Definitions

  • the present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a semiconductor device, a preparation method and an electronic device.
  • contact holes play a vital role in the structure of semiconductor devices as the channels for interconnecting multiple metal layers and connecting the active area of the device (such as source, drain or gate, etc.) with other devices in the chip.
  • the number of contact holes per unit area in semiconductor devices has increased exponentially, which has led to smaller and smaller spacing between contact holes and between contact holes and device active areas, and thus the risk of short circuits between contact holes and between contact holes and device active areas has increased.
  • the diameter of the contact hole can be miniaturized to increase the spacing between the contact holes and between the contact hole and the device active area, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the risk of short circuits between the contact holes and between the contact hole and the device active area.
  • the smaller the diameter of the contact hole the more difficult it is to etch the contact hole to the bottom, and the more likely it is to have filling voids when the contact hole is subsequently filled, which is not conducive to improving the reliability of semiconductor devices. It can be seen that the solution of miniaturizing the diameter of the contact hole poses a huge challenge to the etching process of the contact hole and the subsequent filling process, which is not conducive to reducing the difficulty of manufacturing semiconductor devices.
  • the present application provides a semiconductor device, a preparation method and an electronic device, which are used to reduce the difficulty of preparing the semiconductor device.
  • the present application provides a semiconductor device, comprising a contact portion, a stacking structure, a first isolation layer and a first metal layer.
  • the contact portion is arranged on a substrate, and the stacking structure is stacked on one side of the contact portion.
  • the stacking structure comprises at least one etching stop layer and at least one dielectric layer alternately stacked, and the stacking structure has a first contact hole, which penetrates the stacking structure and is connected to the contact portion.
  • a first isolation layer and a first metal layer are arranged in the first contact hole, the first metal layer contacts the contact portion through the first contact hole, the first isolation layer is arranged between the first metal layer and the inner wall of the first contact hole, and the implementation material of the first isolation layer comprises a dense material.
  • the thickness of the first isolation layer can be less than 100 angstroms.
  • the first isolation layer may be deposited on the inner wall of the first contact hole by atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology.
  • ALD atomic layer deposition
  • ALD technology has good consistency and can closely fit a very thin (e.g., less than 100 angstroms) first isolation layer on the inner wall of the first contact hole.
  • the aperture of the first contact hole after deposition can be as close as possible to the aperture of the first contact hole before deposition, thereby reducing the impact on the subsequent filling of the first metal layer, increasing the process window for filling the first metal layer in the first contact hole, and minimizing the cost impact on the semiconductor device.
  • the dense material may be a single material or a composite material with a high K value (K value is understood as a density parameter value, the larger the K value of a material, the denser the material), for example, including but not limited to: silicon nitride (SiN); a composite material of silicon nitride and silicon oxide (SiO 2 ); a composite material of silicon nitride and metal oxide, wherein the metal oxide may be, for example, aluminum oxide; metal oxide, etc.
  • K value is understood as a density parameter value, the larger the K value of a material, the denser the material
  • the dielectric layer is also referred to as a dielectric layer, an interlayer dielectric layer or an interlayer dielectric layer (ILD), which is an electrical insulating layer disposed between different layers of a semiconductor device.
  • the dielectric layer can be made of a silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) material having a dielectric constant of 3.9 to 4.0, so as to utilize the strong insulation of the silicon dioxide material to better isolate other layers disposed on both sides of the dielectric layer.
  • the etching stop layer is a layer used to limit the etching process to prevent over-etching.
  • the etching stop layer can be made of silicon nitride (SiN) material, so as to utilize the high stress of silicon nitride to neutralize the tensile stress of the dielectric layer adjacent to the silicon nitride, thereby changing the interface characteristics of the dielectric layer, increasing the breakdown voltage of the dielectric layer, and effectively improving the reliability of the semiconductor device.
  • the etching selectivity ratio of any etch stop layer and the adjacent dielectric layer can be greater than 1, that is, the speed of etching the dielectric layer using the same etching material will be faster than the speed of etching the adjacent etch stop layer, so as to ensure that the dielectric layer is etched quickly to the bottom while the etch stop layer is accurately stopped at the desired position by slowly etching.
  • the first contact hole may be an inclined hole, that is, the hole wall of the first contact hole is inclined along the stacking direction. Since the inclined hole is relatively easy to prepare, the requirements for the contact hole preparation process can be reduced.
  • the first isolation layer is disposed between the first metal layer and the inner wall of the first contact hole, and specifically, the first isolation layer is disposed around the first metal layer and the entire inner wall of the first contact hole. In this way, the entire peripheral area of the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole can be surrounded by the first isolation layer, thereby effectively preventing the first metal layer ions filled in the first contact hole from diffusing to the outside of the inner wall of the first contact hole, thereby improving the reliability of the first contact hole.
  • the first metal layer contacts the contact portion, which may specifically mean that the contact portion contacts both the first metal layer and the first isolation layer. In this way, by making the entire conductive interface of the first metal layer contact the contact portion, it helps to expand the flow area of the first metal layer and effectively improve the conductive performance of the contact hole.
  • the material for implementing the first metal layer may include copper, cobalt, tungsten or rubidium, so as to utilize the strong conductivity of these metals to improve the effect of connecting the active region of the device with other devices.
  • the contact portion may be a source, a drain, a gate, or a second metal layer filled in the second contact hole.
  • an isolation layer may be provided on the inner wall of the contact hole directly contacting the device active area to reduce the risk of short circuit between the contact hole directly contacting the device active area and other contact holes or other device active areas.
  • an isolation layer may be provided on the inner wall of the first contact hole contacting the second contact hole to reduce the risk of short circuit between the first contact hole contacting the second contact hole and other contact holes other than the second contact hole and the first contact hole or other device active areas other than the device active area connected to the second contact hole.

