Description

半導體結構與其製造方法
本揭露是有關於一種半導體結構與其製造方法。
半導體元件被用於各種電子應用,例如個人電腦、手機、數位相機與其他電子裝置等。半導體業界藉由不斷降低特徵尺寸以持續提升各種電子元件(例如電晶體、二極體、電阻與電容等)的集成密度。於是,更多的組件可以集成到一個給定區域。
在集成電路中,「內連線(Interconnection)」意指連接多個不同電子元件的導電線。除了在接觸區外,絕緣層分離內連導電線與基板。在特徵密度(Feature Densities)增加的時候,導電線的線寬與內連線結構中導電線之間的線距亦隨之降低。
根據本揭露一實施方式,一種半導體結構包含基板、至少一第一閘極結構、至少一第一間隔層、至少一源極汲極結構、至少一導體以及至少一保護層。第一閘極結構設置於 基板上。第一間隔層設置於第一閘極結構的至少一側壁上。源極汲極結構相鄰於第一間隔層。導體電性連接源極汲極結構。保護層設置於導體與第一間隔層之間且設置於第一閘極結構的頂面上。
根據本揭露另一實施方式,一種半導體結構包含基板、至少一閘極結構、至少一間隔層、至少一源極汲極結構、至少一第一介電層、至少一導體以及至少一保護層。閘極結構設置於基板上。間隔層設置於閘極結構的至少一側壁上。源極汲極結構設置於基板上。第一介電層至少設置於閘極結構上,且具有開口於其中,其中開口裸露源極汲極結構。導體至少藉由開口電性連接源極汲極結構。保護層設置於導體與間隔層之間且設置於第一介電層與閘極結構之間。
根據本揭露又一實施方式,一種製造半導體結構的方法包含以下步驟。首先,形成第一介電層於至少一源極汲極結構上與至少一第一閘極結構和至少一第二閘極結構之間。接著,移除第一介電層的上方部分,因而使第一介電層、第一閘極結構與第二閘極結構形成凹槽。然後,形成保護層至少於凹槽的至少一側壁上。接著,形成第二介電層於第一閘極結構、第二閘極結構、保護層與第一介電層上。然後,於第一介電層與第二介電層中形成孔洞,以裸露源極汲極結構。最後,形成於導體於孔洞中,其中導體電性連接源極汲極結構。

以下將以圖式揭露本揭露之複數個實施方式,為簡化圖式起見,一些習知慣用的結構與元件在圖式中將以簡單示意的方式繪示之。
第1圖至第9圖繪示依照本揭露一實施方式之半導體結構的製程各步驟的剖面示意圖。
以下將以圖式及不同實施方式或範例清楚說明本揭露之精神,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者在瞭解本揭露之實施方式後,當可由本揭露所教示之技術,加以改變及修飾,其並不脫離本揭露之精神與範圍。舉例來說,當一元件被稱為『連接』或『耦接』至另一元件時,它可以為直接連接或耦接至另一元件,又或是其中有一額外元件存在。另外,本揭露不同實施方式可能使用相同代號或代碼來標示元件,此乃為了方便說明,而不代表不同實施方式間具有特殊關聯性。
此外,相對詞彙,如『下』或『底部』與『上』或『頂部』,用來描述文中在附圖中所示的一元件與另一元件之關係。相對詞彙是用來描述裝置在附圖中所描述之外的不同方位是可以被理解的。例如,如果一附圖中的裝置被翻轉,元件將會被描述原為位於其它元件之『下』側將被定向為位於其他元件之『上』側。例示性的詞彙『下』,根據附圖的特定方位可以包含『下』和『上』兩種方位。 同樣地,如果一附圖中的裝置被翻轉,元件將會被描述原為位於其它元件之『下方』或『之下』將被定向為位於其他元件上之『上方』。例示性的詞彙『下方』或『之下』,可以包含『上方』和『上方』兩種方位。
於本文中,除非內文中對於冠詞有所特別限定,否則「一」與「該」可泛指單一個或多個。將進一步理解的是,本文中所使用之「包含」、「包括」、「具有」及相似詞彙,指明其所記載的特徵、區域、整數、步驟、操作、元件與/或組件,但不排除其所述或額外的其一個或多個其它特徵、區域、整數、步驟、操作、元件、組件,與/或其中之群組。
