Description

半導体装置及びその製造方法Semiconductor device and manufacturing method thereof
 本開示は、チャネルがSiGe層によって形成されたP型電界効果型トランジスタ(P型FET)であって、基板リーク電流の低減が可能なトランジスタとその製造方法に関するものである。 The present disclosure relates to a P-type field effect transistor (P-type FET) having a channel formed of a SiGe layer, and capable of reducing a substrate leakage current, and a method for manufacturing the same.
 半導体装置のデザインルールの縮小に伴い、回路の集積度は飛躍的に向上し、1チップ上に1億個以上の電界効果型トランジスタ(FET、Feild Effect Transistor )を搭載することも可能となっている。高性能なトランジスタを実現するためには、ゲート長の縮小に加えて、ゲート絶縁膜の薄膜化も求められている。 As the design rules for semiconductor devices have shrunk, the degree of circuit integration has dramatically improved, and more than 100 million field-effect transistors (FETs, Feild-Effect-Transistors) can be mounted on a single chip. Yes. In order to realize a high-performance transistor, it is required to reduce the gate insulating film in addition to reducing the gate length.
 従来、ゲート絶縁膜には、シリコン酸化膜又はその窒化膜であるシリコン酸窒化膜が用いられてきた。しかし、EOT(Equivalent Oxide Thickness、シリコン酸化膜換算膜厚)が2nm以下である薄膜領域になると、ゲートリーク電流が増大し、回路の消費電力が増大する。このため、ゲートリーク電流を低減しつつ、EOT薄膜化を実現するために、高誘電率ゲート絶縁膜に関心が寄せられている。 Conventionally, a silicon oxynitride film, which is a silicon oxide film or a nitride film thereof, has been used for the gate insulating film. However, when the thin film region has an EOT (Equivalent Oxide Thickness) of 2 nm or less, the gate leakage current increases and the power consumption of the circuit increases. For this reason, in order to reduce the gate leakage current and realize the EOT thin film, attention is focused on the high dielectric constant gate insulating film.
 また、更なるEOT薄膜化のために、高誘電率ゲート絶縁膜/メタルゲート電極構造を有するトランジスタについて多くの研究開発がなされている。これは、ゲート電極として従来のシリコン電極に代えて窒化チタン、窒化タンタル等のメタル材料を用い、高誘電率ゲート絶縁膜と組み合わせた構造である。 Further, in order to further reduce the EOT film thickness, many researches and developments have been made on transistors having a high dielectric constant gate insulating film / metal gate electrode structure. This is a structure in which a metal material such as titanium nitride or tantalum nitride is used in place of a conventional silicon electrode as a gate electrode and combined with a high dielectric constant gate insulating film.
 高誘電率ゲート絶縁膜/メタルゲート電極構造を実現する上での重要となる点の一つに、トランジスタのしきい値電圧制御がある。従来用いられていたシリコン電極の場合、不純物イオン注入によってシリコン電極の仕事関数を調整し、N型FET、P型FETそれぞれに適したしきい値電圧を実現してきた。具体的に、N型FETに対しては、シリコン電極にヒ素、リン等のN型不純物を注入することにより仕事関数の低減を図り、P型FETに対しては、シリコン電極にボロン等のP型不純物を注入することによって仕事関数の増大を図ってきた。 One of the important points in realizing a high dielectric constant gate insulating film / metal gate electrode structure is the threshold voltage control of the transistor. In the case of a conventionally used silicon electrode, the work function of the silicon electrode is adjusted by impurity ion implantation, and a threshold voltage suitable for each of the N-type FET and the P-type FET has been realized. Specifically, for N-type FETs, an N-type impurity such as arsenic or phosphorus is implanted into the silicon electrode to reduce the work function. For P-type FETs, P or the like such as boron is used for the silicon electrode. Work functions have been increased by implanting type impurities.
 しかしながら、メタル電極については、不純物注入による仕事関数制御ができない。このため、トランジスタのしきい値電圧制御が重要となっている。 However, work functions cannot be controlled by impurity implantation for metal electrodes. For this reason, the threshold voltage control of the transistor is important.
 P型FETのしきい値電圧制御の手段(特に、低減の手段)として、トランジスタのチャネル領域を、従来はSi(シリコン)からなる層であったのに代えて、Ge(ゲルマニウム)を含むSi1-x Ge(0<x≦1)からなる層として形成することが提案されている(非特許文献1)。尚、本明細書中において、Si1-x Ge(0<x≦1)の意味で単にSiGeと表記する場合がある。 As a means for controlling the threshold voltage of the P-type FET (particularly, a means for reducing), the channel region of the transistor is replaced with a Si (germanium) containing Si (germanium) instead of a conventional silicon (silicon) layer. It has been proposed to form a layer made of 1-x Ge x (0 <x ≦ 1) (Non-patent Document 1). In this specification, Si 1-x Ge x (0 <x ≦ 1) may be simply expressed as SiGe.
 このような技術によると、例えば、半導体基板に形成されたP型FETにおいて、半導体基板の表面から50nm程度の範囲(チャネル領域の構成される部分を含む範囲)をSiGeによって形成する。 According to such a technique, for example, in a P-type FET formed on a semiconductor substrate, a range of about 50 nm (a range including a portion where a channel region is formed) is formed from SiGe with SiGe.
 このようにすると、以下に説明するメカニズムにより、しきい値電圧が低減される。 In this case, the threshold voltage is reduced by the mechanism described below.
 まず、Siのエネルギーバンドギャップは1.12eVであるのに比べ、Geのエネルギーバンドギャップは0.66eVと小さい。また、SiとGeとの混晶であるSiGeのエネルギーバンドギャップは、Geの組成比xに応じて、0.66~1.12eVの間にて連続的に変化する。 First, the energy band gap of Ge is as small as 0.66 eV, compared to the energy band gap of Si being 1.12 eV. The energy band gap of SiGe, which is a mixed crystal of Si and Ge, continuously changes between 0.66 and 1.12 eV depending on the Ge composition ratio x.
 また、Si及びGeは、ほぼ同じ電子親和力を有する。このため、Geの組成比xの変化に伴うSiGeのエネルギーバンドギャップの変動は、主に、価電子帯のエネルギーの変動に起因する。つまり、SiGeの価電子帯のエネルギーは、Siの価電子帯のエネルギーに比べて高くなる。 Further, Si and Ge have almost the same electron affinity. For this reason, the fluctuation of the energy band gap of SiGe accompanying the change of the Ge composition ratio x is mainly caused by the fluctuation of the energy of the valence band. That is, the energy of the valence band of SiGe is higher than the energy of the valence band of Si.
 この結果、Siチャネルに代えてSiGeチャネルを形成することにより、しきい値電圧を低減することが可能となる。尚、しきい値電圧を有意に低減するためには、Geを10%よりも多く含む(0.1<x≦1)ようにする。また、代表的な組成はX=0.5の場合、つまり、Si:Ge=1:1となる場合である。非特許文献1には、250~300mVのしきい値電圧の低減が報告されている。 As a result, the threshold voltage can be reduced by forming the SiGe channel instead of the Si channel. In order to significantly reduce the threshold voltage, Ge is contained in an amount of more than 10% (0.1 <x ≦ 1). A typical composition is when X = 0.5, that is, when Si: Ge = 1: 1. Non-Patent Document 1 reports a reduction in threshold voltage of 250 to 300 mV.