Abstract

A semiconductor device, a preparation method and an electronic device, which relate to the technical field of semiconductors. The semiconductor device is provided with contact holes, wherein a metal layer and an isolation layer are provided in each contact hole; the metal layer is in contact with a contact portion by means of the contact hole; the isolation layer is arranged between an inner wall of the contact hole and the metal layer; and materials for the realization of the isolation layer comprise a dense material. It is less likely to break down a dense material than a common dielectric material. Therefore, by means of providing an isolation layer, which is made of materials comprising the dense material, between an inner wall of each contact hole and a metal layer with which the contact hole is filled, the phenomenon of ions in the metal layer breaking down the isolation layer and diffusing outside the contact hole can be effectively prevented, thereby facilitating a reduction in the risk of short-circuiting between the contact hole and the other contact holes or an active area of a device. Moreover, in the solution, there is no need to make the hole diameter of the contact hole very small, thereby facilitating an improvement in process windows for an etching process and a subsequent filling process of the contact hole and a reduction in the difficulty of preparing the semiconductor device.

Description

一种半导体器件、制备方法及电子设备Semiconductor device, preparation method and electronic device 技术领域Technical Field
本申请涉及半导体技术领域,尤其涉及一种半导体器件、制备方法及电子设备。The present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a semiconductor device, a preparation method and an electronic device.
背景技术Background technique
在半导体器件中,接触孔作为多层金属层间互连以及器件有源区(如源极、漏极或栅极等)与芯片中的其它器件之间连接的通道,在半导体器件的结构组成中具有至关重要的作用。然而,随着半导体技术的发展与普及,半导体器件中单位面积内的接触孔数量呈指数级增加,这就导致接触孔之间及接触孔与器件有源区之间的间距越来越小,进而使得接触孔之间及接触孔与器件有源区之间发生短路的风险越来越高。In semiconductor devices, contact holes play a vital role in the structure of semiconductor devices as the channels for interconnecting multiple metal layers and connecting the active area of the device (such as source, drain or gate, etc.) with other devices in the chip. However, with the development and popularization of semiconductor technology, the number of contact holes per unit area in semiconductor devices has increased exponentially, which has led to smaller and smaller spacing between contact holes and between contact holes and device active areas, and thus the risk of short circuits between contact holes and between contact holes and device active areas has increased.
为解决上述问题,一种现有的实现方式中,可通过微缩接触孔的孔径,增大接触孔之间及接触孔与器件有源区之间的间距,实现降低接触孔之间及接触孔与器件有源区之间的短路风险的目的。然而,接触孔的孔径越小,则越难以将接触孔刻蚀到底,且后续填充接触孔时也越容易出现填充空洞,不利于提高半导体器件的可靠性。可见,微缩接触孔孔径的方案对接触孔的刻蚀工艺及后续的填充工艺都提出了巨大的挑战,不利于降低半导体器件的制备难度。In order to solve the above problems, in an existing implementation method, the diameter of the contact hole can be miniaturized to increase the spacing between the contact holes and between the contact hole and the device active area, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the risk of short circuits between the contact holes and between the contact hole and the device active area. However, the smaller the diameter of the contact hole, the more difficult it is to etch the contact hole to the bottom, and the more likely it is to have filling voids when the contact hole is subsequently filled, which is not conducive to improving the reliability of semiconductor devices. It can be seen that the solution of miniaturizing the diameter of the contact hole poses a huge challenge to the etching process of the contact hole and the subsequent filling process, which is not conducive to reducing the difficulty of manufacturing semiconductor devices.
基于此,目前暨需一种半导体器件,用以降低半导体器件的制备难度。Based on this, there is a need for a semiconductor device to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the semiconductor device.
发明内容Summary of the invention
本申请提供一种半导体器件、制备方法及电子设备,用以降低半导体器件的制备难度。The present application provides a semiconductor device, a preparation method and an electronic device, which are used to reduce the difficulty of preparing the semiconductor device.
第一方面,本申请提供一种半导体器件,包括接触部、堆叠结构、第一隔离层和第一金属层。其中,接触部设置在衬底上,堆叠结构堆叠在接触部的一侧。堆叠结构包括交替堆叠的至少一层蚀刻停止层和至少一层介质层,且堆叠结构具有第一接触孔,第一接触孔贯穿堆叠结构并导通至接触部。第一接触孔内设置有第一隔离层和第一金属层,第一金属层通过第一接触孔与接触部接触,第一隔离层设置在第一金属层与第一接触孔的内壁之间,且第一隔离层的实现材料包括致密材料。In a first aspect, the present application provides a semiconductor device, comprising a contact portion, a stacking structure, a first isolation layer and a first metal layer. The contact portion is arranged on a substrate, and the stacking structure is stacked on one side of the contact portion. The stacking structure comprises at least one etching stop layer and at least one dielectric layer alternately stacked, and the stacking structure has a first contact hole, which penetrates the stacking structure and is connected to the contact portion. A first isolation layer and a first metal layer are arranged in the first contact hole, the first metal layer contacts the contact portion through the first contact hole, the first isolation layer is arranged between the first metal layer and the inner wall of the first contact hole, and the implementation material of the first isolation layer comprises a dense material.