當一個元件被稱為「在…上」時,它可泛指該元件直接在其他元件上,也可以是有其他元件存在於兩者之中。相反地,當一個元件被稱為「直接在」另一元件,它是不能有其他元件存在於兩者之中間。如本文所用,詞彙「與/或」包含了列出的關聯項目中的一個或多個的任何組合。
除非另有定義,本文所使用的所有詞彙(包括技術和科學術語)具有其通常的意涵,其意涵係能夠被熟悉此領域者所理解。更進一步的說,上述之詞彙在普遍常用之字典中之定義,在本說明書的內容中應被解讀為與本揭露相關領域相通的意涵。除非有特別明確定義,這些詞彙將不被解釋為理想化的或過於正式的意涵。
第1圖至第9圖繪示依照本揭露一實施方式之半導體結構的製程各步驟的剖面示意圖。
如第1圖所繪示,形成半導體結構。半導體結構包含基板110、閘極結構121、123以及至少一源極汲極結構130。閘極結構121、123設置於基板110上。源極汲極結構130設置於基板110上且相鄰於閘極結構121、123。換句話說,源極汲極結構130設置於閘極結構121、123之間。需要注意的是,閘極結構121、123的數量與源極汲極結構130的數量僅為示例且不限制本揭露的其他實施方式,閘極結構121、123的數量與源極汲極結構130的數量可由實際情況決定。
在一些實施方式中,基板110之材質可為半導體材料且可包含例如漸變層或設置於其中的埋藏氧化層。在一些實施方式中,基板110包含摻雜(例如P型摻雜、N型摻雜或其組合)或未摻雜的矽塊材(Bulk Silicon)。其他適合用於形成半導體器件的材料亦可被使用。舉例來說,鍺,石英,藍寶石和玻璃亦可為基板110之材質。另外,基板110可為絕緣底半導體(Semiconductor-on-insulator,SOI)基板的主動層或者多層結構,例如形成於矽塊材上的矽鍺層。
在一些實施方式中,閘極介電層、擴散阻障層、金屬層、阻擋層、潤濕層以及填充金屬的至少一堆疊形成閘極結構121、123的至少其中之一。換句話說,閘極結構 121、123的至少其中之一可包含閘極介電層、擴散阻障層、金屬層、阻擋層、潤濕層以及填充金屬的堆疊。
在一些實施方式中,閘極介電層包含介面層(Interfacial Layer,IL)。介面層為閘極介電層的下半部分且為介電層。在一些實施方式中,介面層包含氧化層,例如矽氧化物層,其可藉由基板110的熱氧化製程、化學氧化製程、或沉積製程形成。閘極介電層亦可包含高介電常數介電層。高介電常數介電層為閘極介電層的上半部分,且高介電常數介電層包含高介電常數介電材料,例如氧化鉿、氧化鑭、氧化鋁或其組合。高介電常數介電材質的介電常數(k值)大於約3.9,且可能大於約7。介電常數有時可能會是約21或是更大。高介電常數介電層覆蓋介面層,且高介電常數介電層可以接觸介面層。
在一些實施方式中,擴散阻障層包含氮化鈦,氮化鉭或其組合。舉例來說,擴散阻障層可以包括氮化鈦層與設置於氮化鈦層上的氮化鉭層,氮化鈦層為擴散阻障層的下半部分,氮化鉭層為擴散阻障層的上半部分。
當閘極結構121、123的其中之一形成N型金屬氧化物半導體(Metal-oxide-semiconductor,MOS)器件時,金屬層接觸擴散阻障層。舉例來說,在擴散阻障層包括氮化鈦層與氮化鉭層的實施方式中,金屬層可以實體接觸氮化鉭層。在另一實施方式中,閘極結構121、123的其中之一形成P型金屬氧化物半導體器件,一個額外的氮化鈦層會形成於氮化鉭層與覆蓋於氮化鉭層上的金屬層之 間,於是氮化鈦層接觸氮化鉭層。額外的氮化鈦層提供適合P型金屬氧化物半導體器件的功函數,此功函數大於中間能隙功函數(Mid-gap Work function)。中間能隙功函數約為4.5eV,且其位於矽的價帶與傳導帶的中間。此大於中間能隙功函數的功函數被稱為P型功函數,而具有P型功函數的對應金屬被稱為P型金屬。
