Description

電晶體的隔離結構
基於鰭片之場效應電晶體(finFET)中之源極/汲極區域係自鰭片結構之側表面及其上形成有鰭片結構之半導體基板的頂表面生長。在操作期間,可能在源極/汲極區域與半導體基板之間形成寄生接面電容,此會使finFET之效能降級。
以下揭示內容提供用於實施所提供標的之不同特徵的許多不同實施例或實例。以下描述部件及佈置之特定實例以簡化本揭示案。當然,此些僅為實例,且並不意欲為限制性的。舉例而言,在以下描述中第一特徵在第二特徵之上形成可包括其中第一特徵及第二特形成為直接接觸之實施例,且亦可包括其中可形成在第一特徵與第二特徵之間的額外特徵而使得第一特徵與第二特徵不直接接觸的實施例。
另外,為了描述簡單,可在本文中使用諸如「在……下面」、「在……下方」、「下部」、「在……上方」、「上部」及其類似術語之空間相對術語,以描述如諸圖中所繪示之一個元件或特徵與另一(另外)元件或特徵的關係。除了諸圖中所描繪之定向以外,此些空間相對術語意欲涵蓋元件在使用中或操作中之不同定向。裝置可以其他方式定向(旋轉90度或以其他定向),且可同樣相應地解釋本文中所使用之空間相對描述詞。
如本文中所使用,術語「標稱」代表在產品或製程之設計階段期間設定的部件或製程操作之特性或參數之期望值或目標值,以及高於及/或低於此期望值之值的範圍。值之此範圍可歸因於製造製程或容限之微小變化。
在一些實施例中,術語「約」及「大體上」可指示給定量之值在此值的5%(例如,此值的±1%、±2%、±3%、±4%、±5%)、此值的5%至10%、此值的10%至20%等之內變化。此些值僅為實例,且並不意欲為限制性的。應理解,術語「約」及「大體上」可代表如由熟習(若干)相關技術者根據本文中教示所解釋之值的百分比。
如本文中所使用,術語「垂直」意謂名義上垂直於基板的表面。
如本文中所使用,術語「絕緣層」代表用作電絕緣體(例如,介電層)之層。
與閘極結構覆蓋半導體鰭片結構的側壁部分及頂表面之其他類型的FET相比較而言,環繞式閘極(GAA)場效應電晶體(GAA-FET)(諸如,奈米薄片或奈米線GAA-FET)具有對其通道區域之改良的閘極控制。由於其環繞式閘極之幾何形狀,GAA FET實現了更大的有效通道寬度及更高的驅動電流。同時,GAA FET之獨特幾何形狀使得其易於受漏電流及寄生接面電容影響。舉例而言,包裹FET之奈米薄片或奈米線之閘電極形成為緊鄰半導體基板。因此,在GAA FET之操作期間,可能在半導體基板內在生長於半導體基板上之源極/汲極端之間形成寄生通道。此寄生通道可使GAA FET之效能降級並增大其功耗。為了抑制寄生通道形成,半導體基板為「反摻雜的」—例如,藉由與用於通道區域之摻雜劑類型相反的摻雜劑類型來摻雜。摻雜半導體基板增加了製造製程之成本及/或可能無法有效地消除或抑制寄生通道形成。除了反摻雜以外,GAA FET可形成在絕緣層上矽晶(silicon-on-insulator, SOI)基板上,與塊體基板相比較而言,絕緣層上矽晶(SOI)基板可減少寄生電容形成及漏電流的出現。然而,SOI基板比塊體半導體更昂貴,且其實施增大了製造成本。
本文中所描述之實施例係針對用於製造具有低功耗之奈米結構電晶體(如GAA奈米薄片或奈米線FET,其統稱為「GAA FET」)的方法。在一些實施例中,藉由在GAA FET之下的塊體基板上形成局部介電層而實現低功耗。局部介電質與SOI基板相比較而言提供了元件隔離,而不會增加SOI基板之製造成本。在一些實施例中,局部介電層形成在GAA FET之源極/汲極磊晶結構下方的區域中。根據一些實施例,局部介電層包括氧化矽。在一些實施例中,在形成GAA結構之前,可在塊體基板上沉積矽-鍺/矽雙層或矽-砷/矽雙層。在一些實施例中,可將鍺或砷佈植在矽基板中以形成前述雙層。隨後,經由形成在雙層中之開口選擇性地移除矽-鍺(或矽-砷)層的部分並用介電層替代,以在源極/汲極磊晶結構下方或在整個GAA FET結構之下形成局部介電結構。在一些實施例中,本文所述方法並不限於GAA FET,且可應用於其他類型之電晶體,諸如,finFET。
