图5、6、7、8、9、10、11、12和13是图示图1和2的部分制造的晶体管的横截面图,每一个都可能出现在图4的方法的特定步骤中。
具体实施方式
在图1的俯视平面图中图示了在沟槽中具有外延半导体条的新晶体管120。晶体管具有第一扩散类型(诸如N型)的源极122和漏极126扩散区域,其在第二扩散类型(诸如P型)半导体(诸如硅)的阱或基板127中。在替代的实施方案中,半导体是另一种IV族材料(诸如锗)、化合物半导体(诸如硅与碳或锗的合金)、或者III-V族半导体(诸如砷化镓,砷化镓铟)。晶体管120具有由导体(诸如多晶硅)直接在第二扩散类型的半导体条或填充物124上方形成的栅极,延伸至包括半导体条或填充物124的第一和第二侧130的栅极,并且栅极导体可以在重叠区域128中重叠晶体管。栅极导体材料可以在器件的其他部分上延伸129以用作互连。
在横截面中,新晶体管100是在第二导体类型的阱或基板104、127中切割的沟槽102内和顶部制造的。外延生长的半导体条106大致位于沟槽102的中心,沿其侧面有薄栅极绝缘体108。栅极导体110在半导体条106上形成,并在半导体条106的两侧面填充沟槽102的竖直栅极部分112。沟槽102的剩余部分填充有厚介质114,该厚介质114还在栅极导体110的重叠部分116和互连部分118下方延伸跨过阱或基板表面。
在特定的实施方案中,阱或基板104、127是P型硅,半导体填充物124是外延生长的P型硅,栅极绝缘体108是热生长的氧化硅,栅极导体材料130、110是多晶硅,并且当栅极导体材料130、110被适当加偏压时形成的反转区域是N型的,并且具有外延带124、106的晶体管作为N沟道金属氧化物半导体(MOS)晶体管操作。在该实施方案中,厚介质114是氧化硅,诸如热生长氧化物或CVD氧化物膜,但也可以使用其他介质。
当栅极导体110被适当加偏压时,沿着外延生长的半导体条106、124的顶部和侧壁形成反转区域,从而在有效栅极宽度为两倍于沟槽102的深度加上半导体条106、124的宽度的总和的情况下操作。
与现有MOS晶体管相比,在沟槽中具有外延半导体条的晶体管120具有优势,因为晶体管的有效栅极宽度可以大于使用相同表面积的半导体晶片制造的传统制造的平面晶体管的有效栅极宽度。
在一个实施方案中,具有外延条106的晶体管100在图像传感器集成电路中用作图像传感器的4-埋入型光电二极管像素单元200中的减小物理宽度的源极跟随器晶体管202(图3)、单元选择晶体管204和复位晶体管206。在该图像传感器像素单元中,光电二极管传输栅晶体管208、210、212、214可以是用于选择埋入型光电二极管216、218、220、222的竖直晶体管。
在一个实施方案中,图1和图2的具有外延条的晶体管100是根据图4的方法250制造的;注意,在方法250的步骤之前,需要在加工中的早期步骤来制备晶片,除了在此描述的步骤之外,还可以执行诸如清洁和光刻胶剥离之类的中间步骤,并且需要以下步骤来完成集成电路。
执行掩模和刻蚀操作252以将深度为50至400纳米的沟槽402(图5)刻蚀到阱或基板404中。除了光掩模材料的沉积、光掩模材料的曝光、光刻胶材料的显影、刻蚀和光刻胶的移除之外,本文所描述的掩模和刻蚀操作还可以包括沉积和移除硬掩模材料(诸如氮化硅SiN)。再平坦化操作,诸如化学机械抛光,还可以穿插在图4中记录的步骤之间。
在刻蚀沟槽402、102之后,然后在沟槽402中和周围将所形成的介质406衬于沟槽402、102中(图6)。在实施方案中,该介质是生长在围绕沟槽的半导体阱或基板上的热氧化物。
在形成介质254之后,沉积并流动255可流动的CVD材料407(图7)。在流动该氧化物之后,可流动的CVD材料可以被平坦化(图8)以使晶片表面平整,在未被介质406占据的每个沟槽内的空间402A留下可流动的CVD材料407。在一个实施方案中,可流动的CVD材料407是氮化硅或含有硅、氮和氢的膜。
一旦形成介质406和可流动的CVD材料407,就执行掩模和刻蚀操作256以在介质406和可流动的CVD材料407中形成内部窄沟槽408(图9),形成剩余的介质的形状406A(图9)和剩余的可流动CVD材料的形状407A以及在窄沟槽408的底部暴露基板或阱404。在内部沟槽408形成之后,在内部沟槽408的底部并在沟槽402内居中对准的半导体条410(图10)通过由阱或基板404引晶的外延生长258形成。在生长半导体条410之后,在移除259剩余的可流动材料407(图11)并在半导体条410上生长260栅氧化物412(图12)之前,可以任选地再平坦化正在形成的器件。
在栅氧化物412生长260之后,栅极导体414(图13)沉积262在栅氧化物412上并进入外延生长的半导体条410和介质406A之间的间隙,在一个实施方案中,栅极导体414是用钼硅化的多晶硅。
在沉积262栅极导体414之后,栅极导体被掩模和刻蚀264,以根据特定集成电路设计的需要用栅极区域130、124(图1)、重叠区域(如果有的话)128和延伸的互连区域129对该导体图案化。
在栅极导体414被掩模和刻蚀264之后,源极和漏极区域122、126被注入266,之后用传统的金属、通孔和接触沉积、掩模和刻蚀步骤完成268集成电路。
在实施方案中,在每个晶片上形成数十万或数百万个本文描述的横向竖直栅晶体管,每个数百万像素图像传感器的像素单元有一个或多个。
