Definitions
- the field generally relates to FinFET devices and, in particular, to a FinFET device having a SiGe channel region and method for forming same.
- a fin field-effect-transistor is a non-planar, multi-gate transistor having a structure that rises above a planar substrate, resulting in more volume than a planar gate for the same planar area.
- FinFETs include a gate which wraps around a conducting channel, and which has been referred to as a fin. Due to the wrapped around structure, relatively little current leaks through the body when the device is in the off state, resulting in lower threshold voltages, and more optimal switching speeds and power.
- SiGe FinFET devices have been proposed as an alternative to silicon (Si) FinFET devices.
- SiGe is able to provide pFET voltage thresholds (VTs) of, for example, about 0.25V, compared to silicon counterparts, which give VTs of greater than 0.5V.
- VTs pFET voltage thresholds
- SiGe pFET devices typically have higher channel mobility than silicon pFET devices.
- Boron has been used as a p-type dopant for source/drain (SD) and extension formation in pFETs.
- SD source/drain
- boron diffusivity is lower in SiGe than in silicon and, as a result, the SiGe devices are likely to be underlapped and have high access resistance. As a result, the high channel mobility may not translate to higher performance.
- exemplary embodiments of the invention include FinFET devices and, in particular, FinFET devices having a SiGe channel region and method for forming same.
- a method for forming a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) device comprises forming a plurality of silicon fins on a substrate, depositing silicon germanium (SiGe) on the plurality of fins, forming a gate region by forming a dummy gate stack on a predetermined area of the fins including the SiGe, removing the SiGe from an area of the fins not covered by the dummy gate stack, forming a merged region in the area of the fins not covered by the dummy gate stack to form a source drain region, removing the dummy gate stack to expose the remaining SiGe in the gate region, mixing the SiGe with the silicon fins in the gate region to form SiGe fins, and depositing a gate dielectric and gate metal on the SiGe fins.
- SiGe silicon germanium
- a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) device comprises a substrate, a gate structure formed on the substrate, the gate structure comprising a gate dielectric and gate metal, and a silicon germanium (SiGe) fin formed under the gate dielectric and the gate metal, and a source drain region adjacent the gate structure, wherein the source drain region comprises a merged epitaxial region including a dopant, and a silicon fin, and a junction between the silicon fin and SiGe, wherein the junction comprises the dopant from the merged epitaxial region.

- the embodiments of the present invention include heterojunction FinFET devices (e.g., pFinFET devices) and methods of manufacturing the same, wherein the SiGe forms the channel and the source/drain junctions are made of silicon.
- This design maintains the low-V T (threshold voltage) obtained by using a SiGe pFET, while reducing the access resistance since the source drain and extension junctions are made of silicon instead of SiGe.
- the diffusivity of boron in silicon which is higher relative to that in SiGe, leads to an overlapped junction and lower resistance.
- the embodiments of the present invention result in higher channel mobility and higher performance.
- the FinFET devices and methods for forming same in accordance with the embodiments of the present invention can be employed in applications, hardware, and/or electronic systems.

Abstract
Description
- The field generally relates to FinFET devices and, in particular, to a FinFET device having a SiGe channel region and method for forming same.
- A fin field-effect-transistor (FinFET) is a non-planar, multi-gate transistor having a structure that rises above a planar substrate, resulting in more volume than a planar gate for the same planar area. FinFETs include a gate which wraps around a conducting channel, and which has been referred to as a fin. Due to the wrapped around structure, relatively little current leaks through the body when the device is in the off state, resulting in lower threshold voltages, and more optimal switching speeds and power.
- Silicon germanium (SiGe) FinFET devices have been proposed as an alternative to silicon (Si) FinFET devices. SiGe is able to provide pFET voltage thresholds (VTs) of, for example, about 0.25V, compared to silicon counterparts, which give VTs of greater than 0.5V. In addition, SiGe pFET devices typically have higher channel mobility than silicon pFET devices.
- Boron has been used as a p-type dopant for source/drain (SD) and extension formation in pFETs. However, boron diffusivity is lower in SiGe than in silicon and, as a result, the SiGe devices are likely to be underlapped and have high access resistance. As a result, the high channel mobility may not translate to higher performance.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a FinFET device that is able to utilize the voltage threshold benefits of SiGe without sacrificing boron diffusivity for source drain and extension formation.
