Description

SRAM (static random Access memory), forming method thereof and electronic device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technologies, and in particular, to an SRAM, a method for forming the same, and an electronic device.
Background
Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), an important memory device, is widely used in digital and communication circuit design, and is widely used for data storage due to its advantages of low power consumption, fast reading speed, etc.
In the Field of semiconductor integrated circuit devices, Field Effect Transistors (FETs), abbreviated as FETs, have been the main semiconductor devices used to manufacture products such as application specific integrated circuit chips, Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) chips, and the like.
The semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC) industry has experienced rapid growth. In the course of IC evolution, the functional density (i.e., the number of interconnected devices per chip area) has generally increased, while the geometry (i.e., the smallest component or line that can be made using a fabrication process) has decreased. This scaling down process generally provides benefits by increasing production efficiency and reducing associated costs. Such scaling down has also increased the complexity of processing and manufacturing ICs, and similar developments in semiconductor manufacturing are required to achieve such advances.
For example, as the semiconductor industry has progressed to nanotechnology processing nodes pursuing higher device densities, higher performance, and lower costs, challenges from both fabrication and design have led to the development of fin field effect transistor (FinFET) devices. For example, the FinFET device may be a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) device, including a P-type metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) FinFET device and an N-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) FinFET device. CMOS technology is widely used for a variety of circuit designs. Accordingly, it is desirable to have improvements in the fabrication of CMOS FinFET semiconductor structures.

For example, such a device may be a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) device including a P-type metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) FinFET device and an N-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) FinFET device. The following disclosure will continue to employ the CMOS FinFET example to illustrate various embodiments of the present application. It should be understood, however, that the present application is not limited to a particular type of device, except as specifically claimed.
In the present invention, the SRAM is a CMOS FinFET device. The CMOS FinFET devices include NMOS FinFET devices and PMOS FinFET devices. The FinFET device may be included in a microprocessor, memory cell, and/or other integrated circuit device. For the purpose of clarity and to better understand the inventive concepts of the present invention, the drawings have been simplified. Additional features may be added to the CMOS FinFET device, and some of the features described below may be replaced or removed in other embodiments of the CMOS FinFET device.
In order to solve the foregoing technical problem, the present invention provides a method for forming an SRAM, as shown in fig. 1, which mainly includes the following steps:
step S101, providing a substrate;
in particular, the semiconductor substrate is a bulk silicon substrate, which may be at least one of the materials mentioned below: si, Ge, SiGe, SiC, SiGeC, InAs, GaAs, InP, InGaAs, or other III/V compound semiconductors, as well as multilayer structures of these semiconductors, or silicon-on-insulator (SOI), silicon-on-insulator (SSOI), silicon-on-insulator-stacked germanium (S-SiGeOI), silicon-on-insulator-germanium (SiGeOI), and germanium-on-insulator (GeOI), and the like.
Step S102, forming an NMOS device area containing a first semiconductor material and a PMOS device area containing a second semiconductor material on the substrate, wherein the first semiconductor material is SiP, and the second semiconductor material is SiGe;
specifically, substrate 210 forms the base of the SRAM. The NMOS device region 220 is composed of SiP, the PMOS device region 230 is composed of SiGe, and the PMOS device region 230 is disposed on one side of the NMOS device region 220.
Step S103, forming a fin structure including a first fin and a second fin, wherein the first fin is formed in the NMOS device region, and the second fin is formed in the PMOS device region.
In particular, the first and second fins have a height of 30 to 100 nm. The fin structure (including the plurality of fins 212a-212d) is formed by any suitable process, such as a photolithography process and an etching process. For example, in the present embodiment, the fin structure is formed by: depositing a hybrid resist layer on the NMOS device region and the PMOS device region; patterning the resist to form gaps in the mixed resist layer; performing an etch to form the fin structure in the NMOS device region and the PMOS device region.
In some embodiments, the fin structure is formed by: the method includes exposing the photoresist layer to a pattern, performing a post-exposure bake process, and developing the photoresist layer to form a mask element including the photoresist layer and a mask layer. The photoresist layer patterning may comprise the following process steps: photoresist coating, soft baking, mask alignment, pattern exposure, post exposure baking, photoresist development, and hard baking. In some embodiments, patterning may also be performed or replaced by other suitable methods, such as maskless lithography, e-beam writing, ion-beam writing, and molecular imprinting. The mask elements (including the photoresist layer and the mask layer) may then be used in an etching process to etch the fin structure into the substrate 210. The etch process uses a patterned masking layer to define the etched areas and to protect other areas of the cmos finfet device. In some embodiments, the etching process comprises a wet etching process, a dry etching process, or a combination thereof. The fin structure may be formed by an etching process using a plasma etch and/or other suitable processes. In one example, hydrofluoric acid (HF) or buffered hydrofluoric acid solution (buffered HF) is used to etch the dielectric layer to expose the substrate 210 according to a pattern defined by the mask layer. In another example, the dry etch process used to etch substrate 210 includes a fluorine gas containing chemistry. In yet another example, the dry etch chemistry includes CF4, SF6, or NF 3. Optionally, the fin structure is formed by a Double Patterning Lithography (DPL) process. DPL is a method of constructing a pattern on a substrate by dividing the pattern into two interleaved patterns. DPL allows for increased component (e.g., fin) density. Various DPL methods that may be used include double exposure (e.g., using two mask sets).
In particular, it is noted that the method of forming the first fin and the second fin is merely exemplary and not limited to the above method.
In one example, various well structures are also formed in the semiconductor substrate, such as an N-type well formed in the PMOS device region and a P-type well formed in the NMOS device region.
Fig. 2 is a structural diagram of an SRAM provided in an embodiment of the present invention at the beginning. Bulk substrate 210 forms the base of the semiconductor structure. The bulk substrate 210 may be composed of any of several known semiconductor materials, such as Si, Ge, SiGe, SiC, SiGeC, InAs, GaAs, InP, InGaAs, or other III/V compound semiconductors. In an embodiment, NMOS device region 220 is comprised of SiP, PMOS device region 230 is comprised of SiGe, and PMOS device region 230 is disposed on one side of NMOS device region 220. Fig. 3 is a semiconductor structure according to an embodiment of the invention after a subsequent processing step of fin formation. As shown in fig. 3, the finally formed SRAM includes a fin structure composed of a first fin (212a and 212b) and a second fin (212c and 212d), wherein the first fin is formed in the NMOS device region, and the second fin is formed in the PMOS device region. The first and second fins have a height of 30 to 100 nm. Specifically, the formed SRAM has a 6T structure including 4 NMOS transistors and 2 PMOS transistors.
The present invention also provides an electronic device including an SRAM manufactured according to the method of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The electronic device may be any electronic product or device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a netbook, a game machine, a television, a VCD, a DVD, a navigator, a camera, a video camera, a recording pen, an MP3, an MP4, a PSP, and the like, and may also be any intermediate product including the SRAM. The electronic device has better performance due to the use of the SRAM.
