Detailed Description
As known from the background art, the current semiconductor structure has the problem of low carrier mobility.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a semiconductor structure including a substrate; the first IGZO layer is positioned on the substrate and comprises a channel region and source-drain doped regions positioned on two opposite sides of the channel region; the second IGZO layer is at least positioned on the channel region, doped ions are arranged in the second IGZO layer, and the number of oxygen vacancies in the second IGZO layer is smaller than that in the first IGZO layer; the first gate electrode is located on a surface of the second IGZO layer remote from the substrate. The second IGZO layer can better isolate the first IGZO layer from the first grid electrode, so that electron loss in the first IGZO layer can be effectively reduced, and carrier mobility in the semiconductor structure can be improved.
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more apparent, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that in the various embodiments of the present disclosure, numerous technical details have been set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present disclosure. However, the technical solutions claimed in the present disclosure can be implemented without these technical details and with various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1, a semiconductor structure includes: a substrate 100; the first IGZO layer 110, the first IGZO layer 110 being located on the substrate 100, the first IGZO layer 110 including a channel region 111 and source-drain doped regions 112 located at opposite sides of the channel region 111; a second IGZO layer 120, the second IGZO layer 120 being at least on the channel region 111, the second IGZO layer 120 having dopant ions therein, the number of oxygen vacancies in the second IGZO layer 120 being less than the number of oxygen vacancies in the first IGZO layer 110; the first gate electrode 130, the first gate electrode 130 is located on a surface of the second IGZO layer 120 remote from the substrate 100.
In some embodiments, the material of the substrate 100 may include single crystal silicon (Si), single crystal germanium (Ge), or silicon germanium (GeSi), silicon carbide (SiC); silicon On Insulator (SOI), germanium On Insulator (GOI); or may also be a glass substrate or other material such as a III-V compound such as gallium arsenide. In the disclosed embodiment, the material of the base 100 may be in single crystal silicon (Si) or a glass substrate.
The first IGZO layer 110 and the second IGZO layer 120 each contain indium, gallium and zinc, and IGZO is a novel semiconductor material. The use of IGZO material in the first IGZO layer 110 in the semiconductor structure as a channel of the semiconductor structure may improve the performance of the semiconductor structure. Compared with a channel made of amorphous silicon, the carrier mobility of the channel layer made of the IGZO material is 20-30 times that of the channel layer made of the amorphous silicon material, and the charge and discharge rate of the semiconductor structure can be improved by the IGZO layer, so that the energy efficiency of the semiconductor structure is improved.
In some embodiments, the indium ion concentration in the first IGZO layer 110 may be greater than the indium ion concentration in the second IGZO layer 120. Wherein the concentration of indium ions refers to the percentage of the number of indium ions in the film layer to the total number of atoms in the film layer. The concentration of indium ions in the second IGZO layer 120 is the concentration of indium ions in the general IGZO material. The concentration of indium ions in the first IGZO layer 110 is greater than the concentration of indium ions in the second IGZO layer 120, i.e., the concentration of indium ions in the first IGZO layer 110 is greater than the concentration of indium ions in the conventional IGZO material. The higher indium ion concentration may enable the first IGZO layer 110 to have higher conductive properties relative to a general IGZO material. In the semiconductor structure provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first IGZO layer 110 has a channel region, and setting the first IGZO layer 110 to have a higher indium ion concentration may make the conductivity of the first IGZO layer 110 better, so that the conductivity of the channel region of the semiconductor structure is better, and the conductivity of the semiconductor structure can be improved.
In some embodiments, the concentration of indium ions in the first IGZO layer 110 may be 5% -15%. For example, the concentration of indium ions may be 5%, 10%, 15%, or the like. If the concentration of indium ions in the first IGZO layer 110 is too low, it may be difficult to better improve the conductivity of the first IGZO layer 110; if the concentration of indium ions in the first IGZO layer 110 is too high, the manufacturing cost of the semiconductor structure is increased, resulting in some waste. Therefore, the concentration of the indium ions in the first IGZO layer 110 needs to be in a proper range, and when the concentration of the indium ions in the first IGZO layer 110 is 5-15%, the effect of better improving the conductivity of the first IGZO layer 110 can be achieved, waste can be reduced, and cost can be reduced.
The source/drain doped region 112 is doped, wherein if N-type doping is required, N-type ions, such as nitrogen ions, phosphorus ions, etc., may be implanted. If P-type doping is required, P-type ions, such as boron ions, aluminum ions, etc., may be implanted.
