Description
本申请实施例涉及半导体技术领域,尤其涉及一种场效应管及其制造方法。
通常,在诸如金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor,MOSFET)的器件的制造工艺中,在保证器件电学性能以及满足芯片电路设计要求的情况下,有效缩小器件在硅片上的面积能够带来较大的成本收益。
在数字芯片制造领域中,鳍式场效应晶体管(Fin Field-Effect Transistor,FinFET)技术为一种典型的解决方案并被业界广泛采用。
但是,在模拟芯片的领域中,诸如MOSFET的场效应管的器件尺寸往往比数字芯片中的器件尺寸大很多。因此,如何减少场效应管的器件版图面积成为急需解决的问题。
发明内容
有鉴于此,本发明实施例所解决的技术问题之一在于提供一种场效应管及其制造方法,能够在保证器件特性需求的情况下,减小场效应管的器件版图面积。
根据本发明实施例的第一方面,提供了一种场效应管,场效应管包括:基板,设置有源极和漏极,所述源极与所述漏极之间形成载流子传输沟道,其中,所述载流子传输沟道在所述基板的表面处形成具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面;栅极电介质层,覆盖于所述具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面;栅极,设置于所述栅极电介质层之上,其中,所述栅极被栅极侧墙包围,所述至少一个沟槽的延伸范围超过所述栅极的覆盖区域,所述至少一个沟槽的延伸范围不超过所述栅极侧墙的覆盖区域。
根据本发明实施例的第二方面,提供了一种场效应管的制造方法,所述方法包括:在基板的表面上形成载流子传输沟道的具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面,其中,所述载流子传输沟道在所述基板中位于源极和漏极之间;形成栅极电介质层,覆盖于所述具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面;在所述栅极电介质层之上,形成栅极。
在本发明实施例的方案中,载流子传输沟道的沟道表面具有至少一个沟槽,增大了载流子传输沟道的有效宽度,因此在保证器件特性需求的情况下,减小了载流子传输沟道在基板上的投影面积,从而减小了场效应管的器件版图面积。此外,由于至少一个沟槽的延伸范围超过栅极的覆盖区域,对于基板表面上沟道与沟槽沟道提供了有效长度均一的载流子传输沟道,因此该器件具有良好的电学模型表征其电性的能力。由于至少一个沟槽的延伸范围不超过所述栅极侧墙的覆盖区域,因此,避免了沟槽处在场效应管的制造工艺中被填入电介质的情况发生,避免了由于源极PN结或漏极PN结的外包围面积增大而导致PN结的结电容增大的情况发生,并且还避免了由于栅极到源极的寄生电容、或栅极到漏极的寄生电容的增大而为场效应管带来的不利影响等问题的发生,从而减小了此场效应管与传统场效应管的性能差异。
后文将参照附图以示例性而非限制性的方式详细描述本申请实施例的一些具体实施例。附图中相同的附图标记标示了相同或类似的部件或部分。本领域技术人员应该理解,这些附图未必是按比值绘制的。附图中:

图10为本申请的图9的场效应管的制造方法的示意图。
图1为本申请的第一实施例的场效应管的示意性立体图。图1示出了第一实施例的场效应管。场效应管包括基板10、载流子传输沟道20和栅极30。载流子传输沟道20在基板10的表面处形成具有至少一个沟槽21的沟道表面。图2为图1的平面图。图3A、图3B和图4分别为沿图1和图2中的截线A-A’、截线B-B’和截线C-C’截取得到截面图。
如图2所示,截线A-A’和截线B-B’沿着载流子传输沟道20的长度方向,并且截线A-A’经过沟道表面中的非沟槽部分,截线B-B’经过沟道表面中的沟槽部分。截线C-C’沿着载流子传输沟道20的宽度方向。基板10设置有源极11和漏极12,源极11与漏极12之间形成载流子传输沟道20,换言之,载流子传输沟道20在长度方向上的两侧分别包括源极11和漏极12。源极11和漏极12通过经由掺杂的源极掺杂区和漏极掺杂区形成。应理解,图示的两侧源极11和漏极12仅仅为示例性的,并且两者可以进行对调,即,当一侧为源极时,另一侧为漏极。图2还示出了栅极侧墙33,栅极30和栅极电介质层40被栅极侧墙33(spacer,也可以被称为栅极间隔层)包围,至少一个沟槽21的延伸范围超过栅极30的覆盖区域,至少一个沟槽21的延伸范围不超过栅极侧墙33的覆盖区域。
