Description
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to semiconductor technologies, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device.
Background
With the reduction of the critical dimension of Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs), Fin Field Effect transistors (finfets) with better gate control capability are gradually used to replace planar devices.
However, the inventors of the present application found that: when the FinFET works, electric field lines are intensively distributed in a region where a grid electrode and a source electrode are overlapped and the grid electrode and a drain electrode are overlapped, the density of the electric field lines at the top of the fin is particularly high, the electric field intensity of the region is high, the hot carrier effect is serious, and therefore the reliability of the FinFET is lower than that of a planar device.
For a planar device, the electric field strength of the gate and source and the gate and drain overlapped region can be reduced by a drain light doping (LDD) process, thereby improving the hot carrier effect. However, for the FinFET, this approach is not sufficient to reduce the electric field strength of the region where the gate and the source and the gate and the drain overlap to a desired degree, and thus the reliability of the FinFET is to be further improved.

Fig. 1 is a simplified flow diagram of a method of fabricating a semiconductor device according to one embodiment of the present application. Fig. 2A-7 show schematic diagrams of stages of a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present application.
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2A to 7.
As shown in fig. 1, first, in step 102, a substrate structure is provided.
One implementation of forming the substrate structure is described below in conjunction with fig. 2A-6B.
As shown in fig. 2A and 2B, an initial substrate structure is provided. The initial substrate structure includes a substrate 201, a fin 202 on the substrate 201 for a MOS device, and an isolation region 203 on the substrate 201 around the fin 202, an upper surface of the isolation region 203 being lower than an upper surface of the fin 202. The MOS devices may be PMOS devices or NMOS devices.
The substrate 201 may be, for example, an elemental semiconductor substrate such as a silicon substrate or a germanium substrate, or a compound semiconductor substrate such as gallium arsenide. The material of the fin 202 may be the same semiconductor material as the material of the substrate 201 or may be a different semiconductor material than the material of the substrate 201. The material of the isolation region 203 may be, for example, a dielectric material such as silicon oxide.
As shown in fig. 3A and 3B, a dummy gate structure is formed on the initial substrate structure. The dummy gate structure includes a dummy gate dielectric layer 301 on a portion of the fin 202 and a dummy gate 302 on the dummy gate dielectric layer 301. For example, a dummy gate dielectric layer 301 may first be formed over a portion of the fin 202; a dummy gate material layer (not shown) is then formed on the dummy gate dielectric layer 301; then forming a patterned hard mask layer 203 on the dummy gate material layer; the dummy gate material layer is then patterned using the hard mask layer 203 as a mask to form a dummy gate 302. In one embodiment, the material of the dummy gate dielectric layer 301 may include silicon oxide, etc., and the material of the dummy gate 302 may include polysilicon, etc. The hard mask layer 303 may typically be silicon nitride or the like.
As shown in fig. 4A and 4B, an interlayer dielectric layer 401 is deposited, and then the deposited interlayer dielectric layer 401 is planarized to remove the hard mask layer 303 and expose the dummy gate 302.
As shown in fig. 5A and 5B, the dummy gate 302 and the dummy gate dielectric layer 301 are removed, thereby forming a trench 501, the trench 501 exposing a portion of the fin 202.
As shown in fig. 6A and 6B, a gate dielectric layer 601 and a work function metal layer 602 are sequentially deposited. In one embodiment, gate dielectric layer 601 may be a high-k dielectric layer, such as hafnium oxide or the like. In one embodiment, a cap layer, a barrier layer, or the like may also be formed between the gate dielectric layer 601 and the work function metal layer 602.
In one embodiment, the MOS device may be a PMOS device and the work function metal layer 602 may include one or more of TiN, TaC, and MoN. In another embodiment, the MOS device may be an NMOS device and the work function metal layer 602 may comprise one or more of TiAl, TaC, and Al. However, the application is not limited thereto, and the work function metal layer 602 may be other suitable materials capable of adjusting the work function of the gate structure of the device.
Referring to fig. 6A and 6B, a substrate structure may be formed that includes a substrate 201, a fin 202 for a MOS device on the substrate 201, and an isolation region 203 on the substrate 201 around the fin 202, an upper surface of the isolation region 203 being lower than an upper surface of the fin 202.
