Detailed Description
As known from the background art, the signal loss problem of the device surrounded by the protection ring is larger at present, and it is difficult to improve the performance of the device.
Now, two kinds of semiconductor devices are combined, and the reason why it is difficult to improve the performance of the devices at present is analyzed.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a semiconductor device.
Referring to fig. 1, a semiconductor device includes: a substrate including a shielding region 40b, and a protection region 40a surrounding the shielding region 40 b; a shielding structure on the substrate of the shielding region 40 b; and a guard ring 40 on the substrate of the guard region 40a, the guard ring 40 being electrically connected to the shielding structure, the guard ring 40 being grounded.
In integrated circuits, such as CMOS radio frequency integrated circuits, sensing devices are an important electrical device whose performance parameters directly affect the performance of the integrated circuit. Inductive devices in integrated circuits are mostly planar inductances, such as planar spiral inductances. Compared with the traditional wire-wound inductor, the planar inductor has the advantages of low cost, easiness in integration, low noise, low power consumption and the like, and the planar inductor has higher compatibility with the existing integrated circuit process.
An important indicator of how good an inductive device performs is the quality factor, which is higher, the better the performance of the inductive device is characterized. One important factor affecting the quality factor of the sensing device is the signal loss problem of the sensing device. One way to reduce signal loss is to surround the shielding structure with a grounded guard ring 40, so as to inhibit signal leakage and reduce signal loss of the sensing device.
In the semiconductor device, the guard ring 40 is shaped to surround the shielding region 40b, and the guard ring 40 is generally shaped like an octagon or a circle, which can present a surrounding pattern, and as the feature size of the integrated circuit is continuously reduced, it is difficult to form a metal line with any shape (e.g. octagon or circle) due to exposure limitation, design rule limitation, etc., and it is difficult to adapt to the current process of continuously reducing the feature size of the integrated circuit by using the continuous metal line around the guard ring 40 in fig. 1.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4 in combination, there is a schematic structural view of another semiconductor device, in which fig. 2 is a top view of the other semiconductor device, fig. 3 is an enlarged schematic partial view of a region a in fig. 2, and fig. 4 is a sectional view of fig. 3 (a) in the CC direction.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4 in combination, a semiconductor device includes: a substrate 10 including a shielding region 10b, and a protection region 10a surrounding the shielding region 10 b; a shielding structure 30 on the substrate 10 of the shielding region 10 b; a plurality of first metal lines 21 on the substrate 10 of the protection region 10a, the plurality of first metal lines 21 extending in a first direction (shown as X direction in fig. 3) and being arranged in parallel in a second direction (shown as Y direction in fig. 3), the plurality of first metal lines 21 forming a shape surrounding the shielding region 10b, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction; and second metal lines 22 located on the first metal lines 21, the plurality of second metal lines 22 extending in the second direction and being arranged in parallel in the first direction, the plurality of second metal lines 22 forming a shape surrounding the shielding region 10b, each second metal line 22 crossing the plurality of first metal lines 21 in the second direction and being electrically connected to the plurality of first metal lines 21 in the region, the plurality of first metal lines 21 and the plurality of second metal lines 22 forming a guard ring 20, the guard ring 20 being for grounding, the shielding structure 30 being electrically connected to the guard ring 20.
For clarity of illustration, fig. 3 (a) is a schematic enlarged view of a region a in fig. 2, fig. 3 (b) is a schematic view of the first metal line 21 in fig. 3 (a), and fig. 3 (c) is a schematic view of the second metal line 22 in fig. 3 (a).
The first metal lines 21 extend along a first direction, and the second metal lines 22 extend along a second direction, which is suitable for the current process of continuously decreasing the feature size of the integrated circuit. However, as shown in fig. 4, it has been found that, if the guard ring 20 is formed of the first metal line 21 and the second metal line 22 having the upper and lower layer structures, the first metal line 21 or the second metal line 22 does not have a closed structure in the same layer, so that the protection capability of the shielding region is insufficient in each layer, it is difficult to suppress signal leakage, and it is easy to cause signal loss of the device surrounded by the guard ring 20, which affects the performance of the device, especially, for the sensing device, and it is difficult to improve the quality factor of the device.
