圖6是依照本發明一實施例,繪示製造電晶體的方法的流程示意圖。
隨著電晶體結構配合半導體材料的研發,薄膜電晶體的通道區域可以由氧化物半導體來達成,如此至少可以簡化電晶體的製造流程。
經過研發可知,氧化物半導體的材料一般例如是In-Ga-Zn-O(IGZO)、In-Zn-O(IZO)、In-Ga-O(IGO)、Zn-Sn-O(ZTO)、In-Sn-Zn-O(ITZO)、Hf-In-Zn-O(HIZO)、Al-Zn-Sn-O(AZTO)、Al-Zn-O(AZO)、Ga-Zn-O(GZO)、或是Zn-O(ZO),或是類似的材料等。這些材料具有半導體的特性,可以用來取代金屬半導體來形成電晶體的通道區域。
再進一步對氧化物半導體的研發,氧化物半導體可以藉由摻雜硫而提升半導體的性能,可以預期也提升電晶體的通道效能。本發明提出採用摻雜硫的氧化物半導體,以多層的方式來製造電晶體的通道區域。
以下舉多個實施例來說明本發明,但是本發明不侷限於所舉的多個實施例。在這些實施例之間也允許有適當的結合,而構成其它的實施例。
圖1是依照本發明一實施例,繪示電晶體剖面結構示意 圖。參閱圖1,以薄膜電晶體為例,其是單閘極(single-gate)的結構。在基板100上形成有閘極結構102。閘極絕緣層104形成在閘極結構102上。氧化物半導體層106形成在閘極絕緣層104上。源極結構110與汲極結構108形成在氧化物半導體層106上的兩端。於此如一般可知,源極結構110與汲極結構108是依照實際電路操作來決定,因此源極結構110與汲極結構108一般是相同的結構,可以互換。氧化物半導體層106於本實施例是摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層106。氧化物半導體層106在源極結構110與汲極結構108之間區域是當作電晶體的通道區域111。由於源極結構110與汲極結構108不是全部覆蓋氧化物半導體層106,而對應通道區域111的位置,對應源極結構110與汲極結構108之間的空間區域114,於當前的製造階段是暴露的,其暴露的表面上可能存在缺陷。本發明更提出形成另一層摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層116,其至少有一部分覆蓋於氧化物半導體層106對應通道區域111的區域,其是被源極結構110與汲極結構108所暴露的區域。氧化物半導體層116可以修護氧化物半導體層106在通道區域111缺陷。另外,氧化物半導體層116也可以延伸覆蓋過源極結構110與汲極結構108的表面。之後,保護層112形成在源極結構110與汲極結構108的上方,可以保護電晶體。
另外,關於氧化物半導體層106與氧化物半導體層116所摻雜的硫的濃度是不同,但金屬原子成分可以相同。以IGZO的氧化物半導體為例,其中In/Ga/Zn的原子比例如是4/3/2。
於圖1的實施例,其使用多層的摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層106、116,可以提升通道區域111的品質。然而本發明不限於圖1所示的電晶體結構。以下更舉多個實施例,說明本發明的技術。
圖2是依照本發明一實施例,繪示電晶體剖面結構示意圖。參閱圖2,對於單閘極的電晶體結構,其可以有不同的設計結構。例如,基部(base)的氧化物半導體層122a可以先形成在基板120上。基部氧化物半導體層122a可以摻雜硫或是無需摻雜硫。基部氧化物半導體層122a提供基板120與摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層122b之間的過渡(transition)效用,如此允許氧化物半導體層122b可以較容易形成。實際上,基部氧化物半導體層122a也可以省去。基部氧化物半導體層122a與氧化物半導體層122b整體可以視為摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層122。
