局结构。
