87235.DOC 200415732 閘極電極202曝露於氧,通常在一氧化程序中或藉由包含 周圍氧的其他程序中。該氧容易藉由該透氧性閘極介電質 202,並氧化在下面的基板201或覆蓋在上面的閘極電極 204。該氧化會形成並不需要的二氧化矽沈積,該沈積會 對該電晶體的性能產生不利影響,甚至可能使該電晶體無 法運作。但是,該薄氧擴散障壁層206覆蓋並密封該透氧 性閘極介電質206的側壁,並防止氧側擴散進入該透氧性 閘極介電質206。 圖3 A至3M依據本發明之一具體實施例,說明了 一形成 電晶體的方法,該電晶體具有一薄氧擴散障壁層以防止藉 由一透氧性閘極電極的氧側擴散。參考圖3 A,複數個場隔 離區域302形成於一基板300上。術語「基板」包括一半導 體晶圓,如單晶矽,以及具有一或更多的絕緣、半絕緣、 導電或半導電層及材料的結構。因此,舉例而言,該術語 包括絕緣體上矽、藍寶石上矽以及其他先進的結構。隔離 區域 302可能是淺溝渠隔離(shallow trench isolation ; STI) 或深溝渠隔離區域,該等區域係由將一溝渠蝕刻入該基板 300内,然後用一沈積氧化物、氮化物或其他介電材料填 充該溝渠而形成。場隔離區域302也可採用其他方法形成, 例如LOCOS,凹陷的LOCOS,或者絕緣體上矽(SOI)等方 法。 該等複數個隔離區域302將具有一導電類型的一井303與 具有其他導電類型的井30 1隔離開來。例如,井303可能係 一 p型導電區域,而井301可能係一 η型導電區域,或相反。
87235.DOC 200415732 一 p型導電井之形成可以藉由:在基板3〇〇中植入劑量為 S.OxlOH/cV而能量*23〇keV的一第一植入物硼原子,接 下來植入劑量為4.2 X 1 〇13/cm2而能量為5〇 keV的一第二植 入物硼離子,以產生具有一濃度為7〇xl〇17/cm3的一 p井。 一 η型導電井之形成可藉由··在一濃度為卜丨^6/^“的矽基 板植入劑量為4xl〇13/cm2而能量為475 keV的一第一植入物 磷原子,植入劑量為2.5xl〇12/cm2而能量為6〇]^¥的一第二 植入物磷原子,以及植入劑量為11〇13/cm2而能量為18〇 keV的一最後植入物砷原子,以產生一具有大約為 7·0χ10 /cm3的一 n型濃度的一 11井。需瞭解的是,可以藉由 熟悉此項技術者所熟知的其他方法形成該p型導電區域以 及η型導電區域。 如圖3Β所示,該方法繼續將一電絕緣層(「介電質」)3料 覆毯式沈積在該基板3〇〇及隔離區域3〇2上,該介電層 對孩氧擴散具有高滲透性,或換言之,係一透氧性的介電 層304。在本發明之一具體實施例中,該透氧性的介電層 3〇4係一高k介電材料,並可以沈積於2人至5〇人厚度範圍内 。覆毯式沈積-層高k介電材料的傳統技#包括喷賤沈積 或蒸發技術。 4術浯「咼k」係一相對術語,其指具有實質上高於二氧 化石夕(Si02),或換言之,實質上高於k=39的—介電常數⑻ 的-材料。用於積體元件形成的範例高k材料包括,金屬氧 化物(Al2〇3、Zr〇2、Hf〇r T1〇2、Y2〇3、La2〇3等)、鐵電 材料(PZT、BST等)、非晶金屬㈣鹽(Hf、Ζί)、非晶石夕酸

