Description

半導體元件
本發明係有關於半導體技術領域,特別是有關於一種氧化物半導體(oxide semiconductor, OS)場效電晶體(field effect transistor, FET)半導體元件。
已知,氧化物半導體場效電晶體(OSFET)半導體元件常應用於顯示器中作為薄膜電晶體驅動元件,或者可應用於半導體領域,作為低功率元件或記憶體元件等。
為了使OSFET半導體元件能達到超低漏電流,目前是透過增加OSFET半導體元件的恕限電壓(threshold voltage, Vt)的方式,例如,對背閘極(back gate)施加一負電壓VBG ,且VBG 的絕對值需大於施加於OSFET半導體元件的閘極上的閘極電壓VGE (VGE 通常是正電壓)。
然而,這樣的作法需要設計額外的負高壓電荷泵(negative charge pumps),因而佔據許多晶片面積。
本發明的主要目的在提供一種改良的OSFET半導體元件,可以解決上述先前技藝的不足與缺點。
本發明另一實施例披露一種半導體元件,包含一基底;一源極區域與一汲極區域;一閘極介電層;以及一鐵電材料層,其中該鐵電材料層與該源極區域重疊並與該汲極區域重疊。所述通道層包含氧化物半導體材料,其中,所述氧化物半導體材料包含c-IGZO、a-IGZO或 CAAC-IGZO。
為讓本發明之上述目的、特徵及優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉較佳實施方式,並配合所附圖式,作詳細說明如下。然而如下之較佳實施方式與圖式僅供參考與說明用,並非用來對本發明加以限制者。

當然,亦可採行其他的實施例,或是在不悖離文中所述實施例的前提下作出任何結構性、邏輯性、及電性上的改變。因此,下文之細節描述不應被視為是限制,反之,其中所包含的實施例將由隨附的申請專利範圍來加以界定。
