Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and fabrication method, and more specifically, to a semiconductor device and fabrication method by which adjacent elements are insulated from one another by a buried insulating layer.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- With advancements in large-scale integration of semiconductor devices, the distance between adjacent elements has become shorter. However, reducing the distance between adjacent elements can result in unwanted electrical junctions between the elements. For example, a latch-up may result from the formation of a parasitic bipolar junction transistor between NMOS and PMOS elements in a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) device.
- To overcome this problem, semiconductor devices have been designed with a SOI (Silicon On Insulator) structure. In a SOI structure, an insulating layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a thin single crystal silicon layer is formed on the insulating layer. The thin single crystal silicon layer is used as a depletion region.
- A semiconductor device having an SOI structure can be made by using an SIMOX (Separation by Implanted Oxygen) or BESOI (Bonded and Etchback SOI) substrate. To form the SIMOX substrate, impurities such as oxygen (O2) or nitrogen (N2) are ion-implemented into a semiconductor substrate to form a buried insulating layer. The BESOI substrate is produced by melting two semiconductor substrates having an insulating layer consisting of Si3O2, Si3N4 or the like, and etching the combined substrate to a desired thickness.
- As described above, the semiconductor device having an SOI structure can avoid unwanted electrical junctions between elements, such as the formation of a parasitic bipolar transistor, by isolating the semiconductor substrate from the single crystal silicon layer with an insulating layer to obtain pn-junction protection.
- FIG. 1 is a cross section of a semiconductor device in accordance with the prior art.
- Referring to FIG. 1, a buried
insulating layer 13 is formed on asemiconductor substrate 11, and depletion regions 15 (300 to 1500 Å thick) doped with p-type impurities are formed on the buriedinsulating layer 13. The buriedinsulating layer 13 and thedepletion regions 15 form an SOI structure.Layer 13 andregion 15 are prepared by either an SIMOX (Silicon On Insulator) or a BE (Bonded and Etchback) method. If they are made by the SIMOX method, thesemiconductor substrate 11 is p-type which is the same conductivity type as thedepletion regions 15. When produced using a BE method, thesemiconductor substrate 11 may be p-type or n-type, irrespective of the conductivity type ofdepletion regions 15. - A
field oxide layer 17 defines the active region of elements and is formed in thedepletion regions 15.Field oxide layer 17 contacts the buriedinsulating layer 13, renderingfield oxide layer 17 electrically isolated from active regions adjacent to the active region of the element comprising thedepletion regions 15. Agate oxide layer 19 is formed on thedepletion regions 15.Gate 21 is formed on thegate oxide layer 19. Both sides of thegate 21, which is formed in thedepletion regions 15, are heavily doped with n-type impurities, such as arsenic (As), antimony (Sb) or phosphorus (P), to form animpurity region 23 that will function as source and drain regions. Thedepletion regions 15 between theimpurity regions 23 will become a channel. - Because the above-described semiconductor device has
depletion regions 15 on the buriedinsulating layer 13 that are between 300 to 1500 Å thick, applying OV to thegate 21 will determine the threshold voltage by depicting the channel comprising thedepletion regions 15 under thegate 21. - FIGS.2A-2C are flow diagrams illustrating a process for fabricating semiconductor devices according to prior art.
- Referring to FIG. 2A, p-
type depletion regions 15 are formed on the buriedinsulating layer 13 of asemiconductor substrate 11 having thickness of between 300 and 1500 Å. Afield oxide layer 17, defining the active regions of elements, is formed in predetermined portions on thedepletion regions 15 by LOCOS (Local Oxidation of Silicon). Thefield oxide layer 17 is in contact with the buried insulatinglayer 13. The buriedinsulating layer 13 and thedepletion regions 15 are formed on thesemiconductor substrate 11 using either SIMOX or BE methods. When the buriedinsulating layer 13 and thedepletion regions 15 are made using the SIMOX method, thesemiconductor substrate 11 is p-type, which is the same conductivity type asdepletion regions 15. If made using the BE method, thesemiconductor substrate 11 can be either p-type or n-type, irrespective of thedepletion regions 15. - Referring to FIG. 2B, a
gate oxide layer 19 is formed on the surface of thedepletion regions 15 by heat oxidation. In addition, doped amorphous silicon or polysilicon is deposited on thefield oxide layer 17 and thegate oxide layer 19 by chemical vapor deposition (hereinafter, referred to as “CVD”). Following the CVD, the amorphous silicon or polysilicon layer is patterned using a photolithographic process to leave only a predetermined portion on thedepletion regions 15, thereby producinggate 21. - Referring to FIG. 2C, the
depletion regions 15 are heavily doped with n-type impurities, such as arsenic (As), phosphorus (P) or the like. During their formation,gate 21 is used as a mask to create animpurity region 23 that will function as source and drain regions. Thedepletion regions 15 between theimpurity regions 23 will become a channel. - In a conventional semiconductor device as described above, the buried insulating layer and the depletion regions are formed on the semiconductor substrate using the BE method. Thus, the depletion regions may not be uniform in thickness after an etchback process. Variations in the thickness of the depletion regions cause the capacitance of the depletion regions to be varied. Consequently, the threshold voltage of the channel is not constant. As the depletion regions become thinner, variations in the thickness of the depletion regions increase the variations in the threshold voltage of the channel to a greater degree.
