Detailed Description
As described in the background, the performance of the conventional back-end metal interconnection process and the semiconductor structure formed by the same still need to be improved. The analysis will now be described with reference to specific examples.
Fig. 1 to 3 are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating a semiconductor structure forming process according to an embodiment.
Referring to fig. 1, a substrate 100 is provided, the substrate 100 includes a first region I and a second region II; forming a first gate structure 101 on the first region I and a second gate structure 102 on the second region II; forming first source-drain doped regions 103 in the substrate on two sides of the first gate structure 101; forming second source-drain doped regions 104 in the substrate on two sides of the second gate structure 102; forming a dielectric structure 105 on the substrate, wherein the dielectric structure 105 is positioned on the side wall of the first gate structure 101 and the side wall of the second gate structure 102; forming a first opening 106 in the dielectric structure 105 on the first region I, where the first opening 106 exposes the surface of the first source-drain doped region 103; and forming a second opening 107 in the dielectric structure 105 on the second region II, wherein the second opening 107 exposes the surface of the second source-drain doped region 104.
Referring to fig. 2, a first isolation layer 108 is formed on sidewalls of the first opening 106; a second isolation layer 109 is formed on sidewalls of the second opening 107.
Referring to fig. 3, a mask layer 110 is formed on a substrate, wherein the mask layer 110 exposes a first region I; and performing ion implantation on the first source-drain doped region 103 by using the mask layer 110 as a mask.
In the method for forming the semiconductor structure, the first region I is used to form a PMOS device, the second region II is used to form an NMOS device, the first isolation layer 108 is used to increase electrical isolation between a conductive structure formed in the first opening 106 and the first gate structure 101, and the material of the first isolation layer 108 includes a dielectric material, and the dielectric material is typically silicon nitride. After the ion implantation, the ion concentration of the surface of the first source-drain doped region 103 is higher, and when a conductive structure electrically connected with the first source-drain doped region 103 is formed in the first opening 106, the contact resistance between the conductive structure and the first source-drain doped region 103 is reduced.
However, in forming the mask layer 110 exposing the first region I, steps of exposure, development and etching are required, after the ion implantation is performed on the first source-drain doped region 103, the mask layer 110 needs to be removed, so that after the first isolation layer 108 is subjected to the above-mentioned exposure, development, etching, removal and ion implantation processes, the first isolation layer 108 is easily oxidized into the modified isolation layer 111, therefore, the volume of the modified isolation layer 111 is increased, so that the size of the first opening 106 in the modified isolation layer 111 is reduced, and when a metal material is deposited in the first opening 106 to form a conductive structure, the metal material is difficult to fill the surface of the first source drain doped region 103, therefore, the contact area between the formed conductive structure and the first source-drain doped region 103 is small, and the conductive effect between the conductive structure and the first source-drain doped region 103 is further affected.
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the semiconductor structure: the first ion implantation is carried out on the first source-drain doped region, and then the second ion implantation is carried out on the first source-drain doped region. The first ion implantation process enables a certain amount of first ions to be on the surface of the initial isolation layer, and the first ions are not easily affected by the subsequent formation of a mask layer, the second ion implantation process for the first source drain doping area and the removal of the mask layer, so that after the mask layer is removed, the initial isolation layer is modified to have a smaller volume expansion degree, and therefore, when the first opening is filled with a material of a conductive structure subsequently, the filling effect is less affected, and the formed conductive structure is enabled to be in better contact with the first source drain doping area.

In other embodiments, the process of surface treating the initial isolation layer comprises a wet treatment process.
In other embodiments, the initial isolation layer can be left untreated.
Referring to fig. 10, after the surface treatment is performed on the initial isolation layer 208, the initial isolation layer is etched back until the surfaces of the first source-drain doped region 203 and the second source-drain doped region 204 are exposed, a first isolation layer 210 is formed in the first opening 206, and a second isolation layer 211 is formed in the second opening 207.
The first isolation layer 210 is used to increase electrical isolation between a first conductive structure subsequently formed in the first opening 206 and the first gate structure 201, and the second isolation layer 211 is used to increase electrical isolation between a second conductive structure subsequently formed in the second opening 207 and the second gate structure 202.
Referring to fig. 11, after forming a first isolation layer 210 and a second isolation layer 211, a first conductive structure 212 is formed in the first opening 206, the first conductive structure 212 is electrically connected to the first source/drain doped region 203, a second conductive structure 213 is formed in the second opening 207, and the second conductive structure 213 is electrically connected to the second source/drain doped region 204.
The method for forming the first conductive structure 212 and the second conductive structure 213 comprises the following steps: forming a layer of conductive material (not shown) within the first opening 206, within the second opening 207, and over the dielectric structure 205; the conductive material layer is planarized until the surface of the dielectric structure 205 is exposed, a first conductive structure 212 is formed in the first opening 206, and a second conductive structure 213 is formed in the second opening 207.
The process for forming the conductive material layer includes a chemical vapor deposition process, a physical vapor deposition process, or an atomic layer deposition process. In this embodiment, the process of forming the conductive material layer includes a chemical vapor deposition process.
Since the first ion implantation is performed on the first source-drain doped region 203 first, the surface of the initial isolation layer 208 has a certain amount of first ions due to the process of the first ion implantation, and the first ions are not easily affected by the formation of the mask layer 209, the second ion implantation process performed on the first source-drain doped region 203, and the removal of the mask layer 209, so that after the mask layer 209 is removed, the degree of volume expansion of the initial isolation layer 208 due to modification is small, and therefore when the first opening 206 is filled with a material of a conductive structure, the filling effect is less affected, and the first conductive structure 212 formed in the first opening 206 is better in contact with the first source-drain doped region 203.
After forming the first conductive structure 212 and the second conductive structure 213, the method further includes: annealing the first conductive structure 212 and the second conductive structure 213, and forming a metal silicide (not shown) between the first conductive structure 212 and the first source-drain doped region 203 and between the second conductive structure 213 and the second source-drain doped region 204, wherein the process for forming the metal silicide is a common technical means in the art and is not described herein again.
Although the present invention is disclosed above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
