Description

半導體裝置及其製造方法
本揭露是關於一種半導體裝置及其製造方法。
半導體積體電路(Integrated circuit;IC)產業歷經了快速的成長。積體電路材料及設計的技術進步已生產許多世代的IC,且每一世代都較前一代具有較小及更複雜的電路。在積體電路的演化中,功能密度(即每個晶片面積中交聯裝置的數目)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。尺寸的縮小提供了諸多好處,例如產品效能以及降低成本。而尺寸的縮小亦增加了製程及生產的複雜性。
舉例而言,隨著半導體裝置尺寸逐漸縮小,已採用磊晶(epi)半導體材料實現應變源/汲極(source/drain;S/D)特徵(即應力源區域),以增強載子遷移率並改善裝置性能。形成具有應力源區域的金氧半導體場效電晶體通常會磊晶成長矽(Si)以形成用於n型裝置的凸起源/汲極特徵,並且磊晶成長鍺化矽,以形成用於p型裝置的凸起源/汲極特徵。針對這些源/汲極特徵的形狀、配置和 材料的各種技術已經被實現,以進一步改善電晶體的裝置性能。儘管現有源/汲極的形成方法已普遍足以達成預期的目標,然而這些裝置與方法卻無法完全滿足各方面的所有需求。舉例而言,隨著電晶體的尺寸縮小,源/汲極的接觸電阻已經成為電路性能中日益突出的因素。因此,具有降低的源/汲極接觸電阻以令其能致使降低的功率消耗和更快的電路速度是被期待的。

以下揭露提供眾多不同的實施例或範例,用於實 施本案提供的主要內容之不同特徵。下文描述一特定範例之組件及配置以簡化本揭露。當然,此範例僅為示意性,且並不擬定限制。舉例而言,以下描述「第一特徵形成在第二特徵之上方或之上」,於實施例中可包括第一特徵與第二特徵直接接觸,且亦可包括在第一特徵與第二特徵之間形成額外特徵使得第一特徵及第二特徵無直接接觸。此外,本揭露可在各範例中重複使用元件符號及/或字母。此重複之目的在於簡化及釐清,且其自身並不規定所討論的各實施例及/或配置之間的關係。並且,為使說明簡化及明確,不同特徵亦將任意地以不同尺度繪製。
此外,空間相對術語,諸如「下方(beneath)」、「以下(below)」、「下部(lower)」、「上方(above)」、「上部(upper)」等等在本文中用於簡化描述,以描述如附圖中所圖示的一個元件或特徵結構與另一元件或特徵結構的關係。除了描繪圖示之方位外,空間相對術語也包含元件在使用中或操作下之不同方位。舉例而言,如果在附圖中的裝置被翻轉,則被描述為「下方(beneath)」或「以下(below)」的其它元件或特徵將會被轉向為「上方(above)」的其它元件或特徵。因此,示例性術語「以下(below)」可以包含上方和下方的方位。此裝置可以其他方式定向(旋轉90度或處於其他方位上),而本案中使用之空間相對描述詞可相應地進行解釋。
本揭露的各種實施例一般涉及了半導體裝置及其形成方法。更具體而言,本揭露是關於在包括具有鰭狀通道的場效電晶體(鰭狀場效電晶體)的場效電晶體中形成凸起 源/汲極特徵。在部分實施例中,本揭露提供自多個磊晶特徵合併的凸起源/汲極特徵,且凸起源/汲極特徵各提供一實質上平頂表面。此平坦的頂表面提供比多個並極的個別磊晶特徵更大的接觸面積。當源/汲極接點形成在凸起源/汲極特徵上時,因著大的接觸面積,平坦的頂表面有助於減小源/汲極接點的相應電阻。
