下列詳細的描述配合附圖閱讀可使本揭露的各方面獲得最佳的理解。需注意的是,依據業界的一般實務,許多特徵並未按比例繪示。事實上,可任意增加或減少多種特徵之尺寸以使討論清楚。

以下揭露提供許多不同實施方式或例子,以實施所提供之標的之不同特徵。以下描述部件及排列的特定例子以簡化本揭露。這些當然僅為例子而非用以作為限制。舉例而言,在描述中,形成第一特徵於第二特徵之上的的製程可包含第一特徵與第二特徵以直接接觸形成的實施方式,亦可包含額外特徵形成於第一特徵與第二特徵之間,而使得第一特徵和第二特徵可非直接接觸。在本文中,第一特徵形成於第二特徵上表示第一特徵係形成以與第二特徵直接接觸。除此之外,本揭露可在多個例子中重複參考符號
及/或字母。此重複並非本質上規定在所討論之多個實施方式及/或配置之間的關係。
可在此使用空間關係的用語,例如「下方(beneath)」、「在…之下(below)」、「低於(lower)」、「在…之上(above)」、「高於(upper)」、以及相似用語,以簡明描述如圖式所繪示之一元件或特徵與另一(另一些)元件或特徵之關係的敘述。空間關係的用語,除了在圖中所描繪的方向外,意欲包含設備在使用上或操作時的不同方向。設備可以其他方式定向(旋轉90度或其他方向),而本文使用的空間關係描述詞也可依此解讀。
需注意的是,在說明書中作為參考的「一個實施方式」、「一實施方式」、「一例示實施方式」、「示範」等,表示所描述的實施方式可包含特定特徵、結構、或特性,但每個實施方式可能無需包含特定特徵、結構、或特性。除此之外,這樣的用語不必然指稱相同實施方式。再者,當關於一實施方式描述一特定特徵、結構、或特性時,無論是否明確地描述,關於其他實施方式實現這樣的特徵、結構、或特性時落在熟習此技藝者的知識範圍內。
需了解的是,在此的術語及用語是為了敘述,而非作為限制,因此本說明書之術語及用語由熟習相關技藝者按照在此的教示來詮釋。
在此所使用的用語「蝕刻選擇比」意指兩種不同材料在相同蝕刻條件下之蝕刻速率的比值。
在此所使用的用語「沉積選擇比」意指兩種不同材
料或表面在相同沉積條件下之沉積速率的比值。
在此所使用的用語「高k」意指高介電常數。在半導體裝置結構與製造製程的領域中,高k意指介電常數大於二氧化矽的介電常數(例如,大於3.9)。
在此所使用的用語「p型」定義為以p型摻質,例如硼,所摻雜之結構、層、及/或區域。
在此所使用的用語「n型」定義為以n型摻質,例如磷,所摻雜之結構、層、及/或區域。
在此所使用之用語「奈米結構」定義為結構、層、及/或區域具有小於100nm的水平尺寸(例如,沿著X軸及/或Y軸)及/或垂直尺寸(例如,沿著Z軸)。
在一些實施方式中,用語「約」和「實質」可表示一給定數量的數值在5%內變動(例如,此數值的±1%、±2%、±3%、±4%、±5%)。這些數值當然僅作為例子而非作為限制。需了解的是,用語「約」和「實質」可參考熟習相關技藝者按照在此的教示所詮釋之數值的百分比。
可利用任何適合方法來圖案化在此所揭露之鰭狀結構。舉例來說,可利用一道或多道微影製程圖案化鰭狀結構,微影製程包含雙重圖案化或多重圖案化製程。通常,雙重圖案化或多重圖案化製程結合了微影製程以及自我對準製程,可產生比其他利用單一直寫微影製程可得到之圖案例如更小間距的圖案。舉例而言,在一些實施方式中,形成犧牲層於基材之上,並利用微影製程予以圖案化。利用自我對準製程在圖案化之犧牲層旁形成間隙壁。接著,
移除犧牲層,然後可利用剩餘的間隙壁來圖案化鰭狀結構。
本揭露提供例示結構與方法,以提升場效電晶體元件(例如,鰭式場效電晶體、閘極全環繞場效電晶體等)中的電荷載子移動性(例如,電洞及/或電子移動性)。增加電荷載子移動性可增加場效電晶體元件之切換速度與驅動電流,達成更快且提升之場效電晶體元件效能。
