Description
本發明實施例一般關於半導體的形成方法,更特別關於含有磊晶的的裝置與其形成方法。
採用鰭狀場效電晶體裝置取代平面電晶體為半導體產業最近的發展方向。在鰭狀場效電晶體中,電晶體通道形成於大高寬比的結構(通常稱作鰭狀物)中。閘極不只覆蓋鰭狀物的頂部,亦覆蓋鰭狀物的側部。此設置比平面晶體提供更多優點,比如通道反轉的控制更佳且相同效能的可信度更高。
由於鰭狀場效電晶體的三維特性,鰭狀場效電晶體所用的形成製程通常比平面電晶體所用的形成製程複雜。在一些例子中,磊晶成長(一般為選擇性磊晶成長)可用於形成多種結構於鰭狀場效電晶體結構中。此外,應力工程可用於進一步增進鰭狀場效電晶體的效能。在應力工程的應用中,磊晶方法成長的材料組成選擇,可施加所需種類與等級的應力至鰭狀場效電晶體的通道上。

下述內容提供的不同實施例或實例可實施本發明的不同結構。下述特定構件、與配置的實施例係用以簡化本發明內容而非侷限本發明。舉例來說,形成第一構件於第二構件上的敘述包含兩者直接接觸的實施例,或兩者之間隔有其他額外構件而非直接接觸的實施例。另一方面,本發明之多個實例可重複採用相同標號以求簡潔,但多種實施例及/或設置中具有相同標號的元件並不必然具有相同的對應關係。
此外,空間性的相對用語如「下方」、「其下」、「較下方」、「上方」、「較上方」、或類似用語可用於簡化說明某一元件與另一元件在圖示中的相對關係。空間性的相對用語可延伸至以其他方向使用之元件,而非侷限於圖示方向。元件亦可轉動90°或其他角度,因此方向性用語僅用以說明圖示中的方向。
此處所述的Si1-xGex中,若鍺含量x為0或0%,則Si1-xGex為矽。類似地,此處所述的Si1-xGex中,若鍺含量x為1或100%,則Si1-xGex為鍺。在這些表示方式中,x或類似變數指的是比例或當量%,比如0.2即20%。此外,用語「源極/汲極區」與「源極/汲極結構」可交換使用,除非另外明確說明或在內容中使用特定用語。
此處所述的一些實施例說明鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程中的階段。圖1係一例中,兩個鰭狀場效電晶體的選定元件在鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程的一階段之簡化透視圖。在圖1所示的鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程之階段,形成鰭狀物110於基板120上,並形成隔離區130使鰭狀物與其他鰭狀物(未圖示)彼此隔離,而閘極組件140a與140b沿著鰭狀物110的上表面與側壁。在操作完成的鰭狀場效電晶體結構時,電晶體通道形成於鰭狀物110的部份中,且閘極組件140a與140b覆蓋電晶體通道。
此處定義的剖面A-A垂直於基板120,且在形成製程的任何階段中。此剖面用於圖2A至2E。雖然此處的圖1主要定義剖面A-A,但亦提供鰭狀場效電晶體結構的相關元件之簡化說明所用的圖形基礎。基板120可為基體半導體基板、絕緣層上半導體基板、或類似物。此外,基板可包含一或多個半導體層沉積於下方的基體材料上,半導體層的組成可與下方的基體材料不同,且半導體層的沉積方法可為磊晶。此外,基板的半導體層可未摻雜或摻雜一或多種n型或p型摻質,其摻雜方法可為在基體結晶成長時導入、離子佈植、或擴散。一般而言,絕緣層上半導體基板包含半導體材料層形成於絕緣層上。舉例來說,絕緣層可為埋置氧化物層、氧化矽層、或類似物。可提供絕緣層於基板上,且基板通常為矽基板或玻璃基板。亦可採用其他基板如多層基板或組成漸變基板。在一些實施例中,半導體基板的半導體材料可包含半導體元素如矽、半導體化合物、半導體合金、或上述之組合。
