相关申请的交叉引用
本公开基于申请号为202011294003.2、申请日为2020年11月18日、申请名称为“半导体器件及其制备方法”的中国专利申请提出,并要求该中国专利申请的优先权,该中国专利申请的全部内容在此以全文引入的方式引入本公开。
本公开实施例涉及半导体技术领域,尤其涉及一种半导体器件及其制备方法。
存储器(Memory)是现代信息技术中用于保存信息的记忆设备。随着各类电子设备对集成度和数据存储密度的需求的不断提高,普通的二维存储器件越来越难以满足要求,在这种情况下,三维(3D)存储器应运而生。
在三维存储器的制备中,主要是通过在衬底上形成堆叠结构,并在衬底平面方向上将堆叠结构划分为存储区(core region)以及台阶区(stair-step region),在存储区以及台阶区,会设置若干沟道孔(Channel Hole,CH),并分别填充对应的材料以实现存储功能和支撑功能。
现有技术下,为了降低工艺难度,会先制作存储区的沟道孔,然后再制作台阶区的沟道孔。但是,由于存储区的沟道孔先刻蚀成形并填实,此时会有电荷储存在存储区的沟道孔中,当进行台阶区的沟道孔刻蚀时,存储区沟道孔中的电荷对台阶区的沟道孔会产生吸引力的作用,从而导致台阶区的沟道孔变形,这种变形会使得半导体器件产生漏电流,对器件的性 能造成影响。

本公开实施例针对现有的半导体器件,因为其存储区沟道柱的吸引力造成其台阶区沟道柱变形,而使得半导体器件产生漏电流,对半导体器件的性能造成影响的问题,本公开实施例实施例用以解决该问题。
请参阅图1以及图2,图1是根据本公开实施例而成的第一实施例所提供的半导体器件100的俯视结构示意图,图2是根据本公开实施例而成的第一实施例所提供的半导体器件100的正视结构示意图,该正视结构示意图为如图1所示的俯视结构示意图沿aa’的截面示意图,从图中可以很直观的看到根据本公开实施例而成的实施例的各组成部分,以及各组成部分的相对位置关系。
如图1以及图2所示,该半导体器件100包括衬底110、堆叠层120、沟道柱阵列130、虚拟沟道柱阵列140、栅极隔槽150以及设置于堆叠层120 上方的介质层170,其中:
衬底110可以为半导体衬底,具体包括至少一个单质半导体材料(例如:为硅(Si)衬底、锗(Ge)衬底)、至少一个III-V化合物半导体材料、至少一个II-VI化合物半导体材料、至少一个有机半导体材料或者在本领域已知的其他半导体材料;
堆叠层120设置于衬底110上方,且由绝缘层121和栅极层122交替层叠而成。其中,绝缘层121由绝缘材料制成,包括但不限于氧化硅、氮化硅、氮氧化硅或以上材料的组合,栅极层122由导电材料制成,包括但不限于钨(W)、钴(Co)、铜(Cu)、铝(AL)、掺杂硅、硅化物或以上材料的组合。在一些实施例中,堆叠层120沿平行于衬底110的第一横向X
1区分有沟道柱区A1、以及位于沟道柱区A1旁边的虚拟沟道柱区A2;
沟道柱阵列130形成于堆叠层120中且位于沟道柱区A1,并包括在第一横向X
1与在平行于衬底110且垂直于第一横向X
1的第二横向X
2上呈阵列排列的多个过渡沟道柱131和存储沟道柱132。
在一些实施例中,在过渡沟道柱131内壁和存储沟道柱132的内壁依次形成有功能层和沟道层,但该过渡沟道柱131只起支撑作用而不起存储作用,存储沟道柱132起到存储作用。例如存储沟道柱132与外围电路连接,以接收来自外围电路的控制信号实现存储功能。功能层包括堆叠的隧穿介质层、电荷储存层和栅介质层,栅介质层和隧穿介质层的示例性材料为氧化硅、氮化硅、高绝缘常数的绝缘材料或以上材料的组合,电荷储存层的示例性材料为氮化硅、氮氧化硅、硅或以上材料的组合。
本申请实施例对过渡沟道柱131中填充的材料不做限定。在一些实施例中,过渡沟道柱131中填充的材料可以是和存储沟道柱132中填充的功能层、沟道层一起填充。例如,过渡沟道柱131填充的功能层与存储沟道柱132填充的功能层是在同一道或同多道工艺步骤中完成,过渡沟道柱131 填充的沟道层与存储沟道柱132填充的沟道层也是在同一道或同多道工艺步骤中完成。在另一些实施例中,过渡沟道柱131中填充的材料可以是和存储沟道柱132中填充的材料不同,例如过渡沟道柱131中填充的材料可以是二氧化硅或其它绝缘材料,存储沟道柱132中填充材料为功能层、沟道层。