In order to solve the technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a semiconductor device, including: a substrate including a shielding region, and a protection region surrounding the shielding region; the shielding structure is positioned on the substrate of the shielding area; a bottom guard ring on the substrate of the guard region and surrounding the shielding structure, the bottom guard ring being for grounding, the shielding structure being electrically connected to the bottom guard ring, the bottom guard ring comprising: the first conductive layers are positioned on the substrate of the protection area, extend along a first direction and are arranged in parallel along a second direction, form a shape surrounding the shielding area, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction; the second conductive layers are positioned on the substrate of the protection area, extend along the second direction and are arranged in parallel along the first direction, form a shape surrounding the shielding area, and each second conductive layer penetrates through the first conductive layers of the area along the second direction and is electrically connected with the first conductive layers.
In the semiconductor device provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer on the same layer form the bottom protection ring, so that the closed-loop bottom protection ring can be formed, the protection capability of the shielding region is improved, the signal leakage is restrained, the probability of signal loss of the device surrounded by the bottom protection ring is reduced, and the performance of the device is improved.

In integrated circuits, such as CMOS radio frequency integrated circuits, sensing devices are an important electrical device whose performance parameters directly affect the performance of the integrated circuit. Semiconductor devices are typically formed under the sensing devices in the integrated circuit to isolate the sensing devices from the substrate, reducing substrate loss.
The substrate 100 provides a process operation basis for a formation process of a semiconductor device, wherein the substrate 100 of the shielding region 100b provides a process operation basis for a formation process of a shielding structure, and the substrate 100 of the protection region 100a provides a process operation basis for a formation process of a bottom Guard Ring (GR).
In this embodiment, the substrate 100 includes a substrate 160, discrete channel protruding portions 110 located on the substrate 160, and a gate structure 130 crossing the channel protruding portions 110 and covering part of the top and part of the side walls of the channel protruding portions 110, wherein the channel protruding portions 110 on both sides of the gate structure 130 are further formed with source-drain doped layers 120, the channel protruding portions 110 extend along a second direction and are arranged in parallel along the first direction, and the gate structure 130 extends along the first direction and is arranged in parallel along the second direction.
In the actual process of forming the semiconductor device, the semiconductor device and the CMOS transistor are usually integrated on the same wafer, so that the semiconductor device and the CMOS transistor are formed in the same manufacturing process, and meanwhile, the substrate of the semiconductor device adopts the same structure as the CMOS transistor, which is beneficial to improving the flatness of the whole wafer.
In this embodiment, the substrate 160 is a silicon substrate. In other embodiments, the substrate may be a germanium substrate, a silicon carbide substrate, a gallium arsenide substrate, or an indium gallium substrate, and the substrate may be a silicon on insulator substrate or a germanium on insulator substrate. The material of the substrate may be a material suitable for process requirements or easy integration.
In this embodiment, in the process of manufacturing the CMOS transistor, a fin field effect transistor is introduced, the channel protruding portion 110 is a fin portion for providing a channel of the fin field effect transistor, and the gate structure 130 is used for controlling the on and off of the channel of the fin field effect transistor. Accordingly, the channel protrusion 110 and the gate structure 130 of the semiconductor device can be simultaneously formed during a process of forming the fin field effect transistor. In other embodiments, a fully-enclosed (GAA) transistor may also be incorporated, and the corresponding channel protrusions may also be one or more longitudinally-spaced channel layers.
In this embodiment, the material of the channel protruding portion 110 is the same as the material of the substrate 160, and the material of the channel protruding portion 110 is silicon.
The type of gate structure 130 depends on the actual requirements of the finfet. In practical technology, the fin field effect transistor uses a high-k Gate dielectric material instead of a conventional silicon dioxide Gate dielectric material and uses Metal as a Gate electrode, so in this embodiment, the Gate structure 130 of the semiconductor device is a Metal Gate structure (Metal Gate). In other embodiments, the gate structure of the semiconductor device may also be a polysilicon gate structure.