第1A圖繪示了依據本揭露的各方面構建的不同實施例的半導體裝置100。半導體裝置100可以是積體電路的製程中所製造出的中介裝置或其中的一部分,其可包括靜態隨機存取記憶體(static random access memory;SRAM)及/或其它邏輯電路,被動元件如電阻器、電容器和電感器,以及主動元件如p型場效電晶體(PFETs)、n型場效電晶體(NFETs)、鰭狀場效電晶體、金氧半導體場效電晶體(metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor;MOSFET)、互補金氧半導體(complementary metal-oxide semiconductor;CMOS)電晶體、雙極型電晶體、高電壓電晶體、高頻電晶體、其它記憶元件及其組合。此外,各種實施例中的各種特徵,包括電晶體、鰭片、閘極堆疊、裝置區域以及其它特徵,是被提供來用於簡化與易於理解,且並不會對這些實施例中超出具體權利範圍的任何裝置的類型、任何裝置的數量、任何區域的數量或者任何結構或區域的配置做出必要的限制。舉例而言,相同的發明概念可以用於製造平面場效電晶體(field-effect transistor;FET)裝置和多閘極場效電晶體裝置。
請參照第1A圖,在本實施例中,半導體裝置100包括一基板102、於基板102之上的隔離結構104以及於基板102之上且突出於隔離結構104的兩個或多個鰭片106(第1A圖中所示的為兩個)。此外,在本實施例中,半導體裝置100包括磊晶特徵122,其包括上部122U以及兩個或更多的下部122L(第1A圖中所示的為兩個)。下部122L設置在相應的鰭片106上方,並且至少部分被鰭狀側壁介電層110環繞。在本實施例中,沿著z方向(一鰭片高度方向),下部122L低於鰭狀側壁介電層110。下部122L藉由上部122U而彼此物性連接。上部122U提供實質上平坦的頂表面124。在一實施例中,頂表面124實質上平行於基板102的頂表面102'。在各種實施例中,上部122U的底表面125可以是平坦的或非平坦的。下面將進一步描述半導體裝置100的各種特徵。
在本實施例中,基板102是矽基板。可變地,基板102可以包括另一元素半導體,諸如鍺;含有碳化矽、砷化鎵、磷化鎵、磷化銦、砷化銦及/或銻化銦的化合物半導體;含有鍺化矽、磷砷化鎵、砷銦化鋁、砷鎵化鋁、磷銦化鎵、磷銦化鎵和/或磷砷銦化鎵的合金半導體;或其組合。在另一變化中,基板102是例如具有掩埋介電層的矽基絕緣體(silicon-on-insulator;SOI)。在實施例中,基板102包括用以形成主動裝置的主動區域,例如p阱和n阱。
鰭片106可以是用於形成p型場效電晶體的p型鰭片或用於形成n型場效電晶體的n型鰭片。鰭片106可以包括與基板102實質上相同的半導體材料。雖第1A圖未示出,但鰭片 106中的各者包括一通道區域與兩個夾著通道區域的源/汲極區域。第1A圖示出了橫越鰭片106的源/汲極區域之一而切割的半導體裝置100的截面圖。鰭片106藉由隔離結構104而分離。隔離結構104可以包括氧化矽、氮化矽、氧氮化矽、氟化矽玻璃(fluorinated silica glass;FSG)、低介電係數介電材料及/或其它合適的絕緣材料。在部分實施例中,隔離結構104可以是淺溝槽隔離(shallow trench isolation;STI)特徵。介電層110設置在隔離結構104之上,且與鰭片106的源/汲極區域相鄰。介電層110至少部分地環繞下部122L。在一實施例中,介電層110包括氮化物,例如氮化矽、氮氧化矽或氮碳化矽。上部122U設置在介電層110和下部122L之上。
