半導體裝置之製造方法
本發明係有關於半導體裝置之製造方法,例如係有關於使用SOI基板的半導體裝置之製造技術所適用之有效技術。
對於半導體基板上所形成之MISFET(金屬絕緣半導體場效電晶體;Metal Insulator Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)所要求的特性之一,包括降低洩漏電流。尤其在閘極長度為90nm以下的MISFET,抑制洩漏電流中的其中一項——GIDL(閘極引發汲極漏電流;Gate Induced Drain Leakage)一事就很重要。例如,在專利文獻1,揭露著一種技術,以作為這種GIDL所造成之洩漏電流的對策,是要將外延區(extension area)分開形成為:高濃度且形成於較深位置的區域、以及低濃度且形成於較淺位置的區域。
另一方面,作為適於低耗電的半導體裝置,有一種技術,係在SOI(絕緣層上覆矽;Silicon On Insulator)基板形成MISFET。例如,於專利文獻2,揭露一種技術,係在同一個半導體晶片內,分別作出:形成於SOI基板之MISFET、以及形成於半導體基板的MISFET。 [習知技術文獻] [專利文獻]

依本發明一實施形態,能兼顧到半導體裝置之可靠性及性能。

以下,將根據圖式,詳細說明實施形態。又,用於說明實施形態的所有圖式中,對於具有相同功能之構件會標示相同符號,並省略重複說明。再者,於下述實施形態,除非特別有需要,否則原則上不會重複相同或同樣部分之說明。
再者,用於實施形態的圖式,有時會為了易於辨識圖式而省略影線。
(實施形態) <關於半導體裝置之製程> 使用圖1~圖15,說明本實施形態之半導體裝置製程。
於本實施形態將例示:在同一半導體基板SB上,形成n型之低耐壓MISFET Q1、p型之低耐壓MISFET Q3、n型之高耐壓MISFET Q2及p型之高耐壓MISFET Q4。
在此,MISFET Q1及MISFET Q3係可比MISFET Q2及MISFET Q4更為高速動作的電晶體,用於邏輯電路或SRAM(靜態隨機存取記憶體;Static Random Access Memory)等。MISFET Q2及MISFET Q4,係較MISFET Q1及MISFET Q3具有更高耐壓的電晶體,用於輸入/輸出保護電路等。又,MISFET Q1及MISFET Q3之閘極長度及閘極絶緣膜的厚度,分別小於MISFET Q2及MISFET Q4之閘極長度及閘極絶緣膜的厚度。再者,MISFET Q1及MISFET Q3之閘極長度,係90nm以下。
於圖1~圖15所示之區域1A,係形成MISFET Q1之區域,區域2A係形成MISFET Q2之區域,區域3A係形成MISFET Q3之區域,區域4A係形成MISFET Q4之區域。
簡單說明到達圖1所示之結構為止的過程。首先,備妥所謂SOI基板,其具有:作為支撐基板的半導體基板SB、形成在半導體基板SB上的絶緣層BX、以及形成在絶緣層BX上的半導體層SM。
半導體基板SB較佳係由具有1~10Ωcm左右之比電阻的單晶矽所構成,例如由p型之單晶矽所構成。絶緣層BX例如由二氧化矽所構成,絶緣層BX的厚度係例如10~20nm左右。半導體層SM,較佳係由具有1~10Ωcm左右之比電阻的單晶矽所構成,半導體層SM的厚度係例如10~20nm左右。又,對於半導體層SM,並未透過離子植入等等導入雜質。
SOI基板之製造方法並無限制,例如能以SIMOX(氧離子植入矽晶隔離法;Separation by IMplanted OXygen)法製造。於SIMOX法,係以高能量對矽(Si)所構成的半導體基板,將氧(O2 )離子植入;並在其後續的熱處理,使矽與氧結合,而在比半導體基板之表面再稍微深一點的位置,形成二氧化矽所構成的絶緣層BX。在此情況下,殘存在絶緣層BX上的矽薄膜會成為半導體層SM,而絶緣層BX下的半導體基板就成為半導體基板SB。再者,亦可藉由貼合法而形成SOI基板。貼合法係使例如矽所構成的第1半導體基板之表面加以氧化而形成絶緣層BX之後,藉由在高溫下將矽所構成的第2半導體基板壓接於該第1半導體基板而貼合,之後再使第2半導體基板薄膜化。在此情況下,殘存於絶緣層BX上的第2半導體基板之薄膜就成為半導體層SM,而在絶緣層BX下的第1半導體基板就成為半導體基板SB。除此之外的手法,還可以使用例如智切法(smart cut process)等等來製造SOI基板。
接著,如貫穿半導體層SM、絶緣層BX及半導體基板SB般地形成凹槽,並藉由在凹槽內埋入絶緣膜以形成元件分離部(省略圖示)。各區域1A~4A就藉由元件分離部而彼此分離。
