Description
開示される実施例は、多層側壁スペーサを有するMOSトランジスタを含む、金属酸化物半導体(MOS)トランジスタを含む、半導体処理及び集積回路(IC)デバイスに関する。 The disclosed examples relate to semiconductor processing and integrated circuit (IC) devices, including metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistors, including MOS transistors with multilayer sidewall spacers.
半導体ウエハを処理する一方で、後に堆積される又は形成されるフィルムが取り除かれるときエッチストップ層として機能し得るフィルムを堆積又は形成することがしばしば有利である。しかし、そのフィルムが後の処理の間充分なエッチング耐性を有さない場合、このようなフィルムは意図せず取り除かれ得る。 While processing a semiconductor wafer, it is often advantageous to deposit or form a film that can function as an etch stop layer when the film that is later deposited or formed is removed. However, if the film does not have sufficient etching resistance during the subsequent treatment, such a film can be unintentionally removed.
意図しない除去の一例は、MOSトランジスタのための薄いシリコンナイトライド側壁(又はオフセット)スペーサに関与する。薄いシリコンナイトライド側壁スペーサは、一般に、半導体表面への軽くドープされたドレイン(LDD)注入とゲートスタックとの間の空間を提供するためのインプラントマスクとして用いられる。典型的なプロセスフローは、まずオフセットスペーサとして機能し、その後、SiGeを含むディスポーザブルな第2の側壁スペーサなどの、付加的なフィルムが頂部上に堆積される間、下部層/エッチストップとして用いられる第1のスペーサ層を有し、これは後に取り除かれる。一つのプロセスフローにおいて、第2の側壁スペーサを取り除くために熱リン酸(HPA)が用いられる。しかし、ビスーターシャリーブチルアミノシラン(bis−tertiarybutylamino−silane:BTBAS)及びアンモニア試薬から形成されるシリコンナイトライドスペーサでさえ(なお、BTBASベースのシリコンナイトライドはHPAに最もウェットエッチング耐性があるシリコンナイトライドフィルムであると知られている)、ディスポーザブルなSiGe第2の側壁スペーサが取り除かれるとき、必ずしもHPAエッチングを止めることは可能であるとは限らない。特に、シリコンナイトライド側壁スペーサが、H2又はN2を含有するプラズマなど、還元剤に曝される場合、エッチストップ特性は失われ得、シリコンナイトライドオフセット側壁スペーサの意図しない除去、及びその結果、ゲート、ソース、及びドレイン上にその後堆積されるシリサイドに起因するなど、ゲート及びソース及び/又はドレイン間の後続の短絡となり得る。また、半導体デバイスのサイズが縮小されるにつれて、ゲートスタックの頂部とソース/ドレイン領域の頂部表面との間の距離が低減され、ゲートスタックの側壁上に形成するシリサイドに起因する電気的短絡の可能性が増大する。 An example of unintended removal involves a thin silicon nitride side wall (or offset) spacer for a MOS transistor. Thin silicon nitride side wall spacers are commonly used as implant masks to provide space between lightly doped drain (LDD) injections onto the semiconductor surface and the gate stack. A typical process flow first acts as an offset spacer and then is used as a bottom layer / etch stop while an additional film, such as a disposable second side wall spacer containing SiGe, is deposited on the top. It has a first spacer layer, which is later removed. In one process flow, thermal phosphoric acid (HPA) is used to remove the second side wall spacer. However, even silicon nitride spacers formed from bis-tertiary butylaminosilane (BTBAS) and ammonia reagents (BTBAS-based silicon nitrides are the most wet-etch resistant silicon nitrides for HPA. It is not always possible to stop HPA etching when the disposable SiGe second sidewall spacers (known to be films) are removed. Especially when the silicon nitride side wall spacer is exposed to a reducing agent such as plasma containing H2 or N2, the etch stop property can be lost and the silicon nitride offset side wall spacer is unintentionally removed and, as a result, the gate. Subsequent short circuits between the gate and the source and / or drain, such as due to VDD subsequently deposited on the source and drain. Also, as the size of the semiconductor device is reduced, the distance between the top of the gate stack and the top surface of the source / drain region is reduced, allowing for electrical short circuits due to silicides formed on the sidewalls of the gate stack. Increases sex.
開示される実施例は、多層側壁スペーサを用いる金属酸化物半導体(MOS)トランジスタのための薄い側壁スペーサの上述の意図しない除去に対する解決策を記載する。第2の誘電性材料を形成するため少なくとも1つの要素を付加することにより第1の材料を含む第1の側壁スペーサの頂部表面を化学的に変換することにより、第2の材料は、第1のスペーサ材料に較べてエッチング耐性を実質的に増大させ得る。その結果、第1のスペーサ上のディスポーザブルな第2のスペーサの後続の除去は、第2の誘電性材料がエッチストップとして機能し得るため第1のスペーサを取り除かないか、又は第1のスペーサの第1の誘電体材料のための少なくとも何らかのエッチング保護を提供し得る。 The disclosed examples describe solutions to the above-mentioned unintended removal of thin side wall spacers for metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistors using multilayer side wall spacers. By chemically transforming the top surface of the first side wall spacer containing the first material by adding at least one element to form the second dielectric material, the second material is made of first material. Etching resistance can be substantially increased as compared with the spacer material of. As a result, subsequent removal of the disposable second spacer on the first spacer does not remove the first spacer because the second dielectric material can act as an etch stop, or the first spacer It may provide at least some etching protection for the first dielectric material.
