Detailed Description
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and which together with the embodiments of the invention serve to explain the principles of the invention and not to limit its scope.
Example one
The invention discloses a specific embodiment of gas for etching an inner side wall of a nanowire device, which comprises the following components: CH (CH)2F2、CH4、O2And Ar.
Compared with the prior art, the embodiment can not only retain the side wall material in the groove, but also realize high selection ratio of materials such as silicon, a top hard mask and the like by optimizing the composition of the etching gas, and the selection ratio is not lower than 5: 1.
Specifically, each component CH in the etching gas2F2/CH4/O2The ratio of/Ar is 1:1:1: 2-1: 1:1:5, and the etching morphology can be accurately controlled by controlling the ratio.
Example two
The invention discloses a method for etching the inner side wall of the nanowire device. The etching method uses the etching gas of the first embodiment, and the flow rate of each component in the etching process is CH2F2:10~30sccm,CH4:10~30sccm,O2:10~30sccm,Ar40~100sccm。
Compared with the prior art, the etching method provided by the embodimentThe flow rate of each component in the etching gas is controlled to be CH2F2:10~30sccm,CH4:10~30sccm,O2: 10-30 sccm and Ar 40-100 sccm, which can ensure a certain etching rate (not less than 1nm/min) and ensure the etching of other materials such as SiO2The etching has high selection ratio which is not lower than 5:1, and the side wall roughness can not occur.
Specifically, when CH2F2When the flow rate is lower than 10sccm, the etching is stopped; at flow rates above 30sccm, etch selectivity to other materials is low, such as SiO2Has an etch selectivity of less than 5: 1.
To prevent the occurrence of (-CH)2-)nDeposition, the etching method provided in this example uses CH4The flow rate of (2) is controlled to 10 to 30 sccm. This is because, when CH4Above 30sccm, (-CH) occurs2-)nDeposition, as shown in fig. 7; when CH is present4Below 10sccm, no selectivity occurs, as shown in FIG. 8.
Considering if O is present2On the one hand, partial isotropic etching occurs and on the other hand, side wall roughness occurs, so that through innovative research, O is optimized2Will ultimately be O2The flow rate of (2) is controlled to 10 to 30 sccm. In the experiment, if O is found2If the flow rate of (2) is out of the above range, there is a problem of undercut.
Specifically, when O is2Above 30sccm, anisotropy cannot be maintained, and an undercut problem occurs, as shown in FIG. 9; when O is present2Below 10sccm, this results in a rough sidewall, as shown in FIG. 10.
From the viewpoint of improving the labor productivity, the etching rate cannot be too low, e.g., cannot be lower than 1 nm/min. This requires tight control of the flow rate of Ar, since too low or too high a flow rate of Ar will result in an etch rate of less than 1 nm/min. It was found experimentally that when the flow rate of Ar is below 40sccm, the etch rate is too low (<1 nm/min); similarly, when the flow rate of Ar is higher than 100sccm, an etching rate lower than 1nm/min is also observed. Therefore, in the etching method of the present embodiment, the flow rate of Ar is controlled to be 40-100 sccm.
It should be noted that the etching machine used in the etching method of the present embodiment is an ICP etching machine. In order to ensure a high selectivity for etching other materials, in particular for SiO2High selectivity. In the embodiment, the upper radio frequency power of the ICP etching machine is controlled to be 100-1000W, and the lower radio frequency power is controlled to be 10-80W.
Specifically, when the upper RF power is lower than 100W, the etching rate is too low (<1 nm/min); when the upper radio frequency power is higher than 1000W, the power is applied to other materials such as SiO2The etch selectivity is low, below 5: 1.
Similarly, when the lower RF power is 10W, the etching rate is too low (<1 nm/min); when the lower RF power is higher than 100W, it is suitable for other materials such as SiO2The etch selectivity is low, below 5: 1.
According to the etching method, the upper radio frequency power is controlled to be 100-1000W, and the lower radio frequency power is controlled to be 10-80W, so that a certain etching rate (not less than 1nm/min) can be ensured, and high selection ratio of etching other materials, such as SiO, can be realized2The selection ratio of (A) is not less than 5: 1.
In the experiment, the temperature of the base also has a very important influence on the etching effect, so the temperature of the base is also controlled in the etching method of the embodiment.
Specifically, when the susceptor temperature is below-20 ℃, the etching rate is too low, such as below 1 nm/min; and when the temperature of the base is higher than 90 ℃, completely isotropic etching is caused, so that the inner side wall structure cannot be reserved.
In the embodiment, the temperature of the base is controlled to be-20-90 ℃, so that a certain etching rate (not less than 1nm/min) can be ensured, anisotropic etching can be realized, and an inner side wall structure is reserved.
EXAMPLE III
In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, a method for manufacturing a nanowire device is disclosed, which includes the following steps:
step S1: epitaxial Si and SiGe stacks and SiO on substrates2And/or a SiN hard mask;
step S2: adopting oxidation process to make two ends of SiGe layer produce germanium oxide and two ends of Si layer produce silicon oxide, adopting CF4/C4F8Performing plasma selective etching to remove germanium oxide generated by oxidation in the SiGe layer, so that a filling gap with a preset length is formed between the residual SiGe layer and the adjacent Si layer with silicon oxide at two ends;
step S3: depositing inner side wall materials in the filled gaps and on the exposed surfaces of other structural layers;
step S4: and removing the material of the inner side wall outside the filled gap by adopting the etching method of the second embodiment to form the inner side wall.