 しかしながら、前記のようにチャネル部をSi1-x Ge(0.1<x≦1)からなる領域に構成する方法を用いてしきい値電圧制御を行った場合、基板リーク電流が増大するという問題が発生する。よって、その解決が課題となっている。 However, when threshold voltage control is performed using a method in which the channel portion is formed in a region made of Si 1-x Ge x (0.1 <x ≦ 1) as described above, the substrate leakage current increases. The problem occurs. Therefore, the solution is an issue.
 以上に鑑み、SiGeチャネル構造を有するP型FETにおいて、基板リーク電流の増大を抑制することが可能なトランジスタとその製造方法とについて以下に説明する。 In view of the above, a transistor capable of suppressing an increase in substrate leakage current in a P-type FET having a SiGe channel structure and a manufacturing method thereof will be described below.
 前記の目的を達成するため、本願発明者は、非特許文献1の方法によってしきい値電圧を制御する場合に基板リーク電流が増大する理由について検討した。 In order to achieve the above object, the present inventor examined the reason why the substrate leakage current increases when the threshold voltage is controlled by the method of Non-Patent Document 1.
 まず、FETにおいて、ゲート電極下方のチャネル部をSiGeによって構成すると、FETが有する拡散層(ソース・ドレイン領域、エクステンション領域等)についてもSiGeからなるものとして形成されることになる。 First, in the FET, when the channel portion below the gate electrode is made of SiGe, the diffusion layer (source / drain region, extension region, etc.) of the FET is also formed of SiGe.
 また、基板リーク電流は、拡散層領域と、チャネル部を含むウェル領域とによって形成されるPN接合に対し、逆バイアスが加えられた場合に発生するリーク電流である。その大きさは、PN接合部におけるエネルギーバンドギャップの大きさに依存し、エネルギーバンドギャップが小さいほど増大する。 The substrate leakage current is a leakage current generated when a reverse bias is applied to the PN junction formed by the diffusion layer region and the well region including the channel portion. The size depends on the size of the energy band gap at the PN junction, and increases as the energy band gap decreases.
 よって、SiGeチャネルを形成した場合、Siチャネルの場合に比べた基板リーク電流の増大の程度は、PN接合部におけるエネルギーバンドギャップの大きさに依存し、更には、Geの組成比xに依存することになる。 Therefore, when the SiGe channel is formed, the degree of increase in the substrate leakage current compared with the case of the Si channel depends on the size of the energy band gap at the PN junction, and further depends on the composition ratio x of Ge. It will be.
 そこで、本願発明者は、拡散層領域とウェル領域とによって形成されるPN接合部におけるSi濃度(含有率)を、チャネル部に比べて高くすることにより、しきい値電圧を低減すると共に基板リーク電流の増大を抑制することを考案した。 Therefore, the inventor of the present application reduces the threshold voltage and increases the substrate leakage by increasing the Si concentration (content ratio) in the PN junction portion formed by the diffusion layer region and the well region as compared with the channel portion. It was devised to suppress the increase in current.
 具体的に、本開示に係る半導体装置は、Geを含む第1導電型の第1の半導体領域と、第1の半導体領域上にゲート絶縁膜を介して形成されたゲート電極と、第1の半導体領域におけるゲート電極の両側方に形成された第2導電型の拡散領域と、第1の半導体領域と拡散領域との間に形成された第1導電型の第2の半導体領域とを備え、第2の半導体領域は、第1の半導体領域におけるゲート電極下方のチャネル形成領域よりも高い濃度のSiを含有する。 Specifically, a semiconductor device according to the present disclosure includes a first conductive type first semiconductor region containing Ge, a gate electrode formed on the first semiconductor region with a gate insulating film interposed therebetween, A second conductivity type diffusion region formed on both sides of the gate electrode in the semiconductor region; and a first conductivity type second semiconductor region formed between the first semiconductor region and the diffusion region; The second semiconductor region contains a higher concentration of Si than the channel formation region below the gate electrode in the first semiconductor region.
 このような半導体装置によると、Geを含む第1の半導体領域にチャネルが形成されることによりしきい値電圧を制御(低減)しながら、PN接合の部分においてチャネル形成領域よりもSi濃度が高くなっている(言い換えると、Ge濃度が低くなっている)ことにより、基板リーク電流の増大を抑制することができる。 According to such a semiconductor device, the Si concentration is higher in the PN junction portion than in the channel formation region while the threshold voltage is controlled (reduced) by forming a channel in the first semiconductor region containing Ge. As a result (in other words, the Ge concentration is low), an increase in substrate leakage current can be suppressed.
 尚、第1の半導体領域はN型であり、拡散領域はP型であることが好ましい。 Note that the first semiconductor region is preferably N-type and the diffusion region is preferably P-type.
 Geを含むチャネル(SiGeチャネル)とすることによるしきい値電圧の低減は、P型FETにおいて特に有用である。よって、第1の半導体領域がN型不純物を含むことによりN型となっており、拡散領域がP型不純物を含むことによりP型となっている場合に、本開示の半導体装置の効果が顕著に得られる。 Reduction of the threshold voltage by using a channel containing Ge (SiGe channel) is particularly useful in a P-type FET. Therefore, when the first semiconductor region is N-type by including N-type impurities and the diffusion region is P-type by including P-type impurities, the effect of the semiconductor device of the present disclosure is remarkable. Is obtained.
 また、拡散領域は、ボロン及びインジウムの少なくとも一方を不純物として含有することが好ましい。また、第1の半導体領域は、ヒ素及びリンの少なくとも一方を不純物として含有することが好ましい。各領域に含まれる不純物として、このような元素を用いることができる。 The diffusion region preferably contains at least one of boron and indium as an impurity. The first semiconductor region preferably contains at least one of arsenic and phosphorus as an impurity. Such an element can be used as an impurity contained in each region.
 また、拡散領域は、ソース・ドレイン領域及びエクステンション領域の少なくとも一方であることが好ましい。 The diffusion region is preferably at least one of a source / drain region and an extension region.
 基板リーク電流が発生する箇所の例としては、ソース・ドレイン領域及びエクステンション領域の底部及び側部のPN接合が挙げられる。よって、拡散領域がソース・ドレイン領域及びエクステンション領域のいずれか一方又は両方であるようにすると、基板リーク電流を抑制することができる。 Examples of locations where substrate leakage current occurs include the PN junctions at the bottom and sides of the source / drain regions and extension regions. Therefore, if the diffusion region is one or both of the source / drain region and the extension region, the substrate leakage current can be suppressed.
 また、第2の半導体領域は、第1の半導体領域と拡散領域との間の全体に形成されていても良い。また、第2の半導体領域は、前記第1の半導体領域と前記拡散領域との間の一部に形成されていても良い。 Further, the second semiconductor region may be formed entirely between the first semiconductor region and the diffusion region. The second semiconductor region may be formed in a part between the first semiconductor region and the diffusion region.
 つまり、基板リーク電流が発生するPN接合の全体についてSi濃度を高くするのであっても良いし、特に基板リーク電流の多い部分についてSi濃度を高くするのであっても良い。 That is, the Si concentration may be increased for the entire PN junction where the substrate leakage current is generated, or the Si concentration may be increased particularly for a portion where the substrate leakage current is large.