可由任何合適方法圖案化鰭狀物。舉例來說,鰭狀物的圖案化方法可採用一或多道光微影製程,包含雙重圖案化或多重圖案化製程。一般而言,雙重圖案化或多重圖案化製程結合光微影與自對準製程,其產生的圖案間距小於採用單一的直接光微影製程所得的圖案間距。舉例來說,一實施例形成犧牲層於基板上,並採用光微影製程圖案化犧牲層。採用自對準製程,以沿著圖案化的犧牲層的側部形成間隔物。接著移除犧牲層,再採用保留的間隔物圖案化鰭狀物。
鰭狀物可由多種方法產生,包含蝕刻移除起始材料的區域,或沉積鰭狀物材料至窄溝槽中。在圖1中,鰭狀物110的形成方法為蝕刻移除基板120的區域。在此製程中,可沉積一或多個遮罩層於基板120上。這些遮罩層可包含或可為氮化矽、氮氧化矽、碳化矽、碳氮化矽、類似物、或上述之組合。接著將鰭狀物圖案轉移至遮罩層中,再採用非等向蝕刻以蝕刻移除鰭狀物區以外的基板材料。隔離區130可包含或可為絕緣材料,比如氧化矽、氮化矽、類似物、或上述之組合,且其形成方法可為合適的沉積製程。舉例來說,隔離區130可包含可流動的化學氣相沉積製程所形成的氧化矽。亦可採用任何可接受的製程所形成的其他絕緣材料。可採用平坦化製程如化學機械研磨以移除任何多餘材料,使絕緣材料與鰭狀物110的上表面共平面。接著可使絕緣材料凹陷以形成隔離區130,使鰭狀物110自隔離區130之間凸起。絕緣材料的凹陷方法可採用任何可接受的蝕刻製程,比如對絕緣材料具有選擇性的蝕刻製程。隔離區130的上表面可如圖示的平坦,亦可為凸面、凹面、或更複雜的形狀,端視製程細節而定。
在其他形成製程中,鰭狀物的形成方法為沉積鰭狀物材料於窄溝槽中,其比前述方法複雜,並與圖1未圖示的額外結構相關。在製程的一例中,可形成介電層於半導體基板120的上表面上,可蝕刻溝槽穿過介電層,可磊晶成長鰭狀物材料於溝槽中,且可使介電層凹陷以讓鰭狀物材料自介電層凸起並形
成鰭狀物。磊晶材料可與基板相同或不同,且在成長時或成長後可摻雜磊晶材料,亦可不摻雜磊晶材料。在這些製程中,成長不同材料以分別用於n型與p型的鰭狀場效電晶體,在最大化每一裝置型態的載子遷移率時特別有利。具體而言,p型鰭狀場效電晶體所用的鰭狀物材料可為矽或矽鍺。
閘極組件140a與140b可包含數個構件。圖2A係一例中,鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程在形成閘極組件之後,兩個鰭狀場效電晶體裝置的剖視圖。剖面沿著圖1中定義的剖面A-A。圖式中的閘極組件140a與140b位於鰭狀物110的上表面上。在此例中,每一閘極組件包括閘極210、氮化矽層220、氧化物的硬遮罩230、與側壁240及250。此外,薄閘極介電層(未圖示)位於鰭狀物110上,並位於閘極210及側壁240下。閘極介電層可包含或可為氧化矽、氮化矽、高介電常數的介電層、類似物、或上述之多層。高介電常數的介電層可包含鉿或類似金屬的氧化物或矽酸鹽。閘極介電層可熱成長及/或化學成長於鰭狀物110上,或以合適的沉積技術順應性地沉積於鰭狀物110上。在置換閘極製程中,可在形成製程的後段階段中移除閘極210並置換為最終閘極。在這些例子中,閘極210可為非晶矽或多晶矽,且可視作虛置閘極。在一些形成製程中,在形成閘極組件之後可形成輕摻雜汲極區(未圖示)於鰭狀物材料中,其形成方法可為摻質佈植。