The substrate structure may further include an interlayer dielectric layer 401 over the isolation region 203 and the fins 202, the interlayer dielectric layer 401 having a trench 501 exposing a portion of the fins 202.
The substrate structure may also include a gate dielectric layer 601 on the top and sides of the exposed portions of fins 202 and a work function metal layer 602 on the gate dielectric layer 601. In one embodiment, there may be other material layers between the gate dielectric layer 601 and the work function metal layer 602, such as a cap layer, a barrier layer, and the like.
It is understood that there may also be a gate dielectric layer 601 and a work function metal layer 602 on the bottom and sidewalls of trench 501.
Returning to fig. 1, at step 104, the workfunction metal layer 602 is ion implanted to increase the threshold voltage of the MOS device, as shown in fig. 7. For example, the work function metal layer 602 on the upper surface and the side surface of the exposed portion of the fin 202 may be ion-implanted, or only the work function metal layer 602 on the upper surface of the exposed portion of the fin 202 may be ion-implanted.
Preferably, the ion implantation may be performed only on the work function metal layer 602 on the upper surface of the exposed portion of the fin 202 to reduce the electric field strength at the top of the fin 202 during operation of the MOS device. More preferably, the work function metal layer 602 on the upper surface of the region of the exposed portion of the fin 202 close to the interlayer dielectric layer 401 (i.e., the overlapping region of the gate and the source/drain region formed later) may be ion implanted to reduce the electric field strength of the overlapping region of the gate and the source/drain region when the MOS device is in operation. In one embodiment, ion implantation may be performed using the interlayer dielectric layer 401 as a mask, so as to better perform ion implantation of the work function metal layer 602 on the upper surface of the region of the exposed portion of the fin 202 close to the interlayer dielectric layer 401.
Preferably, the implantation energy of the ion implantation is relatively small, such as less than 5KeV, e.g., 2KeV, 4KeV, etc. Preferably, an angle between an implantation direction of the ion implantation and a normal line of the interlayer dielectric layer 401 may be 0 to 20 degrees, for example, 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, or the like. More preferably, the angle between the implantation direction of the ion implantation and the normal line of the interlayer dielectric layer 401 is 0 to 20 degrees, and the implantation direction of the ion implantation is substantially parallel to the side surface of the fin 202, so that only the work function metal layer 602 on the upper surface of the fin 202 is implanted as much as possible, and the work function metal layer 602 on the side surface of the fin 202 is not implanted or implanted with a small amount of impurities.
For NMOS devices, the ion implanted impurities may include one or more of the following: n, F, C, As and La. For PMOS devices, the ion implanted impurities may include one or more of Al and Ga. However, it should be understood that the present application is not limited to the examples of the impurities given above as long as the impurities implanted by the ion implantation can increase the threshold voltage of the NMOS device or the PMOS device.
After ion implantation, a metal gate may be formed on the work function metal layer 602.
The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to one embodiment of the present application is described above. In the manufacturing method of the embodiment, after the work function metal layer is formed, the work function metal layer is subjected to ion implantation capable of increasing the threshold voltage of the MOS device, so that the electric field intensity of the MOS device in a fin during operation is reduced, and the reliability of the MOS device is improved.
The method for adjusting the threshold voltage of the device by ion implantation of the work function metal layer provided by the embodiment is suitable for both NMOS devices and PMOS devices. In addition, for the process of simultaneously manufacturing the NMOS device and the PMOS device, the threshold voltages of the NMOS device and the PMOS device may also be adjusted in the above manner. This is explained below with reference to the embodiment shown in fig. 8.
Fig. 8 is a simplified flow diagram of a method of fabricating a semiconductor device according to another embodiment of the present application.
First, in step 802, a substrate structure is provided.
The substrate structure may include a substrate, a first fin for a PMOS device and a second fin for an NMOS device on the substrate, and an isolation region on the substrate around the first fin and the second fin, an upper surface of the isolation region being lower than an upper surface of the first fin and the second fin.