In this embodiment, the source-drain doped layer 120 of the semiconductor device is formed during the formation of the fin field effect transistor, so the doping type of the source-drain doped layer 120 may be N-type or P-type.
In this embodiment, the channel protruding portions 110 extend along the second direction and are arranged in parallel along the first direction, the gate structures 130 extend along the first direction and are arranged in parallel along the second direction, and accordingly, the first conductive layers 210 can extend along the first direction and are arranged in parallel along the second direction according to the direction of the gate structures 130, and the second conductive layers 220 extend along the second direction and are arranged in parallel along the first direction according to the direction of the channel protruding portions 110.
In this embodiment, the semiconductor device further includes: dielectric layer 140 covers substrate 100. Dielectric layer 140 serves to isolate adjacent devices from each other and also serves to provide a process basis for the formation of first conductive layer 210 and second conductive layer 220. In this embodiment, the material of the dielectric layer 140 is an insulating material, including one or more of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxycarbide, silicon carbonitride, and silicon oxycarbonitride.
In integrated circuits, an important indicator of how well a sensing device performs is the quality factor (Q), which is higher, the better the performance of the sensing device is characterized. Among them, an important factor affecting the quality factor of the sensing device is Substrate Loss (Substrate Loss) at high frequencies.
In this embodiment, the semiconductor device is disposed below the sensing device (e.g. inductor), and the shielding structure 300 is used to shield the electric field lines and the magnetic field lines of the sensing device, so that most of the electric field lines and the magnetic field lines generated by the sensing device terminate in the shielding structure 300 and do not enter the substrate 160, thereby reducing the loss of the substrate 160 and correspondingly improving the quality factor of the sensing device. Specifically, the shielding structure 300 is a patterned ground shield (Pattern Ground Shield, PGS) structure.
In the present embodiment, noise current generated in the shielding structure 300 is grounded by grounding the shielding structure 300.
In this embodiment, the shielding structure 300 includes a plurality of shielding layers, and by employing the plurality of shielding layers, coupling capacitance and coupling inductance between the shielding layers and the substrate 100 are effectively reduced. The two adjacent shielding layers are electrically connected with each other and are grounded, so that noise current generated by the upper shielding layer can be transmitted to the lower shielding layer until the transmission is grounded when the induction device works, and noise crosstalk (cross talk noise) can be restrained. In this embodiment, the material of the shielding structure 300 is a conductive material, and the conductive material includes Cu, W, or Al.
The first conductive layer 210 is used to constitute the bottom guard ring 200, and the first conductive layer 210 is used to constitute the shape of the bottom guard ring 200 by arrangement.
In this embodiment, the first conductive layer 210 includes a source-drain plug layer, which is located on top of the source-drain doped layer 120 and spans the plurality of channel protrusions 110, and covers a portion of the top of the source-drain doped layer 120.
In this embodiment, the source-drain plug layer is used as the first conductive layer 210, so that the first conductive layer 210 can be formed by using a process of forming the source-drain plug layer in the formation process of the fin field effect transistor, thereby reducing modification to the existing process and improving the process efficiency of forming the first conductive layer 210.
In this embodiment, the first conductive layer 210 is located in the dielectric layer 140 on top of the substrate 100, and specifically, the first conductive layer 210 is located in the dielectric layer 140 on top of the source/drain doped layer 120.
In this embodiment, the plurality of first conductive layers 210 form an octagon with a ring shape surrounding the shielding region 100 b.
In this embodiment, the first conductive layer 210 is configured to form the shape of the bottom protection ring 200 by arrangement, and accordingly, the shape of the bottom protection ring 200 is made to be octagonal, so that the suppression effect of the bottom protection ring 200 on signals is relatively uniform, and the shape of the bottom protection ring 200 surrounding the shielding structure 300 is made to be octagonal, so that the shielding structure 300 is beneficial to uniformly shielding the electric field lines and the induced magnetic field lines of the induction device.