圖2B係一例中,鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程蝕刻源極/汲極凹陷之後的兩個鰭狀場效電晶體裝置的剖視圖。蝕刻凹陷260於鰭狀物110中。蝕刻製程可為等向或非等向,且可對鰭狀物材料的一或多個結晶平面具有選擇性。如此一來,凹陷260可具有圖2B所示的圓形底部輪廓,且實質上可具有多種輪廓形狀,端視實施的蝕刻製程而定。蝕刻製程可為乾蝕刻如反應性離子蝕刻、中性束蝕刻、或類似蝕刻,或濕蝕刻如採用氫氧化四甲基銨、氫氧化銨、或其他蝕刻劑的濕蝕刻。
圖2C係一例中,鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程中的源極/汲極磊晶之後
的兩個鰭狀場效電晶體裝置的剖視圖。源極/汲極區270成長於圖2B的凹陷260中。源極/汲極區270物理接觸與電性接觸鰭狀物110,並可作為鰭狀場效電晶體裝置所用的源極或汲極。舉例來說,源極/汲極區270可作為含有閘極組件140a的電晶體所用的源極,與含有閘極組件140b的電晶體所用的汲極,或者可作為上述兩種電晶體的源極,或者可作為上述兩種電晶體的汲極,端視電路連接與施加的偏壓而定。
源極/汲極區270中的源極/汲極材料可包含或可為矽鍺、矽、或鍺(比如Si1-xGex,其中鍺含量x可介於0至100%之間)、碳化矽、磷化矽、半導體化合物、或類似物。源極/汲極材料沉積於源極/汲極區270中的方法可為磊晶成長或選擇性磊晶成長,其採用技術如氣相磊晶、有機金屬化學氣相沉積、分子束磊晶、類似方法、或上述之組合。此外,可摻雜源極/汲極材料,比如在磊晶成長時原位摻雜及/或在磊晶成長之後進行離子佈植。
為改善鰭狀場效電晶體裝置效能,可選擇源極/汲極材料以施加應力至閘極組件覆蓋的鰭狀物區域。以p型鰭狀場效電晶體為例,若鰭狀物材料為Si1-xGex,則源極/汲極材料可為或包含Si1-yGey的區域,其中用於源極/汲極區的鍺含量y大於鰭狀物區域中的鍺含量x。源極/汲極的鍺含量y與鰭狀物的鍺含量x之間的差異越大,則施加至鰭狀物區的應力越大,即改善電晶體效能的程度越大。此外,可採用選擇性磊晶成長以確保源極/汲極材料成長於圖2B的凹陷260中的下方半導體材料上,而不成長於其他表面(如氧化矽、氮化矽、或類似物)上。氯化氫可用於成長製程,並與含矽及/或者的氣體一起促進選擇性。
如下所述,此處所述的一些實施例在鰭狀場效電晶體裝置的源極/汲極區之磊晶成長時可提供優點。然而,為了說明此應用的內容,此處簡述鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程的兩個額外階段。圖2D係一例中,鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程形成矽化物之後的兩個鰭狀場效電晶體裝置的剖視圖。在此階段中,移除
圖2A的氮化矽層220與硬遮罩230,而置換閘極280的位置與鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程的早期階段中的閘極210(見圖2A)所占據的區域實質上相同。置換閘極280可為或包括含金屬的材料如鈷、釕、鋁、鎢、銅、上述之多層、或上述之組合。圖2A的閘極210下的閘極介電層亦可置換為一或多個介電層及/或功函數調整層(未圖示)。此外,使阻障層290與源極/汲極區270中的材料反應形成矽化物區295。舉例來說,可由化學機械研磨達到平坦化。圖2E係一例中,鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程中形成接點插塞之後的兩個鰭狀場效電晶體裝置的剖視圖。接點插塞298可經由矽化物區295電性連接至源極/汲極區270。
