Description

半导体器件及其形成方法
技术领域
本发明涉及半导体制造技术领域,尤其涉及一种半导体器件及其形成方法。
背景技术
电子工业不断地朝着更小和更快的电子器件需求发展,更小和更快的电子器件能够同时支持更多数量且越来越复杂的尖端功能。因此,半导体工业的持续趋势是制造低成本、高性能和低功率的集成电路(IC)。到目前为止,已经通过按比例缩小半导体IC尺寸(例如,最小特征尺寸(CD))从而提高生产效率以及降低相关成本,在很大程度上实现了这些目标。然而,这种按比例缩小也使半导体制造工艺的复杂度增加。因此,半导体IC和器件的持续进步需要半导体制造工艺和技术的同步进步。
栅极结构作为器件的一部分,其材料极大地影响了器件的性能。传统的多晶硅栅极工艺由于存在“多晶硅耗尽”效应,影响器件导通,所以引入了金属栅极,引入金属栅极之后,需要在金属栅极上形成互连金属层与外界形成电连接。
但是现有技术中形成栅极结构质量有待进一步提高。
发明内容
本发明解决的技术问题是提供一种半导体器件及其形成方法,使得栅极结构的形成质量得到提高,从而保证最终形成的半导体器件的质量得到提高。
为解决上述问题,本发明提供一种半导体器件,基底;栅极结构,位于所述基底上,包括第一区和第二区,所述第一区的栅极结构的长度大于所述第二区的栅极结构长度;停止层,位于所述基底上且位于所述第一区的栅极结构内。
可选的,所述停止层的数量为一个或者多个。
可选的,所述停止层的材料为氮化硅、氧化硅、氮氧化硅、碳氧化硅、碳氮化硅、碳氮氧化硅、碳氮硼化硅中的一种或多种组合。
相应的,本发明还提供一种半导体器件的形成方法:包括:提供基底,在所述基底上形成伪栅极结构,所述伪栅极结构包括第一区和第二区,所述第一区的伪栅极结构长度大于所述第二区的栅极结构长度;刻蚀所述第一区的部分伪栅极结构,在所述第一区的伪栅极结构内形成开口,所述开口的底部暴露出所述基底的表面;在所述开口内形成停止层,所述停止层填充满所述开口;去除所述伪栅极结构,在所述基底上形成栅极开口,在所述栅极开口内形成初始栅极结构;对所述初始栅极结构进行平坦化,至暴露出所述停止层的顶部表面,形成栅极结构。
可选的,所述开口的数量与所述停止层的数量相等。
可选的,所述开口的数量为一个,所述停止层的数量为一个或者所述开口的数量为多个,所述停止层的数量为多个。
可选的,所述停止层的材料为氮化硅、氧化硅、氮氧化硅、碳氧化硅、碳氮化硅、碳氮氧化硅、碳氮硼化硅中的一种或多种组合。
可选的,形成所述停止层的工艺为化学气相沉积工艺、原子层沉积工艺或者物理气相沉积工艺中的一种或者多种组合。
可选的,形成所述停止层的方法为:在所述伪栅极结构的顶部表面形成初始停止层;对所述初始停止层进行平坦化,至暴露出所述伪栅极结构的顶部表面。
可选的,所述栅极结构包括形成在所述基底上的栅介质层、形成所述栅介质层上的功函数层以及形成在所述功函数层上的金属层。
与现有技术相比,本发明的技术方案具有以下优点:
在本发明的结构中,由于停止层的存在,一方面停止层将第一区的栅极结构进行分割,实现第一区的栅极结构的切断(gate cut);另外一方面,在栅极结构的形成过程中,所述停止层作为所述栅极结构在形成过程中的停止标记,这样可以避免栅极结构在形成的过程中损失过多,从而提高栅极结构的形成质量。
在基底上形成伪栅极结构,伪栅极结构包括第一区和第二区,其中第一区的伪栅极结构长度大于第二区的栅极结构长度,通过刻蚀第一区的部分伪栅极结构,在第一区的伪栅极结构内形成开口,开口的底部暴露出基底的表面,在开口内形成停止层,停止层填充满开口,去除伪栅极结构,形成栅极开口,在栅极开口内形成初始栅极结构,平坦化初始栅极结构至暴露出停止层的顶部表面,从而形成栅极结构,这种方法形成的栅极结构质量好,能够保证最终形成的半导体器件的质量高,这是因为在平坦化初始栅极结构的过程中,由于停止层的存在,当平坦化的过程中暴露出停止层的顶部表面时,平坦化的过程就不能再继续进行,这就减少了栅极结构损耗,保证了形成的栅极结构的质量得到提高,从而保证最终形成的半导体器件的质量得到提高。
