Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to a manufacturing method of an MOS transistor and the MOS transistor.
Background
The existing gate oxide process is to directly grow an oxide layer on a silicon substrate, but because the gate oxide thickness of a medium-voltage MOS tube is thicker, the medium-voltage gate oxide grown according to the existing process is higher than that of a normal-voltage device, and after a dielectric layer zero chemical mechanical grinding process, the residual height of a pseudo gate in a medium-voltage device area is lower, which affects the formation of a metal gate and enables the metal gate in the medium-voltage device area to be thinner. Because the total area of the medium-voltage device is small, under the limit condition, after the zero chemical mechanical grinding process of the electric layer, the false gate of the medium-voltage device area is completely ground, a metal gate cannot be formed, and the yield and the reliability of a product are further damaged.
Introduction to the substrate prior to entering the IOX cycle as shown in fig. 9, the STI oxide covering the corners of the midgate oxide has a width of 118.9 angstroms and a height of 105.3 angstroms. This portion of the oxide will block the etching of the underlying silicon, resulting in silicon protrusions at the corners, as shown in fig. 10. During the growth of the medium voltage gate oxide, the silicon at the corners of the medium voltage gate oxide is difficult to be completely oxidized, and finally a cat-ear defect is formed (as shown in fig. 11), which causes the corners of the medium voltage gate oxide to be thinner and easy to break down after voltage is applied.