圖3係一例中,鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程的源極/汲極凹陷階段之後的兩個鰭狀場效電晶體結構的選定元件的透視圖,其顯示此處說明實施例所用的剖面方向。如圖3所示,在形成源極/汲極凹陷之後,鰭狀物110的部份保留於閘極組件140a與140b之下並靠近閘極組件140a與140b。電晶體通道實質上形成於這些部份中。此處的剖面B-B垂直於基板120,且在源極/汲極成長製程的任何階段之前或之中。類似地,剖面C-C垂直於基板120,並位於閘極組件140a與140b的中央,且在源極/汲極成長製程的任何階段之前或之中。值得注意的是,雖然圖3的透視圖中只有一個鰭狀物,但許多實施例考慮到兩個或更多相鄰的鰭狀物110,其實質上彼此平行,且個別的源極/汲極區可成長於鰭狀物凹陷上,如圖4至6所示。
在多種實施例中,低鍺含量的薄層位於源極/汲極區中,以改善源極/汲極結構的磊晶成長,而不明顯降低所述源極/汲極結構的整體鍺含量,因此可保持高應力於電晶體通道上。此薄層在此處可視作晶種層。
此處在沉積第一晶種層之前成長的任何層,可視作預晶種層。在多種實施例中,可省略預晶種層,或可採用一或多個預晶種層。此外,成長於晶種層上或與晶種層相鄰的任何層,可視作接種層。在接種層之後成長且在下
一個晶種層之前成長的任何層狀物,可視作中介層。最後,實施例可視情況包含一或多層於最後的接種層上。這些層狀物在此處可視作最終層。
在一實施例中,兩個晶種層可用於p型鰭狀場效電晶體的源極/汲極結構。圖4係一實施例中,p型鰭狀場效電晶體之含有兩個晶種層的源極/汲極結構之剖視圖。如剖面B-B所示,閘極210與側部區域403位於鰭狀物110上。在多種實施例中,鰭狀物110可為Si1-xGex,其鍺含量x介於0(如矽)至40%。側部區域403可為氮化矽,或包含一或多層的氮化矽、氧化矽、或類似物。閘極介電層未圖示。在源極/汲極凹陷步驟之後,鰭狀物110保留於閘極210與側部區域403之下,但被蝕刻至凹陷260於其間。鰭狀物材料保留於凹陷260下。
在剖面C-C中,虛線405指出兩個鰭狀物在源極/汲極凹陷步驟之前的剖面。對兩個鰭狀物而言,在凹陷步驟之後,蝕刻製程實質上移除鰭狀物成凹陷260。鰭狀物材料保留如低於凹陷260的梗。鰭狀物側壁409與407的組成可為氧化矽、氮化矽、或類似物,其在鰭狀場效電晶體形成製程的早期階段與鰭狀物相鄰,其可保留於鰭狀物凹陷步驟之後。
在一實施例中,預晶種層410成長於鰭狀物凹陷260中。如剖面B-B所示,預晶種層410成長於鰭狀物凹陷260的底部與側壁。如剖面C-C所示,預晶種層410成長於鰭狀物的梗上的鰭狀物凹陷260之底部。在多種實施例中,預晶種層410可為或包含矽、鍺、Si1-zGez(其鍺含量介於約0至約100%之間)、或其他材料。在一實施例中,預晶種層410與鰭狀物110可為相同材料與組成。在一些實施例中,鰭狀物110可為Si1-xGex,而預晶種層410可為Si1-yGey且鍺含量y實質上固定且大於或等於x,或者預晶種層410可為組成漸變且鍺含量一開始小於20%並隨著成長預晶種層而增加至大於x。舉例來說,鰭狀物110可為Si0.8Ge0.2,而預晶種層可為組成漸變層如Si1-yGey且y一開始等於0(即矽)並接著增加至50%。在另一例中,鰭狀物110可為Si0.8Ge0.2,而預晶種層可為Si0.4Ge0.6。在一些實施例中,
