Description

隧穿场效应晶体管及其制备方法 技术领域
本发明涉及半导体技术领域,特别涉及一种隧穿场效应晶体管及其制备方法。
背景技术
随着半导体技术的迅速发展,芯片中晶体管的集成密度越来越高。在此种情况下,功耗成为芯片设计的关键挑战因素。降低功耗的关键在于降低晶体管的供电电压,而降低供电电压的核心制约因素为晶体管的亚阈值摆幅,即晶体管从关闭状态到开启状态转变的锐利程度。陡峭的亚阈值转变允许更大幅度供电电压的降低,从而实现晶体管功耗的大幅降低。TFET(Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor,隧穿场效应晶体管)即为一种具有陡峭的亚阈值特性的晶体管,因此,TFET在降低器件功耗方面具有非常大的发展潜力。
如图1所示,其示出了一种现有技术中的TFET的结构示意图。如图1所示,现有技术TFET中包括重掺杂的源区、漏区、沟道区、轻掺杂的口袋层、栅介质层和栅区。图1中,101表示源区,102表示沟道区,103表示漏区,104表示口袋层,105表示栅介质层,106表示栅区。其中,口袋层与源区的部分区域及沟道区的部分区域重叠。在栅电场的作用下,口袋层的载流子积累,最终与源区形成隧穿结,源区的载流子隧穿至口袋层,形成电流。图1所示的TFET中,源区与源区正上方的口袋层部分构成第一种隧穿结,在此基础上,在栅电场的作用下,载流子会沿着实线箭头隧穿,其隧穿方向与栅电场平行,为线隧穿。因此,该种隧穿结为线隧穿结。另外,结合图1,在这种结构下,由于沟道区上方的区域也同样受栅电场的调控,因此,在源区的角落与口袋层之间也会形成第二种隧穿结,载流子也会进行隧穿,如图1中的虚线箭头所示。该种隧穿方式的隧穿方向与栅电场交叉,为点隧穿。因此,该种隧穿结为点隧穿结。在实现本发明的过程中,发明人发现现有技术至少存在以下不足:
由于点隧穿结的开启电压小于线隧穿结的开启电压,因此,使得点隧穿结先于线隧穿结开启,导致TFET亚阈值摆幅退化,使得TFET开启缓慢,削弱 了TFET降低工作电压的能力,导致器件降低功耗能力退化。因此,图1中的结构使得TFET的功耗比较大。

具体实施方式
为使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本发明实施方式作进一步地详细描述。
本发明实施例提供了一种TFET,该TFET包括源区、漏区、沟道区、口袋层、栅介质层和栅区,其中:
源区和漏区分离地设置于半导体衬底内部,且沟道区连接源区和漏区;口袋层设置于源区和沟道区的上表面,栅介质层设置于口袋层的上表面,栅区设置于栅介质层的上表面。
关于口袋层、栅介质层和栅区的厚度,本发明实施例不作具体限定,口袋层、栅介质层和栅区的厚度可以相同,也可以不同。在可选实施例中,口袋层、栅介质层和栅区的厚度均可以设置为1纳米至5纳米中的任一数值。
其中,栅介质层包括第一区域和第二区域,第一区域为位于源区上方的栅介质层区域,第二区域为位于沟道区上方的栅介质层区域,第一区域的栅电容大于第二区域的栅电容。栅压通过第一区域控制线隧穿结,通过第二区域控制点隧穿结。栅电容是指由栅区、栅介质层及源区和漏区构成电容时,栅介质层表面的电容大小。
口袋层至少覆盖部分源区和部分沟道区。其中,口袋层的掺杂浓度小于源区的掺杂浓度。口袋层与源区组成隧穿场效应晶体管的隧穿结。在该TFET中,栅区用于确定TFET的开启与关闭。当TFET的栅控电压小于阈值电压时,TFET处于关闭状态;当TFET的栅控电压大于阈值电压时,TFET处于开启状态。在栅电场的作用下,口袋层的载流子积累,最终与源区形成隧穿结,源区的载流子隧穿至口袋层,形成电流。
