Because the silicon layer is a monoatomic layer and the silicon germanium layer is grown on the surface of the silicon layer by utilizing an epitaxial growth technology, the silicon germanium layer can be orderly grown on the surface of the silicon layer so as to obtain a high-quality silicon germanium layer, and further, the channel current is improved. In this embodiment, the silicon-germanium layer may be formed by using silane and germane as a gas source and an Ultra High Vacuum Chemical Vapor Deposition (UHVCVD) process at a temperature of 500 to 600 ℃ and a pressure of less than 1 mTorr. The silane can be, for example, monosilane (SiH)4) Disilane (Si)2H4) The germane may be, for example, geremane (GeH-4). In specific application, the proportion of Si and Ge in the silicon-germanium layer can be adjusted by adjusting the flow of silane and/or germane, so that the Si and the Ge can be mixed and dissolved in any proportion, the energy band can be adjusted, and the electrical property of the device can be adjusted. For example, can be adjustedThe flow rate of silane is adjusted, or the flow rate of germane is adjusted, or the flow rates of silane and germane are adjusted simultaneously. Subsequently, a filling layer filled with an insulating material, such as silicon oxide, may be formed between the channel layers 235.
In this embodiment, the gate line gap is formed in the stacked layer, for example, the stacked layer may be etched by using a reactive ion etching method, so that the gate line gap exposing the substrate is formed in the stacked layer. After the gate line gap is formed, the sacrificial layer 222 in the stacked layer is removed through the gate line gap, the sacrificial layer 222 may be selectively corroded by an acid solution having a high selection ratio to the sacrificial layer 222 and the insulating layer 221, and after the sacrificial layer 222 is removed, a gate layer is formed by filling a metal in an area of the original sacrificial layer, where the filled metal may be tungsten or other metal that may be used as a gate. The Gate layers in the stack layer may include a Gate layer of the memory cell and a Gate layer of the select Gate, and the select Gate may include a Source Selection Gate (SSG) and/or a Drain Selection Gate (DSG). In a specific embodiment, a high-K gate dielectric layer material may be deposited prior to metal filling, thereby forming a high-K gate dielectric layer between the insulating layer 221 and the gate layer.
And then, other processing processes of the device, such as a common source process, a gate line gap filling process and the like, can be completed.
