Description

半導體裝置及其製造方法
本揭露是有關於半導體裝置,且特別是有關於半導體裝置的結構及其製造方法。
半導體積體電路(IC)產業已經歷指數成長。在IC材料和設計的技術進步下已生產許多世代的IC,且每一世代都較前一代具有較小和更複雜的電路。在IC進化的過程中,功能密度(即每個晶片面積中交連裝置的數目)普遍隨著幾何尺寸(即一次製程所能創造最小的組件(或線))的減小而增加。尺度縮小製程提供了增加生產效率和減少相關成本的效益。此類尺度縮小也增加製造和生產IC的複雜度。
舉例來說,當半導體裝置(例如:金氧半場效電晶體(MOSFETs))經過多個技術世代的尺度縮小時,已設置應變型(Strained)源/汲極特徵來增加載子移動率並改善裝置效能。形成具有應變型源/汲極特徵之MOSFET的一種方法成長磊晶矽以形成具有突起源/汲極特徵的N型裝置,並成長磊晶矽鍺以形成具有突起源/汲極特徵的P型裝置。已實施針對這些源/汲極特徵的形狀、外型、材料的各種技術來進一步改革電晶體裝置的效能。雖然現有方法對於其所需目 的通常已足夠,仍然無法完全滿足所有面向。

[圖2]是繪示根據本揭露各種態樣的一種形成半導體裝置之方法的方塊流程圖。
[圖3]是繪示根據圖2之方法的一實施例的半導體裝置在製作之中間步驟的透視圖。
[圖4]、[圖5A]、[圖5B]、[圖6]、[圖7]、[圖8]和[圖9]是繪示根據一實施例並根據圖2之方法形成一標的半導體裝置的剖面圖。

以下揭露內容提供許多實施例或具體例,使所提供客體的各種特徵得以據以實現。下述的特定具體例的構件及排列是為了簡化本揭露的內容。這些內容當然僅是具體例,並無意成為限制。例如:在說明書中,第一特徵形成在第二特徵之上或上方,可包含有直接接觸的第一特徵和第二特徵的實施例,也可包含在第一和第二特徵之間形成額外特徵以致第一特徵和第二特徵沒有直接接觸的實施例。另外,本揭露可以在各種具體例中重複元件符號及/或字母。此重複的目的是為了簡化和明確,並不表示所討論的各種實施例及/或配置之間具有任何關係。
再者,本文使用之空間相對性的用語,例如「下方(beneath)」、「在...之下(below)」、「低於(lower)」、「在...之上(above)」、「高於(upper)」等,是為了易於描述圖式中一個元件或特徵相對於其他元件或特徵。空間相對性的用語除了包含圖式所繪示的方位外,更包含元件在使用或操作時的不同方位。裝置也可以其他方式定向(旋轉90度或在其他方向),而本文使用之空間相對性的描述也可以如此解讀。
本揭露一般是關於半導體裝置和形成半導體裝置的方法。特別是,本揭露是關於形成突起的源/汲極特徵 在場效應電晶體中,其中場效應電晶體包含鰭式場效應電晶體(Fin-like FETs;FinFETs)。在本揭露的一態樣中,將兩個或兩個以上突起的源/汲極特徵合併成一個較大且具有彎曲(或不平坦)上表面的源/汲極特徵。彎曲的上表面可比平坦的上表面提供源/汲極的接觸窗結構較大的表面積。再者,突起的源/汲極特徵在其各自的下部分被介電層(或薄膜)包圍。介電層保護突起的源/汲極特徵,以避免在閘極置換製程中金屬材料的潛在汙染。
圖1繪示根據本揭露各種態樣的一種半導體裝置100。半導體裝置100可為積體電路製造過程中之一中間裝置或此中間裝置的一部分,其可包含靜態隨機存取記憶體(SRAM)及/或邏輯迴路、如電阻、電容和電感之被動元件,以及如P型場效應電晶體(PFETs)、N型場效應電晶體(NFETs)、FinFET、MOSFET、互補式金屬氧化半導體(CMOS)電晶體、雙載子電晶體、高電壓電晶體、高頻率電晶體、其他記憶元件,及其組合之主動元件。