根據一些實施例,第1圖為形成在磊晶層110上之GAA FET 100的橫截面圖,此磊晶層110又安置在局部隔離結構115上。另外,局部隔離結構115形成在基板120上。GAA FET 100的特徵在於形成在磊晶層110之凹陷部分上的源極/汲極(source/drain,S/D)磊晶結構125(以下稱S/D磊晶結構125)。剛形成的S/D磊晶結構125鄰接GAA FET 100之半導體奈米薄片(nano-sheet, NS)或奈米線(nano-wire, NW)130。NS或NW 130藉由間隔物結構135垂直地(例如,在z方向上)分離且被閘極堆疊140環繞。舉例而言且並非限制,閘極堆疊140包括界面層(IL)145、高介電常數介電質150及閘電極155。在一些實施例中,閘電極155進一步包括第1圖中未示出之功函數層及金屬填充層。如第1圖中所示,閘極堆疊140藉由閘極間隔物160及層間介電質(interlayer dielectric, ILD)165與相鄰導電結構(諸如,第1圖中未示出之S/D接觸件)電隔離。
根據一些實施例,局部隔離結構115在GAA FET 100之下延伸。在一些實施例中,局部隔離結構115局部地在GAA FET 100周圍形成—與全域地在基板120(例如,具有形成為覆蓋基板120的整個表面之內埋式氧化物(buried oxide, BOX)層的SOI基板)之整個表面上相反。
在一些實施例中,磊晶層110具有在NS或NW 130下方之厚度110t,其被量測為在約5 nm與約100 nm之間。在一些實施例中,如第1圖中所示,磊晶層110可在S/D磊晶結構125之下較薄(例如,凹陷)。此磊晶層110佈置並非限制性的;磊晶層110可在整個GAA FET 100之上具有大體上恆定的厚度。在一些實施例中,厚於約100 nm之磊晶層110會引發對GAA FET 100之不當的機械應力,此可能對GAA FET 100之操作不利。
根據一些實施例,取決於形成於磊晶層110上之電晶體的類型,磊晶層110可為本徵的(例如,未摻雜)或摻雜的。舉例而言,磊晶層110可在其上形成有GAA FET(如GAA FET 100)時為本徵的(例如,未摻雜),且在其上形成有finFET時為摻雜的。舉例而言且並非限制,磊晶層110中之摻雜濃度的範圍可為自約1×1018 摻雜劑/cm3 至約5×1019 摻雜劑/cm3
根據一些實施例,局部隔離結構115之存在抑制了S/D磊晶結構125與基板120之間寄生電容的形成。另外,局部隔離結構115限制了漏電流之出現。出於此原因,當操作時,GAA FET 100具有減小之功耗。
在一些實施例中,局部隔離結構115包括基於矽之介電材料,諸如,氧化矽。在一些實施例中,可將其他介電材料用於局部隔離結構115。舉例而言,具有比氧化矽高的介電常數之介電材料,諸如,氮化矽、氧氮化矽及矽碳氮化物。取決於形成在局部隔離結構115之上的電晶體之類型,局部隔離結構115可具有約5 nm與約100 nm之間的厚度。舉例而言,與finFET相比較而言,GAA FET(例如,如GAA FET 100)可能需要較薄的局部隔離結構115。在一些實施例中,比約5 nm薄之隔離結構115提供不足的防寄生電容及漏電流之保護。舉例而言,具有小於5 nm之厚度的隔離結構115無法提供GAA FET 100與基板120之間的充分電隔離。在一些實施例中,厚於約100 nm之隔離結構115提供足夠的電隔離,但係不必要地厚。因此,厚於約100 nm之隔離結構115增大了製造複雜性及成本。
根據一些實施例,第2圖為形成在隔離結構200之上的GAA FET 100之橫截面圖,此隔離結構200在S/D磊晶結構125下方。在一些實施例中,不同於隔離結構115,此些隔離結構限於基板120之在S/D磊晶結構125下方的區域。隔離結構200不在閘極堆疊140下方延伸。實情為,隔離結構200藉由磊晶層205分離開,此磊晶層205根據一些實施例在隔離結構200之間形成間隔S。隔離結構200可具有與隔離結構115相同之厚度—例如,在約5 nm與約100 nm之間。另外,隔離結構200及隔離結構115可由同一材料製成,例如,氧化矽。
如第2圖中所示,磊晶層205部分地被局部隔離結構200、閘極堆疊140之底部部分及基板120環繞。磊晶層205(其在一些實施例中具有約5 nm與約100 nm之間的厚度205t)促進了隔離結構200之形成。磊晶層205可被視為基板120之「延伸部」,即使磊晶層205為生長在基板120之頂部上而非由基板120形成(例如,經由蝕刻)的層。類似於磊晶層110,磊晶層205在S/D磊晶結構125之下延伸。
