Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of semiconductor devices and methods of fabricating the same, and in particular to a three-dimensional memory device and a method of fabricating the same.
- the process and structure for forming a three-dimensional memory device are faced with many challenges in view of the continued scaling down of the feature size of the semiconductor process.
- the lower selection tube (BSG) 21 is composed of an L-type SEG (selective epitaxial growth) transistor, including two trench lengths L1 and L2.
- the width of the gate electrode needs to be reduced, and the aperture is further reduced, but the high-temperature process in the preparation process of the memory device causes undesired diffusion of the implantation of the common source region 22, as shown by the dotted line in FIG.

随着时代的进步和社会的发展,半导体存储器件在人类社会中所起到的作用越来越重要,与此同时,人们对半导体存储器性能、成本等的要求也越来越高。由于半导体技术和工艺的发展,具有垂直沟道晶体管的半导体存储器被开发出并成功用于产业之中,这样的存储器件通常会被称为三维存储器件。与之前仅仅具有平面沟道晶体管的存储器件相比,三维存储器件可以在相同芯片面积上获得更多的存储节点,从而增加存储器件的集成度,降低成本。
考虑到半导体工艺特征尺寸的持续等比例缩小,形成三维存储器件的工艺和结构面临着很多挑战。其中一个值得注意的问题是,参见图13,在图示的三维存储结构中,下选择管(BSG)21由L型SEG(选择性外延生长)晶体管构成,包括两段沟长L1和L2。高密度集成过程中需要减小栅电极的宽度,同时孔径会进一步缩小,但存储器件制备过程中的高温工艺会使得共源区22的注入存在不期望的扩散,如图13中虚线部分,从而导致在沟道孔23下面的N+区域趋向夹断,这样很难进行衬底24的空穴体擦除。
因此,需要提供一种新的三维存储器件及其制造方法,以克服现有技术的上述缺陷。

以下,通过附图中示出的具体实施例来描述本发明。但是应该理解,这些描述只是示例性的,而并非要限制本发明的范围。此外,在以下说明中,省略了对公知结构和技术的描述,以避免不必要地混淆本发明的概念。
本发明提供一种半导体器件及其制造方法,具体而言,涉及一种三维存储器件及其制造方法。下面,参照说明书附图,将详细描述本发明提供的半导体器件制造方法。
首先,参见附图1,提供衬底1,在衬底1形成第一掩膜层2。半导体衬底1可以依器件用途需要而合理选择,包括但不限于体硅衬底,SOI衬底,锗衬底,锗硅(SiGe)衬底,化合物半导体材料,例如氮化镓(GaN)、砷化镓(GaAs)、磷化铟(InP)等。出于与传统CMOS工艺兼容的考虑,本实施例中的半导体衬底1优选地采用了体硅衬底,例如是P型硅衬底。第一掩膜层2可以采用SiON、Si3N4等材料。
接着,参见图2,对第一掩膜层2进行图案化处理,在衬底1上形成图案化的第一掩模层2,并利用该图案化的第一掩模层2对衬底1进行刻蚀。之后,参见图3,在刻蚀暴露出的衬底1之上形成隔离结构3。其中,优选地将隔离结构3形成L形,参见图3(a);可选地,隔离结构3也可以仅形成在衬底1的水平面上呈一字形(参见图3(b))。形成隔离结构3的工艺包括但是不限于沉积二氧化硅,隔离结构3的材料应适于阻挡后续源区杂质的扩散。接着,去除第一掩膜层2。
参见图4,利用外延或者沉积工艺生长半导体材料以完全覆盖隔离结构3并进行平坦化处理。具体而言,可以通过外延的方法生长单晶硅、SiGe等,或者采用沉积的方法沉积半导体材料,比如多晶硅。此步骤形成的半导体材料用于在随后的工艺中形成共源区、水平沟道区域等等。由于其与衬底均属于半导体材料,且功能相同,因此,在图示中并未进行分界,也未对外延的半导体材料赋予新的附图标记。
接下来,参见图5,首先,多次交替沉积二氧化硅层和栅极结构层,形成多层介质膜4;接着,通过光刻和刻蚀工艺,在多层介质膜4中形成垂直沟道区域5,垂直沟道区域的底部暴露出通过外延或者沉积工艺生长半导体材料,并且,垂直沟道区域5的正下方与衬底1之间至少一部分不被隔离结构3所隔离。
多层介质膜4是由二氧化硅层和栅极结构层交替层叠而形成的叠层,且多层介质膜4在靠近衬底1的部分为二氧化硅层。如果采用先栅工艺(Gate first),多层介质膜4中的栅极结构层即为最终存储器件的栅极层,栅极层的材料为多晶硅,硅化物,金属或者金属的氮化物,例如钨(W),TaN等,还可以包含金属阻挡层如氮化钨(WN),栅极层可以由这些材料形成多层或者单层结构。如果采用后栅工艺