 このように、個々の半導体装置の特性等に合わせて適切な箇所に第2の半導体領域を配置することにより、基板リーク電流を抑制することができる。 Thus, the substrate leakage current can be suppressed by disposing the second semiconductor region at an appropriate location in accordance with the characteristics of each semiconductor device.
 また、第2の半導体領域及びチャネル形成領域は、いずれもSi1-x Ge(0<x≦1)からなり、第2の半導体領域におけるxは、チャネル領域におけるxよりも0.1以上小さいことが好ましい。 Each of the second semiconductor region and the channel formation region is made of Si 1-x Ge x (0 <x ≦ 1), and x in the second semiconductor region is 0.1 or more than x in the channel region. Small is preferable.
 Si1-x Ge(0<x≦1)において、Geの組成比であるxが小さいほどSiの濃度が高いのであるから、第2の半導体領域においてxが小さいことが求められる。特に、0.1以上小さい場合に、基板リーク電流を抑制する効果がより確実に得られる。 In Si 1-x Ge x (0 <x ≦ 1), the smaller the x, which is the Ge composition ratio, the higher the Si concentration. Therefore, it is required that x is small in the second semiconductor region. In particular, when it is smaller than 0.1, the effect of suppressing the substrate leakage current can be obtained more reliably.
 前記の目的を達成するため、本開示に係る半導体装置の製造方法は、基板上に、Geを含む第1導電型の第1の半導体領域を形成する工程(a)と、第1の半導体領域上に、ゲート絶縁膜を介してゲート電極を形成する工程(b)と、第1の半導体領域におけるゲート電極の両側方に、第2導電型の拡散領域を形成する工程(c)と、第1の半導体領域におけるゲート電極の両側方に、第1導電型の第2の半導体領域を形成する工程(d)とを備え、第2の半導体領域は、少なくとも第1の半導体領域と拡散領域との間に位置していると共に、第1の半導体領域におけるゲート電極下方のチャネル形成領域よりも高い濃度のSiを含有する。 In order to achieve the above object, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present disclosure includes a step (a) of forming a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type containing Ge on a substrate, and a first semiconductor region. A step (b) of forming a gate electrode via a gate insulating film, a step (c) of forming a second conductivity type diffusion region on both sides of the gate electrode in the first semiconductor region, A step (d) of forming a second semiconductor region of the first conductivity type on both sides of the gate electrode in the one semiconductor region, wherein the second semiconductor region includes at least the first semiconductor region and the diffusion region. And a higher concentration of Si than the channel formation region below the gate electrode in the first semiconductor region.
 本開示の半導体装置の製造方法によると、本開示の半導体装置を製造することができる。つまり、Geを含むチャネル形成領域を備えることによりしきい値電圧を低減しながら、PN接合の部分においてSi濃度が高くなっていることにより基板リーク電流が抑制された半導体装置を製造することができる。 According to the semiconductor device manufacturing method of the present disclosure, the semiconductor device of the present disclosure can be manufactured. That is, it is possible to manufacture a semiconductor device in which the substrate leakage current is suppressed due to the high Si concentration in the PN junction portion while reducing the threshold voltage by providing the channel formation region containing Ge. .
 尚、拡散領域は、ソース・ドレイン領域及びエクステンション領域の少なくとも一方であることが好ましい。また、拡散領域は、ボロン及びインジウムの少なくとも一方をイオン注入することにより形成されることが好ましい。具体的な拡散領域として、このようになっていても良い。 The diffusion region is preferably at least one of a source / drain region and an extension region. The diffusion region is preferably formed by ion implantation of at least one of boron and indium. A specific diffusion region may be as described above.
 また、第2の半導体領域は、Siイオンの注入により形成しても良い。 Further, the second semiconductor region may be formed by Si ion implantation.
 チャネル形成領域よりもSi濃度が高い第2の半導体領域を形成するために、このようにしても良い。 This may be done in order to form the second semiconductor region having a higher Si concentration than the channel formation region.
 Si1-x Ge(0.1<x≦1)からなる領域にチャネルを形成することによりしきい値電圧を制御(低減)しながら、基板リーク電流が発生するPN接合部分のSi濃度を高くすることにより基板リーク電流を抑制することができる。 While controlling (reducing) the threshold voltage by forming a channel in a region composed of Si 1-x Ge x (0.1 <x ≦ 1), the Si concentration of the PN junction portion where the substrate leakage current is generated is controlled. Increasing the thickness can suppress the substrate leakage current.

  (第1の実施形態)
 以下、第1の実施形態における例示的半導体装置150について、その要部断面を模式的に示す図である図1を参照しながら説明する。
(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, an exemplary semiconductor device 150 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
 図1に示すように、半導体装置150は、シリコンからなる半導体基板100を用いて形成されており、P型FET構造を有する。半導体基板100上には、Si1-x Ge(0<x≦1)からなる第1の半導体領域101が形成されている。第1の半導体領域101は、膜厚が例えば90nmであり、リン、ヒ素等のN型不純物(ウェル形成、しきい値電圧制御用のチャネル不純物)を含むことによりN型になっている。第1の半導体領域101の上には、ゲート絶縁膜121を介してゲート電極122が形成されている。また、ゲート電極122及びゲート絶縁膜121の両側面を覆うように、シリコン酸化膜からなるサイドウォールスペーサー106が形成されている。尚、ゲート絶縁膜121は、酸化膜102上に、高誘電率絶縁膜103が積層された構造である。また、ゲート電極122は、金属を含む材料からなるメタルゲート電極、例えば窒化チタン膜104の上に、ポリシリコン、アモルファスシリコン等のシリコン膜105が積層された構造である。 As shown in FIG. 1, the semiconductor device 150 is formed using a semiconductor substrate 100 made of silicon and has a P-type FET structure. On the semiconductor substrate 100, a first semiconductor region 101 made of Si 1-x Ge x (0 <x ≦ 1) is formed. The first semiconductor region 101 has a film thickness of, for example, 90 nm, and is N-type by including N-type impurities (channel impurities for well formation and threshold voltage control) such as phosphorus and arsenic. A gate electrode 122 is formed on the first semiconductor region 101 with a gate insulating film 121 interposed therebetween. A sidewall spacer 106 made of a silicon oxide film is formed so as to cover both side surfaces of the gate electrode 122 and the gate insulating film 121. The gate insulating film 121 has a structure in which the high dielectric constant insulating film 103 is stacked on the oxide film 102. In addition, the gate electrode 122 has a structure in which a silicon film 105 such as polysilicon or amorphous silicon is stacked on a metal gate electrode made of a material containing metal, for example, a titanium nitride film 104.
 第1の半導体領域101におけるゲート電極122の両側方には、エクステンション領域107が形成されている。エクステンション領域107は、P型不純物であるボロンを含むことによりP型であり、深さは15nm程度である。 Extension regions 107 are formed on both sides of the gate electrode 122 in the first semiconductor region 101. The extension region 107 is P-type by including boron, which is a P-type impurity, and has a depth of about 15 nm.
 更に、エクステンション領域107の外側には、P型のソース・ドレイン領域109(ソース領域及びドレイン領域を合わせてこのように呼ぶ)が接合深さ60nm程度に形成されている。 Further, outside the extension region 107, a P-type source / drain region 109 (referred to as the source region and the drain region together) is formed with a junction depth of about 60 nm.
