Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacture thereof, and more particularly to a semiconductor device including an field effect transistor.
- Si-MOSFET's SiMOS field effect transistors
- the various improvements as mentioned above are ironically enough caught in the result that the mobility in Si in the real device is smaller than 100 or is far less than the value of mobility in bulk.
- the further improvement in performance has a need to contemplate the enhancement in speed by improving a semiconductor material itself.
- One solution is to use a so-called compound semiconductor which provides a high speed in itself.
- this solution is not realistic since it is very difficult to combine the compound semiconductor technology with the Si integrated circuit technology and the manufacture cost becomes stupendous.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device having a field effect transistor with a low power consumption and a high speed by use of the combination of Si and an element such as Ge, C or the like in the same group as that of Si.
- a strain applying semiconductor layer applies a strain to a channel forming layer in which a channel of a field effect transistor is formed.
- the mobility of carriers in the channel is made larger than the mobility of carriers in that material of the channel forming layer which is unstrained.
- the strain application makes the in-plane lattice constant of the Si channel forming layer larger than that of unstrained Si.
- a semiconductor device having a p-type field effect transistor in which the energy at a top of the valence band of the interface between a channel forming layer and one of layers adjacent to opposite surfaces of the channel forming layer lying on a gate insulating film side of the channel forming layer is made larger than that of the interface between the channel forming layer and the other adjoining layer lying on the other side of the channel forming layer.
- a semiconductor device having an n-type field effect transistor in which the energy at a top of the conduction band of the interface between a channel forming layer and one of layers adjacent to opposite surfaces of the channel forming layer lying on a gate insulating film side of the channel forming layer is made smaller than that of the interface between the channel forming layer and the other adjoining layer lying on the other side of the channel forming layer.
- an energy barrier for carriers in a channel of a field effect transistor exists on a side of the channel opposite to a gate insulating film, and the lattice of a channel forming layer having the channel formed therein is strained so that the mobility of carriers in the channel is made larger than the mobility of carriers in that material of the channel forming layer which is unstrained.

