Figure 1 schematically shows an SRAM memory cell 10. The SRAM memory cell 10 includes first and second drivers N1 and N2. In the example, the drivers N1 and N2 are pull-down NMOS elements N1 and N2. The source 12 of N1 and the source 14 of N2 are connected to a reference voltage Vss, for example, a ground. The drain 16 of N2 is connected to the gate 18 of N1. The drain 20 of N1 is connected to the gate 22 of N2. The SRAM memory cell 10 in Fig. 1 also includes two load elements L1 and L2. One end 24 and 26 of each load element L1 and L2 is connected to the reference voltage Vcc, and the other end 28 and 30 is connected to the drains 20 and 16 of N1 and N2, respectively. The reference voltage Vcc is positive with respect to Vss. The SRAM memory cell 10 also includes two additional NMOS devices N3 and N4. Elements N3 and N4 act as pass transistors. The gates 32 and 34 of N3 and N4 are connected to a word line whose signal value is expressed as WORD.

Invention Description (2) A signal will be pulled down transistors N1 and N2 One of them is discharged. The purpose of the load elements L1 and L2 is to counteract the leakage effect of charging at the drains 20 and 16 of N1 and N2. The load elements L1 and L2 may be polycrystalline silicon resistors or PMOS elements. If In the case where L1 and L2 are PMOS elements, the source of the PMOS element is connected to Vcc; the drain of the PMOS element is connected to the drains 20 and 16 of N1 and N2; and the gates of the PMOS elements L1 and L2 are connected to the NMOS pull-down Gates of crystals N1 and N2. In order to reduce the size of SRAM memory cell 10 for future high-density and low standby power usage, load elements L1 and L2 may be implemented with thin-film PMOS transistors. In this case, This SRAM memory cell 10 is called a TFT SRAM memory cell. Load Devices L1 and L2 can also be implemented with full CMOS memory cells. However, the area required for a full CMOS device is much larger than the area required for the opposite TFT memory cell. In addition, the cost of using a full CMOS device as a load is much greater than that for TFT The components are required for the load. Therefore, in low-power applications, the TFT elements are used as the load elements L1 and L2. Figure 2 shows the TFT SRAM memory cell 50. The load element of the TFT SRAM memory cell 50 is represented by P1 and P2, which It is composed of PMOS thin film transistor (TFT). Sources 52 and 54 of P1 and P2 are connected to Vcc and drains 56 and 58 of P1 and P2 are connected to drains 20 and 16 of N1 and N2 (and N3 and N4 Drains 40 and 42). The gates 60 and 62 of P1 and P2 are connected to the gates 18 and 22 of N1 and N2, respectively. The branch 70 contains P1 and N1. . — 11 order Jiu Yong-J (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) Printed by the Staff Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 322638 A7 B7 5. Description of the invention (3) The flow is expressed as Ion, when P1 is on The current flowing through branch 70 is expressed as Ioff. (In the same way, Ion and Ioff are also used to indicate the current flowing through branch 80 including P2 and N25.) For each low power application, power saving is required, that is, low Standby power, so it requires a large on current Ion and a small leakage current Ioff to maximize the ratio of Ion / Ioff. Figures 3a to 3c and Figure 4 show the formation of the conventional TFT SRAM architecture 100 of the TFT SRAM memory cell 50 in Figure 2, and only one of the branches, such as branch 70, is shown in the figure. As shown in FIG. 3a, the TFT SRAM structure 100 has an N-type silicon substrate 112 in which a P-type substrate 114 is formed. The N + -type drain 116 and the N + -type source 118 are formed in the P-type metal 114, and a channel 120 separates the two. A gate oxide layer 122 is formed on the source 118, the drain 116 and the channel 120. Part of the oxide layer 122 is etched to expose an opening 124 above part of the drain 116. A first polycrystalline silicon layer 126 (poly-1) is deposited on the oxide layer 122 and the opening 124. As shown in FIG. 3b, a poly-1 layer 126 pattern is defined and doped with N-type ions 128 to form an N + -type gate 130 above the channel 120 and an N + -type drain connection 140 exposed to the drain 116 Above part (ie above opening 114). The drain 116, the source 118, and the gate 130 are relative to the drain 20, source 12, and gate 18 of the N1 pull-down body crystal shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Next, a thick inter-poly dielectric (IPD) 145 (IPD) is formed on the gate 130 and the oxide calendar 122. The pattern of the IPD layer 145 is defined to expose the N + type drain connection 140. The IPD layer 145 isolates the TFT P1 of FIG. 2 from the driver N1 located below it.

