In this embodiment, the trench transistor is a shielded gate trench metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor, which has a gate disposed in the trench and a shielding electrode (also referred to as a source electrode).

首先,參照圖1A,提供基底100。在本實施例中,基底100包括基層100a以及形成於基層100a上的磊晶層100b。基層100a例如是具有第一導電型重摻雜的矽基層。磊晶層100b例如是具有第一導電型輕摻雜的磊晶層。磊晶層100b的形成方法例如是進行選擇性磊晶生長(selective epitaxy growth,SEG)製程。接著,於磊晶層100b中形成溝槽102。在本實施例中,溝槽102的深度小於磊晶層100b的厚度,亦即溝槽102的底部位於磊晶層100b中,使得溝槽102並未暴露出基層100a。此外,在本實施例中,溝槽102具有實質上垂直的側壁。First, referring to FIG. 1A, a
接著,參照圖1B,於溝槽102的側壁與底面上形成第一絕緣層104。在本實施例中,第一絕緣層104為氧化矽層。第一絕緣層104的形成方法例如是進行熱氧化製程,以於基底100上共形地形成絕緣材料層。在本實施例中,第一絕緣層104具有實質上均勻的厚度,亦即第一絕緣層104的位於溝槽102的底面上的部分的厚度實質上等於第一絕緣層104的位於溝槽102的側壁上的部分的厚度。然後,於溝槽102中的第一絕緣層104上形成第一導電層106。在本實施例中,第一導電層106為多晶矽層。第一導電層106的形成方法例如是進行化學氣相沉積(chemical vapor deposition,CVD)製程,以將導電材料層填入溝槽102中。由於溝槽102通常具有較高的深寬比,因此在將導電材料層填入溝槽102中之後,所形成的第一導電層106中難以避免地會形成有孔洞或孔隙106a。一般來說,孔洞或孔隙106a大多會形成在第一導電層106的上部中。在圖1B中,為使附圖清楚以及便於說明,僅繪示一個孔洞或孔隙106a,但本發明不限於此。Next, referring to FIG. 1B , a first insulating
然後,參照圖1C,移除部分第一導電層106,保留位於溝槽102的下部處的第一導電層106。在本實施例中,進行回蝕刻(etching-back)製程,以移除位於溝槽102之外的第一導電層106以及位於溝槽102中的部分第一導電層106。如此一來,可去除第一導電層106中的孔洞或孔隙106a。之後,於溝槽102中的第一導電層106上形成保護層108。在本實施例中,保護層108的形成方法例如是先於基底100上共形地形成層覆蓋第一導電層106的頂面與第一絕緣層104的保護材料層,然後進行蝕刻製程來移除溝槽102外的第一絕緣層104的頂面上的保護材料層。在本實施例中,保護材料層為氮化矽層,但本發明不限於此。在其他實施例中,只要在後續的蝕刻製程中,保護材料層相較於第一絕緣層104具有較低的蝕刻速率即可。此外,在本實施例中,保護材料層共形地形成基底100上,亦即保護材料層未填滿溝槽102,但本發明不限於此。在其他實施例中,保護材料層可填滿溝槽102。Then, referring to FIG. 1C , a portion of the first
接著,參照圖1D,移除保護層108與溝槽102的側壁之間的部分第一絕緣層104。在本實施例中,移除部分第一絕緣層104的方法例如是進行回蝕刻製程。由於保護層108相較於第一絕緣層104具有較低的蝕刻速率,因此在移除部分第一絕緣層104之後,保護層108仍可保留於第一導電層106上。此外,在本實施例中,在移除部分第一絕緣層104之後,剩餘的第一絕緣層104的頂面高於第一導電層106的頂面,但本發明不限於此。在其他實施例中,剩餘的第一絕緣層104的頂面可與第一導電層106的頂面共平面。之後,於溝槽102的暴露出的側壁上以及磊晶層100b的頂面上形成第二絕緣層110。在本實施例中,第二絕緣層110為氧化矽層。第二絕緣層110的形成方法例如是進行熱氧化製程。由於保護層108保留於第一導電層106上,因此第二絕緣層110不會形成於第一導電層106上。Next, referring to FIG. 1D , a portion of the first insulating