根據一些實施例,第1圖及第2圖中所示之磊晶層110及205可由與基板120類似之材料製成。磊晶層110及205可由與基板120的材料不同之材料製成。舉例而言且並非限制,基板120及磊晶層110/205可包括結晶矽(Si)或另一元素半導體,諸如,鍺(Ge)。或者,基板120及磊晶層110/205可包括(i)化合物半導體,如碳化矽(SiC)、砷化鎵(GaAs)、磷化鎵(GaP)、磷化銦(InP)、砷化銦(InAs)及/或銻化銦(InSb);(ii)合金半導體,如矽-鍺(SiGe)、鎵砷磷(GaAsP)、鋁銦砷(AlInAs)、鋁鎵砷(AlGaAs)、鎵銦砷(GaInAs)、鎵銦磷(GaInP)及/或鎵銦砷磷(GaInAsP);或(iii)或其組合。
出於舉例目的,將在結晶矽(Si)之上下文中描述基板120及磊晶層110/205。基於本文揭示內容,如上所述,可使用其他材料。此些材料在本揭示案之精神及範疇內。
舉例而言且並非限制,p型GAA FET 100中之S/D磊晶結構125可包括硼摻雜(B摻雜)SiGe、B摻雜Ge、B摻雜鍺-錫(GeSn)或其組合。因此,n型GAA FET 100中之S/D磊晶結構125可包括砷(As)或磷(P)摻雜Si、碳摻雜矽(Si:C)或其組合。在一些實施例中,S/D磊晶結構125包括第1圖及第2圖中未示出之兩個或更多個磊晶生長層。在一些實施例中,如上所述,S/D磊晶結構125與NS或NW 130實體接觸。
在一些實施例中,當NS或NW 130沿y方向之寬度與其沿z方向之高度大體上不同時—例如,當寬度大於或窄於其高度時,NS或NW 130稱作「奈米薄片」。因此,當NS或NW 130沿y方向之寬度與其沿z方向之高度大體上相等時,NS或NW 130稱作「奈米線」。舉例而言且並非限制,將在NS層之上下文中描述NS或NW 130。基於本文揭示內容,奈米線在本揭示案之精神及範疇內。
在一些實施例中,每一NS 130具有在約3 nm與約15 nm之間的垂直厚度(例如,沿z方向),及沿y方向在約10 nm與約150 nm之間的寬度。相鄰NS 130以範圍在約3 nm與約15 nm之間的空間垂直地分離開。在一些實施例中,NS 130包括Si或Si(1-x) Gex ,其中Ge原子濃度在約10%與約100%(例如,純Ge)之間。或者,NS 130可包括III-V族化合物半導體,諸如,GaAs、InP、GaP及GaN。出於舉例目的,將在Si NS層之上下文中描述NS 130。基於本文揭示內容,如上所述,可使用其他材料且其在本揭示案之精神及範疇內。
在一些實施例中,取決於電晶體之特性,GAA FET 100可包括2個與8個之間的個別NS 130。更大數目個NS 130係可能的且在本揭示案之精神及範疇內。在一些實施例中,NS 130為輕微摻雜的或未摻雜的。根據一些實施例,若為輕微摻雜,則NS 130之摻雜位準小於約1019 摻雜劑/cm3
如第1圖及第2圖中所示,NS 130之間的空間被閘極堆疊140之層(例如,界面層(IL) 145、高介電常數介電質150及閘電極155)所佔用。在一些實施例中,閘極堆疊140覆蓋NS 130之中間部分。NS 130之邊緣部分被間隔物結構135覆蓋。在一些實施例中,間隔物結構135包括氮化物,諸如,氮化矽(Si3 N4 或「SiN」)、矽碳氮化物(SiCN)及矽碳氧氮化物(SiCON)。在一些實施例中,間隔物結構135沿x方向之寬度的範圍在約3 nm與約10 nm之間。如第1圖及第2圖中所示,間隔物結構135插入在閘極堆疊140與S/D磊晶結構125之間,以將閘極堆疊140與S/D磊晶結構125隔離開。
如第1圖及第2圖中所示,閘極間隔物160覆蓋閘極堆疊140之側壁表面且安置在最頂部NS 130上。閘極間隔物160(如間隔物結構135)可包括SiN、SiCN或SiCON。在一些實施例中,閘極間隔物160促進閘極堆疊140之形成。
在一些實施例中,ILD 165包括介電材料之一或更多個層。舉例而言且並非限制,ILD 165可為基於氧化矽之介電質,其包括氮、氫、碳或其組合。根據一些實施例,ILD 165為閘極堆疊140、S/D接觸件(未示出)及S/D磊晶結構125提供電隔離及結構支撐。
