Description

Transistor structure of semiconductor memory and method for manufacturing the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor storage technology, and more particularly, to a transistor structure of a semiconductor memory for improving leakage using ion implantation scattering and a method of manufacturing the same.
Background
Conventional semiconductor memory cells are typically formed of a MOS (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, metal oxide semiconductor) transistor and a capacitor, with information stored as charge on the plates of the capacitor. However, since the contact electrode plate of the capacitor is connected with the source-drain region of the transistor, the leakage current of the PN junction of the source-drain region easily causes the leakage phenomenon of the capacitor, which results in unstable information stored in the memory cell. The method for inhibiting leakage current in the background technology is to inject ions in the bit line contact window area, which are opposite to the original doping in the source drain electrode area, so as to reduce the concentration of the original doping impurities in the source drain electrode area, further slow down the electric field intensity of PN junction of the source drain electrode area and improve or inhibit the generation of leakage current. But the current path and resistance under the bit line contact in the bit line contact region are severely affected by the ion implantation in the bit line contact region. How to control the ion implantation area of the bit line contact window area and eliminate the influence of the ion implantation on the current path and the resistance under the bit line contact becomes a subject in the technical field.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As will be recognized by those of skill in the pertinent art, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.
The transistor structure of the semiconductor memory device and the method of manufacturing the same according to the present invention are described in detail below with reference to fig. 1a to 12b.
The embodiment of the invention provides a manufacturing method of a transistor structure of a semiconductor memory, which comprises the following steps.
In step S101, a substrate 110 is provided, and a plurality of active regions 111 are formed in the substrate 110, as shown in fig. 1a, 1b. Specifically, a substrate 110 is provided, in one embodiment, the substrate 110 is P-type or N-type; a photoresist is coated on the surface of the substrate 110 and a photoresist pattern (not shown) is formed, and a dopant opposite to the dopant type in the substrate 110 is implanted into the substrate 110 through the photoresist pattern to form a plurality of active regions 111, and in one embodiment, the implanted dopant is N-type (e.g., phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, etc.) when the substrate 110 is P-type, and the implanted dopant is P-type (e.g., boron, gallium, etc.) when the substrate 110 is N-type. The active regions 111 are arranged with each other to form an active region array. Fig. 1a is a top view of the surface of a substrate 110 after active regions 111 are formed in the substrate 110 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1b is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of fig. 1a, as shown, with active regions 111 formed on the surface of substrate 110 and not extending through substrate 110, with the two active regions 111 being separated from each other.
In step S102, the regions of the substrate 110 where the active regions 111 are separated from each other are etched, see fig. 2a, 2b. Specifically, a photoresist is deposited on the surface of the substrate 110 and a photoresist pattern (not shown) is formed, and regions of the active regions 111 separated from each other are etched by the photoresist pattern, as shown in fig. 2 a. In one embodiment, the etch depth is greater than the depth of the dopant implantation of active region 111, see fig. 2b. Subsequently, an isolation material is deposited to form isolation structures 112 between active regions 111, as shown in FIG. 2b, in one embodiment the isolation material comprises SiO 2
In step S103, a plurality of buried word lines 120 are formed in the substrate 110, see fig. 3a, 3b. Specifically, a plurality of recesses (not shown) are etched in the substrate 110, and in one embodiment, the method of etching includes wet etching. In one embodiment, the grooves are formed in the substrate 110 in a straight line extending manner and penetrate the active regions 111 and the isolation structures 112 between the active regions 111, the grooves are parallel to each other and intersect the active regions 111 at a certain angle, and each active region 111 intersects two of the grooves and is partitioned into three source-drain regions 111A, 111B, 111C. An insulating layer 121, a word line conductive layer 122, a seed layer (not shown), and a word line body 123 are sequentially deposited along the inner walls of the grooves to form word lines 120, and upper portions of the word line conductive layer 122, the seed layer, and the word line body 123 are removed by etching to form upper chambers 124 of the word lines 120, as shown in fig. 3a and 3b. The insulating layer 121 serves to insulate the word line 120 from the surrounding substrate 110 and active region 111. In one embodiment, the insulating layer 121 comprises silicon dioxide; the word line conductive layer 122 functions to prevent the diffusion of atoms of the word line body 123 to the insulating layer 121, the active region 111, and the substrate 110, and in one embodiment, the word line conductive layer 122 includes titanium or titanium nitride, etc.; the seed layer serves as a nucleation center for the wordline body 123 for guiding deposition of a subsequent wordline body 123, in one embodiment the seed layer has the same composition as the wordline body 123; the function of the word line body 123 is to form a body portion of the word line 120. In one embodiment, the word line body 123 comprises metal tungsten or the like.
The word lines 120 extend in a direction in which the active regions 111 and the isolation structures 112 are alternately arranged, and intersect the active regions 111 and the isolation structures 112, wherein each active region 111 intersects two word lines 120.
