高 Ge组分沟道材料层的形成方法 技术领 '域
本发明涉及半导体制造及设计技术领域，特别是涉及一种釆用低温减压化 学气相淀积（RPCVD )工艺结合选择性外延工艺制备高 Ge组分沟道材料层的 方法。 背景技术
在半导体产业中， 硅（Si )作为占据统治地位的半导体材料已经发展了几 十年， 在此期间其表现出了良好的性能。 然而， 随着器件特征尺寸的不断缩小 使得单个晶体管的尺寸逐渐达到物理和技术的双重极限， 因此以硅作为沟道材 料的 CMOS 器件的迁移率变得越来越低， 已经无法满足器件性能不断提升的 要求。 为了解决这种问题， 现有技术引入了应变技术来提高硅材料的迁移率， 或者直接釆用其它的迁移率更高的材料来代替 Si作为器件的沟道材料， 其中 由于 Ge材料具有比较高的空穴载流子迁移率而得到广关注。 由于 Ge材料或 高 Ge组分的 SiGe材料在研究中都呈现出了远远高于现有 Si材料的空穴迁移 率， 因此非常适合于应用于在未来 CMOS工艺中制备 PMOS器件。 但是由于 现有 Si工艺及设备非常成熟， 考虑成本与兼容性的要求， 因此还需要以 Si圓 片作为载体釆用各种工艺方法仅在 Si圓片的表面处制备出 Ge层或高 Ge组分 SiGe层作为器件的沟道材料层，从而在其中实现载流子的高迁移率输运，提高 器件的性能。
但是， 由于 Ge材料的晶格常数与 Si不同， 存在 4.2%晶格失配， 因此如 果直接在 Si衬底上外延 Ge层或高 Ge组分的 SiGe层则会产生大量的位错，这 些位错将会穿通到表面从而形成缺陷， 会极大地恶化制备出的 MOS器件的性 能。 因此这种技术还无法应用于半导体 MOS器件的制造中。 目前也提出了一 些新的工艺与技术， 以在 Si衬底上制备出一层低表面穿通位错密度的高 Ge组 分的沟道材料层， 使其可以应用于器件的制备。
目前的一种方法是在原始的 Si 圓片上整片全局地直接外延高 Ge组分材 料， 主要釆用以下几种工艺和方法来降低表面穿通位错密度， 从而减小表面缺 陷密度： 例如， 可釆用外延 Ge组分渐变的 SiGe层的工艺以得到高 Ge组分材 料； 或者釆用热氧化浓缩低 Ge组分 SiGe层的工艺以提高 Ge组分； 或者釆用 快速热退火及二次生长的方法等。 这些方法的优点是整片全局外延， 便于在后 续工艺中 MOS器件的制备， 且其与传统工艺流程兼容， 但是这些技术在表面 粗糙度，外延层厚度，工艺复杂性与表面缺陷密度等参数方面都有各自的缺点。 并且由于全局异质外延工艺本身的局限性， 制备出的材料表面穿通位错密度仍 旧比较高， 不适于未来纳米尺寸的 CMOS器件的制备。
目前的另一种方法是釆用选择性外延工艺， 在 Si圓片上淀积一层介质层， 利用光刻和刻蚀工艺在介质层上形成深宽比较高的外延孔，在外延孔的底部露 出 Si材料， 然后通过超高真空外延（UHVCVD )等工艺手段外延高 Ge组分的 晶体材料。该选择性外延工艺利用外延孔中垂直的侧墙阻挡住了位错的继续延 伸， 使其不能延伸到表面， 通过一定高度的侧墙阻挡就能滤去大部分的位错缺 陷， 得到表面缺陷密度较低的高 Ge组分沟道材料层， 从而可以在这些生长有 高质量高 Ge组分材料的区域中制备 MOS器件。 在其它的被绝缘介质覆盖的 区域， 由于高 Ge材料晶体成核困难， 可同时引入 HC1等气体通过这些气体对 Ge材料等的刻蚀作用阻挡其成核， 因此可以保证高 Ge组分材料晶体生长主要 发生在外延孔中棵露的 Si衬底的区域， 从而可在预定的区域得到所需要的沟 道材料。 但是这种方法会产生大量垂直向上延伸的位错， 而两侧的侧墙无法阻 挡这些垂直向上延伸的位错， 因此这种方法形成的高 Ge组分沟道材料层表面 粗糙度及位错缺陷密度等还不能达到要求。 发明内容