源極結構124與汲極結構126形成在氧化物半導體層122的兩端。源極結構124與汲極結構126之間的間隔是要促使氧化物半導體層122在對應此間隔的區域,構成通道區域127。
另一層摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層128接著覆蓋過源極結構(S)124與汲極結構(D)126以及暴露區域的氧化物半導體層122。於此,氧化物半導體層128至少覆蓋暴露區域的氧化物半導體層122,如此可以修復氧化物半導體層122在源極結構124與汲極結構126之間的表面。另外,氧化物半導體層128也可以延伸到源極結構124與汲極結構126的表面。另外,源極結構124與 汲極結構126例如可以採用一般的導電材料即可,例如金屬氮化物,其更例如是TaN。
藉由半導體的製程,閘極絕緣層130的結構例如可以是U形狀的絕緣層。於此實施例,閘極結構(G)138是形成在U形狀的中間空間之內,其底部與側壁是由閘極絕緣層130覆蓋,而頂部沒有被閘極絕緣層130覆蓋。閘極結構138可以是單層結構或是疊層結構。本實施例是以三個疊層為例,包括底部金屬層136、鐵電(Ferroelectrics)層134以及頂部金屬層132。鐵電層134的材料例如是鋯鈦酸鉛(PZT)或是鈦酸鍶鋇(BST)。本發明的閘極結構138與閘極絕緣層130不限於所舉的實施例。
本發明所提出多層摻雜硫的氧化物半導體構成通道區域127,以提升通道區域的性能。本案技術特徵可以廣泛應用到多種電晶體。例如,所提出的通道區域也可以應用到雙閘極(dual-gate)的電晶體。圖3是依照本發明一實施例,繪示電晶體剖面結構示意圖。
參閱圖3,本實施例是雙閘極的電晶體結構。在製造上,在一基板200中先形成背閘極結構202。之後,背閘極絕緣層204形成在背閘極結構202上。背閘極絕緣層204也可以同時覆蓋基板200的其它暴露表面上。摻雜硫的氧化物半導體206形成在背閘極絕緣層204上。於此摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層206包含摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層206b當作通道區域211的主要構成部份。另外,如果需要的話,摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層206可以更包含氧 化物半導體層206a,形成在背閘極絕緣層204上,當作背閘極絕緣層204與氧化物半導體層206b之間的過渡(transition)層,以利於後續氧化物半導體層206b的形成。氧化物半導體層206a可以摻雜硫或是不摻雜硫。另外以IGZO的氧化物半導體為例,氧化物半導體層206a的In/Ga/Zn原子比例例如是1/3/2。也就是說,氧化物半導體層206a可以選擇性的使用,不是必要的構件,是可以忽略的。氧化物半導體層206b以IGZO的材料為例,其In/Ga/Zn原子比例例如是4/3/2,不同於氧化物半導體層206a。
源極結構(S)208與汲極結構(D)210形成於氧化物半導體層206上。氧化物半導體層206在源極結構208與汲極結構210之間的區域是用來構成通道區域211。本發明提出再形成另外的摻雜硫的氧化物半導體214至少覆蓋在氧化物半導體層206的通道區域211上。另外,源極結構208與汲極結構210也可以在其頂表面,依照設計,可以再形成金屬氧化層212於源極結構208與汲極結構210上,但不是必要的構件。
於本發明一實施例,另一層摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層214至少形成於氧化物半導體層206b上,在源極結構208與汲極結構210之間的暴露表面上,其構成通道區域211。氧化物半導體層214例如可以修補通道區域211的暴露表面的缺陷,提升通道區域211的性能(performance)。於一實施例,氧化物半導體層214更可以延伸覆蓋源極結構208與汲極結構210。於一實施例,氧化物半導體層214與氧化物半導體層206(206a)的硫的摻雜濃度可以是不同。