- An object of the present invention is to solve the problem described above and to create a semiconductor device and its fabrication method. This object is accomplished by making the threshold voltage of the channel constant, irrespective of the thickness of the depletion regions, thereby preventing the deterioration of element characteristics.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device having a constant channel threshold voltage, and its fabrication method.
- To achieve these and other objects and advantages, and in accordance with the present invention, a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a depletion region positioned above the semiconductor substrate, a buried insulating layer positioned between the semiconductor substrate and the depletion region, a field oxide layer positioned above the buried insulating layer and adjacent to the depletion region, a gate positioned above the first depletion region, a gate oxide layer positioned between the depletion region and the gate, impurity regions positioned on both sides of the gate, and a counter doping layer positioned under the channel of the depletion region.
- In addition, the present invention includes a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, including the steps of forming a buried insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate, forming a depletion region above the semiconductor substrate and above the buried insulating layer, forming a field oxide layer in a predetermined portion of the depletion region, forming a gate oxide layer on a surface of the depletion region, forming a gate on the field oxide layer and above the depletion region, forming impurity regions in the depletion region, and forming a counter doping layer between at least a portion of the depletion region and the semiconductor substrate. In this method, impurities are implanted into the buried insulating layer based on a projected range of an implant profile positioned on the buried insulating layer.
- In either instance, the impurity regions define source and drain regions, and a portion of the depletion region positioned between the impurity regions defines a channel region. An upper edge of the counter doping layer and an upper edge of at least the portion of the depletion region defining the channel region are uniformly spaced. The counter doping layer is positioned a fixed distance below all or some of a surface of the first depletion region, overlapping at least a portion of the depletion region to achieve uniform thickness in the depletion region. The depletion region is doped with impurities of a first conductivity type, and the impurity regions are doped with impurities of a second conductivity type. The counter doping layer is formed by ion-implanting impurities ranging from 5×1011 to 5×1012/cm2 at an energy ranging from 20 to 80 KeV when formed before the gate, or ranging from between 1×1016 to 1×1017/cm3 at an energy ranging from 100 to 300 KeV when formed after the gate.
- Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, wile indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of example only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.

- FIG. 3 is a cross section of a semiconductor device in accordance with the present invention.
- Referring to FIG. 3, a buried insulating
layer 33 is formed on asemiconductor substrate 31.Depletion regions 35 are formed on the buried insulatinglayer 33 with a thickness of 300 to 1500 Å, and doped with p-type impurities. The buried insulatinglayer 33 and thedepletion regions 35 form a SOI structure. They are formed using either a SIMOX or BE method. When they are formed using a SIMOX method, thesemiconductor substrate 31 has p-type conductivity, which is the same conductivity type asdepletion regions 35. When formed using a BE method, thesemiconductor substrate 31 can be either p-type or n-type, irrespective of the conductivity type ofdepletion regions 35. Thedepletion regions 35 can be doped with p-type or n-type impurities. - A
field oxide layer 37 that defines the active region of the element is formed among thedepletion regions 35. Thefield oxide layer 37 contacts the buried insulatinglayer 33, electrically insulating active regions on either side of thatfield oxide layer 37.Gate oxide layer 41 is formed on thedepletion regions 35, and aGate 43 is formed ongate oxide layer 41. - The portions of
depletion regions 35 on either side ofgate 43 are heavily doped with n-type impurities such as arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), phosphorus (P) or the like. These regions formimpurity regions 45 that will function as source and drain regions. The portion of thedepletion regions 35 functions as a channel. - Under the channel of the
depletion region 35, acounter doping layer 39 is formed.Counter doping layer 39 is lightly doped with up to 1×1016˜1×1017/cm3, of n-type impurities such as phosphorous (P) or arsenic(As). Thecounter doping layer 39 contacts the buried insulatinglayer 33. In the above semiconductor device having the SOI structure, thedepletion region 35 may be formed having a non-uniform thickness, such that the amount of the impurities withindepletion region 35 becomes non-uniform. To ensure uniformity in the thickness ofdepletion region 35, counter dopinglayer 39 is positioned with a uniform depth from the surface ofdepletion region 35. Therefore, the thickness ofdepletion region 35 is limited by the top surface ofcounter doping layer 39. Thus, the entire depletion region has a uniform thickness, resulting in a uniform dispersion of impurities withindepletion region 35 and causing the capacitance and threshold voltage to be constant. - FIGS.4A-4D are diagrams of a process for fabricating the semiconductor device in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Referring to FIG. 4A, p-
