Description

于主动区域中具有栅极接触的三维半导体晶体管
技术领域
本发明一般是关于三维半导体晶体管及其制造。尤其,本发明是关于用于三维半导体晶体管的栅极接触及其在主动区域中没有栅极至源极/漏极短路的制造。
背景技术
现有的鳍式场效应晶体管(FinFET)半导体结构的制造将栅极接触放置在主动区域的外部,以避免栅极接触至源极/漏极接触短路。然而,此方法可能造成设计限制并使用更多的面积。当半导体装置持续缩减时,半导体面积损耗的问题愈来愈多。
因此,存在减少三维半导体晶体管的占用面积同时允许向下缩减的需求。
发明内容
在一个态样中,本发明通过于主动区域中形成栅极接触的方法,克服先前技艺的缺点并提供额外的优点。该方法包含提供初始半导体结构,该结构包含半导体衬底、连结至该衬底的至少一个鳍片、围绕该至少一个鳍片的底部的隔离材料、在各鳍片的顶部的外延半导体材料、在该外延半导体上方的沟槽硅化物接触、与具有遮盖及间隔物的栅极结构。该方法更包含移除在该栅极结构下方的该沟槽硅化物接触的一部分。
依据另一个态样,本发明提供一种半导体结构。该结构包含半导体衬底及连结至该半导体衬底的至少一个鳍片,且该鳍片具有以源极、漏极及栅极围绕该至少一个鳍片的一部分的主动区域。该结构更包含用于各该源极与漏极的沟槽硅化物接触及栅极接触,各接触位于该主动区域中,该沟槽硅化物接触为部分地凹陷以低于该栅极接触。
依据又另一个态样,本发明提供一种三维半导体晶体管。该晶体管包含半导体衬底、连结至该衬底的鳍片,该鳍片包含横跨该鳍片的顶部的主动区域,该主动区域包含源极、漏极及在该源极及漏极之间的沟道区域。该晶体管更包含位在该沟道区域上方的栅极及位在该主动区域中的栅极接触,没有部分该栅极接触电性连结至该源极或漏极。
本发明的这些及其它目的、特征及优点,从本发明下列的各种态样结合附加的图式的详细说明将变得显而易见。

具体实施方式
本发明的态样与特定的特征、优点及其细节,参考附加图式中的非限定的例子于下文中做更完整地说明。已熟知的材料、制造工具、加工技术等等的描述,将会忽略以免非必要地遮掩本发明的细节。然而,应该了解的是细部的描述及特定的例子,虽然显示本发明的态样,为仅给定说明的目的,并且不在于限定的目的。各种替代、修改、增加及/或配置,均在下文的本发明概念的精神及/或范畴内,本揭露对于本领域技术人员将是显而易见的。
近似的语言,如同在整个说明书及权利要求书于此所使用的,可以适用于修饰能够允许改变的任何量化的表示而不会造成在相关于该基本功能上的改变。因此,由术语或多个术语所修饰的数值,诸如“大约”,不在于限定所界定的精确的数值。在某些例子中,该接近的语言可以对应于用于量测该数值的仪器的精确性。
在此所使用的术语仅是用于描术特定例子的目的而并非意在本发明的限定。如同在此所使用的,单数形式“一”、“一个”及“该”也意在包含多形式,除非前后文另外明确标示。更进而了解的是术语“包括”(以及任何形式的包括,诸如“包含”及“含有”)、“具有”(以及任何形式的具有,诸如“拥有”及“含有”)、“包含”(以及任何形式的包含,诸如“包括”及“含有”)、与“含有”(以及任何形式的含有,诸如“具有”及“包含”)是开放式的联结动词。因此,“包括”、“具有”、“包含”或“含有”一个或多个的步骤或元件的方法或装置拥有该一个或多个的步骤或元件,但并非限定于仅拥有该一个或多个的步骤或元件。同样地,“包括”、“具有”、“包含”或“含有”一个或多个的特征的方法的步骤或装置的元件拥有该一个或多个的特征,但是并非意在仅拥有该一个或多个的特征。再者,以特定方式经由配置的装置或结构是至少以该方式配置,但是也可能以未列出的方式配置。
如本文所用的,术语“连接”,当使用于两个实体元件时,意指在该两个实体元件之间的直接连接。然而,术语“连结”可以意指直接连接或通过一个或多个的中介元件的连接。
如本文所用的,术语“可”及“可以是”显示在一组情况中发生的可能性;具有某种属性、特性或功能;及/或通过表示一个或多个的能力、性能或可能性修饰另一个动词而结合该修饰的动词。因此,“可”及“可以是”的使用显示修饰的术语是明显适当的、能够的或适合于指定的性能、功能或使用,尽管考量在某些情况下该修饰的术语可能有时不是适当的、能够的或适合的。例如,在某些情况下,事件或性能可能无法发生-该区别是由该术语“可”及“可以是”所获得。
