Description

具有垂直閘極之半導體元件及其製造方法
本發明係有關於一種半導體元件及其製造方法,特別是有關於一種具有垂直閘極之半導體元件及其製造方法。
隨著半導體記憶體元件積極度的增加,尺寸係微縮且圖案變的更精細。由於元件尺寸變的更小,閘極通道的長度亦縮減,其會因短通道效應,熱載子效應等所產生的漏電流,導致元件操作速度或資料輸入輸出速率減慢。
為避免上述情形,業界係提出垂直閘極之技術。在傳統的閘極結構中,鎢係用作閘極之主要材料。然而,對於高度先進的半導體技術,鎢由於具有較大的晶格尺寸,並不適用於具有較小尺寸之垂直閘極的材料。因此,需要找到可適用於垂直閘極電晶體之垂直閘極適合的材料和其相關製程。
根據上述,本發明提供一種具有垂直閘極之半導體元件之製造方法,包括:提供一基底;於基底中形成一凹槽;於凹槽之底部和側壁形成一閘極介電層;形成一黏著層於凹槽中之閘極介電層上,其中黏著層是一金屬氮矽化物層;及形成一閘極層於凹槽中之黏著層上。
本發明提供一種具有垂直閘極之半導體元件,包括:一基底,包括一凹槽;一閘極介電層,位於凹槽之底部和側壁上;一黏著層,位於凹槽中之閘極介電層上,其中黏 著層是一金屬氮矽化物層;及一閘極層,位於凹槽中之黏著層上。
為讓本發明之特徵能更明顯易懂,下文特舉實施例,並配合所附圖式,作詳細說明如下:
以下詳細討論實施本發明之實施例。可以理解的是,實施例提供許多可應用的發明概念,其可以較廣的變化實施。所討論之特定實施例僅用來發明使用實施例的特定方法,而不用來限定發明的範疇。
以下根據第1A圖~第1C圖描述具有垂直閘極之半導體元件之製造方法。請參照第1A圖,提供一適用於製造積體電路之基底102。基底102可以半導體材料形成,例如矽、鍺化矽、碳化矽、砷化鎵或其它適合之半導體材料。後續,形成一罩幕層108於基底102上。接著,以微影和蝕刻製程將罩幕層108圖案化。其後,使用罩幕層108作為一罩幕,蝕刻基底102,將基底102圖案化,以形成一凹槽106。罩幕層108可包括氧化矽、氮化矽或上述的組合。罩幕層108較佳包括氮化矽。沿著凹槽106之側壁和底部表面形成一閘極介電層104。閘極介電層104可包括氧化矽、氮化矽或高介電常數材料,例如Ta2 O5 、HfO2 、HSiOx 、Al2 O3 、InO2 、La2 O3 、ZrO2 或TaO2 。形成一多晶矽層110於基底102和罩幕層108間。可於多晶矽層110中形成一源極區及/或汲極區。請參照第1B圖,形成一閘極層112(較佳包括氮化矽)於凹槽106中和閘極介電層104 上,且後續進行一退火製程。請參照第1C圖,在退火步驟之後,閘極介電層104和閘極層112之界面間會產生孔洞114。孔洞114會影響半導體元件的效能,且發現一些可靠度的問題與上述孔洞有關。
以下根據第2A圖~第2C圖描述本發明一實施例具有垂直閘極之半導體元件之製造方法。請參照第2A圖,提供一適用於製造積體電路之基底202。基底202可以半導體材料形成,例如矽、鍺化矽、碳化矽、砷化鎵或其它適合之半導體材料。在一較佳的實施例中,基底202是由矽組成。後續,形成一罩幕層206於基底上。接著,以微影和蝕刻製程將罩幕層206圖案化。其後,使用罩幕層206作為一罩幕,蝕刻基底202,將基底202圖案化,以形成一凹槽204。在一實施例中,罩幕層206可包括氧化矽、氮化矽或上述的組合,罩幕層206較佳包括氮化矽。沿著凹槽204之側壁和底部表面形成一閘極介電層208,閘極介電層208可包括氧化矽、氮化矽或高介電常數材料,例如Ta2 O5 、HfO2 、HSiOx 、Al2 O3 、InO2 、La2 O3 、ZrO2 或TaO2 。形成一多晶矽層205於基底202和罩幕層206間。在一實施例中,可於多晶矽層205中形成一源極區及/或汲極區。