如图3A的截面图所示,栅极电介质层40覆盖于具有至少一个沟槽21的 沟道表面。换言之,栅极电介质层40沿沟道表面形成,使得沟道表面位于栅极电介质层40的一侧。栅极30设置于栅极电介质层40之上。换言之,栅极30沿栅极电介质层40的另一侧形成。在源极11和漏极12附近还包括相应的低掺杂区13,源极11的低掺杂区中的载流子浓度小于源极11的载流子浓度。漏极12的低掺杂区中的载流子浓度小于漏极12的载流子浓度。
如图3B的截面图所示,由于截线B-B’经过沟道表面中的沟槽部分,因此氧化层30以及低掺杂区13相比于图3A的示例在基板中处于更深的位置。另外,在长度方向上,载流子传输沟道20的长度L可以为低掺杂区13之间的距离。源极11和漏极12在垂直于基板10的表面的方向上的深度为PN结深度Hpn。
如图4所示,沟槽21包括底壁和两个侧壁,沟槽21在垂直于基板10的表面的方向上的深度Htr为沟槽21的底壁与基板10的表面之间的距离。沟槽21的宽度Wtr为两个侧壁在宽度方向上的距离。如图所示,载流子传输沟道20位于器件隔离槽15之间。
具体而言,载流子传输沟道20在基板10的表面处形成有沟道表面,沟道表面包括具有沟槽21的部分和不具有沟槽21的部分。栅极电介质层40可以介于载流子传输沟道20与栅极30之间。
在本发明的另一实现方式中,栅极为多晶硅材料,栅极电介质层为硅氧化物;或者栅极为多晶硅材料,栅极电介质层为硅氮氧化物;或者栅极为金属材料,栅极电介质层包括层叠设置的高介电常数材料层和硅氧化物,且硅氧化物层介于基板与高介电常数材料层之间。
具体而言,作为一个示例,栅极30采用多晶硅(PolySiON)栅极工艺技术形成,栅极电介质层40可以由硅的氧化物构成,作为栅极电介质。作为另一示例,如果栅极30使用高介电常数金属栅极(High-K Metal Gate,HKMG)技术形成,则栅极30包括金属离子阻挡层,刻蚀保护层,功函数调节层,栅极金属电极层组合而成。-
在本发明实施例的方案中,载流子传输沟道的沟道表面具有至少一个沟槽,增大了载流子传输沟道中的有效宽度,因此在保证器件特性需求的情况下,减 小了载流子传输沟道在基板的表面上的投影面积,从而减小了场效应管的器件版图面积。此外,由于至少一个沟槽的延伸范围超过栅极的覆盖区域,对于基板表面上沟道与沟槽沟道提供了有效长度均一的载流子传输沟道,因此该器件具有良好的电学模型表征其电性的能力。由于至少一个沟槽的延伸范围不超过所述栅极侧墙的覆盖区域,因此,避免了沟槽处在场效应管的制造工艺中被填入电介质的情况发生,避免了由于源极PN结或漏极PN结的外包围面积增大而导致PN结的结电容增大的情况发生,并且还避免了由于栅极到源极的寄生电容、或栅极到漏极的寄生电容的增大而为场效应管带来的不利影响等问题的发生,从而提高了场效应管的性能。
此外,根据沟道长度、阈值电压、漏电流等需求,场效应管还可以包括Halo离子注入区。
在本发明的另一实现方式中,至少一个沟槽中的每一沟槽(例如,对于一个沟槽的情况,每一沟槽是指该沟槽;对于多个沟槽的情况,每一沟槽是指多个沟槽中的每个沟槽)包括与基板的表面大致垂直的两个侧壁、以及连接在两个侧壁之间并与基板的表面具有高度差的底壁,沟道表面包括两个侧壁、底壁以及与基板的表面大致平齐的顶面,其中,栅极电介质层以大致相同的厚度覆盖于沟道表面上。应理解,在多个沟槽的情况下,沟道表面包括多个沟槽各自的两个侧壁、底壁以及与基板的表面大致平齐的顶面。
在本发明的另一实现方式中,载流子传输沟道在源极与漏极之间具有长度方向,至少一个沟槽在长度方向上延伸,形成延伸范围。由于沟槽在源极与漏极之间的长度方向上形成在载流子传输沟道中,因此在载流子传输沟道的长度方向上的任一截面,都具有因沟槽而增大了载流子传输沟道的有效宽度,因此提高了载流子传输沟道的性能。
在本发明的另一实现方式中,至少一个沟槽的延伸长度大于栅极在长度方向上的长度。由于沟槽的延伸长度大于栅极的长度,因此载流子传输沟道中的载流子的迁移更加稳定和可靠,从而进一步提高了载流子传输沟道的性能。