在上述设计中,致密材料相比于一般的介电材料更不容易击穿,通过在第一接触孔的内壁和第一接触孔内填充的第一金属层之间设置包括致密材料制备而成的第一隔离层,能有效防止第一金属层的离子击穿第一隔离层而向外扩散的现象发生,如此,即使第一接触孔和其它接触孔之间或第一接触孔和器件有源区之间的间距较小,也能利用第一隔离层隔离第一接触孔内填充的第一金属层和其它接触孔内填充的金属层或器件有源区,有效降低第一接触孔和其它接触孔之间及第一接触孔和器件有源区之间的短路风险。可见,该设计不需要将第一接触孔的孔径做得非常小,从而能提高第一接触孔的刻蚀工艺和后续填充工艺的工艺窗口,有助于降低半导体器件的制备难度。In the above design, dense materials are less likely to break down than general dielectric materials. By setting a first isolation layer made of dense materials between the inner wall of the first contact hole and the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole, the phenomenon of ions of the first metal layer breaking through the first isolation layer and diffusing outward can be effectively prevented. In this way, even if the spacing between the first contact hole and other contact holes or between the first contact hole and the device active area is small, the first isolation layer can be used to isolate the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole from the metal layers or device active areas filled in other contact holes, effectively reducing the risk of short circuits between the first contact hole and other contact holes and between the first contact hole and the device active area. It can be seen that this design does not require the aperture of the first contact hole to be made very small, thereby improving the process window of the etching process of the first contact hole and the subsequent filling process, which helps to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing semiconductor devices.
一种可能的设计中,第一隔离层的厚度可以小于100埃
Figure PCTCN2022122134-appb-000001
通过该设计,即使在第一接触孔的内壁上沉积了一层第一隔离层,由于第一隔离层是非常薄的一层,因此沉积第一隔离层的操作对于第一接触孔的孔径影响不大,如此可以降低对后续第一金属层填充工 艺的工艺窗口的影响。
In one possible design, the thickness of the first isolation layer can be less than 100 angstroms.
Figure PCTCN2022122134-appb-000001
Through this design, even if a first isolation layer is deposited on the inner wall of the first contact hole, since the first isolation layer is a very thin layer, the operation of depositing the first isolation layer has little effect on the aperture of the first contact hole, thereby reducing the impact on the process window of the subsequent first metal layer filling process.
一种可能的设计中,第一隔离层可以是通过原子层沉积(atomic layer deposition,ALD)技术沉积在第一接触孔的内壁上的。其中,ALD技术具有较好的一致性,能将很薄(例如小于100埃)的一层第一隔离层紧密地贴合在第一接触孔的内壁上,如此,既能使沉积之后的第一接触孔的孔径和沉积之前的第一接触孔的孔径尽可能接近,降低对后续第一金属层填充的影响,增大后续在第一接触孔中填充第一金属层的工艺窗口,又能尽量降低对半导体器件的成本影响。In one possible design, the first isolation layer may be deposited on the inner wall of the first contact hole by atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology. ALD technology has good consistency and can closely fit a very thin (e.g., less than 100 angstroms) first isolation layer on the inner wall of the first contact hole. In this way, the aperture of the first contact hole after deposition can be as close as possible to the aperture of the first contact hole before deposition, thereby reducing the impact on the subsequent filling of the first metal layer, increasing the process window for filling the first metal layer in the first contact hole, and minimizing the cost impact on the semiconductor device.
一种可能的设计中,致密材料可以是高K值(K值理解为致密度参数值,材料的K值越大,则材料越致密)的单一材料或复合材料,例如可以包括但不限于:氮化硅(SiN);氮化硅和氧化硅(SiO 2)的复合材料;氮化硅和金属氧化物的复合材料,其中金属氧化物诸如可以是氧化铝等;金属氧化物等。通过采用高K值的材料作为致密材料,能使得其致密性满足防击穿强度的需求,有效实现第一隔离层的隔离功能。 In a possible design, the dense material may be a single material or a composite material with a high K value (K value is understood as a density parameter value, the larger the K value of a material, the denser the material), for example, including but not limited to: silicon nitride (SiN); a composite material of silicon nitride and silicon oxide (SiO 2 ); a composite material of silicon nitride and metal oxide, wherein the metal oxide may be, for example, aluminum oxide; metal oxide, etc. By using a material with a high K value as a dense material, its density can meet the requirements of anti-breakdown strength, and the isolation function of the first isolation layer can be effectively realized.
本申请中,介质层也称为介电层、层间介质层或层间介电层(inter-dielectric layer,ILD),是一种设置在半导体器件的不同层之间的电绝缘层。一个示例中,介质层可以采用介电常数为3.9~4.0的二氧化硅(SiO 2)材料制备而成,以便利用二氧化硅材料的强绝缘性较好地隔离设置在介质层两侧的其它层。 In the present application, the dielectric layer is also referred to as a dielectric layer, an interlayer dielectric layer or an interlayer dielectric layer (ILD), which is an electrical insulating layer disposed between different layers of a semiconductor device. In one example, the dielectric layer can be made of a silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) material having a dielectric constant of 3.9 to 4.0, so as to utilize the strong insulation of the silicon dioxide material to better isolate other layers disposed on both sides of the dielectric layer.
本申请中,蚀刻停止层是一种用于限制蚀刻进程以防止过刻蚀的层。一个示例中,蚀刻停止层可以采用氮化硅(SiN)材料制备而成,以便利用氮化硅的高应力中和与氮化硅相邻的介质层的张应力,进而改变介质层的界面特性,提高介质层的击穿电压,有效提高半导体器件的可靠性。In the present application, the etching stop layer is a layer used to limit the etching process to prevent over-etching. In one example, the etching stop layer can be made of silicon nitride (SiN) material, so as to utilize the high stress of silicon nitride to neutralize the tensile stress of the dielectric layer adjacent to the silicon nitride, thereby changing the interface characteristics of the dielectric layer, increasing the breakdown voltage of the dielectric layer, and effectively improving the reliability of the semiconductor device.
一种可能的设计中,任一蚀刻停止层和相邻的介质层的蚀刻选择比可以大于1,即,采用同一刻蚀材料刻蚀介质层的速度会快于刻蚀相邻的蚀刻停止层的速度,以便在确保快速将介质层刻蚀到底的同时,通过缓慢刻蚀蚀刻停止层准确停在所需的位置。In one possible design, the etching selectivity ratio of any etch stop layer and the adjacent dielectric layer can be greater than 1, that is, the speed of etching the dielectric layer using the same etching material will be faster than the speed of etching the adjacent etch stop layer, so as to ensure that the dielectric layer is etched quickly to the bottom while the etch stop layer is accurately stopped at the desired position by slowly etching.
