Specifically, the present embodiment passes through the film depositions such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapour deposition (PVD) or ald Mode form first semiconductor material layer and second semiconductor layer 102.But this side using film deposition It is only an example that formula, which forms first semiconductor material layer and the way of second semiconductor layer 102,.The present invention other In embodiment, the material of the substrate is gallium antimony, direct over the substrate afterwards using the substrate as the first semiconductor layer Second semiconductor layer is formed to form the source region of the tunneling transistor or drain region.
Afterwards, remove part first semiconductor material layer and form the first semiconductor layer 101, so that part described second Semiconductor layer 102 is hanging, and the area of second semiconductor layer 102 is more than the area of first semiconductor layer 101, and described The second semiconductor layer 102 that first semiconductor layer 101 is in contact be into interface 102j, it is and described adjacent and hanging into interface 102j Second semiconductor layer 102 be suspension area 102c.
In the present embodiment, by removing part first semiconductor material layer, make part second semiconductor layer 102 Vacantly, so as to forming less first semiconductor layer 101 of area.Specifically, second semiconductor layer 102 into interface 102j Contacted with each other with the surface of the first semiconductor layer 101, form PN junction;The semiconductor layer 102 of the suspension area 102c is in hanging.
In the present embodiment, part first semiconductor material layer is removed by laterally etched mode, forms the first half Conductor layer 101.Specifically, along into interface 102j to suspension area 102c direction, first semiconductor material layer is removed Size LucIn 63 nanometers to 77 nanometer ranges;Form the size L of the first semiconductor layer 101jIn 45 nanometers to 55 nanometers models In enclosing.So it is along into interface 102j to suspension area 102c direction, the size into the second semiconductor layers of interface 102j 102 45 nanometers in 55 nanometer ranges;The size of second semiconductor layers of suspension area 102c 102 is at 63 nanometers to 77 nanometer ranges It is interior.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the remote side having a common boundary into the interface 102j and suspension area 102c, Second semiconductor layer 102 flushes with first semiconductor layer 101.
With continued reference to Fig. 2, gate dielectric layer 103 is formed on second semiconductor layer 102, the gate dielectric layer 103 covers Cover it is described into interface 102j and with the part suspension area 102c being connected into interface 102j.
Specifically, the semiconductor structure has high-K metal gate structure.So the gate dielectric layer 103 is high K dielectric Material.The present embodiment, the material silica zirconium (ZrO of the gate dielectric layer 1032), chemical vapor deposition, physics gas can be passed through The methods of phase deposition or ald, is formed.In the present embodiment, the thickness T of the gate dielectric layer 103ZrO2Arrived at 9 nanometers In 11 nanometer ranges.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the material of the gate dielectric layer 103 is also selected from hafnium oxide, lanthana, oxygen Change aluminium, titanium oxide, strontium titanates, aluminum oxide lanthanum, yittrium oxide, nitrogen oxidation hafnium, nitrogen oxidation zirconium, nitrogen oxidation lanthanum, titanium oxynitrides, nitrogen oxidation One or more in strontium titanium, nitrogen oxidation lanthanum aluminium, yttrium oxynitride.
The gate dielectric layer 103 cover it is described into interface 102j and it is described into interface 102j be connected part suspension area 102c.The area of the gate dielectric layer 103 is more than the area of first semiconductor layer 101 and is less than second semiconductor layer 102 area.
It should be noted that away from the side having a common boundary into the interface 102j and suspension area 102c, the gate medium Layer 103 is flush with second semiconductor layer 102 and first semiconductor layer 101;Along into interface 102j to suspension area 102c direction, the size L of the gate dielectric layer 103mMore than the size L of first semiconductor layer 1101jAnd less than described the The size of two semiconductor layers 102.Specifically, the size L of the gate dielectric layer 103mIn 63 nanometers to 77 nanometer ranges.
With continued reference to Fig. 2, pseudo- gate layer 120a is formed on the gate dielectric layer 103, the pseudo- gate layer 102a is described Projection on two semiconductor layers 102 is positioned at described into the 102j of interface.
The pseudo- gate layer 120a is used to define follow-up position and the chi for forming first grid lamination and second grid lamination It is very little.Specifically, the material of the pseudo- gate layer 120a is polysilicon.Because the semiconductor structure is with high-K metal gate knot The semiconductor structure of structure, therefore extended meeting is removed after the pseudo- gate layer 120a, to form metal gates.