In some embodiments, the doping particles of the doping ions in the second IGZO layer 120 may be nitrogen-containing particles. The nitrogen-containing particles may occupy a portion of oxygen vacancies in the second IGZO layer 120, so that the oxygen vacancies in the second IGZO layer 120 are reduced, the interface state density of the second IGZO layer 120 is reduced, and the stability of the second IGZO layer 120 can be improved. The second IGZO layer 120 with higher stability is located between the first IGZO layer 110 and the first gate 130, which can play a better role in blocking, effectively reduce the electron loss in the first IGZO layer 110, and improve the carrier concentration in the first IGZO layer 110, thereby improving the carrier mobility in the first IGZO layer 110.
In some embodiments, the material of the first gate 130 may include one or more of polysilicon or tungsten.
With continued reference to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the second IGZO layer 120 may be located only on the channel region 111. The second IGZO layer 120 may function to isolate the first IGZO layer 110 from the first gate electrode 130 when it is only on the channel region. In addition, at this time, the source-drain doped regions 112 are only located at two sides of the channel region 111 in the first IGZO layer 110, where the channel region 111 in the first IGZO layer 110 is a region with a higher carrier concentration, a higher carrier mobility and a better conductivity, and if the source-drain doped regions 112 are only in contact with the channel region 111 in the first IGZO layer 110, the mobility of the semiconductor structure can be further improved, and the interference to the channel region 111 in the first IGZO layer 110 can be reduced.
Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, if the second IGZO layer 120 is only located on the channel region 111, the semiconductor structure may further include: and a sidewall structure 140, the sidewall structure 140 being on a side surface of the first IGZO layer 110 remote from the substrate 100, and the sidewall structure 140 covering a side surface of the first gate electrode 130 and a side surface of the second IGZO layer 120. When the second IGZO layer 120 is only on the channel region 111, the second IGZO layer 120 may be flush with sidewalls of the first gate electrode 130. The sidewall structure 140 may protect the first gate 130 and the second IGZO layer 120, and the material of the sidewall structure 140 may include silicon oxide or silicon nitride. The sidewall structure 140 may include one or more sidewalls. If the sidewall structure 140 includes a multi-layer sidewall, the sidewall structure 140 may include a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the first sidewall covers a side surface of the first gate 130 and a side surface of the second IGZO layer 120, and the second sidewall covers a side surface of the first gate, where a material of the first sidewall may include silicon oxide, and a material of the second sidewall may include silicon nitride.
Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the second IGZO layer 120 may also be located at opposite sides of the channel region 111, and the source-drain doped region 112 may also be located within the second IGZO layer 120. The second IGZO layer 120 covers the entire area of the surface of the first IGZO layer 110 remote from the substrate 100. The sidewall 140 is located on the surface of the second IGZO layer 120 away from the substrate 100, and the sidewall 140 covers only the surface of the first gate 130. The second IGZO layer 120 is also located at opposite sides of the channel region 111 to reduce the process steps of patterning the second IGZO layer 120, thereby enabling the process flow to be simplified.
Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the semiconductor structure may further include a first gate oxide layer 131. The first gate oxide layer 131 is located between the first gate electrode 130 and the second IGZO layer 120. The material of the first gate oxide layer 131 may include silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, or the like. The arrangement of the first gate oxide layer 131 can improve the electron conduction performance of the semiconductor structure, so that electrons can be conducted in the semiconductor structure more smoothly, the first gate oxide layer 131 can also control current, prevent overheat or short circuit of a device caused by overlarge current, form a charge channel, be used for controlling the flow of electrons in the device, improve the stability of the device, improve the efficiency of the device, and protect the device from environmental factors to a certain extent. In addition, the first gate oxide layer 131 has a certain surface activity, and can be used as a surface active layer in the semiconductor structure to receive or place other substances. The sidewall structure 140 is located on a surface of the second IGZO layer 120 remote from the substrate 100, and the sidewall structure 140 covers a side of the first gate oxide layer 131 and a side of the first gate electrode 130.
Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, the semiconductor structure may further include: the second gate 150, the second gate 150 is located in the substrate 100, on a side of the first IGZO layer 110 away from the second IGZO layer 120, and opposite to the channel region 111. The second gate 150 shares the channel region 111 and the source-drain doped region 112 in the first IGZO layer 110 and the second IGZO layer 120 with the first gate 130, and the use of two gates in the semiconductor structure can improve the power, reduce the resistance, reduce the on-resistance, improve the thermal stability, and improve the performance of the semiconductor structure from various aspects. The material of the second gate 150 may include one or more of polysilicon or tungsten.