一种可能的设计中,第一接触孔可以是倾斜孔,即第一接触孔的孔壁沿着堆叠方向倾斜,由于倾斜孔相对容易制备,因此可降低对接触孔制备工艺的要求。In a possible design, the first contact hole may be an inclined hole, that is, the hole wall of the first contact hole is inclined along the stacking direction. Since the inclined hole is relatively easy to prepare, the requirements for the contact hole preparation process can be reduced.
一种可能的设计中,第一隔离层设置在第一金属层与第一接触孔的内壁之间,具体可以是指第一隔离层环绕设置在第一金属层和第一接触孔的整个内壁之间。如此,第一接触孔内填充的第一金属层的整个周边区域都能被第一隔离层所环绕,进而能有效避免第一接触孔中填充的第一金属层离子向第一接触孔的内壁外扩散的现象,提高第一接触孔的可靠性。In a possible design, the first isolation layer is disposed between the first metal layer and the inner wall of the first contact hole, and specifically, the first isolation layer is disposed around the first metal layer and the entire inner wall of the first contact hole. In this way, the entire peripheral area of the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole can be surrounded by the first isolation layer, thereby effectively preventing the first metal layer ions filled in the first contact hole from diffusing to the outside of the inner wall of the first contact hole, thereby improving the reliability of the first contact hole.
一种可能的设计中,第一金属层接触接触部,具体可以是指接触部既接触第一金属层又接触第一隔离层。如此,通过使第一金属层的整个导电界面接触接触部,有助于扩大第一金属层的通流面积,有效提高接触孔的导电性能。In one possible design, the first metal layer contacts the contact portion, which may specifically mean that the contact portion contacts both the first metal layer and the first isolation layer. In this way, by making the entire conductive interface of the first metal layer contact the contact portion, it helps to expand the flow area of the first metal layer and effectively improve the conductive performance of the contact hole.
一种可能的设计中,第一金属层的实现材料可以包括铜、钴、钨或铷,以便利用这些金属的强导电性提高连接器件有源区与其它器件的效果。In a possible design, the material for implementing the first metal layer may include copper, cobalt, tungsten or rubidium, so as to utilize the strong conductivity of these metals to improve the effect of connecting the active region of the device with other devices.
本申请中,接触部可以为源极、漏极、栅极或填充在第二接触孔内的第二金属层。当接触部为源极、漏极或栅极时,能通过在直接接触器件有源区的接触孔的内壁上设置隔离层,降低直接接触器件有源区的接触孔与其它接触孔或其它器件有源区之间的短路风险。当接触部为填充在第二接触孔内的第二金属层时,能通过在接触第二接触孔的第一接触孔的内壁上设置隔离层,降低接触第二接触孔的第一接触孔与除第二接触孔和第一接触孔以 外的其它接触孔或除第二接触孔所连接的器件有源区以外的其它器件有源区之间的短路风险。In the present application, the contact portion may be a source, a drain, a gate, or a second metal layer filled in the second contact hole. When the contact portion is a source, a drain, or a gate, an isolation layer may be provided on the inner wall of the contact hole directly contacting the device active area to reduce the risk of short circuit between the contact hole directly contacting the device active area and other contact holes or other device active areas. When the contact portion is a second metal layer filled in the second contact hole, an isolation layer may be provided on the inner wall of the first contact hole contacting the second contact hole to reduce the risk of short circuit between the first contact hole contacting the second contact hole and other contact holes other than the second contact hole and the first contact hole or other device active areas other than the device active area connected to the second contact hole.
下面分别从不同类型的接触部对半导体器件的结构进行进一步介绍:The following is a further introduction to the structure of semiconductor devices from different types of contact parts:
情况一,接触部为源极或漏极Case 1: The contact is the source or drain
该情况下,至少一层蚀刻停止层可以包括第一蚀刻停止层和第二蚀刻停止层,至少一层介质层可以包括第一介质层。在该设计中,通过在直接接触源极的接触孔或直接接触漏极的接触孔的内壁和直接接触源极的接触孔或直接接触漏极的接触孔内填充的金属层之间设置一层隔离层,能将直接接触源极的接触孔或直接接触漏极的接触孔中填充的金属层与其它接触孔中填充的金属层或其它器件有源区隔离开来,进而能有效避免源极或漏极与其它器件有源区之间发生短路的现象。且,衬底、第一蚀刻停止层、第一介质层和第二蚀刻停止层可构成半导体器件的第1层结构,通过直接接触源极的接触孔内填充的金属层或直接接触漏极的接触孔内填充的金属层将源极或漏极连接至第1层结构的顶层平面,还能在第1层结构的顶层平面上设置源极或漏极连接芯片中的其它器件的走线,如此可将源极或漏极所在的原平面上所需设置的部分走线分散至第1层结构的顶层平面,降低源极或漏极所在的原平面的走线压力。In this case, at least one etching stop layer may include a first etching stop layer and a second etching stop layer, and at least one dielectric layer may include a first dielectric layer. In this design, by providing an isolation layer between the inner wall of the contact hole directly contacting the source or the contact hole directly contacting the drain and the metal layer filled in the contact hole directly contacting the source or the contact hole directly contacting the drain, the metal layer filled in the contact hole directly contacting the source or the contact hole directly contacting the drain can be isolated from the metal layers filled in other contact holes or other device active areas, thereby effectively avoiding the phenomenon of short circuit between the source or the drain and other device active areas. Moreover, the substrate, the first etching stop layer, the first dielectric layer and the second etching stop layer can constitute the first layer structure of the semiconductor device. The source or drain is connected to the top plane of the first layer structure by the metal layer filled in the contact hole that directly contacts the source or the metal layer filled in the contact hole that directly contacts the drain. The source or drain can also be connected to other devices in the chip on the top plane of the first layer structure. In this way, part of the routing that needs to be set on the original plane where the source or drain is located can be dispersed to the top plane of the first layer structure, thereby reducing the routing pressure on the original plane where the source or drain is located.