1つの開示される実施例が、ゲート誘電体上のゲート電極を含むゲートスタックを、その上に有する基板の半導体表面上に第1の誘電体材料を堆積することを含む、集積回路を製造する方法を含む。第1の誘電体材料は、RIEを用いるなど、ゲートスタックの側壁上に側壁スペーサを形成するためエッチングされる。第1の誘電体材料の頂部表面が、表面変換された側壁スペーサを提供するため少なくとも1つの要素を付加することにより第2の誘電体材料に化学的に変換される。第2の誘電体材料は、遷移領域にわたって)第1の誘電性材料に化学的に結合される。 One disclosed embodiment manufactures an integrated circuit comprising depositing a first dielectric material on a semiconductor surface of a substrate having a gate stack comprising a gate electrode on the gate dielectric. Including methods. The first dielectric material is etched to form side wall spacers on the side walls of the gate stack, such as by using RIE. The top surface of the first dielectric material is chemically transformed into the second dielectric material by adding at least one element to provide a surface-transformed side wall spacer. The second dielectric material is chemically bonded to the first dielectric material (over the transition region).
表面変換された側壁スペーサを形成することに続いて、ゲートスタックの横の半導体表面に軽くドープされたドレイン(LDD)を形成するためイオン注入が続き得る。その後、表面変換された側壁スペーサ上に第2のスペーサが形成される。その後、ゲートスタックの横にソース及びドレインが形成される。第2のスペーサを形成した後ゲートスタックの横の半導体表面にソース及びドレインを形成するためにイオン注入を用いることができる。代替として、SiGe S/Dプロセス(例えば、典型的にPMOS領域に窪みが形成され、SiGeで置換される)のために第2の側壁スペーサを用いることができる。第2のスペーサはその後、ソース/ドレイン形成後に選択的に取り除かれ得る。化学的に変換された層の表面は、第1の誘電体材料が表面変換された層により保護されるように、選択的エッチング後も元のままである。 Following the formation of the surface-transformed side wall spacers, ion implantation may follow to form a lightly doped drain (LDD) on the semiconductor surface beside the gate stack. After that, a second spacer is formed on the surface-transformed side wall spacer. The source and drain are then formed beside the gate stack. Ion implantation can be used to form the source and drain on the semiconductor surface beside the gate stack after forming the second spacer. Alternatively, a second side wall spacer can be used for the SiGe S / D process (eg, recesses typically formed in the MIMO region and replaced by SiGe). The second spacer can then be selectively removed after source / drain formation. The surface of the chemically transformed layer remains intact after selective etching so that the first dielectric material is protected by the surface transformed layer.
図1は、例示の一実施例に従って、表面変換された側壁スペーサを含むMOSトランジスタを有するICデバイスを製造するための例示の方法100における工程を示すフローチャートである。ステップ101が、ゲート誘電体上のゲート電極を含むゲートスタックを、その上に有する基板の半導体表面上に第1の誘電体材料を堆積することを含む。ステップ102が、RIEを用いるなど、ゲートスタックの側壁上に側壁スペーサを形成するため第1の誘電体材料をエッチングすることを含む。
FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a process in an exemplary method 100 for manufacturing an IC device having a MOS transistor including a surface-transformed side wall spacer according to an exemplary embodiment. Step 101 comprises depositing a first dielectric material on the semiconductor surface of a substrate having a gate stack comprising a gate electrode on the gate dielectric.
