具体实施方式
随着存储器的集成度增加,随机存取存储器因为元件本身的尺寸很小,所以往往会因为工艺限制而影响有源区的面积,使得栅极的控制能力以及沟道宽度受限,从而导致半导体器件开启电压偏高、开启速度偏慢、工作电流较低,进而影响元件本身的效能。
为使本发明的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施方式做详细的说明。在下面的描述中阐述了很多具体细节以便于充分理解本发明。但是本发明能够以很多不同于在此描述的其它方式来实施,本领域技术人员可以在不违背本发明内涵的情况下做类似改进,因此本发明不受下面公开的具体实施的限制。
请参见图1,本发明实施例提供了一种半导体器件的制作方法,包括:
步骤S110,提供半导体基板100,所述半导体基板100中具有浅沟槽隔离结构STI和平行设置的多个有源区AA,请参见图2;
步骤S120,在所述半导体基板100中形成第一字线沟槽结构G1,请参见图3;
步骤S130,在所述第一字线沟槽结构G1底部形成第一牺牲层200,请参见图4;
步骤S140,利用外延生长法填满位于所述有源区AA内的所述第一字线沟槽结构G1,请参见图5;
步骤S150,形成第一绝缘层300,所述第一绝缘层300覆盖所述半导体基板100的顶部和位于浅沟槽隔离结构STI中的所述第一字线沟槽结构G1,并将所述第一字线沟槽结构G1封口,请参见图6;
步骤S160,在所述有源区AA内形成第二字线沟槽结构G2和鳍型结构400,所述第二字线沟槽结构G2的深度小于所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的深度,且所述第二字线沟槽结构G2在竖直方向上的投影与所述第一牺牲层200在竖直方向上的投影完全重叠,请参见图7;
步骤S170,去除所述第一牺牲层200,在所述半导体基板100中形成字线隧道G3与所述第一字线沟槽结构G1连通,请参见图8;
步骤S180,对所述第一字线沟槽结构G1、所述第二字线沟槽结构G2和所述字线隧道G3进行填充,以形成埋入式字线结构500,所述埋入式字线结构500环绕所述鳍型结构400,请参见图9-10。
本实施例中,通过先形成第一字线沟槽结构G1,然后在所述第一字线沟槽结构G1底部形成第一牺牲层200,并利用外延生长法填充位于所述有源区AA内的所述第一字线沟槽结构G1,再通过刻蚀形成所述第二字线沟槽结构G2,其次通过刻蚀所述第一牺牲层200形成字线隧道G3与所述第一字线沟槽结构G1连通,最后通过在所述第一字线沟槽结构G1、所述第二字线沟槽结构G2和所述字线隧道G3中填充铝、钨、铜或钛铝合金等具有低阻值的金属导电材料,以形成埋入式字线结构500,所述埋入式字线结构500环绕所述鳍型结构400。由于所述鳍型结构400被所述埋入式字线结构500环绕,因此可以提升切换效能,降低其阈值电压,以及提高其工作电流,有利于提升刷新效能。
在其中一个实施例中,所述半导体基板100为SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator,绝缘衬底上的硅)基板,包括硅材料层110、背衬底130以及夹设在所述硅材料层110和所述背衬底130之间的氧化材料层120。
可以理解,本实施例中采用SOI基板,在刻蚀所述第一字线沟槽结构G1 的过程中可以利用所述氧化材料层120作为刻蚀停止层,便于控制第一字线沟槽结构G1的深度。并且,所述氧化材料层120可以消除衬底基板中的漏电流影响,进一步提高半导体器件的效能。所述硅材料层110可以是未掺杂的硅材料层110或掺杂的硅材料层110,掺杂的硅材料层110可以是经过N型或P型掺杂的硅材料层110。
在其中一个实施例中,所述在所述半导体基板100中形成第一字线沟槽结构G1,包括:
在所述半导体基板100上形成光刻胶层;
在所述光刻胶层中形成与所述第一字线沟槽结构G1相匹配的目标图案;
以图案化的所述光刻胶层为掩膜层,以所述氧化材料层120为刻蚀停止层对所述硅材料层110进行刻蚀,形成所述第一字线沟槽结构G1;以及
去除剩余的所述光刻胶层。
本实施例中,利用旋转涂布法,在所述硅材料层110的表面涂覆一层光刻胶,形成所述光刻胶层,利用激光器通过光罩照射所述光刻胶层,引起曝光区域的光刻胶发生化学反应;再通过显影技术溶解去除曝光区域或未曝光区域的光刻胶(前者称正性光刻胶,后者称负性光刻胶),将光罩上的图案转移到光刻胶层,形成目标图案;然后,以图案化的所述光刻胶层为掩膜层,以所述氧化材料层120为刻蚀停止层对所述硅材料层110进行刻蚀,形成所述第一字线沟槽结构G1;最后去除掉剩余的光刻胶层,形成所述第一字线沟槽结构G1。