在本发明实施例中,半导体衬底的材料可以为体硅、绝缘体上的硅(SOI,Silicon-on-insulator)、锗硅、锗以及III-V族化合物半导体中的一种。口袋层的材料可以为硅、锗硅、锗以及III-V族化合物半导体中的一种。栅区的材料可 以为多晶硅、金属以及多晶硅与金属的多层复合结构中的一种。半导体衬底及口袋层的材料可以相同,也可以不同。沟道区是载流子从源区到漏区的导电通路。由于沟道区为半导体衬底内部的部分区域,因此,沟道区的材料与半导体衬底的材料相同。
在本发明实施例中,在使栅介质层第一区域的栅电容大于栅介质层第二区域的栅电容时,可以通过控制栅介质层在第一区域和第二区域的材料和/或组成结构满足一定条件来实现,关于栅介质层的材料及结构将在后续各个实施例中详细阐述,此处暂不赘述。另外,本发明实施例所述的TFET的内容适用于下述各个实施例,在后续各个实施例中将不针对相同的内容再作赘述。
本发明实施例提供的TFET,通过设置位于源区上方的栅介质层的栅电容大于位于沟道区上方的栅介质层的栅电容,使得在相同栅压下,栅压对线隧穿结的调控能力强于对点隧穿结的调控能力,因此,点隧穿结所需的开启电压相对增大,因而能够延缓或者推迟点隧穿结的开启,从而保证线隧穿能够主宰整个器件的开启,确保TFEF具有比较陡峭的亚阈值特性,使得TFET的功耗降低。
结合上述实施例的内容,图2是本发明另一实施例提供的一种TFET的结构示意图。图2所对应实施例通过控制栅介质层的组成结构和材料来使栅介质层第一区域的栅电容大于栅介质层第二区域的栅电容。
如图2所示,本发明实施例提供的TFET中,源区201和漏区203分离地设置于半导体衬底200内部;沟道区202连接源区201和漏区203。口袋层204设置于半导体衬底200上表面的部分区域,且口袋层204至少覆盖部分源区201和部分沟道区202。
其中,口袋层204可以与漏区203不接触。口袋层204不与漏区203接触能减小TFET漏电的可能性,从而能够提高TFET的性能。
在本发明实施例中,如图2所示,栅介质层205设置于口袋层204之上,且栅介质层205由第一栅介质层205.1和第二栅介质层205.2组成。其中,第一栅介质层205.1完全覆盖口袋层204的上表面,第二栅介质层205.2覆盖第一栅介质层205.1上表面的第一指定区域,该第一指定区域为第一栅介质层205.1上表面中位于沟道区202上方的区域。
由图2可得,在本发明实施例中,栅介质层205的第一区域为第一栅介质 层205.1位于源区201上方的区域,栅介质层205的第二区域为第一栅介质层205.1位于沟道区202上方的区域及第二栅介质层205.2。图2中,标记“一”的区域对应的栅介质层为栅介质层205的第一区域,标记“二”的区域对应的栅介质层为栅介质层205的第二区域。
其中,第一栅介质层205.1的材料的相对介电常数大于第二栅介质层205.2的材料的相对介电常数。例如,第一栅介质层205.1的材料可以为高介电材料,第二栅介质层205.2的材料可以为低介电材料。高介电材料是指相对介电常数大于二氧化硅的相对介电常数的介电材料,低介电材料是指相对介电常数小于二氧化硅的相对介电常数的介电材料。其中,相对介电常数是指相对真空的介电常数,二氧化硅相对真空的介电常数为3.9。
