本发明涉及半导体技术领域,具体而言涉及一种LDMOS器件及其制造方法和电子装置。
背景技术
传统的高压器件结构通常通过调整多晶硅长度,将多晶硅扩展到漂移区的场板氧化层上面充当场板,场板对漂移区进行耗尽形成耗尽层,因此增加了横向耗尽层宽度,进而提高耐压(也即击穿电压)。同时,还需为高压器件漂移区中漏极与栅极之间选择合适的场板氧化层厚度,而所需的场板氧化层厚度皆是单一厚度或者藉由寄生的氧化物(例如,设置在漏极和栅极之间的漂移区中的浅沟槽隔离结构(STI)等)来实现。然而STI的使用虽然能够提高器件的耐压,但是其使导通电阻增大。

步骤S2,形成金属硅化物阻挡层,其中,所述金属硅化物阻挡层覆盖所述栅极结构和所述漏极之间的至少部分所述半导体衬底的表面;
步骤S3,在至少部分所述金属硅化物阻挡层的表面上形成第一接触孔。
下面参考图1A至图1G、图2对本发明的LDMOS器件的制造方法做详细描述,其中,图1A至图1G示出了本发明一个实施方式的LDMOS器件的制造方法的相关步骤所获得的器件的剖面示意图;图2示出了本发明一个实施方式的LDMOS器件的制造方法的工艺流程图。
具体地,本发明的LDMOS器件的制造方法包括以下步骤:
首先,执行步骤一,提供半导体衬底,在所述半导体衬底中形成有漂移区,在所述半导体衬底的部分表面上形成有栅极结构,所述栅极结构覆盖部分所述漂移区的表面,在所述栅极结构两侧的半导体衬底中分别形成有源极和漏极,其中,所述漏极设置在所述漂移区内并与所述栅极结构之间存在间隔。
示例性地,如图1A所示,提供半导体100,半导体衬底100的构成材料可以采用未掺杂的单晶硅、掺杂有杂质的单晶硅、绝缘体上硅(SOI)、绝缘体上层叠硅(SSOI)、绝缘体上层叠锗化硅(S-SiGeOI)、绝缘体上锗化硅 (SiGeOI)以及绝缘体上锗(GeOI)等。作为示例,在本实施例中,半导体衬底100的构成材料选用单晶硅。
所述半导体衬底100还可以为P型半导体衬底或者N型半导体衬底,例如N型高压器件则可选择使用P型半导体衬底,而P型高压器件则可选择使用N型半导体衬底,本实施例中,所述半导体衬底100为P型半导体衬底。
示例性地,在所述半导体衬底中形成有浅沟槽隔离结构(STI),以定义有源区。
示例性地,在所述半导体衬底100中设置有漂移区101。
根据具体的LDMOS器件的类型所述漂移区具有不同的导电类型,例如,若LDMOS器件为N型LDMOS器件,则漂移区101为N型漂移区,若LDMOS器件为P型LDMOS器件,则漂移区101为P型漂移区。
一般来说,漂移区的掺杂浓度较低,其低于源极和漏极的掺杂浓度,相当于在源极和漏极之间形成一个高阻层,能够提高击穿电压,并减小了源极和漏极之间的寄生电容,有利于提高频率特性。
可以使用合适的方法形成所述漂移区101,例如离子注入的方法,例如,若制备N型高压器件,则对所述半导体衬底100中预定形成漂移区101的区域进行N型离子掺杂,以在衬底内形成N型漂移区,若制备P型高压器件,则对半导体衬底100进行P型离子掺杂,形成P型漂移区。
掺杂一般是通过注入的方法实现。所需要的掺杂浓度越高,则注入过程中的注入剂量相应地也应该越高。一般来说,漂移区的掺杂浓度较低,相当于在源极和漏极之间形成一个高阻层,能够提高击穿电压,并减小了源极和漏极之间的寄生电容,有利于提高频率特性。例如,在根据本发明的一个实施例中,注入杂质为磷,漂移区的注入剂量可以为1.0×10 12~1.0×10 13cm -2
在一个示例中,还可在半导体衬底100中设置有体区102,体区102位于所述漂移区101的外侧,并与漂移区间隔,其中,体区和漂移区具有相反的导电类型,也即,漂移区为N型时,体区为P型,或者,漂移区为P型时,体区为N型。也可以使用例如离子注入的方法形成所述体区102,例如,预定形成P型体区,则通过离子注入向半导体衬底的预定形成体区的区域注入P型掺杂杂质例如硼。