例示結構與方法提供介於場效電晶體元件之源極/汲極(S/D)區之間具有核-殼奈米結構的通道區。在一些實施方式中,核-殼奈米結構可包含由磊晶成長之奈米結構殼體區環繞包圍之奈米結構核心區。核-殼奈米結構可配置以分別於n型或p型場效電晶體元件之通道區中誘發拉伸或壓縮應變。可於通道區中誘發拉伸或壓縮應變,例如藉由摻雜奈米結構核心或殼體區或使用晶格不匹配的半導體材料於奈米結構核心或殼體區。在通道區中的這種誘發應變可以提升通道區中的電荷載子之遷移率。核-殼奈米結構可更配置以基於場效電晶體元件之導電類型來調整通道區的能帶間隙及/或修改通道區的表面平面之晶體定向,以提升通道區中的電荷載子之遷移率。在此描述之具有核-殼奈米結構的通道區可將場效電晶體元件之切換速度與驅動電流,較不具有此種核-殼奈米結構的場效電晶體元件之切換速度與驅動電流增加約20%至約40%與約30%至約50%。
根據一些實施方式,參照圖1A至圖1D來描述具有場效電晶體102A與102B之半導體元件100。圖1A
係繪示依照一些實施方式之半導體元件100的等角視圖。圖1B至圖1D係分別繪示依據一些實施方式之沿著圖1A之半導體元件100之線B-B、C-C、以及D-D的剖面視圖。在一些實施方式中,場效電晶體102A與102B均可為p型場效電晶體或n型場效電晶體,或每個一種電性的場效電晶體。雖然參照圖1A至圖1D討論兩個場效電晶體,但半導體元件100可具有任意數量的場效電晶體。除非有另外提及,對於具有相同標號之場效電晶體102A與102B之構件的討論彼此互相適用。半導體元件100之等角視圖與剖面視圖係繪示為說明之目的,而可能並未按比例繪示。

在一些實施方式中,第一半導體層120與第二半導體層122可包含矽鍺,其中鍺含量從約25原子百分比至約50原子百分比,而其餘之原子百分比為矽,或第一半導體層120與第二半導體層122可包含不具有任何實質數量的鍺之矽(例如,不含鍺)。第一半導體層120及/或第二半導體層122之半導體材料可為未摻雜或可在其磊晶成長製程期間使用:(i)p型摻質,例如硼、銦、或鎵;及/或(ii)n型摻質,例如磷或砷,原位摻雜。在一些實施方式中,若半導體元件100為互補式金屬氧化物半導體(CMOS)元件,則第一半導體層120可分別包含形成n型場效電晶體102A之矽、砷化矽、磷化矽(SiP)、碳化矽、或碳磷化矽(SiCP),或形成p型場效電晶體102A之矽鍺、矽鍺硼(SiGeB)、鍺硼(GeB)、矽鍺錫硼(SiGeSnB)、或III-V族半導體化合物,而第二半導體層122可分別包含形成p型場效電晶體102A之矽鍺、矽鍺硼、鍺硼、矽鍺錫硼、或III-V族半導體化合物,與形成n型場效電晶體102B之矽、砷化矽、磷化矽、碳化矽、或碳磷化矽。在一些實施方式中,第一半導體層120與第二半導體層122均可包含形成n型場效電晶體102A與102B之矽、砷化矽、磷化矽、碳化矽、或碳磷化矽,或形成p型場效電晶體102A與102B之矽鍺、矽鍺硼、鍺硼、矽鍺錫硼、或III-V族半導體化合物。

繞包圍的奈米結構區120A(圖1A與圖1D),以及(ii)由奈米結構殼體區121B環繞包圍的奈米結構核心區121A(圖1B與圖1D)。奈米結構核心區121A與奈米結構殼體區121B可於場效電晶體102A之源極/汲極區126A之間形成核-殼奈米結構通道區121。閘極結構112A可環繞包圍每個核-殼奈米結構通道區121(圖1B與圖1D)。