 また、エクステンション領域107と第1の半導体領域101との間に、エクステンション領域107を覆うように、N型の第2の半導体領域108が形成されている。第2の半導体領域108の深さは20nm程度であり、エクステンション領域107に対して5nm程度外側に形成されている。 Further, an N-type second semiconductor region 108 is formed between the extension region 107 and the first semiconductor region 101 so as to cover the extension region 107. The depth of the second semiconductor region 108 is about 20 nm, and is formed outside the extension region 107 by about 5 nm.
 ここで、第1の半導体領域101を構成するSi1-x Ge(0<x≦1)について、例えば、X=0.5(つまり、Geが50%)であってもよい。 Here, for Si 1-x Ge x (0 <x ≦ 1) constituting the first semiconductor region 101, for example, X = 0.5 (that is, Ge is 50%) may be used.
 半導体装置150に構成されたP型FETが動作する際には、ゲート電極122下方における第1の半導体領域101の部分にチャネルが形成される。チャネル形成領域がGeを含むことにより、Siチャネルの場合に比べてしきい値電圧が低減している。 When the P-type FET configured in the semiconductor device 150 operates, a channel is formed in the portion of the first semiconductor region 101 below the gate electrode 122. Since the channel formation region contains Ge, the threshold voltage is reduced as compared with the case of the Si channel.
 尚、少しでもGeが含まれていればしきい値電圧は低減されるが、実質的に低減の効果を得るためには、10%程度は含まれていることが好ましい。また、Siを含まず、Geのみとなっていても構わない。つまり、0.1<x≦1を満たすことが好ましい。 It should be noted that the threshold voltage is reduced if even a little Ge is included, but it is preferable that about 10% is included in order to obtain a substantial reduction effect. Moreover, Si may not be included but only Ge may be sufficient. That is, it is preferable to satisfy 0.1 <x ≦ 1.
 このようなチャネル形成領域に比べて、第2の半導体領域108におけるSi濃度が高くなっている。具体的には、例えば、Si濃度が50%(Geの組成比によって記すとx=0.5)であるチャネル形成領域に対して、第2の半導体領域108のSi濃度は75%(Geの組成比によって記すとx=0.25)である。 The Si concentration in the second semiconductor region 108 is higher than that in such a channel formation region. Specifically, for example, the Si concentration of the second semiconductor region 108 is 75% (Ge concentration) with respect to a channel formation region where the Si concentration is 50% (x = 0.5 in terms of the Ge composition ratio). In terms of composition ratio, x = 0.25).
 このように、エクステンション領域107の底部及び側部のPN接合部は、第2の半導体領域108が形成されていることにより、チャネル形成領域に比べてSi濃度が高く(言い換えると、Ge濃度が低く)なっている。この結果、エクステンション領域107のPN接合部において発生する基板リーク電流を約一桁低減することができる。 Thus, the bottom and side PN junctions of the extension region 107 have a higher Si concentration (in other words, a lower Ge concentration) than the channel formation region because the second semiconductor region 108 is formed. It has become. As a result, the substrate leakage current generated at the PN junction in the extension region 107 can be reduced by about one digit.
 尚、チャネル形成領域(第1の半導体領域101)においてx=0.5の場合(Si濃度では50%の場合)を一例として説明したが、これには限らない。0<x≦1の範囲におけるいずれの値である場合にも、チャネル形成領域に比べてPN接合部分(第2の半導体領域108)におけるSi濃度が高くなっていれば、基板リーク電流を低減することができる。 Although the case where x = 0.5 in the channel formation region (first semiconductor region 101) (the Si concentration is 50%) has been described as an example, the present invention is not limited thereto. When any value in the range of 0 <x ≦ 1, if the Si concentration in the PN junction portion (second semiconductor region 108) is higher than that in the channel formation region, the substrate leakage current is reduced. be able to.
 また、第2の半導体領域108のSi濃度がチャネル形成領域に比べて25%高くなっている(Ge組成比xが0.25小さくなっている)例を説明したが、これには限らない。Si濃度の差がより小さい場合にも基板リーク電流は低減される。但し、第2の半導体領域108がチャネル形成領域に比べて10%以上高いSi濃度(xが0.1以上小さいGe組成)を有していると、有意に基板リーク電流を抑制することができ、望ましい。チャネル形成領域のSi濃度が50%である場合、第2の半導体領域108のSi濃度を60%~100%とすることにより、基板リーク電流は3分の1~100分の1程度に低減される。 In addition, an example in which the Si concentration of the second semiconductor region 108 is 25% higher than that of the channel formation region (Ge composition ratio x is 0.25 smaller) has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The substrate leakage current is also reduced when the difference in Si concentration is smaller. However, if the second semiconductor region 108 has a Si concentration 10% or more higher than that of the channel formation region (x is a Ge composition smaller than 0.1 or more), the substrate leakage current can be significantly suppressed. ,desirable. When the Si concentration in the channel formation region is 50%, the substrate leakage current is reduced to about 1/3 to 1/100 by setting the Si concentration in the second semiconductor region 108 to 60% to 100%. The
 また、以上の例の場合、Si濃度の高い第2の半導体領域108は、エクステンション領域107の全体を覆うように(エクステンション領域107と第1の半導体領域101の間の全体に位置するように)形成されている。しかしながら、これには限らない。重要なのは、基板リーク電流の多く発生するPN接合部についてSi濃度を高めることである。このため、エクステンション領域107の側面部(チャネル形成領域側の部分)において基板リーク電流が多く発生するのであれば、エクステンション領域107の側面とチャネル形成領域(ゲート電極122下方の第1の半導体領域101)との間に第2の半導体領域108を形成する。同様に、エクステンション領域107の底部において基板リーク電流が多く発生するのであれば、この部分に第2の半導体領域108を形成する。これにより、基板リーク電流を抑制することができる。 In the case of the above example, the second semiconductor region 108 having a high Si concentration covers the entire extension region 107 (so as to be positioned between the extension region 107 and the first semiconductor region 101). Is formed. However, this is not restrictive. What is important is to increase the Si concentration at the PN junction where a large amount of substrate leakage current occurs. For this reason, if a large amount of substrate leakage current occurs in the side surface portion (the channel forming region side portion) of the extension region 107, the side surface of the extension region 107 and the channel forming region (the first semiconductor region 101 below the gate electrode 122). ) Between the first semiconductor region 108 and the second semiconductor region 108. Similarly, if a large amount of substrate leakage current occurs at the bottom of the extension region 107, the second semiconductor region 108 is formed in this portion. Thereby, a substrate leakage current can be suppressed.
 また、第1の半導体領域101の厚さが90nm程度である場合を説明したが、これには限らない。エクステンション領域107の一部分でもGeを含む第1の半導体領域101とのPN接合を有していると、該PN接合部において基板リーク電流が増大する。これを抑制するために、Si濃度の高い第2の半導体領域108を設ける。従って、第1の半導体領域101がエクステンション領域107よりも薄い場合にも、基板リーク電流を低減する効果を得ることはできる。 Further, although the case where the thickness of the first semiconductor region 101 is about 90 nm has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. If a part of the extension region 107 has a PN junction with the first semiconductor region 101 containing Ge, the substrate leakage current increases at the PN junction. In order to suppress this, the second semiconductor region 108 having a high Si concentration is provided. Therefore, even when the first semiconductor region 101 is thinner than the extension region 107, the effect of reducing the substrate leakage current can be obtained.
