Detailed Description
As described in the background art, in order to reduce the parasitic capacitance between the gate structure and the metal plug in the CMOS device, a method of converting silicon nitride or silicon dioxide sidewalls at two sides of the gate structure into air sidewalls is proposed in the prior art, however, the sidewalls at two sides of the gate structure have the function of protecting the gate. Therefore, in the prior art, the sidewall on both sides of the gate structure is changed into the air sidewall to reduce the parasitic capacitance between the gate structure and the metal plug, so that the stability of the gate structure is reduced, and the performance and response time of the CMOS device are greatly influenced.
Therefore, the invention provides a preparation method of a semiconductor device, which is used for reducing parasitic capacitance in a CMOS device and ensuring the stability of a grid structure at the same time, thereby improving the operation speed and response time of the CMOS device. For example, referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the preparation method comprises the following steps:
step S100, providing a semiconductor substrate, wherein a gate structure, a first side wall, a contact etching barrier layer and a dielectric layer are formed on the semiconductor substrate, the first side wall is positioned on the side wall of the gate structure, the contact etching barrier layer covers the gate structure, the first side wall and the surface of the semiconductor substrate, the dielectric layer covers the contact etching barrier layer, and a low-doped source/drain (LDD) region, a drain region and a source region which are positioned at two sides of the gate structure are also arranged in the semiconductor substrate;
step S200, selectively removing at least part of the contact etching barrier layer covering the surface of the first side wall to form a first opening exposing at least part of the surface of the first side wall;
step S300, removing the first side wall along the first opening to form a side wall groove;
step S400, forming a second side wall to be filled in the side wall groove, wherein the dielectric constant of the second side wall is lower than that of the first side wall;
step S500, forming at least one source drain contact hole, wherein each source drain contact hole penetrates through the dielectric layer and the contact etching barrier layer and exposes the top surface of the grid structure or the top surface of the drain region or the top surface of the source region;
and step S600, filling a conductive material in each source/drain contact hole to form a source/drain conductive contact plug.
That is, in the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device provided by the present invention, the first sidewall and the dielectric layer with a high dielectric constant between the gate structure and the conductive contact plug are converted into the second sidewall with a low dielectric constant and not air, so that the parasitic capacitance between the gate structure and the conductive contact plug on the semiconductor substrate is reduced on the basis of realizing the original structural action, and the second sidewall still exists on the gate sidewall, thereby avoiding the problem that the gate sidewall cannot be protected when the air sidewall is used, ensuring the stability of the gate structure, and further improving the operating speed and the response time of the semiconductor device.
The semiconductor device and the method for manufacturing the same according to the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description. It is to be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are not to precise scale, which is merely for the purpose of facilitating and distinctly claiming the embodiments of the present invention.
Fig. 2a to 2f are schematic structural diagrams of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device in an embodiment of the present invention during a manufacturing process thereof.
In step S100, specifically referring to fig. 2a, a semiconductor substrate 100 is provided, wherein the semiconductor substrate 100 is used to provide a platform for operation of the subsequent process to generate a CMOS device. The material of the semiconductor substrate 100 is selected from monocrystalline silicon; the semiconductor substrate 100 may also be selected from compounds such as silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, or silicon germanium; the semiconductor substrate 100 may also be other semiconductor materials. An NMOS region and/or a PMOS region (not shown) may be formed on the semiconductor substrate 100, and the NMOS region and the PMOS region may be formed with the same semiconductor structure and isolated by a shallow trench isolation structure. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a structure for manufacturing a MOS is mainly used as an example for description. In this embodiment, a gate structure 110, a first sidewall 120, a contact etch stop layer 130, and a dielectric layer 140 are formed on the semiconductor substrate 100, wherein the gate structure 110 includes a polysilicon layer 111 and a metal silicide layer 112 sequentially stacked along a direction away from the semiconductor substrate 100. The first side wall 120 is located on a side wall of the gate structure 110, the contact etching blocking layer 130 covers surfaces of the gate structure 110, the first side wall 120 and the semiconductor substrate 100, the dielectric layer 140 covers the contact etching blocking layer 130, and a drain region D and a source region S located at two sides of the gate structure 110 are further arranged in the semiconductor substrate 100.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first sidewall 120 may have a single-layer sidewall structure, or may have a multi-layer sidewall structure. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the double-layer sidewall structure shown in fig. 2a and fig. 2b may also be a triple-layer sidewall structure of an ONO film layer. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, each of the double- layer sidewall spacers 120a or 120b may include an oxide layer 121 and a nitride layer 122 stacked in sequence along a direction perpendicular to the sidewall of the gate structure 110, where the oxide layer 121 covers the sidewall of the gate structure 110 and a portion of the surface of the semiconductor substrate 100, and the nitride layer 122 covers the surface of the oxide layer 121, as shown in fig. 2 a. Illustratively, the material of the oxide layer 121 is silicon dioxide, and the material of the nitride layer 122 is silicon nitride.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2a and fig. 2b, a low doped drain/source region LDD may be further disposed in the semiconductor substrate 100 on both sides of the gate structure, wherein the low doped drain/source region LDD may function to prevent a hot electron degradation effect and provide a shallow junction to reduce a short channel effect; alternatively, another structure (not shown) may be provided in the semiconductor substrate 100.