示例性地,在形成所述体区和所述漂移区之前,在所述半导体衬底100中形成阱区,所述体区102和所述漂移区101均设置在所述阱区中,其中,该阱区具有和所述漂移区101相同的导电类型,并且该阱区的掺杂浓度低于 所述漂移区102的掺杂浓度,体区外侧的该阱区和漂移区102构成具有渐变的掺杂浓度的漂移区。
还可在半导体衬底100中形成其他的阱区等,在此不做赘述。
值得一提的是,可以先形成所述体区也可以先形成所述漂移区,在此不作具体限定。
在一个示例中,在所述半导体衬底100的部分表面上设置有栅极结构103。
其中,所述栅极结构103覆盖沟道区(例如部分体区102的表面),进一步地,栅极结构还覆盖部分漂移区101的表面。示例性地,栅极结构103包括位于半导体衬底100表面上的栅极介电层1031以及位于栅极介电层1031上的栅极层1032。
在一个示例中,形成栅极结构103的方法可以包括以下步骤:在半导体衬底100上依次形成栅极介电层和栅极层,图案化栅极介电层和所述栅极层以形成栅极结构103。栅极介电层1031可以包括传统的电介质材料诸如具有电介质常数从大约4到大约20(真空中测量)的硅的氧化物、氮化物和氮氧化物,或者,栅极介电层可以包括具有电介质常数从大约20到至少大约100的通常较高电介质常数电介质材料。这种较高电介质常数电解质材料可以包括但不限于:氧化铪、硅酸铪、氧化钛、钛酸锶钡(BSTs)和锆钛酸铅(PZTs)。栅极层1032由多晶硅材料组成,一般也可使用金属、金属氮化物、金属硅化物或类似化合物作为栅极层的材料,本实施例中,所述栅极层1032的材料包括多晶硅。
栅极层优选的形成方法包括化学气相沉积法(CVD),如低温化学气相沉积(LTCVD)、低压化学气相沉积(LPCVD)、快热化学气相沉积(LTCVD)、等离子体化学气相沉积(PECVD),也可使用例如溅镀及物理气相沉积(PVD)等一般相似方法。栅极层的厚度可以根据器件的尺寸使用适合的厚度,在此不做具体限制。
在一个示例中,在形成栅极结构之后,还可选择性地,在所述栅极结构103的侧壁上形成间隙壁104。所述间隙壁104可以为氧化硅、氮化硅、氮氧化硅中一种或者它们组合构成。作为本实施例的一中实施方式,所述间隙壁为氧化硅、氮化硅共同组成,具体工艺为:在半导体衬底上形成第一氧化硅层、第一氮化硅层以及第二氧化硅层,然后采用蚀刻方法形成间隙壁。
示例性地,随后,还可以进行离子注入,在体区中形成与体区导电类型 相同的体区引出区,例如,体区为P型,则体区引出区则也可以为P型,且其杂质掺杂浓度大于体区的杂质掺杂浓度,例如体区引出区为P型杂质重掺杂。
在一个示例中,在所述栅极结构103两侧的半导体衬底100中分别设置有源极1052和漏极1051,其中,所述漏极1051形成在所述漂移区101内并与所述栅极结构103之间存在间隔,所述源极1052形成在所述体区102中,所述源极1052以及所述漏极和所述漂移区101具有相同的导电类型,例如,所述漂移区为N型漂移区,所述漏极和所述源极则可以为N型源极和漏极,其还可以为N型掺杂离子重掺杂的源极和漏极。
更进一步地,所述漏极1051与邻近该漏极的所述间隙壁104之间存在间隔。
其中,形成所述源极和漏极的方法包括对半导体衬底中预定形成源极和漏极的区域执行源漏离子注入,在所述栅极结构103两侧的半导体衬底100中分别设置有源极1052和漏极1051,其中,可以通过利用光刻工艺首先形成暴露出预定形成源极和漏极的区域的图案化的光刻胶层,再以该图案化的光刻胶层为掩膜,进行源漏离子注入,最后利用例如灰化的方法去除所述图案化的光刻胶层。
随后,还可以进行退火工艺,示例性地,退火可以使用本领域技术人员熟知的任何的退火处理方法,包括但不限于快速热退火、炉管退火、峰值退火、激光退火等,例如,进行快速升温退火工艺,利用900至1050℃的高温来活化源极/漏极区域内的掺杂质,并同时修补在各离子注入工艺中受损的半导体衬底表面的晶格结构。此外,亦可视产品需求及功能性考量,另于源极/漏极区域与各栅极之间分别形成轻掺杂漏极(LDD)。