類似地,每個第二半導體層122可具有(i)由磊晶鰭狀區110B及其下方之內間隙壁113B與外間隙壁114B環繞包圍的奈米結構區122A(圖1A與圖1C),以及(ii)由奈米結構殼體區123B環繞包圍的奈米結構核心區123A(圖1B與圖1C)。奈米結構核心區123A與奈米結構殼體區123B可於場效電晶體102A之源極/汲極區126B之間形成核-殼奈米結構通道區123。閘極結構112B可環繞包圍每個核-殼奈米結構通道區123(圖1B與圖1C)。
奈米結構核心區121A與123A可位於各別之閘極結構112A與112B之下方,且可藉由分別修改第一半導體層120與第二半導體層122之奈米結構區120B與122B(未繪示於圖1A至圖1D;繪示於圖18B與圖21B)來形成奈米結構核心區121A與123A。奈米結構核心區121A與123A之材料組成可分別類似第一半導體層120與第二半導體層122之材料組成。
奈米結構殼體區121B與123B可位於各別之閘
極結構112A與112B之下方,且可磊晶形成於各別之奈米結構核心區121A與123A上。在一些實施方式中,若半導體元件100為互補式金屬氧化物半導體(CMOS)元件,則奈米結構殼體區121B可分別包含形成n型場效電晶體102A之矽、砷化矽、磷化矽(SiP)、碳化矽、或碳磷化矽(SiCP),或形成p型場效電晶體102A之鍺、矽鍺、矽鍺硼(SiGeB)、鍺硼(GeB)、矽鍺錫硼(SiGeSnB)、或III-V族半導體化合物,而奈米結構殼體區123B可分別包含形成p型場效電晶體102B之鍺、矽鍺、矽鍺硼、鍺硼、矽鍺錫硼、或III-V族半導體化合物,以及形成n型場效電晶體102B之矽、砷化矽、磷化矽、碳化矽、或碳磷化矽。在一些實施方式中,奈米結構殼體區121B與123B均可包含形成n型場效電晶體102A與102B之矽、砷化矽、磷化矽、碳化矽、或碳磷化矽,或形成p型場效電晶體102A與102B之鍺、矽鍺、矽鍺硼、鍺硼、矽鍺錫硼、或III-V族半導體化合物。在一些實施方式中,奈米結構殼體區121B及/或奈米結構殼體區123B之半導體材料可為未摻雜或可在其磊晶成長製程期間使用:(i)p型摻質,例如硼、銦、或鎵;及/或(ii)n型摻質,例如磷或砷,原位摻雜。
奈米結構殼體區121B與123B之材料與結構組成可分別不同於奈米結構核心區121A與123A的材料組成。在一些實施方式中,奈米結構殼體區121B與123B可包含晶格常數分別不同於奈米結構核心區121A與
123A之半導體材料之晶格常數的半導體材料。可分別配置奈米結構核心區121A與123A之半導體材料與奈米結構殼體區121B與123B之半導體材料之間的晶格不匹配,以分別增加在核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123中之電荷載子遷移率。
在一些實施方式中,針對n型場效電晶體102A及/或102B,奈米結構殼體區121B與123B可包含晶格常數分別大於奈米結構核心區121A與123A之半導體材料之晶格常數的半導體材料,以分別在所得之核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123中誘發拉伸應變,拉伸應變可增加在核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123中之電子遷移率。在一些實施方式中,針對p型場效電晶體102A及/或102B,奈米結構殼體區121B與123B可包含晶格常數分別小於奈米結構核心區121A與123A之半導體材料之晶格常數的半導體材料,以分別在所得之核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123中誘發壓縮應變,壓縮應變可增加在核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123中之電洞遷移率。