 また、以上では、Geを含む第1の半導体領域101上に酸化膜102が形成されている例を説明した。しかし、これには限らない。例えば、第1の半導体領域101上にSi層を形成し、その上に酸化膜102を形成することもできる。これにより、Siキャップ付きのSiGeチャネルを有するP型FET構造とすることができる。 In the above description, the example in which the oxide film 102 is formed on the first semiconductor region 101 containing Ge has been described. However, it is not limited to this. For example, a Si layer can be formed on the first semiconductor region 101, and the oxide film 102 can be formed thereon. Thereby, it can be set as the P-type FET structure which has a SiGe channel with a Si cap.
 また、以上では、エクステンション領域107に対して5nm程度外側まで第2の半導体領域108が設けられているが、この値には限らず、エクステンション領域107を覆うように第2の半導体領域108を設けることが要点である。 In the above description, the second semiconductor region 108 is provided to the outside of the extension region 107 by about 5 nm. However, the present invention is not limited to this value, and the second semiconductor region 108 is provided so as to cover the extension region 107. That is the main point.
 次に、本実施形態における例示的半導体装置150の製造方法について、その工程を示す図2(a)~(c)及び図3(a)~(c)を参照して説明する。 Next, a method for manufacturing the exemplary semiconductor device 150 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2C and FIGS. 3A to 3C showing the steps.
 まず、図2(a)に示すように、シリコンからなる半導体基板100上に、第1の半導体領域101を膜厚90nmに堆積する。第1の半導体領域101は、Si1-x GeにおいてGe組成比x=0.5(Si濃度として記せば50%)であるSiGe層とする。このためには、CVD(chemical vapor deposition)法を用いてシリコンからなる半導体基板100上にエピタキシャル成長しても良い。この際の条件としては、Si系ガスにSiH、Ge系ガスにGeHを用い、堆積温度を500℃、ガス圧を20Torr(2666Pa)とする。また、ウェル形成及びしきい値電圧制御のため、第1の半導体領域101は、リン、ヒ素等のN型不純物を含有させてN型の層として形成する。 First, as shown in FIG. 2A, a first semiconductor region 101 is deposited to a thickness of 90 nm on a semiconductor substrate 100 made of silicon. The first semiconductor region 101 is a SiGe layer having a Ge composition ratio x = 0.5 (50% in terms of Si concentration) in Si 1-x Ge x . For this purpose, epitaxial growth may be performed on the semiconductor substrate 100 made of silicon using a CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method. As the conditions for using a GeH 4 to SiH 4, Ge-based gas to Si-based gas, the deposition temperature 500 ° C., the gas pressure and 20 Torr (2666 Pa). Further, for well formation and threshold voltage control, the first semiconductor region 101 is formed as an N-type layer by containing an N-type impurity such as phosphorus or arsenic.
 次に、図2(b)に示すように、第1の半導体領域101上に、ゲート絶縁膜121を介してゲート電極122を形成する。このためには、まず、第1の半導体領域101表面のSiGeをオゾンにより酸化させることにより、膜厚1nmの酸化膜102を形成する。次に、該酸化膜102上に、例えばハフニウムを含む膜厚2nmの高誘電率絶縁膜103を堆積する。続いて、高誘電率絶縁膜103上に、メタルゲートとして膜厚10nmの窒化チタン膜104を堆積し、更にその上に、膜厚100nmのシリコン膜105を堆積する。この後、レジストパターニング、ゲートドライエッチング等を行なうことにより、図2(b)に示す酸化膜102と高誘電率絶縁膜103からなるゲート絶縁膜121及び窒化チタン膜104とシリコン膜105からなるゲート電極122の構造を得る。 Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, a gate electrode 122 is formed on the first semiconductor region 101 with a gate insulating film 121 interposed therebetween. For this purpose, first, SiGe on the surface of the first semiconductor region 101 is oxidized with ozone to form an oxide film 102 having a thickness of 1 nm. Next, a high dielectric constant insulating film 103 having a thickness of 2 nm containing hafnium, for example, is deposited on the oxide film 102. Subsequently, a titanium nitride film 104 having a thickness of 10 nm is deposited on the high dielectric constant insulating film 103 as a metal gate, and a silicon film 105 having a thickness of 100 nm is further deposited thereon. Thereafter, by performing resist patterning, gate dry etching, etc., the gate insulating film 121 made of the oxide film 102 and the high dielectric constant insulating film 103 and the gate made of the titanium nitride film 104 and the silicon film 105 shown in FIG. The structure of the electrode 122 is obtained.
 次に、図2(c)に示すように、半導体装置150製造における特徴となるSiの注入を行なう。具体的には、加速エネルギー15keV、注入ドーズ量3×1016atoms/cm2の条件により、ゲート電極122をマスクとしてSiのイオン注入を行なう。これにより、第1の半導体領域101におけるゲート電極122の両側方に、表面から深さ20nm程度のSi濃度が25%増加して75%となった(Ge濃度が25%に低減した)N型の第2の半導体領域108が形成される。 Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, Si is implanted which is a feature of the semiconductor device 150 manufacture. Specifically, Si ions are implanted using the gate electrode 122 as a mask under conditions of an acceleration energy of 15 keV and an implantation dose of 3 × 10 16 atoms / cm 2 . As a result, on both sides of the gate electrode 122 in the first semiconductor region 101, the Si concentration about 20 nm deep from the surface increased by 25% to 75% (Ge concentration decreased to 25%). The second semiconductor region 108 is formed.
 尚、イオン注入の際、Siはゲート電極122の下方にも回り込む。但し、回り込み両、つまりゲート電極122下方へのオーバーラップ量は、深さに比べて小さく、10nm以下である。 In addition, during ion implantation, Si also goes below the gate electrode 122. However, the amount of overlap between the wraparound, that is, the lower part of the gate electrode 122 is smaller than the depth and is 10 nm or less.
 次に、図3(a)に示すように、エクステンション注入を行なう。具体的には、注入する不純物としてボロンを用い、加速エネルギー0.3keV、注入ドーズ量5×1014atoms/cm2の条件によりゲート電極122をマスクとしてイオン注入を行なう。これにより、第1の半導体領域101におけるゲート電極122の両側方にP型のエクステンション領域107を形成する。注入直後の接合深さは10nm以下と非常に浅いが、後述する活性化アニールによりボロンが拡散し、最終的な接合深さは15nm程度となる。このため、エクステンション領域107は、深さが20nm程度である第2の半導体領域108よりも5nm浅く形成されることになる。 Next, extension injection is performed as shown in FIG. Specifically, boron is used as an impurity to be implanted, and ion implantation is performed using the gate electrode 122 as a mask under conditions of an acceleration energy of 0.3 keV and an implantation dose of 5 × 10 14 atoms / cm 2 . Thus, P-type extension regions 107 are formed on both sides of the gate electrode 122 in the first semiconductor region 101. The junction depth immediately after the implantation is very shallow at 10 nm or less, but boron is diffused by activation annealing described later, and the final junction depth is about 15 nm. Therefore, the extension region 107 is formed 5 nm shallower than the second semiconductor region 108 having a depth of about 20 nm.