在一實施例中,下部122L和上部122U之各者包括摻雜有諸如磷(P)或砷(As)的n型摻雜劑的矽,用以形成n型場效電晶體裝置。此外,上部122U包括一較下部122L高的n型摻雜劑的濃度。在一實例中,上部122U包括矽摻雜有一濃度範圍自每立方公分1e21至每立方公分5e21的磷,而下部122L包括矽摻雜有一濃度範圍自每立方公分1e20至每立方公分1e21的磷。在另一實施例中,下部122L和上部122U之各者包括摻雜有諸如硼(B)或銦(In)的p型摻雜劑的鍺化矽,用以形成p型場效電晶體裝置。在進一步的實施例中,上部122U包括一較下部122L高的p型摻雜劑的濃度。
請參照第1B圖,在一實施例中,半導體裝置100更包括在磊晶特徵122上形成的一接觸特徵126。具體而言,接觸特徵126設置在平頂表面124上。在實施例中,接觸特徵 126可以包括一阻障層126a和一在阻障層126a上的導電層126b。舉例而言,導電層126b可以包括鋁、鎢、銅、鈷、其組合或其它合適的材料;並且阻障層126a可以包括諸如氮化鉭的金屬氮化物,用以防止導電層126b的金屬元素遷移到相鄰的特徵。在各種實施例中,與傳統的結構相比,接觸特徵126和磊晶特徵122之間的接面提供減小的電阻。傳統的磊晶特徵通常具有類似菱形的截面輪廓,並且不是彼此隔離(未合併),就是合併成具有帶有脊和谷的非平頂表面的形狀。在具有傳統磊晶特徵的許多情況下,只有磊晶特徵的部分頂表面(例如脊)與之上的接觸特徵直接相接。相較之下,磊晶特徵122的頂表面124實質上是平坦的,能與接觸特徵126提供比傳統磊晶特徵更大的接面。
請參照第1C圖,在另一實施例中,半導體裝置100包括區域102a和相鄰區域102b。區域102a包括上述的各種特徵(即鰭片106和磊晶特徵122)。區域102b包括鰭片146和在鰭片146上的磊晶特徵152。磊晶特徵152包括下部152L和在下部152L上的上部152U。介電層110至少部分地環繞下部152L。在本實施例中,沿著z方向,下部152L低於鰭狀側壁介電層110。上部152U設置在介電層110上。此外,在本實施例中,半導體裝置100包括與磊晶特徵122和152兩者相接的接觸特徵128。接觸特徵128包括阻障層128a和在阻障層128a上的導電層128b。阻障層128a和導電層128b可以分別具有與阻障層126a和導電層126b相同或相似的組成。在所示的此實施例中,磊晶特徵152具有菱形的截面輪廓,且接觸特徵128的一 部分設置在磊晶特徵152的一側之上。特別是,在此實施例中,接觸特徵128的一部分設置在磊晶特徵122的上部122U和磊晶特徵152的上部152U之間以及磊晶特徵122的上部122U及/或磊晶特徵152的上部152U的最寬部分(沿著x方向)之下。在另一實施例中,區域102b可以包括形狀類似於磊晶特徵122的磊晶特徵,即具有可以在其上設置接觸特徵128的實質上的平坦頂表面。在一實施例中,在區域102a中的特徵形成n型電晶體(如n型金氧半導體),並且在區域102b中的特徵形成p型電晶體(如p型金氧半導體)。在變化實施例中,區域102a中的特徵形成p型電晶體(如p型金氧半導體),並且區域102b中的特徵形成n型電晶體(如n型金氧半導體)。
請參照第1D圖,繪示了在另一實施例中的半導體裝置100的各種尺寸,特別是磊晶特徵122。第1D圖中的上部122U的形狀接近一矩形長條:其頂表面和底表面都是平坦的或幾乎平坦的。在兩個實施例(第1C圖和第1D圖)中的上部122U之間的差異之一是它們的側表面。第1C圖的上部122U具有面向上和向下的傾斜側表面,而第1D圖的上部122U具有接近垂直的側表面。在兩個實施例(第1C圖和第1D圖)中的上部122U之間的另一差異是它們的底表面。第1C圖的上部122U具有面向下的傾斜底表面,而第1D圖的上部122U具有接近平坦(水平)的底表面。在第1D圖所示的實施例中,鰭片106沿著鰭片寬度方向(「x」方向)具有一鰭片節距p。鰭片節距p也是下部122L的節距。在實施例中,鰭片節距p被調節用於製程節點,並且在磊晶特徵122中形成平坦頂表面124。如果鰭片 節距p太小,上部122U可能在磊晶成長過程中過早融合,以致成長成菱形,而不是具有平頂表面的形狀。如果鰭片節距p太大,上部122U可能根本不會合併。在一個例子中,鰭片節距p被調整為在從30奈米(nm)到50奈米的範圍內。
