然而,在上述DRAM的制程中,由于第一隔离层122覆盖在阵列区110a和边界区110c的靠近阵列区110a的部分区域,而边界区110c的靠近核心区110b的部分区域以及核心区110b未覆盖第一隔离层122,导致覆盖有第一隔离层122的区域与未覆盖第一隔离层122的区域之间存在台阶,从而导致边界区110c的第一导电层133以及覆盖在第一导电层133上的其他功能层均形成台阶,而使得第一导电层133以及位于第一导电层133上的功能层的表面平整性较差。其中,以图1中A部分所在的 功能层为例,在实际工艺中,位于台阶处的该功能层(即图1中A部分)相比于该功能层的其余区域的厚度更大,A部分的该功能层相较于其他区域的该功能层不易刻蚀干净,容易出现残留,从而对DRAM的结构和性能造成影响。
虽然可以采取过度刻蚀的方法以将残留的部分该功能层去除干净,但是,这样很可能会对其余未残留该功能层的区域中的其他结构层造成损伤,从而影响DRAM的结构和性能。
本申请实施例提供一种半导体结构的制备方法、半导体结构和存储器,该半导体结构的制备方法可以包括提供基底,基底包括阵列区、核心区、以及位于阵列区和核心区之间的边界区;形成第一初始隔离层,第一初始隔离层位于阵列区、边界区和核心区,第一初始隔离层覆盖基底;去除位于核心区以及与核心区邻接的第一部分边界区中的第一初始隔离层,以得到第一隔离层;形成第一初始导电层,第一初始导电层位于阵列区、边界区和核心区,第一初始导电层覆盖基底和第一隔离层;对第一初始导电层进行平坦化处理,以得到第一中间导电层;以及去除位于阵列区以及与阵列区邻接的第二部分边界区中的第一中间导电层,以得到第一导电层;其中,第一导电层在基底上的正投影与第一隔离层在基底上的正投影部分交叠,且第一导电层在基底上的正投影与第一隔离层在基底上的正投影的交叠部分位于边界区内。由于对第一初始导电层进行平坦化处理,使得形成的第一导电层的表面平整性较好,从而可以使得制备在第一导电层上方的其他功能层的平整性较好,位于第一导电层上方的该功能层的厚度较为均匀,避免或减少在刻蚀工序中出现功能层残留,从而避免或减小对半导体结构和存储器的结构和性能的影响。
为使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
以下将结合图1-图18对本申请实施例提供的半导体结构100的制备方法进行说明。
如图2所示,该半导体结构100的制备方法可以包括以下步骤:
S100:提供基底,基底包括阵列区、核心区、以及位于阵列区和核心区之间的边界区。
如图3所示,首先提供基底110,基底110可以包括依次相邻设置的阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b,边界区110c位于阵列区110a和核心区110b之间。例如,边界区110c和核心区110b可以位于阵列区110a的至少一侧。示例性的,边界区110c可以设置在阵列区110a的外周,即边界区110c可以环绕阵列区110a一周。另外,核心区110b可以设置在边界区110c的外周,即核心区110b可以环绕边界区110c一周。
基底110的阵列区110a的上方后续可以形成有电容器;基底110的核心区110b的上方后续可以形成有外围电路,例如,外围电路可以包括晶体管等。边界区110c为位于阵列区110a和核心区110b之间的过渡区。
示例性的,如图3所示,边界区110c包括第一部分边界区110d、第二部分边界 区110e、以及位于第一部分边界区110d和第二部分边界区110e之间的第三部分边界区110f。第一部分边界区110d为边界区110c中靠近核心区110b的部分区域,第一部分边界区110d与核心区110b邻接;第二部分边界区110e为边界区110c中靠近阵列区110a的部分区域,第二部分边界区110e与阵列区110a邻接;第三部分边界区110f为边界区110c中位于第一部分边界区110d和第二部分边界区110e之间的区域。
继续参考图3,基底110内可以设置有源区111,部分有源区111可以位于阵列区110a并用于形成晶体管,位于阵列区110a的有源区111可以呈阵列排布。部分有源区111可以位于核心区110b并用于形成晶体管。例如,位于阵列区110a内的有源区111的间隔较小,位于核心区110b内的有源区111间隔较大。有源区111之间设置有隔离结构112,以将各个有源区111之间隔开。例如,隔离结构112可以包括氧化物,例如氧化硅。