The substrate structure may also include an interlayer dielectric layer over the isolation region and the first and second fins. The inter-level dielectric layer has a first trench exposing a first portion of the first fin and a second trench exposing a second portion of the second fin.
The substrate structure may further include a gate dielectric layer on upper surfaces and sides of the first and second portions and a first work function metal layer on the gate dielectric layer. The gate dielectric layer is preferably a high-k dielectric layer. The first workfunction metal layer may comprise one or more of: TiN, TaC, MoN.
The gate dielectric layer and the first work function metal layer may be provided on the bottom and the sidewall of the first trench and the second trench.
Next, at step 804, a first ion implantation is performed on the first workfunction metal layer to increase the threshold voltage of the PMOS device. The impurity implanted by the first ion implantation may include one or more of Al and Ga.
Preferably, the first ion implantation is performed only to the first work function metal layer on the upper surfaces of the first and second portions. More preferably, the first ion implantation is performed on the first work function metal layer on the upper surface of the region of the first portion and the second portion near the interlayer dielectric layer (i.e., the region overlapping the source/drain regions). In one embodiment, the first ion implantation may be performed with the interlayer dielectric layer as a mask.
Preferably, the implantation energy of the first ion implantation may be less than 5KeV, such as 2KeV, 4KeV, or the like. Preferably, the angle between the implantation direction of the first ion implantation and the normal of the interlayer dielectric layer may be 0-20 degrees, for example, 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, etc. More preferably, the angle between the implantation direction of the first ion implantation and the normal of the interlayer dielectric layer is 0-20 degrees, and the implantation direction of the first ion implantation is substantially parallel to the side surfaces of the first fins, so that only the first work function metal layers on the upper surfaces of the first fins and the second fins can be implanted as far as possible, and the first work function metal layers on the side surfaces of the first fins and the second fins are not implanted or implanted with a small amount of impurities.
Then, at step 806, after the first ion implantation is performed, the first work function metal layer on the upper surface and the side surface of the second portion is removed, thereby exposing the gate dielectric layer on the second portion.
Thereafter, at step 808, a second work function metal layer is formed on the first work function metal layer on the upper surface and sides of the first portion and the gate dielectric layer on the upper surface and sides of the second portion. The second workfunction metal layer may comprise one or more of: TiAl, TaC and Al.
Thereafter, at step 810, a second ion implantation is performed on the second workfunction metal layer to increase the threshold voltage of the NMOS device. The impurities implanted by the second ion implantation may include one or more of the following: n, F, C, As and La.
Thereafter, the first trench and the second trench may be filled with a metal gate, thereby forming a gate for an NMOS device and a gate for a PMOS device.
Preferably, the second ion implantation is performed only to the second work function metal layer on the upper surfaces of the first and second portions. More preferably, the second ion implantation is performed on the second work function metal layer on the upper surface of the region where the first portion and the second portion are close to the interlayer dielectric layer. In one embodiment, the second ion implantation may be performed with the interlayer dielectric layer as a mask.
Preferably, the implantation energy of the second ion implantation may be less than 5KeV, e.g., 2KeV, 4KeV, etc. Preferably, the angle between the implantation direction of the second ion implantation and the normal of the interlayer dielectric layer may be 0-20 degrees, such as 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, and the like. More preferably, the angle between the injection direction of the second ion injection and the normal of the interlayer dielectric layer is 0-20 degrees, and the injection direction of the second ion injection is basically parallel to the side surface of the second fin, so that only the second work function metal layer on the upper surface of the first fin and the second fin can be injected as far as possible, and the second work function metal layer on the side surface of the first fin and the second fin is not injected or is injected with little impurity.
In the above embodiment, after the first work function metal layer is formed, the first work function metal layer is subjected to first ion implantation capable of increasing the threshold voltage of the PMOS device, so that the electric field intensity of the PMOS device in the first fin during operation is reduced, and the reliability of the PMOS device is improved. In addition, after the second work function metal layer is formed, second ion implantation capable of increasing the threshold voltage of the NMOS device is carried out on the second work function metal layer, so that the electric field intensity of the NMOS device in the first fin during working is reduced, and the reliability of the NMOS device is improved.