在如第1A圖和第1D圖所示的各種實施例中,上部122U沿著x方向延伸超過下部122L和鰭片106。上部122U具有沿著x方向的尺寸b和沿著鰭片高度方向(z方向)的尺寸h。在實施例中,尺寸b大於尺寸h。舉例而言,尺寸b的範圍自55奈米到75奈米。此外,上部122U延伸超過下部122L(以及兩個鰭片106)的左側和右側的部分可以是不對稱的。在第1D圖所示的實施例中,上部122U延伸超過下部122L的左側的尺寸為b1,右側的尺寸為b2。在部分實施例中,尺寸b1和尺寸b2之中的各者的範圍可以介於10奈米至25奈米之間。
請繼續參照第1D圖,在各種實施例中,介電層110沿著z方向具有高度d,並且高度d的範圍可以介於5奈米到25奈米之間。如下面將討論的,高度d對磊晶特徵122的各種形狀和尺寸有所貢獻。下部122L各自具有沿x方向的寬度c,在下部122L的近半高度處所測。在部分實施例中,寬度c的範圍可以介於6奈米到15奈米。此外,下部122L各自具有沿z方向的高度e。在部分實施例中,高度e的範圍可以從3奈米到15奈米。在部分實施例中,導電層128b具有一寬度g,其範圍可以介於約100奈米至約250奈米之間。導電層128b在其頂部可以比在其底部更寬(即梯形)。導電層128b的一下部自阻障層128a的頂表面向下延伸。此下部設置在磊晶特徵122的上部 122U和磊晶特徵152的上部152U之間,且在部分實施例中,其範圍自20至50奈米的深度f(沿著z方向)。由於導電層128b的此下部的存在,進一步擴大了接觸特徵128和磊晶特徵之間的接面。
第2圖繪示了依據本揭露的各方面構建的形成半導體裝置諸如半導體裝置100)的方法200的方塊圖。方法200是一個例子,並且不用以限制本揭露所超出的權利要求書中明確記載的內容。額外的操作可在方法200的之前、期間以及之後時提供,並且,所述的一些操作在此方法的其他實施例中可以被取代、消除或重置。方法200結合依據本揭露的各個方面的半導體裝置100的透視圖和截面圖的第3圖至第11圖在下面進行敘述。
在操作步驟202中,方法200(第2圖)接收半導體裝置100的前體。為了方便討論,半導體裝置100的前體也稱為半導體裝置100。第3圖繪示了半導體裝置100的透視圖。第4A圖、第4B圖與第4C圖分別繪示了沿著第3圖中的“1-1”、“2-2”和“3-3”線的半導體裝置100的截面圖。“1-1”線於xz平面上切割在鰭片106的源/汲極區域中的半導體裝置100。“2-2”線沿著鰭片106的一長度,於yz平面上切割半導體裝置100。“3-3”線於yz平面上切割在鰭片106外部的半導體裝置100。
請參照第3圖、第4A圖、第4B圖與第4C圖,半導體裝置100包括基板102、於基板102之上的隔離結構104與自基板102延伸並穿過隔離結構104的兩個鰭片106。兩個鰭片 106各自具有源/汲極區106a和插入源/汲極區106a的通道區106b。半導體裝置100更包括接合通道區域106b中的鰭片106的閘極堆疊108。特別是,閘極堆疊108在其多個側面上接合鰭片106,其形成多閘極裝置(在這種情況下為鰭狀場效電晶體)。