金屬層提供適合N型金屬氧化物半導體器件的功函數,此功函數小於中間能隙功函數。此小於中間能隙功函數的功函數被稱為N型功函數,而具有N型功函數的對應金屬被稱為N型金屬。在一些實施方式中,金屬層之材質為N型金屬,其具有低於約4.3eV的功函數。在一些實施方式中,金屬層的功函數亦可為約3.8eV至約4.6eV。金屬層可包含鋁鈦合金(Titanium Aluminum),鋁鈦合金可以包含其他元素,或者鋁鈦合金可以不包含或幾乎不包含其他元素。金屬層可藉由物理氣相沉積製程(Physical Vapor Deposition,PVD)形成。在一些實施方式中,金屬層形成於室溫(舉例來說,約攝氏20度至約攝氏25度)。在其他實施方式中,金屬層形成於高於室溫的溫度(舉例來說,高於約攝氏200度)。
在一些實施方式中,阻擋層可包含氮化鈦層。阻擋層可藉由原子層沉積製程(Atomic Layer Deposition,ALD)形成。

填充金屬可包含鋁、鋁合金(例如鋁鈦合金)、鎢或銅。填充金屬亦可藉由物理氣相沉積製程、化學氣相沉積製程或類似製程形成。填充金屬可被回焊。形成潤濕層將提升填充金屬對於其下之層的濕潤。

如第2圖所繪示,形成介電層150於閘極結構121、123與源極汲極結構130上,且至少部分的介電層150為設置於閘極結構121、123之間與在源極汲極結構130上。介電層150為層間介電層(Interlayer Dielectric,ILD)。介電層150之材質為介電材料,例如氧化矽、氮化矽、氮氧化矽或其組合。在一些實施方式中,介電層150之材質為低介電常數介電材料,以提升阻容遲滯(Resistive-Capacitive Delay)。低介電常數介電材料的介電常數低於二氧化矽的介電常數。可以藉由引入碳或氟原子降低介電材料的介電常數。舉例來說,引入碳原子至二氧化矽,其κ值為3.9,以形成摻雜氫化碳的氧化矽(Hydrogenated Carbon-doped Silicon Oxide),其κ值在2.7至3.3之間,且引入氟原子至二氧化矽以形成氟矽酸鹽玻璃(Fluorosilicate Glass,FSG),其κ值在3.5至3.9之間,因而降低其κ值。在一些實施方式中,低介電常數介電材料為例如摻雜納米孔碳的氧化物(Nanopore Carbon Doped Oxide,CDO)、黑鑽石(Black Diamond,BD)、苯環丁 烯(Benzocyclobutene,BCB)的基礎聚合物、芳香族(烴)熱固性聚合物(Aromatic Thermosetting Polymer,ATP)、氫倍半矽氧烷(Hydrogen Silsesquioxane,HSQ)、甲基倍半矽氧烷(Methyl Silsesquioxane,MSQ)、聚亞芳基醚(Poly-arylene Ethers,PAE)、摻雜氮的類金剛石碳(Diamond-like Carbon,DLC)或其組合。介電層150可藉由例如化學氣相沉積、旋塗或其組合形成。
如第2圖與第3圖所繪示,位於閘極結構121、123之上的介電層150藉由移除製程移除。在一些實施方式中,此部分的介電層150為藉由化學機械研磨製程(Chemical Mechanical Polishing,CMP)移除。在完成化學機械研磨製程後,殘留下來的介電層150設置於源極汲極結構130上與閘極結構121、123之間。