Referring to fig. 5 to 6, in some embodiments, the semiconductor structure may further include a second gate oxide layer 151, the second gate oxide layer 151 being located at least between the first IGZO layer 110 and the second gate 150. The material of the second gate oxide layer 151 may include silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, or the like.
In some embodiments, the semiconductor structure may further include a protection layer 170, where the protection layer 170 is located on a surface of the first IGZO layer 110 near the substrate 100, the protection layer 170 covers at least a side surface of the second gate 150, and the protection layer 170 can protect the second gate 150. The material of the protective layer 170 may include silicon nitride.
Referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, the second gate oxide layer 151 may cover a surface of the first IGZO layer 110 remote from the second IGZO layer 120, and the protective layer 170 is on a surface of the second gate oxide layer 151 close to the substrate 100. Since the second gate 150 cannot make contact with the substrate 100, an insulating process is required, and in some embodiments, the semiconductor structure may further include an insulating layer 160, where the insulating layer 160 is located on a surface of the substrate 100, and the second gate 150 and the protective layer 170 are located on a surface of the insulating layer 160 away from the substrate 100. The thickness of the protective layer 170 may be greater than or equal to the thickness of the second gate electrode 150, and the second gate oxide layer 151 is located on a surface of the protective layer 170 remote from the substrate 100. The material of the insulating layer 160 may include silicon oxide.
Referring to fig. 6, in some embodiments, the second gate oxide 151 may further surround the second gate 150, the protective layer 170 is located on the surface of the substrate 100, and the protective layer 170 covers the sides of the second gate oxide 151. The first IGZO layer 110 is located on the surface of the second gate oxide layer 151 and the protective layer 170 remote from the substrate 100. Since the second gate oxide layer 151 between the second gate electrode 150 and the substrate 100 may already serve to insulate the second gate electrode 150 from the substrate 100, the insulating layer 160 does not need to be added.
In some embodiments, the semiconductor structure may further include: the doped region 113, the doped region 113 is doped with hydrogen ions, the doped region 113 is at least located in the first IGZO layer 110, and the doped region 113 is located between the source-drain doped region 112 and the channel region 111. If the second IGZO layer 120 is also located at opposite sides of the channel region 111, the doped region 113 may also be located within the second IGZO layer 120. The H ions in the doped region 113 occupy the original oxygen atoms in the first IGZO layer 110, so that oxygen atoms overflow from the first IGZO layer 110 to form oxygen vacancies, and the number of oxygen vacancies in the first IGZO layer 110 increases. The oxygen vacancies may act as transport orbitals for carriers when the semiconductor structure is in operation, and an increase in the number of oxygen vacancies may result in an increase in carrier mobility in the first IGZO layer 110. That is, the doped region 113 can further improve carrier mobility in the semiconductor structure.
With continued reference to fig. 6, in some embodiments, the protection layer 170 is located on the surface of the substrate 100, and the protection layer 170 covers the side surface of the second gate oxide layer 151, where at least the surface of the protection layer 170 away from the substrate 100 may be in contact with the doped region 113, and where the surface of the protection layer 170 away from the substrate 100 may also be in contact with the source-drain doped region 112 and part of the channel region 111. The material of the protective layer 170 may be silicon nitride. Since the material of the protective layer 170 does not contain oxygen, when the hydrogen ions doped in the doped region 113 occupy the original oxygen atoms in the first IGZO layer 110, the oxygen atoms in the first IGZO layer 110 can diffuse into the protective layer 170 more easily, and more oxygen vacancies can be generated in the first IGZO layer 110, so that the effect of improving the carrier mobility of the semiconductor structure in the doped region 113 can be enhanced.
Referring to fig. 7-8, in some embodiments, the semiconductor structure may further include: and a third IGZO layer 180, the third IGZO layer 180 being located at least between the channel region 111 and the second gate electrode 150, and the third IGZO layer 180 having doping ions therein, the number of oxygen vacancies in the third IGZO layer 180 being smaller than the number of oxygen vacancies in the first IGZO layer 110. Because the distance between the first IGZO layer 110 and the second gate 150 is relatively short, electrons in the first IGZO layer 110 may have a certain loss, and the third IGZO layer 180 is located between the first IGZO layer 110 and the second gate 150, so that the effect of blocking the first IGZO layer 110 and the second gate 150 can be achieved, the electron loss in the first IGZO layer 110 is reduced, the carrier concentration in the first IGZO layer 110 is improved, and the carrier mobility in the first IGZO layer 110 is improved. In some embodiments, the doping particles of the doping ions in the third IGZO layer 180 may be nitrogen-containing particles, so that the barrier effect of the third IGZO layer 180 is better.
Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the third IGZO layer 180 may be located only between the first IGZO layer 110 and the second gate electrode 150, and the protective layer 170 may also cover sides of the third IGZO layer 180. Since the protective layer 170 has high mechanical strength, when the protective layer 170 covers the side of the third IGZO layer 180, it is possible to provide a strong support for the semiconductor structure, so that the stability of the semiconductor structure can be improved.
Referring to fig. 8, in some embodiments, the third IGZO layer 180 may also be located at opposite sides of the channel region 111, and the source drain doped region 112 may also be located within the third IGZO layer 180. The third IGZO layer 180 covers the entire area of the surface of the first IGZO layer 110 near the substrate 100, which can reduce the process steps of patterning the protective layer 170 and simplify the process flow. At this time, the doped region 113 may also be located in the third IGZO layer 180, and the doped region 113 is still in contact with the protective layer 170.
The embodiment of the disclosure provides a semiconductor structure, which comprises: a substrate; the first IGZO layer is positioned on the substrate and comprises a channel region and source-drain doped regions positioned on two opposite sides of the channel region; the second IGZO layer is at least positioned on the channel region, doped ions are arranged in the second IGZO layer, and the number of oxygen vacancies in the second IGZO layer is smaller than that in the first IGZO layer; the first gate electrode is located on a surface of the second IGZO layer remote from the substrate. The second IGZO layer can better isolate the first IGZO layer from the first grid electrode, so that electron loss in the first IGZO layer can be effectively reduced, carrier concentration in the first IGZO layer is improved, and carrier mobility in the semiconductor structure can be improved.
Accordingly, another embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure, which may be used to form the semiconductor structure. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure according to another embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the same or corresponding parts as those of the previous embodiment may be referred to for the corresponding description of the previous embodiment, which will not be described in detail.
Referring to fig. 9, a substrate 100 is provided.
In some embodiments, the material of the substrate 100 may include single crystal silicon (Si), single crystal germanium (Ge), or silicon germanium (GeSi), silicon carbide (SiC); silicon On Insulator (SOI), germanium On Insulator (GOI); or may also be a glass substrate or other material such as a III-V compound such as gallium arsenide. In the disclosed embodiment, the material of the base 100 may be in single crystal silicon (Si) or a glass substrate.
Referring to fig. 10 or 11, a second gate electrode 150, a protective layer 170, and a second gate oxide layer 151 are formed. The material of the second gate electrode 150 may include one or more of polysilicon or tungsten, the material of the protective layer 170 may include silicon nitride, and the material of the second gate oxide layer 151 may include silicon oxide.
Referring to fig. 10, since an insulation process is required between the second gate electrode 150 and the substrate 100, an insulation layer 160 may be further formed before forming the second gate electrode 150, the protection layer 170, and the second gate oxide layer 151, and a material of the insulation layer 160 may include silicon nitride. An insulating layer 160 is located on the surface of the substrate 100. After the insulating layer 160 is formed, the second gate 150 may be formed, and the second gate 150 is located on a surface of the insulating layer 160 remote from the substrate 100. The protection layer 170 is formed, the protection layer 170 and the second gate 150 together cover the entire surface of the insulating layer 160 away from the substrate 100, and the protection layer 170 covers the side surface of the second gate 150, and the thickness of the protection layer 170 may be greater than or equal to the thickness of the second gate 150, that is, the top surface of the protection layer 170 may cover the top surface of the second gate 150 or be flush with the top surface of the second gate 150. The second gate oxide layer 151 is formed, and the second gate oxide layer 151 may be located on a surface of the protective layer 170 remote from the substrate 100.
Referring to fig. 11, the process steps of forming the second gate electrode 150, the protective layer 170, and the second gate oxide layer 151 may further include: the protective layer 170 is formed, the protective layer 170 is located on the surface of the substrate 100, and the protective layer 170 covers only a partial area of the surface of the substrate 100. The second gate oxide layer 151 and the second gate electrode 150 are formed such that the second gate oxide layer 151 surrounds the second gate electrode 150, the second gate oxide layer 151 and the protective layer 170 together cover the entire surface of the substrate 100, and the protective layer 170 covers the sides of the second gate oxide layer 151. In the structure formed by this process step, the second gate oxide layer 151 located between the second gate electrode 150 and the substrate 100 may already serve to insulate the second gate electrode 150 from the substrate 100, so that the insulating layer 160 does not need to be formed.