奈米結構殼體區121B與123B可配置以調整他們的表面平面之晶體定向,藉以分別增加所得之核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123中的電荷載子之表面遷移率,因而提升場效電晶體元件效能。因此,相較於沒有形成奈米結構殼體區121B與123B之場效電晶體元件的通道區,具有奈米結構殼體區121B與123B之通道區可實現較高的電荷載子之表面遷移率。舉例而言,在一些實施方式中,
在具有(111)晶體定向之半導體材料的表面平面中可有較高電洞遷移率,並可磊晶成長奈米結構殼體區121B與123B成具有(111)晶體定向的表面平面,其可分別形成核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123之表面平面。
請參照圖1B,雖然奈米結構核心區121A與123A之長方形剖面顯示於圖1B中,奈米結構核心區121A與123A可具有其他幾何形狀(例如,圓形、橢圓形、或多邊形)的剖面。而且,雖然奈米結構殼體區121B與123B之菱形(亦稱為鑽石形狀)剖面顯示於圖1B中,奈米結構殼體區121B與123B可具有其他幾何形狀(例如,長方形、圓形、橢圓形、或多邊形)的剖面。在一些實施方式中,奈米結構核心區121A與123A可以具有分別類似或不同於奈米結構殼體區121B與123B之剖面的剖面。
請參照圖1B至圖1D,核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123可具有各別之沿著Z軸的垂直尺寸H1與H2(例如,厚度或直徑),其範圍從約5nm至約30nm;以及各別之沿著Y軸的水平尺寸W1與W2(例如,寬度或直徑),其範圍從約5nm至約50nm。H1/W1與H2/W2的每個比值可從約0.2至約5。在各別奈米結構核心區121A與123A周圍之奈米結構殼體區121B與123B的厚度可從約0.5nm至約5nm。在一些實施方式中,相鄰核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123之間的距離可分別取決於閘極介電層128A與128B的厚度,且可從約5nm至約20nm。另外,核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123可以具有各別之沿著X
軸的水平尺寸L1(圖1D)與L2(圖1C),其範圍從約10nm至約100nm。L1/H1與L2/H2的比值可從約2至約20。在一些實施方式中,尺寸H1與H2、W1與W2、以及L1與L2可以分別彼此相等或不同。在一些實施方式中,H1/W1與H2/W2以及L1/H1與L2/H2的比值可分別彼此相等或不同。在一些實施方式中,核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123的垂直尺寸H1與H2可以分別等於或大於奈米結構區120A與122A沿著Z軸的垂直尺寸H3及H4(例如,厚度或直徑)。在一些實施方式中,核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123的水平尺寸L1與L2可以分別等於或小於閘極結構112A與112B的閘極長度GL1與GL2。