In step S104, a passivation layer 150 is deposited to cover the surface of the active region 111 and the word line 120 and fill the upper chamber 124 of the word line 120, as shown in fig. 4a and 4 b. The protection layer 150 serves to prevent contamination of impurities and to insulate the surface of the active region 111 and the upper portion of the word line 120 (i.e., the word line conductive layer 122, the seed layer, and the upper portion of the word line body 123), and in one embodiment, the protection layer 150 comprises silicon nitride or the like.
In step S105, the protection layer 150 in the central region between the two intersecting word lines 120 in the active region 111 of the substrate 110 is etched to the source/drain region 111A and the isolation structure 112 to form a through contact 111D, see fig. 5a and 5b. In one embodiment, the sidewalls of contact 111D do not contact the sidewalls of word line 120, separating a portion of active drain region 111A. In addition, as shown in the figure, after the contact window 111D is etched, the bottom of the contact window 111D exposes the silicon surface layer of the source/drain region 111A and the isolation material of the isolation structure 112.
In step S106, a conductive material 200 is deposited in the contact 111D and on the substrate 110 in the areas between the active regions 111, as shown in fig. 6a, 6 b. The upper surface of the conductive material 200 is flush with the protective layer 150. In one embodiment, the conductive material 200 comprises doped polysilicon or the like.
In step S107, a bit line material 300 is deposited and a photoresist pattern 400 corresponding to the bit line 140 is generated. Specifically, as shown in fig. 7a and 7b, a bit line material 300 is deposited on the entire surface of the substrate 110 to cover the protective layer 150 and the conductive material 200, and a photoresist is coated on the bit line material 300 and a photoresist pattern 400 corresponding to the bit line 140 is formed.
In step S108, the bit line material 300 is etched using the photoresist pattern 400 and the photoresist pattern 400 is removed, thereby forming a plurality of bit lines 140. As shown in fig. 8a and 8B, the bit lines 140 are preferably formed on the substrate 110 in a wavelike extending manner, and are regularly arranged at a certain interval, each bit line 140 is staggered with the plurality of active regions 111, the word lines 120 and the conductive material 200, and the section length of the bit lines 140 overlapped on the isolation structure 112 is greater than the section length of the bit lines 140 overlapped on the active regions 111 by more than two times, so that the source and drain regions 111A, 111B and 111C at two sides of the active regions 111 have a larger exposed area for installing the capacitor contact electrode plate 160.
In step S109, the conductive material 200 is etched using the bit line 140 as a mask to form the bit line contact pad 130 in the contact 111D, see fig. 9a and 9b. Specifically, the conductive material 200 in the contact 111D is etched to remove the conductive material 200 outside of the under bit line 140. Because bit line 140 is interleaved with active region 111, the overlapping area of bit line 140 and active region 111 is not fully matched in shape and size to contact 111D, such that the portion of conductive material 200 over active region 111 is not fully covered by bit line 140, uncovered conductive material 200 is etched away and conductive material 200 that is covered under bit line 140 is left, thereby forming bit line contact pad 130 under the area where bit line 140 covers active region 111, bit line contact pad 130 does not fully fill contact 111D, and bit line contact pad 130 is connected to the portion of bit line 140 that is interleaved over active region 111.
Meanwhile, the conductive material 200 on the active region 111 uncovered by the bit line 140 is etched to form an uncovered region 111E of the contact 111D, and expose the source/drain region 111A of the active region 111. In other words, the uncovered region 111E of the contact 111D is formed in the contact 111D and does not cover the bit line contact pad 130 and the bit line 140.
In step S110, ions are implanted into the active region 111 through the uncovered region 111E of the contact 111D, so as to form an ion re-implantation region 111F in the source/drain region 111A of the active region 111, as shown in fig. 10a, 10b, and 10c. In one embodiment, the shape of the ion re-implantation region 111F over the active region 111 comprises a triangle. Referring to fig. 10b, the dashed arrows in the uncovered region 111E of the contact 111D represent the direction of implanted ions, which in one embodiment are implanted using an ion implantation technique (Iron Implantation). The ions are also scattered (Scattering) when they are implanted into the source and drain regions 111A, 111B, 111C, thereby forming ion re-implantation diffusion regions 111G at the sides of the source and drain regions 111A, 111B, 111C near the word line 120. The vertical downward solid arrows in the active region 111 represent the direction of ion implantation, while the diagonal solid arrows represent the direction of scattering of ions in the source and drain regions 111B, 111C (solid arrows attached with reference numerals are not included). Fig. 10a and 10c show a top view and a cross-sectional view, respectively, of ion implantation followed by formation of an ion re-implantation region 111F and an ion re-implantation diffusion region 111G. In one embodiment, the ion re-implantation diffusion 111G is adjacent to a sidewall of the word line 120. The formation of the ion re-implantation region 111F and the ion re-implantation diffusion region 111G may slow down the electric field strength of the contact 111D outside the overlapping region of the bit line 140.
The implantation depth of the ion re-implantation region 111F is equal to or greater than the implantation depth of the top surface of the word line 120 from the upper surface of the substrate 110, but less than the ion implantation depth of the active region 111.
