Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to semiconductor manufacturing technology, and more particularly, to a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same.
Background
With the development of information technology, the amount of stored information has increased dramatically. The increase in the amount of stored information has prompted the rapid development of memory, while also placing higher demands on the stability of memory.
Basic static memory (Static Random Access Memory, SRAM) relies on six transistors that constitute two cross-coupled inverters. Each inverter includes: a pull-up transistor, a pull-down transistor, and an access transistor.
In order to obtain sufficient anti-disturb capability and read stability, the transistor used to form the memory may be a channel gate-all-around (GAA) structure transistor. The volume of the channel gate surrounding structure transistor serving as a channel region is increased, so that the working current of the channel gate surrounding structure transistor is further increased, and the application of the channel gate surrounding structure transistor in a memory can improve the data storage stability and the integration level of the memory.
However, the performance of the semiconductor device constituted by the existing static memory has yet to be improved.

Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the invention has the following beneficial effects:
In the semiconductor structure provided by the technical scheme of the invention, the side wall of the first source drain opening at one side or two sides is provided with the groove, the groove exposes one or a plurality of surfaces of the side wall of the first nanowire, the side wall of the first nanowire where the groove is positioned is sunken relative to the side wall of the first nanowire at the bottom of the groove, and meanwhile, the side wall of the groove is exposed by the first source drain opening. The first source-drain doping layer is arranged in the first source-drain opening, and the isolation structure is arranged in the groove, namely, the isolation structure is arranged between the first source-drain doping layer and the first nanowire, so that the isolation structure can effectively isolate the first source-drain doping layer from the first nanowire, one or a plurality of first nanowires cannot play a role in providing channels between the first source-drain doping layers, and the number of channels in the semiconductor device can be changed.
Further, the second nanowires on the second region can all serve to provide channels between the second source-drain doped layers, so that the number of channels used for forming semiconductor devices on the first region is smaller than that of channels used for forming semiconductor devices on the second region, that is, the semiconductor devices on the first region and the second region contain different channel numbers, thereby being capable of meeting specific process requirements.
In the method for forming the semiconductor structure provided by the technical scheme of the invention, the grooves are formed on the side wall of one side or two sides of the first initial nanowire on the first region by etching the one or a plurality of first initial nanowires; and forming first source and drain openings at two sides of the extending direction of the first fin structure, wherein the side walls of the first source and drain openings expose the grooves, and the side walls of the first nanowires where the grooves are positioned are sunken relative to the side walls of the first nanowires at the bottoms of the grooves. By forming the isolation structure in the groove, the isolation structure is located between one or a plurality of first nanowires and the first source-drain openings, and the isolation structure can effectively isolate the first source-drain doping layers formed in the first source-drain openings and the first nanowires, so that one or a plurality of first nanowires cannot play a role in providing channels between the first source-drain doping layers, and the number of channels in the semiconductor device can be changed.