接著,在區域1A的半導體基板SB,藉由光微影法及離子植入法而形成n型井層DNW1,並在井層DNW1內形成p型井層PW1。井層PW1係與後述之閘極電極G1一同發揮MISFET Q1之閘極功能的區域;係透過對井層PW1施加獨立於閘極電極G1的電壓,而用來控制MISFET Q1之臨界值的區域。又,為了對井層PW1施加電壓,會去除區域1A之半導體層SM及絶緣層BX的局部,以露出井層PW1而作為供電區域,但在此省略供電區域之說明。再者,亦可在與絶緣層BX相接之井層PW1的表面,形成濃度高於井層PW1的p型雜質區域。
接著,藉由光微影法及離子植入法,而在區域3A的半導體基板SB,形成n型井層NW1。井層NW1係與後述之閘極電極G3一同發揮MISFET Q3之閘極功能的區域;係透過對井層NW1施加獨立於閘極電極G3的電壓,而用來控制MISFET Q3之臨界值的區域。又,為了對井層NW1施加電壓,會去除區域3A之半導體層SM及絶緣層BX的局部,以露出井層NW1而作為供電區域,但在此省略供電區域之說明。再者,亦可在與絶緣層BX相接之井層NW1的表面,形成濃度高於井層NW1的n型雜質區域。
又,於區域1A及區域3A的半導體層SM,不進行以調整臨界值等等為目的之離子植入,並未導入雜質。
接著,在區域2A的半導體基板SB,藉由光微影法及離子植入法,形成n型井層DNW2,並在井層DNW2內形成p型井層PW2。接著,在區域4A的半導體基板SB,藉由光微影法及離子植入法,形成n型井層NW2。
又,於區域2A及區域4A的半導體基板SB,可以進行以調整臨界值等等為目的之離子植入。
接著,藉由選擇性地依序去除區域2A及區域4A的半導體層SM與絶緣層BX,而保留區域1A及區域3A的半導體層SM與絶緣層BX,以使區域2A及區域4A的半導體基板SB露出。
藉由以上之步驟,就會達成圖1所示之結構。
接著,如圖2所示,使用熱氧化法等等,而分別在區域1A的半導體層SM上形成閘極絶緣膜GI1、在區域3A的半導體層SM上形成閘極絶緣膜GI3、在區域2A的半導體基板SB上形成閘極絶緣膜GI2、在區域4A的半導體基板SB上形成閘極絶緣膜GI4。在此,閘極絶緣膜GI2及閘極絶緣膜GI4的膜厚,分別大於閘極絶緣膜GI1及閘極絶緣膜GI3的膜厚。
如此這般,針對作為改變各閘極絶緣膜GI1~GI4的膜厚之手法之一,進行說明如下。首先,使用熱氧化法,在區域1A及區域3A的半導體層SM上、以及區域2A及區域4A的半導體基板SB上,形成膜厚較厚的二氧化矽膜。接著,使用光微影法及乾蝕刻法,選擇性地去除區域1A及區域3A之膜厚較厚的二氧化矽膜。接著,藉由再度使用熱氧化法,而在區域1A及區域3A的半導體層SM上,形成膜厚較薄的二氧化矽膜。
再者,於各閘極絶緣膜GI1~GI4上,亦可藉由例如CVD(化學氣相沈積;Chemical Vapor Deposition)法,形成例如氧化鉿或氧化鉭所構成、且介電常數高於二氧化矽的薄膜,而用作為各閘極絶緣膜GI1~GI4之局部。
接著,在各閘極絶緣膜GI1~GI4上,藉由例如CVD法,而形成例如多晶矽膜以作為導電性膜。接著,藉由光微影法及離子植入法,透過選擇性地對多晶矽膜導入雜質,而使區域1A及區域2A的多晶矽膜成為n型,使區域3A及區域4A的多晶矽膜成為p型。接著,在多晶矽膜上,藉由例如CVD法,而形成例如氮化矽膜以作為絶緣膜。接著,對氮化矽膜與多晶矽膜的積層膜,進行圖案化。藉此,會在閘極絶緣膜GI1上形成閘極電極G1及頂蓋(cap)膜CP1,在閘極絶緣膜GI2上形成閘極電極G2及頂蓋膜CP2,在閘極絶緣膜GI3上形成閘極電極G3及頂蓋膜CP3,在閘極絶緣膜GI4上形成閘極電極G4及頂蓋膜CP4。再者,各閘極電極G1~G4下方以外的各閘極絶緣膜GI1~GI4,亦可去除。又,各閘極電極G1~G4的厚度係60nm~120nm左右,各頂蓋膜CP1~CP4的厚度係10nm~30nm左右。
又,構成各閘極電極G1~G4的導電性膜,並不限定於多晶矽膜,亦可是金屬膜、或多晶矽膜與金屬膜的積層膜。再者,構成各頂蓋膜CP1~CP4的絶緣膜,並不限定於氮化矽,亦可係其他材料;不過若係與後文說明之側壁間隙子SW1及側壁間隙子SW2相同的材料來形成會更佳。
接著,如圖3所示,區域1A及區域3A的半導體層SM上、以及區域2A及區域4A的半導體基板SB上,藉由CVD法等等,形成例如二氧化矽所構成的絶緣膜OS,以包覆各閘極電極G1~G4及各頂蓋膜CP1~CP4。又,絶緣膜OS的膜厚係2nm~5nm左右。
再者,亦可於形成絶緣膜OS前,在各閘極電極G1~G4的上表面及側面,藉由CVD法等等而形成例如氮化矽所構成的絶緣膜;之後再藉由進行異向性蝕刻而在各閘極電極G1~G4的側面,形成偏位(offset)間隙子。