請參照圖1,半導體裝置100包含各種裝置區。特別是,其包含P型裝置區101P和N型裝置區101N。裝置區101P是適當地配置以形成PFETs,而裝置區101N是適當地配置以形成NFETs。這些各種裝置區是形成在一共同基材102內或上方。隔離結構104是設置在基材102上。各種鰭片從基材102延伸出並穿透過隔離結構104。這些各種鰭片包含形成PFETs的兩個P型鰭片106p及形成NFETs的兩個N型鰭片106n。雖然未繪示於圖1中,每一個鰭片106p 和106n包含通道區和夾住通道區的二個源/汲極區。圖1是繪示切過源/汲極區之裝置100的剖面視圖。
請仍參照圖1,半導體裝置100更包含分別在鰭片106p和106n之源/汲極區上之突起的源/汲極特徵116和122。在一實施例中,源/汲極特徵116包含p型摻雜矽鍺,而源/汲極特徵122包含n型摻雜矽。每一個源/汲極特徵116包含上部分116U和下部分116L。每一個源/汲極特徵122包含上部分122U和下部分122L。在此實施例中,下部分116L和122L係部分位於隔離結構104中,部分位於隔離結構104上。從俯視觀之,上部分116U和122U比其各自的下部分116L和122L具有較大面積,以提供較小的源/汲極接觸電阻。在此實施例中,上部分116U是彼此分開的。上部分122U合併成一具有彎曲的上表面124的大型源/汲極特徵123。在此剖面視圖中,彎曲的上表面124在接近其中心處具有一凹陷。當源/汲極接觸面共形地沉積在源/汲極特徵123上時,彎曲的上表面124提供大的接觸面積,以進一步減少源/汲極接觸電阻。
請仍參照圖1,半導體裝置100更包含介電層110,介電層110是設置在隔離結構104上且鄰近於鰭片106p和106n之源/汲極區。介電層110包圍源/汲極的下部分116L和122L。在一實施例中,在形成源/汲極特徵116和122後,半導體裝置100經過閘極置換製程。閘極置換製程可引起金屬材料滲漏至合併的源/汲極特徵123下方的空間。在此狀況下,介電層110保護源/汲極特徵122不被金屬 材料所汙染。再者,在製造過程中,介電層110的高度可用來調整源/汲極特徵116和122的高度和尺寸。在一實施例中,介電層110包含如氮化矽、氮氧化矽或氮化碳矽的氮化物。
圖2呈現根據本揭露的各種態樣形成半導體裝置100之實施例的方法200的方塊流程圖。方法200是一個例示,其並無意圖限制本揭露超出已明確敘述的申請專利範圍。可在方法200之前、中途、之後提供額外的操作,而為了額外的實施例,有些在此所述的操作可替換、刪除或移動順序。根據一些實施例,以下配合圖3~9描述方法200,圖3~9是半導體裝置100之透視圖和剖面圖。
在操作202中,方法200(圖2)取得半導體裝置100(圖3)的前驅物。為了討論方便,半導體裝置100的前驅物也可稱為半導體裝置100,或簡稱為裝置100。請參照圖3,裝置100包含具有各種結構形成在其中或其上的基材102。在本實施例中,基材102是一矽基材。或者,基材102可包含其他半導體元素,如鍺;包含如碳化矽、砷化鎵、磷化鎵、磷化銦、砷化銦及/或銻化銦的半導體化合物;包含如SiGe、GaAsP、AlInAs、AlGaAs、GaInAs、GaInP及/或GaInAsP的半導體合金;或其組合。在又一種選擇中,半導體基材102包含如埋入介電層的絕緣層上覆半導體(Semiconductor-On-Insulator;SOI)。基材102包含如p井和n井的主動區,以形成主動裝置。