 次に、図3(b)に示すように、ゲート電極122及びゲート絶縁膜121の側面を覆うサイドウォールスペーサー106を形成する。このためには、エクステンション領域107を形成した後、半導体基板100上に膜厚70nm程度のシリコン酸化膜を堆積する。続いて、ドライエッチングにより全面エッチバックを行なうことにより、ゲート電極122の側面上に幅70nm程度のシリコン酸化膜からなるサイドウォールスペーサー106を形成する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, sidewall spacers 106 that cover the side surfaces of the gate electrode 122 and the gate insulating film 121 are formed. For this purpose, after the extension region 107 is formed, a silicon oxide film having a thickness of about 70 nm is deposited on the semiconductor substrate 100. Subsequently, the entire surface is etched back by dry etching to form a sidewall spacer 106 made of a silicon oxide film having a width of about 70 nm on the side surface of the gate electrode 122.
 次に、図3(c)に示すように、ソース・ドレイン領域109を形成する。このために、不純物としてボロンを用い、加速エネルギー1.5keV、注入ドーズ量4×1015atoms/cm2の条件により、ゲート電極122及びサイドウォールスペーサー106をマスクとしてイオン注入を行なう。これにより、第1の半導体領域101におけるサイドウォールスペーサー106の外側方の部分にP型のソース・ドレイン領域109が形成される。続いて、1000℃、0秒(目標到達温度に達した後、直ちに降温する)の条件のスパイクアニールを行なうことにより、エクステンション領域107及びソース・ドレイン領域109の不純物を活性化させる。このアニールにより、接合深さ60nmのソース・ドレイン領域109が形成される。 Next, as shown in FIG. 3C, source / drain regions 109 are formed. For this purpose, boron is used as an impurity, and ion implantation is performed using the gate electrode 122 and the sidewall spacer 106 as a mask under conditions of an acceleration energy of 1.5 keV and an implantation dose of 4 × 10 15 atoms / cm 2 . As a result, a P-type source / drain region 109 is formed on the outer side of the sidewall spacer 106 in the first semiconductor region 101. Subsequently, the impurity in the extension region 107 and the source / drain region 109 is activated by performing spike annealing under the conditions of 1000 ° C. and 0 seconds (the temperature immediately decreases after reaching the target temperature). By this annealing, a source / drain region 109 having a junction depth of 60 nm is formed.
 以上により、半導体装置150が製造される。本実施形態の場合、エクステンション領域107を形成する前に、エクステンション領域107が形成される領域を覆うように、Si濃度が高い第2の半導体領域108を形成することを特徴としている。これにより、エクステンション領域107の底部及び側部のPN接合部において発生する基板リーク電流を低減している。本実施形態の例では、チャネル形成領域(第1の半導体領域101)におけるSi濃度50%に対してPN接合部(第2の半導体領域108)におけるSi濃度は75%であり、25%の差があることから、基板リーク電流は一桁程度低減している。 Thus, the semiconductor device 150 is manufactured. In the present embodiment, before the extension region 107 is formed, the second semiconductor region 108 having a high Si concentration is formed so as to cover the region where the extension region 107 is formed. This reduces the substrate leakage current generated at the bottom and side PN junctions of the extension region 107. In the example of the present embodiment, the Si concentration in the PN junction (second semiconductor region 108) is 75% with respect to the Si concentration in the channel formation region (first semiconductor region 101) is 50%, which is a difference of 25%. Therefore, the substrate leakage current is reduced by about an order of magnitude.
 尚、以上に説明したように先に第2の半導体領域108を形成すると、Si注入によるプリアモルファス化によって短チャネル特性を改善する効果が期待できる。しかしながら、以上とは異なる工程順として、先にエクステンション領域107を形成し、その後に第2の半導体領域108を形成することもできる。この場合にも、基板リーク電流を低減する効果は得られる。 As described above, when the second semiconductor region 108 is formed first, an effect of improving short channel characteristics by pre-amorphization by Si implantation can be expected. However, it is also possible to form the extension region 107 first and then form the second semiconductor region 108 as a process order different from the above. Also in this case, the effect of reducing the substrate leakage current can be obtained.
 また、Si1-x Ge(0<x≦1)層である第1の半導体領域101の形成条件、Siイオンの注入条件、エクステンション領域107の注入条件、サイドウォールスペーサー106の形成条件、ソース・ドレイン領域109の注入条件、活性化アニールの条件等について、いずれも例示するものであって、上記の記載には限定されない。 Also, the formation conditions of the first semiconductor region 101 that is the Si 1-x Ge x (0 <x ≦ 1) layer, the Si ion implantation conditions, the extension region 107 implantation conditions, the sidewall spacer 106 formation conditions, and the source -The drain region 109 implantation conditions, activation annealing conditions, etc. are all illustrated, and are not limited to the above description.
 また、以上の説明では、Si濃度の高い第2の半導体領域108は、エクステンション領域107の全体を覆うように形成している。しかし、基板リーク電流の発生箇所に合わせて配置しても良い。エクステンション領域107の側面部(チャネル形成領域の側)において基板リーク電流が多く発生するのであれば、Si注入時に角度注入を行なってゲート電極122の下方に対する第2の半導体領域108のオーバーラップ量を増加させることもできる。これにより、エクステンション領域107の側面部におけるSi濃度を増大させることができる。また、エクステンション領域107の底部において基板リーク電流が多く発生するのであれば、Si注入時の加速エネルギーをより大きくすることにより、特にエクステンション領域107の底部にSi濃度の高い領域を形成しても良い。 In the above description, the second semiconductor region 108 having a high Si concentration is formed so as to cover the entire extension region 107. However, you may arrange | position according to the generation | occurrence | production location of a board | substrate leak current. If a large amount of substrate leakage current is generated in the side surface portion (channel forming region side) of the extension region 107, angle implantation is performed during Si implantation so that the amount of overlap of the second semiconductor region 108 below the gate electrode 122 is reduced. It can also be increased. Thereby, the Si concentration in the side surface portion of the extension region 107 can be increased. If a large amount of substrate leakage current is generated at the bottom of the extension region 107, a region having a high Si concentration may be formed particularly at the bottom of the extension region 107 by increasing the acceleration energy during Si implantation. .
 また、図2(a)の工程の後、図2(b)に示す酸化膜102を形成する間に、第1の半導体領域101上に膜厚2nm程度のSiキャップ層を堆積するようにしても良い。これにより、酸化膜102の品質を向上することができる。 Further, after the step of FIG. 2A, an Si cap layer having a thickness of about 2 nm is deposited on the first semiconductor region 101 while the oxide film 102 shown in FIG. 2B is formed. Also good. Thereby, the quality of the oxide film 102 can be improved.
  (第2の実施形態)
 以下、第2の実施形態における例示的半導体装置151について、その要部断面を模式的に示す図である図4を参照しながら説明する。ここで、半導体装置151の構成のうち、第1の実施形態の半導体装置150と共通の部分については同じ符号を用いることにより詳しい説明を省略し、相違点を主に説明する。
(Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, an exemplary semiconductor device 151 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 4 which is a diagram schematically showing a cross-section of the main part thereof. Here, in the configuration of the semiconductor device 151, parts common to the semiconductor device 150 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted, and differences are mainly described.
 第1の実施形態の半導体装置150の場合、P型のエクステンション領域107を覆うように、Si濃度がチャネル形成領域に比べて高いN型の第2の半導体領域108を有している。これに対し、本実施形態の半導体装置151の場合には、P型のソース・ドレイン領域109を覆うように、Si濃度がチャネル形成領域に比べて高いN型の第2の半導体領域128が形成されている。 The semiconductor device 150 according to the first embodiment includes the N-type second semiconductor region 108 having a higher Si concentration than the channel formation region so as to cover the P-type extension region 107. In contrast, in the case of the semiconductor device 151 of the present embodiment, the N-type second semiconductor region 128 having a higher Si concentration than the channel formation region is formed so as to cover the P-type source / drain region 109. Has been.