根據一些實施例,第3A圖及第3B圖為描述第1圖中所示之局部隔離結構115的形成之製造方法300的流程圖。可在方法300之各種操作之間執行其他製造操作且僅為了簡化而將其省略。本揭示案並不限於此操作描述。實情為,其他操作在本揭示案之精神及範疇內。應瞭解,可執行額外操作。此外,執行本文中所提供之揭示內容可能並不需要所有操作。另外,可同時地或以不同於第3A圖及第3B圖中所呈現之次序的次序來執行操作中之一些。在一些實施例中,可另外或替代於當前所述操作而執行一或更多個其他操作。出於說明目的,參考第4圖至第12B圖中所示之實施例來描述方法300。
參考第3A圖,方法300以操作305及在基板120上沉積第一磊晶層及第二磊晶層之製程開始。舉例而言且並非限制,可在無真空破壞的情況下(例如,原位)在基板120之整個頂表面上依次沉積第一及第二磊晶層,以避免所沉積的磊晶層之間的界面氧化物形成。在一些實施例中,第一磊晶層包括SiGe,其中Ge原子百分比在約20%與40%之間。在一些實施例中,與第二磊晶層及基板120相比較而言,第一磊晶層中之Ge濃度可用以精細調節所得SiGe層之蝕刻選擇性。在一些實施例中,不同的蝕刻化學物質可能需要不同的Ge原子百分比以實現所期望之蝕刻選擇性。另一方面,第二磊晶層包括大體上不含Ge之Si—例如,具有小於約0.5%的Ge之Ge濃度。在一些實施例中,與第二磊晶層及基板120相比較而言,在沉積期間摻雜第一磊晶層(例如,SiGe),以進一步調節其蝕刻選擇性。舉例而言而非限制,第一磊晶層可摻雜有砷(As)摻雜劑、其他適當的摻雜劑物質,或其組合。
舉例而言且並非限制,可藉由使用前驅物氣體之化學氣相沉積(CVD)製程「毯覆沉積」第一及第二磊晶層,此些前驅物氣體係諸如矽烷(SiH4 )、二矽烷(Si2 H6 )、鍺烷(GeH4 )、二鍺烷(Ge2 H6 )、二氯矽烷(SiH2 Cl2 )、其他適當氣體,或其組合。在一些實施例中,第一及第二磊晶層係在約550℃與800℃之間的溫度下及約1托與約600托之間的製程壓力下沉積。在一些實施例中,第二磊晶層係在比第一磊晶層之溫度高的溫度下沉積的。
在一些實施例中,第一磊晶層可藉由離子佈植形成,其中基板之頂部部分摻雜有Ge或As以形成SiGe層或As摻雜之矽層。第二磊晶層可隨後形成在第一磊晶層上。
在一些實施例中,第4圖為根據操作305沉積在基板120上之第一磊晶層400及第二磊晶層405的等角視圖。根據一些實施例,第4圖中所示之第一磊晶層400的厚度對應於第1圖中所示之局部隔離結構115的厚度。因此,第一磊晶層400之厚度大體上類似於局部隔離結構115之厚度—例如,在約5 nm與約100 nm之間。根據一些實施例,第二磊晶層將經圖案化以形成第1圖中所示之磊晶層110。因此,第二磊晶層405之剛沉積厚度對應於磊晶層110之厚度,例如,在約5 nm與約100 nm之間。如以上關於磊晶層110所論述,厚度大於約100 nm之第二磊晶層可引發對基板120之不當的機械應力。
參考第3A圖,方法300繼續操作310及在第一磊晶層400、第二磊晶層405及基板120中蝕刻溝槽開口之製程。舉例而言且並非限制,可藉由以下所描述之圖案化製程來形成第一磊晶層400、第二磊晶層405及基板120中之溝槽開口。參考第4圖,在第二磊晶層405上安置遮罩堆疊,以覆蓋第二磊晶層405之整個表面。隨後圖案化此遮罩堆疊以形成圖案化結構410。圖案化結構410在後續蝕刻製程中充當蝕刻遮罩以移除第二磊晶層405、第一磊晶層400及基板120之已暴露部分,以便形成第5圖(第4圖中所示之結構沿切線AB的橫截面圖)中所示之溝槽開口500。在一些實施例中,圖案化結構410包括為了簡化起見而未在第4圖及第5圖中示出之底部硬遮罩層(例如,氧化物層)及頂部光罩層(例如,光阻層)。在一些實施例中,圖案化結構410包括交替的氧化物及氮化物層(諸如,氧化矽及氮化矽)之底部硬遮罩堆疊,及頂部光阻層。
蝕刻製程可包括乾式蝕刻製程、濕式蝕刻製程,或其組合。在一些實施例中,蝕刻製程使用對靶層(例如,基板120、第一磊晶層400及第二磊晶層405)有選擇性之蝕刻化學物質。