請仍參照圖3,二個鰭片(或凸出部)106p從在P 型裝置區101P中的基材102中延伸出,而二個鰭片106n從在N型裝置區101N的基材102中延伸出。鰭片106p和106n分別適合形成P型和N型FinFET。在所示之實施例中,每一個鰭片106p和106n是一細長的凸出物,並縱向位於「y」方向。二個鰭片106p是並排設置,而二個鰭片106n是並排設置。這四個鰭片106p和106n彼此被設置在基材102上的隔離結構104所隔離。
可使用包含光學微影和蝕刻製程之適當的製程來製作鰭片106p和106n。光學微影製程可包含:形成光阻層(光阻)在基材102上;曝光光阻至一圖案;進行曝光後烘烤(Post-Exposure Bake)製程;並對光阻顯影以形成包含此光阻的罩幕元件。然後,使用此罩幕元件來蝕刻多個凹陷部至基材102中,而留下鰭片106p和106n在基材102上。蝕刻製程可包含乾式蝕刻、濕式蝕刻、反應性離子蝕刻(Reactive Ion Etching;RIE)、及/或其他合適製程。例如:乾式蝕刻製程可施加含氧氣體、含氟氣體(如:CF4、SF6、CH2F2、CHF3、及/或C2F6)、含氯氣體(如:Cl2、CHCl3、CCl4、及/或BCl3)、含溴氣體(如:HBr及/或CHBR3)、含碘氣體、其他合適的氣體及/或電漿、及/或其組合。例如:濕式蝕刻可包含在稀釋氫氟酸(DHF)、氫氧化鉀(KOH)水溶液、氨水、含氫氟酸(HF)的水溶液、硝酸(HNO3)及/或醋酸(CH3COOH)或其他合適的濕式蝕刻劑中進行蝕刻。在一實施例中,鰭片106p和106n可包含磊晶半導體層。
隔離結構104可由氧化矽、氮化矽、氮氧化矽、摻雜氟之矽玻璃(FSG)、低介電常數介電材料及/或其他合適的絕緣材料所形成。在一實施例中,隔離結構104的形成是:蝕刻多個溝渠於基材102中(如:為上述鰭片形成製程的一部分);以隔離材料填充溝渠;進行化學機械平坦化(CMP);及使隔離材料凹陷以暴露出鰭片106p和106n。亦可使用如場氧化層、區域矽氧化(LOCal Oxidation of Silicon;LOCOS)及/或其他合適結構的其他隔離結構。隔離結構104可包含多層結構,例如:具有一或多個熱氧化襯墊層。
請仍參照圖3,裝置100更包含設置在隔離結構104上的二個閘極堆疊108p和108n。閘極堆疊108p接合通道區的鰭片106p並穿越其寬度(沿著「x」方向)。結果是,鰭片106p的二個源/汲極區是設置在閘極堆疊108p之相對兩側。類似地,閘極堆疊108n接合通道區中的鰭片106n。閘極堆疊108p和108n可各包含閘極介電層、閘極電極層及一或多個附加層。在一實施例中,閘極堆疊108p和108n是犧牲閘極結構(或虛設閘極),即為最終閘極堆疊的佔位(Placeholder)。
圖4為繪示沿著圖3中的線1-1和線2-2觀之的裝置100的剖面圖。特定地,線1-1和線2-2分別於x-z平面中橫切過鰭片106p和106n之一個源/汲極區。請參照圖4,在所示之實施例中,每一個鰭片106p和106n具有從底部部分(在基材102上)漸縮到頂部部分(遠離基材102)的剖面外 型。在以下討論中,圖5A、6、7、8和9係以如圖4所示之相同的剖面圖來繪示裝置100。