In other embodiments, the shape of the plurality of first conductive layers forming the surrounding shielding region may also be triangular, square or circular.
In this embodiment, the material of the first conductive layer 210 is a conductive material, and the conductive material may be Cu, W or Al.
The second conductive layer 220 is used to penetrate the first conductive layer 210 in the region, electrically connect the first conductive layers 210 in the region, and also jointly form the bottom protection ring 200 with the first conductive layer 210.
In this embodiment, the first conductive layer 210 and the second conductive layer 220 of the same layer form the bottom protection ring 200, so that the closed-loop bottom protection ring 200 can be formed, thereby improving the protection capability of the shielding region 100b, being beneficial to inhibiting signal leakage, reducing the probability of signal loss of the device surrounded by the bottom protection ring 200, and further being beneficial to improving the performance of the device.
In this embodiment, the second conductive layer 220 includes a gate plug layer disposed on top of the gate structures 130 and crossing over the plurality of gate structures 130, and the gate plug layer covers a portion of the top of the gate structures 130. In this embodiment, the gate plug layer is used as the second conductive layer 220, so that the second conductive layer 220 can be formed by using a process of forming the gate plug layer in the process of forming the fin field effect transistor, thereby reducing modification to the existing process and improving the process efficiency of forming the second conductive layer 220.
In this embodiment, the second conductive layer 220 is located in the dielectric layer 140 on top of the substrate 100, and in particular, the second conductive layer 220 is located in the dielectric layer 140 on top of the gate structure 130. In this embodiment, the material of the second conductive layer 220 is a conductive material, and the conductive material may be Cu, W or Al.
It should be noted that, the second conductive layer 220 is electrically connected to the first conductive layer 210, so as to simplify the process steps of forming the first conductive layer 210 and the second conductive layer 220 and reduce the process cost, the first conductive layer 210 and the second conductive layer 220 are formed in the same process step; accordingly, the first conductive layer 210 and the second conductive layer 220 are integrally formed.
The bottom guard ring 200 surrounds the shielding structure 300 and is electrically connected to the shielding structure 300 such that the bottom guard ring 200 serves to ground noise current generated in the shielding structure 300. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the bottom guard ring 200 is electrically connected to the shielding structure 300 through radial interconnect lines.
Accordingly, in this embodiment, the first conductive layer 210 and the second conductive layer 220 of the same layer form the bottom protection ring 200, which can form the closed-loop bottom protection ring 200, so as to be beneficial to inhibiting signal leakage, thereby being beneficial to reducing the probability of signal loss of the sensing device, and further being beneficial to improving the Q value of the sensing device. Meanwhile, the first conductive layer 210 and the second conductive layer 220 of the same layer form the bottom guard ring 200, and can also adapt to the rules such as exposure limitation and design rule limitation, so as to adapt to the current process of continuously reducing the feature size of the integrated circuit.
In the present embodiment, the width d1 of the bottom protection ring 200 in the radial direction is not too large or too small. If the width d1 of the bottom guard ring 200 in the radial direction is too large, the number of the first conductive layers 210 and the second conductive layers 220 for constituting the bottom guard ring 200 is too large, which tends to increase the complexity of the process of forming the bottom guard ring 200 and also tends to cause unnecessary waste; if the width d1 of the bottom guard ring 200 in the radial direction is too small, the number of the first conductive layers 210 and the second conductive layers 220 used to form the bottom guard ring 200 is too small and the size is also small, which easily affects the electrical connection performance of the first conductive layers 210 and the second conductive layers 220, thereby affecting the protection of the bottom guard ring 200 and the suppression of signals by the bottom guard ring 200. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the width d1 of the bottom guard ring 200 in the radial direction is 1 μm to 10 μm.
In this embodiment, the inner diameter d2 of the bottom protection ring 200 is not too large or too small. If the inner diameter d2 of the bottom guard ring 200 is too large, it is easy to cause an excessively large occupied area of the semiconductor device, thereby causing unnecessary area waste; if the inner diameter d2 of the bottom guard ring 200 is too small, the area of the shielding region 100b surrounded by the bottom guard ring 200 is too small, which easily causes process difficulties in forming the shielding structure 300, thereby affecting the formation of the semiconductor device. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the inner diameter d2 of the bottom guard ring 200 is 10um to 300um.
