In the following description, for a thorough understanding of the present invention, detailed steps and structures will be presented in order to illustrate the technical solution presented by the present invention. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, however, the present invention may have other embodiments in addition to these detailed descriptions.
Example 1
Next, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 2A to 2L, wherein fig. 2A to 2L show schematic cross-sectional views of semiconductor devices obtained by sequentially carrying out the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to one embodiment of the present invention.
Illustratively, the method of fabricating a semiconductor device of the present application includes the steps of:
first, step S110 is performed, as shown in fig. 2A, a substrate 201 is provided, and an epitaxial layer 203 is formed on the substrate 201.
In particular, the substrate 201 may be any suitable semiconductor substrate, such as a bulk silicon substrate, which may also be at least one of the following mentioned materials: si, ge, siGe, siC, siGeC, inAs, gaAs, inP or other III/V compound semiconductors, and also include multilayer structures of these semiconductors, or are silicon-on-insulator (SOI), silicon-on-insulator (SSOI), silicon-germanium-on-insulator (S-SiGeOI), silicon-germanium-on-insulator (SiGeOI), and germanium-on-insulator (GeOI), or may be double-sided polished silicon wafers (Double Side Polished Wafers, DSP), or may be ceramic substrates such as alumina, quartz, or glass substrates, or the like.
In some embodiments of the present application, substrate 201 may be a single layer of semiconductor material, such as a silicon carbide substrate or the like.
On the substrate 201, the epitaxial layer 203 may be formed by an epitaxial growth process such as vapor phase epitaxy, liquid phase epitaxy, molecular beam epitaxy, and the like. The material of the epitaxial layer 203 may be the same as or different from the material of the substrate 201. Illustratively, the material of the epitaxial layer 203 is any suitable material such as silicon carbide.
In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 2A, before forming the epitaxial layer 203, a buffer layer 202 may also be formed on the substrate 201, where the buffer layer 202 is located between the substrate 201 and the epitaxial layer 203, and the buffer layer 202 can enable a better concentration matching between the epitaxial layer 203 and the substrate 201, so that the doping concentration of the epitaxial layer 203 can be accurately controlled during the growth process.
Next, step S120 is performed, as shown in fig. 2B, a gate dielectric layer 204 is formed on the epitaxial layer 203, and dummy gate structures are formed on the gate dielectric layer 204 at intervals.
In one example, a gate dielectric layer 204 is formed on the epitaxial layer 203, and dummy gate structures are formed on the gate dielectric layer 204 at intervals. Wherein the dummy gate structure includes a dummy gate material layer 205 and a gate hard mask layer 206 disposed from bottom to top.
The gate dielectric layer 204 may comprise, among other things, conventional dielectric materials such as oxides, nitrides, and oxynitrides of silicon having a dielectric constant of from about 4 to about 20 (measured in vacuum). Alternatively, the gate dielectric layer 204 may comprise a generally higher dielectric constant dielectric material having a dielectric constant from about 20 to at least about 100. The gate dielectric layer 204 may be formed using any of several methods suitable for the material of the gate dielectric layer composition. Including, but not limited to, thermal or plasma oxidation or nitridation methods, chemical vapor deposition methods, and physical vapor deposition methods.
The dummy gate material layer 205 may include one or more of an oxide layer, a nitride layer, and an oxynitride layer. The formation process of the dummy gate material layer may employ any existing technique known to those skilled in the art, such as physical vapor deposition method, chemical vapor deposition method, or magnetron sputtering.
In one example, as shown in fig. 2B, the gate dielectric layer 204 is an oxide layer, the dummy gate material layer 205 is a nitride layer, such as a silicon nitride layer, the gate hard mask layer 206 is an oxide layer, and the gate dielectric layer 204 and the dummy gate structure together form an ONO (oxygen-nitrogen-oxygen) structure.