此外,由于沟槽的延伸长度大于栅极的长度,使得沟槽处的沟道长度与基板表面处的沟道长度相等,使得引入了沟槽后并没有形成两种沟道长度,有利 于后续的集成电路模拟程序(Simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis,SPICE)模型的提取与建立。反之,则会使模型变得复杂和难以收敛。
在一个示例中,基板可以实现为硅基板,沟槽的长度大于多晶硅,或者,沟槽的长度大于HKMG工艺中的假(Dummy)栅极(即,在栅极形成之后的工艺流程中会去除的部分)的长度。
图5A示出了一个示例的沟槽设置方式,并且图5B示出了另一示例的沟槽设置方式。在诸如共用源漏区等情况下,例如,在芯片电路中使用诸如反相器的器件时,由于两个场效应管共用一端的源极或漏极而串联短接。此时相邻两个器件的栅极间距很近。一方面,沟槽如果突出栅极侧墙的两侧,制造过程中可能的多晶硅刻蚀残留导致器件栅极间短接(如图5A中的阴影部分所示)。另一方面,由于间距太小,工艺误差导致的沟槽伸长可能会导致短接,如图5A所示。
从电性角度而言,一方面,沟槽长度如果突出栅极侧墙的两侧,则会导致沟槽在后续工艺流程中被填入电介质,进而导致源极或漏极的导电截面积变小,使得整个器件工作时导通电阻变大。另一方面,沟槽长度如果突出栅极侧墙的两侧,则会增加源极PN结或漏极PN结的外包围面积,直接导致PN结的结电容增大,同时也会增加栅极到源极的寄生电容、或栅极到漏极的寄生电容的增大,给器件带来不利影响。因此,如果沟槽长度突出栅极侧墙的两侧时,会导致器件的性能变差。因此,在本发明的一个示例中,栅极侧墙在长度方向上形成第一侧墙部和第二侧墙部,至少一个沟槽的延伸长度大于第一侧墙部的内壁和第二侧墙部的内壁之间的距离,至少一个沟槽的延伸长度小于第一侧墙部的外壁和第二侧墙部的外壁之间的距离。由于上述的长度设置,因此避免了诸如共用源漏区等情况下的芯片版图中器件密集排布时的沟道之间的短接现象,如图5B所示。
此外,由于沟槽的长度不大于两侧的栅极侧墙之间的距离,避免了沟槽处在场效应管的制造工艺中被填入电介质进而导致的源极或漏极的导电截面积变小,从而避免了整个场效应管在工作时导通电阻变大。
此外,由于沟槽的长度不大于两侧的栅极侧墙之间的距离,不会增加源极 PN结或漏极PN结的外包围面积,避免了PN结的结电容增大,同时也避免了栅极到源极的寄生电容、或栅极到漏极的寄生电容的增大而为场效应管带来的不利影响。
在本发明的另一实现方式中,在垂直于基板的表面的方向上,沟槽的深度不大于源极形成的PN结的深度,并且沟槽的深度不大于漏极形成的PN结的深度。由于沟槽的深度不大于源极PN结的深度,并且沟槽的深度不大于漏极PN结的深度,因此保证了场效应管的沟道的性能。
具体而言,基板的表面在垂直于基板的表面的方向上凹陷形成沟槽的底壁,基板的表面处的掺杂离子浓度与底壁处的掺杂离子浓度之间的差异小于20%。由于基板的顶面处的掺杂离子浓度与沟槽的底部的掺杂离子浓度之间的差异小于20%,保证载流子传输沟道处掺杂离子浓度的均一性,进一步保证了场效应管的沟道的性能。
在本发明的另一实现方式中,底壁经由沟槽的两个侧壁连结到基板的表面,载流子传输沟道的有效宽度W
eff通过如下公式确定:W
eff=2n*H
tr+W。n为至少一个沟槽的个数;H
tr为沟槽的深度;W为版图中器件沟道的宽度。
由于根据上述公式所指示的关系,对于一定的沟道在基板上的投影宽度,沟道的有效宽度随着沟槽的个数的增大而增大,因此能够通过增大沟槽的个数极大地增大沟道的有效宽度,进而提高场效应管的沟道的性能,或者,可以通过形成特定沟槽的个数达到期望的沟道的性能。
应理解,由于单个沟槽的加工宽度Wmin受限于光刻工艺时的衍射极限,n的数量会被该指标限制。在一个示例中,n可以为W/(2*Wmin)取整,或者根据电路设计要求在不超过上述整数的范围内取值。
还应理解,n可以为任意正整数,在实施例中图示了2个沟槽。取决于设计要求以及期望的沟道性能,可以取适当的n。
图6为本申请的第二实施例的场效应管的制造方法的示意性流程图。图6的场效应管的制造方法包括:
610:基于基板的表面,形成载流子传输沟道的具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面,其中,载流子传输沟道位于基板中位于源极和漏极之间。
