Description

1331790 九、發明說明： 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明大體上係關於一種半導體裝置及製造方法，且更 特疋s之’係關於一種互補金屬氧化物半導體（CMOS)裝 置’該裝置包含懸垂於界面上之淺溝隔離層（STI)，從而防 止裝置中之氧化致壓縮應力。 【先前技術】
可使用各種製程技術製造CMOS裝置。一種方法需要於 鬆他矽鍺（SiGe)層上製造應變矽（Si)層。當鍺（Ge)濃度增加 時’ Si晶格中之應變（strain)增加。此較明顯，因為該應變 影響性能（例如’電子及電洞移動性）。儘管應變可改良η通 道場效電晶體（nFET)中的電子移動性，但ρ通道場效電晶 體（p-FET)中之性能改良（意即，電洞移動性之增強）較困 難。pFET中的電洞移動性最初於少量拉伸應變下表現出輕 微降級’但隨更高應變而線性增加。 在相對於電流之縱向上施加的壓縮應力可導致電洞移動 性顯著增加，但亦可降級電子移動性。通常用於CM〇s製 造中的用以隔離離散組件以避免干擾之淺溝隔離（STI)製程 易受到由氧化造成之體積膨脹致應力（v〇lume eXpansi〇n induced stress)之影響。此應力可極大地影響性能，諸如 不利地降低nFET電子移動性。 詳言之’鄰接於STI之垂直部分之si易受到氧化致應力 (oxidation induced stress)。Si可在閘極氧化或對閘極堆疊 之再氧化期間被氧化。由於使用了多次閘極氧化（此在製 96247-990601.doc 造咼性能邏輯電路中係常見的），該氧化部分可展現顯著 增加之厚度。此增加之厚度於矽活性區域中誘發應力，其 可影響性能’諸如不利地降低nFET電子移動性。 當應力源靠近電晶體閘極時，該氧化致壓縮應力對性能 之景> 響被放大。現代CMOS晶片在一通常石夕基板中具有數 百萬緊鄰著的主動裝置。隨著小型化及於單一基板上併入 更多主動裝置之努力繼續’該等應力源越來越可能足夠靠 近而對性能造成可觀的影響。 本發明係針對克服如上所述的該等一或多個問題。 【發明内容】 在本發明之第一態樣中，於一基板上形成一半導體結 構，其包括至少一淺溝隔離層，該淺溝隔離層具有至少一 懸垂體，該懸垂體經選擇性地組態以防止基板之確定部分 中的氧化致應力》 在本發明之另一態樣中，於一基板上形成一半導體結 構❶該結構包括一第一場效電晶體，其具有一源極、—汲 極、一閘極及自源極至汲極之電流流向。該結構亦包括— 用於該第一場效電晶體之第一淺溝隔離層。該第—淺溝隔 離層具有至少一懸垂體，該懸垂體經組態以於平行於第— 場效電晶體之電流流向之方向中防止氧化致應力。 在本發明之另一態樣中，提供一形成半導體結構之製 耘。該製程需要形成一第一淺溝隔離層。該淺溝隔離層具 有至少一懸垂體’該懸垂體經組態以於一第一確定方向中 防止氧化致應力。在該製程中，形成包括一矽層、一在該 96247-990601.doc 1331790 石夕層上之二氧切層及-在該二氧化㈣上之氮化㈣之 結構。將該氮切層、二氧切層切基板之—部分钱刻 以形成-溝槽。㈣氮切層在該溝槽中之側壁部分以產 生氮化石夕層之相對於該溝槽之凹陷。在該溝槽中形成一淺 溝隔離層’其於實施例中具有—懸垂體。 【實施方式】 本發明使用氮化石夕後撤製程（pull_back p_ssm 一遮罩之組合，該遮罩用於防止在某些或所有pFET裝置之 縱向組件（longitudinal component)令執行Μ#4後撤。