Next, step S130 is performed, and as shown in fig. 2C, a first ion implantation is performed to form a first conductivity type well region 207 in the epitaxial layer 203.
Specifically, with the dummy gate structure formed in step S120 as a mask, well region implantation windows (not shown in the figure) for defining well regions to be formed are formed on both sides of the dummy gate structure. A first ion implantation is performed using the dummy gate structure as a mask to form a well region 207 of the first conductivity type on the surface layer of the epitaxial layer 203 on both sides of the dummy gate structure. Wherein the first conductivity type ions may be boron ions, boron fluoride ions, or the like, and the implantation direction may be perpendicular to the surface of the epitaxial layer 203.
Next, step S140 is performed, as shown in fig. 2D to 2F, a sidewall 209 is formed on the sidewall of the dummy gate structure, and a second ion implantation is performed to form a second conductivity type source region 210 in the first conductivity type well region 207.
In one example, as shown in fig. 2D and fig. 2E, forming a sidewall 209 on a sidewall of the dummy gate structure includes: depositing sidewall material 208 over the gate dielectric layer 204 and over the dummy gate structure; and etching back the side wall material 208, wherein the side wall material 208 remained on the side wall of the pseudo gate structure is the side wall 209.
The sidewall material 208 may be deposited on the gate dielectric layer 204 and on the dummy gate structure by any conventional technique known to those skilled in the art, such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, etc., and the sidewall material 208 covers the entire device surface. The sidewall material 208 is, for example, polysilicon, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, or the like. Here, polysilicon is preferably deposited by isotropic CVD, which, under the influence of the gate dielectric layer 204 and the oxide layer 206 in the dummy gate structure, forms the topography of fig. 2D.
In the process of etching back the sidewall material 208, the surface of the dummy gate structure is exposed, i.e., the sidewall material 208 on the surface of the dummy gate structure is etched completely. Those skilled in the art will understand that when the etching back is completed, the sidewall material 208 on the surface of the dummy gate structure is just etched completely, and only the sidewalls 209 are left on both sides of the dummy gate structure. The back etching process of the sidewall material 208 may be wet etching or dry etching, for example, when the sidewall material 208 is polysilicon, the back etching process may be performed by wet etching using a polysilicon etching solution, where the polysilicon etching solution may be formed by mixing nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid.
After forming the sidewall 209, a source region implantation window (not shown in the figure) for defining a source region to be formed is formed on both sides of the mask by using the sidewall 209 and the dummy gate structure as the mask. As shown in fig. 2F, a second ion implantation is performed using the sidewall 209 and the dummy gate structure as a mask, so as to form a source region 210 of a second conductivity type on the surface layer of the well region 207 of the first conductivity type on both sides of the mask. Wherein the second conductivity type ions may be phosphorus ions, arsenic ions, etc., and the implantation direction may be perpendicular to the surface of the epitaxial layer 203.
Next, step S150 is performed, and as shown in fig. 2G and fig. 2H, a dielectric material layer 212 is formed to cover the gate dielectric layer 204.
The dielectric material layer 212 may include conventional dielectric materials such as oxides, nitrides, and oxynitrides of silicon having a dielectric constant of from about 4 to about 20 (measured in vacuum), among others. Alternatively, the dielectric material layer 212 may comprise a generally higher dielectric constant dielectric material having a dielectric constant from about 20 to at least about 100. Such higher dielectric constant electrolyte materials may include, but are not limited to: hafnium oxide, hafnium silicate, titanium oxide, barium Strontium Titanate (BSTs), and lead zirconate titanate (PZTs). The dielectric material layer 212 may be formed using any of several methods suitable for the material of the dielectric material layer composition. Including, but not limited to, thermal or plasma oxidation or nitridation methods, chemical vapor deposition methods, and physical vapor deposition methods.