接著,如圖4所示,在各區域1A~4A的絶緣膜OS上,藉由CVD法等等,而形成例如氮化矽所構成的絶緣膜SN。接著,使用光微影法,形成光阻圖案,其覆蓋區域2A及區域4A之絶緣膜SN、並使區域1A及區域3A之絶緣膜SN開口。接著,藉由以此光阻圖案為遮罩、對區域1A及區域3A的絶緣膜SN進行異向性蝕刻,藉此而在區域1A及區域3A,分別形成側壁間隙子SW1。又,在MISFET Q1及MISFET Q3之閘極長度方向上之側壁間隙子SW1的寬度係15nm~40nm左右。接著,藉由進行乾蝕刻或濕蝕刻處理,而去除從側壁間隙子SW1露出之半導體層SM上、頂蓋膜CP1上及頂蓋膜CP3上所形成的絶緣膜OS。
接著,如圖5所示,藉由磊晶成長,而在區域1A及區域3A的半導體層SM上,形成例如單晶矽所構成的磊晶層EP(半導體層EP)。半導體層EP的膜厚係20nm~40nm左右。此時,由於區域1A及區域3A之閘極電極G1及閘極電極G3,分別覆蓋著頂蓋膜CP1及頂蓋膜CP3,因此在閘極電極G1上及閘極電極G3上並不會形成磊晶層EP。再者,由於區域2A及區域4A覆蓋著絶緣膜SN,因此不會形成磊晶層EP。
再者,此磊晶成長,較佳係在尚未以離子植入等等而對半導體層SM進行雜質導入之狀態下進行,例如較佳係在形成後述之外延區EX1及外延區EX2前就進行。
其理由係:若在因為離子植入步驟而蒙受損傷的半導體層SM上形成磊晶層EP,則會由於前述損傷而使得構成半導體層SM之矽的結晶性產生不均,磊晶層EP不會妥善成長。其結果,磊晶層EP恐有無法形成為所要的膜厚及形狀之虞。亦即,雖然在半導體基板SB之面內,存在有複數之MISFET Q1及MISFET Q3,但各別的MISFET之磊晶層EP的膜厚及形狀,會有不均之虞。從而,在本實施形態的半導體裝置,係於形成外延區EX1及外延區EX2之前,就進行磊晶層EP之形成。
又,由於磊晶層EP與半導體層SM係相同材料,因此會一體化;但於本實施形態,為求易於理解發明,而以虛線標示磊晶層EP與半導體層SM間的境界。再者,由於在藉由後續步驟,而於磊晶層EP內及半導體層SM內形成擴散層SD1及擴散層SD2之際,磊晶層EP之圖示會變得非常難以判讀,因此在圖式中就以箭頭標示出磊晶層EP。
接著,如圖6所示,形成光阻圖案RP1,以覆蓋區域1A及區域3A,並使區域2A及區域4A開口。接著,藉由以光阻圖案RP1為遮罩進行異向性蝕刻,以對區域2A及區域4A的絶緣膜SN進行加工,而在閘極電極G2的側面及閘極電極G4的側面,分別隔著絶緣膜OS而形成側壁間隙子SW2。接著,藉由進行乾蝕刻或濕蝕刻處理,而去除從側壁間隙子SW2露出之半導體基板SB上、頂蓋膜CP2上及頂蓋膜CP4上所形成的絶緣膜OS。之後,藉由灰化處理以去除光阻圖案RP1。
接著,如圖7所示,藉由相對於絶緣膜OS具有高選擇性的蝕刻,而在區域1A及區域3A,去除側壁間隙子SW1、頂蓋膜CP1及頂蓋膜CP3;並在區域2A及區域4A,去除側壁間隙子SW2、頂蓋膜CP2及頂蓋膜CP4。因此,已形成在各閘極電極G1~G4之側面的絶緣膜OS,就幾乎不會受到蝕刻地殘存下來。再者,由於側壁間隙子SW1及側壁間隙子SW2係以相同於各頂蓋絶緣膜CP1~CP4之材料所形成,因此可將該等同時去除。如此一來,由於不需要進行遮罩的追加,因此可使製程簡略化。
接著,如圖8所示,形成光阻圖案RP2,以覆蓋區域1A、區域3A及區域4A,並使區域2A開口。接著,藉由以光阻圖案RP2為遮罩,透過離子植入法而對區域2A的半導體基板SB導入雜質,以形成具有n型導電性的半導體區域LDD1。半導體區域LDD1,會是MISFET Q2之源極區域或汲極區域的局部。用以形成半導體區域LDD1的雜質,係例如磷(P)或砷(As);離子植入的條件係能量為20~40keV,劑量為1×1013 ~2×1014 /cm2 左右。再者,用以形成半導體區域LDD1之離子植入,係使用斜向離子植入,以使半導體區域LDD1會到達閘極電極G2的正下方;例如從相對於半導體基板SB的垂直線係15度以上、45度以下的傾斜角度進行。再者,此斜向離子植入,相對於半導體基板SB而從垂直線傾斜之角度,係大於後述之垂直離子植入。之後,就以灰化處理去除光阻圖案RP2。
接著,如圖9所示,形成光阻圖案RP3,以覆蓋區域2A、區域3A及區域4A,並使區域1A開口。接著,藉由以光阻圖案RP3為遮罩,透過離子植入法而對區域1A的半導體層SM及磊晶層EP導入雜質,以形成具有n型導電性的外延區EX1(半導體區域EX1)。外延區EX1,會是MISFET Q1之源極區域或汲極區域的局部。用以形成外延區EX1的雜質,係例如砷(As);離子植入之條件係能量為2~5keV,劑量為1×1014 ~6×1014 /cm2 左右。