然後,參照圖1E,移除保護層108。接著,於第一導電層106上形成第二導電層112。在本實施例中,第二導電層112為多晶矽層。第二導電層112的形成方法例如是進行化學氣相沉積製程來將導電材料層填入溝槽102中,然後進行回蝕刻製程來移除位於溝槽102之外的導電材料層以及位於溝槽102中的部分導電材料層,使得剩餘的導電材料層的頂面高於第一絕緣層104的頂面。如此一來,第一導電層106與第二導電層112可構成本實施例的溝槽式電晶體的第一電極114。第一電極114可作為遮蔽電極(亦可稱為源電極)。詳細地說,在本實施例中,第一電極114設置於溝槽102的下部,且第一電極114包括第一部分114a與位於第一部分114a上的第二部分114b。第二部分114b的寬度大於第一部分114a的寬度,亦即第一電極114的剖面呈現「T」型。Then, referring to FIG. 1E, the
接著,參照圖1F,移除第二導電層112上方的第二絕緣層110,以暴露出溝槽102的部分側壁。在本實施例中,可進行回蝕刻製程,移除第二導電層112上方的第二絕緣層110,直到剩餘的第二絕緣層110的頂面與第二導電層112的頂面共平面。然後,於第二導電層112上以及溝槽102的暴露出的側壁上形成第三絕緣層116。在本實施例中,第三絕緣層116為氧化矽層。第三絕緣層116的形成方法例如是進行熱氧化製程。接著,於第三絕緣層116上形成第三導電層118。在本實施例中,第三導電層118為多晶矽層。第三導電層118的形成方法例如是進行化學氣相沉積製程來將導電材料層填入溝槽102中,然後進行回蝕刻製程來移除位於溝槽102之外的導電材料層。Next, referring to FIG. 1F , the second insulating
在本實施例中,第三導電層118可作為本實施例的溝槽式電晶體的第二電極120(閘極)。位於第一電極114與第二電極120之間的第三絕緣層116可作為閘間介電層,而位於第二電極120與基底100(磊晶層100b)之間的第三絕緣層116可作為閘介電層。In this embodiment, the third
接著,於第三導電層118周圍的基底100(磊晶層100b)中形成第一摻雜區122。第一摻雜區122例如是具有第二導電型重摻雜的摻雜區。第一摻雜區122的形成方法例如是進行離子植入製程。第一摻雜區122的底面不高於第三導電層118的底面。在本實施例中,第一摻雜區122的底面與第三導電層118的底面共平面。第一摻雜區122可作為本實施例的溝槽式電晶體的主體區。Next, a first
之後,參照圖1G,可對圖1F中的結構繼續進行後續所需的製程,以形成本實施例的溝槽式電晶體10。舉例來說,在形成第一摻雜區122之後,於第一摻雜區122中形成第二摻雜區124。第二摻雜區124例如是具有第一導電型重摻雜的摻雜區。第二摻雜區124的形成方法例如是進行離子植入製程。第二摻雜區124的深度小於第一摻雜區122的深度。第二摻雜區124可作為本實施例的溝槽式電晶體的源極區。也就是說,在溝槽式電晶體10中,第二電極120作為閘極,第一電極114作為遮蔽電極或源電極,第二摻雜區124作為源極,而基底100則作為汲極。Afterwards, referring to FIG. 1G , the structure in FIG. 1F may be subjected to subsequent required processes to form the
接著,可於所述基底100上形成第四絕緣層126。在本實施例中,第四絕緣層126為氧化矽層。第四絕緣層126的形成方法例如是進行化學氣相沉積製程。第四絕緣層126覆蓋第三絕緣層116與第二電極120,以作為層間介電層。然後,可於第四絕緣層126中形成與第二摻雜區124電性連接的接觸窗128。在本實施例中,接觸窗128的底面位於第二摻雜區124中,但本發明不限於此。此外,為了降低電阻,可在形成接觸窗128之前,於接觸窗128下方形成與接觸窗128電性連接的摻雜區130。摻雜區130例如是具有第二導電型重摻雜的摻雜區。此外,可於第四絕緣層126上形成與接觸窗128電性連接的導電層132。導電層132例如為金屬層。導電層132可作為源極線。接觸窗128、摻雜區130以及導電層132的形成方法為本領域技術人員所熟知,於此不再贅述。Next, a fourth insulating
在本實施例中,作為遮蔽電極或源電極的第一電極114的剖面呈現「T」型,但本發明不限於此。圖2為依據本發明另一實施例所繪示的溝槽式電晶體的剖面示意圖。在進行圖1E所述的步驟時,以回蝕刻製程來移除位於溝槽102中的導電材料層,直到剩餘的導電材料層的頂面不高於第一絕緣層104的頂面。如此一來,如圖2所示,在溝槽式電晶體20中,所形成的第二導電層200的頂面可與第一絕緣層104的頂面共平面。在其他實施例中,所形成的第二導電層200的頂面可低於第一絕緣層104的頂面。第一導電層106與第二導電層200構成本實施例的溝槽式電晶體的第一電極202,使得作為遮蔽電極或源電極的第一電極202的剖面呈現「l」型,亦即上部的寬度實質上等於下部的寬度。此外,由於整個第一電極202與基底100之間具有第一絕緣層104,因此圖1D中形成第二絕緣層110的步驟亦可省略。In this embodiment, the cross section of the