Referring to fig. 12, a third IGZO layer 180 is formed, the third IGZO layer 180 is located on at least a portion of the surface of the second gate oxide layer 151 facing the second gate electrode 150 away from the substrate 100, and the third IGZO layer 180 has doping ions therein, and the number of oxygen vacancies in the third IGZO layer 180 is smaller than that in the first IGZO layer. In some embodiments, the third IGZO layer 180 may further cover the second gate oxide layer 151 and the entire surface of the protective layer 170 away from the substrate 100.
With continued reference to fig. 12, a first IGZO layer 110 is formed, the first IGZO layer 110 being located on the substrate 100, the first IGZO layer 110 including a channel region 111. The first IGZO layer 110 may be on a surface of the third IGZO layer 180 remote from the substrate 100, and the channel region 111 is opposite to the second gate electrode 150.
With continued reference to fig. 12, a second IGZO layer 120 is formed, the second IGZO layer 120 being located at least on the channel region 111, and the second IGZO layer 120 having dopant ions therein, the number of oxygen vacancies in the second IGZO layer 120 being smaller than the number of oxygen vacancies in the first IGZO layer 110. The second IGZO layer 120 may be formed only on the channel region 111, or may also be formed on opposite sides of the channel region 111.
In some embodiments, the method of forming the third IGZO layer 180 doped with the doping ions and the second IGZO layer 120 may be an in-situ doping method. The third IGZO layer 180 and the second IGZO layer 120 are doped with dopant ions during the process of forming the third IGZO layer 180 and the second IGZO layer 120. The in-situ doping process can improve the stability and reliability of the process, and the in-situ doping method is adopted to form the second IGZO layer 120 and the third IGZO layer 180, so that the yield of the semiconductor structure can be improved.
In some embodiments, the gas flow rate of the introduced gas providing the dopant ions may be 15sccm-30sccm when forming the second IGZO layer 120. For example, when the second IGZO layer 120 is formed, the gas flow rate of the gas supplied with the dopant ions may be 15 seem, 17 seem, 20 seem, 23 seem, 25 seem, 27 seem, 30 seem, or the like. If the gas flow for providing the doping ions is too large, the concentration of the doping ions doped into the second IGZO layer 120 is too large, which may cause too small the number of oxygen vacancies in the second IGZO layer 120, affecting the performance of the second IGZO layer 120; if the gas flow rate of the dopant ions is too small, the concentration of the dopant ions doped into the second IGZO layer 120 is too small, the blocking effect of the second IGZO layer 120 on the first gate 130 and the first IGZO layer 110 may be poor, and the first IGZO layer 110 still has more electron loss, so that the carrier mobility of the semiconductor structure still needs to be improved. Therefore, when the second IGZO layer 120 is formed, the gas flow rate of the gas for providing the doping ions needs to be selected to be in a proper range, and when the gas flow rate of the gas for providing the doping ions is 15sccm-30sccm, the second IGZO layer 120 has better performance and can effectively block the first gate 130 and the first IGZO layer 110.
Similarly, when the third IGZO layer 180 having the dopant ions is formed, the gas flow rate of the gas supplied with the dopant ions may be 15sccm to 30sccm.
Referring to fig. 13, a first gate electrode 130 is formed, the first gate electrode 130 being located on a portion of the surface of the second IGZO layer 120 remote from the substrate 100. Before forming the first gate electrode 130, a first gate oxide layer 131 may be formed, where the first gate oxide layer 131 is located on a surface of the second IGZO layer 120 away from the substrate 100, and the first gate oxide layer 131 is located between the first gate electrode 130 and the second IGZO layer 120.
Referring to fig. 14, a sidewall structure 140 is formed, the sidewall structure 140 may be located on a surface of the second IGZO layer 120 remote from the substrate 100, and the sidewall structure 140 may cover sides of the first gate oxide layer 131 and sides of the first gate electrode 130.
With continued reference to fig. 14, a doped region 113 is formed, the doped region 113 being doped with hydrogen ions. The doped region 113 may be located in both side regions of the channel region 111 at this time, and the doped region 113 may be located in the first IGZO layer 110, the second IGZO layer 120, and the third IGZO layer 180. The process of forming the doped region 113 may be a plasma treatment process.
Referring to fig. 15, source-drain doped regions 112 are formed, the source-drain doped regions 112 being located at least on opposite sides of the channel region 111. The source/drain doped region 112 is doped, wherein if N-type doping is required, N-type ions, such as nitrogen ions, phosphorus ions, etc., may be implanted. If P-type doping is required, P-type ions, such as boron ions, aluminum ions, etc., may be implanted. After forming the source-drain doped region 112, the doped region 113 may be located between the channel region 111 and the source-drain doped region 112, and the source-drain doped region 112 may be located within the first IGZO layer 110, the second IGZO layer 120, and the third IGZO layer 180.