又,用以形成外延區EX1之離子植入,係以垂直離子植入所進行,例如係以相對於半導體基板SB幾乎垂直之角度所進行。在此所記載之幾乎垂直的角度,代表離子不會被磊晶層EP遮住,就能到達絶緣膜OS下的半導體層SM之角度;例如代表相對於半導體基板SB係垂直之角度、或相對於半導體基板SB之垂直線起算之傾斜為10度以下之範圍的角度。再者,此垂直離子植入之角度,小於前述之斜向離子植入的角度。
採用此種垂直離子植入之理由,係由於磊晶層EP之上表面高度,相對來說高於半導體層SM之上表面,所以進行離子植入的角度若大於上述幾乎垂直之角度,就會被磊晶層EP擋到。從而,為了在閘極電極G1兩側的半導體層SM(絶緣膜OS下的半導體層SM),以離子植入來形成外延區EX1,就必須藉由上述幾乎垂直之角度來進行。
然而,若進行垂直離子植入,則離子的一部分,有時會由於形成在閘極電極G1之側面的絶緣膜OS之膜厚而被擋到,導致外延區EX1容易形成在未到達閘極電極G1之正下方的位置、或僅稍微到達閘極電極G1之正下方的位置。亦即,外延區EX1之端部,形成在不與閘極電極G1重疊之位置、或與閘極電極G1稍微重疊之位置。因此,相較於假設沒有磊晶層EP、並且可採用斜向離子植入的情況,MISFET Q1之實際通道長度會增加,因此會導致MISFET Q1之導通電流降低的問題。
有鑑於此,本案發明人探討透過熱處理步驟之努力,而使外延區EX1形成為充分到達閘極電極G1之正下方,其結果,乃能兼顧到半導體裝置的可靠性及性能。關於此探討的詳情,將於後文詳細說明。
再者,用以形成外延區EX1的離子植入,由於係在半導體層SM上殘留有絶緣膜OS之狀態下進行,因此可以減輕在半導體層SM中發生離子植入所導致之損傷的情形。此種損傷之減輕,有助於MISFET Q1之導通電流的增加。
在形成外延區EX1後,藉由灰化處理以去除圖9所示之光阻圖案RP3。之後,藉由以900℃以上、並且100秒以上之條件,例如950℃、並且120秒,而對半導體基板SB施行第1熱處理,以使半導體區域LDD1及外延區EX1所含有之雜質活化。藉此,外延區EX1會擴散到閘極電極G1之正下方。具體而言,構成外延區EX1之雜質——砷(As),會在2nm以上、且係10nm以下的範圍擴散。又,施行此第1熱處理的時間,要比施行後述之第2熱處理的時間更長。
再者,藉由在形成於區域2A的n型半導體區域LDD1、以及形成於區域1A的n型外延區EX1,同時施行第1熱處理,而可以謀求製程之簡略化。
接著,如圖10所示,形成光阻圖案RP4,以覆蓋區域1A、區域2A及區域3A,並使區域4A開口。接著,藉由以光阻圖案RP4為遮罩,透過離子植入法而對區域4A的半導體基板SB導入雜質,以形成具有p型導電性的半導體區域LDD2。半導體區域LDD2,會是MISFET Q4之源極區域或汲極區域的局部。用以形成半導體區域LDD2的雜質,係例如二氟化硼(BF2 );離子植入的條件係使能量為20~40keV,劑量為1×1013 ~2×1014 /cm2 左右。再者,用以形成半導體區域LDD2之離子植入,係進行與半導體區域LDD1之形成步驟同樣的斜向離子植入。之後,就以灰化處理去除光阻圖案RP4。
接著,如圖11所示,形成光阻圖案RP5,以覆蓋區域1A、區域2A及區域4A,並使區域3A開口。接著,藉由以光阻圖案RP5為遮罩,透過離子植入法而對區域3A的半導體層SM及磊晶層EP導入雜質,以形成具有p型導電性的外延區EX2(半導體區域EX2)。外延區EX2,會是MISFET Q3之源極區域或汲極區域的局部。用以形成外延區EX2的雜質,係例如二氟化硼(BF2 );離子植入的條件係能量為2~5keV,劑量為1×1014 ~6×1014 /cm2 左右。再者,用以形成外延區EX2之離子植入,係進行與外延區EX1之形成步驟同樣的垂直離子植入。之後,就以灰化處理去除光阻圖案RP5。
接著,如圖12所示,在各閘極電極G1~G4之側面上,分別形成側壁間隙子SW3。側壁間隙子SW3形成步驟,可如以下敍述般進行:首先,於各區域1A~4A,形成例如氮化矽膜所構成的絶緣膜以覆蓋各閘極電極G1~G4及絶緣膜OS。接著,藉由對此絶緣膜進行異向性蝕刻,而隔著絶緣膜OS,在各閘極電極G1~G4的側面上,分別形成側壁間隙子SW3。
又,於區域1A及區域3A,側壁間隙子SW3之端部係位於磊晶層EP之上表面。此係由於在後述之矽化物膜SL形成步驟,要防止構成矽化物膜SL之原料金屬與磊晶層EP過度反應,而導致矽化物膜SL到達絶緣膜OS下的半導體層SM。