鰭片106可以使用包括微影和蝕刻製程的合適製程來製造。微影製程可以包括形成覆蓋基板102的光阻層(抗蝕劑),將抗蝕劑暴露於一圖案,執行曝光後烘烤的製程,以及成長抗蝕劑以形成包括抗蝕劑的遮罩元件。然後,遮罩元件用於將凹陷蝕刻到基板102中,而在基板102上留下鰭片106。蝕刻製程可以包括濕式蝕刻、乾式蝕刻、反應離子蝕刻(reactive ion etching;RIE)及/或其他合適的製程。舉例而言,乾式蝕刻製程可以含氧氣體、含氟氣體(如四氟化碳(CF4)、六氟化硫(SF6)、二氟甲烷(CH2F2)、三氟甲烷(CHF3)及/或乙氟烷(C2F6))、含氯氣體(如氯氣(Cl2)、氯仿(CHCl3)、四氯化碳(CCl4)及/或三氯化硼(BCl3))、含溴氣體(例如氫溴酸(HBr)及/或三溴甲烷(CHBr3))、含碘氣體、其它適合的氣體及/或電漿,及/或其組合來執行。舉例而言,濕式蝕刻製程可以包括在稀釋的氫氟酸(DHF)、氫氧化鉀(KOH)溶液、氨、含有氫氟酸(HF)、硝酸(HNO3)、及/或乙酸(CH3COOH)的溶液、或其它適合的濕蝕刻劑中蝕刻。鰭片106還可以使用雙圖案化微影(double-patterning lithography;DPL)製程形成。有許多形成鰭片106的其它實施例的方法可以是合適的。
隔離結構104可以藉由蝕刻基板102中的溝槽而 形成,即作為鰭片106形成製程的一部分。然後可以用隔離材料填充溝槽,接著進行化學機械研磨(chemical mechanical polishing;CMP)。其它隔離結構例如場氧化物、局部矽氧化技術(LOCal Oxidation of Silicon;LOCOS)及/或其它合適的結構是可能的。隔離結構104可以包括多層結構,例如,具有一個或多個熱氧化物襯層。
閘極堆疊108包括閘極介電層和閘極電極層。閘極介電層可以包括氧化矽或高介電係數介電質材料諸如氧化鉿、氧化鋯、氧化鑭、氧化鈦、氧化釔和鈦酸鍶。閘極介電層可以通過化學氧化、熱氧化、原子層沉積(atomic layer deposition;ALD)、化學氣相沉積(chemical vapor deposition;CVD)和/或其他合適的方法形成。在一實施例中,閘極電極層包括多晶矽,並且可以通過諸如低壓化學氣相沉積(low-pressure chemical vapor deposition;LPCVD)和等離子體增強化學氣相沉積(plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition;PECVD)的合適沉積製程形成。在部分實施例中,閘極電極層包括n型或p型功函數層和金屬填充層。舉例而言,n型功函數層可以包括具有足夠低的有效功函數的金屬,例如鈦、鋁、碳化鉭、氮碳化鉭、氮矽化鉭或其組合。舉例而言,p型功函數層可以包括具有足夠大的有效功函數的金屬,例如氮化鈦,氮化鉭、釕、鉬、鎢、鉑或其組合。舉例而言,金屬填充層可以包括鋁、鎢、鈷、銅及/或其它合適的材料。閘極電極層可以通過化學氣相沉積、物理氣相沉積、電鍍及/或其它合適的製程形成。在部分實施例中,閘極堆疊108 是犧牲閘極結構,即用於最後閘極堆疊的佔位。在部分實施例中,閘極堆疊108包括其閘極介電層與鰭片106之間的介面層。介面層可包括介電材料,例如氧化矽或氮氧化矽,且可藉由化學氧化、熱氧化、原子層沉積、化學氣相沉積及/或其它合適的製程而形成。閘極堆疊108可包括其它層,例如硬遮罩層。