Due to projections of the pseudo- gate layer 120a on second semiconductor layer 102 positioned at described into the 102j of interface, So the area of the pseudo- gate layer 120a is less than the area into interface 102j of second semiconductor layer 102.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the remote side having a common boundary with the suspension area 102c is described into interface 102j The second semiconductor layer 102 flushed with the pseudo- gate layer 120a.In addition, flushing side along backwards to described, the pseudo- gate layer is formed After 120a, the size of the remaining gate dielectric layer 103 is in 27 nanometers to 33 nanometer ranges.
The step of forming the pseudo- gate layer 120a includes:Pseudo- gate material layer is formed on the surface of gate dielectric layer 103;Institute State pseudo- gate material layer surface and form the first patterned layer;Using first patterned layer as mask, the pseudo- gate material layer is etched Until exposing the surface of gate dielectric layer 103, the pseudo- gate layer 120a is formed.
First patterned layer is used for size and the position for defining the pseudo- gate layer 120a.In the present embodiment, described One patterned layer is photoresist layer, and the gate dielectric layer 103 can be formed at by photoresist coating process and photoetching process Surface.
But the way for forming first patterned layer of photoresist layer is only an example.Other embodiments of the invention In, in order to reduce formed pseudo- gate layer 120a size, so as to reduce the size of follow-up institute's formation second grid lamination, described One patterned layer can also be formed using multiple graphical masking process.The multiple graphical masking process includes:Autoregistration Dual graphing (Self-aligned Double Patterned, SaDP) technique, the triple graphical (Self- of autoregistration Aligned Triple Patterned) graphical (the Self-aligned Double Double of technique or autoregistration quadruple Patterned, SaDDP) technique.
With reference to figure 3, first grid lamination 110 is formed on the surface of gate dielectric layer 103 not by the pseudo- gate layer 120a coverings.
Due to projections of the pseudo- gate layer 120a on second semiconductor layer 102 positioned at described into the 102j of interface, So projection of the first grid lamination 110 formed on second semiconductor layer 102 cover the suspension area 102c with And with the part that the suspension area 102c is connected into interface.So the first grid lamination 110 is used to control described the second half Raceway groove of the conductor layer 102 into interface 102j and the suspension area 102c intersections, that is to say, that the first grid lamination 110 For controlling second semiconductor layer into the raceway groove at interface 102j edges.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, along side is flushed backwards, formed after the pseudo- gate layer 120a, it is remaining The size of the gate dielectric layer 103 is in 27 nanometers to 33 nanometer ranges, so the size L of the first grid lamination 110m1 27 nanometers in 33 nanometer ranges.
In order to effectively improve the tunnelling starting voltage of trench edges (Tunneling Onset Voltage), described first Gate stack 110 has larger work function.Specifically, the work function of the first grid lamination 110 is more than 4.6eV.
Specifically, the first grid lamination 110 includes the first cap.First cap is used to adjust described the The work function of one gate stack 110, so the material of first cap includes tungsten, molybdenum, platinum, rhenium or iridium.In the present embodiment, The material of first cap is tungsten.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the second grid lamination subsequently formed is also covered in part described first On gate stack 110.So with reference to figure 4, it is remote in the first grid lamination 110 after the gate stack 110 is formed Part surface from described pseudo- gate layer 120a one end forms hard mask layer 120b, the hard mask layer 120b and led described the second half The projection on the surface of body layer 102 is located in the suspension area 102c.
It should be noted that being formed after the first grid lamination 110, formed before the hard mask 120b, it is described Forming method also includes:Planarization process is carried out to the first grid lamination 110, so that the He of first grid lamination 110 The pseudo- gate layer 120a top surfaces flush, so as to provide smooth operating platform for follow-up semiconductor technology.Specifically, this Embodiment carries out the planarization process by the way of cmp.
The hard mask layer 120b is used for size and the position for defining follow-up institute's formation second grid lamination.Further, since The hard mask layer 120b is located at part surface of the first grid lamination 110 away from described pseudo- gate layer 120a one end, and Projections of the hard mask layer 120b on the surface of the second semiconductor layer 102 is located in the suspension area 102c, so subsequently First grid lamination 110 described in the second grid lamination also covering part formed.
Specifically, the material of the hard mask layer 120b is nitride, such as silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride or carbonitride of silicium Deng.Size and the position of the second grid lamination are defined using the hard mask layer 120b of nitride material, can effectively be reduced Error is etched, obtains and designs closer figure with former.