- In general, exemplary embodiments of the invention include FinFET devices and, in particular, FinFET devices having a SiGe channel region and method for forming same.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method for forming a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) device, comprises forming a plurality of silicon fins on a substrate, depositing silicon germanium (SiGe) on the plurality of fins, forming a gate region by forming a dummy gate stack on a predetermined area of the fins including the SiGe, removing the SiGe from an area of the fins not covered by the dummy gate stack, forming a merged region in the area of the fins not covered by the dummy gate stack to form a source drain region, removing the dummy gate stack to expose the remaining SiGe in the gate region, mixing the SiGe with the silicon fins in the gate region to form SiGe fins, and depositing a gate dielectric and gate metal on the SiGe fins.
- According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) device, comprises a substrate, a gate structure formed on the substrate, the gate structure comprising a gate dielectric and gate metal, and a silicon germanium (SiGe) fin formed under the gate dielectric and the gate metal, and a source drain region adjacent the gate structure, wherein the source drain region comprises a merged epitaxial region including a dopant, and a silicon fin, and a junction between the silicon fin and SiGe, wherein the junction comprises the dopant from the merged epitaxial region.
- These and other exemplary embodiments of the invention will be described or become apparent from the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments, which is to be read in connection with the accompanying drawings.

This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
- The embodiments of the present invention include heterojunction FinFET devices (e.g., pFinFET devices) and methods of manufacturing the same, wherein the SiGe forms the channel and the source/drain junctions are made of silicon. This design maintains the low-VT (threshold voltage) obtained by using a SiGe pFET, while reducing the access resistance since the source drain and extension junctions are made of silicon instead of SiGe. As a result, the diffusivity of boron in silicon, which is higher relative to that in SiGe, leads to an overlapped junction and lower resistance. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention result in higher channel mobility and higher performance.

FIGS. 2A and 2B , which are cross-sectional and top views, respectively, illustrating fin formation in a method of manufacturing a FinFET device, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention,fins 116 are formed by patterning theSOI layer 114. Patterning is performed by, for example, image transfer and etching. InFIG. 2A the cross-section is taken along a line perpendicular to thefins 116. - Referring to
FIGS. 3A and 3B , which are cross-sectional and top views, respectively, illustrating deposition of SiGe on fins in a method of manufacturing a FinFET device, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, SiGe 118 is deposited on the fins onsubstrate 110, in a selective epitaxial process, which deposits the SiGe on exposed silicon, (e.g., on thefins 116, not separately on the oxide 112). As can be seen from the views inFIGS. 3A and 3B , the SiGe 118 is deposited over the structure including the sides and tops of thefins 116. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, about 40% to about 100% germanium fraction SiGe is deposited, and a thickness of the fins is about 5 nm, measured in a left to right direction inFIG. 3A . In accordance with an embodiment, a thickness of theSiGe 118 covering thefins 116 is about 2 nm, resulting in an overall fin thickness of 9 nm. Depending on design constraints, the percentage of germanium and the thicknesses of the fins and SiGe can be varied. -
FIGS. 4A , 4B and 4C are two cross-sectional views and a top view, respectively, illustrating deposition and patterning of a dummy gate stack and spacer, and removal of exposed SiGe in the source drain regions in a method of manufacturing a FinFET device, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. A dummy or sacrificial gate stack layer is deposited on the resulting structure fromFIGS. 3A and 3B , and patterned to formdummy gate stack 120 around sides and on upper surfaces of designated portions of thefins 116 for the gate areas. In accordance with an embodiment, agate hardmask 122, for example, a nitride, or any dielectric or combination of dielectric layers, is formed on thedummy gate stack 120. The cross-section inFIG. 4A is taken along a line parallel to thefins 116, and the cross-section inFIG. 4B is taken along a line perpendicular to thefins 116 and cutting through thedummy gate 120. - A spacer layer is also deposited on the resulting structure of
FIGS. 3A-3B , and is patterned by, for example, reactive ion etching (RIE) to formspacer pattern 124 along sides of the dummy gate stack andhardmask spacer pattern 124 isolates thegate stack 120 from the source drain regions on either side of thegate stack 120. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an extension implant (not shown) may be performed. - Referring to