在操作步驟204中,方法200(第2圖)在相應源/汲極區106a中的鰭片106的側壁上形成介電層110。第5A圖、第5B圖與第5C圖分別繪示了在沿著第3圖中的“1-1”、“2-2”和“3-3”線的半導體裝置100在這步驟之後的截面圖。請參照第5A圖、第5B圖與第5C圖,介電層110可以包括單層或多層結構,並且可以包括諸如氮化矽(SiN)或氮氧化矽的介電質材料。介電層110可以藉由化學氣相沉積、等離子體增強化學氣相沉積、原子層沉積、熱沉積或其他合適的方法形成。在本實施例中,介電層110也設置在閘極堆疊108的側壁上。在一實施例中,操作步驟204包括沉積製程,而隨後是蝕刻製程。舉例而言,其可以在半導體裝置100上沉積介電材料作為毯覆層,覆蓋隔離結構104、鰭片106和閘極堆疊108。然後,其可以執行各異向性蝕刻製程以移除部分來自隔離結構104、鰭片106和閘極堆疊108的頂表面的介電質材料,而留下閘極堆疊108與鰭片106的側壁上的介電質材料剩餘部分來作為介電層110。在實施例中,在鰭片106的側壁上的介電層110具有大約5至25奈米的高度。
在操作步驟206中,方法200(第2圖)選擇性地 蝕刻鰭片106的源/汲極區106a,以在其中形成一個或多個溝槽(或凹陷)114。第6A圖與第6B圖分別繪示了在沿著第3圖中的“1-1”、“2-2”和“3-3”線的半導體裝置100在這製造步驟之後的截面圖。請參照第6A圖與第6B圖,在本實施例中,鰭片106在隔離結構104的一頂表面下被蝕刻。操作步驟206可以包括一個或多個微影製程和蝕刻製程。舉例而言,微影製程可以形成覆蓋半導體裝置100的不傾向被蝕刻的區域的遮罩元件。遮罩元件提供開口,鰭片106藉由其開口而被蝕刻。鰭片106可以藉由乾式蝕刻製程、濕式蝕刻製程或其他蝕刻技術來蝕刻。在本實施例中,蝕刻製程被選擇性地調整以移除鰭片106的材料,而閘極堆疊108、介電層110和隔離結構104實質上保持不變。操作步驟206形成四個溝槽114,以在閘極堆疊108的各側上形成兩個的形式。各溝槽114可具有錐形截面輪廓(在xz平面中),其具有在其底部比在其頂部更寬的開口。在蝕刻製程之後,一清潔製程可以執行,其用清潔化學品清潔溝槽114,以使其中的各個表面能預備好用於隨後的磊晶成長製程。清潔化學品可以是氫氟酸(hydrofluoric acid;HF)溶液、稀釋的氫氟酸溶液或其他合適的清潔溶液。
在操作步驟208中,方法200(第2圖)在四個溝槽114中成長四個磊晶特徵122L(即上文所述之磊晶特徵122的下部122L之前身,為了方便討論,也稱為磊晶特徵122L),以在各溝槽中具有一個(第7A圖與第7B圖)的形式。磊晶特徵122L部分地填充相應的溝槽114。磊晶成長製程可以是具有矽基前體、選擇性磊晶成長(selective epitaxial growth; SEG)製程或循環沉積和蝕刻(cyclic deposition and etching;CDE)製程的低壓化學氣相沉積製程。舉例而言,矽晶體可以用低壓化學氣相沉積製程,以二氯矽烷(SiH2Cl2)作為前體生長。再舉另一例而言,鍺化矽晶體可以使用鹽酸作為蝕刻氣體以及四氫化鍺(鍺烷)和氫氣的氣體混合物來作為循環沉積和蝕刻製成的沉積氣體來形成,其在氫氣中包含約1%至約10%的四氫化鍺。介電層110的高度被調整以促進磊晶特徵122L的成長到期望的高度,而不具太多的橫向成長。在各種實施例中,磊晶特徵122L被成長為具有一高度,其範圍自3奈米到15奈米之間。磊晶特徵122L包括適於形成凸起源/汲極特徵的半導體材料。在一實施例中,磊晶特徵122L包括摻雜有一種或多種p型摻雜劑(例如硼或銦)的鍺化矽。在一實施例中,磊晶特徵122L包括摻雜有一種或多種n型摻雜劑(例如磷或砷)的矽。此摻雜可以利用臨場摻雜或非臨場摻雜的磊晶成長製程進行。