接着,执行步骤二,形成金属硅化物阻挡层,其中,所述金属硅化物阻挡层覆盖所述栅极结构和所述漏极之间的至少部分所述半导体衬底的表面。
示例性地,如图1C所示,金属硅化物阻挡层106覆盖所述栅极结构103和所述漏极1051之间的至少部分所述半导体衬底100的表面,也即覆盖栅极结构103和漏极1051之间的漂移区101的表面。
在一个示例中,所述金属硅化物阻挡层106覆盖部分所述栅极结构103的顶面以及所述栅极结构103和所述漏极1051之间的所述半导体衬底100的表面,也即,所述金属硅化物阻挡层106覆盖所述栅极结构103和所述漏极 1051之间的所述半导体衬底100的表面并延伸到部分所述栅极结构103的顶面上,在所述栅极结构103的侧壁上形成有间隙壁104时,所述金属硅化物阻挡层106还覆盖与所述漏极邻近的栅极结构103一侧壁上的间隙壁104。
在一个示例中,所述金属硅化物阻挡层106包括自下而上依次层叠的氧化物层、氮化物层和氮氧化物层,所述氧化物层例如包括氧化硅、所述氮化物层例如包括氮化硅、所述氮氧化物层包括氮氧化硅。

接着,如图1C所示,图案化所述金属硅化物阻挡材料层,以形成所述金属硅化物阻挡层106。
具体地,可首先在所述金属硅化物阻挡材料层上形成图案化的掩膜层,例如图案化的光刻胶层,该图案化的掩膜层定义预定形成的金属硅化物阻挡层106,然后以图案化的掩膜层为掩膜,蚀刻所述金属硅化物阻挡材料层停止于所述半导体衬底的表面,以形成所述金属硅化物阻挡层106,该蚀刻工艺可以使用干法蚀刻或者湿法蚀刻等方法实现对金属硅化物阻挡材料层的蚀刻,最后去除图案化的掩膜层。
其中,最终形成的金属硅化物阻挡层106露出了部分栅极结构顶面、漏极表面以及源极表面等,以便于后续形成金属硅化物。
随后,在所述源极、所述漏极和所述栅极结构露出的表面上形成金属硅 化物层。

在一个示例中,如图1D至1E所示,形成所述金属硅化物层107的方法包括以下步骤:首先,如图1D所示,沉积金属层107a,其可包含镍(nickel)、钴(cobalt)及铂(platinum)或其组合的材料。接着加热衬底,造成金属层与其下的硅层发生硅化作用,金属硅化物层107区域因而形成。接着使用可侵蚀金属层,但不致侵蚀金属硅化层区域的蚀刻剂,以将未反应的金属层除去。
随后,形成层间介电层,以覆盖所述栅极结构103、所述源极1052、所述漏极1051以及所述金属硅化物阻挡层106。

在一个示例中,所述第一接触孔1081贯穿所述金属硅化物阻挡层106上方的所述层间介电层109,所述第二接触孔1082贯穿所述源极1052上方的所述层间介电层109,所述第三接触孔1083贯穿所述漏极1051上方的所述层间介电层109。
至此完成了对本发明的LDMOS器件的制造方法的关键步骤的说明,对于完整的器件结构制备还可能需要其他的步骤,在此不做一一赘述。
综上所述,通过本发明的制造方法形成的LDMOS器件包括金属硅化物阻挡层,其覆盖栅极结构和所述漏极之间的至少部分所述半导体衬底的表面,以及设置在至少部分所述金属硅化物阻挡层的表面上的第一接触孔,进而增强漂移区的耗尽来提高器件的击穿电压,进而提高器件的性能,进一步地, 所述金属硅化物阻挡层106包括自下而上依次层叠的氧化物层、氮化物层和氮氧化物层,则所述第一接触孔的底部位于所述氮化物层中,例如,所述第一接触孔的底部位于所述氮化物层的表面,这样可以通过调整金属硅化物阻挡层106中的氮化物层下方的氧化物层的厚度来调节漂移区电场的耗尽,进而改善器件特性,另外本发明的LDMOS器件在漏端的漂移区内无需设置浅沟槽隔离结构,因此,大大降低了器件的导通电阻,并且本发明的方法无需增加光刻版,也不用重复利用光刻版来增加工艺步骤,工艺简单,容易控制。
