Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 is the corresponding structural schematic diagram of each step in a kind of forming method of semiconductor structure;
Fig. 6 to Figure 15 is the corresponding structural schematic diagram of each step in one embodiment of method for forming semiconductor structure of the present invention.
Specific embodiment
It can be seen from background technology that the performance of existing semiconductor structure is still to be improved.
It is analyzed now in conjunction with a kind of forming method of semiconductor structure, Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 is a kind of formation of semiconductor structure The corresponding structural schematic diagram of each step, the processing step for forming semiconductor structure specifically include that in method
With reference to Fig. 1, substrate 10 is provided and protrudes from the fin 20 of the substrate 10.
The substrate 10 includes the fringe region i and central area ii between the i of adjacent edge region.
The quantity of the fin 20 is multiple, multiple fins 20 spacing arrangements such as on the substrate 10.The side The fin 20 of edge region i and 10 side wall of substrate distance are first distance M1, the fin 20 of the fringe region i With at a distance from adjacent fin 20 be second distance M2, M1 ≠ M2.
With reference to Fig. 2, laying 32 is formed on 20 top of fin and side wall, and described in the laying 32 also covers 10 top of substrate.
With reference to Fig. 3, the isolation film 61 for covering the laying 32,61 top of isolation film are formed on the substrate 10 Higher than 32 surface of the laying for being located at 20 top of fin.
With reference to Fig. 4, removes the isolation film 61 (with reference to Fig. 3) of segment thickness and be located at 20 top of fin and part side Laying 32 on wall, the remaining isolation film 61 form separation layer 62, push up at the top of the separation layer 62 lower than the fin 20 Portion, and flushed at the top of 62 top of the separation layer and the remaining laying 32.
With reference to Fig. 5, using thermal oxidation processes in 20 top of the fin that the separation layer 62 exposes and side wall table Face forms gate oxide 70.
The performance for the semiconductor structure that the above method is formed is poor, analyzes its reason and is:
It is formed in the processing step of the gate oxide 70, the separation layer 62 will receive to form the gate oxide 70 The influence of process environments, for example, in process environments temperature influence so that 62 internal structure of the separation layer change to Stress applied to 20 side wall of fin, and the size of stress that applies to the fin 20 of the separation layer 62 and the separation layer 62 Volume it is related.Since 62 volume of separation layer of M1 ≠ M2, thus 20 two sides of fin of fringe region i differ, lead to marginal zone The stress intensity that the separation layer 62 that the 20 two sides side wall of fin of domain i is subject to applies is unequal.
When forming the gate oxide 70 using thermal oxidation processes, due to the technique of the thermal oxidation processes Temperature is high, and under high temperature environment, the stress that the separation layer 62 applies 20 side wall of fin is bigger, be easy to cause marginal zone The stress intensity serious unbalance that the 20 two sides side wall of fin of domain i is subject to, in turn result in fringe region i the fin 20 occur it is curved It is bent.
It is formed with the laying 32 between 20 side wall of 62 side wall of separation layer and the fin, for the fin 20 The stress that the separation layer 62 that side wall is subject to applies, the laying 32 have certain buffer function.32 thickness of laying is got over Greatly, then buffering effect is better.Although but separation layer 62 can be weakened to fin using the method for increasing by 32 thickness of laying 20 apply stress intensities, but will lead to be formed the isolation film 61 process window it is small so that the isolation film 61 fill The ability in region is poor between laying 32 on adjacent 20 side wall of fin, and it is of poor quality to cause to be formed by isolation film 61, Jin Erzao Formation at separation layer 62 is of poor quality.
For this purpose, the present invention provides a kind of method for forming semiconductor structure, comprising: fin includes the fin positioned at substrate surface First part and the fin second part at the top of the fin first part;It is formed on fin first part side wall First laying;The second laying is formed at the top of first laying surface, the fin second part and on side wall;? The isolation film for covering second laying is formed on the substrate, be higher than at the top of the fin at the top of the isolation film or with institute It states and is flushed at the top of fin;Removal is higher than the second laying and isolation film at the top of the fin first part, remaining isolation film Form separation layer;At the top of the fin that the separation layer exposes and sidewall surfaces form gate oxide.
The separation layer is influenced to apply stress to the fin side wall by process environments during forming gate oxide, First laying and second laying are between the separation layer and the fin side wall, and first liner Layer and the second laying thickness summation are big, therefore first laying and second laying are applied to separation layer The buffering effect of stress on fin side wall is good, can effectively weaken the stress that the separation layer applies the fin side wall Size improves the performance of semiconductor structure so that the fin be avoided to bend.In addition, being compared before forming the isolation film Spacing between the second laying on the second laying on the first laying, the adjacent fin second part side wall compared with Greatly, that is to say, that the process window for forming the isolation film is larger, and biggish process window helps to improve the isolation film Form quality.In addition, before forming the isolation film, first laying and second laying on the fin can be with Play the role of the protection fin portion surface, fin portion surface can be prevented to be oxidized during forming isolation film.