在其中一个实施例中,所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的宽度为10~25nm。
可以理解,后续要在所述第一字线沟槽结构G1中形成第一牺牲层200,因此必需要考虑所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的深宽比,避免在填充形成所述第一牺牲层200材料时提前封口,进而形成空洞,要将所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的深宽比控制在合理的范围内。本实施例,所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的深度等于所述硅材料层110的厚度,一般在100~200nm,因此可将所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的宽度设置在10~25nm范围内,进而将其深宽比控制在4~20nm范围内,避免在所述第一牺牲层200中产生空洞。本实施中所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的宽度为21~23nm。
在其中一个实施例中,所述第一牺牲层200由相对于所述硅材料层110 和所述氧化材料层120具有刻蚀选择比大于1的材料形成。
可以理解,采用相对于所述硅材料层110和所述氧化材料层120具有刻蚀选择比大于1的材料形成所述第一牺牲层200时,可通过选用合适的刻蚀气体,采用干法刻蚀对形成第一牺牲层200的材料进行快速的刻蚀,且对硅材料层110和浅沟槽隔离结构STI的刻蚀较慢,硅材料层110和浅沟槽隔离结构STI几乎不受刻蚀。本实施例中,采用氮化硅形成第一牺牲层200;此外还可以采用其它的与Si和SiO的刻蚀比大于1的绝缘材料代替所述氮化硅。
在其中一个实施例中,所述在所述第一字线沟槽结构G1底部形成第一牺牲层200,包括:
在形成所述金属阻挡层的半导体基板100上,利用原子层沉积技术沉积氮化硅材料以形成填充所述第一字线沟槽结构G1并覆盖所述半导体基板100的氮化硅材料层110;
对所述氮化硅材料层110进行回刻蚀,控制剩余的所述氮化硅材料层的厚度为20~80nm,形成所述第一牺牲层200。
本实施例中,利用原子层沉积技术沉积氮化硅材料以形成填充所述第一字线沟槽结构G1并覆盖所述半导体基板100的氮化硅材料层110。然后,刻蚀掉所述半导体基板100顶面上的氮化硅,并将所述第一字线沟槽结构G1内的氮化硅刻蚀至预设高度范围内,形成所述第一牺牲层200。此外,还可以其它的沉积方式形成所述氮化硅材料层110,如化学气相沉积(CVD)、低压CVD(LPCVD)、等离子体增强CVD(PECVD)以及原子层沉积(ALD)等。
在其中一个实施例中,所述第一牺牲层200的高度H1为20~80nm。
具体设计方案中,所述第一牺牲层200的高度范围为20~80nm。由于所述第一牺牲层200的厚度决定了鳍型结构400的最低高端,决定导电沟道的位置,一般不能太小,以防止后续填充金属材料时出现空隙。因此本实施例中将所述第一牺牲层200的高度范围限制在20~80nm。在一些实施例中,所述第一牺牲层200的高度H1为50~70nm。具体地,所述第一牺牲层200的高度为50nm、55nm、60nm、65nm或70nm。
形成第一牺牲层200之后,利用外延生长法填满所述第一字线沟槽结构G1时,仅在硅材料层110的侧壁上固定生长单晶硅材料,进而实现填充位于 所述有源区AA内的所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的目的。同时生长出的单晶硅材料可与硅材料层110具有相同的特性,也可与硅材料层110具有不同的导电率等特性。其次,400~500℃条件下,利用沉积工艺以15~20nm/s的速率沉积氧化硅材料,并对所述第一字线沟槽结构G1进行封口,以形成所述第一绝缘层。一般地,位于所述半导体基板100表面上的所述绝缘层的厚度为50~150nm;本实施例中,将所述绝缘层的厚度设置在50~150nm范围内。然后,对所述绝缘层和所述半导体基板100进行刻蚀,形成第二字线沟槽结构G2。本实施例中,利用干法刻蚀工艺对所述绝缘层和所述半导体基板100进行刻蚀,由于所述硅材料层110侧壁的几何效应,所述硅材料层110侧壁上的形成浅沟槽隔离结构STI的氧化硅材料不会被刻蚀掉。