620:形成栅极电介质层,覆盖于具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面。应理解,可以基于沟道表面,形成氧化物层,使得沟道表面位于氧化物层的一侧。
630:在栅极电介质层之上,形成栅极。应理解,可以沿氧化物层的另一侧形成栅极。
在本发明实施例的方案中,载流子传输沟道的沟道表面具有至少一个沟槽,增大了载流子传输沟道中的有效宽度,因此在保证器件特性需求的情况下,减小了载流子传输沟道在基板的表面上的投影面积,从而减小了场效应管的器件版图面积。
在本发明的另一示例中,该方法还包括:基于基板的表面,围绕载流子传输沟道,形成器件隔离槽。经由上述加工,提高了场效应管的性能的可靠性。
在本发明的另一示例中,基于基板的表面,形成载流子传输沟道的具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面,包括:基于基板的表面,沉积第一硬掩模层和第一光刻层;对第一硬掩模层和第一光刻层进行等离子刻蚀和光刻处理,在载流子传输沟道的区域处形成具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面。基于基板的表面,围绕载流子传输沟道,形成器件隔离槽,包括:基于经由等离子和光刻处理的第一硬掩模层和第一光刻层,沉积第二光刻层;围绕载流子传输沟道,对第二光刻层以及第一硬掩模层进行光刻和等离子刻蚀处理,并对刻槽进行氧化物填充、化学机械研磨平坦化处理,第一硬掩模层的湿法去除,最终形成器件隔离槽。
由于硬掩模层能够使得版图图案与刻蚀处理得到的沟槽的形状更加匹配,从而可靠地形成了具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面。另外,在经由刻蚀处理的硬掩模层上沉积光刻层能够在不改变具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面的同时形成器件隔离槽。
在本发明的另一示例中,基于基板的表面,形成载流子传输沟道的具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面,包括:基于基板的表面,形成器件隔离槽;基于器件隔离槽包围的区域,形成载流子传输沟道的具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面。
由于基于基板的表面围绕载流子传输沟道,形成至少一个沟槽,因此实现了沟槽的加工精度。
在本发明的另一示例中,基于基板的表面,形成器件隔离槽,包括:基于 基板的表面,沉积第二光刻层和第二硬掩模层;基于器件版图,执行器件隔离槽整体工艺。可以围绕器件有源区,对第二光刻层和第二硬掩模层进行光刻和等离子刻蚀处理,形成器件隔离槽。然后,可以对刻槽进行氧化物填充、化学机械研磨平坦化处理,第二硬掩模层的湿法去除。基于器件隔离槽包围的区域,形成载流子传输沟道的具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面,包括:基于器件隔离槽包围的区域,沉积第一硬掩模层和第一光刻层;对第一硬掩模层和第一光刻层进行等离子刻蚀和光刻处理,形成具有载流子传输沟道的具有至少一个沟槽的沟道表面。
由于对光刻层能够保证光刻处理的可靠性,硬掩模层能够使得版图图案与刻蚀处理得到的器件隔离槽的形状更加匹配,因此,可靠地形成了器件隔离槽。另外,在经由处理的光刻层上继续沉积硬掩模层和光刻层,能够在不改变器件隔离槽的同时形成至少一个沟槽。
应理解,本发明实施例用于沟槽型沟道。沟槽型沟道的形成工艺可以与标准场效应管的制造工艺深度兼容,例如,可采用类似双深度浅槽隔离(shallow trench isolation,STI)工艺制造沟槽型沟道。
此外,可以引入嵌入式源极技术或嵌入式漏极技术来增强载流子传输沟道的载流子迁移率,例如,P型MOS管中使用嵌入式锗硅(embedded SiGe)工艺增加空穴的迁移率,N型MOS管中使用嵌入式碳硅(embedded SiC)工艺来增加电子的迁移率。
此外,可以在栅极形成后使用应力记忆技术(Stress Memorization Technique,SMT),将应力传导至载流子传输沟道处,调节载流子的迁移率。