87235.DOC 200415732 接下來,如圖3G所示,該方法可繼續將該透氧性介電層 304姑刻至该基板300頂邵及該隔離區域3〇2頂部。該姓刻 化學應使该透氧性介電層3 0 4受到姓刻,而該基板3 〇 〇、閘 極電極318、該隔離區域域302都沒有受到蝕刻。該蝕刻使 藏透氧性介電層304的一部分3 1 9直接位於該閘極電極3 1 8 下方。該介電層304的此部分319也稱為一閘極介電質,而 且具有與該透氧性介電層3〇4相同的材料。位於該閘極電 極318下方的該透氧性介電層的此部分319,在此將稱為 「閘極介電質」,或「透氧性閘極介電質」。在本發明之一 具體實施例中,如以上更為詳細之說明,該透氧性閘極介 電質319包括一高k介電材料。該閘極電極318對齊該蝕刻, 以使該透氧性閘極介電質319的側壁與該閘極電極318的側 壁垂直對齊。為使蝕刻該基板的風險減至最小,濕式蝕刻 比乾式蝕刻更佳。在本發明之一具體實施例中,除直接在 該閘極電極318下方以外,一範例蝕刻化學可以包括一⑽ • 1HF的蝕刻達4〇秒鐘,或直到該透氧性介電層3〇4從該隔 離區域3G2及該基板3⑽的表面上完全移除為止。由於該透 氧丨生閘極;1包貝3 1 9的高擴散性,對於|虫刻透氧性介電層 304 ’應小心不要引進氧,無論其是否因該透氧性閑極介電 質319將曝露,及該氧會側擴散進入該透氧性閘極介電質 319從而作為該程序的一部分而直接引入。 S閘極包極318與該透氧性閘極介電質319共同定義了一 複一構324 ’有時稱為一積體元件如一電晶體的一閘極 結構,或閘極。如圖3G所示,該閘極結構Μ的側壁,開
87235.DOC -13- 200415732 始於該閘極電極3 1 9的頂部邊緣320,沿著該閘極電極3 } 8 與该透氧性閘極介電質3 1 9的側壁之整個長度向下延伸。 接下來,如圖3H所示,一薄抗氧層326覆毯式沈積於該 閘極結構324的頂部並且延著該閘極結構324的整個侧面長 度,包括在(接觸)該閘極電極318及該閘極介電質319側壁 之整個長度上。同時,該薄抗氧層326沈積於該基板3〇〇或 隔離區域域302的任一曝露部分之頂部。該抗氧層326係一 對氧擴政具有阻抗性的材料,也不含有可能從介面擴散進 入該接觸透氧性閘極介電質3丨9的氧分子。換言之,該抗 氧層326對於氧擴教具有高阻抗性,並不含可擴散的氧。 用於該抗氧層326的範例材料係一氮化物,例如氮化矽、 氮化硼、氮化鎂等等,由任何熟知的沈積一薄氮化物薄膜 方法形成。範例的覆毯式沈積方法包括一 btbas (Bistertiarybutylaminosilane)方法,一原子層沈積(at〇mic layerdeP〇sltlon; ALD)方法,或一熱壁(h〇twall)(氨 + 石夕燒) 方法。 在該薄抗氧層326形成期間,正如在上述透氧性介電層 304蝕刻期間,須注意防止將氧引入該程序中,此時該透 氧性閘極介電質319可能會曝露,包括該透氧性介電層3〇4 圖案化期間以及在該薄抗氧層326形成期間。在一實質上 操氧%境下實行該方法的全部或部分如一真空,可以實質 上地限制氧曝露。但是,即使盡最大努力,在該程序中可 能不〉王意而引入微量的周圍氧,而且可能側擴散進入該透 氧性介電層304。因而,可以進一步將沈積該薄抗氧層326