Description of the invention (4). 146 ° The TFT P1 shown in Figure 2 is then formed as follows: Above the IPD layer 145. A poly-2 layer 147 is formed on the IPD layer 145, and on the exposed portion of the N + type drain connection 140 through the opening 146 as shown in FIG. 3c. This poly-2 layer 147 is doped with a high concentration of N-type ions 149. As shown in FIG. 4, an N-type poly-2 layer 147 pattern is then defined to form an N + -type poly-2 connection 155 and an N + -type TFT gate 160. The N + type poly-2 connection 155 and the N + type drain connection 140 make electrical contact. A TFT gate oxide layer 165 is formed over the N + type poly-2 connection 155 and the TFT gate 160 and the residual IPD layer 145. The pattern of the TFT gate oxide layer 165 is defined, and then etched to expose part of the N + type poly-2 connection 155. The N + type poly-2 connection 155 is used to connect the drain connection 140 and a poly-3 TFT body layer 170 deposited thereon. This poly-3 body layer 170, referred to as a TFT body layer, is formed on the defined TFT oxide layer 165. After the definition, part of the poly-3 layer 170 is removed (not shown in the cross-sectional view in FIG. 4) to form the drain 180, source 185, channel 190, and offset region 192 of the TFT. The poly-3 layer 170 is doped with N-type ions. After depositing the N-type TFT body layer 170, an additional P-type ion 175 is selectively implanted therein to form the P + -type drain 180 and P + -type source 185 regions of the TFT. The P + type drain 180 and P + type source 185 regions of the TFT are separated by a TFT channel 190. The TFT channel 190 surrounds the TFT gate 160. A low-concentration mixed or undoped offset area 192 is located in channel 190 ^ ^ L, n H ϋ n ϋ ^ 11 n IL-v (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size is for China Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) A7 B7 printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs V. Invention description (5) In the TFT body layer 170 between the drain 180 and the drain electrode 180. The TFT offset region reduces the normal high TFT off current (Ioff). This is because the high electric field between the channel 190 and the drain 180 causes the off current (Ioff) to be large. Because many TFTs use a bottom gate, the TFT gate 160 cannot be used to align the drain 180 and source 185 regions of the TFT. Therefore, mask and lithography steps are needed to define the positions of the drain 180 and source 185 regions of the TFT. This step may easily misalignment the drain 180 and source 185 regions of the TFT, resulting in the offset region 192 having a length less than its optimal value. The size of the offset region 192 has a significant influence on the characteristics and performance of the TFT device. (Also described in Manning et al. US Patent No. 5,334,862). Referring to FIG. 2, an N + type poly-2 connection 155 is used to connect the pull-down NMOS N1 and the drain electrode 56 of the TFT P1. The TFT body layer 170 has a non-planar channel region 190. This non-planarization of the TFT body layer 170 causes some problems. One disadvantage of this curved channel is that the high field junction between the TFT offset region 192 and the TFT drain 190 is very close to the TFT gate. This junction generates the current when the TFT is off. Due to this curved geometry, the cut-off current and side electric field of the high-field interface are very large. The second disadvantage of conventional TFT devices is that it is very difficult to define the effective channel length. This is due to the relationship of the vertical portion of the TFT channel surrounding the TFT gate sidewall. The difficulty in defining the effective length of the channel has led to difficulties in the definition of the source and drain regions. In addition, the displacement problem when defining the effective length of the channel in the lithography step will greatly change the effective length of the channel, due to the TFT channel.