为了解决上述技术缺陷之一， 本发明将选择性外延工艺和低温减压化学气 相淀积 （RPCVD ) 工艺结合起来， 从而能够制备出表面粗糙度低、 外延层厚 度薄、 缺陷密度低的高 Ge组分沟道材料层， 例如高 Ge组分的 SiGe层或 Ge 层。 通过本发明制备出的高 Ge组分沟道材料层可应用于半导体器件的制备。
步骤（ 1 ) , 选择原始 Si圓片作为衬底或选择已外延了低 Ge组分 SiGe层 的 Si圓片作为衬底， 并清洗， 在所述的低 Ge组分 SiGe材料中， Ge的组分不 大于约 30%。
步骤（2 ), 根据所需要的高 Ge组分沟道材料区域孔的尺寸大小及深宽比 用低压化学气相淀积 （LPCVD )或等离子增强化学气相淀积 （PECVD )在所 述衬底上制备一层所需厚度的 Si02介质层， 在所述的高 Ge组分沟道材料中， Ge的组分为约 50%-100%, 所述 Si02介质层的厚度在几十纳米（ nm )—几个 微米（um )之间选取。
步骤（3 ),利用光刻和干法刻蚀工艺在所述的 Si02介质层上沿不同的晶向 定义并刻蚀出设定尺寸的外延孔， 所述外延孔的深宽比至少大于 1 , 并对所述 外延孔中棵露出的单晶衬底进行清洗。
步骤（4 ), 釆用低温减压化学气相淀积 （RPCVD )工艺在 350°C— 550°C 外延温度下，优选在 450°C— 550°C外延温度下在所述外延孔中棵露出的单晶衬 底上选择性外延出所述的高 Ge组分的沟道材料层。在本发明的一个实施例中， 该高 Ge组分沟道材料层可以为一层， 比如纯 Ge层或高 Ge组分 SiGe层。 在 本发明的另一个实施例中， 该高 Ge组分沟道材料层也可以为两层， 比如先外 延一层弛豫的高 Ge组分 SiGe层， 再外延一层 Ge含量更高的应变 SiGe层或 者应变 Ge层。
通过本发明实施例， 可以制备出位错缺陷密度低于 106cm-2, 表面粗糙度 lnm 以下， 且外延层厚度比较薄的高质量的高 Ge组分沟道材料层， 例如 Ge 层或高 Ge组分 SiGe层， 可应用于未来 CMOS工艺中的 MOS器件的制备。 附闺说明 图 1是根据本发明实施例釆用低温 RPCVD工艺 500°C下外延出的高 Ge 组分 SiGe层 Si/SiGe界面处的透射电子显微镜 ( TEM ) 图像；

本发明通过对低温减压化学气相淀积 （RPCVD )制备高 Ge组分 SiGe单 晶薄膜的多年研究，发现当外延温度在 350°C-550°C之间，优选地，在 450 °C -550 °C之间， 且以 Ge¾和 Si¾气体为外延生长的气体源外延 SiGe薄膜时， 由失 配引起的位错绝大部分都产生在 Si/SiGe界面处很薄的区域内，且呈约 60度在 SiGe中斜向上往表面处延伸， 垂直向上延伸的位错数量非常少， 如图 1所示， 为本发明实施例的 Si/SiGe界面处的透射电子显微镜（TEM ) 图像， 从该图像 上可以看出， 位错呈 60度斜向上向表面处延伸， 垂直方向上的位错基本没有。