在情况一中,源极或漏极设置在衬底上,具体可以是指:源极或漏极整体埋在衬底内,且通过导电介质连接至衬底相对于堆叠结构的一侧平面,或者源极或漏极埋在衬底内且一侧表面暴露在衬底相对于堆叠结构的一侧平面,或者源极或漏极的一部分埋在衬底内且另一部分暴露在衬底外,或者,源极或漏极全部暴露在衬底外且一侧表面接触衬底相对于堆叠结构的一侧平面。其中,导电介质可以是具有导电能力的单一介质或混合介质,例如金属、合金(如铜合金或铝合金等)、复合金属、导电塑料、导电橡胶、导电纤维织物、导电涂料、导电胶粘剂、透明导电薄膜及其复合材料等。In case 1, the source or drain is disposed on the substrate, which may specifically mean that: the source or drain is entirely buried in the substrate and connected to a side plane of the substrate relative to the stacking structure through a conductive medium, or the source or drain is buried in the substrate and one side surface is exposed to a side plane of the substrate relative to the stacking structure, or a portion of the source or drain is buried in the substrate and the other portion is exposed outside the substrate, or the source or drain is completely exposed outside the substrate and one side surface contacts a side plane of the substrate relative to the stacking structure. The conductive medium may be a single medium or a mixed medium having conductive capability, such as metal, alloy (such as copper alloy or aluminum alloy, etc.), composite metal, conductive plastic, conductive rubber, conductive fiber fabric, conductive coating, conductive adhesive, transparent conductive film and composite materials thereof, etc.
情况二,接触部为栅极Case 2: The contact is the gate
该情况下,半导体器件还可以包括设置在衬底和堆叠结构之间的依次堆叠的第一蚀刻停止层和第一介质层,至少一层蚀刻停止层可以包括第二蚀刻停止层和第三蚀刻停止层,至少一层介质层可以包括第二介质层。其中,栅极位于栅极孔内,栅极孔还可以包括环绕栅极的侧墙,栅极孔贯穿第一蚀刻停止层和第一介质层,且栅极孔的孔底埋在衬底内。在该设计中,通过在直接接触栅极的接触孔的内壁和直接接触栅极的接触孔内填充的金属层之间上环绕设置一层隔离层,能将直接接触栅极的接触孔中填充的金属层与其它接触孔中填充的金属层以及源极和漏极隔离开,有效避免栅极与源极或漏极之间发生短路的现象。且,衬底、第一蚀刻停止层、第一介质层、第二蚀刻停止层、第二介质层和第三蚀刻停止层可构成半导体器件的第1.5层结构,通过直接接触栅极的接触孔中填充的金属层将栅极连接至第1.5层结构的顶层平面,可在第1.5层结构的顶层平面上设置栅极连接其它器件的走线,如此可将栅极所在的原平面上所需设置的部分走线分散至第1.5层结构的顶层平面,降低栅极所在的原平面的走线压力。In this case, the semiconductor device may further include a first etching stop layer and a first dielectric layer stacked in sequence between the substrate and the stack structure, at least one etching stop layer may include a second etching stop layer and a third etching stop layer, and at least one dielectric layer may include a second dielectric layer. The gate is located in the gate hole, and the gate hole may also include a side wall surrounding the gate. The gate hole penetrates the first etching stop layer and the first dielectric layer, and the bottom of the gate hole is buried in the substrate. In this design, by surrounding an isolation layer between the inner wall of the contact hole directly contacting the gate and the metal layer filled in the contact hole directly contacting the gate, the metal layer filled in the contact hole directly contacting the gate can be isolated from the metal layers filled in other contact holes and the source and drain, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of short circuit between the gate and the source or drain. Moreover, the substrate, the first etch stop layer, the first dielectric layer, the second etch stop layer, the second dielectric layer and the third etch stop layer can constitute the 1.5-layer structure of the semiconductor device. The gate is connected to the top plane of the 1.5-layer structure by the metal layer filled in the contact hole that directly contacts the gate. The routing of the gate connecting other devices can be set on the top plane of the 1.5-layer structure. In this way, part of the routing required on the original plane where the gate is located can be dispersed to the top plane of the 1.5-layer structure, thereby reducing the routing pressure on the original plane where the gate is located.
基于上述情况一和情况二,可以通过上述直接接触栅极的接触孔将栅极连接至第1.5层结构的顶层平面,通过上述直接接触源极的接触孔将源极连接至第1层结构的顶层平面,而漏极则仍然处于原平面,或者,通过上述直接接触漏极的接触孔将漏极连接至第1层结构的顶层平面,而源极则仍然处于原平面。如此,通过该种接触孔设计方式将栅极、源极和漏极错开连接至不同的平面,不仅能避免在同一平面上设置过于密集的走线,有助于降 低后道工艺的制备难度,还能尽可能地隔开后道工艺中栅极所连接的走线、源极所连接的走线和漏极所连接的走线,从而还能进一步降低栅极、源极和漏极之间发生短路的风险。Based on the above-mentioned cases 1 and 2, the gate can be connected to the top plane of the 1.5-layer structure through the above-mentioned contact hole that directly contacts the gate, and the source can be connected to the top plane of the 1-layer structure through the above-mentioned contact hole that directly contacts the source, while the drain is still in the original plane, or the drain can be connected to the top plane of the 1-layer structure through the above-mentioned contact hole that directly contacts the drain, while the source is still in the original plane. In this way, by staggering the connection of the gate, source and drain to different planes through this contact hole design method, not only can it be avoided to set too dense routing on the same plane, which helps to reduce the difficulty of preparation of the back-end process, but it can also separate the routing connected to the gate, the routing connected to the source and the routing connected to the drain as much as possible in the back-end process, thereby further reducing the risk of short circuit between the gate, source and drain.