接著,如圖13所示,形成光阻圖案RP6,以覆蓋區域3A及區域4A,並使區域1A及區域2A開口。接著,藉由以光阻圖案RP6為遮罩,透過離子植入法而對區域1A的磊晶層EP及半導體層SM、以及區域2A的半導體基板SB導入雜質,以在區域1A形成具有n型導電性的擴散層SD1(半導體區域SD1),並在區域2A形成具有n型導電性的擴散層SD2(半導體區域SD2)。擴散層SD1,會是MISFET Q1之源極區域或汲極區域的局部。再者,擴散層SD2,會是MISFET Q2之源極區域或汲極區域的局部。又,擴散層SD1的雜質濃度會高於外延區EX1的雜質濃度,擴散層SD2的雜質濃度會高於半導體區域LDD1的雜質濃度。再者,用以形成擴散層SD1及擴散層SD2的雜質,係例如磷(P)或砷(As);離子植入的條件係能量為5~30keV,劑量為1×1015 ~1×1016 /cm2 左右。之後,就以灰化處理去除光阻圖案RP6。
又,於本實施形態,雖係同時進行用以形成擴散層SD1及擴散層SD2的離子植入,但這些離子植入亦可使用個別之光阻圖案,而分別獨立進行。
接著,如圖14所示,形成光阻圖案RP7,以覆蓋區域1A及區域2A,並使區域3A及區域4A開口。接著,藉由以光阻圖案RP7為遮罩,透過離子植入法而對區域3A的磊晶層EP及半導體層SM、以及區域4A的半導體基板SB導入雜質,以在區域3A形成具有p型導電性的擴散層SD3(半導體區域SD3),並在區域4A形成具有p型導電性的擴散層SD4(半導體區域SD4)。擴散層SD3,會是MISFET Q3之源極區域或汲極區域的局部。再者,擴散層SD4,會是MISFET Q4之源極區域或汲極區域的局部。又,擴散層SD3的雜質濃度會高於外延區EX2的雜質濃度,擴散層SD4的雜質濃度會高於半導體區域LDD2的雜質濃度。再者,用以形成擴散層SD3及擴散層SD4的雜質,係例如硼(B);離子植入的條件係能量為1~5keV,劑量為1×1015 ~1×1016 /cm2 左右。之後,就以灰化處理去除光阻圖案RP7。
又,於本實施形態,雖係同時進行用以形成擴散層SD3及擴散層SD4的離子植入,但這些離子植入亦可使用個別之光阻圖案,而分別獨立進行。
之後,藉由以900℃以上、並且1秒以下之條件,例如1050℃、0.1秒,而對半導體基板SB施行第2熱處理,以使半導體區域LDD2、外延區EX2及擴散層SD1~SD4所含有之雜質活化。在此,雖然會對先前已施行過第1熱處理的n型半導體區域LDD1及n型外延區EX1,也施行第2熱處理,但由於第2熱處理的時間相較於第1熱處理的時間係非常短,所以半導體區域LDD1及n型外延區EX1的擴散長度幾乎不會變化。又,如第2熱處理般短時間的熱處理,一般而言係稱為抑制TED(暫態增強擴散;Transient Enhanced Diffusion)之退火或尖峰式退火(Spike Annealing)。
接著,如圖15所示,藉由「自我對準金屬矽化物(Salicide:Self Aligned Silicide)」技術,而分別在各擴散層SD1~SD4上及各閘極電極G1~G4上,形成低電阻的矽化物膜SL。
矽化物膜SL,具體而言可如下述般形成。於各區域1A~區域4A,形成用以形成矽化物膜SL之金屬膜,以覆蓋各閘極電極G1~G4。此金屬膜,係例如由鈷、鎳或鎳鉑合金所構成。接著,藉由對半導體基板SB施行熱處理,而使各擴散層SD1~SD4及各閘極電極G1~G4,與金屬膜反應。藉此,會分別在各擴散層SD1~SD4上及各閘極電極G1~G4上,形成矽化物膜SL。之後,去除未反應之金屬膜。藉由形成矽化物膜SL,而可以降低各擴散層SD1~SD4及各閘極電極G1~G4中之擴散電阻及接觸電阻。
藉由上述,而形成各MISFET Q1~Q4。
接著,在各區域1A~區域4A,形成層間絶緣膜IL0,以覆蓋各MISFET Q1~Q4。作為層間絶緣膜IL0,可以使用二氧化矽膜的單體膜、或氮化矽膜與其上所形成之厚層的二氧化矽膜之積層膜等等。在形成層間絶緣膜IL0後,亦可視需要而以CMP(化學式機械研磨法;Chemical Mechanical Polishing)法研磨層間絶緣膜IL0之上表面。
接著,藉由光微影法及乾蝕刻法等等,而在層間絶緣膜IL0內形成接觸窗;並藉由在接觸窗內埋入鎢(W)等等所構成的導電性膜,而在層間絶緣膜IL0內形成插塞PG。
接著,在已埋入插塞PG的層間絶緣膜IL0上,形成層間絶緣膜IL1。之後,在層間絶緣膜IL1形成配線用的凹槽後,在配線用的凹槽內埋入例如以銅為主成分的導電性膜,藉以在層間絶緣膜IL1內形成與插塞PG連接之第1配線M1。此第1配線M1的結構,稱為所謂鑲嵌式(Damascene)配線結構。