因此根据本发明发现的这种特性， 本发明实施例可以结合选择性外延工艺 利用侧墙阻挡住晶格失配产生的斜向位错继续向上延伸到表面的特点， 釆用低 温 RPCVD工艺结合选择性外延工艺过滤掉大部分向上延伸的位错表面穿通位 错。 从而本发明釆用较小厚度的侧墙就可阻挡住大部分的缺陷向上延伸， 进一 步减小了所需侧墙及外延层的厚度， 且由于垂直向上延伸的位错数量很少， 因 此相对于其他外延工艺可进一步降低位错密度。
并且， 作为本发明实施例的附加的优点， 釆用低温 RPCVD外延还可以有 效地降低外延出的 SiGe层的表面粗糙度， 如图 2所示， 为本发明实施例的釆 用低温 RPCVD工艺 500 °C下外延出的高 Ge组分 SiGe层表面的原子力显微镜 ( AFM ) 图像， 其外延层厚度 400nm, 表面粗糙度 RMS=0.389nm。 因此， 这
明实施例制备出的材料能够直接应用于器件制备， 因此可以省略掉化学机械抛 光（CMP )工艺步骤。
备出位错密度更低， 外延层厚度更小且表面粗糙度很低的高质量高 Ge组分沟 道材料层， 例如 Ge层或高 Ge组分 SiGe层， 可以应用于未来高性能 MOS器 件的制备。
如图 3所示， 为本发明实施例的高 Ge组分沟道材料层的形成方法流程图， 该实施例釆用低温减压化学气相淀积结合选择性外延的方式形成高 Ge组分的 沟道材料层， 例如 Ge层或高 Ge组分 SiGe层， 该方法包括以下步骤：
步骤 a, 提供衬底， 并对衬底进行清洗。 在本方法中既可以釆用原始 Si片 作为衬底， 也可以先在 Si衬底上外延一层低 Ge组分 SiGe层后作为衬底， 例 如 Ge含量 30%以下的 SiGe层。 步骤 b ,在衬底上制备符合要求厚度的介质层。在本发明的一个实施例中， 可根据所需要的用来选择性外延 SiGe或 Ge的外延孔的尺寸大小来确定 Si02 介质层的厚度， 一般要求外延孔的深宽比至少在 1以上。 根据不同的要求厚度 可能从几十 nm…几个 um, 根据不同的 Si02介质厚度要求， 可以选择不同的 制备方法， 如热氧化， 化学气相淀积 （ LPCVD或 PECVD ) 以及溅射等。
步骤 c, 在介质层上制作出所需要尺寸的外延孔。 利用光刻， 干法刻蚀工 艺在 Si02介质层上沿不同的晶向定义出所需尺寸的高深宽比的外延孔，以及在 外延孔的底部将衬底暴露， 并对其进行清洗。
步骤 d, 在外延孔中选择性外延所需的材料层。 在本发明实施例中釆用低 温减压化学气相淀积 （RPCVD )在外延孔中进行选择性外延， 其外延温度可 为约 350°C— 550°C , 优选为 450°C-550°C之间， 从而在外延孔中暴露出的衬底 上选择性外延出高质量的高 Ge组分沟道材料层。在本发明的一个实施例中， 该 高 Ge组分沟道材料层可以为一层， 比如纯 Ge层或高 Ge组分 SiGe层。 在本发明 的另一个实施例中， 该高 Ge组分沟道材料层也可以是两层， 比如先外延一层弛 豫的高 Ge组分 SiGe层， 再外延一层含量更高的应变 SiGe层或应变 Ge层， 例如 先外延 Ge组分在 50%以上弛豫的高 Ge组分 SiGe层， 再外延一层 Ge含量更高的 应变 SiGe层或者应变 Ge层。
通过以上步骤， 本发明实施例可以得到位错缺陷密度低于 106cm-2, 表面 粗糙度在 lnm以下， 且外延层厚度比较薄的高质量的高 Ge组分沟道材料层， 例如 Ge层或高 Ge组分 SiGe层， 可应用于未来 CMOS工艺中的 MOS器件的 制备。