87235.DOC -14- 200415732 的方法取佳化,以防止側氧化,或換言之,防止藉由氧的 側擴散而對該透氧性閘極介電質319下方的該基板3〇〇的區 域327造成氧化。例如,一種沈積該抗氧層326的低溫方法 可能是有好處的,因為該基板300的氧化不太可能在低溫 (如,低於大約650°C )下發生。如果,不知什麼原因偶然引 入一小部分氧,則該低溫減少了對該基板3〇〇之部分327造 成甚至微小氧化的可能性。一 BTBAS方法是有利的,因為 與其他一些方法,比如一通常能在大約8〇(rc溫度下實行 的熱壁方法相比較,其能在大約55〇t與65(rc之間的低溫 下得以貫行。因此,在本發明的一項具體實施例中,可以 使用一 BTBAS方法來沈積該抗氧層326。 一範例方法係一 CVD方法,其可能包括對至少該基板 300之表面、該透氧性閘極介電質319之側面以及該閘極電 極318的側面及頂部進行加熱至大約50(rc與65〇t之間的 溫度,取好是600 C。接下來,在大約T〇rr的壓力下, 氮(NO分子以大約每秒2,000標準立方釐米(sccm),氨(Nh3) 以大約200 seem,及BTBAS以大約每分鐘8〇〇毫克(mgm)同 時流動。該Nr NH;及BTBAS組合以每秒大約认速率形成 氮化矽。该BTBAS方法法、封該抗氧層326至閘極電極31 8及 該閘極介電質3 19的側面。 一熟習此項技術者會發現在本發明的一些具體實施例中 ,沈積該薄抗氧層326的其他低溫方法亦得到有利應用。 同時,需要重點指出的是,如果不知什麼原因,一些氧側 擴散進入該透氧性問極介電質3 1 9,則一低溫方法有利於 87235.DOC -15- 200415732 限制4區域327的氧化,但如果沒有氧侧擴散進入該透氧性 閘極介私負3 1 9,則該高溫方法也可在沈積該抗氧層326中 底用。此外’如果僅微量的氧側擴散進入該透氧性閘極介 私貝3 1 0,則也可應用高溫方法,因為輕微氧化在一定程度 上疋可以接受的。 在本發明之一項具體實施例中,該薄抗氧層應沈積 到足夠厚度以作為對氧的擴散障壁層發揮作用’從而防止 在後績程序中,氧側擴散進入該透氧性閘極介電質319的 >!] 土仁疋該薄抗氧層326不得沈積得太厚以致於干擾 尖端植入物之後續形成’以下對此作進一步詳細說明。因 此,在本發明的—項具體實施财,該薄抗氧層326沈積在 大約2A與300A之間。 接下來’如圖31所示’採用一實質上垂直的、各向異性 的姓刻技術對該薄抗氧層326進行姓刻。一各向星性的蝕 刻技術使用-敍刻化學’其主要在垂直(各向異性)方向上 進行㈣,儘管可能發生少量的水平(各向同性)蚀刻。用 於㈣刻的-範例化學可能係具有一四氟化碳㈣)化學 的一標準氣化物㈣(例如,在一電漿產生器中的CF4H2或 cf4+〇2)。該各向異性的姓刻將該薄抗氧層326從該閉極電 極318之頂部以及該隔離區域如之頂部表面、該基板則 ^大部分頂部表面移除’但迅即移除至該問極結構324兩 則面之-的情形除外。但是,該各向異性姓刻沿該問極電 及Μ透氧性閘極介電質319側壁的整個長度留下該抗 虱層326的一部分330。
87235.DOC -16- 200415732 該部分3 3 0可稱為一「薄抗氧間隔物」,因其在外觀上與 在一電晶體製造過程中通常形成的傳統厚間隔物類似。但 是’一厚間隔物的通常功能係防止向該基板的一特定區域 垂直摻雜雜質,而留在該等側壁上的該部分3 3 〇的功能係 防止氧側擴散進入該透氧性閘極介電質3 19。此外,通常 的厚間隔物可能不一定是抗氧性的,可能包含從介面擴散 的氧,而且形成得更厚。結果,在此,留在該等側壁上的 該邵分3 3 0將稱為一「薄氧擴散障壁層」,因其功能之一係 作為氧擴散的一障壁層而發揮作用。 但疋,该薄氧擴散障壁層3 3 0覆蓋並密封該透氧性閘極 介電質3 1 9的側壁。如果不存在該薄氧擴散障壁層3 3 〇,則 在後續程序中直接應用的氧(〇2、Os等)或存在於大氣中的 周圍氧,會從側面藉由該透氧性閘極介電質31〇内的細孔 隙而進入位於該透氧性閘極介電質31〇下方的矽基板3〇〇, 氧化在通道區域327内的該矽基板,形成二氧化矽沈積。 藉由干擾流經該通道327的電流,該二氧化矽沈爭塑

