Referring to fig. 3 to 5, in step S200, a channel column 30 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 10.
Further, before forming the channel column 30, a first semiconductor layer 20 is also formed on the semiconductor substrate 10; after the channel pillar 30 is formed, the channel pillar 30 is located on the first semiconductor layer 20.

The first semiconductor layer 20 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 10 by epitaxial growth, so that the first semiconductor layer 20 and the semiconductor substrate 10 have good bonding performance, thereby reducing series resistance and improving driving current.
The material of the first semiconductor layer 20 is a conductive ion doped monocrystalline silicon or a conductive ion doped silicon germanium, and the conductive ions are P-type or N-type. The first semiconductor layer 20 is formed at the bottom of a channel pillar to be formed later, and serves as a source region or a drain region of the mosfet.
Further, the in-situ doping may be performed while the first semiconductor layer 20 is epitaxially grown. Further, ion implantation may be performed after the first semiconductor layer 20 is formed, so as to dope the first semiconductor layer 20 with conductive ions.
After the channel pillar 30 is formed, the channel pillar 30 is located on a portion of the first semiconductor layer 20. The channel is in the channel column, and carriers migrate in the axial direction (vertical direction) of the channel column.
Forming the channel column 30 on the semiconductor substrate 10 includes the steps of:
referring to fig. 3, in step S201, a channel pillar material layer 30A is formed on the semiconductor substrate 10.
Specifically, the material of the channel pillar material layer 30A may be single crystal silicon. In the present embodiment, the channel pillar material layer 30A is used to form the channel pillar 30 having a pillar structure in a subsequent process. In an alternative implementation, a mask material layer 30B is further formed above the channel pillar material layer 30A, and is used as a mask in a subsequent etching process and to protect a subsequently formed channel pillar. The material of the mask material layer 30B may be silicon nitride (Si)3N4)。
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, in step S202, a partial region of the channel pillar material layer 30A is etched to expose the first semiconductor layer 20, so as to form a plurality of mutually separated channel pillars 30.
Specifically, the channel pillar 30 has a mask layer 30b on top. The channel pillar material layer 30A is patterned by a photolithography process to form a channel pillar 30. The concrete mode is as follows: forming a photoresist pattern on the mask layer 30B, and transferring the photoresist pattern to the mask material layer 30B to form a patterned mask layer 30B; the channel pillar material layer 30A not covered by the mask layer 30b is then etched.
Specifically, an etching process may be used in which the etching rate of the channel pillar material layer 30A is greater than that of the first semiconductor layer. Further, a dry etching process or a wet etching process may be used, and further, the channel pillar material layer 30a is etched by using an anisotropic etching process.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the structure formed after step S200. Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line XX of fig. 4. As shown in fig. 5, the channel pillar 30 has a width in a cross section along line XX of 5 nm to 20 nm. The pitch of each of the channel pillars 30 is 25 nm to 50 nm. The channel of the mosfet is formed in the channel pillar 30.
The method further comprises the following steps: before the subsequent isolation layer is formed, etching the first semiconductor layer between the adjacent channel columns to enable the first semiconductor layers around the channel columns to be mutually separated; in this case, the subsequently formed isolation layer also fills in the space between the first semiconductor layers around the adjacent channel pillars 30.
Or, the first semiconductor layer is not etched, and a plurality of metal oxide field effect transistors sharing the source region are formed.
Referring to fig. 6, in step S300, an isolation layer covering sidewalls of a portion of the channel pillar is formed on the semiconductor substrate at sides of the channel pillar. The top surface of the isolation layer 40 is lower than the top surface of the channel pillar 30.
Further, the isolation layer 40 is formed on the first semiconductor layer 20 at the side of the channel pillar 30.
The isolation layer 40 serves to isolate adjacent channel pillars 30. The material of the isolation layer 40 may be silicon oxide (SiO)2) Silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride (SiON), low K dielectric materials (dielectric constant greater than or equal to 2.5 and less than 3.9), or ultra low K dielectric materials (dielectric constant less than 2.5).
