Detailed Description
In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily understood, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The present invention may be embodied in many other forms than described herein and similarly modified by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention, whereby the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and/or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Oxide semiconductors are a class of oxides formed from metal and oxygen that have semiconductor properties. For the FeFET based on the oxide semiconductor layer, the gate voltage induced current value, the field effect mobility and the switching characteristics are all affected by the source/drain contact characteristics. Therefore, selecting an appropriate source/drain contact material, or obtaining a good bonding state between the oxide semiconductor layer and the source/drain is very important for obtaining a high-performance FeFET device. At present, a Schottky barrier exists between an oxide semiconductor layer and a source/drain electrode of the FeFET device, so that the contact resistance is high, and the performance of the FeFET device is reduced.
In a conventional thin film transistor (Thin Film Transistor, TFT) device, in order to improve the bonding state between the source/drain electrodes and the oxide semiconductor layer, a hydrogen element doping method, an ion implantation method, an aluminum reaction method, a plasma method, and other conductive processes may be generally used to improve the conductivity of the oxide semiconductor layer. However, when the hydrogen element doping method or the ion implantation method is used, doping elements such As H, B, P and As are easily diffused in the oxide semiconductor layer, and thus the region which should not be conductive is also conductive to different degrees, and the uniformity of the width of the channel region is reduced, thereby causing instability in the device performance. The aluminum reaction method does not cause diffusion of the conductive region, but when applied to a FeFET device, it is subjected to two anneals, one of which is annealing for causing reaction between the aluminum film and the oxide semiconductor layer, and one of which is rapid annealing for inducing the ferroelectric material layer to form a ferroelectric phase, and the conditions of the two anneals are greatly different, and the oxide semiconductor layer and the ferroelectric material layer are affected to different extents, resulting in degradation of device performance. For the plasma method, after the conductive process, not only a rapid annealing is needed to induce the formation of a ferroelectric phase, but also a passivation layer isolating water and oxygen must be deposited, for example, a silicon nitride passivation layer or a silicon oxynitride passivation layer is formed by adopting a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition, PECVD) method, but the diffusion of hydrogen element in an oxide semiconductor layer is also induced in the growth process of the passivation layers, which not only affects the electrical characteristics of the device, but also increases the process complexity and the production cost of the whole device.
Based on this, the first aspect of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a ferroelectric field effect transistor, comprising the steps of:
forming an oxide semiconductor layer on a substrate, wherein the oxide semiconductor layer comprises a channel region, and a source region and a drain region which are positioned at two sides of the channel region;
forming a ferroelectric material layer on the channel region, and forming a top gate on the ferroelectric material layer;
forming a metal reaction layer to cover the source region, the drain region and the top gate;
in an oxidizing atmosphere, rapidly annealing at 300-600 ℃ to induce the ferroelectric material layer to form a ferroelectric phase to obtain a ferroelectric medium layer, and enabling oxygen elements of the source region and the drain region to be extracted by the metal reaction layer to obtain a conductive source region and a conductive drain region, and enabling the metal reaction layer to be spontaneously oxidized to obtain a passivation layer;
and forming a source electrode and a drain electrode in the passivation layer.
It will be appreciated that the ferroelectric material layer is not ferroelectric and the ferroelectric dielectric layer is ferroelectric.
The ferroelectric field effect transistor prepared by the invention adopts a top grid self-aligned structure, the top grid is positioned above the channel region of the oxide semiconductor layer, the channel region can be effectively protected as a mask, the channel region is prevented from being damaged by etching in different process procedures, and no overlap exists between the top grid and the source electrode as well as between the top grid and the drain electrode, thereby avoiding the generation of parasitic capacitance and the interference to the performance of the device, and further improving the reliability and the durability of the device. Further, annealing is carried out at 300-600 ℃ in an oxidizing atmosphere, so that the ferroelectric material layer can be promoted to undergo phase inversion under the action of high temperature and the mechanical clamping action of the top grid electrode and the oxide semiconductor layer, and the formation of ferroelectricity is promoted, thereby obtaining the ferroelectric medium layer with ferroelectric property. Meanwhile, oxygen elements in the source region and the drain region can be abstracted by the metal reaction layer to form oxygen vacancies in the source region and the drain region, so that carrier concentration of the source region and the drain region is improved, and a conductive source region and a conductive drain region are obtained, ohmic contacts are formed between the source region and the conductive source region and between the drain region and the conductive drain region, and the ferroelectric field effect transistor has higher carrier mobility and lower operating voltage. And the metal reaction layer can be spontaneously oxidized to form a metal oxide film, so that a passivation layer with good water and oxygen blocking effect is obtained, and the reliability and the durability of the device are improved. Therefore, the ferroelectric field effect transistor with high device performance and good durability can be prepared by simultaneously realizing three functions of inducing the ferroelectric material layer to form a ferroelectric phase, promoting the source region and the drain region to generate conductor and depositing the passivation layer through one-time annealing, and has the advantages of simple process, easiness in realization and lower cost.