預晶種層的厚度(自凹陷260的底部量側並垂直於凹陷260的底部)可小於或等於約50nm。接著成長第一晶種層415於預晶種層410上。為了使圖4整體保持清楚,將不特別標示第一晶種層415的厚度與下述任何後續晶種層的厚度。靠近側部區域403的預晶種層410的形狀,為不同結晶表面上的成長速率不同所造成的結果。如上所述,其他實施例中可不成長預晶種層,且可成長第一晶種層415於鰭狀物凹陷260中的鰭狀物材料上。在成長第一晶種層415之後,成長第一接種層420於第一晶種層415上。如剖面C-C所示,在成長源極/汲極區的一些時刻中,成長於相鄰鰭狀物上的材料可能相連以形成連接的源極/汲極結構,並留下氣隙423。在形成氣隙423之後,大幅降低氣隙區中後續成長所用的前驅物輸送,使氣隙423中發生一點額外成長。在圖4中,在成長第一接種層420時形成氣隙423。在成長第一接種層420之後,成長第二晶種層425於第一接種層420上。接著成長第二接種層430於第二晶種層425上,以達外部輪廓443。接著沉積最終層450於第二接種層430上,以達最終外部輪廓453。在此實施例中,最終外部輪廓453為源極/汲極結構成長的最終外部輪廓。圖4所示的第二晶種層425的形狀、外部輪廓443、與最終外部輪廓453為實質上分段的線性。然而此處認知到多種實施例中,在成長製程的多種階段的源極/汲極結構的輪廓與多種層狀物的形狀,可為實質上分段的線性、弧形、波形、或其他形狀。
在多種實施例中,第一晶種層415與第二晶種層425可為矽或Si1-xGex(其鍺含量x介於約0至約20%之間),第一接種層420與第二接種層430可為Ge或Si1-yGey(其鍺含量y介於約10%至約100%之間),且任何接種層的鍺含量y比相鄰的下方晶種層的鍺含量x大至少0.07(7%)。此處以百分比表示時,鍺含量的w值和z值的差異旨在反映w值和z值的絕對差異,而非相對於w值或z值的相對差異。舉例來說,第一鍺值為7%且第二鍺值為10%時,前者比後者低3%而不是9.3%。在一實施例中,接種層的鍺含量可為10%,而位於接種層下並與接種層相
鄰的晶種層的鍺含量可為3%。在多種實施例中,中介層與最終層可為或可包含矽、鍺、Si1-zGez(具有任何鍺含量z,其介於約0至約100%之間)、或其他材料。
第一晶種層415與第二晶種層425的厚度可介於1單層至5奈米之間,且可相同或不同。預晶種層、接種層、與最終層的資訊將提供如下。晶種層的組成與厚度可相同或不同。類似地,接種層的組成與厚度可相同或不同。
圖4的實施例具有一些優點。採用晶種層可輔助成長接種層。因此可改善積體電路一般具有的許多鰭狀場效電晶體的源極/汲極區之一致性。這可增加高結晶品質的一致性,亦可改善源極/汲極結構的最終形狀的一致性如最終外部輪廓453。如此一來,電性參數如源極/汲極電阻與矽化物電阻可更一致。此外,施加至不同電晶體的鰭狀場效電晶體通道區之應力等級的一致性可提高,而不會明顯劣化應力的絕對值。這是因為與源極/汲極結構的總厚度相較,晶種層的厚度通常算薄。如此一來,輔助成長接種層的優點,將遠超過因結合晶種層所造成的源極/汲極區的平均鍺含量下降。實際上在這些實施例中,可選擇晶種層的厚度以確保符合接種層成長所需的最小值,其處於上述的範圍內。
在這些應用中,採用較多數目的晶種層較有利,因每一晶種層輔助成長後續的接種層。圖5係一實施例中,p型鰭狀場效電晶體的源極/汲極結構的剖視圖,其含有三個晶種層。在此實施例中,預晶種層510成長於鰭狀物凹陷260中。如剖面B-B所示,預晶種層510成長於鰭狀物凹陷260的底部與側壁上。如剖面C-C所示,預晶種層510成長於鰭狀物的保留梗上。接著成長第一晶種層515於預晶種層510上。為了使圖5維持清楚,不標示第一晶種層515的厚度與任何下述晶種層的厚度。在成長第一晶種層515之後,成長第一接種層520於第一晶種層515上。成長第二晶種層525於第一接種層520上。接著成長第二接種層530於第二晶種層525上,並成長第三晶種層535於第二接種層530上。接著成長第三接種層540於第三晶種層535上,以達外部輪廓543。接著沉積最終層550於第三