Printed by the Staff Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 322638 A7 B7 V. The relationship between the vertical part of the invention description (6). The third disadvantage of the conventional TFT device is its poor surface topography and non-planarization of the upper surface of the TFT device. In order to improve the poor surface topography and provide a flat upper surface, an additional planarization step is required. The fourth disadvantage of the conventional TFT device is the leakage current path in the off state and the trap centers in the corners of the channel in the on state. Since the polycrystalline silicon thin film at the corner of the channel is curved, a part of the single crystalline section will occur at the corner of the channel, which will generate grain boundaries and cause leakage current paths and trap centers. The leakage current path and the trap center will simultaneously increase the off current and reduce the on current to reduce the performance of the TFT. U.S. Patent No. 5,334,862 discloses that a TFT forms a gate like a planarized plug in a recess formed in half of a semiconductor substrate. This gate is formed in the form of a thin film at the bottom of the recess and does not fill the recess. A gate insulating layer is formed on the sidewalls of the gate and the recess. A TFT body layer is then formed on the sidewalls of the gate and recess where the TFT body layer and the gate are separated by a gate insulating layer. The above TF D has several disadvantages. First, the bending of the TFT body layer will cause some single-crystal sections to be at the corners. This will increase grain boundaries and leakage paths. In addition, the recess will destroy the flatness of the structure. In the referenced TFT, the production of the source and the drain is very difficult. The implantation of the drain and source is performed at an angle because it is implanted on the side wall of the recess.

The description of invention (7) The concentration causes serious problems. In addition, in some cases the TFT is already in a specific orientation. Therefore, the TFT disclosed in the above-mentioned US Patent No. 5,334,862 is difficult to be practically applied. In view of this, an object of the present invention is to form a TFT with a body layer that is not curved but flat to overcome the above-mentioned problems caused by the bending of the TFT body layer. The present invention is directed to a TFT architecture with a flat TFT body layer. The TFT of the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned problems caused by bending of the TFT body layer. The process of the present invention begins with a substrate for forming MOS transistors. A gate (poly I) is formed on the channel between the drain and the source. The drain electrode and the source electrode are formed in the base village by ion implantation, for example, and the gate electrode and the channel are separated by the gate oxide layer. The steps of the present invention include the following steps: 1. Deposit a polycrystalline inter-silicon dielectric layer (IPD) on the driving transistor, and form an opening in the IPD to expose the gate of the driving transistor. In practice, another moving transistor is formed in the same step. An opening is formed in the IPD to expose the electrode of the driving transistor. 2. Deposit a nitride layer on top of the patterned IPD and exposed gate, and then deposit a thick CVD insulating layer on the nitride layer. 3. Form a recess in the nitride layer and the insulating layer to expose the IPD layer. In addition, a via opening is formed in the insulating layer and the nitride layer to expose the gate electrode of the driving transistor. In practice, the drain of the driving transistor can also be exposed in this step. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) • Install '

Invention description (8) 4. Deposit a thick polycrystalline interlocking layer (poly II) Fill the recess of the TFT gate and the opening of the through hole. This poly II layer is flat. A flat TFT polycrystalline silicon gate is now filled into the aforementioned TFT gate recess, and a polycrystalline silicon through-hole connected to the driving transistor gate is filled into the aforementioned through-hole opening. The upper surface of the polycrystalline silicon gate is substantially equal to the surface of the insulating layer. 5. — The TFT gate insulator is deposited above the insulator and the exposed TFT gate and polycrystalline second via. 6.-A flat TFT body layer is then deposited on the TFT gate insulating layer, and a source and drain are formed by implantation. The flat TFT of the present invention has several obvious advantages. The shortcomings of the high-side electric field, poor topography on the TFT, and the single crystal section in the corner are eliminated. The characteristics of the TFT are stable because the TFT of the present invention has a relatively simple geometric structure. Furthermore, the method for manufacturing TFTs according to the present invention does not require an additional lithography step compared to conventional bottom gate TFT manufacturing methods. In order to make the features, advantages and steps of the present invention more obvious and easier to understand, a preferred embodiment is described in conjunction with the drawings as follows.