在其中一个实施例中,利用湿法刻蚀工艺去除所述第一牺牲层200。
本实施例中,所述第一牺牲层200采用氮化硅材料制作,由于部分氮化硅材料位于鳍型结构400的下方,无法利用干刻刻蚀,所以采用热磷酸在80~120℃温度条件下去除氮化硅材料,或者采用高温磷酸在150~200℃温度条件下去除氮化硅材料。
在其中一个实施例中,所述对所述第一字线沟槽结构G1、所述第二字线沟槽结构G2和所述字线隧道G3中进行填充,以形成埋入式字线结构500,如图9所示,包括:
在所述第二字线沟槽结构G2的侧壁和底部以及所述字线隧道G3的侧壁和顶部形成栅氧化层510;
在形成所述栅氧化层510的半导体基板100上形成金属阻挡层520,所述金属阻挡层520覆盖所述栅氧化层510、所述第一绝缘层300和所述浅沟槽隔离结构STI;
在所述第一字线沟槽结构G1、所述第二字线沟槽结构G2和所述字线隧道G3中填充金属导电材料,以形成金属导电层530;
对所述金属阻挡层520以及所述第一字线沟槽结构G1和所述第二字线沟槽结构G2内的所述金属导电材料回刻蚀至预设高度,以形成所述埋入式字线结构500。
本实施例中,所述埋入式字线结构500包括栅氧化层510、金属阻挡层520和金属导电层530。所述金属导电层530为钨材料层,此外还可以采用铝、 铜或钛铝合金等具有低阻值的金属材料替代。所述金属阻挡层520采用氮化钛(TiN)材料制作。氮化钛材料层与栅氧化层510的组合相比于单独设置栅氧化层510,有利于提高介电常数、缩小栅长度、提高驱动电流以及降低阈值电压。所述栅氧化层510是利用原位水汽生长(in-situ steam generation,ISSG)技术生长的。此外,还可以利用原子层沉积或者其他热氧化法生长所述栅氧化层510。
请参见图11,在其中一个实施例中,所述制作方法还包括:
在形成所述埋入式字线结构500的半导体基板100上形成第二绝缘层600,所述第二绝缘层600覆盖所述第一绝缘层300和所述埋入式字线结构500。
本实施例中,采用沉积工艺在形成所述埋入式字线结构500的半导体基板100上沉积氮化硅材料,填充所述第一字线沟槽结构G1和第二字线沟槽结构G2,并覆盖所述第一绝缘层300。在所述第一绝缘层300上方,所述第二绝缘层600的厚度为20~50nm;在一些实施例中,所述第二绝缘层600的厚度为40nm、45nm或50nm。由于氮化硅材料具有良好的绝缘性能,因此除了通过增加绝缘层厚度防止漏电外,通常选择氮化硅材料制作所述第二绝缘层600。此外,所述第二绝缘层600还可以采用氮氧化硅、氮碳化硅或其他适合的绝缘材料制作,但不以此为限。
基于同一发明构思,本发明实施例还提供了一种半导体器件,请再次参见图11,所述半导体器件包括:半导体基板100、埋入式字线结构500和鳍型结构400。

所述埋入式字线结构500位于所述半导体基板100内,沿第一方向延伸,跨过多个所述浅沟槽隔离结构STI和所述有源区AA。
所述鳍型结构400位于所述有源区AA与所述埋入式字线结构500相交的区域中,且所述埋入式字线结构500环绕包覆所述鳍型结构400。
本发明的半导体器件具有形成有鳍型结构和环绕所述鳍型结构400的所述埋入式字线结构500,由于所述鳍型结构400被所述埋入式字线结构500环绕,因此可以提升切换效能,降低其阈值电压,以及提高其工作电流,有 利于提升刷新效能。
在其中一个实施例中,所述半导体基板100为SOI(Silicon-On-Insulator,绝缘衬底上的硅)基板,包括硅材料层110、背衬底130以及夹设在所述硅材料层110和所述背衬底130之间的氧化材料层120。
可以理解,本实施例中采用SOI基板,在刻蚀所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的过程中可以利用所述氧化材料层120作为刻蚀停止层,便于控制第一字线沟槽结构G1的深度。并且,所述氧化材料层120可以消除衬底基板中的漏电流影响,进一步提高半导体器件的效能。所述硅材料层110可以是未掺杂的硅材料层110或掺杂的硅材料层110,掺杂的硅材料层110可以是经过N型或P型掺杂的硅材料层110。
在其中一个实施例中,位于所述鳍型结构400下方的所述埋入式字线结构500的高度为20~80nm。
具体设计方案中,所述第一牺牲层200的高度范围为20~80nm。由于所述第一牺牲层200的厚度决定了鳍型结构400的最低高端,决定导电沟道的位置,一般不能太小,以防止后续填充金属材料时出现空隙。因此本实施例中将所述第一牺牲层200的高度范围限制在20~80nm。在一些实施例中,所述第一牺牲层200的高度H1为50~70nm。具体地,所述第一牺牲层200的高度为50nm、55nm、60nm、65nm或70nm