结合图2,在本发明实施例中,通过设置栅介质层205第一区域为第一栅介质层205.1位于源区201上方的区域,第二区域为第一栅介质层205.1位于沟道区202上方的区域及第二栅介质层205.2,使得栅介质层205在第一区域的厚度显然小于第二区域的厚度,而栅介质层205的栅电容与栅介质层205的厚度成反比,从而使得栅介质层205在第一区域的栅电容大于第二区域的栅电容。进一步地,在本发明实施例中,通过设置第一栅介质层205.1的材料为高介电材料,第二栅介质层205.2的材料为低介电材料,使得第一栅介质层205.1材料的相对介电常数大于第二栅介质层205.2材料的相对介电常数,进而使得栅介质层205第一区域的平均相对介电常数大于第二区域的平均相对介电常数,而栅介质层205的栅电容与栅介质层205材料的相对介电常数成正比,从而使得栅介质层205第一区域的栅电容大于第二区域的栅电容。
结合图2,在可选择的实施例中,口袋层204、栅介质层205和栅区206两侧制备有隔离墙207。隔离墙207的材料为氮化硅等绝缘材料,隔离墙207的形状可以为如图2所示镰刀状,也可以为矩形等。栅区206外围和隔离墙207外围可以填充有低介电材料208,如氮化硅(Si3N4)等。另外,源区201、栅区206和漏区203的指定位置处分别制备有金属源电极209、金属栅电极211和金属漏电极210。
需要说明的是,该实施例中所述的“指定位置”为预先设置的用于制备金属源电极209、金属栅电极211和金属漏电极210的位置。例如,指定位置可以为源区201上表面未被隔离墙207覆盖的任意位置,栅区206上表面的任意位置,漏区203上表面未被隔离墙207覆盖的任意位置。
其中,由于隔离墙207为绝缘材料,因此,其可以用于隔离金属源电极209、金属栅电极211及金属漏电极210,从而避免出现短路现象。另外,基于隔离墙207的材料,使得隔离墙207的机械性能比较好,能够固定栅区206、口袋层204和栅介质层205的形状。
通过填充低介电材料208,可以防止TFET的寄生电容过大。另外,通过低介电材料,能起到对金属源电极209、金属栅电极211和金属漏电极210的机械支撑作用。
本发明实施例提供的TFET,通过设置栅介质层第一区域为第一栅介质层位于源区上方的区域,第二区域为第一栅介质层位于沟道区上方的区域及第二栅介质层,使得栅介质层在第一区域的厚度显然小于第二区域的厚度,以及通过设置第一栅介质层的材料为高介电材料,第二栅介质层的材料为低介电材料,使得栅介质层第一区域的平均相对介电常数大于第二区域的平均相对介电常数,而栅介质层的栅电容与厚度成反比,而与其材料的相对介电常数成正比,从而使得栅介质层第一区域的栅电容大于第二区域的栅电容,使得位于源区上方的栅介质层的栅电容大于位于沟道区上方的栅介质层的栅电容,使在相同栅压下,栅压对线隧穿结的调控能力强于对点隧穿结的调控能力,因此,点隧穿结所需的开启电压相对增大,因而能够延缓或者推迟点隧穿结的开启,从而保证线隧穿能够主宰整个器件的开启,确保TFEF具有比较陡峭的亚阈值特性,使得TFET的功耗降低。
结合上述实施例的内容,图3是本发明另一实施例提供的一种TFET的结构示意图,图3所对应实施例通过控制栅介质层的组成结构和材料来使栅介质层第一区域的栅电容大于栅介质层第二区域的栅电容。
如图3所示,本发明实施例提供的TFET中,源区301和漏区303分离地设置于半导体衬底300内部;沟道区302连接源区301和漏区303。口袋层304设置于半导体衬底300上表面的部分区域,且口袋层304至少覆盖部分源区301和部分沟道区302,口袋层304与漏区303不接触。口袋层304不与漏区303接触能减小TFET漏电的可能性,从而能够提高TFET的性能。
在本发明实施例中,如图3所示,栅介质层305设置于口袋层304之上,且栅介质层305由第三栅介质层305.3和第四栅介质层305.4组成。其中,第三栅介质层305.3覆盖口袋层304的上表面的第二指定区域,该第二指定区域 为口袋层304上表面中位于沟道区302上方的区域。第四栅介质层305.4完全覆盖第三栅介质层305.3的上表面及口袋层304上表面的第三指定区域,该第三指定区域为口袋层304上表面除第二指定区域外的区域。