舉例而言且並非限制,乾式蝕刻製程可包括含氧氣體、含氟氣體、含氯氣體、含溴氣體、含碘氣體、其他適當蝕刻氣體及/或電漿,或其組合。含氟氣體之實例包括但不限於四氟化碳(CF4 )、六氟化硫(SF6 )、二氟甲烷(CH2 F2 )、三氟甲烷(CHF3 )及六氟乙烷(C2 F6 )。含氯氣體之實例包括但不限於氯氣(Cl2 )、氯仿(CHCl3 )、四氯化碳(CCl4 )及三氯化硼(BCl3 )。含溴氣體之實例包括但不限於溴化氫(HBr)及溴仿(CHBr3 )。
舉例而言且並非限制,濕式蝕刻製程可包括稀氫氟酸(DHF);氫氧化鉀(KOH);氨水;含氫氟酸(HF)、硝酸(HNO3 )、乙酸(CH3 COOH)之溶液;及其組合。
參考第5圖,溝槽開口500形成在第二磊晶層405、第一磊晶層400及基板120之未被遮罩的部分中。因此,圖案化結構410形成在基板120之不期望形成溝槽開口500的位置上。在操作310之蝕刻製程期間,可如第5圖中所示形成多個溝槽開口500。溝槽開口500之位置及大小由圖案化結構410之相對定位及尺寸(例如,長度及寬度)限定。根據一些實施例,溝槽開口500形成淺溝槽隔離(STI)開口,其在隨後藉由介電材料填充時在基板120中形成相應的淺溝槽隔離(STI)結構。在一些實施例中,圖案化結構410可具有與第5圖中所示之圖案化結構不同之間距、形狀及大小。另外,每一圖案化結構410之間距、形狀及大小可彼此不同。根據一些實施例,第5圖示出基板120之形成溝槽開口500的選擇性部分。基板120之其他部分(第5圖中未示出)可保持被圖案化結構410覆蓋或帶有具有不同間距、形狀及/或大小之圖案化結構410。
根據一些實施例,如第5圖中所示,溝槽開口500暴露第一磊晶層400及第二磊晶層405之側壁表面。
參考第3A圖,方法300繼續操作315及經由溝槽開口500移除第一磊晶層400的部分以在第二磊晶層405與基板120之間形成縫隙之製程。在一些實施例中,操作315之移除製程不會移除整個第一磊晶層400。實情為,移除製程移除了第一磊晶層400在溝槽開口500附近的部分。換言之,所得縫隙形成在溝槽開口500周圍且並非在整個基板120之上。此可(例如)藉由適當地調整蝕刻製程時序或藉由用摻雜劑局部地控制對第一磊晶層400之蝕刻選擇性而完成。在一些實施例中,操作315中所使用之蝕刻製程能夠橫向地蝕刻第一磊晶層400以在第二磊晶層405與基板120之間形成縫隙。
在一些實施例中,蝕刻製程可包括乾式蝕刻、濕式蝕刻或其組合。舉例而言,蝕刻製程可包括乾式及濕式蝕刻製程之循環製程。舉例而言且並非限制,乾式蝕刻化學物質可包括含氯氣體,諸如,鹽酸(HCl)、Cl2 、三氟氯甲烷(CF3 Cl)、CCl4 ,或以氦氣(He)或氬氣(Ar)作為載氣之四氯化矽(SiCl4 )。相應地,若先前藉由As或另一摻雜劑摻雜了第一磊晶層400,則濕式蝕刻化學物質可包括氫氧化四甲銨(TMAH)水溶液。或者,濕式蝕刻可包括過氧化氫(H2 O2 )、CH3 COOH及氫氟酸(HF)之溶液,之後藉由去離子水(DIW)進行清潔。
根據一些實施例,第6圖示出在操作315之後第5圖的結構。如第6圖中所示,已橫向地蝕刻(例如,移除)第一磊晶層400之部分以形成縫隙600,而第一磊晶層400之其他部分(例如,位於距溝槽開口500距離L處)得以保留(例如,未被移除)。在一些實施例中,距離L之範圍為自約5 nm至約1 µm。第一磊晶層400之未蝕刻部分為縫隙600之上的第二磊晶層405及圖案化結構410提供支撐,並防止第二磊晶層405及圖案化結構410坍塌。
參考第3A圖,方法300繼續操作320及在溝槽開口500中沉積第一介電質以填充第二磊晶層405與基板120之間的縫隙600之製程。舉例而言且並非限制,可藉由可流動CVD高深寬比製程(HARP)來沉積第一介電質,其中液體狀的可流動介電質經沉積、固化並隨後退火以形成第一介電質。或者,可藉由高密度電漿製程(HDP)來沉積第一介電質。在一些實施例中,在操作320中沉積之第一介電質用以形成第1圖中所描述之隔離結構115。根據一些實施例,第7圖示出在根據操作320形成第一介電質700之後第6圖的結構。將第一介電質700沉積地足夠厚以大體上填充第6圖中所示之縫隙600。在一些實施例中,第一介電質700不完全填充縫隙600。舉例而言,如在第7圖之插入圖(其為第一介電質700之放大視圖)中所示,可能在第二磊晶層405與基板120之間形成氣穴或空隙710。