 ここで、ソース・ドレイン領域109の深さは60nm程度、第2の半導体領域128の深さは70nm程度である。また、第1の実施形態と同様、チャネル形成領域(ゲート電極122下方の第1の半導体領域101)においてSi濃度は50%である。第2の半導体領域128のSi濃度は75%である。 Here, the depth of the source / drain region 109 is about 60 nm, and the depth of the second semiconductor region 128 is about 70 nm. Further, similarly to the first embodiment, the Si concentration is 50% in the channel formation region (the first semiconductor region 101 below the gate electrode 122). The Si concentration of the second semiconductor region 128 is 75%.
 このような構成により、本実施形態の半導体装置151において、ソース・ドレイン領域109の底部及び側部のPN接合部(ソース・ドレイン領域109と、ウェル及びチャネル形成領域とのPN接合部)における基板リーク電流を抑制することができる。 With such a configuration, in the semiconductor device 151 of the present embodiment, the substrate at the PN junction at the bottom and sides of the source / drain region 109 (PN junction between the source / drain region 109 and the well and channel formation region). Leakage current can be suppressed.
 尚、ソース・ドレイン領域109全体を第2の半導体領域128が覆うことは必須ではなく、基板リーク電流が多く発生する箇所のみに第2の半導体領域を設けても良い。例えば、ソース・ドレイン領域109の底部のみ又は側部のみに設けることもできる。 Note that it is not essential for the second semiconductor region 128 to cover the entire source / drain region 109, and the second semiconductor region may be provided only at a location where a large substrate leakage current occurs. For example, the source / drain region 109 may be provided only at the bottom or only at the side.
 また、エクステンション領域107及びソース・ドレイン領域109の両方を覆うように、Si濃度の高い領域を設けても良い。つまり、第1の実施形態における第2の半導体領域108と、第2の実施形態における第2の半導体領域128とを両方備えるような半導体装置としても良い。この場合、エクステンション領域107及びソース・ドレイン領域109の両方について、PN接合部における基板リーク電流を低減することができる。 Further, a region having a high Si concentration may be provided so as to cover both the extension region 107 and the source / drain region 109. In other words, the semiconductor device may include both the second semiconductor region 108 in the first embodiment and the second semiconductor region 128 in the second embodiment. In this case, the substrate leakage current at the PN junction can be reduced for both the extension region 107 and the source / drain region 109.
 また、チャネル形成領域に比べて第2の半導体領域128のSi濃度を25%高くしているが、これは必須ではない。Si濃度を10%高くする(チャネル形成領域においてSiが50%であるのに対し、第2の半導体領域128においてSiを60%とする)だけでも、基板リーク電流を3分の1程度に抑制することができる。 Further, the Si concentration of the second semiconductor region 128 is increased by 25% compared to the channel formation region, but this is not essential. Even if the Si concentration is increased by 10% (Si is 50% in the channel formation region, while Si is 60% in the second semiconductor region 128), the substrate leakage current is suppressed to about one third. can do.
 また、第1の半導体領域101の厚さが90nmであること、第2の半導体領域128がソース・ドレイン領域109から10nm外側にまで形成されていること等についても例示であって、これらに限定されることはない。 Further, the thickness of the first semiconductor region 101 is 90 nm, the second semiconductor region 128 is formed from the source / drain region 109 to the outside of 10 nm, and the like. It will never be done.
 次に、本実施形態における例示的半導体装置151の製造方法について、その工程を示す図5(a)~(c)及び図6(a)~(c)を参照して説明する。 Next, a method for manufacturing the exemplary semiconductor device 151 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5C and FIGS. 6A to 6C showing the steps.
 図5(a)及び(b)の工程は、第1の実施形態において説明した図2(a)及び(b)の工程と同様である。これらの工程により、シリコンからなる半導体基板100上にSiGe(Ge組成50%)からなる第1の半導体領域101が形成される。また、その上に、酸化膜102及び高誘電率絶縁膜103の積層されたゲート絶縁膜121を介して、窒化チタン膜104及びシリコン膜105の積層されたゲート電極122が形成される。 5A and 5B are the same as the steps of FIGS. 2A and 2B described in the first embodiment. By these steps, the first semiconductor region 101 made of SiGe (Ge composition 50%) is formed on the semiconductor substrate 100 made of silicon. Further, a gate electrode 122 in which the titanium nitride film 104 and the silicon film 105 are stacked is formed thereon via a gate insulating film 121 in which the oxide film 102 and the high dielectric constant insulating film 103 are stacked.
 この後、図5(c)のように、エクステンション領域107を形成する。このためには、不純物としてボロンを用い、加速エネルギー0.3keV、注入ドーズ量5×1014atoms/cm2の条件によりゲート電極122をマスクとしてイオン注入を行なう。これにより、第1の半導体領域101におけるゲート電極122の両側方にエクステンション領域107が形成される。注入直後の接合深さは10nm以下と非常に浅いが、後述する活性化アニールによりボロンが拡散し、最終的な接合深さは15nm程度となる。 Thereafter, extension regions 107 are formed as shown in FIG. For this purpose, boron is used as an impurity, and ion implantation is performed using the gate electrode 122 as a mask under the conditions of an acceleration energy of 0.3 keV and an implantation dose of 5 × 10 14 atoms / cm 2 . As a result, extension regions 107 are formed on both sides of the gate electrode 122 in the first semiconductor region 101. The junction depth immediately after the implantation is very shallow at 10 nm or less, but boron is diffused by activation annealing described later, and the final junction depth is about 15 nm.
 次に、図6(a)に示すように、ゲート電極122及びゲート絶縁膜121の側面を覆うサイドウォールスペーサー106を形成する。このためには、P型のエクステンション領域107を形成した後、半導体基板100上に膜厚70nm程度のシリコン酸化膜を堆積する。続いて、ドライエッチングにより全面エッチバックを行なうことにより、ゲート電極122の側面上に幅70nm程度のシリコン酸化膜からなるサイドウォールスペーサー106を形成する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 6A, sidewall spacers 106 that cover the side surfaces of the gate electrode 122 and the gate insulating film 121 are formed. For this purpose, a P-type extension region 107 is formed, and then a silicon oxide film having a thickness of about 70 nm is deposited on the semiconductor substrate 100. Subsequently, the entire surface is etched back by dry etching to form a sidewall spacer 106 made of a silicon oxide film having a width of about 70 nm on the side surface of the gate electrode 122.
 次に、図6(b)に示すように、半導体装置151製造における特徴となるSiの注入を行なう。具体的には、加速エネルギー55keV、注入ドーズ量7.2×1016atoms/cm2の条件により、ゲート電極122をマスクとしてSiのイオン注入を行なう。これにより、第1の半導体領域101におけるサイドウォールスペーサー106の外側方に、表面から深さ70nm程度のSi濃度が75%に増加した(Ge濃度が25%に低減した)第2のN型の半導体領域128が形成される。 Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, Si implantation, which is a feature in the manufacture of the semiconductor device 151, is performed. Specifically, Si ions are implanted using the gate electrode 122 as a mask under the conditions of an acceleration energy of 55 keV and an implantation dose of 7.2 × 10 16 atoms / cm 2 . As a result, on the outside of the side wall spacer 106 in the first semiconductor region 101, the Si concentration at a depth of about 70 nm from the surface increased to 75% (Ge concentration decreased to 25%). A semiconductor region 128 is formed.
