Description
本发明涉及半导体集成电路应用器件领域,具体涉及一种负电容无结纳米线场效应晶体管及其制造方法。
MOS器件遵循“摩尔定律”,特征尺寸持续按比例微缩,基于PN结的MOS场效应晶体管器件弊端越来越明显:例如,为了减小器件尺寸,使器件的源漏距离不断缩短,造成源漏穿通,产生短沟道效应,使得器件的栅控能力变差,器件性能及可靠性严重退化;现有技术中提出制作超陡PN结的方法防止源漏穿通,以避免短沟道效应,但是,由于掺杂原子难以统计分布且掺杂原子易扩散等原因,在纳米尺度范围内制作超陡PN结异常困难,使得该方法造价高、实用性低。
为克服结型场效应晶体管器件在纳米尺度范围所面临的难以逾越的障碍,提出了无结的纳米线场效应晶体管。目前常用的无结的纳米线场效应晶体管结构有两种,一种是传统的掺杂型无结器件;另一种是基于charge-plasma结构的无结器件。
第一种是传统的无结器件,其依靠源漏区内部重掺杂,利用栅极偏置电压来改变垂直于导电沟道的电场强度,使沟道内的多数载流子累计或者耗尽,从而调制沟道电导以控制沟道电流。传统的掺杂型无结器件的工作原理与掺杂浓度密切相关,而掺杂浓度非常容易受到掺杂工艺波动的影响,导致掺杂浓度不一致,从而影响到该结构器件的电学性能的稳定性,并由此限制了该结构器件在电路中的应用。
第二种是基于charge-plasma结构的无结器件,基于charge-plasma结构的无结器件的结构包括无结纳米线,沿所述无结纳米线轴线上定义为源区、沟道区和漏区;所述源区和漏区的外表面全覆盖有源漏金属层,并且源区和漏区与源漏金属之间部分具有源漏介质层,该种器件工作原理是:通过控制源漏金属层与栅极金属层的功函数来调节晶体管的类型,并且通过源漏金属层在源漏区域内部诱导载流子,负责诱导出载流子的金属层与体硅(也就是无结纳米线)之间由源漏电介质隔开,在源漏区表面没有覆盖源漏电介质层的部分形成载流子通路,使得器件工作。由 于使该种器件工作原理与源漏区中的掺杂无关,因此,该器件不仅摆脱了掺杂工艺的影响,而且能达到所需功能,因此,基于charge-plasma结构的无结器件成为无结的纳米线场效应晶体管的主流结构。
但是,现有技术中的charge-plasma结构的无结器件在应用时,开态电流小,开启速度较慢,并且功耗高,因此,现有技术中的charge-plasma结构的无结器件的电学性能有待提高。

下面通过具体实施方式结合附图对本发明作进一步详细说明。其中不同实施方式中类似元件采用了相关联的类似的元件标号。在以下的实施方式中,很多细节描述是为了使得本申请能被更好的理解。然而,本领域技术人员可以毫不费力的认识到,其中部分特征在不同情况下是可以省略的,或者可以由其他元件、材料、方法所替代。在某些情况下,本申请相关的一些操作并没有在说明书中显示或者描述,这是为了避免本申请的核心部分被过多的描述所淹没,而对于本领域技术人员而言,详细描述这些相关操作并不是必要的,他们根据说明书中的描述以及本领域的一般技术知识即可完整了解相关操作。
另外,说明书中所描述的特点、操作或者特征可以以任意适当的方式结合形成各种实施方式。同时,方法描述中的各步骤或者动作也可以按照本领域技术人员所能显而易见的方式进行顺序调换或调整。因此,说明书和附图中的各种顺序只是为了清楚描述某一个实施例,并不意味着是必须的顺序,除非另有说明其中某个顺序是必须遵循的。
本文中为部件所编序号本身,例如“第一”、“第二”等,仅用于区分所描述的对象,不具有任何顺序或技术含义。而本申请所说“连接”、“联接”,如无特别说明,均包括直接和间接连接(联接)。
由背景技术可知,随着工艺节点走向更小,对场效应晶体管也提出了很多苛刻的要求,比如能够在较小的节点电压下迅速地开启以及具备极低的泄漏电流从而满足低功耗方面的应用。但是现有技术中的charge-plasma结构的无结器件在应用时,开启速度较慢,功耗较高,电学性能还有待提高。
经分析可知,charge-plasma结构的无结器件工作在积累区的时候,如果能够提高该半导体器件的表面电势就可以大幅度的提高其驱动电流;当无结器件工作在耗尽区的时候,如果能够降低该半导体器件的表面电势就可以有效地减小泄漏电流。
并且,随着特征尺寸的减小,电压节点也越来越小,保证半导体器件在较小的供给电压下能够正常的开启和关闭变得更加重要,决定这一 关键问题的因素就是亚阈值斜率(SS),然而,基于电子热发射理论的半导体器件的亚阈值斜率会存在一个最小极限——玻尔兹曼极限(60mV/dec),传统charge-plasma器件也同样面临这个极限。而且随着尺寸越来越小,短沟道效应越来越严重,亚阈值斜率也会越来越大,如何获得较陡的亚阈值斜率也成为一个重要挑战。

图13A为本实施例提供的负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma纳米线场效应晶体管与传统双栅charge-plasma纳米线场效应晶体管的转移特性曲线对比图;图13B为本实施例提供的负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma纳米线场效应晶体管与积累型双栅charge-plasma纳米线场效应晶体管的转移特性曲线对比图。
如图13A和13B所示:
1)对于驱动电流来说,负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma结构相比于积累型双栅Charge-plasma结构能够提高超过2倍,而相比于传统Charge-plasma纳米线无结器件,本发明提供的负电容晶体管更是将驱动电流提高了约90倍,大的驱动电流能够保证快的快关速度,从而本发明提供的负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma结构有着很好的高速开关应用前景。
2)对于泄漏电流,负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma结构能够将泄漏电流减小5个数量级以上,从而证明本发明提供的负电容积累型双栅 Charge-plasma结构有着良好的低功耗电路应用前景。
3)对于亚阈值斜率(SS),本发明提供的负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma结构能够使器件的亚阈值斜率突破传统器件玻尔兹曼极限(60mV/dec),使亚阈值斜率由76mV/dec降到54mV/dec,优化了约41%,保证了该类型器件在低压低功耗电路中的应用。

图14A和图14B分别为负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma纳米线场效应晶体管与传统积累型双栅charge-plasma纳米线场效应晶体管沟道电势分布和载流子分布示意图;
如图14A所示:
当器件处于关态时,负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma纳米线场效应晶体管有着相比于传统积累型双栅Charge-plasma结构更低的表面电势,所以会有更低的泄漏电流;而在器件处于开态时,负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma纳米线场效应晶体管有着相比于传统积累型双栅Charge-plasma结构更高的表面电势,所以会有更高的驱动电流。
如14B所示:
由于图14A中的电势分布引起的载流子浓度分布。可以看到器件开启的时候,由于负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma纳米线场效应晶体管有更高的表面电势,所以载流子浓度会相对较高,开态电流也随之提高;当器件关闭的时候,由于负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma纳米线场效应晶体管有更低的表面电势,所以载流子浓度会相对较低,泄露电流也变得更小。
由上述结果可知,本发明提出的负电容积累型双栅Charge-plasma纳米线场效应晶体管可以大幅提高晶体管的驱动电流、跨导和电流开关比;可以有效地降低器件的泄漏电流和亚阈值斜率。也就是说本发明中的负电容器件有更好的高速开关、低功耗、高增益等电路应用前景。
