Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor circuit formed therein and associated manufacturing methods, and in particular to an SOI substrate in which a multiplicity of buried capacitors are formed.
- the storage capacitors in DRAMs in particular have undergone a long evolution with the aim of keeping the capacitance almost constant at around 30 fF despite the ever decreasing cell area.
- the "stacked capacitor” which is produced after the completion of a selection transistor and has its own contact hole with the Transistor is connected, which results in an increase in surface area of the storage electrode, for example, by a cylindrical configuration.
- the “trench capacitor” is known as a second embodiment, wherein a hole with a very high aspect ratio (depth: diameter) is etched into a semiconductor substrate and the capacitor is produced therein before the selection transistor is formed.
- the capacitance can be increased further
- the surface of the electrode is roughened by hemispherical grains (HFG), and despite these technological efforts it will no longer be possible to achieve the required capacity with the further developed conventional capacitors in the foreseeable future.
- HOG hemispherical grains
- EP 0 921 572 A1 discloses a method for producing capacitors for a DRAM cell, a semiconductor circuit being formed in a first semiconductor substrate and a multiplicity of capacitors being formed in a second Si substrate by means of electrochemical pore etching.
- the two substrates prepared in this way are then brought into contact with one another in such a way that the contact surfaces of the semiconductor circuit touch a predetermined number of capacitors, which results in predetermined total capacitors for the circuit.
- the disadvantages here are increased difficulties in contacting the finished semiconductor circuit and capacitance dependent on the contact area.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of creating a semiconductor substrate and a semiconductor circuit formed therein and associated production methods, it being possible to implement large capacitances in a particularly simple and inexpensive manner.
- this task is performed in particular by a carrier substrate and a semiconductor Component layer solved with an intermediate insulation layer, wherein a plurality of depressions with a dielectric layer and an electrically conductive layer for realizing a plurality of capacitors is formed in the carrier substrate. If such a semiconductor substrate is used, simple contacting of a semiconductor circuit formed therein can also be carried out, capacitors with increased capacitance also being available.
- the electrically conductive layer used to form the plurality of capacitor electrodes is also formed on the surface of the carrier substrate, as a result of which a large number of individual capacitors can be combined in groups and fixed, predetermined capacities can be achieved.
- this electrically conductive layer for realizing a group capacitor with a capacitance of approximately 30 fF, the storage capacitors required in the DRAM in particular can already be prefabricated in the semiconductor substrate.
- the recesses for the capacitors are preferably formed by electrochemical pore etching, as a result of which a finely branched pore system with an extraordinarily large surface area is obtained and short circuits or cross-connections within the pores are automatically prevented.
- a capacitor which is resistant to high temperatures and has a high dielectric constant is preferably used for the dielectric layer formed in the pores, as a result of which, on the one hand, increased capacitances and, on the other hand, improved insensitivity to the subsequent process steps in realizing a semiconductor circuit in the semiconductor component layer.
- the semiconductor substrate is preferably based on an SOI substrate with a single-crystalline Si layer as component layer, an Si0 2 layer as an insulation layer and an Si substrate as a carrier substrate, which is why known manufacturing processes can be modified inexpensively and standard processes and manufacturing devices that are still in use can be used.
- a multiplicity of depressions and a capacitor counterelectrode are first formed in a carrier substrate, and then a dielectric layer is produced on the surface of the depressions and of the carrier substrate.
- An electrically conductive layer for realizing a multiplicity of capacitor electrodes is then formed at least in the multiplicity of depressions and a first partial insulation layer is produced over the entire surface.
- a semiconductor component substrate with a split-off boundary layer formed therein and a second insulation partial layer is provided and is connected to one another with the carrier substrate via the respective insulation partial layers.
- part of the semiconductor component substrate is cleaved off at the cleavage boundary layer, as a result of which the final semiconductor substrate with the large number of capacitors formed in the carrier substrate is obtained in a particularly simple and inexpensive manner.
- the formation of the depressions is preferably realized by an electrochemical pore etching for forming pores in a carrier substrate consisting of semiconductor material and the formation of the capacitor counterelectrode by doping the carrier substrate in the vicinity of the pores.
- Nitrided oxide, Al 2 0 3 and / or Ti0 2 is preferably used as the capacitor dielectric, as a result of which both a high temperature resistance and a high dielectric constant are obtained.
- an electrically conductive layer for realizing the capacitor electrodes an in-situ doped semiconductor material is preferably deposited and structured in such a way that a large number of individual capacitors can be combined to form a group capacitor.
- a DRAM memory cell is preferably formed as the semiconductor component in the semiconductor substrate according to the invention, the capacitors located in the carrier substrate being contacted via a contact hole filled with a connection layer, which is formed in the insulation layer of the semiconductor substrate.
