The barrier film 105 provides Process ba- sis to be subsequently formed isolation structure;The barrier film 105 Material is insulating materials, for example, silica, silicon nitride or silicon oxynitride.In the present embodiment, it is described every Material from film 105 is silica.
In order to improve filling perforation (gap-filling) ability to form the technique of barrier film 105, using mobility Vapour deposition (FCVD, Flowable CVD) or high vertical width are learned than chemical vapor deposition method (HARP CVD), the barrier film 105 is formed.In a specific embodiment, the formation of the barrier film 105 Technique includes:Using mobility chemical vapor deposition method formation forerunner's barrier film;The forerunner is isolated Film carries out annealing curing process, and forerunner's barrier film is converted into barrier film 105.
In the present embodiment, using chemical mechanical milling tech, grinding is removed higher than the top of hard mask layer 103 Barrier film 105, until the top of remaining barrier film 105 at the top of hard mask layer 103 with flushing.
With reference to Fig. 4, the hard mask layer 103 (referring to Fig. 3) is removed.
Using wet-etching technology, etching removes the hard mask layer 103.
In the present embodiment, the material of the hard mask layer 103 is silicon nitride, and etching removes hard mask layer 103 The etch liquids used is phosphoric acid solutions.
With reference to Fig. 5, the barrier film 105 (referring to Fig. 4) of segment thickness is removed, the covering substrate is formed 101 surfaces and the separation layer 106 of the sidewall surfaces of fin 102, the top of separation layer 106 are less than fin 102 tops, the separation layer 106 exposes the fin 102 of first thickness.
The effect of the separation layer 106 includes:On the one hand, it subsequently may proceed to etching and remove segment thickness Separation layer 106 is to form isolation structure;On the other hand, the covering of separation layer 106 fin 102 is big Partial sidewall surface, only the fin 102 of first thickness is exposed, therefore is isolated layer 106 and covers The influence that is produced from follow-up annealing of the side wall of fin 102, so as to ensure the width of fin 102 Characteristic size will not become big.
The first thickness is unsuitable excessive, otherwise subsequently exposed to the fin 102 made annealing treatment in environment Thickness is excessive, causes while 102 top corner round and smooth degree of fin is improved, to also result in thicker fin 102 width characteristics become large-sized, and influence the performance of fin field effect pipe.Therefore, in the present embodiment, institute First thickness is stated for 0.5nm~5nm.

During the annealing 107, the silicon atom positioned at the top corner region of fin 102 occurs Migrate, the general trend that migratory direction occurs for the silicon atom positioned at the top corner region of fin 102 is Moved to the surface direction of substrate 101.Therefore, the annealing 107 can improve the top of fin 102 The round and smooth degree at turning, the effect to top corner round and smoothization (corner rounding) of fin 102 is good.
In H2Atmosphere under carry out annealing and 107 can improve the round and smooth degree of the top corner of fin 102, Its mechanism of action is complex.As one kind explanation, masterpiece is answered due to the top corner region of fin 102 With larger so that the silicon atom dangling bonds in the top corner region of fin 102 are more, therefore, carried in the external world When supplying the enough energy of silicon atom in fin 102 top corner region, silicon atom can shake off Si-Si bond Constraint, as free silicon atom, free silicon atom is under self gravitation effect to the surface of substrate 101 Move in direction.
If the annealing temperature of the annealing 107 is too low, the silicon in the top corner region of fin 102 is former The energy that son is obtained is relatively low, and silicon atom, which is difficult to obtain, can shake off the energy of chemical bond constraint;At the annealing Also unsuitable too high, the otherwise migration of the silicon atom in the top corner region of fin 102 of the annealing temperature of reason 107 Distance will increase, and cause the width characteristics of fin 102 to become large-sized.Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is described The annealing temperature of annealing 107 is 300 DEG C~500 DEG C.

The isolation structure 108 plays a part of electric isolation.In the present embodiment, the second thickness is 5nm~50nm.
Mutually tied using wet-etching technology, dry etch process or wet-etching technology or dry etch process The etching technics of conjunction, etching removes the separation layer 106 of second thickness.
In the present embodiment, using wet-etching technology, etching removes the separation layer 106 of second thickness, described The etch liquids of wet-etching technology are hydrofluoric acid solution.
With reference to Fig. 8, after the isolation structure 108 is formed, to the fin higher than isolation structure 108 Portion 102 carries out oxidation processes, at the top of fin 102 and sidewall surfaces formation oxide layer 109.