如第4圖所繪示,移除殘留之介電層150的上半部分,因而使介電層150、閘極結構121、123與間隔層141、143形成凹槽151。凹槽151裸露至少部分的間隔層141、143。介電層150的上半部分藉由蝕刻製程移除,蝕刻製程可為乾蝕刻,例如反應式離子蝕刻(Reactive Ion Etching,RIE)、電漿增強(Plasma Enhanced,PE)的蝕刻或感應耦合電漿(Inductively Coupled Plasma,ICP)蝕刻。在一些實施方式中,當介電層150之材質為氧化矽時,可以使用以氟為基礎的反應式離子蝕刻形成凹槽 151。用來乾蝕刻介電層150的氣體蝕刻劑可為例如四氟化碳/氧。
具體而言,凹槽151的深度為約5埃至約500埃,但這不限制本揭露其他實施方式。
如第5圖所繪示,形成保護層160於閘極結構121、123的頂面上、凹槽151的至少一側壁上(即至少部分裸露的間隔層141、143)與凹槽151的底面上(即在源極汲極結構130上的介電層150的頂面)。保護層160可包含例如氮化矽、氮氧化矽等。保護層160可藉由原子層沉積製程、其他適合製程或其組合形成。
如第6圖所繪示,形成介電層170於閘極結構121、123、保護層160與介電層150上。介電層170為層間介電層。介電層170之材質為介電材料,例如氧化矽、氮化矽、氮氧化矽或其組合。在一些實施方式中,介電層170之材質為低介電常數介電材料,以提升阻容遲滯。低介電常數介電材料的介電常數低於二氧化矽的介電常數。在一些實施方式中,低介電常數介電材料為例如摻雜氫化碳的氧化矽、氟矽酸鹽玻璃、摻雜納米孔碳的氧化物、黑鑽石、苯環丁烯的基礎聚合物、芳香族(烴)熱固性聚合物、氫倍半矽氧烷、甲基倍半矽氧烷、聚亞芳基醚、摻雜氮的類金剛石碳或其組合。介電層170可藉由例如化學氣相沉積、旋塗或其組合形成。
如第6圖與第7圖所繪示,於介電層150、170中形成孔洞171,以裸露源極汲極結構130。在形成孔洞171 的同時,移除設置於凹槽151的底面上的保護層160。孔洞171裸露至少部分保護層160。孔洞171為藉由微影與蝕刻製程形成。微影與蝕刻製程包含塗佈光阻、曝光、顯影、蝕刻與移除光阻。光阻藉由例如旋塗塗佈於介電層170上。接著,光阻被預烤以除去多餘的光阻劑。在預烤後,光阻暴露於具有圖案的強烈光線。
強烈光線為例如波長為約436奈米的G-光線(G-line)、波長為約365奈米的I-光線(I-line)、波長為約248奈米的氟化氪(Krypton Fluoride)準分子雷射、波長為約157奈米的氟(Fluoride)準分子雷射或其組合。曝光工具的最後透鏡和光阻表面之間的空間在曝光時可以填充具有大於一的折射率的液態介質,以提高微影分辨率。光阻暴露於光線將引起化學變化,使部分光阻可溶於顯影劑。
接著,在顯影前可以進行後曝光烘烤(Post-exposure Bake,PEB),以幫助減少入射光的破壞性和建設性干涉圖案所造成的駐波現象。然後將顯影劑施加到光阻上以移除可溶於顯影劑的部分光阻。然後硬烘烤剩餘的光阻,以固化剩餘的光阻。
沒有被剩餘的光阻保護的至少部分介電層170會被蝕刻而形成孔洞171。蝕刻製程可為乾蝕刻,例如反應式離子蝕刻、電漿增強的蝕刻或感應耦合電漿蝕刻。在一些實施方式中,當介電層170之材質為氧化矽時,可 以使用以氟為基礎的反應式離子蝕刻形成孔洞171。用來乾蝕刻介電層170的氣體蝕刻劑可為例如四氟化碳/氧。
在孔洞171形成後,光阻可以藉由例如電漿灰化、剝離或其組合自介電層170移除。電漿灰化使用電漿源產生一個單原子反應性物質,例如氧或氟。反應性物質與光阻結合形成灰分,然後灰分為藉由真空幫浦移除。剝離使用光阻剝離劑,例如丙酮或酚溶劑,以自介電層170移除光阻。
此外,在孔洞171形成後,至少部分剩餘的介電層150設置於孔洞171的側壁上。具體而言,設置於孔洞171的側壁上的介電層150為設置於閘極結構121、123的間隔層141、143上。
