为了说明本申请上述的技术方案,下面通过具体实施例来进行说明。
在本申请的一个实施例中提供的一种半导体结构的制造方法中,如图1所示,包括如下步骤:
步骤S10:提供衬底21;
步骤S20:在衬底21上形成包括交替层叠的牺牲层22及支撑层23的叠层结构;
步骤S30:在叠层结构内形成电容孔24;
步骤S40:在电容孔24的侧壁及底部形成第一电极层25;

步骤S70:在第一介质层26的内表面及第一电极层25的外表面形成第二介质层28;
步骤S80:在第二介质层28的内表面和外表面形成第二电极层29。
于上述实施例提供的半导体结构的制造方法中,在形成有电容孔的侧壁及底部形成第一电极层,去除牺牲层之前,预先在第一电极层的内表面形成第一介质层;接着在叠层结构上形成开口,开口暴露出牺牲层,并利用开口去除牺牲层;在第一介质层的内表面及第一电极层的外表面形成第二介质层;在第二介质层的内表面和外表面形成第二电极层。通过额外引入第一介质层,以增加第一电极层内侧的第二介质层的厚度,使得第一电极层内侧的第二介质层的厚度与第一介质层的厚度之和接近或等同于第一电极层的外表面的第二介质层的厚度,从而消除因第二介质层的内外厚度不一引起的漏电流不等的影响,极大提高半导体结构的电学性能。
在一个实施例中,如图2所示,步骤S10中提供的衬底21,衬底21中形成有存储器件结构、存储器件结构包括有多个焊盘211。存储器件结构还包括有晶体管字符线(Word line)及位线(Bitline),焊盘211电性连接存储器件结构内的晶体管源极或漏极。
作为示例,焊盘211可以但不仅限于呈六方阵列排布,与后续制作的集成电路电容器件的排布相对应。
具体地,焊盘211之间通过间隔层进行隔离,间隔层的材料可以为氮化硅(SiN)、氧化硅(SiO 2)、氧化铝(Al 2O 3)中的任意一种或任意两种以上的组合,在本实施例中,间隔层的材料可选用SiN。
在一个实施例中,如图3所示,步骤S20中在衬底21上形成包括交替层 叠的牺牲层22及支撑层23的叠层结构。
作为示例,可采用原子层沉积工艺(Atomic Layer Deposition)或等离子蒸气沉积工艺(Chemical Vapor Deposition)形成牺牲层22及支撑层23。
作为示例,牺牲层22与支撑层23的材料不同,且在同一刻蚀制程中牺牲层22的刻蚀速率与支撑层23的刻蚀速率不同,具体表现为同一刻蚀制程中,牺牲层22的刻蚀速率远远大于支撑层23的刻蚀速率,使得当牺牲层22被完全去除时,支撑层几乎被完全保留。
优选地,牺牲层的材料可选用多晶硅或氧化硅,支撑层的材料可选用氮化硅。
在一个实施例中,如图4所示,步骤S30中在叠层结构内形成电容孔24。
具体地,可在交替叠置的牺牲层22及支撑层23的上表面形成光刻胶作为掩膜层,当然,在其他示例中也可以形成其他材料的掩膜层(譬如,氮化硅硬掩膜层等等);然后,采用光刻工艺将掩膜层图形化,以得到用于定义电容孔24的图形化掩膜层;最后,可依据用于定义电容孔24的图形化掩膜层采用干法刻蚀工艺、湿法刻蚀工艺或干法刻蚀工艺与湿法刻蚀工艺相结合的工艺刻蚀支撑层及牺牲层22,以在支撑层及牺牲层22内形成上下贯通的电容孔24,电容孔24暴露出底部焊盘211。
在一个实施例中,如图5所示,步骤S40中在电容孔24的侧壁及底部形成第一电极层25。作为示例,首先,采用原子层沉积工艺(Atomic Layer Deposition)或等离子蒸气沉积工艺(Chemical Vapor Deposition)于电容孔24的侧壁及底部沉积第一电极层25。优选地,第一电极层25包括金属氮化物及金属硅化物中的一种或两种所形成的化合物,如氮化钛(Titanium Nitride,TiN),硅化钛(Titanium Silicide),硅化镍(Titanium Silicide),硅 氮化钛(TiSixNy)。
在一个实施例中,如图6所示,步骤S50中在第一电极层25的内表面形成第一介质层26。在理想状态下,通过原子层沉积等工艺技术会在第一电极层的表面应形成位于电容孔内外膜层厚度均匀一致的电容介质层,但因空间环境的影响,介质层的内外膜层厚度差别显著,因而在去除牺牲层步骤之前,预先沉积一层小于

的第一介质层26以补偿后续形成的第二介质层的厚度差异,以消除第二介质层28的内外膜层厚度不一引起较大差异的漏电流状况,从而获得半导体结构中内外均匀的电流泄露,提高半导体结构的电学性能。
在一个实施例中,第一介质层26包括氧化铌层(Nb 2O 5)、氧化钌层(RuO 2)、氧化锆层(ZrO 2)、氧化铝层(Al 2O 3)、氧化铪层(HfO 2)或氧化硅层(SiO 2)中的任一种或其任意组合。其中,任意组合定义为上述材料层中的至少任意两种的组合,譬如,氧化铌层和氧化铝层,也可以为氧化铌层、氧化铝层及氧化硅层。上述材料均为高K介质材料,以提高单位面积电容器的电容值,第一介质层的材料选取与第二介质层的材质相同,也可以不同,本申请不对此作出限定。