type depletion regions 35 are formed on a buried insulatinglayer 33 of asemiconductor substrate 31 with a thickness of between 300 and 1500 Å. Afield oxide layer 37 defines the active regions of elements. It is formed on predetermined portions of thedepletion regions 35 by LOCOS (Local Oxidation of Silicon). Thefield oxide layer 37 contacts the buried insulatinglayer 33, electrically insulating active regions on either side of thatfield oxide layer 37. - The buried insulating
layer 33 and thedepletion regions 35 are formed using either SIMOX or BE method. When formed using a SIMOX method, thesemiconductor substrate 31 is p-type conductivity, the same as the conductivity type of thedepletion regions 35. When formed using a BE method, thesemiconductor substrate 31 can have either p-type or n-type conductivity, regardless of the conductivity type of thesemiconductor substrate 31. - Referring to FIG. 4B, a
counter doping layer 39 is formed under thedepletion regions 35. To produce thecounter doping layer 39, n-type impurities are ion-implanted based on the projected range Rp of an implant profile positioned in the buried insulatinglayer 33. The n-type impurities being implanted may include impurities such as phosphorous (P), arsenic (As) or the like. They are ion-implanted with an energy of 20˜80 KeV. Following the ion-implantation, the implanted impurities are diffused by heat oxidation to form thecounter doping layer 39 whose profile tail overlaps with the bottom portion ofdepletion regions 35. - Referring to FIG. 4C, a
gate oxide layer 41 is formed on the surface of thedepletion regions 35 by heat oxidation. A doped amorphous silicon or polysilicon layer, which is 1500 to 3000 Å thick, is deposited on thefield oxide layer 37 and thegate oxide layer 41 by a CVD method. A photolithographic process is used to pattern the doped amorphous silicon or polysilicon layer, effectively forminggate 43 by leaving only predetermined portions on thedepletion regions 35. - Referring to FIG. 4D,
impurity regions 45 are formed by implanting ions into thedepletion regions 35 using thegate 43 as a mask. During this process, as much as 1×1014˜5×1015/cm2 of n-type of impurities, such as arsenic (As) or phosphorus (P), are ion-implanted with an energy of 20˜50 KeV. The resultingimpurity regions 45 function as source and drain regions. The portion of thedepletion regions 35 between theimpurity regions 45 functions as a channel. - FIGS. 5A and 5B are diagrams of the fabrication process for the semiconductor device in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 5A illustrates the semiconductor device after the process shown in FIG. 4A is completed. In FIG. 5A, a
gate oxide layer 41 is formed on the surface of thedepletion regions 35 by heat oxidation. A doped amorphous silicon or polysilicon layer, which is between 1500 and 3000 Å thick, is deposited on thefield oxide layer 37 and thegate oxide layer 41 by CVD method. A photolithographic process is used to pattern the doped amorphous silicon layer, effectively forminggate 43 by leaving only predetermined portions on thedepletion regions 35. - Referring to FIG. 5B,
impurity regions 45 are formed by implanting ions into thedepletion region 35 using thegate 43 as a mask. During this process, up to 1×1014˜5×1015/cm2 of n-type impurities, such as arsenic (As) or phosphorus (P), are ion-implanted with an energy of 20˜50 KeV. The resultingimpurity regions 45 function as source and drain regions. The portion of thedepletion regions 35 between theimpurity regions 45 functions as a channel. - After formation of the
impurity region 45, acounter doping layer 39 is formed under the channel. To produce thecounter doping layer 39, up to 5×1011˜5×1012/cm2 of n-type impurities, such as phosphorous (P), arsenic (As) or the like, are implanted with an energy of 100˜300 KeV, followed by diffusion by heat treatment. Because the impurity ions are implanted with energy of 100˜300 KeV, the projected range Rp of the implant profile is positioned adjacent to thedepletion regions 35 under thegate 43, but adjacent to thesemiconductor substrate 31 of the buried insulatinglayer 33, and under the portion having nogate 43. Following heat treatment, the impurities around thesemiconductor substrate 31 of the buried insulatinglayer 33 are not diffused across thedepletion regions 35, while those around thedepletion regions 35 of the buried insulatinglayer 33 are diffused across thedepletion regions 35 by thegate 43. Accordingly, the profile tail of thecounter doping layer 39 overlaps the lower portion of thedepletion regions 35 under thegate 43. - As described in the foregoing, the
counter doping layer 39 may be formed before or after theimpurity regions 45. - Using the present invention, deterioration of element characteristics can be prevented by forming a depletion region having a uniform thickness, resulting from the counter doping layer, thereby making the threshold voltage constant.