In one example, as shown in fig. 2G and 2H, a dielectric material 211 is deposited on the gate dielectric layer 204, on the sidewalls, and on the dummy gate structure, the dielectric material 211 covering the entire device surface. Subsequently, chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is performed to remove the dielectric material 211 on the dummy gate structure, and Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is performed to remove the gate hard mask layer 206 until the dummy gate material layer 205 is exposed, the dielectric material 211 remains as the dielectric material layer 212, and the dielectric material layer 212 is flush with the dummy gate material layer 205, as shown in fig. 2H. Wherein the dielectric material 211 may be an oxide.
Next, step S160 is performed, as shown in fig. 2G to 2H, to remove the dummy gate structure.
After the gate hard mask layer 206 is removed by Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) until the dummy gate material layer 205 is exposed, the dummy gate material layer 205 is removed by wet etching with a high selectivity. In an embodiment of the present application, the dummy gate material layer 205 and the dielectric material layer 212 have a high etch selectivity. When the dummy gate material layer 205 is silicon nitride, a heat of 180deg.C, 85% H may be used 3 P0 4 Solution removal of the nitrogenAnd (5) a silicon layer.
Next, step S170 is performed, as shown in fig. 2J to 2L, an isolation layer 214 is formed on the sidewall of the sidewall 209, and a third ion implantation is performed to form a JFET region 215 in the epitaxial layer 203.
In one example, as shown in fig. 2J and fig. 2K, forming an isolation layer 214 on a sidewall of the sidewall 209 includes: depositing an isolation layer material 213 on the dielectric material layer 212, on the sidewalls of the sidewalls 209 and on the gate dielectric layer 204; and removing the isolation layer material 213 on the dielectric material layer 212 and the gate dielectric layer 204, and retaining the isolation layer material 213 on the sidewall of the sidewall 209 to form the isolation layer 214 on the sidewall of the sidewall 209.
Any prior art methods known to those skilled in the art, such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, etc., may be used to deposit the isolation layer material 213 on the dielectric material layer 212, on the sidewalls of the sidewall 209, and on the gate dielectric layer 204, where the isolation layer material 213 covers the entire device surface. The isolation layer material 213 is, for example, polysilicon, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, or the like. Here, polysilicon is deposited, preferably by isotropic CVD, which will form the topography of FIG. 2J.
In the process of removing the isolation layer material 213, the surface of the dielectric material layer 212 is exposed, i.e., the isolation layer material 213 on the surface of the dielectric material layer 212 is completely etched. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that when the spacer material 213 on the surface of the dielectric material layer 212 is completely etched, the spacer material 213 on the surface of the gate dielectric layer 204 can just be completely etched, and only the spacer 214 remains on the sidewall of the sidewall 209.
It should be noted that, when the isolation layer material 213 is deposited on the dielectric material layer 212, the sidewall of the sidewall 209, and the gate dielectric layer 204, the isolation layer material 213 is inevitably deposited on the upper surface of the sidewall 209, and the thickness of the isolation layer material 213 is consistent with the thickness of the isolation layer material 213 on the dielectric material layer 212. When the silicon of the isolation layer 213 on the surface of the dielectric layer 212 is removed, the isolation layer 213 on the upper surface of the sidewall 209 may be removed.
Then, as shown in fig. 2L, a third ion implantation may be performed to form a JFET region 215 on the surface layer of the epitaxial layer 203 in the region corresponding to the dummy gate structure. Wherein the third conductivity type ions may be n-type ions and the implantation direction may be perpendicular to the surface of the epitaxial layer 203.
In some embodiments of the present application, the second conductivity type is n-type for an n-type trench semiconductor device, the first conductivity type is p-type, and the second conductivity type is p-type for a p-type trench semiconductor device, the first conductivity type is n-type. Among them, p-type impurities or ions are boron, boron fluoride, and the like, and n-type impurities or ions are phosphorus, and the like.
It should be noted that the order of the steps is merely an example, and the order of the steps may be exchanged or alternatively performed without conflict.