FIGS. 4A-4C , theSiGe layer 118 on thefins 116 under thedummy gate stack 120 andspacer 124 remains, but is removed from thefins 116 in exposed regions (i.e., source drain regions) not covered by thegate stack 120 and thespacer 124. In accordance with an embodiment, some of the SiGe under thespacer 124 will be etched during the SiGe removal process, moving the extension (described further below) closer to the channel. TheSiGe layer 118 is removed from the exposed regions using, for example, HCl gas etch, or wet etches, such as, for example, hydrogen peroxide H2O2, especially at higher SiGe concentrations, or SCl clean (1:1:5 solution of NH4OH (ammonium hydroxide)+H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)+H2O (water)). According to an embodiment, an HCl gas etch is performed prior to the epitaxial merge step, in an epitaxial reactor. Performing the HCl gas etch in this manner will not add an extra process step, resulting instead in, for example, a few additional seconds of process time. Removal of the SiGe from the silicon fin in the epitaxial reactor just prior to the epitaxial merge epitaxy is beneficial in regards to surface cleanliness. - Referring to
FIGS. 5A and 5B , which are cross-sectional and top views, respectively, illustrating merging of the SD region in a method of manufacturing a FinFET device, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, thefins 116 forming the SD region are merged by epitaxially growing SiGe and/or silicon on the exposed Si surfaces of thefins 116 so that thefins 116 contact each other through themerged region 126 in an integrated structure. According to an embodiment, merging is performed with epitaxial in-situ boron doped silicon. Themerged epitaxy region 126 can be in-situ doped with boron or other appropriate impurity. According to another embodiment, merging is performed with in-situ boron doped SiGe. In another alternative embodiment, merging is performed and subsequent ion implantation can follow the epitaxial merging process. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, in-situ doping and the dopant being substitutionally incorporated during epitaxial deposition is performed without activation annealing. The doping level can be about 1×1020 to about 1.5×1021 cm3, for example, about 4×1020 to about 8×1020 cm3. In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a junction anneal step, such as rapid thermal annealing (RTA) or laser spike annealing (LSA), can follow the merging and/or the ion implantation step to activate the source drain dopants. - Since dopant diffusivity is higher in silicon than in SiGe, the source drain dopant atoms are able diffuse through the
silicon fins 116 to form junctions. As a result, overlapped low resistance source drain junction formation is possible. - Boron diffusion is low in SiGe, even in low percentage SiGe. In the case of boron doped SiGe forming the
merged region 126, the boron doped SiGe wraps around the fin in the source drain region. The drive in anneal is performed to diffuse the boron from the SiGe into the silicon fin. Referring toFIG. 11 explained further below, the boron diffused inside thesilicon fin 116 toward the gate forming the extension forms the boron dopedsilicon junction 127 underspacer 124, which connects to the later formedSiGe fin 136. - Referring to

RIE is very selective to inverse lithography technology (ILT) using high density plasma (HDP) oxide. The remaining poly-silicon is removed by hot ammonia (NH4OH).FIG. 8A is a cross-section taken along a line parallel to the fins, andFIG. 8B is a cross-section taken along line I-I′ perpendicular to the fins. - Stripping of the
gate hardmask 122 and thedummy gate layer 120 leaves exposed theSiGe layer 118 that remained under the gate structure after formation of thedummy gate 120 and thegate hardmask 122 inFIGS. 4A-4C . -
FIGS. 9A , 9B and 9C are two cross-sectional views and a top view, respectively, illustrating Si/SiGe intermixing annealing and oxide stripping in a method of manufacturing a FinFET device, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. - At this stage, thermal mixing is performed to convert the portion of the
silicon fins 116 in the gate region intoSiGe fins 136. The anneal process can be furnace anneal, rapid thermal anneal, flash anneal, or any suitable combination of those processes. The anneal temperature ranges from about 600 degrees to about 1300 degrees Centigrade. The anneal time ranges from about 1 millisecond to about 2 hours, depending on the anneal temperature. Higher anneal temperatures require shorter anneal times. According to an embodiment, a typical anneal condition is about 2 minutes at 900° C. Such annealing causes the mixing of the germanium containing layer and the crystalline silicon layer in the pFET region of the structure. - In connection with the mixing, according to an embodiment, a selectively removable material can be put into the open dummy gate trench to maintain the fin shape during the anneal step.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, post cleans may consume about 1 nm of the
