Background
In the semiconductor structure, in order to achieve conduction between semiconductor devices, the source and drain of the transistor are electrically connected to an external circuit through a source contact plug and a drain contact plug, respectively.

Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more apparent, the technical solutions in the disclosed embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art would obtain without making any inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and features of the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined with each other.
In a typical semiconductor structure, a transistor includes a gate electrode and source and drain electrodes located on both sides of the gate electrode, and the gate electrode of the transistor is used to control the on and off of a current path between the source and drain electrodes. The source and drain of the transistor are typically located in the substrate and are covered by a dielectric layer during the fabrication of the semiconductor structure. Therefore, the transistor needs to be additionally provided with a source contact plug and a drain contact plug, which penetrate through the dielectric layer and are respectively connected with the source and the drain of the transistor, so that the transistor is connected with an external circuit through the source contact plug and the drain contact plug.
Since the source and drain of a transistor are typically symmetrically disposed on both sides of the gate, in current semiconductor structures, source and drain contact plugs are typically also symmetrically disposed on both sides of the gate. As the size of the transistor is continuously reduced, the sizes of the source contact plug and the drain contact plug are also reduced, so that the contact resistances of the source contact plug, the drain contact plug and the transistor are increased, the current requirement of the transistor is difficult to support, and the performance of the semiconductor structure is deteriorated. However, increasing the size of the source contact plug and the drain contact plug may generate a larger coupling capacitance between the source contact plug and the gate and between the drain contact plug and the gate, and the coupling capacitance increases to affect the response speed of the transistor to the signal, which may cause a problem of response delay of the transistor.
The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a semiconductor structure and a method for fabricating the same, in which the dimensions of a source contact plug and a drain contact plug in a first extension direction are increased, the dimensions of the source contact plug and the drain contact plug in a second extension direction are smaller, one ends of the source contact plug and the drain contact plug, which are smaller in dimensions, are disposed toward a gate electrode, the contact area of the source contact plug and a source region and the contact area of the drain contact plug and a drain region are increased, and the contact resistance of the semiconductor structure is reduced, but the coupling area between the source contact plug and the gate electrode and the coupling area between the drain contact plug and the gate electrode are unchanged, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the semiconductor performance due to the coupling capacitance of the source contact plug and the gate electrode, and the drain contact plug and the gate electrode.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a semiconductor structure is provided, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the semiconductor structure includes a substrate 100, the substrate 100 having an active region 110, the active region 110 including a source region 111 and a drain region 112. The semiconductor structure further includes a gate 130, a source contact plug 200, and a drain contact plug 300, the gate 130 being disposed on the active region 110 between the source region 111 and the drain region 112, the gate 130 having a first extension direction D1 and a second extension direction D2 on a plane parallel to the substrate 100, the first extension direction D1 being perpendicular to the second extension direction D2. The source contact plug 200 is connected to the source region 111, and a projection size of a side of the source contact plug 200, which is close to the gate 130, in the second extension direction D2 is smaller than a projection size of the source contact plug 200 in the first extension direction D1. Drain contact plug 300 is connected to drain region 112, and the projected size of the side of drain contact plug 300 adjacent to gate 130 in second extension direction D2 is smaller than the projected size of drain contact plug 300 in the first extension direction.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the gate 130 is disposed on the active region 110, the active region 111 is disposed in the active region 110 on one side of the gate 130, the top surface of the active region 110 extends downward, and the drain region 112 is disposed in the active region 110 on the other side of the gate 130, and the top surface of the active region 110 extends downward. In a plane parallel to the substrate 100, the gate 130 extends in a first extension direction D1 and a second extension direction D2, and the gate 130 passes through the active region 110 in the second extension direction D2.
In this embodiment, source contact plug 200 is disposed on source region 111 in contact with source region 111, drain contact plug 300 is disposed on drain region 112 in contact with drain region 112, and source contact plug 200 and drain contact plug 300 may be disposed symmetrically or asymmetrically with respect to gate 130. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the side of the source contact plug 200 having a smaller projection is disposed toward the gate 130, and the coupling area between the source contact plug 200 and the gate 130 is smaller. The side of the drain contact plug 300, on which the projection is smaller, is disposed toward the gate electrode 130, and the coupling area between the drain contact plug 300 and the gate electrode 130 is smaller.
The semiconductor structure of the present embodiment increases the dimensions of the source contact plug 200 and the drain contact plug 300 in the first extending direction D1, and respectively sets the side of the source contact plug 200 and the drain contact plug 300 with smaller projection dimensions toward the gate 130, so as to avoid increasing the coupling area between the source contact plug 200 and the gate 130 and the coupling area between the drain contact plug 300 and the gate 130, thereby reducing the contact resistance of the semiconductor structure, and ensuring that the coupling capacitance between the source contact plug 200 and the gate 130 and between the drain contact plug 300 and the gate 130 is not increased, and ensuring that the semiconductor structure has good response speed.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 7, the source contact plug 200 includes at least one first source contact 210, and a first included angle α1 is formed between an extension direction of the first source contact 210 and a second extension direction. The first included angle α1 may be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle. The first angle α1 is, for example, 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, 90 °, 120 °, 135 °, or 150 °.