在操作204中,方法200(圖2)形成介電層110在各自的源/汲極區中之鰭片106p和106n的側壁上。請參照圖5A,介電層110可包含單層或多層結構,且可包含如氮化矽或氮氧化矽的介電材料。介電層110可以由化學氣相沉積(CVD)、電漿輔助化學氣相沉積(PECVD)、原子層沉積(ALD)、熱沉積或其他合適的方法所形成。在本實施例中,介電層110也設置在閘極堆疊108p和108n的側壁上,如圖5B所示,圖5B為繪示沿著圖3中的線3-3觀之的裝置100的剖面圖。在一實施例中,操作204包含其後接著是蝕刻製程的沉積製程。例如,操作204沉積介電材料在裝置100上為毯覆層,覆蓋隔離結構104、鰭片106p和106n及閘極堆疊108p和108n。然後,操作204進行非等向性蝕刻製程,以從隔離結構104、鰭片106p和106n和閘極堆疊108p和108n的上表面移除部分介電材料,而留下在鰭片106p和106n及閘極堆疊108p和108n之側壁上之介電材料的其餘部分做為介電層110。
在操作206中,方法200(圖2)選擇性地蝕刻鰭片106p的源/汲極區,以形成溝渠(或凹陷)114於其中。請參照圖6,當罩幕元件112覆蓋裝置區101N時,蝕刻鰭片106p。罩幕元件112可被一或多次光學微影製程和蝕刻製程所形成。可使用乾式蝕刻製程、濕式蝕刻製程或其他蝕刻技術來蝕刻鰭片106p。當閘極堆疊108p、介電層110和隔離 結構104實質上維持不變時,選擇性地調整蝕刻製程以移除鰭片106p的材料。在本實施例中,鰭片106p的源/汲極區被凹陷至低於隔離結構104的上表面。操作206不會蝕刻被閘極108p所覆蓋之鰭片106p的通道區(圖3)。操作206形成四個溝渠114,其中閘極堆疊108p的每一側上有二個溝渠。每一個溝渠114具有錐狀(Tapered)的剖面外型(在x-y平面上),其中底部的開口較其頂部的開口寬。雖未繪示,從俯視(在x-y平面上)觀之,每一個溝渠114具有矩形外觀。在蝕刻製程之後,進行清洗過程,其使用氫氟酸水溶液、稀釋的氫氟酸水溶液或其他合適的清洗劑清洗溝渠114。
在操作208中,方法200(圖2)在四個溝渠114中生長出四個P型摻雜源/汲極特徵116,其中在每一個溝渠中有一個P型摻雜源/汲極特徵。請參照圖7,源/汲極特徵116包含下部分116L和在下部分上的上部分116U。下部分116L填充溝渠114,因此與溝渠114共形(圖6)。上部分116U在介電層110上方,且往側向和向上擴張。在此實施例中,上部分116U在x-z平面上一般為鑽石狀。四個源/汲極特徵116U並未合併(即彼此分開)。在其他實施例中,在閘極堆疊108(圖3)之同側的二個源/汲極特徵116U合併成一大型源/汲極特徵。源/汲極特徵的合併與否是由二個溝渠114(圖6)間的間距、介電層110的高度、源/汲極特徵116的結晶面以及源/汲極特徵116的成長速度和成長時間所控制。在一實施例中,源/汲極特徵116包含矽鍺(SiGe),其中矽鍺是由一或多次磊晶成長製程所形成。磊晶成長製程可 為低壓化學氣相沉積製程(LPCVD)或選擇性磊晶成長製程(SEG)。又,此一或多次磊晶成長製程可對成長的SiGe原位(In-situ)摻雜如硼或銦之P型摻雜物,以形成P型裝置的摻雜SiGe特徵。