所得 之半‘體結構具有懸垂結構（本文稱為懸垂體、Si〇2懸垂 體及STI懸垂體），對於nFET裝置而言，該等懸垂結構存在 於電流流向及橫切電流流向之方向中。為增強歸因於壓縮 應力之性能，對於pFET裝置而言，在平行於電流流向之方 向中不存在二氧化矽（Si〇2)懸垂體。 然而，對於pFET裝置而言，該結構於橫切電流流向之 方向中具有Si〇2懸垂體，以避免來自壓縮應力之性能降 級。該等懸垂結構藉由阻斷對下層Si之接觸而防止氧化。 若無懸垂體，在鄰接於淺溝隔離層之垂直Si_si〇2界面處的 Si將易受氧化及伴隨的體積膨脹之影響，尤其是在閘極氧 化及再氧化加工步驟期間。咸信所得之半導體結構能在很 少或無nFET性能降級之情況下得到pFET性能改良。此 外’可使用標準故障分析技術’諸如掃描式電子顯微術 (SEM)來偵測懸垂結構》 參看圖1，提供了矽基板110、襯墊二氧化矽（Si〇2)層12〇 96247-990601.doc 1331790 及襯堅氣化碎（Si: ，八J ，。 峨π丞板可為々 晶圓、形成於石夕晶圓上之蟲θ展+ 姑日日層或絕緣物上矽（S〇 板。二氧化矽層120厚度可A約9 了 又』馮力2 11„1至7〇 nm ’且可 竹 積或生長於晶圓上。舉例而言， 八礼 J稭由熱氧化或低壓化學 氣相沉積(LPCVD)來形成該二氧化矽層接著，可藉 由LPCVD來沉積在約10⑽至彻⑽範圍内之氮化心 130。
現在參看圖2’隨後可執行—光微影製程以在氮化石夕岸 13〇之上ffi案化光阻影像21"著可如此項技術中熟知 的，使用乾式或濕式蝕刻製程（例如，藉由將經圖案化光 阻用作遮罩之反應性離子蝕刻）來蝕刻出相反圖案以形成 溝槽結構。
現在參看圖3，可執行乾式或濕式蝕刻製程以蝕刻未被 光阻衫像210覆盖之氮化妙層13〇、二氧化碎層i2〇及一定 量的矽基板110。以此方式’穿過矽基板11()、二氧化矽層 120及氮化矽層130形成溝槽310及320。 接著，參看圖4，可用Si02將溝槽310及320填滿，諸如 藉由使用（例如）化學氣相沉積（CVD)或電漿CVD製程將 Si〇2沉積於基板表面之上。接著可使用（例如）反應性離子 蝕刻（RIE)、化學機械研磨或其組合將所沉積的Si02平坦 化。以此方式，形成淺溝隔離層4 10及420。該等淺溝隔離 層410及420不展現懸垂體。 為形成具有懸垂體之淺溝隔離層，在沉積Si〇2以填滿溝 槽前，蝕刻氮化矽層130之部分，以使其相對溝槽側壁後 96247-990601.doc -9- 1331790 退或後撤，如圖5中所示。舉例而言，可藉由在氧化物沉 積及化學機械研磨之前將諸如經甘油酸鹽緩衝之氫氟酸之 触刻劑引入溝槽310及320中，來蝕刻（意即，“後撤，，）氮化 矽層130。在此步驟中，待蝕刻的氮化矽之量將視併入本 發明之教示的整體製造過程而定。一般而言，該量應足以 允許形成可充分防止該裝置之確定部分中的氧化之懸垂 體。然而，該懸垂體不應干擾裝置上的其它結構。舉例而 言（但不限於此），延伸超過STI-基板之界面〇 〇1 4瓜至〇 5 μηι(微米）之懸垂體應足以防止氧化而不導致干擾。 為控制懸垂體形成之位置，可選擇性地應用一光阻或硬 遮罩以防止蝕刻劑（例如，經甘油酸鹽緩衝之氫氟酸）底切 (undercut)確定區域。由光阻或硬遮罩保護之區域將不展 現形成懸垂體所需之後撤。沉積並圖案化硬遮罩或光阻之 製程在半導體製造技術中為已知的。可接著在隨後加工步 驟中將硬遮罩或光阻移除。