- FIGS. 16 a to 16 d are cross sections showing the manufacture steps of an SOI substrate according to Embodiment 10 of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a band diagram of the multilayered structure of an SiO 2 gate insulating film 3 , a strained Si layer 1 and an Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer 2 .
- the band diagram exhibits a band discontinuity the type of which is such that the band gap 6 of the strained Si layer 1 is wider than the band gap 7 of the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer 2 and the energies of the valence band 5 and the conduction band 4 of the strained Si layer 1 are both lowered.
- the application of a positive voltage to the gate causes a band bend in the vicinity of the interface between the gate insulating film 3 and the strained Si layer 1 , as shown in FIG. 2 , so that electrons are stored in a notch 10 of the conduction band in the strained Si layer 1 formed in the bent portion, thereby enabling a transistor operation.
- This is quite the same as an ordinary MOS type field effect transistor.
- the application of a negative voltage to the gate causes a band bend in the vicinity of the interface between the gate insulating film 3 and the strained Si layer 1 , as shown in FIG. 3 .
- more holes are stored in a notch 12 of the valence band in the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer 2 formed in the interface between the strained Si layer 1 and the Si -x Ge x strain applying layer 2 than a notch 11 of the valence band in the strained Si layer 1 formed in the bent portion.
- the source/drain junction depth is made sufficiently shallower than the thickness of the strained Si layer 1 , thereby preventing the effluence of holes into the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer 2 . More particularly, for example, when the thickness of the strained Si layer 1 is 70 nm, the junction depth may be selected to be about 40 nm. Since this is much the same as a value used in a short-channel device having a channel length shorter than 0.1 microns, it is sufficiently realizable.
- a steep n-type doping preferably, with the doping depth in the range of 0.1 to 30 nm is applied in the vicinity of the interface between the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer 2 and the strained Si layer 1 .
- the energy level at the top 43 of the notch 12 of the valence band in the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer 2 is lowered, as shown in FIG. 4 .
- the storage of holes in the notch 12 is reduced.
- This method can also be realized by applying the n-type doping to the strained Si layer 1 or both the strained Si layer and the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer 2 .
- the doping depth is in the range of 0.1 to 30 nm.
- a substrate biasing voltage is controlled so that a positive voltage is applied onto the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer 2 side.
- this method provides a band structure with a downward inclination on the right side, that is, a falling on the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer 2 side so that the energy level at the top 43 of the notch 12 of the valence band in the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer 2 becomes lower than the energy level at the top 42 of the notch 11 of the valence band in the strained Si layer 1 .
- the storage of holes in the notch 12 is reduced.
- the prevention of the effluence of holes from the strained Si channel into the strain applying layer is a factor indispensable to the realization of a p-type field effect transistor or complementary field effect transistors.
- the employment of the following construction is also effective. Namely, the material of a drain region in the case of a p-type field effect transistor or a source region in the case of an n-type field effect transistor is selected to be the same parent material as the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer or to have the same composition ratio as the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer.
- a band discontinuity between the strained Si and the SiGe causes a change in electric field distribution between the source and the drain to enable the more effective acceleration of carriers.
- a further enhancement in speed can be contemplated and the reduction in pinch off voltage enables an operation at a low voltage.
- the effluence of holes into the strain applying layer 2 becomes hard to generate.
- the mobility of holes in the strained Si 1-y Ge y layer 25 is higher than the mobility of electrons in the strained Si layer 1
- a construction having the strained Si 1-y Ge y layer 25 far from the gate electrode or overlaid by the strained Si layer 1 is more preferable considering a balance in mutual conductance in the case where complementary field effect transistors are formed.
- an additional SiGe layer may be sandwiched between the strained Si layer 1 or the strained Si 1-y Ge y layer 25 and the gate insulating film 3 .
- electrons or holes are confined in the strained Si layer 1 or the strained Si -y Ge y layer 25 in the vicinity of the interface thereof with the additional SiGe layer, they are free of the influences of the interface state with respect to the gate insulating film 3 and the scattering thereat.
- the strained Si layer and the strained Si 1-y Ge y layer may be grown by use of a selective growth method so that the strained Si 1-y Ge y layer is grown in a p-channel area while the strained Si layer is grown in an n-channel area.
- the lattice constant of Ge is larger than that of Si by about 4%.
- the lattice constant of Si 1-x Ge x takes an interpolated value in accordance with the Ge composition ratio. Accordingly, if a proper value of x is selected, it is possible to apply a desired strain to Si or Ge overlying Si 1-x Ge x . For example, if x is selected to be 0.5, it is possible to apply an in-plane tensile strain of 2% and an in-plane compressive strain of 2% to Si and Ge, respectively. The magnitude of the strain of each of Si and Si 1-y Ge y can be controlled in accordance with the selected value of x.
- the in-plane lattice constant of a strained Si layer can be made larger than that of unstrained Si within a range of proportions less than 4% and the in-plane lattice constant of a strained Si 1-y Ge y layer can be made smaller than that of unstrained Ge within a range of proportions less than 4%.
- a balance in mobility between electrons and holes can be controlled to make a balance in transconductance between complementary field effect transistors with each other.
- the adjustment has been made only by changing the dimensions of the device.
- the present method mentioned above provides an increase of the degree of freedom in design and is advantageous to an increase in degree of integration.
- the way for strain control excepting the change in Ge composition ratio of Si 1-x Ge x may be to change the composition ratio y in (Si 1-x Ge x ) 1-y C y having the addition of C.
- a method of adding C may be the addition of C at the time of growth of a strain applying layer or the addition of C through ion implantation or the like after the growth of a strain applying layer.
- the strain applying layer may be provided by a method of growing Si 1-x Ge x having a fixed composition or may be a so-called graded buffer layer formed by a method of increasing a composition ratio x gradually toward the direction of growth from an Si substrate. Also, a method of growing an Si layer with high defect density on an Si substrate at a low temperature or forming a defect layer on an Si substrate, for example, through the implantation of ions of hydrogen, Si, Ge or the like and thereafter growing Si 1-x Ge x is preferable since a threading dislocation density can be reduced as compared with the case where Si 1-x Ge x is directly grown on an Si substrate and since there results in a satisfactory surface flatness.
- a further enhancement in speed can be contemplated by virtue of the reduction of a stray capacity.
- SOI Silicon On Insulator
- a wafer-bonding type SOI substrate, an SIMOX (Separation by Implanted Oxygen) substrate and so forth are commercially available for SOI.
- An Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer can be grown on such a substrate to manufacture a strained Si (S 1-y Ge y (0 ⁇ y ⁇ 1)) field effect transistor in which the best use of the feature of SOI is made.
- a method which includes the steps of first growing an Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer on an Si substrate, thereafter performing the implantation of oxygen ions and a heat treatment to bury an SiO 2 insulating layer in the Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer or in Si just therebelow and thereafter growing a strained Si layer or a method which includes the steps of first growing an Si 1-x Ge x strain applying layer and a strained Si layer on an Si substrate and thereafter performing the implantation of oxygen ions and a heat treatment to bury an SiO 2 insulating layer in the strained Si layer.

And, the present substrate is provided with the feature of strained Si that by virtue of the effect of strain, the effective mass in the SOI active layer is light and the electron and hole mobilities therein are high. Also, since the SiO 2 insulating layer lies just below the strained Si layer, there is not generated the earlier-mentioned problem in pMOS that holes flow into the strain applying layer.

- the ⁇ 110> direction is used as the channel for electrons.