在操作步驟210中,方法200(第2圖)在磊晶特徵122L上方成長磊晶特徵122U(即上文所述之磊晶特徵122的上部122U之前身,為了方便討論,也稱為磊晶特徵122U)。在本實施例中,磊晶特徵122U是用與磊晶特徵122L相同的半導體材料生長,但摻雜劑濃度不同。舉例而言,磊晶特徵122L和122U可以各自包括摻雜有n型摻雜劑的矽,而磊晶特徵122U具有更高的n型摻雜劑濃度。再舉例而言,磊晶特徵122L和122U可以各自包括摻雜有p型摻雜劑的鍺化矽,但磊晶特徵122U具有更高的p型摻雜劑濃度。類似於磊晶特徵122L的形 成,磊晶特徵122U可以使用低壓化學氣相沉積製程、選擇性磊晶成長製程或循環沉積和蝕刻製程的技術形成。
如第8A圖與第8B圖所示,磊晶特徵122U填充在相應的溝槽114中的剩餘空間中,並且,一旦它們從相應的溝槽114伸出,就進一步橫向擴展。隨著磊晶特徵122U變得更高和更寬,它們開始合併。如第8A圖所示,其是沿著第3圖中的“1-1”線的半導體裝置100的截面圖。第8B圖繪示了沿著第3圖中的“2-2”線的半導體裝置100在這步驟的截面圖。請參照第8A圖,磊晶特徵122U合併為一連接的磊晶特徵,為了方便討論,也稱其為磊晶特徵122U。此外,在此製造階段,磊晶特徵122U尚未具有平頂表面。反而,其具有帶有一凹陷116的曲頂表面115。本揭露的發明人已經發現,在相同的磊晶成長條件下,持續成長磊晶特徵122U可能不會導致其具有平頂表面。
在操作步驟212中,方法200(第2圖)改變磊晶特徵122U的成長條件,並且持續生長磊晶特徵122U以具有實質上平坦的頂表面124,如第9A圖所示,其是沿著第3圖中的“1-1”線的半導體裝置100的截面圖。第9B圖繪示了沿著第3圖中的“2-2”線的半導體裝置100在這步驟的截面圖。在一實施例中,當個別磊晶特徵122U開始合併且合併磊晶特徵122U達到目標臨界尺寸(CD)時,方法200從操作步驟210切換至操作步驟212。舉例而言,當其尺寸b(第1D圖)達到一定值(如,節距p的至少1.5倍),或者當其在凹陷116的底部處的厚度h1達到某一值(如第8A圖所示),例如自期望尺寸h 的1/4到1/3。在一實施例中,當h1為大約5到10奈米時,方法200從操作步驟210切換到操作步驟212。
在一實施例中,操作步驟212使用與操作步驟210不同的沉積前體或不同的蝕刻氣體。在另一實施例中,操作步驟212使用與操作步驟210(在類型或數量上)不同的蝕刻氣體,但使用相同的沉積前驅物。不同的沉積前體或蝕刻氣體導致在凹陷116(第8A圖)中的晶體生長(或沉積)比在磊晶特徵122U的其他區域中更多的晶體生長(或沉積)。換句話說,雖然半導體材料也在磊晶特徵122U的側表面和底表面上生長(或沉積),但是其頂表面115上的生長(或沉積)要快得多。如此,凹陷116被相應的半導體材料(例如,矽或鍺化矽)填充,並且磊晶特徵122U被成長為具有實質上平坦的頂表面124。
在一實施例中,操作步驟210使用二氯矽烷(dichlorosilane;SiH2Cl2,也稱為DCS)作為前體成長磊晶特徵122U以形成矽晶體。為了進一步描述實施例,操作步驟212向前體中添加矽烷,以便在凹陷116中具有較高的生長(或沉積)速率。在一實施例中,矽烷是SiH4。在一實施例中,操作步驟212中矽烷與二氯矽烷的比率在約0.005至約0.05的範圍內。在另一實施例中,操作步驟210使用鹽酸作為蝕刻氣體以及四氫化鍺和氫氣的氣體混合物作為沉積氣體來成長磊晶特徵122U,以形成鍺化矽晶體。為了進一步描述實施例,操作步驟212減少鹽酸的流速,使得鍺化矽在凹陷116中比在磊晶特徵122U的其他區域更快地沉積。在一實施例中,操作 步驟212中的鹽酸流速範圍為每分鐘自約100至約400標準立方厘米(sccm)。藉由操作步驟208、210和212,半導體裝置100設置有具有實質上平坦的頂表面124的凸起源極/汲極特徵122。在各種實施例中,操作步驟210和212可以是在自200至350托的壓力下和在自650至720℃的溫度下執行。