示例性的,基底110可以包括衬底和位于衬底上的氧化层,有源区111和隔离结构112均可以位于衬底内。衬底上的氧化层可以避免有源区111暴露。其中,位于阵列区110a的氧化层的厚度可以大于位于核心区110b的氧化层的厚度。可以先在衬底上形成一层厚氧化层,去除位于核心区110b的厚氧化层,保留位于阵列区110a的厚氧化层,另外,还可以去除部分或者全部边界区110c的厚氧化层,或者,保留边界区110c的厚氧化层。然后在核心区110b的衬底上形成一层薄氧化层,薄氧化层可以为高质量的氧化层,以提高具有薄氧化层的器件(例如晶体管)的性能。
例如,薄氧化层可以具有较高的介电常数,以使薄氧化层的绝缘性较好,提高包含该薄氧化层的晶体管的击穿电压。其中,高介电常数的材料可以包括氧化钽(Ta
2O
5)、氧化铝(Al
2O
3)、氧化铪(HfO)、氧化钛硅(SiTiO
3)、氧化硅铪(HfSiO)、氮氧化硅铪(HfSiON)、氮氧化硅锆(ZrSiON)中的任意一种或多种。
例如衬底的材料可以是单晶硅、多晶硅、无定型硅、硅化锗、碳化硅、氮化镓等。衬底可以为体硅(Bulk Silicon)衬底,也可以是绝缘体上硅(Silicon On Insulator,简称SOI)衬底。衬底可以为衬底上的其他结构层提供支撑基础。
S200:形成第一初始隔离层,第一初始隔离层位于阵列区、边界区和核心区,第一初始隔离层覆盖基底。
如图4所示,在基底110上形成第一初始隔离层121,第一初始隔离层121覆盖基底110的阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b。示例性的,第一初始隔离层121的材料可以为氮化硅,氮化硅隔离效果较好。
第一初始隔离层121可以通过沉积工艺形成在基底110上。例如,第一初始隔离层121可以通过化学气相沉积(Chemical Vapor Deposition,简称CVD)、物理气相沉积(Physical Vapor Deposition,简称PVD)或者原子层沉积(Atomic Layer Deposition,简称ALD)等工艺形成在基底110上。
S300:去除位于核心区以及与核心区邻接的第一部分边界区中的第一初始隔离层,以得到第一隔离层。
如图5所示,去除部分第一初始隔离层121,以形成第一隔离层122,第一隔离层122用于隔离位于第一隔离层122下方的基底110与位于第一隔离层122上方的其他结构层。
示例性的,可以去除核心区110b和边界区110c中的第一初始隔离层121,保留阵列区110a中的第一初始隔离层121,阵列区110a的基底110上形成第一隔离层122。
示例性的,如图5所示,可以去除核心区110b以及第一部分边界区110d中的第一初始隔离层121,保留阵列区110a、第二部分边界区110e以及第三部分边界区110f中的第一初始隔离层121,以在阵列区110a、第二部分边界区110e以及第三部分边界区110f的基底110上形成第一隔离层122。例如,阵列区110a在基底110上的正投影位于第一隔离层122在基底110上的正投影内,从而使得第一隔离层122完全覆盖阵列区110a,对阵列区110a的基底110的隔离效果较好。
例如,S300可以包括:
在第一初始隔离层121上形成初始掩膜层,该初始掩膜层可以为第一初始掩膜层,第一初始掩膜层覆盖基底110的阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b。第一初始掩膜层可以为光刻胶。
去除核心区110b以及第一部分边界区110d中的第一初始掩膜层,形成第一掩膜层,第一掩膜层覆盖阵列区110a、第二部分边界区110e以及第三部分边界区110f的第一初始隔离层121,暴露出核心区110b以及第一部分边界区110d中的第一初始隔离层121。
以第一掩膜层为掩膜,去除第一掩膜层未覆盖的区域即核心区110b以及第一部分边界区110d中的第一初始隔离层121,以形成第一隔离层122,第一隔离层122位于阵列区110a、第二部分边界区110e以及第三部分边界区110f的基底110上。
去除第一掩膜层,暴露第一隔离层122。
需要说明的是,一些示例中,在形成第一初始隔离层121之前,可以分别形成位于阵列区110a的厚氧化层和位于核心区110b的薄氧化层,第一初始隔离层121覆盖在厚氧化层和薄氧化层上。另一些示例中,在形成第一初始隔离层121之前,可以先形成厚氧化层,厚氧化层覆盖阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b的衬底,第一初始隔离层121覆盖在厚氧化层上;然后在去除核心区110b和第一部分边界区110d中的第一初始隔离层121的同时,去除核心区110b和第一部分边界区110d中的厚氧化层,从而无需分次去除厚氧化层和第一初始隔离层121,能够简化制备工艺。然后在核心区110b和第一部分边界区110d中的衬底上形成薄氧化层,部分薄氧化层可以覆盖在第一隔离层122的边缘的上方,从而避免暴露衬底而对衬底形成保护。