Optionally, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a specific step of forming the dielectric layer 140 on the contact etching blocking layer 130, including:
first, and with particular reference to FIG. 2b, a dielectric layer 140' is deposited on the surface of the contact etch stop layer 130.
Then, the top of the dielectric layer 140' is planarized chemically and mechanically until the contact etch stop layer 130 on the top surface of the gate structure 110 is exposed, thereby forming the dielectric layer 140 as shown in fig. 2 a.
In step S200, referring to fig. 2c specifically, at least a portion of the contact etch stop layer 130 covering the surface of the first sidewall 120 is selectively removed to form a first opening 101 exposing at least a portion of the surface of the first sidewall.
The size of the first opening 101 and the distance between the gate structure and the conductive contact plug may be equal.
In this embodiment, at least a portion of the contact etch stop layer 130 covering the surface of the first sidewall 120 may be selectively removed by a dry etching process, and the first sidewall 120 may be removed by a dry etching and wet etching combination process. For example, the material of the first sidewall spacers 120 may include silicon nitride, and the chemical solution of the wet etching process may include phosphoric acid.
In step S300, referring to fig. 2d specifically, the first sidewall 120 is removed along the first opening 101 to form a sidewall trench 102.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, a process of removing at least a portion of the contact etching blocking layer 130 covering the surface of the first sidewall 120 may be a wet etching process, and may also be a dry etching process, which is not specifically limited in the present invention.
In step S400, referring to fig. 2e specifically, a second sidewall 150 is formed and filled in the sidewall trench 102, and the dielectric constant of the second sidewall 150 is lower than that of the first sidewall 120.
The material of the second sidewall 150 and the material of the dielectric layer 140 may be the same, and for example, the material of the second sidewall 150 and the material of the dielectric layer 140 may be silicon dioxide.
In this embodiment, the value of the dielectric constant K of the second sidewall 150 may be 1< K <7, that is, the dielectric constant of the second sidewall 150 may be any low-K dielectric of dry air that is lower than the dielectric constant of the first sidewall 120 in the prior art and is higher than the dielectric constant of about 1. For example, an ultra-low dielectric constant material porous SICON with a dielectric constant of about 2 may be used. Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the material of the second sidewall 150 may include silicon dioxide and/or a low-K dielectric with a dielectric constant lower than 4.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first sidewall 120 with a high dielectric constant, for example, silicon nitride with a dielectric constant of about 7, on both sides of the gate structure 110 is converted into the second sidewall with a low dielectric constant and not being air, for example, silicon dioxide with a dielectric constant of about 4, so that the parasitic capacitance between the gate structure 110 and each source-drain conductive contact plug on the semiconductor substrate 100 is reduced, and the operating speed of the semiconductor device is further increased.
In step S500, referring to fig. 2f specifically, at least one source/drain contact hole (not shown) and at least one gate contact hole (not shown) are formed, where each source/drain contact hole penetrates through the dielectric layer 140 and the contact etching stopper 130, and exposes the top surface of the drain region D or the top surface of the source region S. Each gate contact hole penetrates through the dielectric layer 140 and the contact etch stop layer 130 and exposes the top surface of the gate structure 110. Because the depth of the gate contact hole is different from that of the source drain contact hole, the etching can be realized by successively carrying out photoetching and etching twice.
In step S600, as shown with continued reference to fig. 2f, each of the contact holes is filled with a conductive material to form a conductive contact plug 160. In this embodiment, the conductive material in the contact hole may include a metal material, such as metal tungsten. And forming a conductive contact plug on the top surface of the drain region D or the top surface of the source region S as a source-drain conductive plug, wherein the bottom surface of the conductive contact plug is electrically contacted with the top surface of the drain region D or the top surface of the source region S. The conductive contact plug formed on the top surface of the gate structure 110 is a gate contact plug, and the bottom surface of the conductive contact plug is electrically contacted with the top surface of the gate structure 110.
Based on the above-described forming method, the present embodiment also provides a semiconductor device, including:
the semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate 100, wherein a gate structure 110 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 100, and a drain region D and a source region S which are positioned at two sides of the gate structure 110 are also arranged in the semiconductor substrate 100;
a dielectric layer 140 formed on the semiconductor substrate 100 and surrounding the periphery of the sidewall spacer 150;
and each source-drain conductive contact plug 160 penetrates through the dielectric layer 140 and is electrically contacted with the top surface of the source region S or the top surface of the drain region D.
In summary, in the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device provided by the present invention, the sidewall 120 on both sides of the gate structure 110 is changed from the first sidewall having a high dielectric constant to the second sidewall 150 having a low dielectric constant and not being air, so that the parasitic capacitance between the gate structure 110 and the source-drain conductive contact plug 160 on the semiconductor substrate 100 is reduced, and meanwhile, the second sidewall 150 is still on the gate sidewall, thereby avoiding the problem that the gate sidewall cannot be protected when using an air sidewall, ensuring the stability of the gate structure, and further improving the operation speed and reliability of the semiconductor device.