在本申请的另一些实施例中,沟道柱区A1中可包含存储沟道柱132,存储沟道柱132可以和栅极隔槽150相邻。
在一些实施例中,过渡沟道柱131位于存储沟道柱132和虚拟沟道柱141之间,过渡沟道柱131的关键尺寸大于存储沟道柱132的关键尺寸。过渡沟道柱131的关键尺寸可以是过渡沟道柱131的中心到过渡沟道柱131的边缘的距离,存储沟道柱132的关键尺寸可以是存储沟道柱132的中心到存储沟道柱132的边缘的距离。过渡沟道柱131具有较大的关键尺寸,可以提供较大的支撑面积,来提高对半导体器件的支撑作用。
虚拟沟道柱阵列140形成于堆叠层120中且位于虚拟沟道柱区A2,并包括在第一横向X
1与第二横向X
2上呈阵列排列的多个虚拟沟道柱141,具体地,该多个虚拟沟道柱141设置于堆叠层120所形成的阶梯区。在一些实施例中,虚拟沟道柱141起支撑作用,具体地,虚拟沟道柱141中填充的材料可以是二氧化硅或其它绝缘材料;
栅极隔槽150形成于堆叠层120中并沿第二横向X
2延伸,且设置于沟道柱阵列130与虚拟沟道柱阵列140之间,具体地,栅极隔槽150位于虚拟沟道柱区A2。
在一些实施例中,如图2所示,栅极隔槽150包括多个且沿第一横向X
1间隔排布,并由沟道柱阵列130向虚拟沟道柱阵列140的方向上的排布密度逐渐减小。
在一些实施例中,栅极隔槽150在第一横向X
1上的截面形状包括矩形、 梯形、半圆形其中至少之一,且该截面形状为靠近沟道柱区A1的形状,且栅极隔槽150面向虚拟沟道柱阵列140的一侧为一平面,在本实施例中,如图1所示,栅极隔槽150在第一横向X
1上的截面形状为矩形。
在一些实施例中,请继续参阅图1,如图1所示,半导体器件100还包括栅线狭缝160,栅线狭缝160沿垂直于衬底110的纵向贯穿堆叠层120,且沿第一横向X
1延伸,且栅极隔槽150与该栅线狭缝160的材料相同,栅极隔槽150与栅线狭缝160的示例性材料为多晶硅(Poly)以及钨(W)。
在本实施例中,因为栅极隔槽150将沟道柱阵列130与虚拟沟道柱阵列140隔开,且面向沟道柱阵列130与虚拟沟道柱阵列140的两侧是完整的平面,这样的设计方式可以较好地抵抗过渡沟道柱131功能层中的电荷对栅极隔槽150与虚拟沟道柱141的吸引力,从而避免了栅极隔槽150与虚拟沟道柱141的变形,不会使半导体器件100产生漏电流,提高了半导体器件100的性能。
在一些实施例中,为了防止过渡沟道柱131功能层中的电荷的吸引力的突变,在本实施例中,沟道柱阵列130中的过渡沟道柱131的排布密度沿所述第一横向X
1向虚拟沟道柱区A2逐渐减小,且过渡沟道柱131具有关键尺寸CD(Critical Dimension),该关键尺寸CD为过渡沟道柱131的中心到所述过渡沟道柱131的边缘的距离,多个过渡沟道柱131的关键尺寸CD沿第一横向X
1向虚拟沟道柱区A2逐渐增大。
请参阅图3,图3是根据本公开实施例而成的第一实施例所提供的半导体器件100的制备方法的流程示意图。

如图4所示,该第二实施例与第一实施例的结构大致相同,其中,第二实施例中的衬底210与第一实施例中的衬底110的作用以及设置位置相同;第二实施例中的堆叠层220(包括交替层叠设置的绝缘层221和栅极层222)与第一实施例中的堆叠层120(包括交替层叠设置的绝缘层121和栅极层122)的作用以及设置位置相同;第二实施例中的沟道柱阵列230(包括多个过渡沟道柱231和多个存储沟道柱232)与第一实施例中的沟道柱阵列130(包括多个过渡沟道柱131和多个存储沟道柱132)的作用以及设置位置相同;第二实施例中的虚拟沟道柱阵列240(包括多个虚拟沟道柱241)与第一实施例中的虚拟沟道柱阵列140(包括多个虚拟沟道柱141)的作用以及设置位置相同;第二实施例中的栅线狭缝260与第一实施例中的栅线狭缝160的作用以及设置位置相同;第二实施例中的介质层270与第一实施例中的介质层170的作用以及设置位置相同。其不同之处在于本实施例中的栅极隔槽250的设置方式与第一实施例中的栅极隔槽150的设置方式不同,在本实施例中,如图4所示,栅极隔槽250包括多个且沿第二横向X