S400:形成第一初始导电层,第一初始导电层位于阵列区、边界区和核心区,第一初始导电层覆盖基底和第一隔离层。
如图6所示,在第一隔离层122以及暴露的基底110上形成第一初始导电层131,第一初始导电层131位于阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b中。由于覆盖有第一隔离层122和未覆盖第一隔离层122的基底110之间存在台阶,导致第一初始导电层131存在台阶,从而在第一初始导电层131的上部形成台阶部134。台阶部134会导致后续形成在第一初始导电层131上的其他功能层也存在台阶,影响其他功能层的平整性,从而影响半导体结构100的结构和性能。
示例性的,第一初始导电层131的材料可以为多晶硅(polycrystalline silicon)。
示例性的,第一初始导电层131的厚度d(图6中)的范围可以为40nm-120nm, 例如,第一初始导电层131的厚度d可以为40nm、60nm、80nm、100nm、120nm以及40nm-120nm之间的任意厚度。从而可以避免第一初始导电层131的厚度过低,在第一初始导电层131进行后续的平坦化处理后,避免保留的第一初始导电层131的厚度过低;又可以避免第一初始导电层131的厚度过高,避免后续平坦化处理的时间过长。
S500:对第一初始导电层进行平坦化处理,以得到第一中间导电层。
如图7所示,对第一初始导电层131进行平坦化处理,去除部分厚度的第一初始导电层131,保留部分厚度的第一初始导电层131,从而得到第一中间导电层132。
例如,S500可以包括:
掺杂处理位于阵列区110a和边界区110c中的第一初始导电层131。
对台阶部134进行掺杂处理,以改变掺杂处理的第一初始导电层131的性质,使得掺杂处理后的第一初始导电层131更容易被去除,掺杂处理后的第一初始导电层131的去除速度较快,而未掺杂处理的第一初始导电层131的去除速度较慢,从而可以在去除部分厚度的第一初始导电层131的同时,去除台阶部134,以使保留的第一初始导电层131的顶面形成较为平整的表面。
示例性的,掺杂处理的第一初始导电层131的厚度范围可以为5nm-10nm。即对台阶部134的掺杂厚度的范围可以为5nm-10nm。例如,被掺杂处理的台阶部134的厚度可以为5nm、6nm、7nm、8nm、9nm、10nm或5nm-10nm之间的任意厚度。从而可以避免被掺杂处理的台阶部134的厚度过低而无法很好的去除台阶部134;又可以避免被掺杂处理的台阶部134的厚度过高而降低掺杂的精度。
示例性的,掺杂处理的掺杂材料135可以包括砷原子、磷原子等V族元素,碳原子等IV族元素中的任意一种或多种。
对第一初始导电层131进行刻蚀或化学机械抛光,以得到第一中间导电层132。平坦化处理可以包括干法刻蚀、湿法刻蚀或者化学机械抛光等方法,通过平坦化处理以去除部分厚度的第一初始导电层131,剩余的第一初始导电层131形成第一中间导电层132,第一中间导电层132的顶面可以为平面,其平整性较好,避免或减小对后续形成在第一中间导电层132上的其他功能层的平整性的影响,从而避免或减小影响半导体结构100的结构和性能。
例如,如图8-图12所示,掺杂处理位于阵列区110a和边界区110c中的第一初始导电层131的步骤可以包括:
如图8所示,形成初始掩膜层,初始掩膜层位于阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b,初始掩膜层覆盖第一初始导电层131。在第一初始导电层131上形成初始掩膜层,该初始掩膜层可以为第二初始掩膜层141,第二初始掩膜层141位于阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b。例如,第二初始掩膜层141可以为光刻胶。
如图9所示,去除位于阵列区110a和边界区110c中的第二初始掩膜层141,以得到掩膜层,该掩膜层可以为第二掩膜层142。即可以去除台阶部134上方的第二初始掩膜层141,从而暴露出台阶部134,以便于对台阶部134进行掺杂处理。
