With the increasing number of layers, the delay effect caused in the read-write process becomes more and more obvious because the transmission distance is longer and the resistance is increased. In order to reduce the hysteresis effect, a step region is designed at the middle position of the chip by the 3DNAND with a higher layer number, and the hysteresis effect is correspondingly reduced due to the reduction of the current transmission path.

The technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, and not restrictive of the full scope of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various components, these components should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first element could be termed a second element, and, similarly, a second element could be termed a first element, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "on," "connected to" another element, it can be directly on or connected to the other element or intervening elements may also be present. Other words used to describe the relationship between components should be interpreted in a similar manner.
As used herein, the term "semiconductor device" refers to a semiconductor device having a vertically oriented array structure on a laterally oriented substrate such that the array structure extends in a vertical direction relative to the substrate. As used herein, the term "first lateral direction" refers to a direction parallel to the substrate, denoted by "X"; the direction perpendicular to "X" is denoted by "Y" in the drawings, and the direction perpendicular to the substrate is denoted by "Z" in the drawings.
It should be noted that the drawings provided in the embodiments of the present invention are only for illustrating the basic idea of the present invention, and although the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of the components in the actual implementation can be changed freely, and the layout of the components may be more complicated.
Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 is a schematic top view of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device at a-a1 in fig. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The semiconductor device includes a substrate 10 and a stack 20 on the substrate 10, the stack 20 being formed by alternately laminating insulating layers 201 and conductor layers 202. The stack 20 comprises an array region 21 and a step region 22 adjacent to said array region 21 in a first lateral direction (X) parallel to the substrate 10.
In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of array regions 21 and a step region 22 located between two adjacent array regions 21, and the step region 22 has at least one step structure 221 in the X direction, and only two array regions 21 and the step region 22 located between two array regions 21 are shown in the figure.
In the present embodiment, the stepped region 22 has two step structures 221 opposing in the X direction. Since the step structure 221 of the stepped region 22 in fig. 2 is not a regular stair structure, the structure is complicated, and the specific structure of the filling layer 222 of the stepped region 22 is not shown. As shown in fig. 2, a very deep trench is formed between two opposite step structures 221, where filling is most difficult, and therefore the following description focuses on the specific structure of the filling layer 222 of the step region 22 at B-B1 in fig. 2.
In some embodiments, it is also possible that the step region 22 is located at the edge of the substrate 10 and the array region 21 is located in the middle of the substrate 10. In the case that the step region 22 of the present embodiment is located in the middle, one array region 21 and one step structure 221 may be arranged at intervals, and the number of the step structures 221 of the step region 22 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
It should be noted that, in fig. 1, the step region 22 does not extend in the Y direction, but the etching is not performed at the edge in the Y direction, that is, the step region 22 does not include edges at both sides, so that the step structure 221 shown in fig. 2 is not formed at the edge position. Therefore, the cross section at B-B1 in fig. 2 is also a stacked structure of the insulating layer 201 and the conductor layer 202 on both sides in the Y direction.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a semiconductor device provided in the embodiment of the invention at B-B1 in fig. 2. The semiconductor device further includes a first oxide layer 40 covering the step structure 221, a second oxide layer 50 located on the surface of the first oxide layer 40, a third oxide layer 60 located on the surface of the second oxide layer 50, wherein the third oxide layer 60 is made of the same material as the first oxide layer 40, and a fourth oxide layer 70 located on the surface of the third oxide layer 60, and the fourth oxide layer 70 is made of the same material as the second oxide layer 50.
Preferably, the thickness of the second oxide layer 50 is greater than that of the first oxide layer 40, the thickness of the fourth oxide layer 70 is greater than that of the third oxide layer 60, and the surface of the fourth oxide layer 70 is at least flush with the surface of the stack 20 of the array region 21, i.e. completely fills the step region 22.
Preferably, the first oxide layer 40 and the third oxide layer 60 may include a High Density Plasma oxide (HDP OX) formed by a High Density Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (HDPCVD), and the second oxide layer 50 and the fourth oxide layer 70 may include tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) formed by a Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), wherein the thickness of the High Density Plasma oxide is less than that of the tetraethyl orthosilicate.
Because the high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition has higher cost, but the high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition has good pore filling capability, the obtained high-density plasma oxide has higher compactness and higher stress. In the embodiment, the thickness of the first oxide layer 40 is in the range of 300-500nm, which not only ensures the uniformity of the upper and lower thickness in the deep hole, but also reduces the usage amount of the high-density plasma oxide, thereby reducing the stress and improving the wafer warpage without affecting the filling.
In the present embodiment, the second oxide layer 50 has a first opening 51 that is enlarged upward at the top of the step structure 221. The third oxide layer 60 on the upper surface of the second oxide layer 50 also has a second opening 61 that is enlarged upward. The first opening 51 and the second opening 61 are formed by an etching process to ensure that no gap is formed in the recess and to facilitate deposition of the upper layer.