- FIGS. 1A to ID show simplified sectional views to illustrate essential production steps in the production of a semiconductor substrate according to a first exemplary embodiment
- FIGS. 2A and 2B show simplified sectional views to illustrate a semiconductor substrate according to a second exemplary embodiment and an associated method step for producing contact holes
- Figures 3A to 3C Simplified sectional views to illustrate a manufacturing process of a DRAM memory cell.
- FIGS. 1A to IC show simplified sectional views to illustrate essential method steps in the production of a semiconductor substrate according to a first preferred exemplary embodiment.
- a multiplicity of depressions P and a capacitor counterelectrode E1 are formed in a carrier substrate 1, which for example represents a semiconductor substrate and preferably a silicon semiconductor wafer.
- An electrochemical pore etching process is preferably used to form a multiplicity of pores P as depressions in the carrier substrate 1, which has, for example, n-doped silicon.
- the carrier substrate has, for example, a dopant concentration of approximately 10 18 cm -3 and is first connected to a first voltage connection and immersed in a hydrofluoric acid solution (25% by weight). There is an electrode in the hydrofluoric acid solution, which is connected to a second voltage connection. A voltage is then generated between the first voltage connection and the second voltage connection, which is approximately 2 volts.
- the voltage difference between the first and second voltage connection is positive, with a current density that is produced being approximately 100 mA / cm 2 .
- pores P which are approximately 100 nm wide and a few micrometers deep are formed in the carrier substrate 1 after a few minutes, the distances between adjacent pores P being approximately the same, approximately 20 nm, and the pores not being regularly arranged spatially.
- the semiconductor material is doped, for example, in the vicinity of the pores P. It is preferred to form a highly doped and thus electrical conductive layer, a doping glass is formed in the pores P and then diffuses out into the carrier substrate 1 by a thermal treatment. Finally, the doping glass is preferably wet-chemically removed, as a result of which the sectional view shown in FIG. 1A is obtained. Phosphorus silicate glass with a thickness of a few nanometers is preferably deposited in the pores P as the dopant source, as a result of which n + doping is obtained on the entire surface in the region of the pores P in the carrier substrate 1.
- doping from the gas phase can of course also take place, in particular at low pressures, as is known, for example, in the production of trench capacitors.
- Hydrofluoric acid is preferably used as the etchant for removing the doping glass, although other etchants can also be used.
- the pores P formed by the electrochemical pore etching can consequently be produced in a random arrangement without deliberate nucleation, their density, their mean diameter, the thickness of the partition walls and the length being determined by the parameters of the method, e.g. Semiconductor doping, concentration of the etchant, current strength, voltage and etching time can be set over a wide range.
- a dielectric layer D is then formed on the surface of the depressions P and of the carrier substrate 1, nitridized oxide, A1 2 0 3 and / or TiO 2 being preferably formed over the entire surface as a capacitor dielectric. Accordingly, in order to form a nitrided oxide, a thermal oxidation of the carrier substrate 1 and a subsequent nitriding can be carried out first. Alternatively, appropriate materials can be deposited in order to implement the capacitor dielectrics A1 2 0 3 and / or Ti0 2 which are still possible. Especially when using high-temperature resistant capacitor dielectrics, which also have a high dielectric constant, you get a semiconductor substrate which is suitable for a variety of standard processes, ie also high temperature processes, and also realizes capacitors with high capacitance.
- an electrically conductive layer E2 for realizing a multiplicity of capacitor electrodes is then formed on the dielectric layer D, at least in the multiplicity of depressions P.
- ALD Atomic Layer Deposition
- an in-situ doped polycrystalline semiconductor material and preferably in-situ-doped polysilicon is deposited over the entire surface, as a result of which not only are the pores P completely filled, but moreover a layer covering all the pores is formed on the surface of the carrier substrate 1.
- a photolithographic process is preferably carried out for structuring this electrically conductive layer E2, the electrically conductive layer E2 being structured using conventional photoresists, subsequent exposure and final etching in such a way that a multiplicity of individual capacitors (or capacitor electrodes) formed in the carrier substrate 1 ) or group capacitors, whereby according to FIG.
- IC a predetermined number of individual capacitors (or capacitor electrodes) are combined to form a group and realize a group capacitor with a predetermined capacitance.
- Such a structuring can be used in particular when realizing semiconductor substrates for so-called DRAM memory devices can be set in such a way that group capacitors with a desired capacitance of approximately 30 fF result, as are usually necessary in DRAM cells.
- Such structuring is preferably carried out by means of anisotropic etch-back processes, such as RIE (Reactive Ion Etching).