The coupling capacitance between the source contact plug 200 and the gate 130 and the coupling area between the source contact plug 200 and the gate 130 are positively correlated, and the coupling area between the source contact plug 200 and the gate 130 is the projected area formed on the gate 130 on the side of the gate 130 where the source contact plug 200 is close to. In this embodiment, by transferring the first included angle α1, the projected area formed on the gate 130 at the side of the gate 130 close to the source contact plug 200 is smaller than the actual area at the side of the gate 130 close to the source contact plug 200, so that the coupling capacitance between the source contact plug 200 and the gate 130 can be reduced, and the delay effect of the coupling capacitance between the source contact plug 200 and the gate 130 on the semiconductor structure can be reduced.
As shown in fig. 1-7, in some embodiments, the source contact plug 200 includes more than two first source contacts 210, for example, the source contact plug 200 may include two first source contacts 210, three first source contacts 210, five first source contacts 210, or six first source contacts 210. The source contact plug 200 is formed by connecting two or more first source contact portions 210 in parallel, and the first source contact portions 210 are connected in parallel, so that the total resistance of the source contact plug 200 can be reduced, and the operating current of the semiconductor structure can be increased.
According to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 7, the drain contact plug 300 includes at least one first drain contact portion 310, and the extending direction of the first drain contact portion 310 has a second included angle α2 with the second extending direction D2. The second included angle α2 may be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle. Illustratively, the second included angle α2 may be 30 °, 45 °, 60 °, 90 °, 120 °, 135 °, or 150 °. The first angle α1 and the second angle α2 may be the same or different.
Through the transfer of the second included angle α2, the projected area formed on the gate 130 at the side of the gate 130 close to the drain contact plug 300 is smaller than the actual area at the side of the gate 130 close to the drain contact plug 300, so that the coupling capacitance between the drain contact plug 300 and the gate 130 can be reduced, and the delay effect of the coupling capacitance between the drain contact plug 300 and the gate 130 on the semiconductor structure can be reduced.
As shown in fig. 1 to 7, the drain contact plug 300 includes more than two first drain contacts 310, for example, the drain contact plug 300 may include two first drain contacts 310, three first drain contacts 310, five first drain contacts 310, or six first drain contacts 310. In the semiconductor structure of this embodiment, the drain contact plug 300 is formed by the first drain contact portions 310 arranged in parallel, and the first drain contact portions 310 are connected in parallel, so that the total resistance of the drain contact plug 300 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the working current of the semiconductor structure.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 7, the number of the first source contact portions 210 of the source contact plug 200 is the same as the number of the first drain contact portions 310 of the drain contact plug 300, for example, the source contact plug 200 includes three first source contact portions 210, and the drain contact plug 300 includes three first drain contact portions 310; alternatively, the source contact plug 200 includes four first source contact portions 210, and the drain contact plug 300 includes four first drain contact portions 310. Moreover, the first included angle α1 and the second included angle α2 are equal, for example, the first included angle α1 and the second included angle α2 may be 15 °, 25 °, 55 ° or 90 °. The at least one first drain contact 310 and the at least one first source contact 210 are symmetrically disposed with respect to the gate 130.
It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of the first source contact portions 210 of the source contact plug 200 and the number of the first drain contact portions 310 of the drain contact plug 300 may be different, and the first included angle α1 and the second included angle α2 may be different. For example, the source contact plug 200 includes four first source contacts 210, and the drain contact plug 300 includes three first drain contacts 310, and for another example, the first angle α1 is 60 °, and the second angle α2 is 45 °.
In some examples, referring to fig. 3-7, the angle between the extension direction of the first source contact 210 and the second extension direction D2 is 90 °. That is, the first source contact 210 extends along the first extending direction D1, the first source contact 210 is disposed perpendicular to the gate 130 at one side of the gate 130, and the first included angle α1 is equal to 90 °.
Each first source contact 210 includes a first side 211 proximate to the gate 130 and a second side 212 distal from the gate 130.

As shown in fig. 3, in some examples, a projection of the second side 212 formed on the substrate 100 is located within the source region 111. In other examples, as shown in fig. 4, the projection of the second side 212 formed on the substrate 100 is flush with the edge of the source region 111 remote from the gate 130.
As shown in fig. 3 to 7, the projected size of the first side surface 211 in the second extension direction D2 is smaller than the projected size of the first source contact 210 in the first extension direction D1, increasing the contact resistance of the first source contact 210 and the source region 111, and decreasing the contact resistance of the source contact plug 200 and the gate 130, so as to increase the operating current of the semiconductor structure.