接著，如圖5中所示，在沉積“〇2並平坦化（例如，RIE 或化學機械研磨）後，形成T形結構510及520。來自二氧化 矽層120之Si〇2部分122_128(圖6)在溝槽成型及後撤後可保 留。因為該等部分122-128包含與T形結構510及520相同的 材料，在隨後圖式中將不把該等部分與τ形結構進行區 分。 當將氮化矽層13〇自溝槽側壁後撤時，圖5之淺溝隔離層 結構分別形成τ形或臺階部分5〗〇&及52〇a(例如，嵌入於矽 基板110及一氧化矽層120中之狹窄部分），從而形成懸垂 96247-99060l.doc 1331790 於二氧化矽層120上之懸垂體。因此，此等淺溝隔離丁形結 構510及520之各別頂部水平部分或臺階部分51〇&及52〇&現 在懸垂於垂直Si-Si〇2界面620-626上且因此抑制了該等界 面之Si部分之氧化。從而，在通道區域中可防止氧化致壓 縮。 因此，後撤允許形成所沉積si〇2之懸垂體，藉此保護在
Si-Si〇2界面620-626處的受到覆蓋之si垂直部分使之不被 氧化。可藉由該懸垂體來抑制可使性能降級之氧化致應 力。包含nFET之CMOS電路可在平行於電流流向及橫切電 流流向之方向中具有具懸垂體之STI結構，以防止沿si_ s^2界面之si的氧化。相反，根據圖4，pFET裝置可在橫 切方向中具有懸垂體，但不在平行於電流流向之方向中具 有懸垂體。 以下在圖6中，藉由（例如）熱磷酸將氮化矽層13〇(圖y移 除。在此時，執行用於習知加工流程中的用以形成源極及 汲極區域之陳人。接著可使用定時之氫II酸㈣來準備 石夕表面以供問極氧化。藉由該㈣將二氧化碎層120、丁形 結構510及520厚度降低。 儘管已敍述例示性材料及STI懸垂體形成與半導體製造 過程’但本發明不限於此㈣ϋ不偏離本發明之範脅 前提下，可應用額外及不同之材料及製造步驟，包括不同 之蝕刻劑及後撤與懸垂體形成技術。 半導體中之每—主動裝置均可具有-包圍該裝置之淺溝 隔離層。通常該淺溝隔離層包括四個側邊。舉例而言（但 96247-990601.doc 1331790 不限於此），圖7提供一包圍一主動裝置之淺溝隔離層· 的俯視平面圖，該主動裝置包括—閘電極72g及—活性石夕 區域.該淺溝隔離層包括平行於電流流向的兩個側邊 740與750及橫切電流流向之兩個側邊76〇與77〇。此外該 等側邊可具有STI懸垂體或可無懸垂體。平行於電流流向 之側邊740及/或750上的懸垂體係平行於電流流向之懸垂
體。橫切電流流向之側邊760及/或77〇上的懸垂體係橫切 電流流向之懸垂體。 現在參看圖8，其中展示一例示性pFET裝置。該例示性 裝置包括一淺溝隔離層，該淺溝隔離層具有在平行於電流 流向之方向中無懸垂體之側邊。對於pFET，可在橫切方向 上提供STI懸垂體。該主動裝置可包括習知閘極介電質 845、一閘電極830及側壁間隔片82〇與835，其皆以習知方 式形成°亦可提供用於源極與汲極接觸之矽化物（例如，
TiSi2、TaSi-2或 MoSi2)810與 840。 現在參看圖9，其中展示一例示性nFET裝置。該裝置包 括一淺溝隔離層，該淺溝隔離層具有在平行於電流流向之 方向上有懸垂體之側邊T形結構51 〇及520。該主動裝置可 包括習知閘極介電質945、一閘電極93〇及側壁間隔片920 與940。亦可提供用於源極與汲極接觸之矽化物（例如， TiSi2、TaSi2或MoSi2)910與950。該等懸垂體在接近垂直 Si-Si〇2界面處防止氧化致鳥喙構造（bird’s beak formation)。