In summary, in the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention, the first ion implantation for forming the well region of the first conductivity type, the second ion implantation for forming the source region of the second conductivity type, and the third ion implantation for forming the JFET region are connected in series by the self-alignment process, so that compared with the method of selectively implanting by using a photomask as a blocking layer, the method of the present invention can effectively reduce the overlay accuracy deviation caused by the secondary photolithography, thereby ensuring the stability of parameters; compared with a Blank ion implantation mode, the low-energy implantation mode can be selected, meanwhile, the channel cannot be influenced, and therefore the resistance of the JFET region can be reduced.

In particular, the substrate 401 may be any suitable semiconductor substrate, such as a bulk silicon substrate, which may also be at least one of the materials mentioned below: si, ge, siGe, siC, siGeC, inAs, gaAs, inP or other III/V compound semiconductors, and also include multilayer structures of these semiconductors, or are silicon-on-insulator (SOI), silicon-on-insulator (SSOI), silicon-germanium-on-insulator (S-SiGeOI), silicon-germanium-on-insulator (SiGeOI), and germanium-on-insulator (GeOI), or may be double-sided polished silicon wafers (Double Side Polished Wafers, DSP), or may be ceramic substrates such as alumina, quartz, or glass substrates, or the like.
In some embodiments of the present application, substrate 401 may be a single layer of semiconductor material, such as a silicon carbide substrate or the like.
On the substrate 401, the epitaxial layer 403 may be formed by an epitaxial growth process such as vapor phase epitaxy, liquid phase epitaxy, molecular beam epitaxy, and the like. The material of the epitaxial layer 403 may be the same as or different from the material of the substrate 401. Illustratively, the material of epitaxial layer 403 is any suitable material such as silicon carbide.
In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 4A, a buffer layer 402 may also be formed on the substrate 401 before the epitaxial layer 403 is formed, where the buffer layer 402 is located between the substrate 401 and the epitaxial layer 403, and the buffer layer 402 can enable a better concentration matching between the epitaxial layer 403 and the substrate 401, so that the doping concentration of the epitaxial layer 403 can be accurately controlled during the growth process.
Next, step S320 is performed, as shown in fig. 4B, a gate dielectric layer 404 is formed on the epitaxial layer 403, and dummy gate structures are formed on the gate dielectric layer 404 at intervals.
In one example, a gate dielectric layer 404 is formed on the epitaxial layer 403, and dummy gate structures are formed on the gate dielectric layer 404 at intervals. Wherein the dummy gate structure includes a dummy gate material layer 405 and a gate hard mask layer 406 disposed from bottom to top.
The gate dielectric layer 404 may comprise, among other things, conventional dielectric materials such as oxides, nitrides, and oxynitrides of silicon having a dielectric constant of from about 4 to about 20 (measured in vacuum). Alternatively, the gate dielectric layer 404 may comprise a generally higher dielectric constant dielectric material having a dielectric constant from about 20 to at least about 100. The gate dielectric layer 404 may be formed using any of several methods suitable for the material of the gate dielectric layer composition. Including, but not limited to, thermal or plasma oxidation or nitridation methods, chemical vapor deposition methods, and physical vapor deposition methods.
The dummy gate material layer may include one or more of an oxide layer, a nitride layer, and an oxynitride layer. The formation process of the dummy gate material layer may employ any existing technique known to those skilled in the art, such as physical vapor deposition method, chemical vapor deposition method, or magnetron sputtering.
In one example, as shown in fig. 4B, the gate dielectric layer 404 is an oxide layer, the dummy gate material layer 405 is a nitride layer, such as a silicon nitride layer, the gate hard mask layer 406 is an oxide layer, and the gate dielectric layer 404 and the dummy gate structure together form an ONO (oxygen-nitrogen-oxygen) structure.
Next, step S330 is performed, as shown in fig. 4C and fig. 4D, a sidewall 407 is formed on the sidewall of the dummy gate structure, and a first ion implantation is performed to form a JFET region 408 in the epitaxial layer 403.