由图3可得,在本发明实施例中,栅介质层305的第一区域为第四栅介质层305.4位于源区301上方的区域,栅介质层305的第二区域为第三栅介质层305.3及第四栅介质层305.4位于沟道区302上方的区域。图3中,标记“一”的区域对应的栅介质层为栅介质层305的第一区域,标记“二”的区域对应的栅介质层为栅介质层305的第二区域。
其中,第三栅介质层305.3材料的相对介电常数小于第四栅介质层305.4材料的相对介电常数。例如,第三栅介质层305.3的材料可以为低介电材料,第四栅介质层305.4的材料可以为高介电材料。
结合图3,在本发明实施例中,通过设置栅介质层305第一区域为第四栅介质层305.4位于源区301上方的区域,栅介质层305的第二区域为第三栅介质层305.3及第四栅介质层305.4位于沟道区302上方的区域,使得栅介质层305在第一区域的厚度显然小于第二区域的厚度,而栅介质层305的栅电容与栅介质层305的厚度成反比,从而使得栅介质层305在第一区域的栅电容大于第二区域的栅电容。进一步地,在本发明实施例中,通过设置第三栅介质层305.3的材料为低介电材料,第四栅介质层305.4的材料为高介电材料,使得第三栅介质层305.3材料的相对介电常数小于第四栅介质层305.4材料的相对介电常数,进而使得栅介质层305第一区域的平均相对介电常数大于第二区域的平均相对介电常数,而栅介质层305的栅电容与栅介质层305材料的相对介电常数成正比,从而使得栅介质层305第一区域的栅电容大于第二区域的栅电容。
结合图3,在可选择的实施例中,口袋层304、栅介质层305和栅区306两侧制备有隔离墙307,栅区306外围和隔离墙307外围可以填充有低介电材料308(图3中未示出低介电材料),源区301、栅区306和漏区303的指定位置处分别制备有金属源电极309、金属栅电极311和金属漏电极310(图3中未示出金属源电极309、金属栅电极311和金属漏电极310)。

结合上述实施例的内容,图4是本发明另一实施例提供的一种TFET的结构示意图,图4所对应实施例通过控制栅介质层在不同区域的厚度来使栅介质层第一区域的栅电容大于栅介质层第二区域的栅电容。

在本发明实施例中,结合图4,由于栅介质层405第一区域的厚度小于第二区域的厚度,而栅介质层405的栅电容与栅介质层405的厚度成反比,从而使得栅介质层305在第一区域的栅电容大于第二区域的栅电容。

本发明实施例提供的TFET,通过设置栅介质层的第一区域的厚度小于第二区域的厚度,而栅介质层的栅电容与厚度成反比,从而使得栅介质层第一区域的栅电容大于第二区域的栅电容,使得在相同栅压下,栅压对线隧穿结的调控能力强于对点隧穿结的调控能力。因此,点隧穿结所需的开启电压相对增大,因而能够延缓或者推迟点隧穿结的开启,从而保证线隧穿能够主宰整个器件的开启,确保TFEF具有比较陡峭的亚阈值特性,使得TFET的功耗降低。

需要说明的是,上述所有可选技术方案,可以采用任意结合形成本发明的可选实施例,在此不再一一赘述。
结合上述图6所对应实施例的内容,为了便于理解,本发明实施例以制备图2所示的TFET为例,对本发明实施例提供的TFET的制备方法进行详细说明。如图7所示,该TFET的制备方法包括以下步骤:
701、根据隧穿场效应晶体管的类型,对预设衬底进行阱注入,得到与隧穿场效应晶体管的类型匹配的半导体衬底。
