次に、本実施の形態に係るトンネル電界効果トランジスタ100の製造方法について説明する。図6A~Cおよび図7A,Bは、本実施の形態に係るトンネル電界効果トランジスタ100の製造方法の一例を示す断面模式図である。これらの図に示されるように、本実施の形態に係るトンネル電界効果トランジスタ100は、例えば、1)基板110を準備する第1ステップ(図6A)と、2)コアマルチシェルナノワイヤ130を形成する第2ステップ(図6Bおよび図6C)と、3)ゲート電極170を形成する第3ステップ(図7A)と、4)ソース電極140およびドレイン電極150を形成する第4ステップ(図7B)と、により製造されうる。以下、各工程について説明する。
第1ステップでは、開口部を有する絶縁膜120で被覆された基板110を準備する(図6A)。基板110の種類は、(111)面を有するIV族半導体からなる基板であれば特に限定されない。基板110は、第1導電型(n型またはp型)にドープされている。たとえば、基板110は、n型シリコン(111)基板またはp型シリコン(111)基板である。基板110が(111)面を有さない基板(シリコン(100)基板など)である場合は、異方性エッチングなどにより(111)面を露出させる。
第2ステップでは、コアマルチシェルナノワイヤ130を形成する(図6Bおよび図6C)。より具体的には、絶縁膜120の開口部内に露出した基板110の(111)面から中心ナノワイヤ131を成長させ(図6B)、次いで中心ナノワイヤ131の側面に複数の被覆層を形成する(図6C)。このとき、中心ナノワイヤ131を成長させる前に、交互原料供給変調法により基板110の(111)面にIII-V族化合物半導体の薄膜を形成することが好ましい。
基板110にIII族元素を含む原料ガスとV族元素を含む原料ガスとを交互に提供して(以下「交互原料供給変調法」という)、絶縁膜120の開口部内に露出した(111)A面または(111)B面にIII-V族化合物半導体の薄膜を形成する。この交互原料供給変調法による薄膜形成は、中心ナノワイヤ131を成長させるために必要な温度よりも低い温度にて行われることが好ましい。たとえば、交互原料供給変調法による薄膜形成は、約400℃で行うか、または400℃から昇温しながら行えばよい。
III-V化合物半導体の薄膜を形成した後に、基板110の(111)面から絶縁膜120の開口部を通してIII-V族化合物半導体からなる中心ナノワイヤ131を成長させる(図6B)。中心ナノワイヤ131の成長は、例えば有機金属化学気相エピタキシ法(以下「MOVPE法」ともいう)や、分子線エピタキシ法(以下「MBE法」ともいう)などにより行われる。好ましくは、中心ナノワイヤ131の成長は、MOVPE法により行われる。なお、絶縁膜120の開口部以外の領域では、絶縁膜120により中心ナノワイヤ131の成長は阻害される。
中心ナノワイヤ131を形成した後に、中心ナノワイヤ131の側面に被覆層を形成する(図6C)。より具体的には、中心ナノワイヤ131の側面にバリア層134を形成し、次いでバリア層134の上に変調ドープ層135およびキャップ層136(または、第1スペーサー層137、変調ドープ層135、第2スペーサー層138およびキャップ層136)をこの順番で積層させる。被覆層の形成は、例えば有機金属化学気相エピタキシ法(以下「MOVPE法」ともいう)や、分子線エピタキシ法(以下「MBE法」ともいう)などにより行われる。作業工程を減らす観点からは、被覆層の形成方法は、中心ナノワイヤ131の製造方法と同じであることが好ましい。
第3ステップでは、ゲート電極170を形成する(図7A)。具体的には、中心ナノワイヤ131の側面にゲート絶縁膜160を形成し、その上にゲート電極170を形成する。ゲート絶縁膜160を形成する方法は、特に限定されない。たとえば、ALD法などを用いて酸化シリコン(SiO2)、酸化アルミニウム(Al2O3)、酸化ハフニウム(HfO2)、酸化ジルコニウム(ZrO2)または酸化ランタン(La2O3)からなる膜を形成すればよい。また、ゲート電極160を形成する方法も、特に限定されない。たとえば、フォトリソグラフィー法を用いて、電極形成予定部位以外の領域をレジスト膜でマスクし、金や白金、チタン、クロム、アルミニウム、パラジウム、モリブデンなどの金属またはポリシリコンなどの半導体を蒸着させ、レジスト膜を除去(リフトオフ)すればよい。また、チタンを蒸着させた後、さらに金を蒸着させて重層して、二層構造の電極としてもよい。ゲート電極170を形成した後に、コアマルチシェルナノワイヤ130、ゲート絶縁膜160およびゲート電極170を保護する絶縁保護膜180を形成してもよい。絶縁保護膜180は、例えば絶縁樹脂からなる膜である。
第4ステップでは、ソース電極140およびドレイン電極150を形成する(図7B)。ソース電極140およびドレイン電極150を形成する方法は、特に限定されない。たとえば、ゲート電極170と同様にフォトリソグラフィー法を用いて形成すればよい。