如第8圖所繪示,過度填充(Overfill)導電層180於孔洞171。導電層180之材質為金屬,例如銅(Copper)、鋁(Aluminum)、鎢(Tungsten)、鎳(Nickel)、鈷(Cobalt)、鈦(Titanium)、鉑(Platinum)、鉭(Tantalum)或其組合。導電層180可藉由例如電化學沉積製程(Electrochemical Deposition)、物理氣相沉積製程、化學氣相沉積製程或其組合形成。
然後,如第8圖與第9圖所繪示,移除位於孔洞171外的多餘導電層180。移除位於孔洞171外的多餘導電層180為藉由移除製程移除。在一些實施方式中,多餘的導電層180為藉由化學機械研磨製程移除。在一些實施方式中,當導體層之材質為銅時,化學機械研磨製程的研 磨液為例如懸浮磨料顆粒、氧化劑與腐蝕抑制劑的混合物,且研磨液為酸性的。在完成化學機械研磨製程後,形成導體181(導電層180)於孔洞171中。導體181電性連接源極汲極結構130,且保護層160設置於導體181和間隔層141之間與導體181和間隔層143之間。
根據本揭露另一實施方式,半導體結構100包含基板110、閘極結構121、123、間隔層141、143、至少一源極汲極結構130、至少一導體181以及至少一保護層160。閘極結構121、123設置於基板110上。間隔層141設置於閘極結構121的至少一側壁上,且間隔層143設置於閘極結構123的至少一側壁上。源極汲極結構130設置於基板110上且相鄰於間隔層141、143,且源極汲極結構130設置於間隔層141、143之間。導體181電性連接源極汲極結構130。保護層160設置於導體181和間隔層141之間與導體181和間隔層143之間且設置於閘極結構121、123的頂面上。
具體而言,保護層160之材質為介電材料,例如例如氮化矽、氮氧化矽或其組合,但本揭露其他實施方式並不限於此。
具體而言,設置於間隔層141與導體181之間的保護層160的頂面與底面之間的距離為約5埃至500埃,設置於間隔層143與導體181之間的保護層160的頂面與底面之間的距離為約5埃至500埃,但本揭露其他實施方式並不限於此。
半導體結構100更包含介電層170。介電層170至少設置於保護層160上且具有至少位於其中的開口O。開口O裸露源極汲極結構130,且至少部分導體181設置於開口O中。導體181至少藉由開口O電性連接源極汲極結構130。另外,保護層160沒有設置於介電層170的開口O中,且保護層160設置於介電層170和閘極結構121之間與介電層170和閘極結構123之間。
半導體結構100更包含介電層150。介電層150設置於導體181和間隔層141之間與導體181和間隔層143之間。保護層160設置於介電層150的上方。換句話說,介電層150設置於保護層160與源極汲極結構130之間。
源極汲極結構130更可包含至少一源極汲極應力源,但本揭露其他實施方式並不限於此。
保護層160可以在形成孔洞171時保護間隔層141、143不被過度蝕刻。於是,在形成導體181後,導體181可以電性絕緣於閘極結構121、123而不會有短路故障且/或漏電的問題。在有保護層160的情況下,器件尺寸將可以在不用給予微影與蝕刻製程巨大負載的情況下進一步縮小,於是器件的效能可以因此提升。進一步來說,疊對(Overlay)與圖案化的負載要求將可減輕。另外,保護層160可以擴大接觸孔形成時的製程容許範圍(Process Window)與改善半導體器件製造製程的產線產品級別控制(In-line Control)。

雖然本揭露已以實施方式揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本揭露,任何熟習此技藝者,在不脫離本揭露之精神和範圍內,當可作各種之更動與潤飾,因此本揭露之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。