In this embodiment, the bottom guard ring 200 has a plurality of equally spaced first openings 100c, and the first openings 100c divide the bottom guard ring 200 into a plurality of cells isolated from each other.
Accordingly, the shielding structure 300 surrounded by the bottom guard ring 200 also has a plurality of equally spaced second openings, which divide the shielding structure 300 into a plurality of cells isolated from each other, wherein the second openings are in communication with the first openings 100 c.
By dividing the bottom guard ring 200 and the shielding structure 300 into a plurality of units isolated from each other, the resistance of the bottom guard ring 200 and the shielding structure 300 is reduced, thereby reducing the parasitic resistance of the bottom guard ring 200 and the shielding structure 300 and further improving the Q value of the induction device; and the bottom protection ring 200 and the shielding structure 300 are divided into a plurality of units which are isolated from each other, so that the eddy current formed in the bottom protection ring 200 and the shielding structure 300 by the induction current generated in the bottom protection ring 200 and the shielding structure 300 by the magnetic field generated by the induction device can be effectively restrained, the energy loss of the bottom protection ring 200 and the shielding structure 300 to the induction device is reduced, and the Q value of the induction device is further improved.
The greater the number of the first openings 100c, the better the effect of improving the Q value of the sensing device. However, if the number of the first openings 100c is too large, an excessive number of induced magnetic field lines may be caused to enter the substrate 160 through the first openings 100c, and instead the shielding effect of the shielding structure 300 may be reduced. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the number of the first openings 100c is two to eight.

In integrated circuits, an important indicator of how well an inductive device performs is the quality factor, which is higher, the better the performance of the inductive device is characterized.

Referring to fig. 11 to 13 in combination, fig. 11 is a top view of the semiconductor device, fig. 12 is a partially enlarged schematic view of a region B in fig. 11, fig. 13 (a) is a cross-sectional view of fig. 12 along a DD direction, and fig. 13 (B) is a cross-sectional view of fig. 12 along an EE direction, in which the first conductive layer 211 includes a source-drain plug layer on top of the source-drain doped layer 121 and crossing over the plurality of channel protrusions 111, and the source-drain plug layer 121 covers a portion of the top of the source-drain doped layer 121.
The first conductive layer 211 is used to constitute the bottom guard ring 201, and the first conductive layer 211 is used to constitute the shape of the bottom guard ring 201 by arrangement.
In this embodiment, the source-drain plug layer is used as the first conductive layer 211, so that the source-drain plug layer can be formed in the formation process of the fin field effect transistor, thereby reducing the modification to the existing process and improving the process efficiency of forming the first conductive layer 211.
In this embodiment, the plurality of first conductive layers 211 form an octagon with a ring shape surrounding the shielding region 101 b.
In this embodiment, the first conductive layer 211 is configured to form the shape of the bottom protection ring 201 by arrangement, accordingly, the shape of the bottom protection ring 201 is made to be octagonal, so that the suppression effect of the bottom protection ring 201 on signals is relatively uniform, and the shape of the bottom protection ring 201 surrounding the shielding structure 301 is also made to be octagonal, so that the shielding structure 301 is beneficial to uniformly shielding the electric field lines and the induced magnetic field lines of the induction device.
In other embodiments, the shape of the plurality of first conductive layers forming the surrounding shielding region may also be triangular, square or circular.
In this embodiment, the material of the first conductive layer 211 is a conductive material, and the conductive material may be Cu, W or Al.
With continued reference to fig. 11-13, in this embodiment, the second conductive layer 221 includes a gate plug layer on top of the gate structures 130 and across the plurality of gate structures 130, the gate plug layer covering a portion of the top of the gate structures 130.
The second conductive layer 221 is used to penetrate the first conductive layer 211 in the region, electrically connect the first conductive layer 211 in the region, and also form the bottom guard ring 201 together with the first conductive layer 211.