之後,藉由雙重鑲嵌(Dual Damascene)法等等,以形成第2層以後的配線,但在此省略圖示及其說明。再者,第1配線M1及比第1配線M1更為上層之配線,並不限定於鑲嵌式配線結構,亦可以圖案化來形成導電性膜,又例如可為鎢配線或鋁配線。
如上所述,製造本實施形態的半導體裝置。
<關於半導體裝置之製造方法的主要特徴> 本實施形態中的半導體裝置之製造方法的主要特徴,係圖9所說明之第1熱處理;其特點係對於在區域1A所形成的n型外延區EX1,施行長時間的熱處理。
關於此特點,包含第1熱處理、與圖14所說明之第2熱處理等等之間的關係,於下文進行說明。
圖16簡潔地歸納了本實施形態所說明過的製程當中,與本實施形態之主要特徴相關的離子植入步驟及熱處理步驟。
於形成各閘極電極G1~G4後,形成n型半導體區域LDD1與n型外延區EX1。
之後,以900℃以上、並且100秒以上之條件,例如950℃、並且120秒,而對半導體基板SB施行第1熱處理。此第1熱處理,係使外延區EX1確實地擴散到閘極電極G1之正下方的熱處理。具體而言,構成外延區EX1之雜質——砷(As),會在2nm以上、且係10nm以下的範圍擴散。
接著,藉由離子植入法,而依序形成:p型半導體區域LDD2、p型外延區EX2、n型之擴散層SD1、n型之擴散層SD2、p型之擴散層SD3及p型之擴散層SD4。
之後藉由以900℃以上、並且1秒以下之條件,例如1050℃、0.1秒,而對半導體基板SB施行第2熱處理,以進行上述之各雜質區域的活化。亦即,第2熱處理要以短於第1熱處理的時間進行。
由於構成n型雜質的磷(P)或砷(As)的擴散係數,原本就低於構成p型雜質的硼(B)或二氟化硼(BF2 ),所以難以擴散。更進一步地,如同以圖9所進行過的說明,若如半導體區域LDD1般,以斜向離子植入來形成外延區EX1,有時就會被磊晶層EP擋到,因此採用垂直離子植入來形成。從而,在完成垂直離子植入的時間點,外延區EX1的端部,會形成在不與閘極電極G1重疊之位置、或與閘極電極G1稍微重疊之位置。因此,為了使n型雜質所構成之外延區EX1能確實地擴散到閘極電極G1之正下方,需要使得在形成半導體區域LDD1與外延區EX1之後所進行的第1熱處理的時間較長。
例如,若以短時間進行之第2熱處理來使外延區EX1擴散,則難以使n型雜質所構成之外延區EX1確實地擴散到閘極電極G1之正下方。話說回來,若使第2熱處理的時間延長為與第1熱處理大致相同,則由於p型雜質的擴散係數較高,因此p型雜質所構成之外延區EX2會過度擴散,導致MISFET Q3之短通道特性劣化。再者,硼等的p型雜質,若熱處理的時間過長,就會被拉向閘極絶緣膜GI3。因此會由於在閘極絶緣膜GI3與半導體層SM間的介面形成局部高濃度區域,而導致電場集中在閘極絶緣膜GI3的局部,也就是造成所謂堆積(pile-up)的問題。又,此堆積的問題,在MISFET Q4的半導體區域LDD2也同樣會發生。從而,第2熱處理係以短時間進行為佳。
再者,擴散層SD1~SD4並不需要加長擴散長度,反而由於作為p型雜質的擴散層SD3及擴散層SD4,也會有發生上述堆積問題之虞,因此第2熱處理係以短時間進行為佳。
基於上述,n型外延區EX1,必須要比p型外延區EX2及p型半導體區域LDD2更早形成,並且以長時間進行之第1熱處理來使其擴散。換言之,為了使p型外延區EX2及p型半導體區域LDD2,不因為長時間進行之第1熱處理而導致過度擴散,因此需要在進行過第1熱處理後再形成。藉此,就不會對p型半導體區域LDD2及p型外延區EX2產生不良影響,而能使得形成在區域1A的n型外延區EX1,確實地擴散到閘極電極G1之正下方。
再者,詳情容待後述之圖20進行說明,由於藉由對外延區EX1施行長時間的第1熱處理,可以加長外延區EX1的擴散長度,所以可以增加MISFET Q1的導通電流。再者,藉由長時間的熱處理,使得離子植入導致的損傷得以修復,此點亦能增加導通電流。然後,由於隨著外延區EX1的擴散長度加大,在外延區EX1之端部的濃度分佈,會更加和緩,因此可以降低GIDL所造成之洩漏電流。從而,能兼顧告到半導體裝置之可靠性及性能。
於下文中,將藉由比較探討例1~3,說明本案發明人之所以構思本實施形態的半導體裝置之製造方法的經過。
<關於比較探討例1> 於比較探討例1,並不使用SOI基板,而是以在半導體基板SB形成高耐壓MISFET及低耐壓MISFET的半導體裝置、且閘極長度為150nm以上之世代的半導體裝置為對象。
圖17簡潔地歸納了比較探討例1的半導體裝置之製造方法當中,與本實施形態之主要特徴相關的離子植入步驟及熱處理步驟。