In one example, forming the sidewall 407 on the sidewall of the dummy gate structure includes: depositing sidewall material on the gate dielectric layer 404 and on the dummy gate structure; and etching back the side wall material, wherein the side wall material remained on the side wall of the pseudo gate structure is the side wall 407.
The sidewall material may be deposited on the gate dielectric layer 404 and on the dummy gate structure by any of the conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, etc., and covers the entire device surface. The side wall material is polysilicon, silicon nitride, silicon oxide or silicon oxynitride, for example. Here, polysilicon is preferably deposited by isotropic CVD.
In the process of etching back the side wall material, the surface of the pseudo gate structure is exposed, namely the side wall material on the surface of the pseudo gate structure is completely etched. Those skilled in the art will understand that when the etching back is completed, the sidewall material on the surface of the dummy gate structure can be etched completely, and only the sidewall 407 is left on two sides of the dummy gate structure. The back etching process of the side wall material can adopt wet etching or dry etching, for example, when the side wall material is polysilicon, the back etching process can adopt polysilicon etching liquid for wet etching, and the polysilicon etching liquid can be formed by mixing nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid.
After forming the sidewall 407, JFET region implantation windows (not shown) for defining JFET regions 408 to be formed are formed in regions between adjacent masks, using the sidewall 407 and the dummy gate structure as masks. As shown in fig. 4D, a first ion implantation is performed using the sidewall 407 and the dummy gate structure as masks, so as to form a JFET region 408 on the surface layer of the epitaxial layer 403 corresponding to the region between adjacent masks. Wherein the first conductivity type ions may be n-type ions or the like, and the implantation direction may be perpendicular to the surface of the epitaxial layer 403.
Next, step S340 is performed, and as shown in fig. 4E and fig. 4F, a dielectric material layer 410 is formed to cover the gate dielectric layer 404.
The dielectric material layer 410 may include, among other things, conventional dielectric materials such as oxides, nitrides, and oxynitrides of silicon having a dielectric constant of from about 4 to about 20 (measured in vacuum). Alternatively, the dielectric material layer 410 may comprise a generally higher dielectric constant dielectric material having a dielectric constant from about 20 to at least about 100. Such higher dielectric constant electrolyte materials may include, but are not limited to: hafnium oxide, hafnium silicate, titanium oxide, barium Strontium Titanate (BSTs), and lead zirconate titanate (PZTs). The dielectric material layer 410 may be formed by any of several methods that are suitable for the material of the composition of the dielectric material layer 410. Including, but not limited to, thermal or plasma oxidation or nitridation methods, chemical vapor deposition methods, and physical vapor deposition methods.
In one example, as shown in fig. 4E and 4F, a dielectric material 409 is deposited over the gate dielectric layer 404, over the sidewalls 407, and over the dummy gate structure, the dielectric material 409 covering the entire device surface. Subsequently, chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is performed to remove the dielectric material 409 on the dummy gate structure, and the Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is performed to remove the gate hard mask layer 406 until the dummy gate material layer 405 is exposed, where the dielectric material 409 remains as the dielectric material layer 410, and the dielectric material layer 410 is flush with the dummy gate material layer 405, as shown in fig. 4F. Wherein the dielectric material 409 may be an oxide.
Next, step S350 is performed, as shown in fig. 4G, to remove the dummy gate structure.
After the gate hard mask layer 206 is removed by Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) until the dummy gate material layer 405 is exposed, the dummy gate material layer 405 is removed by wet etching with a high selectivity. In an embodiment of the present application, the dummy gate material layer 405 and the dielectric material layer 410 have a high etch selectivity. When the dummy gate material layer 405 is silicon nitride, a heat of 180deg.C, 85% H may be used 3 P0 4 And removing the silicon nitride layer by the solution.