Description (9) Figure 12 shows a TFT SRAM memory cell according to the present invention. Embodiments: The present invention is directed to a TFT structure used in SRAM memory cells and a manufacturing method thereof, for example. The TFT of the present invention has a smooth channel to reduce the off current (Ioff). Therefore, the efficiency of the TFT is improved. The beginning according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 5. Figure 5 shows a semiconductor with a driver MOS device 302 covered with a thick IPD 145. The IPD layer 145 and this special driver MOS element 302 are similar to the IPD layer 145 shown in FIGS. 3a to 3c and 4 and the special driver MOS element 302 located below the IPD layer 145. That is, this MOS driving element 302 is formed in the manner described in FIGS. 3a to 3c. The driver element 302 has a P-type socket 114 formed in the substrate 112. The N-type ions are implanted into the P-type Ion 114 to form an N + -type drain 116 and a source 118, which are separated by a channel 120. Gate oxide layer 122 is formed over drain 116, source 118, and channel 120. A first polycrystalline silicon layer (poly-1) is deposited on the oxide layer. Define this poly-1 to see the pattern and then use N-type ion implantation to form N + -type gate 130 on the channel 120. Although not shown in FIG. 5, a drain connection for connecting the drain 116 is also formed in the poly-1 layer (refer to the drain connection 140 in FIG. 3b). As shown in FIG. 5, an IPD layer 145 is formed on the MOS driver element 302. As shown in FIG. 5, an IPD layer 145 is formed on the gate 130 and the oxide layer 122. In an example, the IPD layer 145 is a tetraethoxysilyl methane (butyl EOS) layer formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with a thickness of approximately 1000A. As shown in the figure, the IPD layer 145 formed using the CVD process is 11 m- I In mf n In) nn n-.

Description of the invention (1〇) The surface profile of Epistar 300 tends to be consistent. As shown in FIG. 6, the IPD layer 145 is defined to form an opening 305 to expose a portion of the gate 130. Although not shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 6, an opening for exposing the N + type drain 116 of the driving transistor is also defined in the example. As shown in Figure 2, this is used to connect the drain 116 of each driver transistor, for example, the drain 20 of the N1 transistor to the gate of the driver transistor, and the load of another driver TFT load transistor pair The TFT is, for example, the gate 22 of the driver N2 and the gate 62 of the load P1. As shown in FIG. 6, the opening 305 formed by the lithography step in which the photoresist mask 310 is formed on the IPD layer 145 and defines to expose a part of the IPD layer 145 above the gate 130. The exposed portion of the IPD layer 145 is etched to form an opening 305. To simplify the following illustration, the MOS driver 302 will not retain the gate oxide layer 122 and the gate electrode 130 as shown. As shown in FIG. 7, the lithographic mask 310 is removed and a thin insulating layer 320 is formed, for example, silicon nitride on the exposed portions of the IPD layer 145 and the gate 130. In an example, the thickness of the silicon nitride layer 320 is 200A. Next, a thick dielectric layer 330 is formed on the silicon nitride layer 320. It will become more apparent later that the thickness of the dielectric layer 330 is equal to the thickness of the TFT gate to be formed. Therefore, the thickness of the dielectric layer 330 depends on the required thickness of the TFT gate. In the above example, the dielectric layer 330 is a CVD deposited TEOS layer with a thickness of 1000A. As shown in FIG. 8, the lithography step is used to define the dielectric layer 330 to expose a portion of the silicon nitride layer 320. For example, it can be achieved by forming a photoresist mask 340 on the silicon nitride layer 320. The pattern of the photoresist mask 340 is defined and the dielectric layer 330 is etched using plasma to expose a portion of the silicon nitride layer 320.