情况三,接触部为填充在第二接触孔内的第二金属层Case 3: The contact portion is the second metal layer filled in the second contact hole
该情况下,第二接触孔可以是在堆叠方向上和第一接触孔相邻的接触孔,例如导通至栅极的接触孔、导通至源极的接触孔、导通至漏极的接触孔、或者导通至第三接触孔内填充的第三金属层的接触孔。In this case, the second contact hole can be a contact hole adjacent to the first contact hole in the stacking direction, such as a contact hole connected to the gate, a contact hole connected to the source, a contact hole connected to the drain, or a contact hole connected to the third metal layer filled in the third contact hole.
一种可能的设计中,当第二接触孔为导通至源极或漏极的接触孔时,半导体器件还可以包括设置在衬底和堆叠结构之间的依次堆叠的第一蚀刻停止层、第一介质层和第二蚀刻停止层,至少一层蚀刻停止层可以包括K层第三蚀刻停止层,至少一层介质层可以包括K层第二介质层,K为正整数。其中,第二接触孔贯穿第一蚀刻停止层、第一介质层和第二蚀刻停止层,且第二接触孔导通至源极或漏极,源极或漏极设置在衬底上。在该设计中:In a possible design, when the second contact hole is a contact hole connected to the source or drain, the semiconductor device may further include a first etch stop layer, a first dielectric layer, and a second etch stop layer stacked in sequence between the substrate and the stack structure, at least one etch stop layer may include a K-layer third etch stop layer, and at least one dielectric layer may include a K-layer second dielectric layer, where K is a positive integer. The second contact hole penetrates the first etch stop layer, the first dielectric layer, and the second etch stop layer, and the second contact hole is connected to the source or drain, and the source or drain is disposed on the substrate. In this design:
当K的取值为1时,堆叠结构包括一层第二介质层和一层第三蚀刻停止层,该情况下,半导体器件除了可以包括直接接触源极或漏极的第二接触孔以外,还可以包括贯穿第三蚀刻停止层和第二介质层的第一接触孔,第一接触孔导通至第二接触孔内填充的第二金属层,且第一接触孔内设置第一金属层和第一隔离层,第一金属层通过第一接触孔与第二金属层接触,第一隔离层设置在第一接触孔的内壁和第一接触孔内填充的第一金属层之间。如此,通过在直接接触源极或漏极的第二接触孔上再设置一个贯穿一层蚀刻停止层和一层介质层的第一接触孔,能将源极或漏极从原本连接到的第1层结构的顶层平面进一步连接至第1.5层结构的顶层平面,而源极和漏极中的另一电极则仍然被连接至第1层结构的顶层平面,如此可有效降低第1层结构的顶层平面中的走线压力。同时,在第一接触孔的内部上形成一层隔离层,还能在将源极或漏极连接至更高平面的同时,隔离第一接触孔中填充的金属层与除第一接触孔和第二接触孔以外的其它接触孔中填充的金属层或除第二接触孔所接触的器件有源区以外的其它器件有源区,有效降低源极或漏极与周边器件有源区之间发生短路的风险。When the value of K is 1, the stacked structure includes a second dielectric layer and a third etch stop layer. In this case, in addition to the second contact hole directly contacting the source or drain, the semiconductor device may also include a first contact hole penetrating the third etch stop layer and the second dielectric layer, the first contact hole is connected to the second metal layer filled in the second contact hole, and the first metal layer and the first isolation layer are arranged in the first contact hole, the first metal layer contacts the second metal layer through the first contact hole, and the first isolation layer is arranged between the inner wall of the first contact hole and the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole. In this way, by setting a first contact hole penetrating an etch stop layer and a dielectric layer on the second contact hole directly contacting the source or drain, the source or drain can be further connected from the top plane of the first layer structure originally connected to the top plane of the 1.5 layer structure, while the other electrode in the source and the drain is still connected to the top plane of the first layer structure, which can effectively reduce the routing pressure in the top plane of the first layer structure. At the same time, an isolation layer is formed on the inside of the first contact hole, which can isolate the metal layer filled in the first contact hole from the metal layers filled in other contact holes except the first contact hole and the second contact hole or other device active areas except the device active area contacted by the second contact hole while connecting the source or drain to a higher plane, thereby effectively reducing the risk of short circuit between the source or drain and the surrounding device active areas.