SiGe layer 118 resulting in modifiedfins 136 that are about 7 nm thick after processing and are about 20% to about 50% SiGe and about 80% to about 50% silicon given, for example, about 40% to about 100% germanium fraction SiGe mentioned above. The percentage of germanium in the deposited SiGe can be varied to result in a desired SiGe:Si ratio. For example, 50% SiGe and 50% silicon can be formed by depositing 100% germanium and performing thermal mixing. Mixing can be achieved by thermal oxidation and drive in of SiGe into the silicon fin, which may cause some material loss due to oxide formation. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, the resulting oxide can be stripped in a controlled and selective manner with minimal loss by, for example, chemical oxide removal (COR) and/or plasma assisted etching. Alternatively, the mixing can be accomplished using an inert gas to minimize loss of material. Inert gases include argon, and helium, for example. -
FIGS. 10A and 10B are cross-sectional and top views, respectively, illustrating deposition of a gate dielectric and gate metal, and formation of source drain and gate contacts in a method of manufacturing a FinFET device, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. After formation of theSiGe fins 136, a gate dielectric (not shown) is deposited on upper and side surfaces of thefins 136, followed bygate metal 140 deposited on the upper and side surfaces of thefins 136 including the gate dielectric layer. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, thegate metal 140 may include, for example silicide and tungsten, but is not limited thereto. Thegate metal 140 is also deposited invias 138 formed in thefield dielectric layer 128 to form the source drain contacts. -
FIG. 10A illustrates a structure after forming a gate structure including a gate dielectric material portion and a gate conductor material portion within a gate cavity. In one embodiment, the gate dielectric material portion (not shown) has a bottommost portion in direct contact with upper and side surfaces of theSiGe fins 136. The gate dielectric material portion can be a high k material having a dielectric constant greater than silicon oxide. Exemplary high k dielectrics include, but are not limited to, HfO2, ZrO2, La2O3, Al2O3, TiO2, SrTiO3, LaAlO3, Y2O3, HfOxNy, ZrOxNy, La2OxNy, Al2OxNy, TiOxNy, SrTiOxNy, LaAlOxNy, Y2OxNy, SiON, SiNx, a silicate thereof, and an alloy thereof. Each value of x is independently from 0.5 to 3 and each value of y is independently from 0 to 2. In some embodiments, a multilayered gate dielectric structure comprising different gate dielectric materials, e.g. silicon oxide, and a high k gate dielectric can be formed. - The gate dielectric material portion can be formed by any deposition technique including, for example, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), sputtering, and atomic layer deposition.
- After providing the gate dielectric material portion, the
gate metal 140 can be formed atop the gate dielectric material portion and filling the remaining space of each gate cavity. Thegate metal 140 can include any conductive metal material including, for example, an elemental metal (e.g., tungsten, titanium, tantalum, aluminum, nickel, ruthenium, palladium and platinum), an alloy of at least two elemental metals, an elemental metal nitride (e.g., tungsten nitride, aluminum nitride, and titanium nitride), an elemental metal silicide (e.g., tungsten silicide, nickel silicide, and titanium silicide) and multilayered combinations thereof. Thegate metal 140 can be formed utilizing a deposition process including, for example, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), sputtering, atomic layer deposition (ALD) and other like deposition processes. When a metal silicide is formed, a conventional silicidation process is employed. -
FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along line inFIG. 9C through thefin 136, and additionally showing the depositedgate metal 140 fromFIGS. 10A and 10B . As mentioned above, according to an embodiment, themerged region 126 includes, for example, boron doped silicon or SiGe, which, as shown by the cross-sectional view inFIG. 11 , is wrapped around thesilicon fin 116 in the source drain region. In other words, thesilicon fins 116 are wrapped with boron doped material. Since dopant diffusivity is higher in silicon than in SiGe, the source drain dopant atoms (e.g., boron) are able diffuse through the silicon forming themerged region 126 to formjunctions 127 under thespacers 124 close to theSiGe fin 136 under thegate 140. As a result, overlapped low resistance source drain junction formation is possible. Themixed SiGe region 136 under thegate 140 is diffused out toward thespacer 124. The SiGe is thermally mixed into the silicon fin in the gate region and also under thespacer 124 to form themixed SiGe region 136. During this thermal mix, according to an embodiment, anneal in-situ boron dopant is diffused from themerged epitaxy 126 to thejunctions 127 via thesilicon fin 116 with boron driven in from the merged epitaxy. The thermal anneal step oxidizes the silicon in the SiGe around the fin and drives the remaining Ge into the fin to form anSiGe fin 136. Toward thespacer 124 and source drain region, the SiGe fin is connected to the silicon part of the same fin. - The drive in anneal is performed to diffuse the boron from
merged region 126 into the silicon-fin 116. The boron diffused inside the fin toward the gate forming the extension forms the boron doped silicon underspacer 124, which connects to the later formedSiGe fin 136. - Although illustrative embodiments of the present invention have been described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to those precise embodiments, and that various other changes and modifications may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention.