請參照圖1A與圖1B,鈍化層109A與109B可分別設於奈米結構區120A與122A之側壁上與鰭狀基部119A與119B之側壁上。鈍化層109A可設於如圖1D所示之奈米結構區120A上。因為在如下描述之形成場效電晶體102B的期間,部分的鈍化層109B遭移除,所以鈍化層109B並未設於如圖1C所示之奈米結構區122A上。鈍化層109A與109B可提升鰭狀結構108A與108B之這些鈍化層覆蓋之表面的表面品質,透過減少或消除在這些表面上之懸浮鍵誘發的空缺。這些空缺可在場效電晶體102A與102B運作時捕捉電荷載子,而降低場效電晶體102A與102B的驅動電流。相較於不具有例如鈍化層109A與109B之場效電晶體,減少或消除這些空缺可增加場效電晶體102A與102B的驅動電流約20%至約
50%。
在一些實施方式中,鈍化層109A與109B可以為氮化物、氧化物、氟化物、氯化物、及/或硫化物薄膜。在一些實施方式中,鈍化層109A與109B可包含氟、氯、氮、氧、氫、氘、及/或硫原子,這些原子可與懸浮鍵鍵結而減少或消除鰭狀結構108A與108B之上述表面上的空缺。鈍化層109A與109B可以實質共形地沉積在鰭狀結構108A與108B的這些表面上,且可具有從約0.5nm至約5nm的厚度。
請參照圖1A及圖1C與圖1D,可成長磊晶鰭狀區110A,以環繞包圍不在內間隙壁113A或外間隙壁114A下方之奈米結構區120A。類似地,可成長磊晶鰭狀區110B,以環繞包圍不在內間隙壁113B或外間隙壁114B下方之奈米結構區122A。在一些實施方式中,如圖1E至圖1G所示,磊晶鰭狀區110B與110A可以分別成長於鰭狀基部119B與119A上,而非分別環繞包圍奈米結構區122A與120A。磊晶鰭狀區110A與110B可包含彼此類似或不同之磊晶成長的半導體材料。在一些實施方式中,磊晶成長之半導體材料可包含與基板106相同或不同的材料。每個磊晶鰭狀區110A與110B可具有沿著各別之奈米結構區120A與122A之側壁的厚度,此厚度可從約3nm至約6nm。雖然三角形剖面之磊晶鰭狀區110A與110B顯示於圖1C與圖1D中,但磊晶鰭狀區110A與110B亦可具有其他幾何形狀(例如,長方形、半
圓形、或多邊形)的剖面。

根據一些實施方式,p型之磊晶鰭狀區110A與110B的這些次區關於彼此可具有不同p型摻質濃度。舉例而言,第一次區可為未摻雜,或可具有低於第二次區的摻質濃度(例如,摻質濃度為約1 x 1020atoms/cm3至約3 x 1022atoms/cm3)的摻質濃度(例如,摻質濃度小於約8 x 1020atoms/cm3)。

形成內間隙壁113A的製程可更包含在外間隙壁114A的蝕刻後,從奈米結構區120A與122A之堆疊蝕刻奈米結構區122A。在一些實施方式中,奈米結構區120A與122A可包含分別不具任何實質量的鍺與矽鍺(例如,分別不具有鍺與矽鍺)之矽,且奈米結構區122A的蝕刻可包含使用對矽鍺比對矽具有較高蝕刻選擇比的乾式蝕刻製程。舉例而言,鹵基的化學物可展現出對鍺比對矽高的蝕刻選擇比。因此,鹵素氣體可以較快於蝕刻矽的速度蝕刻矽鍺。在一些實施方式中,鹵基的化學物可包含氟基及/或氯基氣體。替代地,奈米結構區122A的蝕刻可包含使用對矽鍺比對矽具有較高選擇比的濕式蝕刻製程。舉例而言,濕式蝕刻製程可包含使用硫酸(H2SO4)與過氧化氫(H2O2)的混合物(SPM)及/或氫氧化銨(NH4OH)和過氧化氫與去離子(DI)水的混合物(APM)。

在一些實施方式中,磊晶鰭狀區110A可成長於
鰭狀基部119A上,如圖1E與圖1G所示,而不是形成磊晶鰭狀區110A環繞懸置的奈米結構區120A,如圖12A與圖12D所示。移除懸置的奈米結構區120A,與接下來形成內間隙壁113A後,如圖1G所示之磊晶鰭狀區110A可成長於鰭狀基部119A上。蝕刻懸置的奈米結構區120A的製程可包含利用蝕刻劑氣體,例如甲烷、氧氣、以及氟基甲烷,的乾式蝕刻製程。甲烷:氧氣:氟基甲烷的流率比可從約1:1:1至約1:2:4。此蝕刻製程可在約300V至約450V的高偏壓下進行。此懸置之奈米結構區120A的蝕刻可包含利用對矽比對矽鍺具較高蝕刻選擇比的濕式蝕刻製程。舉例而言,此濕式蝕刻製程可包含使用混合物(氫氧化銨)與氫氯酸。