在其中一个实施例中,位于所述鳍型结构上方的所述埋入式字线结构的高度为10~100nm。
一般来说,形成的第二沟槽结构的深度为50~150nm,在对所述第二沟槽结构填充并进行回刻蚀后,所述第二沟槽结构中回刻蚀的高度一般为50~100nm,位于所述鳍型结构上方的所述埋入式字线结构的高度范围为10~100nm,具体深度应根据需要进行设定。在一些实施例中,具体制作工艺中在所述硅衬底中形成的所述第二沟槽结构的深度为90~110nm,在对所述第二沟槽结构填充并进行回刻蚀后,所述第二沟槽结构中回刻蚀的高度一般为64~75nm,位于所述鳍型结构上方的所述埋入式字线结构的高度为30~45nm。在一些实施例中,所述位于所述鳍型结构上方的所述埋入式字线结构的高度为30nm、35nm、40nm或45nm。通过控制所述第二沟槽结构的深度可确定导电沟道的位置,通过控制所述第二沟槽结构中回刻蚀的高度可调节 所述埋入式字线结构的阻值。
在其中一个实施例中,所述埋入式字线结构500包括金属导电层530,所述金属导电层530与所述鳍型结构400绝缘设置,且环绕包覆所述鳍型结构400。本实施例中,所述金属导电层530为钨材料层,此外还可以采用铝、铜或钛铝合金等具有低阻值的金属材料替代。
在其中一个实施例中,所述埋入式字线结构500还包括:
栅氧化层510,设置于所述衬底基板面向所述金属导电层530的表面上,包覆所埋入式字线结构500;和
金属阻挡层520,设置于所述栅氧化层510与所述金属导电层530之间。
本实施例中,所述金属阻挡层520采用氮化钛(TiN)材料制作。氮化钛材料层与栅氧化层510的组合相比于单独设置栅氧化层510,有利于提高介电常数、缩小栅长度、提高驱动电流以及降低阈值电压。所述栅氧化层510是利用原位水汽生长技术形成的。此外,还可以利用原子层沉积或者其他热氧化法生长所述栅氧化层510。
在其中一个实施例中,所述埋入式字线结构500的宽度为10~25nm。
可以理解,后续要在所述第一字线沟槽结构G1中形成第一牺牲层200,因此必需要考虑所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的深宽比,避免在填充形成所述第一牺牲层200材料时提前封口,进而形成空洞,要将所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的深宽比控制在合理的范围内。本实施例,所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的深度等于所述硅材料层110的厚度,一般在100~200nm,因此可将所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的宽度设置在10~25nm范围内,进而将其深宽比控制在4~20范围内,避免在所述第一牺牲层200中产生空洞。本实施中所述第一字线沟槽结构G1的宽度为21~23nm。
在其中一个实施例中,所述半导体器件还包括绝缘层(300,600),其包括第一绝缘层300和第二绝缘层600。所述第二绝缘层600覆盖所述第一绝缘层300和所述埋入式字线结构500。
本实施例中,在所述第一绝缘层300上方,所述第二绝缘层600的厚度为20~50nm;在其他一些实施例中,所述第二绝缘层600的厚度为40nm、45nm或50nm。由于氮化硅材料具有良好的绝缘性能,因此除了通过增加绝缘层厚度防止漏电外,通常选择氮化硅材料制作所述第二绝缘层600。此外, 所述第二绝缘层600还可以采用氮氧化硅、氮碳化硅或其他适合的绝缘材料制作,但不以此为限。
以上所述实施例的各技术特征可以进行任意的组合,为使描述简洁,未对上述实施例中的各个技术特征所有可能的组合都进行描述,然而,只要这些技术特征的组合不存在矛盾,都应当认为是本说明书记载的范围。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本发明的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对发明专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本发明的保护范围。因此,本发明专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
