Abstract
A hafnium metal film prepared on a silicon substrate by utilizing magnetron sputtering, a method and application thereof. The method for preparing the hafnium metal film on the silicon substrate by utilizing magnetron sputtering comprises the following steps: loading the silicon substrate and the metal hafnium target material into a growth chamber of magnetron sputtering equipment, and carrying out ultrahigh vacuum high-temperature baking treatment on the silicon substrate; carrying out surface sputtering treatment on the silicon substrate by utilizing a magnetron sputtering reverse sputtering dry cleaning process; preparing a hafnium nitride barrier layer on a silicon substrate by utilizing a magnetron sputtering deposition process; preparing a hafnium metal film on the hafnium nitride barrier layer by utilizing a magnetron sputtering deposition process; and carrying out in-situ vacuum high-temperature annealing treatment on the metal hafnium film, and cooling to room temperature to complete the preparation of the metal hafnium film. The invention realizes the single preferred orientation high crystallization quality preparation of the metal hafnium film on the silicon substrate by utilizing the magnetron sputtering process. The prepared hafnium metal film can be applied to a conductive buffer layer material in the preparation of an ohmic contact metal electrode material or a silicon substrate gallium nitride material heteroepitaxy.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor and thin film material preparation, in particular to a metal hafnium thin film prepared on a silicon substrate by utilizing magnetron sputtering, a method and application.
Background
The transition refractory metals (including titanium (alpha-Ti), zirconium (alpha-Zr) and hafnium (alpha-Hf)) generally have a hexagonal crystal structure, and not only have good thermal and chemical stability, but also have good conductivity and irradiation resistance. In the technical field of semiconductors, particularly silicon-based device processes, transition group refractory metal thin film materials have extremely important application values. Such as: the preparation process of the alpha-Ti film by magnetron sputtering and electron beam evaporation is mature, and is an ohmic contact metal electrode material commonly used in the silicon-based microelectronic device process and the power electronic device process; the alpha-Zr and alpha-Hf thin films have lower resistance, have smaller lattice mismatch and thermal expansion coefficient difference with Si and GaN materials, and are more ideal n-type ohmic contact metal electrode materials in the processes of Si devices and GaN devices. In comparison, the abundance of metallic zirconium on earth is more abundant than that of metallic copper and titanium, and metallic hafnium is symbiotic with metallic zirconium, but the abundance is only 1% -2% of that of metallic zirconium. Although the price of the raw material of the metal hafnium with the same purity is not much different from that of the metal titanium, and the metal hafnium has smaller lattice mismatch and thermal expansion coefficient difference compared with the metal titanium or the metal zirconium and the silicon nitride, the preparation technology of the metal hafnium thin film material is not as mature as the metal titanium and the metal zirconium, and the metal titanium and the metal zirconium can not be replaced and widely applied in the technical field of semiconductors, particularly in the processes of silicon devices and gallium nitride devices.
At present, the chemical vapor deposition processes capable of realizing the preparation of the transition group refractory metal hafnium thin film material mainly include Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD), and the physical vapor deposition processes mainly include Ion Beam Epitaxy (IBE) and Magnetron sputtering (Magnetron Sputter). The ALD material has a slow growth speed, and can only grow amorphous or polycrystalline materials with poor crystallization quality due to low growth temperature although a high-purity metal zirconium film with a nanoscale thickness can be prepared. The MOCVD process for preparing and growing the alpha-Hf thin film is still in research and development, and no research result report exists for realizing the single preferred orientation high-crystalline quality growth of the alpha-Hf on the Si substrate. Ion Beam Epitaxy (IBE) process has been used by the semiconductor research institute of Chinese academy of sciences to realize highly single preferred orientation growth of d-Hf thin film, but the ion beam epitaxy process is not suitable for manufacturing devices by using the existing semiconductor device process because of its small film-forming area (2cm × 2 cm). The alpha-Hf thin film prepared by the related magnetron sputtering method cannot realize single preferred orientation and high crystal quality growth of the alpha-Hf thin film on the Si substrate.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the main object of the present invention is to provide a hafnium metal film prepared on a silicon substrate by magnetron sputtering, a method and applications thereof, which aim to at least partially solve at least one of the above mentioned technical problems.
In order to achieve the above object, as a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for preparing a hafnium metal thin film on a silicon substrate by magnetron sputtering, comprising: loading a silicon substrate and a metal hafnium target material into a growth chamber of magnetron sputtering equipment, and carrying out ultrahigh vacuum high-temperature baking treatment on the silicon substrate to remove gas adsorbed on the surface of the silicon substrate, residual impurities and an oxide layer; sputtering the surface of the silicon substrate by using a magnetron sputtering reverse sputtering dry cleaning process to remove impurities and an oxidation layer remained on the surface of the silicon substrate; preparing a hafnium nitride barrier layer on the silicon substrate by utilizing a magnetron sputtering process so as to prevent the surface of the silicon substrate from interfacial intermixing with a subsequently prepared hafnium metal film and realize the preparation and growth of the hafnium metal film; preparing a hafnium metal film on the hafnium nitride barrier layer by utilizing a magnetron sputtering deposition process; carrying out in-situ vacuum high-temperature annealing treatment on the hafnium metal film so as to further improve the crystallization quality of the hafnium metal film and reduce the stress of the hafnium metal film; and reducing the temperature of the metal hafnium film to room temperature to finish the preparation of the metal hafnium film sample.
As a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a hafnium metal thin film prepared by the above method.
As a third aspect of the invention, the invention also provides an application of the hafnium metal film in preparing a grown conductive buffer layer material in an ohmic contact electrode material or in a silicon substrate gallium nitride material heteroepitaxy.
According to the technical scheme, the metal hafnium film prepared on the silicon substrate by utilizing magnetron sputtering, the method and the application have one or part of the following beneficial effects:
(1) according to the method for preparing the metal hafnium film on the silicon substrate by utilizing magnetron sputtering, ultrahigh vacuum high-temperature baking and magnetron sputtering reverse sputtering dry cleaning are sequentially carried out on the silicon substrate in a growth chamber of magnetron sputtering equipment, so that residual impurities and an oxidation layer on the silicon substrate can be completely removed, and high-density nucleation and high-crystallization-quality film forming growth of the metal hafnium film are facilitated.
(2) According to the method for preparing the metal hafnium film on the silicon substrate by utilizing magnetron sputtering, a hafnium nitride barrier layer is formed on the silicon substrate. The hafnium nitride barrier layer with a certain thickness and good crystallization quality not only provides a good nucleating layer and a template layer for the high crystallization quality growth of the hafnium metal film, but also can avoid the phenomenon that the interface of the silicon substrate surface and the hafnium metal film is mixed to form a hafnium silicon alloy layer which is not beneficial to the high crystallization quality growth of the hafnium metal film due to the direct deposition of the hafnium metal film on the silicon substrate.
(3) The in-situ vacuum high-temperature annealing treatment of the prepared hafnium metal film is beneficial to relieving the crystal lattice damage and the introduced additional compressive stress which often occur in the film prepared by the magnetron sputtering process, further improves the crystallization quality of the hafnium metal film, reduces the film stress and is beneficial to the improvement of the film density and the surface flatness; the method relieves the large thermal mismatch stress accumulated on the film layer in the cooling process by controlling the proper cooling rate, and is more favorable for preparing the hafnium metal film with low stress and high crystallization quality.