在形成場效電晶體102A之內間隙壁113A與磊晶鰭狀區110A後,可從場效電晶體102B移除光阻層946,且可在場效電晶體102A上圖案化另一光阻層1346(圖13B與圖13D所示),以在後續如參照圖13A至圖15D的敘述般形成場效電晶體102B之內間隙壁113B與磊晶鰭狀區110B的處理步驟期間,保護場效電晶體102A。為了清楚起見,光阻層1346並未繪示於圖13A至圖15A中。

多晶矽結構112B*下方,使得奈米結構區120B的側壁設於離交界面114Bs約1nm至約10nm。在外間隙壁114B或多晶矽結構112B*下方延伸開口1348可以防止部分的奈米結構區120B殘留於外間隙壁114B下方,或防止在後續處理中(例如,在操作340中)之以閘極結構112B置換奈米結構區120B與多晶矽結構112B*期間在外間隙壁114B下方形成閘極結構112B。
形成內間隙壁113B的製程可更包含毯覆式沉積低k介電材料層(未繪示)在圖13A的結構上,直到開口1348為低k介電材料層所填充或部分填充。此毯覆式沉積製程與用於形成內間隙壁113A而在開口1048中沉積低k介電材料層的製程類似。
形成內間隙壁113B的製程可更包含括蝕刻低k介電材料的毯覆式沉積層,以回蝕在開口1348中的低k介電材料層,藉以形成內間隙壁113B與從場效電晶體102B的表面移除其他部分的低k介電材料層,如圖14A與圖14C所示。此低k介電材料之毯覆式沉積層的蝕刻可包含使用氟化氫與三氟化氮之氣體混合物的乾式蝕刻製程。氟化氫對三氟化氮的氣體比值可從約1至約20。在一些實施方式中,此蝕刻可以兩道蝕刻步驟執行。在第一道蝕刻步驟中,氟化氫對三氟化氮的氣體比值可從約1至約10。第一道蝕刻步驟可從場效電晶體102B的表面移除部分之低k介電材料層,並且部分回蝕在開口1348中的低k介電材料層。在第二道蝕刻步驟中,氟化氫對三氟化氮的氣
體比值可高於第一道蝕刻步驟,且可從約5至約20。第二道蝕刻步驟可實現如圖14C所示之內間隙壁113B的結構。在一些實施方式中,內間隙壁113B與奈米結構區120B的交界面113Bs順著奈米結構區120B的側壁的蝕刻輪廓。舉例而言,當奈米結構區120B的側壁具有直線蝕刻輪廓120Bs1(圖13C)時,交界面113Bs可具有如圖14C所示之直線輪廓,或當奈米結構區120B的側壁具有三角形蝕刻輪廓120Bs2(圖13C與圖14C)時,交界面113Bs可具有三角形輪廓(未繪示)。
請參照圖15A至圖15D,在形成內間隙壁113B後,可成長磊晶鰭狀區110B圍繞懸置的奈米結構區122A。磊晶鰭狀區110B可以類似於如參照圖12A至圖12D中描述之磊晶鰭狀區110A之方式成長。在一些實施方式中,當奈米結構區122A包含矽鍺時,磊晶鰭狀區110B可為p型,或當奈米結構區122A包括不具有任何實質量之鍺(例如,不含鍺)的矽時,磊晶鰭狀區110B可為n型。在形成內間隙壁113B與磊晶鰭狀區110B後,可從場效電晶體102A移除光阻層1346,如圖15B與圖15D所示。
類似於磊晶鰭狀區110A,在一些實施方式中,磊晶鰭狀區110B可成長於鰭狀基部119B上,如圖1E與圖1F所示,而不是形成磊晶鰭狀區110B環繞懸置的奈米結構區122A,如圖15A與圖15D所示。移除懸置的奈米結構區122A,與接下來形成內間隙壁113B後,如圖1F所示之磊晶鰭狀區110B可成長於鰭狀基部119B