Specifically, an isolation material layer covering the trench pillar 30 is formed first, and the isolation material layer is planarized by a chemical mechanical polishing process. The isolation material layer is etched back until the upper surface of the isolation material layer is lower than the upper surface of the trench pillar 30 to form an isolation layer 40. In an alternative implementation, the spacer layer 40 is formed to a thickness of 500 to 3000 angstroms.
The method of forming the isolation material layer may be Chemical Vapor Deposition, such as Low Temperature Chemical Vapor Deposition (LTCVD), Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (PCVD), Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD), Rapid Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition (RTCVD), Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), and Fluid Chemical Vapor Deposition (FCVD).
Referring to fig. 7 and 8, a gate stack layer 50a and a first dielectric layer 60 are formed on the isolation layer 40, the gate stack layer 50a covers sidewalls of the channel pillar 30, and the first dielectric layer 60 covers the gate stack layer 50 a.
In an alternative implementation, the gate stack layer 50a includes a gate dielectric material layer 51a, a work function material layer 52a, and a gate electrode material layer 53a stacked in this order. The gate dielectric material layer 51a, the work function material layer 52a and the gate electrode material layer 53a are sequentially stacked on the sidewall and the top end of the channel pillar from inside to outside, that is, the gate dielectric material layer 51a is in a thin film structure wrapping the sidewall and the top end of the channel pillar 30, the work function material layer 52a wraps the gate dielectric material layer 51a, and the gate electrode material layer 53a wraps the work function material layer 52 a. The subsequently formed gate structure is located on the sidewall of the channel pillar 30, and the stacking direction of the gate dielectric material layer 51a, the work function material layer 52a and the gate electrode material layer 53a on the sidewall of the channel pillar 30 is along the horizontal direction. The feature size of the subsequently formed gate structure is the height along the channel pillar. Therefore, increasing the feature size of the gate structure does not take up space in the horizontal direction, and the integration of the semiconductor device can be improved.
The gate dielectric material layer 51a may be a dielectric material having a dielectric constant greater than 3.9, 7.0, or 10.0. For example, an oxide, nitride, oxynitride, silicate (e.g., metal silicate), aluminate, titanate, nitride, or any combination thereof. The gate dielectric material layer 51a may also be a high-K dielectric material, which includes: hafnium oxide (HfO)2) Lanthanum oxide (La)2O3) Zirconium oxide (ZrO)2) Tantalum oxide (Ta)2O5) Titanium oxide (TiO)2) Barium strontium titanate (Ba)1-xSrxTiO3BST), barium titanium oxide (BaTiO)3) Strontium titanium oxide (SrTiO)3) Yttrium oxide (Y)2O3) Alumina (Al)2O3) At least one of (1). In this embodiment, the material of the gate dielectric material layer 51a is a high-K dielectric material, specifically, hafnium oxide.
The gate dielectric layer 51a functions to isolate the work-function material layer 52a from the channel pillar 30. And protects the channel post 30 during a subsequent etching process.
To form the gate dielectric material layer 51a by a suitable deposition process such as chemical vapor deposition, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), evaporation, physical vapor deposition, chemical solution deposition, or other similar process. The thickness of the gate dielectric material layer 51a may vary depending on the deposition process and the composition and amount of high-K dielectric material used.
The work function material layer 52a may be disposed over the gate dielectric material layer 51 a. The work function material layer 52a is used to adjust the threshold voltage of the formed transistor. The material of the work function material layer 52a depends on the type of transistor and may vary between nFET and pFET devices. Non-limiting examples of suitable work function metals include P-type work function metal materials and N-type work function metal materials. The P-type work function material includes a composition such as ruthenium, palladium, platinum, cobalt, nickel, and a conductive metal oxide, or any combination thereof. N-type metallic materials include compositions such as hafnium, zirconium, titanium, tantalum, aluminum, metal carbides (e.g., hafnium carbide, zirconium carbide, titanium carbide, and aluminum carbide), aluminides, or any combination thereof. The workfunction metal may be deposited by a suitable deposition process such as chemical vapor deposition, electroplating, thermal or electron beam evaporation and sputtering.