接種層540上,以達最終外部輪廓553。在此實施例中,最終外部輪廓553為源極/汲極結構成長的最終外部輪廓。圖5所示的第二晶種層525與第三晶種層535的形狀以及外部輪廓543與最終外部輪廓553為實質上分段的線性。然而此處認知到多種實施例中,在成長製程的多種階段的源極/汲極結構的輪廓與多種層狀物的形狀,可為實質上分段的線性、弧形、波形、或其他形狀。
圖5的預晶種層510、第一晶種層515、第一接種層520、第二晶種層525、第二接種層530、與最終層550的厚度與組成,可與圖4的預晶種層410、第一晶種層415、第一接種層420、第二晶種層425、第二接種層430、與最終層450的厚度與組成相同或不同。此外,外部輪廓543與最終外部輪廓可與外部輪廓443與最終外部輪廓的尺寸或形狀不同。
在多種實施例中,第一晶種層515、第二晶種層525、與第三晶種層535可為矽或Si1-xGex(其鍺含量x介於約0至約20%之間),且第一接種層520、第二接種層530、與第三接種層540可為鍺或Si1-yGey(其鍺含量y介於約10%至約100%之間),而接種層的鍺含量比相鄰且位於其下的晶種層的鍺含量大至少0.07(或7%)。在多種實施例中,第一晶種層515、第二晶種層525、與第三晶種層535的厚度可介於1單層至5奈米之間。此外,第一晶種層515、第二晶種層525、與第三晶種層535的厚度與鍺含量可為彼此相同或不同的任意組合。此外,圖5所示的實施例中的預晶種層510、第一晶種層515、第一接種層520、第二晶種層525、與第二接種層530、外部輪廓543與最終外部輪廓553、最終層550、與氣隙523的厚度、組成、或其他特性,可與圖4所示的實施例中的預晶種層410、第一晶種層415、第一接種層420、第二晶種層425、第二接種層430、外部輪廓443與最終外部輪廓453、最終層450、與氣隙423的厚度、組成、或其他特性不同。
圖6係一實施例中,p型鰭狀場效電晶體的源極/汲極結構的剖視圖,其標號對應圖7的表格。圖7係圖6中標示的結構所對應的尺寸範圍的表格。
在多種實施例中,可選擇接種層的厚度以達外側輪廓610延伸高於鰭狀物頂部的目標值,任何預晶種層的底部厚度O所用的給定值,任何最終層的厚度N、與晶種層厚度T及晶種層的數目。在圖6與7中超出鰭狀物的最終量M的目標值可為約-10nm至20nm,而負值指的是外側輪廓610低於鰭狀物頂部。類似地,鰭狀物頂部位置上的第一接種層的位置Q為時負值,指的是第一接種層的最高點比鰭狀物頂部低。在一些實施例中,預晶種的底部厚度O、預晶種層的側壁厚度P、及最終層的厚度N為0,指的是這些層狀物可能不存在。
在其他實施例中,可採用四個或更多個晶種層。在磊晶結構的所需總厚度相對較大的應用中,晶種層的數目可相對較多。此外,較薄的晶種層有利於較多數目的晶種層。
在又一實施例中,一或多個預晶種層、晶種層、接種層、中介層、與最終層可包含錫。舉例來說,一或多個晶種層可為矽或Si1-xGex,而一或多個接種層可為Si1-zSnz或Ge1-wSnw。在另一例中,一或多個晶種層可為Si1-ySny,而一或多個晶種層可為Ge1-wSnw或Si1-zSnz,且z比y大至少0.07(7%)。