參考第3B圖,方法300繼續操作325及自溝槽開口回蝕第一介電質700以在第二磊晶層405與基板120之間形成第1圖中所示的隔離結構115之製程。在一些實施例中,此回蝕製程為能夠選擇性地蝕刻第一介電質700(例如,氧化矽)之各向異性乾式蝕刻製程。在一些實施例中,回蝕製程移除第一介電質700,以使得溝槽開口500如第8圖中所示被暴露。由於回蝕製程之各向異性,第一介電質700未被橫向地蝕刻,且因此未在第二磊晶層405與基板120之間被移除。因此,如第8圖中所示,第二磊晶層405之側壁表面與第一介電質700之側壁表面對準。在一些實施例中,第一介電質700在第二磊晶層405與基板120之間的未經蝕刻部分形成第1圖中所示之隔離結構115。在一些實施例中,在操作325之後,可藉由濕式蝕刻製程或任何其他適當製程將圖案化結構410移除。
參考第3B圖,方法300繼續操作330及在溝槽開口500中沉積第三磊晶層之製程。在一些實施例中,第三磊晶層類似於第二磊晶層405。舉例而言,第三磊晶層可為藉由使用前驅物氣體之CVD製程沉積的大體上不含Ge之Si磊晶層,此些前驅物氣體係諸如矽烷(SiH4 )、二矽烷(Si2 H6 )、二氯矽烷(SiH2 Cl2 )、其他適當氣體及其組合。
在一些實施例中,在沉積第三磊晶層之前,在溝槽開口500之表面上以約1 nm與約5 nm之間的厚度形成內襯材料。此內襯材料可充當鈍化或緩衝層,其在第三磊晶層之生長製程期間抑制缺陷形成。在一些實施例中,在第三磊晶層的沉積之前,內襯材料在約850℃下退火歷時約100秒。舉例而言且並非限制,第9圖示出在根據操作330形成內襯900及第三磊晶層905之後第8圖的結構。在一些實施例中,內襯900促進第三磊晶層905之形成,且第三磊晶層905促進在操作340中所形成之奈米薄片層的形成。舉例而言,第三磊晶層905防止或抑制了在形成於其上之奈米薄片層中形成缺陷。
參考第3B圖,方法300繼續操作335及平坦化第三磊晶層905以使得第三磊晶層905變成與第二磊晶層405共平面之製程。舉例而言且並非限制,可藉由化學機械平坦化(CMP)製程來平坦化第三磊晶層905,此化學機械平坦化(CMP)製程移除在第二磊晶層405之頂表面之上的第三磊晶層905及內襯900並導致平面的頂表面形貌。在第10圖中示出具有經平坦化/經研磨之第三磊晶層905的所得結構。
參考第3B圖,方法300繼續操作340及在第二磊晶層405上形成奈米薄片(NS)層之堆疊的製程。在一些實施例中,此堆疊亦形成在第三磊晶層905上。在一些實施例中,NS層之堆疊包括第1圖中所示之NS層130及與NS層130不同之另一類型的NS層之交替層。舉例而言且並非限制,第11圖示出NS層之堆疊1100(堆疊1100),其具有NS層1105及根據操作340形成在第二磊晶層405及第三磊晶層905上之NS層130的交替層。在一些實施例中,選擇用於堆疊1100中之NS層1105的材料,以使得可經由蝕刻自堆疊1100選擇性地移除NS層1105而不會移除NS層130。舉例而言,若NS層130為矽NS層,則NS層1105可為SiGe NS層。在一些實施例中,NS層130及NS層1105係藉由類似於用以沉積第一磊晶層400及第二磊晶層405之方法的方法形成。自堆疊1100移除NS層1105形成了第1圖中所示之GAA FET 100的通道區域。
舉例而言且並非限制,堆疊1100可形成在基板120之整個表面上,且隨後經圖案化而使得堆疊1100之在第三磊晶層905上的部分如第12A圖中所示被選擇性地移除。因此,鰭片結構1200形成在第二磊晶層405之選定部分上,且鰭片結構1200之側壁表面與第二磊晶層405及第一介電質700之側壁表面對準。在前述圖案化製程期間,如第12A圖中所示,亦移除了在鰭片結構1200之間的第三磊晶層905及內襯900。在一些實施例中,如第12B圖中所示,沉積具有約5 nm與約15 nm之間的厚度之封蓋層1205,以覆蓋鰭片結構1200。在一些實施例中,封蓋層1205為保護鰭片結構1200免於後續回蝕製程之氧化物層(例如,氧化矽層)。參考第12B圖,第二介電質1210被沉積在鰭片結構1200之上的封蓋層1205上,藉由CMP製程平坦化,且隨後經回蝕以形成淺溝槽隔離(STI)結構1215。在一些實施例中,回蝕製程使封蓋層1205及第二介電質1210凹陷至第二磊晶層405之高度位準,使得封蓋層1205及STI結構1215之頂表面與第二磊晶層405之頂表面共平面。