上。移除懸置的奈米結構區122A的製程可包含使用對矽鍺比對矽具有較高蝕刻選擇比的乾式蝕刻製程。舉例而言,鹵基化學物可展現對鍺比對矽高的蝕刻選擇比。因此,鹵素氣體可以較快於蝕刻矽的速度蝕刻矽鍺。在一些實施方式中,鹵基化學物可包含氟基及/或氯基氣體。替代地,奈米結構區122A的蝕刻可包含使用對矽鍺比對矽具有較高蝕刻選擇比的濕式蝕刻製程。舉例而言,濕式蝕刻製程可包含使用硫酸(H2SO4)與過氧化氫(H2O2)的混合物(SPM)及/或氫氧化銨(NH4OH)與過氧化氫以及去離子(DI)水的混合物(APM)。
在一些實施方式中,若場效電晶體102A與102B均為相同導電類型(例如,n型或p型),形成內間隙壁113A與113B的處理步驟可在不使用光阻層946與1346的狀況下同時進行。類似地,若場效電晶體102A與102B均為類似導電類型,形成磊晶鰭狀區110A與110B的處理步驟可於同時形成內間隙壁113A與113B後,在不使用光阻層946與1346的狀況下同時進行。
請參照圖3,在操作335中,形成核-殼奈米結構通道區於磊晶鰭狀區之間。舉例而言,可如參照圖16A至圖23D的描述般,依序形成核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123於多晶矽結構112A*與112B*下方之鰭狀結構108A*與108B*的區域中。在形成核-殼奈米結構通道區121與123之前,可沉積蝕刻終止層116於圖15A的結構上,且沉積層間介電層118於蝕刻終止層116上。
在一些實施方式中,蝕刻終止層116的材料可包含氮化矽、氧化矽、氮氧化矽、碳化矽、碳氮化矽、氮化硼、氮化矽硼、氮化矽碳硼、或其組合。形成蝕刻終止層116可包含使用電漿增強化學氣相沉積法、次大氣壓化學氣相沉積(SACVD)、低壓化學氣相沉積法、原子層沉積、高密度電漿(HDP)、電漿增強原子層沉積(PEALD)、分子層沉積(MLD)、電漿脈衝式化學氣相沉積(PICVD)、或其他適合沉積之方法,來毯覆式沉積蝕刻終止層116之材料層於圖15A的結構上。
在毯覆式沉積蝕刻終止層116之材料層後,可接著層間介電層118之介電材料層的毯覆式沉積。在一些實施方式中,介電材料可以為氧化矽。可使用適合可流動介電材料(例如,可流動氧化矽、可流動氮化矽、可流動氮氧化矽、可流動碳化矽、或可流動碳氧化矽)的沉積方法來沉積介電材料層。舉例而言,可使用可流動化學氣相沉積製程來沉積可流動氧化矽。在毯覆式沉積製程後,可接著在約200℃至約700℃的溫度之蒸氣中,對介電材料之沉積層進行時間約30分鐘至約120分鐘的熱退火處理。在熱退火處理後,可接著化學機械研磨製程,以使蝕刻終止層116、層間介電層118、外間隙壁114A與114B、以及多晶矽結構112A*與112B*之頂面彼此共平面化,如圖16A所示。在化學機械研磨製程期間,可移除硬罩幕層742A與742B。
在化學機械研磨製程後,可形成場效電晶體102A
之奈米結構核心區121A,如圖17B與圖18B以及圖17D與圖18D所示。形成奈米結構核心區121A的製程可包含依序之步驟(i)形成罩幕層1650(例如,光阻層或氮化層)於場效電晶體102B上,如圖16A至圖16C所示;(ii)從圖16A的結構蝕刻多晶矽結構112A*與保護氧化層740A;(iii)從圖16A的結構移除奈米結構區122B,以形成圖17A的結構;以及(iv)蝕刻圖17A的結構的奈米結構區120B,以形成如圖18B與圖18D所示的奈米結構核心區121A。在一些實施方式中,可使用在操作320中所描述的第一、第二、第三、及/或第四多晶矽蝕刻步驟來蝕刻多晶矽結構112A*與保護氧化層740A。在一些實施方式中,可以利用類似於參照圖10A至圖10D中所描述之蝕刻奈米結構區122A的濕式蝕刻製程或乾式蝕刻製程來移除奈米結構區122B。