在操作210中,方法200(圖2)選擇性地蝕刻鰭片106n的源/汲極區,以形成溝渠(或凹陷)118於其中。請參照圖8,從裝置區101N中移除罩幕元件112。其他罩幕元件120是形成在裝置區101P上,並覆蓋其上的各種特徵。然後,當閘極堆疊108n、介電層110和隔離結構104實質上保持不變時,使用選擇性地調整的蝕刻製程來蝕刻鰭片106n,以移除鰭片106n的材料。在此所示的實施例中,鰭片106n的源/汲極區被凹陷至低於隔離結構104的上表面。鰭片106n的通道區(其被閘極108n(圖3)所覆蓋)不會被操作210所蝕刻。蝕刻製程可為乾式蝕刻製程、濕式蝕刻製程或其他蝕刻技術。操作210形成四個溝渠118,其中閘極堆疊108n的每一側上各有二個溝渠。每一個溝渠118具有錐狀的剖面外型,其中底部的開口較頂部的開口寬。雖未繪示,從俯視觀之(在x-y平面上),每一個溝渠118具有矩形外觀。在蝕刻製程之後,可進行清洗過程,其使用氫氟酸水溶液、稀釋的氫氟酸水溶液或其他適合的清洗劑清洗溝渠118。
在操作212中,方法200(圖2)在四個溝渠118生長四個N型摻雜源/汲極特徵122,其中在每一個溝渠中有一個N型摻雜源/汲極特徵。請參照圖9,每一個源/汲極特 徵122包含下部分122L和在下部分上的上部分122U。下部分122L填充溝渠118,因此與溝渠118共形(圖8)。上部分122U在介電層110上方,且往側向和向上擴張。在此實施例中,上部分122U在x-z平面中一般為鑽石狀。再者,在閘極堆疊108n(圖3)之同側的每二個上部分122U合併為一個合併的源/汲極特徵123。源/汲極特徵122的合併是由溝渠118的間距(圖8)、介電層110的高度、源/汲極特徵122的結晶面以及源/汲極特徵122的成長速度和成長時間所控制。在此實施例中,想要源/汲極特徵122的合併是因為其提供了源/汲極的接觸窗結構較大的表面積,藉以降低源/汲極的接觸電阻。又,控制源/汲極特徵122的成長時間,以使合併的源/汲極特徵123可被提供有彎曲的上表面124。如源/汲極特徵122過度成長,合併的源/汲極特徵123可能會具有平坦的上表面。彎曲的上表面124會比平坦的上表面可提供源/汲極接觸窗結構較大的表面積。圖10A、10B和10C繪示合併的源/汲極特徵123的一些實施例。
請參照圖10A,彎曲的上表面124包含在合併的源/汲極特徵123之中心的凹陷。在此實施例中,合併的源/汲極特徵123之中心是沿著「y」方向的中心線,且平行於鑽石狀之源/汲極特徵122U的稜線。請參照圖10B和10C,彎曲的上表面124包含一個凹陷,此凹陷在接近二個上部分122U的中心,其中上部分122U可為規則形或不規則形。在一實施例中,凹陷的深度「D」是介於5奈米至20奈米之間,而凹陷的寬度「W」是介於10奈米至50奈米之間。 如上述之討論,凹陷的尺寸(D和W)可在磊晶成長製程中被控制。
在一實施例中,源/汲極特徵122包含在一或多次磊晶成長製程中形成的矽。磊晶成長製程可以是低壓化學氣相沉積製程或選擇性磊晶成長製程。再者,一或多次磊晶成長製程可對成長的矽原位摻雜如磷或砷或其組合等N型摻雜物,以形成N型裝置的摻雜矽特徵。