此處認知到層狀物的組成可由劇烈或不劇烈變化開始或結束,且可或可不具有一致的組成或一致的厚度。一般而言,在成長整個源極/汲極結構的第一時刻與第二時刻之間所成長的任何材料,在此處可視作層狀物。此外,任何層狀物可視作含有子層,其成長於第一時刻與第二時刻之間的時刻。
在成長前端平坦處,層狀物可能因參數變異(如基板局部溫度)而具有不一致的厚度。在成長前端不平坦處,比如在鰭狀場效電晶體的源極/汲極區,層狀物可能因不同結晶取向的成長速率不同而具有一致的厚度。此外,層狀物可在具有粗糙度的不平滑表面上開始或結束。舉例來說,當只夠幾個單層或小於一單層的材料沉積於高晶格不匹配的下方層上時,所形成的層狀物不會覆蓋整個下方表面,而是形成塊狀或形成小丘。
層狀物的組成可由劇烈或不劇烈變化開始,在層狀物中包含漸變或劇烈變化的組成,且在劇烈或不劇烈變化的情況下結束。此處亦認知在成長初期包括不同晶體取向的情況下,所述取向之間可能存在化學計量的變異。
在多種實施例中,一或多個晶種層或接種層可具有逐漸變化的組成、階狀變化的組成、或上述之組合。在一實施例中,第一晶種層415與第二晶種層425的一或兩者可具有兩個子層,其鍺含量為0(如矽)與約21%(如Si0.79Ge0.21),其其近似平均鍺含量小於20%。在另一實施例中,第一接種層420與第二接種層430的一或兩者的組成為鍺含量為8%、12%、與15%的三個子層,其近似平均鍺含量大於10%。
在另一實施例中,在形成預晶種層之後,成長一開始的鍺含量為0(矽),且逐漸並單調地增加至50%。在此實施例中,層狀物一開始的鍺含量為0(矽),而結束的鍺含量為x,其中近似平均的鍺含量小於20%,則此層狀物為晶種層。類似地,層狀物一開始的鍺含量為x,而結束的鍺含量為20%,其中近似平均的鍺含量大於10%,則此層狀物為接種層。
在另一實施例中,成長源極/汲極區的步驟包括一系列逐漸增加與減少組成的步驟,其中近似平均組成大於25%的層位於近似平均組成小於20%的層上並與其相鄰。這些層狀物在此處分別作為接種層與晶種層。
在其他實施例中,一或多個晶種層可為Si1-x-yCxGey,其中鍺含量y介於0至約20%之間。類似地,一些實施例的一或多個接種層可為Si1-w-zCwGez,其中鍺含量z介於約10%至100%之間。
圖8係一實施例中,成長p型鰭狀場效電晶體的源極/汲極區的方法800。成長製程可為選擇性的磊晶成長,且氯化氫可用於成長製程。在視情況進行的步驟810中,成長一或多個預晶種層。接著進行步驟820以成長晶種層。接著進行方法的步驟825以成長接種層。接著分別在步驟830與835中成長另一晶種
層與另一接種層。步驟820與830中成長的晶種層可具有相同或不同的厚度或組成。類似地,步驟825與835中成長的接種層可具有相同或不同的厚度或組成。可視情況成長額外晶種層與接種層的配對。這些額外晶種層與接種層的配對與之前步驟中的晶種層與接種層的配對,可具有相同或不同的厚度或組成。在成長最後的接種層之後,視情況進行的步驟890可成長一或多個最終層。任何最終層與晶種層的厚度及/或組成可相同或不同。
在又一實施例中,在形成接種層之後與形成後續的晶種層之前,可成長一或多個中介層。圖9係一實施例中,成長p型鰭狀場效電晶體之含有中介層的源極/汲極區的方法900。成長製程可為選擇性磊晶成長,且氯化氫可用於成長製程中。在步驟920成長第一晶種層且在步驟925成長第一接種層之後,且在步驟930成長後續的晶種層之前,可在步驟928成長一或多個中介層。舉例來說,Si0.9Ge0.1的第一晶種層上可為Si0.5Ge0.5的接種層,且在成長Si0.9Ge0.1的第二晶種層之前可成長Si0.6Ge0.4的中介層於接種層上。