需要说明的是,如图9所示,台阶部134的靠近核心区110b的侧壁面可以为弧面,即台阶部134的侧壁面的高度是逐渐增加,该侧壁面为倾斜设置。此时,第二掩 膜层142可以覆盖台阶部134的靠近核心区110b的部分侧壁面,从而避免对台阶部134的靠近核心区110b的部分侧壁面进行掺杂处理,导致掺杂材料135沿侧壁分布厚度较大,无法准确控制掺杂处理的厚度,甚至导致掺杂材料135通过高度较小的侧壁面进入台阶部134的下方,从而影响掺杂处理的均匀性和厚度控制的准确性。
如图10所示,对阵列区110a和边界区110c中的第一初始导电层131进行离子注入。其中,掺杂处理的方式可以包括离子注入。
示例性的,离子注入的剂量范围为10
13原子数/平方厘米-10
15原子数/平方厘米。例如,离子注入的剂量范围为10
13原子数/平方厘米、10
14原子数/平方厘米、10
15原子数/平方厘米或者10
13原子数/平方厘米-10
15原子数/平方厘米之间的任意剂量。从而可以避免离子注入的剂量过小,避免掺入到第一初始导电层131的掺杂材料135的含量过低,从而对第一初始导电层131的性质的改善效果较好;又可以避免离子注入的剂量过大,有利于控制掺入到第一初始导电层131的掺杂材料135的含量。
示例性的,离子注入的能量范围可以为30keV-100keV。例如,离子注入的能量可以为30keV、50keV、70keV、90keV、100keV或者30keV-100keV之间的任意能量。从而可以避免离子注入的能量过低,避免注入到第一初始导电层131中的掺杂材料135的含量过低或注入深度过浅,从而对第一初始导电层131的性质的改善效果较好;又可以避免离子注入的能量过高,从而避免掺杂材料135注入的深度过深,可以较好的控制掺杂处理的厚度(即深度)。
如图11所示,去除第二掩膜层142。掺杂处理之后,可以将第二掩膜层142去除,以暴露出位于核心区110b的第一初始导电层131。
在掺杂处理位于阵列区110a和边界区110c中的第一初始导电层131之后,对第一初始导电层131进行刻蚀或化学机械抛光,以得到第一中间导电层132的步骤之前,还可以包括:热退火处理第一初始导电层131。如图12所示,在去除第二掩膜层142之后,可以对掺杂处理的第一初始导电层131进行热退火处理。通过热退火处理可以修复离子注入造成的第一初始导电层131的表面晶体损伤,激活离子注入的掺杂材料135,同时使得掺杂材料135均匀分布在所需厚度的第一初始导电层131中。
S600:去除位于阵列区以及与阵列区邻接的第二部分边界区中的第一中间导电层,以得到第一导电层。
如图13所示,去除位于阵列区110a以及与第二部分边界区110e中的第一中间导电层132,保留位于第一部分边界区110d、第三部分边界区110f以及核心区110b中的第一中间导电层132,以形成第一导电层133。第一导电层133覆盖在第一部分边界区110d、第三部分边界区110f以及核心区110b中。
如图13所示,第一导电层133在基底110上的正投影与第一隔离层122在基底110上的正投影部分交叠,且第一导电层133在基底110上的正投影与第一隔离层122在基底110上的正投影的交叠部分位于第三部分边界区110f中。交叠部分的第一导电层133和第一隔离层122可以避免基底110暴露,而对基底110形成保护。
得到第一导电层133的步骤之后,还可以包括:
如图14所示,形成第二导电层151,第二导电层151位于阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b中,第二导电层151覆盖第一隔离层122和第一导电层133。即 在第一导电层133和第一隔离层122上形成第二导电层151,第二导电层151覆盖阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b。
形成第二导电层151的步骤之后,还可以包括:
如图15所示,形成第三导电层152,第三导电层152位于阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b中,第三导电层152覆盖第二导电层151。即在第二导电层151上形成第三导电层152,第三导电层152覆盖阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b。
示例性的,第二导电层151的材料可以为氮化钛,第三导电层152的材料可以为钨。氮化钛可以防止钨扩散与硅反应形成低阻的欧姆接触,有利于提高钨的附着性。另外,钨具有良好的台阶覆盖率。
形成第三导电层152的步骤之后,还可以包括:
如图16所示,形成第二隔离层153,第二隔离层153位于阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b中,第二隔离层153覆盖第三导电层152。即在第三导电层152上形成第二隔离层153,第二隔离层153覆盖阵列区110a、边界区110c和核心区110b。
示例性的,第二隔离层153的材料可以为氮化硅。
需要说明的是,第二导电层151、第三导电层152、第二隔离层153中的任意一者或多者均可以形成上述实施例中的功能层。
位于阵列区110a的第二导电层151、第三导电层152后续可以形成位线。
位于核心区110b的薄氧化层、第一导电层133、第二导电层151、第三导电层152以及基底110中的有源区111后续可以形成器件,例如晶体管。
形成第二隔离层153的步骤之后,还可以包括:
如图17所示,依次去除位于边界区110c的第二隔离层153、第三导电层152和第二导电层151,位于核心区110b的第二导电层151与位于阵列区110a的第二导电层151电性隔离,位于核心区110b的第三导电层152与位于阵列区110a的第三导电层152电性隔离。
在去除边界区110c的第二隔离层153、第三导电层152和第二导电层151时,由于第一导电层133的顶面平整性较好,使得位于第一导电层133上方的第二隔离层153、第三导电层152和第二导电层151的厚度较为均匀,能够避免或减少第二导电层151的残留,从而避免或减少残留的第二导电层151对半导体结构100的结构和性能影响。
在去除边界区110c的第二导电层151之后,还可以去除边界区110c的部分或者全部第一导电层133(图18),或者,也可以保留边界区110c的第一导电层133(图17)。
例如,还可以在边界区110c中填充绝缘材料,以确保阵列区110a和核心区110b之间必要的电性隔离。

如图13所示,半导体结构100可以包括基底110,基底110包括阵列区110a、核心区110b、以及位于阵列区110a和核心区110b之间的边界区110c。基底110上依次层叠设置有第一隔离层122和第一导电层133,第一隔离层122覆盖在阵列区 110a、第二部分边界区110e以及第三部分边界区110f的基底110上、第一导电层133覆盖在核心区110b、第一部分边界区110d以及第三部分边界区110f的第一隔离层122和基底110上。第一导电层133的顶面可以为平面,从而使得第一导电层133的顶面的平整性较好。例如,可以对第一导电层133进行平坦化处理,从而使得第一导电层133的顶面形成平整的表面,以避免对后续形成在第一导电层133上的其他功能层(例如,第二导电层151、第三导电层152以及第二隔离层153等)的平整性造成影响,避免或减少功能层在后续的刻蚀工序中残留在边界区110c,从而避免或减少对半导体结构100的结构和性能的影响。
其中,第一导电层133在基底110上的正投影与第一隔离层122在基底110上的正投影部分交叠,且第一导电层133在基底110上的正投影与第一隔离层122在基底110上的正投影的交叠部分位于第三部分边界区110f内,从而可以避免基底110暴露,以对基底110形成保护。
需要说明的是,一些示例中,在后续工艺中,可以保留边界区110c中的第一导电层133(图17),也可以去除边界区110c中的部分或者全部的第一导电层133(图18)。该半导体结构100可以是保留边界区110c中至少部分第一导电层133而形成的半导体结构100,也可以是去除边界区110c中第一导电层133而形成的半导体结构100。

其中,第一导电层133在基底110上的正投影与第一隔离层122在基底110上的正投影部分交叠,且第一导电层133在基底110上的正投影与第一隔离层122在基底110上的正投影的交叠部分位于第三部分边界区110f内,从而可以避免基底110暴露,以对基底110形成保护。
需要说明的是,一些示例中,在后续工艺中,可以去除边界区110c中的第一导电层133,以使得位于核心区110b和位于阵列区110a中的第一导电层133之间电性隔离。另一些示例中,也可以保留边界区110c中的部分或者全部的第一导电层133。
这里需要说明的是,本申请实施例涉及的数值和数值范围为近似值,受制造工艺的影响,可能会存在一定范围的误差,这部分误差本领域技术人员可以认为忽略不计。
最后应说明的是:以上各实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述各实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分或者全部技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的范围。