如圖17所示,首先形成各閘極電極G1~G4。之後,藉由離子植入法,依序形成:n型半導體區域LDD1、p型半導體區域LDD2、n型外延區EX1、p型外延區EX2、n型之擴散層SD1、n型之擴散層SD2、p型之擴散層SD3及p型之擴散層SD4。
接著,藉由對半導體基板SB施行例如950℃、120秒的熱處理,以進行各雜質區域的活化及擴散。此熱處理的條件,對應於本實施形態所示之第1熱處理的條件。
於比較探討例1的半導體裝置,由於閘極長度又長,閘極絶緣膜的膜厚又厚,因此不像後文之比較探討例2的說明所述般,有那麼顯著的短通道特性劣化及堆積的問題等等。所以,比較探討例1的半導體裝置,係在形成各雜質區域後,施行長時間的熱處理來製造。因此,微細化更為進步的本實施形態之半導體裝置,並不能直接採用比較探討例1的熱處理方法。
<關於比較探討例2> 於比較探討例2,並不使用SOI基板,而是以在半導體基板SB形成高耐壓MISFET及低耐壓MISFET的半導體裝置、且閘極長度為例如90nm~65nm之世代的半導體裝置為對象。
相較於比較探討例1,比較探討例2由於閘極長度縮短,使得低耐壓MISFET的短通道特性劣化變得更加顯著。因此,若使用比較探討例1的熱處理,則雜質的擴散會過大,所以比較探討例1的製造方法就無法因應微細化。再者,為了改善短通道特性,而將形成有p型雜質所構成之環狀區域(halo region)的結構,套用在閘極電極G1下的通道區域。因此,堆積的問題也更為顯著。從而,為了抑制雜質之擴散,就套用了能在短時間進行熱處理的抑制TED之退火。
更進一步地,除了這些狀況以外,再加上低耐壓MISFET之微細化,而需要使n型外延區EX1及p型外延區EX2形成得更淺、並且要是高濃度。因此,就開始產生了GIDL所造成的漏電問題。
圖18簡潔地歸納了比較探討例2的半導體裝置之製造方法當中,與本實施形態之主要特徴相關的離子植入步驟及熱處理步驟。
如圖18所示,首先形成各閘極電極G1~G4。之後,藉由離子植入法,形成n型半導體區域LDD1。之後,藉由對半導體基板SB施行例如950℃、120秒的熱處理,以使n型半導體區域LDD1擴散及活化。此熱處理的條件,對應於本實施形態所示之第1熱處理的條件。
接著,形成p型半導體區域LDD2、n型外延區EX1及p型環狀區域。又,n型外延區EX1及p型之環狀區域,係以斜向離子植入,而使其形成為位在閘極電極G1下方。之後,對半導體基板SB施行例如920℃、0.1秒的抑制TED之退火。此抑制TED之退火,主要是為了使環狀區域活化而進行的。藉由使環狀區域的p型雜質先行活化,而讓後續的熱處理不易導致形成位置變動。
接著,依序形成:p型外延區EX2、n型之環狀區域、n型之擴散層SD1、n型之擴散層SD2、p型之擴散層SD3及p型之擴散層SD4。之後,藉由對半導體基板SB施行例如1050℃、0.1秒的抑制TED之退火,以進行上述之各雜質區域的活化。此抑制TED之退火的條件,幾乎對應於本實施形態所示之第2熱處理的條件。
再者,於比較探討例2,由於不是在SOI基板上,而是在半導體基板SB上形成低耐壓MISFET,因此使n型外延區EX1形成於淺層一事就很重要。換言之,需要使n型外延區EX1的端部位於閘極電極之正下方,同時要抑制n型外延區EX1在深度方向的擴散。從而,於比較探討例2,係採用斜向離子植入,而較為自由地設定n型外延區EX1的閘極長度方向之位置,並以短時間的熱處理來抑制深度方向的擴散。
因此,在比較探討例2的n型外延區EX1之形成上,係套用斜向離子植入及短時間之熱處理的組合。
相對於此,由於在本實施形態,係以垂直離子植入來進行n型外延區EX1的形成,因此若採用比較探討例2的熱處理方法,則n型外延區EX1的擴散長度就會不夠。因此,本實施形態之半導體裝置,不能直接採用比較探討例2的熱處理方法。
<關於比較探討例3> 於比較探討例3,係以在SOI基板上形成低耐壓MISFET、並在半導體基板SB上形成高耐壓MISFET的半導體裝置、且閘極長度為例如90nm~65nm之世代的半導體裝置為對象。
SOI基板係與本實施形態同樣地,具有半導體基板SB、形成在半導體基板SB上的絶緣層BX、以及形成在絶緣層BX上的半導體層SM。絶緣層BX的膜厚係10~20nm左右,半導體層SM的膜厚係10~20nm左右。再者,對於半導體層SM,並不進行以調整臨界值等等為目的之離子植入。從而,相較於比較探討例2,係較能抗短通道效應的結構,因此並未在半導體層SM形成環狀植入。從而,並不需要比較探討例2所進行之抑制環狀區域變動的熱處理步驟。
圖19簡潔地歸納了比較探討例3的半導體裝置之製造方法當中,與本實施形態之主要特徴相關的離子植入步驟及熱處理步驟。