在一些實施例中,沿y方向在鰭片結構1200之中間部分上形成犧牲閘極結構(未示出),以使得鰭片結構之末端部分沿x軸自犧牲閘極結構突出。隨後,蝕刻製程移除(例如,修整)鰭片結構1200之已暴露的末端部分。如第12C圖之等角視圖中所示,在蝕刻製程期間,第二磊晶層400之未被犧牲閘極結構覆蓋的部分將被暴露,並隨後相對於磊晶層400之被覆蓋的中間部分及STI結構1215之頂表面凹陷以形成凹陷部分1215。犧牲閘極結構可用作上述蝕刻操作之遮罩層,為了簡化及易於可視化而未在第12C圖中示出。
根據一些實施例,具有凹陷部分1215之第二磊晶層405及第12C圖中所示之第一介電質700分別對應於第1圖中所示之磊晶層110及隔離結構115。在一些實施例中,S/D磊晶結構125形成在第二磊晶層405之凹陷部分1215上。另外,藉由選擇性蝕刻製程自鰭片結構1200移除NS層1105,且閘極堆疊140替代犧牲閘極結構以形成第1圖中所示之GAA FET 100。
根據一些實施例,第13A圖及第13B圖為用於形成第2圖中所示之局部隔離結構200及磊晶層205的製造方法1300之流程圖。可在方法1300之各種操作之間執行其他製造操作且僅為了簡化而將其省略。本揭示案並不限於此操作描述。實情為,其他操作在本揭示案之精神及範疇內。應瞭解,可執行額外操作。此外,執行本文中所提供之揭示內容可能並不需要所有操作。另外,可同時地或以不同於第13A圖及第13B圖中所呈現之次序的次序來執行操作中之一些。在一些實施例中,可另外或替代當前所述操作而執行一或更多個其他操作。出於說明目的,參考第4圖至第9圖及第14圖至第17圖中所示之實施例來描述方法1300。
在一些實施例中,方法1300之操作1305至1335等同於以上所述方法300之操作305至335。因此,用以描述方法300之操作305至335的第4圖至第10圖可用以描述方法1300之操作1305至1335。出於此原因,方法1300之描述將自第10圖以及第13B圖中所示之操作1340繼續。
參考第13B圖,方法1300繼續操作1340及圖案化第二磊晶層405及第一介電質700以在第一介電質700中形成開口以便暴露基板120之製程。在一些實施例中,第14圖為第10圖之等角視圖。如第14圖中所示,被內襯900環繞之第三磊晶層905形成具有沿x方向之長度及沿y方向之寬度的結構,使得第二磊晶層405及第一介電質700之側壁表面對準。如第15圖中所示,根據操作1340,圖案化第二磊晶層405及第一介電質700之在由第三磊晶層905及內襯900所形成的結構之間的部分,以形成具有長度L之開口1500以便暴露基板120。在一些實施例中,開口1500之長度L對應於第2圖中所示之隔離結構200之間的距離S。在一些實施例中,如第15圖中所示,開口1500沿y方向之寬度在由內襯900及第三磊晶層905形成的相鄰結構之間延伸。
參考第13B圖,方法1300繼續操作1345及在開口1500中沉積第四磊晶層(例如,磊晶層205)之製程。在一些實施例中,磊晶層205沉積在第二磊晶層405、第三磊晶層905及內襯900之已暴露表面上。在一些實施例中,如第16A圖中所示,磊晶層205在沉積之後藉由CMP製程進行平坦化,以使得磊晶層205在開口1500內之厚度等於第2圖中所示之厚度205t。根據一些實施例,第16B圖為第16A圖跨切線AB之橫截面圖。
