本公开的一个实施例提供了一种半导体结构,请参考图1,半导体结构包括:半导体基体10,半导体基体10上设置有栓塞接触孔14,栓塞接触孔14底部的侧壁上设置有凹槽15,扩散阻挡层20设置在栓塞接触孔14的孔壁上,且填充凹槽15;导电栓塞30,导 电栓塞30设置在扩散阻挡层20内。
本公开一个实施例的半导体结构通过在半导体基体10内镶嵌扩散阻挡层20,从而增加了扩散阻挡层20与半导体基体10的接触面积,以此改善漏电流,提升半导体结构的稳定性。
具体的,半导体基体10上设置有栓塞接触孔14,可以理解为半导体基体10具有容纳槽孔,栓塞接触孔14具有一个开口,而凹槽15沿栓塞接触孔14的周向方向环绕栓塞接触孔14的孔壁设置,即在栓塞接触孔14的孔壁形成了一个环形凹槽,相对于栓塞接触孔14为内嵌凹槽。
扩散阻挡层20设置在栓塞接触孔14的孔壁上,即与凹槽15的开口相对的外侧也设置有扩散阻挡层20,而不是单纯的仅凹槽15内设置有扩散阻挡层20,即导电栓塞30的底端侧壁与半导体基体10之间的扩散阻挡层20相对较厚。
在一个实施例中,导电栓塞30可以是金属材料,例如,Cu、Al、W或其合金。
在一个实施例中,扩散阻挡层20可以包括Ta、Ti、Ru、TaN、TiN、RuTa、RuTaN、W或Ir等。扩散阻挡层20可以是防止导电材料扩散通过的任何其它材料。
在一个实施例中,半导体基体10包括:衬底11;介质层12,介质层12设置在衬底11上,介质层12具有第一通孔121;保护层13,保护层13设置在介质层12上方,保护层13具有第二通孔131,第一通孔121和第二通孔131相连通,第二通孔131朝向衬底11的垂直投影位于第一通孔121朝向衬底11的垂直投影内;其中,衬底11与保护层13之间形成凹槽15。

在一个实施例中,衬底11可以包括半导体衬底。半导体衬底可以由含硅材料形成。半导体衬底可以由任何合适的材料形成,例如,包括硅、单晶硅、多晶硅、非晶硅、硅锗、单晶硅锗、多晶硅锗以及碳掺杂硅中的至少一种。

在一个实施例中,保护层13可以包括SiO2、SiOC等材料。
在一个实施例中,凹槽15在第一方向上的深度为5nm~20nm,第一方向垂直第一通孔121的延伸方向。在覆盖于栓塞接触孔14孔壁上的扩散阻挡层20的厚度基础上,增加5nm~20nm厚度的扩散阻挡层20,以此提高导电栓塞30底部侧壁扩散阻挡层20的厚度,从而避免形成导电栓塞30的金属材料的扩散。
需要说明的是,第一通孔121的延伸方向即为垂直于衬底11的方向,故,第一方向可以理解为平行衬底11。相应地,第二方向垂直衬底11,因此,第一方向垂直于第二方向。垂直于衬底11可以理解为是垂直于衬底11的上表面。
需要注意的是,凹槽15内可均填充有扩散阻挡层20。
在一个实施例中,介质层12在第二方向上的厚度为20nm~200nm。
在一个实施例中,保护层13在第二方向上的厚度为50nm~500nm。

在一个实施例中,第一主体部21在第二方向上的厚度为10nm~50nm。
在一个实施例中,第二主体部31在第二方向上的厚度为100nm~800nm。
在一个实施例中,如图1所示,扩散阻挡层20包括第一扩散阻挡材料40和第二扩散阻挡材料44,第一扩散阻挡材料40填充于凹槽15内,第二扩散阻挡材料44覆盖第一扩散阻挡材料40的内壁和保护层13的内壁。
具体的,第一扩散阻挡材料40和第二扩散阻挡材料44可以是一体成型的,即一次成型于凹槽15和栓塞接触孔14内。或者,第一扩散阻挡材料40和第二扩散阻挡材料44是独立成型的,即在将第一扩散阻挡材料40填充于凹槽15后,在经过其他步骤之后,在将 第二扩散阻挡材料44成型于栓塞接触孔14内。
结合图1进行说明,扩散阻挡层20包括第一扩散阻挡材料40和第二扩散阻挡材料44,扩散阻挡层20的第一主体部21包括部分的第二扩散阻挡材料44,即覆盖半导体基体10上表面的部分,而扩散阻挡层20的第一凸起部22包括其他的第二扩散阻挡材料44和全部的第一扩散阻挡材料40。
本公开的半导体结构通过将扩散阻挡层20的部分内嵌入半导体基体10中,以此平衡导电栓塞30形成的金属应力以应对高密度的电流冲刷,从而提升半导体结构的稳定性。

需要说明的是,衬底11可以选择含硅材料的半导体衬底。半导体衬底可以由任何合适的材料形成,例如,包括硅、单晶硅、多晶硅、非晶硅、硅锗、单晶硅锗、多晶硅锗以及碳掺杂硅中的至少一种。
在一个实施例中,如图3所示,使介质材料42覆盖衬底11后,蚀刻介质材料42,从而在介质材料42上蚀刻出第一通孔121,并露出衬底11的上表面,如图4所示,此时在衬底11上形成具有第一通孔121的介质层12。