Next, step S360 is performed, and as shown in fig. 4H, a second ion implantation is performed to form a first conductivity type well region 411 in the epitaxial layer 403.
Specifically, with the dielectric material layer 410 and the sidewall 407 formed in the above steps as masks, well region implantation windows (not shown in the figure) for defining well regions to be formed are formed on both sides of the dielectric material layer 410 and the sidewall 407. A second ion implantation is performed with the dielectric material layer 410 and the sidewall 407 as masks, so as to form a well 411 of the first conductivity type on the surface layer of the epitaxial layer 403 at both sides of the dielectric material layer 410 and the sidewall 407. The second conductivity type ions may be boron ions, boron fluoride ions, or the like, and the implantation direction may be perpendicular to the surface of the epitaxial layer 403.
Next, step S370 is performed, as shown in fig. 4I and 4J, an isolation layer 412 is formed on the sidewall of the first sidewall 407, and a third ion implantation is performed to form a second conductivity type source region 413 in the first conductivity type well region 411.
In one example, forming the isolation layer 412 on the sidewall of the sidewall 407 includes: depositing an isolation layer material on the dielectric material layer 410, on the sidewalls of the sidewalls 407 and on the gate dielectric layer 404; the spacer material on the dielectric material layer 410 and on the gate dielectric layer 404 is removed, and the spacer material on the sidewalls of the sidewall spacers 407 is retained to form the spacers 412 on the sidewalls of the sidewall spacers 407.
Any prior art techniques known to those skilled in the art, such as chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, etc., may be used to deposit an isolation layer material over dielectric material layer 410, the sidewalls of sidewall spacers 407, and gate dielectric layer 404, which covers the entire device surface. The isolation layer material is, for example, polysilicon, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, or the like. Here, polysilicon is preferably deposited by isotropic CVD.
In the process of removing the isolation layer material, the surface of the dielectric material layer 410 is exposed, i.e., the isolation layer material on the surface of the dielectric material layer 410 is completely etched. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that when the spacer material on the surface of the dielectric material layer 410 is completely etched, the spacer material on the surface of the gate dielectric layer 404 can just as well be completely etched, and only the spacer 412 remains on the sidewall of the sidewall 407.
It should be noted that, when the spacer material is deposited on the dielectric material layer 410, the sidewall of the sidewall 407, and the gate dielectric layer 404, the spacer material is inevitably deposited on the upper surface of the sidewall 407, where the thickness of the spacer material is consistent with the thickness of the spacer material on the dielectric material layer 410. When removing the spacer material on the surface of the dielectric material layer 410, the spacer material on the upper surface of the sidewall 407 may be removed together.
Then, as shown in fig. 4J, a third ion implantation may be performed to form a second conductive-type source region 413 at the surface layer of the first conductive-type well region 411. The third conductivity type ions may be phosphorus ions, arsenic ions, or the like, and the implantation direction may be perpendicular to the surface of the epitaxial layer 403.
In some embodiments of the present application, the second conductivity type is n-type for an n-type trench semiconductor device, the first conductivity type is p-type, and the second conductivity type is p-type for a p-type trench semiconductor device, the first conductivity type is n-type. Among them, p-type impurities or ions are boron, boron fluoride, and the like, and n-type impurities or ions are phosphorus, and the like.
It should be noted that the order of the steps is merely an example, and the order of the steps may be exchanged or alternatively performed without conflict.
In summary, in the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present application, the first ion implantation for forming the JFET region, the second ion implantation for forming the first conductivity type well region, and the third ion implantation for forming the second conductivity type source region are connected in series by the self-alignment process, so that compared with the method of selectively implanting by using a photomask as a blocking layer, the method of the present application can effectively reduce the overlay accuracy deviation caused by the secondary lithography, and further ensure the stability of parameters; compared with a Blank ion implantation mode, the low-energy implantation mode can be selected, meanwhile, the channel cannot be influenced, and therefore the resistance of the JFET region can be reduced.