蝕刻奈米結構區122B的結果,形成開口1752圍繞奈米結構區120B,如圖17B與圖17D所示。可使用對矽比對矽鍺具有較高蝕刻選擇比的濕式蝕刻製程來選擇性蝕刻奈米結構區120B,以減小奈米結構區120B沿著Z軸及/或Y軸的尺寸。舉例而言,濕式蝕刻製程可包含使用混合物(氫氧化銨)與氫氯酸。此濕式蝕刻製程的結果,奈米結構核心區121A可形成具有長方形剖面,如圖18B所示。在一些實施方式中,透過對圖18A的結構進行熱退火製程,可修改奈米結構核心區121A的長方形剖面為圓形或橢圓形剖面。此熱退火製程可包含在約600℃至約700℃的溫度以及約10torr至約
30torr的壓力下之氣氫中,對奈米結構核心區121A進行時間約50秒至約90秒的退火。可控制形成奈米結構核心區121A的參數與蝕刻劑,使得位於磊晶鰭狀區110A下方之鰭狀區120A不被移除。
在形成具有長方形剖面的奈米結構核心區121A(圖18B)之濕式蝕刻製程、或形成具有圓形或橢圓形剖面(未繪示)的奈米結構核心區121A之熱退火製程後,可磊晶成長奈米結構殼體區121B於如圖18B與圖18D所示之具有長方形剖面的奈米結構核心區121A或具有圓形或橢圓形剖面(未繪示)之奈米結構核心區121A上,以形成核-殼奈米結構通道區121(圖19B與圖19D)。在一些實施方式中,可透過磊晶沉積/部分蝕刻製程,其至少重複一次磊晶沉積/部分蝕刻製程,來磊晶成長奈米結構殼體區121B。這種重複之沉積/部分蝕刻製程亦稱為「循環沉積蝕刻(CDE)製程」。在一些實施方式中,可透過選擇性磊晶成長(SEG)來磊晶成長奈米結構殼體區121B,可添加蝕刻氣體以促進半導體材料選擇性成長於奈米結構核心區121A上,而非於圖19A的結構之其他表面上。
在一些實施方式中,磊晶成長之結果可形成具有如圖19B所示的鑽石形形狀剖面與(111)晶體定向的表面平面之奈米結構殼體區121B。在一些實施方式中,透過對圖19A的結構進行熱退火製程,可修改奈米結構殼體區121B之鑽石形形狀剖面為圓形或橢圓形剖面。此熱退火製程可包含在約600℃至約700℃的溫度以及約10torr至
約30torr的壓力下之氫氣中,對奈米結構殼體區121B進行時間約50秒至約90秒的退火。

122B,以減小奈米結構區122B沿著Z軸及/或Y軸的尺寸。舉例而言,鹵基化學物可以展現對鍺比對矽較高的蝕刻選擇比。因此,鹵素氣體可以較快於蝕刻矽的蝕刻速度蝕刻矽鍺。在一些實施方式中,鹵基化學物可包含氟基及/或氯基氣體。替代地,奈米結構區122B之選擇性蝕刻可包含使用對矽鍺比對矽具有較高蝕刻選擇比的濕式蝕刻製程。舉例而言,此濕式蝕刻製程可包含使用硫酸(H2SO4)與過氧化氫(H2O2)的混合物(SPM)及/或氫氧化銨(NH4OH)與過氧化氫以及去離子(DI)水的混合物(APM)。可控制形成奈米結構核心區123A的參數及蝕刻劑,使得位於磊晶鰭狀區110B下方之鰭狀區122A不被移除。
蝕刻製程的結果,可將奈米結構核心區123A形成為具有如圖21B所示的長方形剖面。在一些實施方式中,透過對圖21A的結構進行熱退火製程,可修改奈米結構核心區123A之長方形剖面為圓形或橢圓形剖面。此熱退火製程可包含在約600℃至約700℃的溫度以及約10torr至約30torr的壓力下之氫氣中,對奈米結構殼體區123A進行時間約50秒至約90秒的退火。在形成具有長方形剖面的奈米結構核心區123A(圖18B)之蝕刻製程、或形成具有圓形或橢圓形剖面(未繪示)的奈米結構核心區123A之熱退火製程後,可磊晶成長奈米結構殼體區123B在如圖21B與圖21C所示之具有長方形剖面的奈米結構核心區123A或具有圓形或橢圓形剖面(未繪示)的奈米結構核
