BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. In particular, a semiconductor device capable of reducing contact resistance by forming a buffer layer of germanium having a bandgap energy smaller than silicon between a silicon substrate and a landing plug to reduce the energy barrier of the MS junction. It is a technique relating to the manufacturing method of.
As semiconductor devices become more integrated and faster, the size of the overall device is smaller, and as a result, the size of the contact plug in contact with the source / drain regions of the transistor is also reduced. As the size of the contact plug decreases, the contact resistance Rc between the silicon substrate and the contact plug increases. This deteriorates the current characteristics of the device and becomes a factor that inhibits the speed of the device.
There are the following ways to solve this problem. First, the size of the contact plug is increased. This is a difficult aspect since the space margin is decreasing as the device is highly integrated. Second, there is a method of increasing the impurity doping concentration on the contact surface between the silicon substrate and the contact plug. Third, there is a method of reducing the height of the energy barrier layer between the contact plug and the silicon substrate.

The tungsten (W) layer has a relatively high resistivity of about 20 mu OMEGA cm or more and thus has a limit in lowering contact resistance. In general, since the contact resistance is proportional to the specific resistance ρ / contact area Ac, it is necessary to decrease the specific resistance ρ or increase the contact area Ac to lower the contact resistance.
Here, the specific resistance is proportional to exp (height of energy barrier / sqrt (impurity concentration)), and in the above-described prior art, the height of the energy barrier is reduced by using a titanium silicide layer formed between the landing plug and the active region. Due to this, although the contact resistance is lowered, as the high integration of the device is intensified, a lower contact resistance is required.

Here, the thickness of the silicon layer is formed in a ratio of 2: 1 to the barrier metal layer, the silicon layer is formed to a thickness of 200Å, the barrier metal layer is formed of a titanium (Ti) layer to a thickness of 100Å The buffer layer and the silicon layer are formed by a selective epitaxial growth method, the heat treatment process is performed by a rapid heat treatment (RTA) method, and the heat treatment process is performed at a temperature of 700 to 900 ° C. for 20 seconds to 1 degree. Characterized in that it is carried out for minutes.
The forming of the landing plug may include forming an interlayer insulating layer on the entire surface of the landing plug; Selectively etching the interlayer insulating layer to form a contact hole exposing the source / drain region; Forming the buffer layer and the silicon layer on the bottom of the contact hole; Forming a barrier metal layer on the contact hole sidewalls; Reacting the silicon layer and the barrier metal layer to form the metal silicide layer by a heat treatment process; And embedding a tungsten layer in the contact hole and planarizing the tungsten layer until the interlayer insulating film is exposed.

4 is a diagram illustrating the effect of the present invention, and shows an energy band of an NMOS transistor.
Referring to FIG. 4, both silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) have a work function similar to titanium silicide (TiSi 2) as a Group 4 element. That is, titanium silicide (TiSi2) has a work function of 4.9V and silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) of about 4.8V.
The energy bandgap Eg of silicon (Si) is 1.12V and the energy bandgap Eg of germanium (Ge) is 0.67V, and the energy bandgap of germanium (Ge) is about 0.5V smaller than that of silicon (Si).
Due to this characteristic, an MS junction is formed between germanium (Ge) and titanium silicide (TiSi2) as compared to the formation of a metal junction (silicon junction) (silicon junction) between silicon (Si) and titanium silicide (TiSi2). The height H and the width W of the energy barrier are reduced.
That is, the energy barrier is reduced by 0.25V from the height H1 of 0.6V to the height H2 of 0.35V, and thus the width W is also reduced to increase the tunneling current. In addition, as the height decreases, the current due to thermal emission also increases. Accordingly, the contact resistance Rc may be reduced as a whole by reducing the specific resistance ρ of the contact.