在操作214中,方法200(圖2)繼續進行其他步驟,以完成裝置100的製作。在一例示中,方法200使用各種蝕刻和沉積製程來形成源/汲極接觸面(或插塞)在源/汲極特徵116和123上。例如:方法200使用蝕刻製程或剝離製程來移除罩幕元件120。然後,沉積蝕刻中止層,此蝕刻中止層覆蓋閘極堆疊108p和108n、源/汲極特徵116和122和隔離結構104。在一實施例中,蝕刻中止層包含氮化矽,且可使用ALD、CVD或其他合適的方法來沉積。接著,方法200使用PECVD、流動式化學氣相沉積、或其他合適的方法來沉積內層介電層(ILD)在蝕刻中止層上。內層介電層可包含如四乙氧基矽烷(tetraethyl orthosilicate)、未摻雜的矽玻璃的材料或如硼磷矽玻璃(borophosphosilicate glass)、熔融矽石玻璃(fused silica glass)、磷矽酸鹽玻璃(phosphosilicate glass)、摻雜硼的矽玻璃等摻雜的氧化矽,及/或其他合適的介電材料。接著,繼續進行方法200來蝕刻穿透內層介電層和蝕刻中止層的接觸孔,以暴露出源/汲極特徵116和123的上表面。方法200形成源/汲極接觸面 在接觸孔中。源/汲極接觸面可包含鎢(W)、鈷(Co)、銅(Cu)或其他金屬元素、金屬氮化物或其中的組合,且可利用CVD、PVD、電鍍及/或其他合適的製程形成。合併的源/汲極特徵123因為彎曲的上表面124而有利於提供源/汲極接觸面大的表面積。在一實施例中,方法200可形成矽化(silicidation)或矽鍺化(germanosilicidation)特徵在源/汲極接觸面與源/汲極特徵116和123之間。
在閘極堆疊108p和108n做為最終閘極堆疊的佔位(虛設閘極)的實施例中,方法200更進行閘極置換製程,以最終閘極堆疊分別取代閘極堆疊108p和108n。閘極置換製程包含蝕刻和移除閘極堆疊108p和108n,並沉積金屬閘極層接合鰭片106p和106n的通道區。在一具體例中,金屬閘極包含界面層、閘極介電層、功函數金屬層和金屬填充層。界面層包含如氧化矽(SiO2)或氮氧化矽(SiON)的介電材料,且可利用化學氧化、熱氧化、原子層沉積、化學氣相沉積及/或其他合適的技術形成。閘極介電層包含如二氧化鉿(HfO2)、二氧化鋯(ZrO2)、氧化鑭(La2O3)、二氧化鈦(TiO2)、氧化釔(Y2O3)、鈦酸鍶(SrTiO3)、其他合適金屬氧化物或其組合的高介電常數介電層。可使用原子層沉積及/或其他合適的方法形成閘極介電層。功函數金屬層可為p型或n型功函數層。p型功函數層包含氮化鈦(TiN)、氮化鉭(TaN)、釕(Ru)、鉬(Mo)、鎢(W)、鉑(Pt)或其組合。n型功函數層包含鈦(Ti)、鋁(Al)、碳化鉭(TaC)、鉭碳氮化物(TaCN)、鉭矽氮化物(TaSiN)或其組合。可使用化學 氣相沉積、物理氣相沉積及/或其他合適製程沉積包含複數層的功函數金屬層。金屬填充層包含鋁(Al)、鎢(W)、鈷(Co)、銅(Cu)及/或其他適合材料。可使用化學氣相沉積、物理氣相沉積、電鍍及/或其他合適製程形成金屬填充層。在閘極置換製程中各種蝕刻、清洗和沉積操作時,過度蝕刻閘極堆疊108p和108n支腳的介電層110(圖5B)可引起最終閘極堆疊的金屬材料滲漏至源/汲極區。在本實施例中,在源/汲極特徵116和122側壁的介電層110分別保護源/汲極特徵不被滲漏的金屬材料所汙染。
雖然無意成為限制,本揭露的一或多個實施例提供許多半導體裝置和其形成的效益。舉例來說,磊晶特徵可以選擇性地被生長在P型及/或N型裝置區,且選擇性地被合併成具有彎曲上表面的大型源/汲極磊晶特徵。彎曲的上表面提供源/汲極接觸窗結構一較大面積,藉此減少源/汲極接觸電阻。再者,磊晶特徵的底部部分被介電層所包圍。介電層保護磊晶特徵,以避免因為金屬擠壓所造成的潛在汙染。甚至,本揭露實施例可以結合現有的製作流程。