請參照第2B圖,形成一黏著層210於凹槽204中和罩幕層206上。在一實施例中,黏著層210是一金屬氮矽化物,特別是,金屬氮矽化物可以是Mx Si(1-x) N,其中金屬(M)可以是鈦、鉭或鎢,且x之範圍可以是0.1~0.9,較佳為0.3~0.6。在一較佳實施例中,金屬(M)是鈦,且黏著層210 是鈦氮矽化物。鈦氮矽化物可以循序式氣流沉積(sequential flow deposition,簡稱SFD)之技術形成。以下敘述描述形成鈦氮矽化物之製程步驟:將TiCl4 、He和N2 經由一第一氣體管線導入一化學氣相沉積室,且將NH3 和N2 經由一第二氣體管線導入上述沉積室,以進行一第一沉積步驟。管線中可加入He、Ar或其它鈍氣之單獨或混合氣體。在一範例中,上述製程步驟可採用以下製程條件:TiCl4 之流量約為50 mg/min~350 mg/min,經由第一管線導入第一沉積室,且NH3 之流量約為100 sccm~500 sccm,經由第二管線導入上述沉積室。總壓力可以約為5 torr~30 torr,基座的溫度可以約為400℃~700℃。在TiCl4 和NH3 進行反應後,進行一第一清除(purge)步驟,以移除反應中產生的副產物。不希望產生的副產物可能會影響後續沉積薄膜於鈦氮化矽層上之黏著性。上述清除步驟係提供清除氣體至製程室,後續排除清除氣體和反應中產生的副產物。清除氣體可以為N2 、H2 、He、Ar、Ne、Xe或上述之組合。一般來說,提供至製程室之清除氣體的流量約為100 sccm~1000 sccm,時間最多約為5分鐘。
後續,將NH3 導入沉積室,以進行一第一氮化步驟。接著,進行一第二清除(purge)步驟,其中上述清除步驟係提供清除氣體至製程室,後續排除清除氣體和反應中產生的副產物。清除氣體可以為N2 、H2 、He、Ar、Ne、Xe或上述之組合。其後,將形成的層暴露在含矽氣體下,使矽混入氮化鈦層中,將其轉變成鈦氮矽化(TiSiN)層。含矽氣體可以例如為SiH4 或Si2 H6 。含矽氣體可以下列氣體混合: H2 、N2 、Ar或He。一般來說,矽化物之形成步驟之製程條件可如下:含矽氣體之流量約為20 sccm~3000 sccm,總壓力約為0.5 torr~20 torr,溫度約為500℃~700℃。當含矽氣體與H2 混合,含矽氣體與H2 之比例較佳大於1。矽化物之形成步驟之製程條件更佳可如下:含矽氣體之流量約為80 sccm,H2 之流量約為450 sccm,總壓力約為5 torr,溫度約為650℃。後續,將NH3 和N2 經由第二管線導入沉積室,以進行一第二氮化步驟,完成一次循環(cycle)之沉積。本發明實施例可重複上述循環5~20次,形成鈦氮矽化物。在本發明一實施例中,黏著層之厚度可以為5 nm~20 nm。本發明可使用額外的製程室,且上述之參數可依據形成鈦氮矽化物之特殊的製程室而變化。舉例來說,其它的製程室可以具有較大或較小的體積,而其需要的氣體流量也隨著製程室的體積變化增加或減少。
後續,請參照第2C圖,形成閘極層212於凹槽204中和黏著層210上。閘極層212較佳包括氮化鈦、氮化鉭或氮化鎢,理由是這些材料具有較小的晶格尺寸和較低的阻值。後續,進行一退火製程,退火製程之溫度可以為800℃~1200℃。後續可進行一般的半導體製程步驟,例如圖案化閘極層、形成源極/汲極區、形成間隙壁、形成接觸、形成層間介電層或金屬間介電層,上述製程在此不詳細的描述。
本發明形成金屬氮矽化物黏著層具有避免於閘極介電層和閘極層間產生孔洞的優點,且可防止此孔洞衍生出之相關問題。更甚者,金屬氮矽化物黏著層可減少電晶體之 垂直閘極的阻值。
雖然本發明之較佳實施例說明如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何熟習此技藝者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作些許之更動與潤飾,因此本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。