- RIE reactive Ion Etching
- a first insulation partial layer 2A is then formed over the entire surface of this machined surface of the carrier substrate 1, a TEOS deposition process (tetraethyl ortho silicate) preferably being carried out.
- a CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) process can preferably be carried out after the partial insulation layer 2A has been formed and in particular after the deposition of a TEOS layer.
- a further semiconductor component substrate 3 with a cleavage boundary layer 3S and a second insulation sublayer 2B is provided, wherein again a silicon semiconductor wafer with a silicon dioxide layer 2B is preferably provided and the cleavage boundary layer is formed by means of hydrogen implantation.
- an (upper) part of the semiconductor component substrate 3 is split off at the split-off boundary layer 3S, as a result of which the finished semiconductor substrate S is obtained with a large number of buried capacitors.
- This cleavage process is preferably carried out by a further thermal treatment, in the case of the hydrogen implantation described above the upper part of the wafer chipping or being cleaved off along the implanted cleavage boundary layer.
- splitting process known as the "smart cut” process
- other processes such as the so-called “ELTRAN X process” can also be carried out, a porous semiconductor layer being used as the splitting boundary layer 3S and the upper part of the semiconductor being lifted off by means of a liquid jet - Component substrate 3 can be performed.
- FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B show simplified sectional views to illustrate a semiconductor substrate according to a second exemplary embodiment and a method step for realizing capacitors with different capacitances, the same reference symbols denoting identical or corresponding layers or elements and a repeated description being omitted below.
- the electrically conductive layer E2 can also be structured such that there is no grouping of individual capacitors, as shown in FIG. IC, but rather the electrically conductive layer E2 deposited on the surface of the carrier substrate completely up to the surface of the carrier substrate 1 or the dielectric layer D is etched back or the electrically conductive layer E2 is only etched up to the surface of the pores P. is filled. In this way, there is no electrically conductive connection of the individual capacitors or capacitor electrodes E2, which is why the capacitor capacitance can only be defined via the size of a contact hole.
- contact holes VI and V2 of different sizes can accordingly be formed by means of a mask layer M, which expose a different number of individual capacitors or number of capacitor electrodes E2, as a result of which a fine-grained setting of a capacitance can also be carried out in a later production process in order to implement a respective semiconductor circuit can be realized.
- FIGS. 3A to 3C show simplified sectional views to illustrate essential method steps in the production of a semiconductor circuit in a semiconductor substrate according to the first exemplary embodiment, the same reference symbols again denoting the same layers or elements and a repeated description being omitted below.
- a shallow trench isolation (not shown) is first formed in the semiconductor component layer 3 in order to implement active regions ,

- steps are explicitly referred to the known standard MOS methods.
- a contact hole V is then formed at least in the insulation layer 2 and the semiconductor component layer 3 in order to implement a connection region to the buried capacitor or to the capacitor electrode E2, it also being possible for this layer to be removed locally if the gate oxide layer or the gate dielectric 4 is present.
- this contact hole V is formed directly on the side walls of the spacers 8 of the selection transistors AT, as a result of which a respective source / drain region 7 and an associated capacitor electrode E2 are exposed.
- a relatively imprecise photolithographic method can be used to implement the contact holes V, only an overlap of the lithography openings with the selection transistor encapsulation or the spacers 8 and the cover layer 6 having to be ensured.
- the contact holes V can be designed to be self-adjusting.
- An anisotropic etching method and in particular a reactive ion etching (RIE) is preferably carried out in the region of the contact hole V in order to remove the insulation layer 2 of the semiconductor component layer 3 and optionally the gate dielectric 4.
- RIE reactive ion etching
- connection layer 9 is then formed in the contact hole V between the semiconductor component or the source / drain region 7 of the selection transistor AT and at least one capacitor electrode E2.
- a further in-situ doped polycrystalline semiconductor layer and in particular polycrystalline silicon is preferably deposited over the entire surface and then isotropically or anisotropically etched back into the contact hole V.
- an intermediate insulation layer 10 is finally formed with a bit line contact 11, which contacts a respective complementary source / drain region 7 of the selection transistor AT.
- an electrically conductive bit line layer 12 is finally formed and structured on the surface of the intermediate insulation layer 10 in a customary manner, as a result of which the final sectional view of a DRAM memory cell according to the invention shown in FIG. 3C is obtained.
- the invention has been described above using an SOI substrate with a Si carrier substrate, an SiO 2 insulation layer and a single-crystalline Si semiconductor component layer, polycrystalline silicon being used as the electrically conductive layer and nitrided oxide being used as the dielectric layer.