当K的取值为2时,堆叠结构包括两层第二介质层和两层第三蚀刻停止层,该情况下,半导体器件除了可以包括直接接触源极或漏极的第二接触孔以外,还可以包括贯穿两层第三蚀刻停止层、两层第二介质层的第一接触孔,第一接触孔导通至第二接触孔内填充的第二金属层,且第一接触孔内设置第一金属层和第一隔离层,第一金属层通过第一接触孔与第二金属层接触,第一隔离层设置在第一接触孔的内壁和第一接触孔内填充的第一金属层之间。该示例中,衬底、第一蚀刻停止层、第一介质层、第二蚀刻停止层、两层第二介质层和两层第三蚀刻停止层可构成半导体器件的第2层结构,通过在直接接触源极或漏极的第二接触孔上再设置一个贯穿两层蚀刻停止层和两层介质层的第一接触孔,能将源极或漏极从原本连接至的第1层结构的顶层平面进一步连接至第2层结构的顶层平面,第2层结构的顶层平面高于栅极所被连接至的第1.5层结构的顶层平面,而源极或漏极中的另一个电极则仍然被连接至第1层结构的顶层平面,如此,通过将栅极、源极和漏极分别连接至不同的平面,能尽量均衡地布局每个平面中的走线。此外,在第一接触孔的内壁上形成一层隔离层,还能隔离第一接触孔内填充的第一金属层与除第一接触孔和第二接触孔以外的其它接触孔中填充的金属层或除第二接触孔所接触的器件有源区以外的其它器件有源区,有效降低源极或漏极与周边器件有源区之间发生短路的风险。When the value of K is 2, the stacked structure includes two second dielectric layers and two third etch stop layers. In this case, in addition to the second contact hole directly contacting the source or drain, the semiconductor device may also include a first contact hole penetrating the two third etch stop layers and the two second dielectric layers, the first contact hole is connected to the second metal layer filled in the second contact hole, and the first metal layer and the first isolation layer are arranged in the first contact hole, the first metal layer contacts the second metal layer through the first contact hole, and the first isolation layer is arranged between the inner wall of the first contact hole and the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole. In this example, the substrate, the first etching stop layer, the first dielectric layer, the second etching stop layer, the two second dielectric layers and the two third etching stop layers can constitute the second layer structure of the semiconductor device. By setting a first contact hole penetrating the two etching stop layers and the two dielectric layers on the second contact hole directly contacting the source or drain, the source or drain can be further connected from the top plane of the first layer structure originally connected to the top plane of the second layer structure. The top plane of the second layer structure is higher than the top plane of the 1.5 layer structure to which the gate is connected, while the other electrode in the source or drain is still connected to the top plane of the first layer structure. In this way, by connecting the gate, source and drain to different planes respectively, the routing in each plane can be laid out as evenly as possible. In addition, forming an isolation layer on the inner wall of the first contact hole can also isolate the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole from the metal layers filled in other contact holes except the first contact hole and the second contact hole or other device active areas except the device active area contacted by the second contact hole, effectively reducing the risk of short circuit between the source or drain and the surrounding device active area.
当K的取值为大于2的整数时,堆叠结构包括至少三层第二介质层和至少三层第三蚀 刻停止层,该情况下,半导体器件中除了可以包括直接接触源极或漏极的第二接触孔以外,还可以包括贯穿至少三层第三蚀刻停止层、至少三层第二介质层的第一接触孔,第一接触孔导通至第二接触孔内填充的第二金属层,且第一接触孔内设置第一金属层和第一隔离层,第一金属层通过第一接触孔与第二金属层接触,第一隔离层设置在第一接触孔的内壁和第一接触孔内填充的第一金属层之间。该设计除了可以降低源极或漏极与其它器件有源区之间发生短路的风险之外,还能通过第一接触孔将源极或漏极连接至高于第2层结构的顶层平面的更高平面,以在半导体器件的密度进一步增大的情况下,进一步分散每个平面上的走线。When the value of K is an integer greater than 2, the stacked structure includes at least three layers of second dielectric layers and at least three layers of third etch stop layers. In this case, in addition to the second contact hole directly contacting the source or drain, the semiconductor device may also include a first contact hole penetrating at least three layers of third etch stop layers and at least three layers of second dielectric layers, the first contact hole is connected to the second metal layer filled in the second contact hole, and the first metal layer and the first isolation layer are arranged in the first contact hole, the first metal layer contacts the second metal layer through the first contact hole, and the first isolation layer is arranged between the inner wall of the first contact hole and the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole. In addition to reducing the risk of short circuit between the source or drain and other device active areas, this design can also connect the source or drain to a higher plane higher than the top plane of the second layer structure through the first contact hole, so as to further disperse the routing on each plane when the density of the semiconductor device is further increased.
另一种可能的设计中,当第二接触孔导通至栅极的接触孔时,半导体器件还可以包括设置在衬底和堆叠结构之间的依次堆叠的第一蚀刻停止层、第一介质层、第二蚀刻停止层、第二介质层和第三蚀刻停止层,至少一层蚀刻停止层可以包括P层第四蚀刻停止层,至少一层介质层可以包括P层第三介质层,P为正整数。其中,第二接触孔贯穿第三蚀刻停止层、第二介质层和第二蚀刻停止层且导通至栅极,栅极填充在栅极孔内,栅极孔还包括环绕栅极的侧墙,栅极孔贯穿第一介质层和第一蚀刻停止层且栅极孔的孔底埋在衬底内。在该设计中:In another possible design, when the second contact hole is connected to the contact hole of the gate, the semiconductor device may also include a first etch stop layer, a first dielectric layer, a second etch stop layer, a second dielectric layer and a third etch stop layer stacked in sequence between the substrate and the stack structure, at least one etch stop layer may include a P-layer fourth etch stop layer, at least one dielectric layer may include a P-layer third dielectric layer, and P is a positive integer. The second contact hole penetrates the third etch stop layer, the second dielectric layer and the second etch stop layer and is connected to the gate, the gate is filled in the gate hole, the gate hole also includes a side wall surrounding the gate, the gate hole penetrates the first dielectric layer and the first etch stop layer, and the bottom of the gate hole is buried in the substrate. In this design:
当P的取值为1时,堆叠结构包括一层第三介质层和一层第四蚀刻停止层,该情况下,半导体器件除了可以包括直接接触栅极的第二接触孔以外,还可以包括贯穿一层第四蚀刻停止层和一层第三介质层的第一接触孔,第一接触孔导通至直接接触栅极的第二接触孔内填充的第二金属层,且第一接触孔内设置第一金属层和第一隔离层,第一金属层通过第一接触孔与第二金属层接触,第一隔离层设置在第一接触孔的内壁和第一接触孔内填充的第一金属层之间。如此,通过在直接接触栅极的第二接触孔上再设置一个贯穿一层介质层和一层蚀刻停止层的第一接触孔,能将栅极从原本连接至的第1.5层结构的顶层平面连接至第2层结构的顶层平面,如此能在半导体器件的密度进一步增大时,避免在第1.5层结构的顶层平面上设置过于密集的走线,降低后道工艺的制备难度。同时,在第一接触孔的内壁上形成一层第一隔离层,还能在将栅极连接至更高的平面的同时,隔离第一接触孔中填充的第一金属层与周边金属层或器件有源区,降低栅极与周边器件有源区之间发生短路的风险。When the value of P is 1, the stacked structure includes a third dielectric layer and a fourth etch stop layer. In this case, in addition to the second contact hole directly contacting the gate, the semiconductor device may also include a first contact hole penetrating a fourth etch stop layer and a third dielectric layer, the first contact hole is connected to the second metal layer filled in the second contact hole directly contacting the gate, and the first metal layer and the first isolation layer are arranged in the first contact hole, the first metal layer contacts the second metal layer through the first contact hole, and the first isolation layer is arranged between the inner wall of the first contact hole and the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole. In this way, by setting a first contact hole penetrating a dielectric layer and an etch stop layer on the second contact hole directly contacting the gate, the gate can be connected from the top plane of the 1.5-layer structure originally connected to the top plane of the 2-layer structure, so that when the density of the semiconductor device is further increased, it is possible to avoid setting too dense routing on the top plane of the 1.5-layer structure, thereby reducing the difficulty of preparation of the back-end process. At the same time, a first isolation layer is formed on the inner wall of the first contact hole, which can isolate the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole from the surrounding metal layer or the device active area while connecting the gate to a higher plane, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit between the gate and the surrounding device active area.