參考第13B圖,方法1300繼續操作1350及在磊晶層205(例如,第四磊晶層)上形成具有NS層的堆疊(類似於第11圖中所示之堆疊1100)之製程。舉例而言,第17圖示出在根據操作1350沉積了堆疊1100之後的第16A圖。在一些實施例中,操作1350類似於第3B圖中所示之方法300的操作340。舉例而言,可隨後圖案化所沉積之堆疊,以形成第18圖中所示之鰭片結構1800。形成鰭片結構1800之圖案化製程可類似於用以形成第12A圖中之鰭片結構1200的圖案化製程。因此,如第18圖中所示,操作1350之圖案化製程移除了第三磊晶層905及內襯900。在一些實施例中,如第18圖中所示,沉積具有約5 nm與約15 nm之間的厚度之封蓋層1205,以覆蓋鰭片結構1800。在一些實施例中,封蓋層1205為保護鰭片結構1800免於後續回蝕製程之氧化物層(例如,氧化矽層)。參考第19A圖,第二介電質1900沉積在封蓋層1205上,經圖案化,且被回蝕(連同封蓋層1205一起)至磊晶層205之高度位準以形成淺溝槽隔離(STI)結構1905。在一些實施例中,第二介電質1900類似於第12B圖中所示之第二介電質1210。在第19A圖之實例中,不同於第二介電質1210,第二介電質1900在第一介電質700之上延伸。然而,此並非限制性的,且第一介電質700之其他部分可不被第二介電質1900覆蓋。
在一些實施例中,沿y方向在鰭片結構1800之中間部分上形成犧牲閘極結構(未示出),以使得鰭片結構1800沿x軸之末端部分自犧牲閘極結構突出。隨後,蝕刻製程移除(例如,修整)鰭片結構1800之已暴露的末端部分。如第19B圖之等角視圖中所示,在蝕刻製程期間,相對於磊晶層205之被覆蓋的中間部分及STI結構1905之頂表面來蝕刻磊晶層205之未被犧牲閘極結構覆蓋的部分或磊晶層205的整個厚度,以形成凹陷部分1910。在一些實施例中,凹陷部分1910包括第二磊晶層405與磊晶層205的一部分之堆疊。或者,凹陷部分1910包括第二磊晶層405,其中磊晶層205被第19B圖中所示之上述修整製程全部移除。因此,參考第2圖,插入在S/D磊晶結構125與隔離結構200之間的磊晶層可包括第二磊晶層405與磊晶層205的一部分之堆疊,或僅包括磊晶層405。在第2圖之說明中,插入在S/D磊晶結構125與隔離結構200之間的磊晶層包括第二磊晶層405(未示出)與磊晶層205的一部分之堆疊。前述犧牲閘極結構可用作上述蝕刻操作之遮罩層,為了簡化及易於可視化而未在第19B圖中示出。
在一些實施例中,S/D磊晶結構125形成在凹陷部分1910上。另外,藉由選擇性蝕刻製程自鰭片結構1800移除NS層1105,且閘極堆疊140替代犧牲閘極結構以形成第2圖中所示之GAA FET 100。
本文中所描述之實施例係針對用於製造具有低功耗之GAA FET的方法。在一些實施例中,局部介電層形成在GAA FET之源極/汲極磊晶結構下方的基板區域上。在一些實施例中,局部介電質形成在整個GAA FET之下。在一些實施例中,在形成GAA結構之前,在塊體基板上形成矽-鍺/矽雙層。隨後,經由雙層中之溝槽開口選擇性地移除矽-鍺層的多個部分,並以介電層替代,以在GAA FET下方形成局部隔離結構。在一些實施例中,圖案化局部隔離結構,以使得局部隔離結構之在GAA FET的通道區域之下的部分被移除。在一些實施例中,局部隔離結構包括氧化矽。在一些實施例中,本文所述方法並不限於GAA FET,且可應用於其他類型之電晶體,諸如,finFET。
在一些實施例中,一種半導體結構包括具有第一區域之基板,此第一區域具有第一及第二溝槽隔離結構。另外,此半導體結構包括在基板之第一區域上的介電質,其安置在第一及第二溝槽隔離結構之間。此半導體結構亦包括在介電質上之磊晶層,其中此磊晶層包括第一區域及第二區域。此半導體結構進一步包括安置在磊晶層之第一區域上的源極/汲極結構、包括安置在磊晶層之第二區域之上的奈米薄片層之垂直堆疊,及安置在磊晶層之第二區域上環繞垂直堆疊之奈米薄片層的閘極堆疊。
在一些實施例中,一種半導體結構包括具有間隔開的溝槽隔離結構之基板,及在基板上安置於溝槽隔離結構之間的介電結構。此半導體結構進一步包括在介電結構上之磊晶層,其中此磊晶層包括與介電結構之上部表面接觸的第一區域,及形成在基板上且與介電結構之側表面接觸的第二區域。另外,此半導體結構包括在磊晶層之第一區域上的源極/汲極結構、包括安置在磊晶層之第二區域之上的奈米薄片層之垂直堆疊,及在磊晶層之第二區域上環繞垂直堆疊之奈米薄片層的閘極堆疊。
在一些實施例中,一種方法包括在基板上沉積第一及第二磊晶層,及在第一及第二磊晶層以及基板中蝕刻溝槽開口。此方法進一步包括經由溝槽開口移除第一磊晶層之部分以在第二磊晶層與基板之間形成縫隙,及經由溝槽開口沉積第一介電質以填充縫隙並形成隔離結構。另外,此方法包括在溝槽開口中沉積第二介電質以形成溝槽隔離結構,及在第二磊晶層上形成電晶體結構。