如圖19所示,首先形成各閘極電極G1~G4。之後,藉由離子植入法,形成n型半導體區域LDD1。之後,藉由對半導體基板SB施行例如950℃、120秒的熱處理,以使n型半導體區域LDD1擴散及活化。此熱處理的條件,對應於本實施形態所示之第1熱處理的條件。
接著,藉由離子植入法,依序形成:p型半導體區域LDD2、n型外延區EX1、p型外延區EX2、n型之擴散層SD1、n型之擴散層SD2、p型之擴散層SD3及p型之擴散層SD4。之後,藉由對半導體基板SB施行例如1050℃、0.1秒的抑制TED之退火,以進行上述之各雜質區域的活化。此抑制TED之退火的條件,幾乎對應於本實施形態所示之第2熱處理的條件。藉由此抑制TED之退火,可以解決p型外延區EX2過度擴散的問題、以及堆積的問題。
再者,由於在使用SOI基板的情況下,半導體層SM的厚度較薄,因此n型外延區EX1之底面及n型之擴散層SD1之底面,會形成為與絶緣層BX相接。從而,不會發生如同比較探討例1及比較探討例2般,在半導體基板SB形成MISFET Q1之際會產生問題的:外延區EX1與半導體基板SB間的接合漏電。因此,主要會產生問題的,乃是GIDL所造成之洩漏電流。
又,由於比較探討例3的由來,乃承襲比較探討例2之技術背景而開發,因此n型外延區EX1的濃度設定得較高,熱處理則使用了短時間的抑制TED之退火。然而,我們發現光是承襲這些技術,並不足以因應GIDL。
<比較探討例3與本實施形態之詳細檢討> 圖20係本案發明人進行之實驗的結果,針對比較探討例3與本實施形態的各自之低耐壓的n型MISFET Q1,繪示出GIDL所造成之洩漏電流與導通電流間的比較。縱軸代表GIDL所造成之洩漏電流的大小,橫軸代表導通電流的大小。又,縱軸及橫軸的數値並非實測値,而是呈現比例。
圖中的A點~C點,係分別改變n型外延區EX1的離子植入條件及熱處理條件的結果。
A點係比較探討例3的條件,劑量為2×1016 /cm2 ,並以1050℃、0.1秒作為熱處理條件。在此,可看出GIDL所造成之洩漏電流的數値很高。此係如上所述,由於磊晶層EP之存在,而無法在外延區EX1之形成使用如比較探討例2那般的斜向離子植入,必須使用垂直離子植入所造成的。亦即,外延區EX1之形成,由於係以垂直離子植入與短時間之熱處理的組合來進行,因此外延區EX1的端部法充分擴散到閘極電極G1之正下方。
B點係比較探討例3的變更條件,劑量為2×1014 /cm2 ,並以1050℃、0.1秒作為熱處理條件。亦即,相較於A點,B點的條件係使劑量減少約一個位數左右。如此這般,若是降低外延區EX1的濃度,就會使得在外延區EX1之端部的濃度分佈趨於和緩,因此GIDL所造成之洩漏電流會降低;但由於導通電流也會降低,所以MISFET Q1的性能會下降。
C點係本實施形態的條件,劑量為2×1014 /cm2 ,並以950℃、120秒作為熱處理條件。亦即,相較於B點,C點大幅延長了熱處理時間,因而更進一步地降低了GIDL所造成之洩漏電流,同時導通電流也增加了。
其原因推斷係由於延長了熱處理時間,而得以加大外延區EX1的擴散長度,所以減少了MISFET Q1的有效通道長度,藉此增加了導通電流。再者,離子植入所造成的損傷,也由於長時間的熱處理而有所修復,推斷這也增加了導通電流。
然後,推斷由於外延區EX1的擴散長度加長了,同時在外延區EX1之端部的濃度分佈也變得比B點更為和緩,因此GIDL所造成之洩漏電流就降低了。
再者,由於本實施形態的半導體裝置,半導體層SM的厚度較薄,所以n型外延區EX1之底面係形成為與絶緣層BX相接。因此,即使對外延區EX1施行長時間的熱處理,也不需考慮如比較探討例1及比較探討例2般不使用SOI基板之半導體裝置會有的外延區EX1與半導體基板SB間的接合漏電的問題。
更進一步地,由於在本實施形態,可以讓外延區EX1的熱處理,與半導體區域LDD1的熱處理同時進行,所以相較於比較探討例3,並不需要進行製程之追加。
由上述可知,本實施形態的半導體裝置之製造方法,相較於比較探討例3,並不需要進行製程之追加,就能兼顧到半導體裝置之可靠性及性能。
然後,可知本實施形態的半導體裝置之製造方法,係與各比較探討例1~3之製造方法不同,就連其思想也不一樣。亦即,本實施形態的半導體裝置之製造方法,係針對在SOI基板上製造MISFET Q1等等的半導體元件的情況下、並且係在探討例如閘極長度為90nm以下之微細的半導體元件的情況下,才會發現之問題,而進行解決者。
以上針對本案發明人之發明,基於其實施形態,進行了具體的說明;但本發明並不限定於前述實施形態,只要在不脫離其要旨的範圍內,可以進行各種變更,而該等變更當然也包含在本發明之範圍內。