其中,预设衬底为本征半导体。当隧穿场效应晶体管的类型不同时,在对预设衬底进行阱注入时,注入的杂质的类型也不同。例如,如果TFET为N型,则对预设衬底进行阱注入时,注入的掺杂类型为P型杂质,如B(硼)或Ga(镓)等,以得到P型阱,即P型半导体衬底。如果TFET为P型,则对预设衬底进行阱注入时,注入的掺杂类型为N型杂质,如P(磷)或As(砷)等,以得到N型阱,即N型半导体衬底。
如图8所示,其示出了一种半导体衬底的示意图。该半导体衬底的材料已在上述各个实施例中进行了说明,具体可参见上述各个实施例中的内容,此处不再赘述。
702、在半导体衬底上制备保护层,在保护层上制备指定形状的牺牲层。
保护层用于在半导体衬底中通过离子注入的方式形成源区和漏区时,保护半导体衬底。牺牲层用于在半导体衬底中通过离子注入的方式形成源区和漏区时,自对准地形成沟道区。其中,指定形状可以为矩形等。
需要说明的是,为了防止后续离子注入时,注入源区和漏区的离子扩散至沟道区中,牺牲层在保护层上的长度大于预设沟道区的长度。例如,预设沟道区的长度为200纳米,则牺牲层的长度可以为250纳米等。如图9所示,其示出了一种保护层和牺牲层的示意图。结合图9,牺牲层下面对应的半导体区域为预设沟道区所在的区域。
具体地,关于制备保护层和牺牲层的方式,可以有很多种。例如,可以通过沉积生长的方式在半导体衬底上制备保护层,可以通过光刻和刻蚀技术在保护层上制备牺牲层,并定义牺牲层的形状。其中,保护层的材料可以为二氧化 硅等,牺牲层的材料可以为α硅等。
需要说明的是,该步骤为可选步骤,用于在后续在半导体衬底中进行离子注入时保护半导体衬底。当然,此处仅以生成保护层和牺牲层为例对保护半导体衬底的方式进行了说明,然而,在具体实施时,也可以采用其它方式实现。
703、利用光刻技术保护半导体衬底中的预设漏区,对半导体衬底中的预设源区进行第一种离子注入;利用光刻技术保护源区,对预设漏区进行第二种离子注入;对完成离子注入的结构进行快速退火工艺,生成源区和漏区。
在进行第一种离子注入和第二种离子注入时,分别注入的离子的类型与TFET的类型有关。例如,当TFET是N型时,在源区中注入的离子为P型离子,在漏区中注入的离子为N型离子;当TFET是P型时,在源区中注入的离子为N型离子,在漏区中注入的离子为P型离子。
如图10所示,其示出了一种源区和漏区的示意图。图10中,半导体衬底的左半边掺杂区域表示源区,右半边掺杂区域表示漏区。
704、通过刻蚀技术移除保护层和牺牲层,在半导体衬底上表面制备初始口袋层,并对初始口袋层进行刻蚀,得到口袋层。
口袋层与源区组成隧穿场效应晶体管的隧穿结。关于口袋层和源区组成隧穿结时的原理,已在上述实施例中进行了说明,此处不再赘述。关于口袋层的材料也已在上述各个实施例中进行了说明,此处也不再赘述。
其中,对初始口袋层进行刻蚀,得到的口袋层至少覆盖部分源区和部分沟道区。可选地,口袋层不与漏区接触,以能减小TFET漏电的可能性,从而能够提高TFET的性能。
705、使用高介电材料在口袋层上表面沉积第一栅介质层,使用低介电材料在第一栅介质层上表面的第一指定区域沉积第二栅介质层,由第一栅介质层和第二栅介质层组成栅介质层。
其中,第一栅介质层完全覆盖口袋层的上表面,第二栅介质层覆盖第一栅介质层上表面的第一指定区域,该第一指定区域为第一栅介质层上表面位于沟道区上方的区域。
具体地,在使用高介电材料在口袋层上表面沉积第一栅介质层,使用低介电材料在第一栅介质层上表面的第一指定区域沉积第二栅介质层时,包括但不限于通过如下两种方式来实现:
第一种方式:在步骤704中制备的初始口袋层上表面使用高介电材料沉积 初始第一栅介质层,使用低介电材料在初始第一栅介质层上表面沉积初始第二栅介质层。如图11所示,其示出了一种初始口袋层、初始第一栅介质层和初始第二栅介质层的示意图。由图11可得,初始口袋层完全覆盖半导体衬底的上表面,初始第一栅介质层完全覆盖初始口袋层,初始第二栅介质层完全覆盖初始第一栅介质层。然后,利用光刻和刻蚀技术对初始第二栅介质层进行刻蚀,以对第二栅介质层的形状进行定义,刻蚀掉初始第二栅介质层上表面位于源区上方的区域,得到刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层。其中,刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层的边缘与源区对齐或稍有重叠,该重叠尺寸可以为1纳米至5纳米之间。如图12所示,其示出了一种刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层的示意图。最后,在根据预设口袋层的形状、预设第一栅介质层的形状和预设第二栅介质层的形状,对初始口袋层、初始第一栅介质层和刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层进行进一步刻蚀后,可以得到口袋层、第一栅介质层和第二栅介质层。另外,在该种方式下,步骤705中制备得到的口袋层为在该步骤中通过对初始口袋层进行刻蚀得到的,即步骤705仅需制备初始口袋层即可。
第二种方式:直接在口袋层上表面使用高介电材料沉积第一栅介质层,并在第一栅介质层上预先设置的第一指定区域使用低介电材料沉积第二栅介质层。
通过该种方式制备第一栅介质层和第二栅介质层时,能够节省刻蚀工艺,从而能够节省工艺流程。
706、在栅介质层的上表面制备栅区。
关于栅区的材料已在上述实施例中进行了说明,此处不再赘述。
结合上述步骤705中制备第一栅介质层和第二栅介质层的两种方式,在栅介质层上表面制备栅区时,也可以有两种方式:
第一种方式:该种方式与步骤705中的第一种方式对应。
具体地,在刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层上表面及未被刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层覆盖的初始第一栅介质层上表面制备初始栅区。如图13所示,其示出了一种初始口袋层、初始第一栅介质层、刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层和初始栅区的示意图。然后,根据预设口袋层的形状、预设第一栅介质层的形状、预设第二栅介质层的形状和预设栅区的形状,对初始口袋层、初始第一栅介质层、刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层和初始栅区进行刻蚀,分别得到口袋层、第一栅介质层、第二栅介质层和栅区。
具体地,在对初始口袋层、初始第一栅介质层、刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层和初始栅区进行刻蚀时,可以结合光刻和各向异性刻蚀技术,依次对初始口袋层、初始第一栅介质层、刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层和初始栅区进行刻蚀。
另外,在该种方式下,步骤705中制备得到的口袋层为在该步骤中通过对初始口袋层进行刻蚀得到的,即步骤705仅需制备初始口袋层即可。第一栅介质层和第二栅介质层也为该步骤中通过分别对初始第一栅介质层和刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层进行刻蚀得到的,即步骤706仅需制备到初始第一栅介质层和刻蚀后的初始第二栅介质层即可。