Description of the invention (11) A polycrystalline silicon through-hole opening 350 and a TFT gate recess 355. In practice, an opening is also formed in the dielectric Ju 330 to Miao Guang 320 320 above the drain 116 of the driver (this opening is located in a different cross-section and is not shown). The silicon nitride layer 320 serves as an etch stop layer, so both the polycrystalline silicon through hole opening 350 and the TFT gate recess 355 terminate here. Next, the portions of the through-silicon via openings 350 and the TFT gate recesses 355 are removed by nitriding 320, for example, using hot scaly acid. This results in a polycrystalline TSV opening 350 that terminates in the driver gate 130, and a TFT gate recess 355 that terminates in the IPD layer 145. In an example, an opening is also formed in the silicon nitride layer to expose the drain 116 of the driver. This opening cannot be seen on the plane shown. As shown in FIG. 9, the remaining photoresist mask 340 is removed, and a very thick polycrystalline silicon layer 360 (poly-2) is deposited on the crystal 300. The thickness of the polycrystalline silicon layer 360 is sufficient to fill the polycrystalline silicon through-hole opening 350 and the TFT gate recess 355 (in the example, the polycrystalline silicon layer 360 also fills the opening of the driver transistor N + type drain) to create a Smooth plane. In an example, the thickness of the polycrystalline silicon layer 360 is 8000 people. As shown in Figure 10, the polymorphic second (poly-2) 360, for example, using plasma etching to remove the recess 355 in the gate of the TFT (Figure 9), (drive transistor N + type electrode Opening) and polycrystalline silicon outside the opening of the polycrystalline second via. In this way, the surface of the wafer 300 can be made smooth. The surface of the dielectric layer 330 is almost the same as the surface of the TFT gate recess 355 (figure 9) filled with polycrystalline silicon and the via opening 350 filled with polycrystalline silicon The surface is continuous.

Invention Description (12) Polycrystalline silicon (poly) stored in the through hole opening 350 and the recess 355 -2) The upper surface of the layer 360 is continuous with the dielectric layer 330. The upper surface 510 of poly-2 370 in the recess 355 is substantially coplanar with the upper surface 520 of the dielectric layer 330. The polycrystalline silicon (poly-2) located in the through hole opening 350 is a cross-linked polycrystalline silicon plug 365. Polycrystalline silicon (poly-2) at the recess 355 is a TFT gate 370 °. After defining the poly-2 layer 360, N-type ions such as P31 are implanted in the poly-2 layer regions 370 and 365, and this ion The implantation was performed using a concentration of 1015 per square centimeter and an energy of 40keV. As shown in FIG. 11, a TFT gate insulator such as a TFT gate oxide layer 375 is deposited on the wafer 300 using CVD. In the example, the thickness of the TFT gate oxide layer 375 is 300A. Next, an amorphous silicon film 380, also called a TFT body layer, is deposited on the TFT gate oxide layer 375. In an example, the thickness of the TFT body layer is 300A. The TFT body layer 380 is then annealed at a low temperature for a long period of time. As an example, the poly-3 TFT body layer 38 is tempered at about 600 ° C for 12 hours. This step converts the poly-3 TFT body layer 380 into a better quality polycrystalline silicon film (poly-3) with a smooth surface. TFT channel ion implantation is performed using, for example, N-type ions to form an N-type channel 385 in the TFT body layer 380. Additional placement is implemented, for example, using P-type ions to form the TFT P + drain 390 and TFT P + source 395 regions. The conventional TFT has vertical and horizontal portions at the corners of the channel and surrounds the TFT gate 370. Unlike the conventional TFT, the TFT source 395 and the drain 390 and the gate 385 form a flat surface. Can also 14 ------- ",-installed ----- ordered -----! 1.

Invention description (13 ) Form an undoped or low-doped offset region that separates the TFT gate 385 and TFT channel 385 ° Next, define the implanted TFT body layer and etch it, for example using conventional lithography procedures and plasma Etching to form a TFT with the correct appearance of the source electrode 395 and the drain electrode 390. Perform an oxidation step to form an oxide layer on the TFT body layer 380. Implement a post-process to provide, for example, metal contacts. The process includes a pre-Metal-ielectric (IPD) deposition and tempering. The PMD layer is defined to form a metal contact opening. After the metal contact is formed in the opening, above the PMD layer and the metal contact Metallization is formed. Finally, a protective layer is formed to complete the entire process. Although, not shown for clarity, the TFT gate, driver gate and another driver There are connections between the drains. For example, if one of the pair of TFT driver transistors in Figure 11 is opposite to the TFT negative transistor P1 and the driver transistor N1 (Figure 2), then these transistors P1 and N1 are connected To the drain of another driving transistor N2 (Figure 2). Figure 12 shows that the TFT 400 with a flat channel and bottom gate formed according to the present invention has low leakage current. The channel 385 of the TFT 400 is flat An offset region 410 separates it from the drain 390. Figure 12 also shows a junction 420 between the offset region 410 and the TFT drain 390. The electric field on one side generates the TFT off current (Ioff), which appears At junction 410.