附图说明
图1至图12是一种半导体器件形成过程中各步骤的结构示意图;
图13至图27是本发明半导体器件及其形成方法一实施例各步骤结构示意图。
具体实施方式
现有技术中在栅极结构平坦化的过程中,损耗的较多,使得形成的栅极结构的质量差,阈值电压不稳定,影响半导体器件的使用性能。以下将结合附图进行具体说明。
图1至图12是一种半导体器件的形成过程中各步骤结构示意图。
请参考图1至图3,图1是图2和图3的俯视图,图2是图1在剖线A-A的剖面图;图3是图1在剖线B-B的剖面图。一种半导体器件的形成步骤包括:提供基底100,所述基底100包括衬底101、位于所述衬底101上的若干分立排布的鳍部110、所述鳍部110包括稀疏区111和密集区112,稀疏区111的相邻鳍部之间的距离大于密集区112的相邻鳍部之间的距离。
还包括,在所述衬底101上形成隔离层102,所述隔离层102覆盖所述鳍部110根部的部分侧壁。
请参考图4和图5,在所述衬底101上形成伪栅极结构,所述伪栅极结构横跨所述鳍部110。
图4是在图2基础上的示意图;图5是在图3基础上的示意图。
所述伪栅极结构包括伪栅极介质层103和位于伪栅极介质层103上的伪栅极电极层104。
所述伪栅极介质层103位于所述鳍部110的顶部和侧壁上,同时位于所述隔离层102的顶部表面。
所述伪栅极电极层104位于所述伪栅极介质层103上。
所述伪栅极结构的侧壁上还形成有侧墙107。
所述伪栅极结构包括第一区105和第二区106,所述第一区105的伪栅极结构长度大于所述第二区106的伪栅极结构长度。
所述伪栅极结构长度是指:垂直于鳍部的延伸方向,横跨相邻鳍部之间的伪栅极结构距离。
请参考图6,在所述伪栅极结构两侧的所述鳍部110内形成源漏掺杂层120。
图6的视图方向与图4的视图方向相同。
请参考图7,在所述源漏掺杂层120以及所述侧墙107的侧壁上形成层间介质层130,所述层间介质层130的顶部表面与所述伪栅极结构的顶部表面齐平。
图7是在图6基础上的示意图。
请参考图8至图10,图11和图12,去除所述伪栅极结构,形成栅极开口(图中未标出),在所述栅极开口内形成初始栅极结构,平坦化所述初始栅极结构在所述栅极开口内形成栅极结构140,所述栅极结构包括栅极介质层141、功函数层142和金属层143。
图10是图8和图9的俯视图;图8是图10在A-A的剖面图;图9是图10在B-B的剖面图;图11是图10在C-C的剖面图;图12是图10在D-D的剖面图。
发明人发现,对比图8和图11,对比图9和图12,这种方法形成的半导体器件,在初始栅极结构的平坦化形成栅极结构的过程中,初始栅极结构中间部分损耗较多,边缘部分损耗极少,对于栅极结构长度较长的第一区而言,在初始栅极结构平坦化的过程中,初始栅极结构中间会损耗的更多,在形成栅极结构时导致第一区的栅极结构中的功函数层容易暴露出来,甚至会暴露出第一区的鳍部,这就对功函数层和鳍部表面造成损伤,导致阈值电压不稳定,这就降低了最终形成的半导体器件的使用性能。
发明人研究发现:在去除伪栅极结构之前,在第一区的伪栅极结构内形成停止层,这样在去除伪栅极结构形成初始栅极结构,对初始栅极结构进行平坦化的过程中,停止层作为平坦化过程中的停止标记,当暴露出停止层的顶部表面时,就不再对初始栅极结构进行进一步平坦化,减少了第一区的栅极结构的损耗,从而避免损伤到最终在第一区形成的栅极结构的性能,使得最终形成的半导体器件的性能得到增强。
为使本发明的上述目的、特征和优点能够更为明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施例做详细地说明。