87235.DOC -18- 200415732 在本發明之-具體實施例中,該等離子以—直接垂直的 角度(90°)植入以形成與該氧擴散障壁層33。之外緣側邊對 月的大吻340。’然後可以實行一快速熱處理(RTp)以驅動位 於該氧擴散障壁層330下方及部分位於該透氧性閘極介電 質319下方的尖端340。 仁疋,一热0此項技術者將認識到可以實行其他方法從 而以90。以外的其他一角度植入該淺尖端34〇。一成角度的 離子植入可能要求一略高的植入能量,因為該離子植入的 角度可能要求該等離子藉由氧擴散障壁層33〇或該透氧性 閘極介電質319的較低部分植入到達位於該氧擴散障壁層 330或該透氧性閘極介電質3 19下面的基板。 接下來,如圖3Κ至3L所示,該方法繼續形成一鄰近或接 觸孩薄氧擴散障壁層330外側壁的厚間隔物344。厚間隔物 344可以由氮化矽構成,或係氮化矽及氧化矽的一組合。在 本發明之一具體實施例中,該厚間隔物344係由一快速熱 氧化方法形成的一氧化物/氮化物/氧化物(〇Ν〇)合成物。 在本發明之另一具體實施例中,該厚間隔物344係一氮化 物/氧化物合成物。可藉由在該隔離區域3〇2、該尖端植入 340、該薄氧擴散障壁層330及該閘極電極31 8上覆毯式沈 積大約在50與100Α之間的一薄氧化層341而形成該氮化物/ 氧化物間隔物,如圖3Κ所示。該氧化層341的覆毯式沈積 可能包括任何熟知的CVD方法,其中包括一BTBAS方法。 將該沈積溫度保持低溫,最好在650°C,是有好處的,如此 可使▲熱此置不打擾該等植入尖端340。接下來,將—5〇〇
87235.DOC -19- 200415732 至1800A的厚氮化矽層342沈積到該氧化層341上。氮化石夕 層可以藉由標準CVD沈積方法形成,包括BTBASa積技術 。再/入保持该沈積溫度較低是有好處的。接下來,各向異 性地蝕刻氮化矽層342及氧化層341以形成厚間隔物344, 如圖3L所示。該厚間隔物344確保一後續的深植入不打擾 在該厚間隔物344下面的該尖端340。因此,如下面圖3Μ< 說明,該厚間隔物344形成至厚與寬得足以防止後續高劑 量深離子植入壓倒該厚間隔物344下方的淺尖端部分34〇。 接下來,如圖3Μ所示,該基板300接受一高劑量的深植 入方法,以形成在該井區域303内的深接面源極/汲極區域 348。該深植入包括植入具有同樣導電類型的離子,用以 形成該等尖端340。例如,如果井303係具有一 ρ型導電性, 則植入一 η型離子,而對於一 η型導電性井,則植入一 ρ型離 子。範例η型離子包括砷與磷,而範例ρ型離子則包括硼。 同時’如果該導電性閘極電極3丨8包括多晶矽,則該深植入 方法能用於在該閘極電極内摻雜多晶矽,如先前未摻雜的 話。在本發明之一具體實施例中,該深植入348形成至 lxl〇19/cm3與5xl02W之間的一濃度及大約〇·ΐ5至0.25微 米的一深度。可以實行一活化退火,以活化該尖端340及深 植入348。可在一氮大氣中,藉由一 rTP,在9〇(TC與1200 °C之間的溫度下,最好是⑺⑼它,實行該退火,大約1〇至 300秒鐘,最好是2〇秒。 由此已說明本發明的數項具體實施例。但是,熟習此項 技術者應明白,本發明不僅限於所述之具體實施例,而可