Specifically, step S1 includes the steps of:
step S11: forming a laminated part and a false gate on a substrate, wherein the laminated part is positioned on the surface of the substrate and comprises a Si layer and a SiGe layer which are alternately arranged, and the false gate is positioned on the surface of the laminated part far away from the substrate;
step S12: depositing SiO on the outer surface of the false gate2And/or a SiN hard mask.
Note that, in the stacked portion in step S11, the SiGe layer, the Si layer, the SiGe layer, and the like may be stacked in this order, or the Si layer, the SiGe layer, the Si layer, and the like may be stacked in this order. Specifically, the SiGe layer is deposited first or the Si layer is deposited first according to actual conditions. In addition, the number of the structural layers in the stacked part is at least three, and the specific number of the structural layers also needs to be set according to the actual situation, and is specifically determined according to the number of stacked nanowires.
Further, the number of structural layers in the stacked part was 6, and 3 nanowires were stacked.
In addition, the oxidation process in step S2 may be a single oxidation step or a plurality of oxidation steps.

The fin of fig. 12 may be formed by stacking a Si material and a SiGe material on the substrate 10 in this order to form a SiGe layer 32 and a Si layer 31 having a larger area, as shown in fig. 11, and then forming the fin of fig. 12 by etching. Specifically, the Si material and the SiGe material may be provided by any method available in the art, and in a specific embodiment of the present invention, a reduced pressure epitaxy process or a molecular beam epitaxy process is used. The process of forming the fin by etching may be to form a hard mask pattern by a side wall transfer technique (STL for short) or other lithography techniques, where the hard mask may be a silicon nitride layer, a silicon dioxide layer, or a stack of a silicon dioxide layer and a silicon nitride layer, and then to form the fin by etching using a dry etching process.
The step S2 includes: step S21, performing the oxidation process for 3-7 min by using a rapid thermal processing method (RTP) at 700-900 ℃ in an oxygen atmosphere; step S22, repeating the step S21 at least times to generate germanium oxide 320 at two ends of the SiGe layer 32 in the stacked part 30 and silicon oxide 310 at two ends of the Si layer 31, wherein in the step, a low temperature oxidation process is adopted and the growth is repeated for multiple times to further ensure that germanium oxide GeO is generated at two ends of the SiGe layer 32ySo that silicon oxide 310, i.e., SiO, is generated at both ends of the Si layer 31xAnd it is ensured that the SiGe layer 32 and the Si layer 31 do not mutually expand.
In order to provide stress to the SiGe layer 32 and the Si layer 31 of the subsequent stacked part 30, in an embodiment of the present invention, before step S1, the method further includes disposing a strain buffer layer 20 on the surface of the substrate 10, and the stacked part 30 is located on the surface of the strain buffer layer 20 away from the substrate 10. During the subsequent formation of the fin, part of the stress buffer layer is etched away, as shown in fig. 12.
The material of the stress buffer layer of the invention can be selected according to the actual situation, and particularly, the material with obvious Ge concentration difference with the material of the bottommost layer in the lamination part (namely, the structural layer with the minimum distance from the substrate in the lamination part) is selected, and the difference is between 20% and 90%.
Furthermore, the material of the strain buffer layer is SiGe, and the weight of Ge in the strain buffer layer accounts for 10% -50%. This can provide the necessary stress to the stack to improve device performance.
It should be noted that the substrate of the present invention can be formed of any feasible material, such as a silicon substrate or an SOI substrate, and those skilled in the art can select a specific material to form the substrate of the present invention according to actual situations.
In step S2, CF is calculated by volume percentage4/C4F8The ratio of (A) to (B) is 2: 1-10: 1. This is because: when CF4:C4F8A ratio lower than 2:1 will result in no etching of the sidewall GeOyMaterials, since too high a C/F ratio results in greater deposition than etching; when CF4:C4F8When the ratio is higher than 10:1, the etching can not be controlled to stay at GeOyThe material can also etch the SiGe material below, so that the etching depth of the cavity cannot be accurately controlled, the thickness of the subsequent inner side wall cannot be controlled, and the length of the nanowire is influenced finally.
Specifically, in step S2, the flow rate of the etching gas during etching is CF4:100~200sccm,C4F8:10~100sccm。
Compared with the prior art, in the preparation method, the germanium oxide is generated at two ends of the SiGe layer by adopting an oxidation process, the silicon oxide is generated at two ends of the Si layer, the germanium oxide generated by oxidation in the SiGe layer is removed, a filling gap with a preset length is formed between the residual SiGe layer and the adjacent Si layer with the silicon oxide at two ends, and finally, the inner side wall material is filled in the filling gap to form the inner side wall. In the method, two different oxides are obtained on two material layers of SiGe layer and Si layer in a self-alignment way by optimizing the oxidation process conditions, whereinGermanium oxide GeOyThe method has poor stability, can remove the Ge layer in water or other acid solutions at a high selectivity ratio, and can accurately control the length of a filling gap for filling the inner side wall in the Ge layer through a scheme of one-time or multiple-time oxidation so as to accurately reach a preset length, and further can subsequently form the inner side wall with an accurate length. Compared with the scheme of forming the notch by wet etching in the prior art, the process has stronger controllability. And the generated silicon oxide can also avoid the damage caused by the etching of the transverse removing part and the strong etching of the inner side, thereby being convenient for improving the performance of the device.