(Gate last),多层介质膜4中的栅极结构层为伪栅极层(Dummy gate),例如为SiON、Si3N4层,其在随后的工艺中会被去除。在本实施例中,采用了后栅工艺,随后的工艺也是基于后栅工艺进行的,而在可选的实施例中,可以采用先栅工艺。
垂直沟道区域5的形状包括但是不限于圆柱状、条状、菱形柱状、半圆柱等柱状,或者空心环状、空心环状与绝缘层填充的核心-外壳结构,其根据具体器件需要而定。
接着,参见图6,在垂直沟道区域5中形成栅介质层6、垂直沟道层7、沟道隔离层8。
栅介质层6进一步包括隧穿层、存储层和阻挡层(均未给出附图标记)。其中,隧穿层材料为SiO2,SiON,或者HfO2,Al2O3等高K材料形成,可以具有单层或多层结构;存储层材料为具有电荷俘获能力的材料,例如Si3N4,SiON,HfO2,Al2O3,AlN等,也可具有单层或多层结构;阻挡层材料为SiO2,Al2O3,HfO2等介质材料,具有单层或多层结构。垂直沟道层7的材料为非晶Si,多晶Si,SiGe等等,沟道隔离层8为SiO2,Si3N4,空气隙(Airgap),SiGe等等。
在垂直沟道区域5中形成栅介质层6、垂直沟道层7、沟道隔离层8各层之前,可以进行选择性外延生长(SEG)的方式形成下选择晶体管的垂直方向沟道所在的外延半导体区域9。本实施例在SEG外延半导体区域9存在的基础上进行;而在可选的实施例中,可以不进行SEG,也即下选择晶体管不具有垂直方向沟道,例如可以参见图12的情形。
在形成栅介质层6、垂直沟道层7、沟道隔离层8各层之后,可以进行回刻并完成位线接触区10的填充,如非晶Si,多晶Si,SiGe或者金属等导电材料。
接着,参见图7以及图8,利用掩模刻蚀多层介质膜4至通过外延或者沉积工艺生长半导体材料,并进行注入,形成共源区11,共源区11的正下方与衬底1之间至少部分被隔离结构3所隔离。在图7中,通过刻蚀暴露出半导体材料的衬底,也即需要形成共源区11的位置;同时,在本实施例中,由于采用后栅工艺,在刻蚀工艺后,去除多个伪栅极层,形成用于容纳之后的栅极层的空间。
参见图8,在进行共源区11注入时,由于本实施例中衬底采用
了P型材料,共源区11的杂质类型为N+型。本发明在共源区11与其下方的衬底之间嵌入了隔离结构3,尤其是L形的隔离结构3,在进行共源区注入时,能够抑制杂质产生不期望的扩散,更好地将杂质控制在共源区,避免了由于杂质过度扩散而引起的操作失效,例如使得空穴体擦除失效。这样,隔离结构3实现了N型区域和P型区域的空间分离,具体到本实施例来说,是P型衬底与N+型共源区的分离。
在本实施例的后栅工艺中,参见图9,在形成共源区之后,进行栅电极的填充,例如采用TiN、W等,形成包括下选择晶体管栅极12在内的各个栅电极。在进行栅电极填充之前,优先形成下选择晶体管栅极12对应其垂直方向沟道的栅介质层,例如采用氧化工艺。在可选的实施例中,也可以在去除伪栅极层之前,首先去除多层介质膜4中的二氧化硅材料,在去除伪栅极层之后,整个栅介质层6或者部分的栅介质层6可以在去除伪栅极层之后通过沉积的方法填充,然后填充栅电极。后栅工艺中的栅电极和栅介质层的形成可以根据具体需求,设置在刻蚀出共源区之后的工艺流程中的合适位置。
参见图10,沉积绝缘介质形成隔离侧墙,随后沉积金属材料,如W等,形成包括共源区的各个电极引出14以及位线13,从而完成了三维存储器件的制造流程。在三维存储器件编程和读状态时候,电子从共源区11,经过水平方向和垂直方向沟道向位线流动,如图10中的L形虚线箭头,而在擦除时,空穴从衬底注入,如图10中的直线形虚线箭头所示,这样,由于隔离结构的存在,三维存储器件实现了编程/擦除时候需要的电子和空穴在空间上的分离,提高了擦写的效率,也有利于提高集成度。
在可选的实施例中,参见图11,垂直沟道区域5的栅介质层6被形成为L形;或者,参见图12,垂直沟道区域5的底部并不进行SEG外延半导体区域9的工艺,也即下选择晶体管不包括垂直方向的沟道,仅存在水平方向的沟道。
相应地,本发明还提供一种半导体器件,包括三维存储器件,具体包括:衬底1;隔离结构3,位于所述衬底之中;多层介质膜4,包括交替层叠的二氧化硅层和栅极结构层;垂直沟道区域5,位于多层介质膜4中,垂直沟道区域5的底部暴露出半导体材料,其中,垂
直沟道区域5的正下方与衬底1之间至少一部分不被隔离结构3所隔离;位于垂直沟道区域5之中的栅介质层6、垂直沟道层7、沟道隔离层8;共源区11,位于衬底1中,共源区11的正下方与衬底1之间至少部分被隔离结构3所隔离;隔离侧墙以及各个电极引出14和位线13。
其中,衬底1包括位于衬底1之上的外延半导体材料层。
在可选的实施例之中,位于垂直沟道区域5之中的栅介质层6为直线形(参见图10)或者L形(参见图11);因此,在可选的实施例之中,下选择晶体管在垂直沟道方向,可以有外延的沟道部分9,也可以没有外延的沟道部分(参见图12)。
以上,本发明的半导体器件及其制造方法已得到说明。在本发明的方法中,在共源区与其下方的衬底之间嵌入了隔离结构,其能够在进行共源区注入时抑制杂质产生不期望的扩散,避免了由于杂质过度扩散而引起的操作失效。在三维存储器件编程和读状态时候,电子从共源区向位线流动,而在擦除时,空穴从衬底注入,由于隔离结构的存在,三维存储器件实现了编程/擦除时候需要的电子和空穴在空间上的分离,提高了擦写的效率,也有利于提高集成度。
尽管已参照一个或多个示例性实施例说明本发明,本领域技术人员可以知晓无需脱离本发明范围而对器件结构和/或工艺流程做出各种合适的改变和等价方式。此外,由所公开的教导可做出许多可能适于特定情形或材料的修改而不脱离本发明范围。因此,本发明的目的不在于限定在作为用于实现本发明的最佳实施方式而公开的特定实施例,而所公开的器件结构及其制造方法将包括落入本发明范围内的所有实施例。