The material of the gate electrode material layer 53a may include aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti), cobalt (Co), thallium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), tungsten (W), tungsten silicide (WSi)2) Titanium nitride (TiN) and thallium nitride (TI)3N), in the present embodiment, the material of the gate electrode material layer 53a is tungsten (W).
Each gate stack layer 50a is discrete. Specifically, a photolithography process is used to remove a portion of the work function material layer 52a and a portion of the gate electrode material layer 53a between the channel pillars, so that the gate stack layers 50a are electrically isolated from each other. In an alternative implementation, the gate electrode material layer 53a covers the isolation layer 40 on one side of the channel pillar 30, so as to facilitate the electrical connection of a subsequently formed third connection structure with the gate structure.
Specifically, referring to fig. 8, forming the first dielectric layer 60 includes the steps of:
step S501, forming a first dielectric material layer, where the first dielectric material layer is formed above the isolation layer 40 and covers the gate stack layer 50 a.
Specifically, the first dielectric material layer is formed by using a chemical vapor deposition process or the like. The material of the first dielectric material layer can be silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride or the like.
Step S502, the first dielectric material layer is planarized until the surface of the gate stack layer on the top of the channel pillar 30 is exposed.
Specifically, a chemical mechanical polishing process is used for carrying out planarization treatment on the first dielectric material layer.
The first dielectric layer 60 is used as a mask for etching the gate stack layer 50a in a subsequent process. The material of the first dielectric layer 60 may be silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or the like. The material of the first dielectric layer 60 is silicon oxide in this embodiment.
In other embodiments, it may also be: the first dielectric material layer is planarized until the mask layer 30b on top of the channel pillar 30 is exposed or the top surface of the channel pillar 30 is exposed.
Referring to fig. 9, in step S500, the gate stack layer 50a on the sidewall of the top region of the channel pillar 30 is etched to form a gate structure 50, and a trench 60a on the gate structure 50 is formed between the first dielectric layer 60 and the channel pillar 30.
Specifically, the gate stack layer 50a is etched to a predetermined height using the first dielectric layer 60 as a mask.
Specifically, a higher etching rate for the work function material layer 52a and the gate electrode material layer 53a than for the gate dielectric material layer 51a and the first dielectric layer 60 may be used. In an alternative implementation, a dry etching process is used with boron trichloride (BCl)3) As an etching gas, the work function material layer 52a and the gate electrode material layer 53a are etched such that the top surface of the gate structure 50 is lower than the top surface of the channel pillar 30. Specifically, the top surface of the gate structure 50 is 500 to 3000 angstroms below the top surface of the channel pillar 30.
In this step, the gate dielectric layer 51 is substantially unchanged with respect to the gate dielectric material layer 51a to ensure the isolation effect of the gate dielectric layer 51 from the gate electrode layer 53 and the channel pillar 30, thereby avoiding a short circuit. In other embodiments, after etching to remove the gate stack material layer 50a not covered by the first dielectric layer 60, the work function layer 52, the gate electrode layer 53 and the gate dielectric layer 51 are flush with each other on top surfaces.
The top surface of the gate structure 50 is defined by the top surfaces of the work function layer 52 and the gate electrode layer 53.
In this embodiment, the gate structure 50 wraps the sidewall of the channel pillar 30, and the contact area between the gate structure 50 and the channel pillar 30 is relatively large, so that the control capability of the gate structure 50 can be improved, and the problem of short channel effect and the like caused by the reduction of the gate pitch size can be avoided.
Referring to fig. 10, in step S600, a second dielectric layer 70 is formed in the trench 60 a.