在操作步驟214中,方法200(第2圖)進行到進一步的操作步驟以形成最後的裝置。這包括各種過程。在一個例子中,矽化物或鍺矽化物會形成在磊晶特徵122U上。舉例而言,矽化物,如矽化鎳,可以藉由在磊晶特徵122U上沉積金屬層,對金屬層進行退火,使得金屬層與磊晶特徵122U中的矽反應以形成金屬矽化,且其後除去未反應的金屬層,而形成。
在另一例子中,操作步驟214用最後的閘極堆疊108a代替閘極堆疊108,如第10圖所示。為了進一步描述此例子,閘極堆疊108是具有虛設閘極介電層(如氧化矽)和虛設閘極電極層(如多晶矽)的佔位,而閘極堆疊108a是具有一高介電係數閘極介電層、一適當的n型或p型功函數層和一金屬填充層的高介電係數金屬閘極。高介電係數閘極介電層、功函數層和金屬填充層可以使用參照第3圖所述的合適材料。為了進一步描述此例子,操作步驟214可以在基板102上沉積低介電係數介電層130以覆蓋其上的形貌。介電層130可以包括諸如四乙氧基矽烷(tetraethylorthosilicate;TEOS)氧化物、摻雜或未摻雜的矽酸鹽玻璃、熔融石英玻璃(FSG)和/或其它合適的介電質材料的材料。介電層130可以通過等離子體增強 化學氣相沉積製程,可流動化學氣相沉積製程(FCVD)或其他合適的沉積技術來沉積。在部分實施例中,一具有諸如氮化矽的介電質材料的接觸蝕刻停止層(未示出)可以被沉積在低介電係數介電層130下方。在已經沉積了介電層130之後,操作步驟214移除閘極堆疊108,且使用一個或一個以上的沉積製程形成最後的閘極堆疊108a以代替閘極堆疊108。
在另一例子中,操作步驟214在磊晶特徵122U上形成源/汲極接觸特徵126或128,並且電性連接到磊晶特徵122U,如第11圖所示。這包括各種過程。舉例而言,操作步驟214可以執行一個或多個微影製程和蝕刻製程以形成穿過介電層130的接觸孔。接觸孔暴露磊晶特徵122U(或其上的矽化物或鍺矽化物)。在一實施例中,接觸孔在磊晶特徵122U的最寬部分下方延伸,如第1C圖和第1D圖所示。之後,操作步驟214在接觸孔的底部和側壁上沉積阻障層(如126a或128a),以防止源/漏極接觸特徵126或128的金屬材料擴散到相鄰特徵中。阻障層包括介電材料,例如在一個例子中的氮化鉭。隨後,操作步驟214沉積金屬層(如126b或128b)以填充接觸孔中的剩餘空間。在本實施例中,源/汲極接觸特徵126或128包括阻障層和金屬層。阻障層和金屬層的沉積可以使用共形或非共形的沉積製程。在這兩種情況下,源/汲極接觸特徵126或128與下面的磊晶特徵122U之間的大的介面導致了磊晶特徵122U的實質上平坦的頂表面124。此一大的介面有利地降低了源/汲極接觸電阻。
儘管不意欲對此進行限制,本揭露的一或多個實 施例為半導體裝置及其形成提供了許多益處。例如,凸起源/汲極特徵可以成長為具有實質上平坦的頂表面。實質上平坦的頂表面在源/汲極特徵和設置在其上的源極/汲極接觸之間提供大的界面。大界面可以用共形或非共形的源/汲極接觸沉積來實現,而簡化了製造製程。在本揭露的實施例中,源/汲極特徵的幾何形狀可以藉由在某個製造階段改變磊晶成長條件來調整。本揭露的各種實施例可以容易地整合到現有的製造製程中。