第二种方式:该种方式与步骤705中的第二种方式对应。
具体地,该种方式直接在栅介质层上表面沉积栅区,该栅区完全覆盖栅介质层的上表面。
707、在口袋层、栅介质层和栅区两侧制备隔离墙。
其中,隔离墙的材料为绝缘材料,如氮化硅等。具体地,可以通过各向异性刻蚀技术在口袋层、栅介质层和栅区两侧制备隔离墙。该隔离墙用于隔离后续制备的金属源电极、金属栅电极及金属漏电极,从而避免短路。如图14所示,其示出了一种隔离墙的示意图。
708、在隔离墙及栅区外侧填充低介电材料,并在源区、栅区和漏区的指定位置处分别制备金属源电极、金属栅电极和金属漏电极。
其中,低介电材料可以为二氧化硅或氮化硅等。通过填充低介电材料,可以防止TFET的寄生电容比较大。另外,通过低介电材料,能对金属源电极、金属栅电极和金属漏电极起到很好的机械支撑作用。
另外,关于指定位置的内容已在上述各实施例中进行了说明,具体可参见上述实施例中的内容,此处不再赘述。
本发明实施例提供的TFET的制备方法,通过设置栅介质层第一区域为第一栅介质层位于源区上方的区域,第二区域为第一栅介质层位于沟道区上方的区域及第二栅介质层,使得栅介质层在第一区域的厚度显然小于第二区域的厚度,以及通过设置第一栅介质层的材料为高介电材料,第二栅介质层的材料为低介电材料,使得栅介质层第一区域的平均相对介电常数大于第二区域的平均相对介电常数,而栅介质层的栅电容与厚度成反比,而与其材料的相对介电常数成正比,从而使得栅介质层第一区域的栅电容大于第二区域的栅电容,从而使得位于源区上方的栅介质层的栅电容大于位于沟道区上方的栅介质层的栅 电容,使得在相同栅压下,栅压对线隧穿结的调控能力强于对点隧穿结的调控能力。因此,点隧穿结所需的开启电压相对增大,因而能够延缓或者推迟点隧穿结的开启,从而保证线隧穿能够主宰整个器件的开启,确保TFEF具有比较陡峭的亚阈值特性,使得TFET的功耗降低。
结合上述图6所对应实施例的内容,为了便于理解,本发明实施例以制备图3所示的TFET为例,对本发明实施例提供的TFET的制备方法进行详细说明。如图15所示,该制备方法包括以下步骤:
1501、根据隧穿场效应晶体管的类型,对预设衬底进行阱注入,得到与隧穿场效应晶体管的类型匹配的半导体衬底。
该步骤的原理同步骤701中的原理一致,具体可参见步骤701中的内容,此处不再赘述。
1502、在半导体衬底上制备保护层,在保护层上制备指定形状的牺牲层。
该步骤的原理同步骤702中的原理一致,具体可参见步骤702中的内容,此处不再赘述。
1503、利用光刻技术保护半导体衬底中的预设漏区,对半导体衬底中的预设源区进行第一种离子注入;利用光刻技术保护源区,对预设漏区进行第二种离子注入;对完成离子注入的结构进行快速退火工艺,生成源区和漏区。

结合上述图6所对应实施例的内容,为了便于理解,本发明实施例以制备图4所示的TFET为例,对本发明实施例提供的TFET的制备方法进行详细说明。如图16所示,该制备方法包括以下步骤:

本发明实施例提供的TFET的制备方法,通过设置栅介质层的第一区域的厚度小于第二区域的厚度,而栅介质层的栅电容与厚度成反比,从而使得栅介质层第一区域的栅电容大于第二区域的栅电容,从而使得位于源区上方的栅介质层的栅电容大于位于沟道区上方的栅介质层的栅电容,使得相对于源区与沟道区上的栅介质层具有相同栅电压的情况,减小了栅极对于点隧穿结的调控能力,进而增加了由源区与口袋层形成的点隧穿所需的开启电压,因而能够延缓或者推迟点隧穿的开启,使得线隧穿主宰整个器件的开启,确保TFEF具有比较陡峭的亚阈值特性,进而使得TFET的功耗比较小。