ステップ103が、表面変換された側壁スペーサを提供するため少なくとも1つの要素を付加することにより第1の誘電体材料の頂部表面を第2の誘電体材料に化学的に変換させることを含む。第2の誘電体材料は、遷移領域にわたって第1の誘電性材料に化学的に結合される。側壁スペーサの化学的に変換された頂部表面は、第2の誘電性材料を形成するため少なくとも1つの要素を付加することによりエッチストップとなり、これは、熱リン酸(HPA)エッチングなどに対し、変換されていない第1の誘電性材料と較べて、フィルムのウェットエッチング耐性を実質的に増大させる。一実施例において付加される要素は炭素である。別の実施例において、炭素及び酸素両方が付加される。
一つの特定の例において、第1の誘電性材料は、BTBAS派生のシリコンナイトライドを含み、シリコンカーバイド(SiC)、シリコンカーボナイトライド(SiCN)、及び/又はシリコンオキシカーボナイトライド(SiOCN)フィルムを含む第2の誘電性材料の、典型的に10〜20オングストロームの厚みの、薄い層を形成するシリコンナイトライドの頂部表面に炭素が付加される。これは、予めゲートスタック側壁として用いられたBTBASシリコンナイトライドフィルムを、後続のディスポーザブルなスペーサフィルムを堆積する前に、概して300℃〜800℃の温度、及び約0.1〜10Torrの圧力で、15〜600秒間又はそれ以上の間、30〜3000seemまでの流量のエチレン、アセチレン、又は同様の炭化水素ガスに曝すことにより成される。実行された試験において、SiC、SiCN、又はSiOCNが形成され、これらは全て、215℃を下回る温度のHPAエッチングに大きく影響されないことが分かった。HPAは概して120℃〜180℃の温度で用いられるため、下にあるシリコンナイトライド側壁スペーサは、第2の誘電性材料により保護される。 In one particular example, the first dielectric material comprises BTBAS-derived silicon nitride, including silicon carbide (SiC), silicon carbonitride (SiCN), and / or silicon oxycarbonoxide (SiOCN) film. Carbon is added to the top surface of the second dielectric material, which forms a thin layer, typically 10 to 20 angstrom thick. This is a BTBAS silicon nitride film previously used as a gate stack sidewall at a temperature of generally 300 ° C. to 800 ° C. and a pressure of about 0.1-10 Torr before depositing the subsequent disposable spacer film. It is accomplished by exposure to ethylene, acetylene, or similar hydrocarbon gases at flow rates up to 30-3000 seam for 15-600 seconds or longer. In the tests performed, SiC, SiCN, or SiOCN were formed, all of which were found to be significantly unaffected by HPA etching at temperatures below 215 ° C. Since HPA is generally used at temperatures between 120 ° C and 180 ° C, the underlying silicon nitride side wall spacer is protected by a second dielectric material.
明らかなプロセス差異のほかに、共に化学的に結合されている開示される表面変換された側壁スペーサのための第2の誘電体材料の第1の誘電体材料に対する関係は、第1の誘電性材料上の第2の誘電体材料の気相成長(例えば化学気相成長)に起因する既知の配置とは異なり、第2の誘電体材料は、比較的弱いファン・デル・ワールスの力により第1の誘電体材料に取り付けられるようになる。また、開示される化学的変換プロセスに本質的に起因して、第2の誘電体材料のエリアは、第1の誘電性材料のエリアと整合する。これに対し、第1の誘電性材料上の第2の誘電体材料の気相成長に起因する既知の配置では、第2の誘電体材料のエリアは、スペーサ形成のために必要とされるエッチングプロセスに起因して第1の誘電体材料のエリアと比較して異なり得る。 In addition to obvious process differences, the relationship of the second dielectric material for the disclosed surface-transformed side wall spacers, which are both chemically bonded, to the first dielectric material is the first dielectric property. Unlike known arrangements due to vapor deposition (eg, chemical vapor deposition) of the second dielectric material on the material, the second dielectric material is seconded by the relatively weak van der Waals force. It will be attached to the dielectric material of 1. Also, due essentially to the disclosed chemical conversion process, the area of the second dielectric material is consistent with the area of the first dielectric material. In contrast, in a known arrangement due to vapor deposition of the second dielectric material on the first dielectric material, the area of the second dielectric material is the etching required for spacer formation. Due to the process, it may differ compared to the area of the first dielectric material.
ステップ104が、ゲートスタックの横の半導体表面に軽くドープされたドレイン(LDD)を形成するためイオン注入することを含む。CMOSプロセスでは、PMOSトランジスタ及びNMOSトランジスタは概して各々、個別のLDD注入を受ける。ステップ105が、表面変換された側壁スペーサ上に第2のスペーサを形成することを含む。ステップ106が、ゲートスタックの横にソース及びドレインを形成することを含む。第2のスペーサを形成した後、ゲートスタックの横の半導体表面にソース及びドレインを形成するためにイオン注入を用いることができる。典型的なCMOSプロセスでは、PMOSトランジスタ及びNMOSトランジスタは各々個別のソース/ドレイン注入を受ける。しかし、代替として、第2の側壁スペーサは、SiGe S/Dプロセス(例えば、典型的にPMOS領域に窪みが形成され、SiGeで置換される)に用いることもできる。ステップ107が、ソース/ドレイン形成(ステップ106)後第2のスペーサを選択的に取り除くことを含む。化学的に変換された層の表面は、第1の誘電体材料が表面変換された層により保護されるように、選択的エッチング後も元のままである。 Step 104 involves ion implantation to form a lightly doped drain (LDD) on the semiconductor surface beside the gate stack. In a CMOS process, a MOSFET transistor and an NMOS transistor generally each undergo a separate LDD injection. Step 105 comprises forming a second spacer on the surface-transformed side wall spacer. Step 106 involves forming sources and drains beside the gate stack. After forming the second spacer, ion implantation can be used to form the source and drain on the semiconductor surface beside the gate stack. In a typical CMOS process, a MOSFET transistor and an NMOS transistor each undergo a separate source / drain injection. However, as an alternative, the second side wall spacer can also be used in a SiGe S / D process (eg, a recess typically formed in the MIMO region and replaced by SiGe). Step 107 comprises selectively removing the second spacer after source / drain formation (step 106). The surface of the chemically transformed layer remains intact after selective etching so that the first dielectric material is protected by the surface transformed layer.
