In this embodiment, the dielectric layer 212 covers the source-drain doping layer 211 and the sidewall of the dummy gate structure, and exposes the top surface of the dummy gate structure.

In this embodiment, the aspect ratio of the contact hole 213 is 5; when the aspect ratio of the contact hole 213 is smaller than 5, the feature size of the contact hole 213 is too large, which may result in too large parasitic capacitance from the contact hole 213 to a subsequently formed gate structure and may easily form a short circuit with the gate structure); when the aspect ratio of the contact hole 213 is greater than 60, the metal layer is difficult to fill when filling the metal layer in the contact hole 213, which increases the process difficulty.
In this embodiment, the contact hole 213 extends into the substrate 200 at the bottom of the source-drain doping layer 211, so that the formed contact hole 213 has a deeper depth, and thus when a silicide layer and a conductive layer are formed in the contact hole 213 in the following process, because the contact area between the source-drain doping layer 211 and the conductive layer is increased, the contact resistance between the source-drain doping layer 211 and the conductive layer is reduced, the thermal effect of the semiconductor device in the use process is reduced, and the use performance of the semiconductor device is enhanced.

In this embodiment, the thickness of the protection layer 214 is 2nm to 8nm; when the thickness of the protection layer 214 is less than 2nm, the protection layer 214 cannot effectively control and prevent the leakage current between the metal contact hole and the substrate; when the thickness of the protective layer 214 is greater than 8nm, this reduces the amount of conductive layer that can be filled in the contact hole 213, resulting in higher resistance.
In this embodiment, the thickness of the protective layer 214 is in a direction extending along the normal direction of the surface of the substrate 200.
Referring to fig. 15, a sacrificial layer 215 is formed on the protection layer 214 at the bottom of the contact hole 213, and the sacrificial layer 215 covers a portion of the protection layer 214 on the sidewall of the contact hole 213.

In this embodiment, the sacrificial layer 215 is formed by a spin coating process.
In this embodiment, the top surface of the sacrificial layer 215 is lower than or equal to the bottom surface of the second fin layer 202 at the bottom layer.
Referring to fig. 16, the protection layer 214 uncovered by the sacrificial layer 215 is removed.
In this embodiment, the method for removing the uncovered protective layer 214 by etching is a dry etching process; in other embodiments, a wet etching process may be used to remove the protection layer 214.
In this embodiment, since the protection layer 214 on the bottom and part of the sidewall of the contact hole 213 is covered by the sacrificial layer 215, it is not etched away in the etching process, which provides a preparation for subsequently isolating the substrate 200 from the silicide layer, and prevents the leakage phenomenon between the silicide layer and the substrate.
Referring to fig. 17, the sacrificial layer 215 is removed.
In this embodiment, the process of removing the sacrificial layer 215 is an ashing process; in other embodiments, the sacrificial layer 215 may be removed by an etching process.
In this embodiment, the material of the sacrificial layer 215 is a bottom anti-reflective coating material, so that when the sacrificial layer 215 is removed, the protective layer 214 at the bottom is not damaged.
Referring to fig. 18, a silicide layer 216 is formed on the protection layer 214 at the bottom of the contact hole 213.
Before the conductive layer is formed in the contact hole 213, a silicide layer is formed at the bottom of the contact hole 213, so that the lower series resistance, the delay of the contact resistance and the operation speed of the circuit can be improved.
In this embodiment, before forming the silicide layer, the protective layer 214 is formed on the bottom and a part of the sidewall of the contact hole 213, and the protective layer 214 is used to isolate the substrate 200 from the silicide layer formed subsequently, thereby effectively preventing the leakage between the substrate 200 and the silicide layer and improving the reliability of the performance of the semiconductor device.
Referring to fig. 19, the contact hole 213 is filled with a conductive layer 217.
In this embodiment, the conductive layer 217 is made of tungsten; in other embodiments, the material of the conductive layer 217 may also be copper, titanium, or the like.
In this embodiment, the conductive layer 217 is used to electrically connect the transistor to an overlying metal layer.
Accordingly, the present invention also provides a semiconductor device comprising: a substrate 200; the fin structure is positioned on the substrate 200 and comprises a plurality of first correction fin layers 208 which are overlapped along the surface normal direction of the substrate 200 and a second fin layer 202 positioned between two adjacent first correction fin layers 208; a dummy gate structure on the substrate and spanning the fin structure, the dummy gate structure comprising: a gate dielectric layer 203 located on the fin structure, a dummy gate layer 204 located on the gate dielectric layer 203, a hard mask layer 205 located on the dummy gate layer 204, and a sidewall 206 located on the sidewall of the dummy gate layer 204 and the hard mask layer 205; the groove 207 is positioned in the fin portion structures on two sides of the dummy gate structure, and the bottom of the groove is exposed out of the substrate 200; fin recesses 209 on both sides of the first modified fin layer 208; inner sidewalls 210 located on both sides of the first modified fin portion layer 208 and filling the fin portion grooves 209; the source-drain doping layer 211 is positioned on the substrate 200; a dielectric layer 212, which is located on the source-drain doping layer 211 and has a top surface flush with the top surface of the hard mask layer 205; the contact holes 213 are positioned in the dielectric layer 212, the source-drain doping layer 211 at the bottom of the dielectric layer 212 and the substrate 200 at the bottom of the source-drain doping layer 211; a protective layer 214 on the bottom and a portion of the sidewall of the contact hole 213; a silicide layer 216 on the cap layer 214; a conductive layer 217 is located over the silicide layer 216 and fills the contact hole 213.
In this embodiment, the material of the protection layer 214 is silicon nitride; in other embodiments, the protective layer 214 is silicon oxynitride or silicon carbonitride or boron doped silicon carbonitride.
In this embodiment, the bottom of the contact hole 213 extends into the substrate 200, so that the depth of the formed contact hole 213 is increased, the contact area between the source-drain doping layer 211 and the conductive layer 217 is increased, and the contact resistance between the source-drain doping layer 211 and the conductive layer 217 is reduced, thereby increasing the operation speed of the finally formed semiconductor device, reducing the heating effect, and enhancing the use performance of the semiconductor device.
In this embodiment, the thickness of the protection layer 214 is in a range from 2nm to 8nm, and when the thickness of the protection layer 214 is less than 2nm, the protection layer 214 cannot effectively control and prevent the leakage current between the metal contact hole and the substrate; when the thickness of the protective layer 214 is greater than 8nm, this reduces the amount of conductive layer that can be filled in the contact hole 213, resulting in higher resistance.
In this embodiment, the protection layer 214 is used to isolate the substrate 200 from the silicide layer 216, so as to prevent a leakage phenomenon between the substrate 200 and the silicide layer 216, and improve the performance of the semiconductor device.
In this embodiment, the depth ratio of the contact hole is 5 to 60, and when the aspect ratio of the contact hole 213 is smaller than 5; when the aspect ratio of the contact hole 213 is greater than 60, the metal layer is difficult to fill when filling the metal layer in the contact hole 213, which increases the difficulty of the process.