In some examples, as shown in fig. 3-6, the projection of the first source contact 210 on the substrate 100 is in the shape of a bar.
In other examples, as shown in fig. 7, the projection of the first source contact 210 on the substrate 100 is trapezoidal, the projection of the first side 211 on the substrate 100 corresponds to a short side of the trapezoid, and the projection of the second side 212 on the substrate 100 corresponds to a long side of the trapezoid. The projection of the first source contact 210 on the substrate 100 is trapezoidal, and the size of the first source contact 210 gradually increases along the direction away from the gate 130, so that the contact area between the first source contact 210 and the source region 111 can be further increased, the contact resistance between the source contact plug 200 and the source region 111 can be reduced, and the coupling capacitance between the source contact plug 200 and the gate 130 can not be increased.
In some examples, as shown in fig. 1, 3, 4, and 7, when the source contact plug 200 includes a plurality of first source contacts 210, horizontal distances between the first sides 211 of the plurality of first source contacts 210 and the gate 130 are the same. The source contact plug 200 includes four first source contacts 210, each of which has a horizontal distance L1 from the gate 130 to the first source contact 210, and each of which has an equal projected area on the substrate 100.
In some examples, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the horizontal distances between the first sides 211 of the plurality of first source contacts 210 and the gate 130 are different, and the horizontal distance between one or more of the plurality of first source contacts 210 and the gate 130 is greater than the horizontal distance between the remaining first source contacts 210 and the gate 130 to reduce the coupling capacitance between a portion of the first source contacts 210 and the gate 130.
The present example is described with the source contact plug 200 including four first source contacts 210. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the horizontal distance between two first source contacts 210 of the four first source contacts 210 and the gate 130 is a first distance L1, and the horizontal distance between the other two first source contacts 210 and the gate 130 is a second distance L2, and the first distance and the second distance L2 are different. In some examples, as shown in fig. 5, the projected area of each first source contact 210 formed on the substrate 100 is the same. In other examples, as shown in fig. 6, the projected area of each first source contact 210 formed on the substrate 100 is different to fully utilize the top surface area of the source region 111 and increase the contact area of a portion of the first source contact 210 and the source region 111.
In some embodiments, as shown with reference to fig. 3-7, the angle between the extension direction of the first drain contact 310 and the second extension direction D2 is 90 °. That is, the first drain contact 310 extends along the first extending direction D1, the first drain contact 310 is disposed perpendicular to the gate 130 at the other side of the gate 130, and the second included angle α2 is equal to 90 °.
Referring to fig. 3-7, each first drain contact 310 includes a third side 311 adjacent to the gate 130 and a fourth side 312 remote from the gate 130. A projection of each first drain contact 310 formed on substrate 100 is located within drain region 112. Wherein the projection of fourth side 312 onto substrate 100 is located within drain region 112 or the projection of fourth side 312 onto substrate 100 is flush with the edge of drain region 112 away from gate 130.
The projected size of the third side surface 311 in the second extending direction D2 is smaller than the projected size of the first drain contact portion 310 in the first extending direction D1, which increases the size of the first drain contact portion 310 in the first extending direction D1, increases the contact resistance between the first drain contact portion 310 and the drain region 112, and further decreases the contact resistance between the drain contact plug 300 and the gate 130, so as to increase the operating current of the semiconductor structure.
In some examples, as shown in fig. 3-6, the projection of the first drain contact 310 on the substrate 100 is in the shape of a bar.
In other examples, as shown in fig. 7, the projection of the first drain contact 310 on the substrate 100 is trapezoidal, the projection of the third side 311 on the substrate 100 corresponds to the short side of the trapezoid, and the projection of the fourth side 312 on the substrate 100 corresponds to the long side of the trapezoid. When the drain contact plug 300 includes the plurality of first drain contacts 310, the horizontal distances between the third sides 311 of the plurality of first drain contacts 310 and the gate 130 may be the same or different, and the projected areas of the plurality of first drain contacts 310 formed on the substrate 100 may be the same or different.
In the semiconductor structure of this embodiment, the drain contact plug 300 includes a plurality of first drain contact portions 310, and the third side 311 with the smaller area of the first drain contact portions 310 is disposed towards the gate 130, so as to increase the contact area between the drain contact plug 300 and the drain region 112, reduce the contact resistance of the semiconductor structure, ensure that the operating current of the semiconductor structure can meet the operating requirement during the operation of the semiconductor structure, and avoid the increase of the coupling capacitance caused by the increase of the coupling area between the drain contact plug 300 and the gate 130, and reduce the delay effect of the coupling capacitance between the drain contact plug 300 and the gate 130 on the semiconductor structure.