因此避免了會降級nFET之電子移動性之氧化 致壓縮應力。 •12· 96247-990601.doc 1331790 現在參看圖10，根據本發明一例示性實施例之PFET裝 置的平行於閘電極930所見之橫截面圖展示了在橫切電流 流向之方向上的STI懸垂體1〇1〇與1〇2〇。STI懸垂體1〇1〇與 1020在橫切方向上防止氧化致壓縮應力構造（例如，鳥缘 構造）’從而防止電洞移動性之降級。可使用與用以形成 在平行於電流流向之方向上的STI懸垂體之技術相同的技 術（例如’氮化矽後撤製程）形成在橫切方向上的STI懸垂 體。 類似地，圖Π提供一例示性nFET裝置之平行於閘電極 830所見之橫截面圖，其展示在橫切電流流向之方向上的 STI懸垂體111〇與1120。STI懸垂體111〇與112〇在橫切方向 上防止氧化致壓縮應力構造，從而防止電子移動性之降 級。再一次地，可使用與用以形成在平行於電流流向之方 向上的STI懸垂體之技術相同的技術（例如，氮化矽後撤製 程）形成在橫切方向上的STI懸垂體。 應力效應與距主動裝置之距離呈相反關係。氧化致壓縮 應力之源距主動裝置越近，對性能之影響越大。反之，場 效電晶體閘極與氧化致壓縮應力之源（例如，一鳥喙構造） 之間的距離越大，對性能之影響越難察覺。此外，與一確 定的主動結構（例如，一電晶體閘極之最近邊緣）之距離較 -確定距離更大之氧化致壓縮應力源（例如，鳥f構造）不 會對該結構之性能（例如，電子或電洞移動性）產生可觀的 影響。因&，在本發明一實施例中，若STI與確定的結構 之間的距離小於或等於該碟定的距離，則可實施STI懸垂 96247-990601.doc 13 1331790 體。該確定的距離可視可影響所誘發應力之量值的因素而 定變化。舉例而言，該等因素可包括：隔離層、介電質及 矽基板之間的熱失配；氮化物遮罩之本質應力；以及製造 步驟及條件。因為超出該距離之應力源不會對性能產生可 觀之影響，所以在該種情況下對於降低應力目的而言不一 定需要形成STI懸垂體。舉例而言（但不限於此），自nFET 或pFET閘極之最近邊緣相距5 · Ο μιη(微米）或更大之距離可 足以避免性能降級。
因此可選擇性地組態根據一例示性實施之STI懸垂結構 以防止鳥喙構造，其中由該等構造導致之壓縮應力會使性 能降級。諸如對裝置類型（例如，nFET或pFET)、距主動裝 置之距離及電流流向之考量可影響是否應形成懸垂體及該 懸垂體之配置。儘管對於nFET而言，可在平行於電流流向 及橫切電流流向之兩方向上均提供STI懸垂體；pFET可在 橫切方向中具有STI懸垂體，但在實施例中不應在平行方 向上具有懸垂體。該選擇性的組態可進一步考慮到STI與 主動裝置間之距離（例如，STI與附近閘極間之距離）。若該 距離防止鄰接於STI之鳥喙構造對性能產生任何可觀的影 響，則可將懸垂體省去。 儘管已根據例示性實施例描述本發明，熟習此項技術者 將瞭解本發明可在經修改後實行且在附加之申請專利範圍 之精神及範疇中。 【圖式簡單說明】 圖1展示用於根據本發明之一例示性實施來使用之矽基 96247-990601.doc •14- 1331790 板，其具有氧化物層及氮化物層； 圖2展示用於根據本發明之一例示性實施來使用之矽基 板，其於氮化物表面上具有圖案化之光阻影像； 圖3展示用於根據本發明之一例示性實施來使用之具有 溝槽之經蝕刻半導體結構； 圖4展示用於根據本發明之一例示性實施來使用之具有 淺溝隔離層之半導體結構；