在上述實施例中,在圖1B所述的步驟中,所形成的第一絕緣層104具有實質上均勻的厚度,但本發明不限於此。在其他實施例中,所形成的第一絕緣層104可不具有實質上均勻的厚度。In the above-mentioned embodiment, in the steps described in FIG. 1B , the formed first insulating
圖3A至圖3C為依據本發明另一實施例所繪示的溝槽式電晶體的製造流程剖面示意圖。在本實施例中,與圖1A至圖1G相同的構件將以相同的元件符號表示,且不再對其進行說明。3A to 3C are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating a manufacturing process of a trench transistor according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the same components as those in FIGS. 1A to 1G will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and will not be described again.
首先,參照圖3A,在如圖1A所述的形成溝槽102之後,於溝槽102的底部形成第一絕緣層104a。在本實施例中,第一絕緣層104a為氧化矽層。此外,第一絕緣層104a的位於溝槽102的底面上的部分的厚度大於第一絕緣層104a的位於溝槽102的側壁上的部分的厚度。也就是說,在本實施例中,第一絕緣層104a不具有實質上均勻的厚度,其可藉由調整製程參數的方式來形成,且此方式為本領域技術人員所熟知,於此不再贅述。First, referring to FIG. 3A , after the
接著,參照圖3B,進行圖1B與圖1C所述的步驟,於溝槽102中的第一絕緣層104上形成第一導電層106。此時,第一導電層106的下方存在厚度相對大的第一絕緣層104。由於第一絕緣層104a在溝槽102的底部處具有相對大的厚度,因此降低了溝槽102的深寬比,進而可改善在形成第一導電層106時孔洞或孔隙106a(如圖1B所示)的形成。Next, referring to FIG. 3B , the steps described in FIGS. 1B and 1C are performed to form a first
之後,參照圖3C,進行圖1C至圖1G所述的步驟,以形成本實施例的溝槽式電晶體30。在溝槽式電晶體30中,由於第一電極114下方存在厚度相對較大的第一絕緣層104,因此可進一步避免溝槽式電晶體30在操作的過程中自底部產生漏電流的問題。After that, referring to FIG. 3C , the steps described in FIGS. 1C to 1G are performed to form the
此外,在其他實施例中,也可如同圖2而形成「l」型的作為蔽電極或源電極的第一電極。In addition, in other embodiments, the “1” type first electrode serving as the shield electrode or the source electrode can also be formed as shown in FIG. 2 .
綜上所述,在本發明的溝槽式電晶體中,使用保護層以及採用多階段的方式來形成作為遮蔽電極或源電極的導電層,因此可有效地避免導電層中存在孔洞或孔隙。如此一來,本發明的溝槽式電晶體不會受到孔洞或孔性的影響而能夠具有穩定的電性表現。To sum up, in the trench transistor of the present invention, the protective layer is used and the conductive layer as the shielding electrode or the source electrode is formed in a multi-stage manner, thus effectively avoiding holes or pores in the conductive layer. In this way, the trench transistor of the present invention can have stable electrical performance without being affected by holes or porosity.