本實施例是以雙閘極電晶體的結構為例,因此另一層閘極絕緣層218會形成在氧化物半導體層214上。之後,閘極結構216形成在閘極絕緣層218上方,其中依實際需要,閘極結構216可以是疊層結構,例如會包含阻障層220。本發明的閘極結構216可以是其它的設計,一般而言,不需要限制於特定結構。閘極結構216相對於背閘極結構202也可以稱為前閘極結構216。
圖3的雙閘極電晶體的結構也不是唯一的方式。本發明也適用於其它的雙閘極電晶體。再舉一實施例,圖4是依照本發明一實施例,繪示電晶體剖面結構示意圖。
參閱圖4,在基板200上先形成背閘極結構202。閘極絕緣層204接著形成於基板200上,覆蓋背閘極結構202。摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層206形成於閘極絕緣層204上。源極結構208與汲極結構210形成在氧化物半導體層206上的兩端。依照實際需要,源極結構208與汲極結構210的底部也可以包含抗氧化層208’、210’,但是本發明不限於所舉實施例。
依照本發明提出的技術,再一層的氧化物半導體層214至少形成在氧化物半導體層206上且在源極結構208與汲極結構210之間對應通道區域211的表面上。如前面的描述,氧化物半導體層214也是摻雜硫,但是硫的摻雜濃度與氧化物半導體層206的硫的摻雜濃度可以不同。氧化物半導體層214也可以延申覆蓋源極結構208與汲極結構210上。
接著,閘極絕緣層218形成在氧化物半導體層214上。 另一個閘極結構222,形成在閘極絕緣層218上,其底部位在源極結構208與汲極結構210之間的通道區域211的上方。閘極結構222可以是單層結構或是疊層結構,無需限制。
再於一實施例,本發明提出雙閘極電晶體的另一種結構。圖5是依照本發明一實施例,繪示電晶體剖面結構示意圖。參閱圖5,在基板200上先形成背閘極結構202。閘極絕緣層204接著形成於基板200上,覆蓋背閘極結構202。摻雜硫的氧化物半導體層206形成於閘極絕緣層202上。源極結構208與汲極結構210形成在氧化物半導體層206上的兩端。
依照本發明提出的技術,再一層的氧化物半導體層214至少形成在氧化物半導體層206上且在源極結構214與汲極結構210之間對應通道區域211的表面上。於本實施例,氧化物半導體層214也可以延申覆蓋源極結構208與汲極結構210,而且延伸到氧化物半導體層206的外側邊,與氧化物半導體層206接觸。如前面的描述,氧化物半導體層214也是摻雜硫,但是硫的摻雜濃度與氧化物半導體層206的硫的摻雜濃度可以不同。氧化物半導體層206主要包括氧化物半導體層206b。而如前述,氧化物半導體層206也可以包含氧化物半導體層206a,其可以摻雜硫或是不摻雜硫,可以提供過度的作用以利於氧化物半導體層206b的形成。
在完成氧化物半導體層206後,閘極絕緣層218形成在氧化物半導體層214上,且閘極絕緣層218的周邊部分會與在背部的閘極絕緣層204合併。另一個閘極結構222形成在對應閘極 絕緣層218上,其位置是相對於源極結構208與汲極結構210之間的通道區域的位置。再者,保護層224可以覆蓋整個電晶體結構,提供保護作用。
本發明也提出製造電晶體結構的方法。圖6是依照本發明一實施例,繪示製造電晶體的方法的流程示意圖。參閱圖6,於一實施例,製造電晶體結構的方法,例如配合圖3或圖4的元件標號,包括步驟S100,其提供結構基板200/202/204/206,具有摻雜硫的第一氧化物半導體層206。於步驟S102,其形成源極結構208與汲極結構210在該第一氧化物半導體層206上,其中該第一氧化物半導體層206在該源極結構208與該汲極結構210之間的通道區域211被暴露。於步驟S104,其形成摻雜硫的第二氧化物半導體層214,至少在該第一氧化物半導體層206的該通道區域211上。
雖然本發明已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明的精神和範圍內,當可作些許的更動與潤飾,故本發明的保護範圍當視後附的申請專利範圍所界定者為準。
