Description
技术领域
本发明揭示的主题涉及集成电路装置。更具体地说,本发明涉及在集成电路装置中形成栅极结构。
背景技术
随着集成电路(IC)技术的进步,该些装置的尺寸也相应减小。特别是,缩小装置的尺寸以符合越来越小的封装,将对它们的尺寸及间隔施加更紧密的限制。
在IC装置中具有应力(stress)的栅极区是一种有效的机构,用于提高流经该些栅极区的信号的效能(例如,速度)。然而,随着装置尺寸减小,相邻的集成电路栅极之间的距离(间距,pitch)被减小。该减小的栅极间距使得形成IC时更难以有效地向栅极区施加应力,对效能产生不利的影响。此外,减小的栅极间距可导致接触电阻降低、接触(contact)至栅极间短路,以及其它不希望的情况。
发明内容
各种实施例包括方法以及集成电路结构。在一些情况下,一种形成集成电路结构的方法可包括:在衬底上方形成一掺杂硅层;自该掺杂硅层形成多个鳍片(fin)结构;在该多个鳍片结构上方形成多个栅极结构,该多个栅极结构各者与相邻的栅极结构通过第一间距分开;在该多个栅极结构上方形成掩模,露出该多个栅极结构中的至少一者;移除该多个栅极结构中的该至少一者,其中,在该移除之后,二个剩余的栅极结构通过大于该第一间距的第二间距分开;以及在该二个剩余的栅极结构之间的该衬底上方形成外延区域。

本发明的第三态样包括一种集成电路(IC)结构,其具有:衬底;多个鳍片结构,在该衬底上方并直接接触该衬底;多个栅极结构,在该多个鳍片结构上方,其中,该多个栅极结构中的二个相邻的栅极结构通过第一间距分开,且其中,该多个栅极结构中的二个不同的相邻的栅极结构通过第二间距分开,该第二间距大于该第一间距;多个外延区域,在该衬底与该多个鳍片结构上方及该多个栅极结构各者之间,该多个外延区域包括:第一外延区域,跨越该二个相邻的栅极结构之间的该第一间距;以及第二外延区域,跨越该二个不同的相邻的栅极结构之间的第二间距;以及接触,直接接触该第二外延区域。

在下面的描述中,参考部分的附图,其中,本发明的教导通过可实践的具体示例性实施例的方式示出。该些实施方案详细地描述以使本领域的技术人员能够实践本发明的教导,且可以理解的是,其他实施例可以被利用,并在不偏离本教导的范围的情况下可以作出改变。因此,以下的说明仅仅是说明性的。
如本发明中所描述的,“沉积”可以包括任何现在已知或以后开发的技术来沉积适合的材料,包括但不限于,例如:化学气相沉积(CVD)、低压CVD(LPCVD)、等离子体增强型CVD(PECVD)、半大气压CVD(SACVD)及高密度等离子体CVD(HDPCVD)、快速加热CVD(RTCVD)、超高真空CVD(UHVCVD)、限制反应制程CVD(LRPCVD)、金属有机CVD(MOCVD)、溅射沉积、离子束沉积、电子束沉积、激光辅助沉积、热氧化、热氮化、旋涂法、物理气相沉积(PVD)、原子层沉积(ALD)、化学氧化,分子束外延(MBE)、电镀、蒸镀。

图9(包括图9(a)及9(b))示出包括图案化栅极层10以形成栅极结构20并露出鳍片结构8的附加制程。图9(a)示出经历根据各种实施例的制程的结构的示意性顶视图。图9(b)示出图9(a)的结构的示意性剖面图,具有通过栅极接触结构的横剖面。如图所示,栅极结构20包括栅极层10的一部分及栅极硬掩模14的上覆部分。栅极图案化可使用任何传统的图案化方法来执行,例如,用RIE制程,该制程对氮化物及/或氧化物具有选择性。如图所示,鳍片结构8垂直于栅极结构20(在顶视图中可见)。可以理解的是,当比对图9与图8以及前面的图时,图9示出说明一些额外的栅极结构20,目的是为了说明在图9-11中xFin视图的遗漏。
图10(包括图10(a)及10(b))示出的制程包括沉积间隙壁层21,在栅极层10上形成间隙壁21,并凹陷(recessing)在栅极结构20之间的鳍片8以形成凹部22。图10(a)表示经历根据各种实施例的制程的结构的示意性顶视图。图10(b)示出图10(a)的结构的示意性剖面图,具有通过栅极接触结构的横剖面。间隙壁21可以包括,例如氮化硅、SiBCN、SiOCN、或者任何类型的低K(K<6)材料。可使用各向异性RIE制程来形成间隙壁21。在各种实施例中,该蚀刻制程可以包括使用对该多个鳍片结构8敏感的氮化硅(SiN)蚀刻。如图所示,部分的栅极结构20与其相邻的栅极结构20通过第一间距P1(栅极结构之间的中心到中心的距离,沿轴线垂直于衬底4的上表面)分开,而其它的栅极结构20与其相邻的栅极结构20通过第二间距P2分开,其中,第二间距大于第一间距(由于移除硬掩模14与相对应的栅极结构20)。在部分情况下,P2的值大约二倍于P1的值。

图12A及12B分别示出集成电路(IC)结构1100及1110。集成电路结构1100及1110可各别包括:衬底4;衬底4上方的多个鳍片结构8;鳍片结构8及衬底4上方的多个栅极结构20,该多个栅极结构20直接接触鳍片结构8,其中,二个相邻的栅极结构20通过第一间距P1分开,而二个不同的相邻的栅极结构20通过第二间距P2分开,其中,第二间距P2大于第一间距P1。
集成电路结构1100及1110也可以包括多个外延区域24,其位于鳍片结构8及衬底4上方及多个栅极结构20各者之间。该多个外延区域24包括:第一外延区域24A横跨二个相邻的栅极结构20之间的第一间距P1;及第二外延区域24B横跨二个不同的相邻的栅极结构20之间的第二间距P2。集成电路结构1100可进一步包括接触26A,而集成电路结构1110还包括接触26B,其中,各接触26A,26B接触第二外延区域24B。
当组件或层被称为“在上”、“接合至”、“连接至”或“耦合至”另一组件或层时,它可以直接在上、接合、连接或耦合至另一组件或层,或是可以存在中间组件或层。相反,当一个组件被称为“直接在上”、“直接接合至”、“直接连接至”或“直接耦合至”另一组件或层时,可以没有中间组件或层。用于描述组件之间的关系的其他词语应该以类似的方式(例如,“之间”与“直接之间”,“相邻”与“直接相邻”等)进行解释。如本发明中所使用的,术语“及/或”包括一个或多个相关所列的项目的任意组合及所有组合。