 尚、イオン注入の際、Siはサイドウォールスペーサー106の下方にも回り込む。但し、回り込み量、つまりサイドウォールスペーサー106下方へのオーバーラップ量は、垂直方向に比べて小さく、20nm程度である。 In addition, during ion implantation, Si also wraps around the side wall spacer 106. However, the amount of wraparound, that is, the amount of overlap below the sidewall spacer 106, is smaller than the vertical direction and is about 20 nm.
 次に、図6(c)に示すように、ソース・ドレイン領域109を形成する。このためには、不純物としてボロンを用い、加速エネルギー1.5keV、注入ドーズ量4×1015atoms/cm2の条件により、ゲート電極122及びサイドウォールスペーサー106をマスクとしてイオン注入を行なう。これにより、第1の半導体領域101におけるサイドウォールスペーサー106の外側方の部分にP型のソース・ドレイン領域109が形成される。続いて、1000℃、0秒の条件のスパイクアニールを行なうことにより、エクステンション領域107及びソース・ドレイン領域109の不純物を活性化させる。このアニールにより、接合深さ60nmのソース・ドレイン領域109が形成される。これは、深さが70nmである第2の半導体領域128よりも10nm浅いことになる。 Next, as shown in FIG. 6C, source / drain regions 109 are formed. For this purpose, boron is used as an impurity, and ion implantation is performed using the gate electrode 122 and the sidewall spacer 106 as a mask under conditions of an acceleration energy of 1.5 keV and an implantation dose of 4 × 10 15 atoms / cm 2 . As a result, a P-type source / drain region 109 is formed on the outer side of the sidewall spacer 106 in the first semiconductor region 101. Subsequently, by performing spike annealing at 1000 ° C. for 0 second, the impurities in the extension region 107 and the source / drain region 109 are activated. By this annealing, a source / drain region 109 having a junction depth of 60 nm is formed. This is 10 nm shallower than the second semiconductor region 128 having a depth of 70 nm.
 以上により、半導体装置151が製造される。本実施形態の場合、ソース・ドレイン領域109を形成する前に、ソース・ドレイン領域109が形成される領域を覆うように、Si濃度が高い第2の半導体領域128を形成することを特徴としている。これにより、ソース・ドレイン領域109の底部及び側部のPN接合部において発生する基板リーク電流を低減している。 Thus, the semiconductor device 151 is manufactured. In the present embodiment, before the source / drain region 109 is formed, the second semiconductor region 128 having a high Si concentration is formed so as to cover the region where the source / drain region 109 is formed. . As a result, the substrate leakage current generated at the PN junctions at the bottom and side of the source / drain region 109 is reduced.
 尚、以上とは異なる工程順として、先にソース・ドレイン領域109を形成し、その後に第2の半導体領域128を形成することもできる。 In addition, as a process order different from the above, the source / drain region 109 may be formed first, and then the second semiconductor region 128 may be formed.
 また、第1の半導体領域101の形成条件、Siイオンの注入条件、エクステンション領域107の注入条件、サイドウォールスペーサー106の形成条件、ソース・ドレイン領域109の注入条件、活性化アニールの条件等について、いずれも例示するものであって、上記の記載には限定されない。 The first semiconductor region 101 formation conditions, Si ion implantation conditions, extension region 107 implantation conditions, sidewall spacer 106 formation conditions, source / drain region 109 implantation conditions, activation annealing conditions, etc. All are illustrative and are not limited to the above description.
 また、ソース・ドレイン領域109の全体を覆うように第2の半導体領域128を形成することは必須ではない。例えば、Si注入時に角度注入を行なってサイドウォールスペーサー106の下方に対する第2の半導体領域128のオーバーラップ量を増加させても良い。これにより、ソース・ドレイン領域109の側面部におけるSi濃度を増大させることができる。その結果、側面部が主要なリーク源である場合の基板リーク電流の低減が可能となる。また、ソース・ドレイン領域109の底部において基板リーク電流が多く発生するのであれば、Si注入時の加速エネルギーをより大きくすることにより、特にソース・ドレイン領域109の底部にSi濃度の高い領域を形成しても良い。 Also, it is not essential to form the second semiconductor region 128 so as to cover the entire source / drain region 109. For example, angle implantation may be performed at the time of Si implantation to increase the amount of overlap of the second semiconductor region 128 below the sidewall spacer 106. Thereby, the Si concentration in the side surface portion of the source / drain region 109 can be increased. As a result, it is possible to reduce the substrate leakage current when the side surface portion is the main leakage source. Further, if a large amount of substrate leakage current occurs at the bottom of the source / drain region 109, a region having a high Si concentration is formed particularly at the bottom of the source / drain region 109 by increasing the acceleration energy during Si implantation. You may do it.
 更に、エクステンション領域107及びソース・ドレイン領域109の両方を覆うように、Si濃度の高い領域を設けても良い。このためには、例えば、第1の実施形態における図2(a)~(c)と図3(a)及び(b)までの工程を終えた後、第2の実施形態における図6(b)及び(c)と同様の工程を行なえばよい。これにより、エクステンション領域107及びソース・ドレイン領域109の両方について、基板リーク電流を抑制した半導体装置を製造することができる。 Furthermore, a region having a high Si concentration may be provided so as to cover both the extension region 107 and the source / drain region 109. For this purpose, for example, after the steps from FIGS. 2A to 2C and FIGS. 3A and 3B in the first embodiment are completed, FIG. 6B in the second embodiment is performed. ) And (c) may be performed. Thereby, a semiconductor device in which the substrate leakage current is suppressed in both the extension region 107 and the source / drain region 109 can be manufactured.
 また、図5(a)の工程の後、図5(b)に示す酸化膜102を形成する間に、第1の半導体領域101上に膜厚2nm程度のSiキャップ層を堆積するようにしても良い。これにより、酸化膜102の品質を向上することができる。 Further, after the step of FIG. 5A, an Si cap layer having a thickness of about 2 nm is deposited on the first semiconductor region 101 while the oxide film 102 shown in FIG. 5B is formed. Also good. Thereby, the quality of the oxide film 102 can be improved.
 また、エクステンション領域107、ソース・ドレイン領域109の形成等に用いるP型不純物としてボロンを例示したが、これに代えてインジウムを用いても良い。更には、ボロン及びインジウムの両方を用いても良い。 Further, although boron is exemplified as the P-type impurity used for forming the extension region 107 and the source / drain region 109, indium may be used instead. Furthermore, both boron and indium may be used.
 本開示の半導体装置は、Geを含む第1の半導体領域をチャネル形成領域とすることによりしきい値電圧を低減すると共に、PN接合部においてSi濃度を高くすることにより基板リーク電流を低減することができ、トランジスタの低消費電力化に有用である。 The semiconductor device of the present disclosure reduces the threshold voltage by using the first semiconductor region containing Ge as a channel formation region, and reduces the substrate leakage current by increasing the Si concentration at the PN junction. This is useful for reducing the power consumption of the transistor.