The material of the second dielectric layer 70 may be silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or the like. The material of the second dielectric layer 70 in this embodiment is silicon oxide. The second dielectric layer 70 serves to isolate the gate structure 50 from a subsequently formed second semiconductor layer.
The formation process of the second dielectric layer 70 may be a chemical vapor deposition process, such as a low temperature chemical vapor deposition, a plasma chemical vapor deposition process, a low pressure chemical vapor deposition, a rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition, a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and a fluid chemical vapor deposition process. In the present embodiment, the second dielectric layer 70 is formed by a fluid chemical vapor deposition process.
Specifically, a second dielectric material layer is formed in the groove 60a formed in the gate stack structure etched and removed in step S500 and on the first dielectric layer, and then the second dielectric material layer higher than the mask layer 30b is removed by grinding using a chemical mechanical grinding process to form the second dielectric layer 70.
In this embodiment, in the process of grinding and removing the second dielectric material layer higher than the mask layer 30b, the gate dielectric layer 51 above the mask layer 30b is ground and removed until the top surface of the mask layer 30b is exposed.
The material of the mask layer 30b is different from the materials of the first dielectric layer 60 and the second dielectric layer 70, respectively.
Referring to fig. 11 and 12, after forming the second dielectric layer 70, a second semiconductor layer 80 is formed on top of the channel pillar 30 in step S700.
Referring to fig. 11, in the present embodiment, the mask layer 30b is removed before the second semiconductor layer 80 is formed.
Because the mask layer 30b and the channel layer 30a are made of different materials, the mask layer 30b is etched by using an etching process having a high etching ratio to the channel layer 30a, so that the etching depth can be accurately controlled, and the etching loss of the channel layer 30a is avoided. Meanwhile, the materials of the mask layer 30b and the second dielectric layer 70 are also different, so that the second dielectric layer 70 is prevented from being etched to be damaged, and the gate structure 50 and the second semiconductor layer 80 can be well isolated. And the relative positions of the gate structures of the finally formed transistors and the second semiconductor layer 80 are also made to have good consistency. The reliability of the semiconductor device can be improved.
In this step, the mask layer 30b is removed by a dry etching process, and the etching gas used may be fluoromethane (CH)3F) Difluoromethane (CH)2F2) And trifluoromethane (CHF)3) And oxygen is mixed and used as an auxiliary gas in the etching gas. The flow rate of the etching gas is in the range of 20 ml/min to 50 ml/min.
Referring to fig. 12, after forming the second dielectric layer, the second semiconductor layer 80 is formed on the top of the channel pillar 30 by using an epitaxial growth process, and conductive ions are doped in situ during the formation of the second semiconductor layer 80. Further, after the mask layer 30b is removed, the second semiconductor layer 80 is formed by using an epitaxial growth process.
The second semiconductor layer 80 serves as another source region or drain region of the mosfet. The material of the second semiconductor layer 80 is monocrystalline silicon doped with conductive ions or silicon germanium doped with conductive ions, and the conductive ions are P-type or N-type. The material of the second semiconductor layer 80 is the same as the doping type of the material of the first semiconductor layer 20.
Specifically, the second semiconductor layer 80 is formed on the channel layer 30a using an epitaxial growth process. In-situ doping is performed during the epitaxial growth to dope the P-type impurity or the N-type impurity in the second semiconductor layer 80. Further, ion implantation may be performed after the first semiconductor layer 20 is formed, so as to dope the first semiconductor layer 20 with conductive ions.
By forming the second semiconductor layer 80 on top of the channel pillar 30 in this step, the shape and doping concentration of the second semiconductor layer 80 can be well controlled. Because the distance between the second semiconductor layer and the channel column is very close, the short channel effect is easy to form, and the embodiment of the invention can avoid the charge concentration caused by the poor shape (such as a sharp corner and the like) of the second semiconductor layer by controlling the good outline of the second semiconductor layer, further avoid the formation of the short channel effect and avoid source-drain breakdown.