The semiconductor device provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises a substrate 10 and a stack 20, wherein the stack 20 comprises an array region 21 and a step region 22 adjacent to the array region 21, the step region 22 has at least one step structure 221, and a first oxide layer 40 covering the step structure 221, a second oxide layer 50 located on the surface of the first oxide layer 40, a third oxide layer 60 located on the surface of the second oxide layer 50, and a fourth oxide layer 70 located on the surface of the third oxide layer 60, wherein the third oxide layer 60 and the first oxide layer 40 are made of the same material, and the fourth oxide layer 70 and the second oxide layer 50 are made of the same material. The filling layer is formed by circularly depositing the two materials, so that the filling effect can be ensured, the using amount of the first oxidation layer 40 and the third oxidation layer 60 can be reduced, and the warping condition of the wafer can be improved.
Referring to fig. 4 and fig. 5a to 5c, fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 5a to 5c are schematic structural diagrams of the semiconductor device according to the embodiment of the present invention during a manufacturing process. The manufacturing method may be used for manufacturing the above semiconductor device, and thus the structure numbers of the above semiconductor device are continued, the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device includes steps S1-S6.
Please refer to steps S1-S2 in fig. 4 and fig. 2 first.
Step S1: a substrate 10 is provided.
In the present embodiment, the substrate 10 is a semiconductor substrate, and may be, for example, Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Silicon Germanium (SiGe), Silicon On Insulator (SOI), Germanium On Insulator (GOI), or the like. In some embodiments, the semiconductor substrate may also be a substrate including other element semiconductors or compound semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, or silicon carbide; but also a stacked structure such as silicon, silicon germanium, etc.
Step S2: a stack of alternating layers of insulating layers 201 and sacrificial layers is formed on the substrate 10, the stack comprising an array region 21 and a step region 22 adjacent to the array region 21 in a first lateral direction (X) parallel to the substrate 10, the step region 22 having at least one step structure 221 in the first lateral direction (X).
In this embodiment, the insulating layer 201 may be a dielectric material such as silicon oxide, hafnium oxide, aluminum oxide, or tantalum oxide, and the sacrificial layer may be silicon nitride or other conductive material. The insulating layer 201 and the sacrificial layer have different etch selectivity. The sacrificial layer is removed in a subsequent process and replaced with a conductive layer 202 as shown in fig. 2 at a corresponding location. The Deposition methods of the insulating Layer 201 and the sacrificial Layer can be, but not limited to, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), or High Density Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (HDPCVD).
With continuing reference to step S3 in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5a, FIG. 5a shows a schematic cross-sectional view at the deepest portion B-B1 of the step structure 221.
Step S3: a first oxide layer 40 is formed covering the step structure 221.
Preferably, the first oxide layer 40 is a high density plasma oxide, and a thin layer of the high density plasma oxide with a thickness of 300nm to 50nm can be deposited by a high density plasma chemical vapor deposition process. Because of the strong hole-filling capability of the HDP-CVD process, the thickness of the material that can be deposited in the deep hole is uniform, and some corners of the stepped region 22 can be rounded without generating gaps. In addition, compared with the step region 22 which is completely filled by the high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition process, the amount of the high-density plasma oxide can be reduced, so that the cost is saved, the stress can be reduced, and the wafer warping condition is further reduced. Wherein the material of the high density plasma oxide may be SiO2。
Please refer to step S4 in fig. 4 and fig. 5a-5 b.
Step S4: a second oxide layer 50 is formed on the surface of the first oxide layer 40.
Preferably, the second oxide layer 50 is tetraethyl orthosilicate. The ethyl orthosilicate may be deposited using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process, the thickness of the ethyl orthosilicate being about 3-4 μm. In some embodiments, other lower cost deposition processes may be used to form the second oxide layer 50, such as chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, physical vapor deposition, and the like, as mentioned above.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 5a, the tetraethoxysilane 50' is deposited, and then the second oxide layer 50 is formed (as shown in fig. 5 b) by performing an etching process when no pinch-off or void occurs, so that the generation of a gap is avoided, and the first opening 51 which is enlarged upward is formed to facilitate a subsequent deposition process.
Please refer to step S5 in fig. 4 and fig. 5 c.
Step S5: and forming a third oxide layer 60 on the surface of the second oxide layer 50, wherein the third oxide layer 60 is made of the same material as the first oxide layer 40.
In the present embodiment, the third oxide layer 60 is formed repeatedly by using the high density plasma chemical vapor deposition process, and the thickness is about 2-4 μm. The third oxide layer 60 is made of the same material as the first oxide layer 40 and is also a high density plasma oxide. The most significant advantage of the high density plasma chemical vapor deposition method is deep hole filling, and in the semiconductor industry, the deposition etching ratio is generally adopted as an index for the filling capacity of a balanced high density plasma chemical vapor deposition process. By controlling the deposition etch ratio at the corners, it is desirable to keep the top of the corners open throughout the deposition process to allow reactants to enter the recesses and fill from the bottom. That is, by controlling the deposition-etch ratio to 1, the hole-filling capability is maximized and the second opening 61 is formed to be enlarged upward as shown in fig. 5 c.