In this embodiment, the gate plug layer is used as the second conductive layer 221, so that the gate plug layer can be formed in the forming process of the fin field effect transistor, thereby reducing the modification of the existing process and improving the process efficiency of forming the second conductive layer 221.
In this embodiment, the material of the second conductive layer 221 is a conductive material, and the conductive material may be Cu, W or Al.
The bottom guard ring 201 surrounds the shielding structure 301 and is electrically connected to the shielding structure 301, so that the bottom guard ring 201 serves to ground noise current generated in the shielding structure 301.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the bottom guard ring 201 is electrically connected to the shielding structure 301 through a radial interconnect line.
In the present embodiment, the width d1 of the bottom guard ring 201 in the radial direction is not too large or too small. If the width d1 of the bottom guard ring 201 in the radial direction is too large, the number of the first conductive layers 211 and the second conductive layers 221 for constituting the bottom guard ring 201 is too large, which tends to increase the complexity of the process of forming the bottom guard ring 201 and also tends to cause unnecessary waste; if the width d1 of the bottom guard ring 201 in the radial direction is too small, the number of the first conductive layers 211 and the second conductive layers 221 constituting the bottom guard ring 201 is too small and the size is also small, so that the electrical connection performance of the first conductive layers 211 and the second conductive layers 221 is easily affected, thereby affecting the protection effect of the bottom guard ring 201 and the suppression effect of the bottom guard ring 201 on signals. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the width d1 of the bottom guard ring 201 in the radial direction is 1 μm to 10 μm.
In this embodiment, the inner diameter d2 of the bottom guard ring 201 is not too large or too small. If the inner diameter d2 of the bottom guard ring 201 is too large, it is easy to cause an excessively large occupied area of the semiconductor device, thereby causing unnecessary area waste; if the inner diameter d2 of the bottom guard ring 201 is too small, the area of the shielding region 101b surrounded by the bottom guard ring 201 is too small, which easily causes process difficulties in forming the shielding structure 301, thereby affecting the formation of the semiconductor device. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the inner diameter d2 of the bottom guard ring 201 is 10um to 300um.
In this embodiment, the bottom guard ring 201 has a plurality of equally spaced first openings 101c, and the first openings 101c divide the bottom guard ring 201 into a plurality of cells isolated from each other.
Accordingly, the shielding structure 301 surrounded by the bottom guard ring 201 also has a plurality of equally spaced second openings, which divide the shielding structure 301 into a plurality of cells isolated from each other, wherein the second openings are in communication with the first openings 101 c.
By dividing the bottom guard ring 201 and the shielding structure 301 into a plurality of units isolated from each other, the resistance of the bottom guard ring 201 and the shielding structure 301 is reduced, so that parasitic resistance of the bottom guard ring 201 and the shielding structure 301 is reduced, and the Q value of the induction device is improved; and the bottom protection ring 201 and the shielding structure 301 are divided into a plurality of units which are isolated from each other, so that eddy currents formed in the bottom protection ring 201 and the shielding structure 301 by induced currents generated in the bottom protection ring 201 and the shielding structure 301 by a magnetic field generated by an induction device can be effectively restrained, energy loss of the bottom protection ring 201 and the shielding structure 301 to the induction device is reduced, and the Q value of the induction device is further improved.
The greater the number of the first openings 101c, the better the effect of improving the Q value of the sensing device. However, if the number of the first openings 101c is too large, it may cause too many induced magnetic field lines to enter the substrate 160 through the first openings 101c, which may rather reduce the shielding effect of the shielding structure 301. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the number of the first openings 101c is two to eight.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 11, the number of the first openings 101c is two, the first openings 101c are disposed opposite to each other in the radial direction, and the two first openings 101c divide the bottom guard ring 201 into two units that are bilaterally symmetrical. Setting the number of the first openings 101c to two can also reduce the energy loss of the bottom guard ring 201 and the shielding structure 301 to the sensing device better, so as to improve the Q value of the sensing device.