当P的取值为2时,堆叠结构包括两层第三介质层和两层第四蚀刻停止层,该情况下,半导体器件除了可以包括直接接触栅极的第二接触孔以外,还可以包括贯穿两层第四蚀刻停止层和两层第三介质层的第一接触孔,第一接触孔导通至直接接触栅极的第二接触孔内填充的第二金属层,且第一接触孔内设置第一金属层和第一隔离层,第一金属层通过第一接触孔与第二金属层接触,第一隔离层设置在第一接触孔的内壁和第一接触孔内填充的第一金属层之间。该设计中,衬底、第一蚀刻停止层、第一介质层、第二蚀刻停止层、第二介质层、第三蚀刻停止层、两层第三介质层和两层第四蚀刻停止层构成半导体器件的第2.5层结构,通过在直接接触栅极的第二接触孔上再设置一个贯穿两层介质层和两层蚀刻停止层的第一接触孔,能将栅极从原本连接至的第1.5层结构的顶层平面连接至第2.5层结构的顶层平面,而第2.5层结构的顶层平面高于第2层结构的顶层平面,如此能在半导体器件的密度进一步增大时,避免在第1.5层结构的顶层平面和第2层结构的顶层平面上设置过于密集的走线,降低后道工艺的制备难度。同时,在第一接触孔的侧壁上形成一层第一隔离层,还能在将栅极连接至更高的平面的同时,隔离第一接触孔中填充的第一金属层与 周边金属层或器件有源区,降低栅极与周边器件有源区之间发生短路的风险。When the value of P is 2, the stacked structure includes two third dielectric layers and two fourth etch stop layers. In this case, in addition to the second contact hole directly contacting the gate, the semiconductor device may also include a first contact hole penetrating the two fourth etch stop layers and the two third dielectric layers, the first contact hole is connected to the second metal layer filled in the second contact hole directly contacting the gate, and the first metal layer and the first isolation layer are arranged in the first contact hole, the first metal layer is in contact with the second metal layer through the first contact hole, and the first isolation layer is arranged between the inner wall of the first contact hole and the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole. In this design, the substrate, the first etching stop layer, the first dielectric layer, the second etching stop layer, the second dielectric layer, the third etching stop layer, two third dielectric layers and two fourth etching stop layers constitute the 2.5-layer structure of the semiconductor device. By setting a first contact hole penetrating two dielectric layers and two etching stop layers on the second contact hole directly contacting the gate, the gate can be connected from the top plane of the 1.5-layer structure originally connected to the top plane of the 2.5-layer structure, and the top plane of the 2.5-layer structure is higher than the top plane of the 2-layer structure. In this way, when the density of the semiconductor device is further increased, it is possible to avoid setting too dense routing on the top plane of the 1.5-layer structure and the top plane of the 2-layer structure, thereby reducing the difficulty of preparation of the back-end process. At the same time, a first isolation layer is formed on the sidewall of the first contact hole, and the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole can be isolated from the surrounding metal layer or the device active area while connecting the gate to a higher plane, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit between the gate and the surrounding device active area.
当P的取值为大于2的整数时,堆叠结构包括至少三层第三介质层和至少三层第四蚀刻停止层,该情况下,半导体器件除了可以包括直接接触栅极的第二接触孔以外,还可以包括贯穿至少三层第四蚀刻停止层和至少三层第三介质层的第一接触孔,第一接触孔导通至直接接触栅极的第二接触孔内填充的第二金属层,且第一接触孔内设置第一金属层和第一隔离层,第一金属层通过第一接触孔与第二金属层接触,第一隔离层设置在第一接触孔的内壁和第一接触孔内填充的第一金属层之间。该设计除了可以降低栅极与其它器件有源区之间发生短路的风险之外,还能通过第一接触孔将栅极连接至高于第2.5层结构的顶层平面的更高平面,以在半导体器件的密度进一步增大的情况下,进一步分散每个平面上的走线。When the value of P is an integer greater than 2, the stacked structure includes at least three third dielectric layers and at least three fourth etch stop layers. In this case, in addition to the second contact hole directly contacting the gate, the semiconductor device may also include a first contact hole that penetrates at least three fourth etch stop layers and at least three third dielectric layers, the first contact hole is connected to the second metal layer filled in the second contact hole directly contacting the gate, and the first metal layer and the first isolation layer are arranged in the first contact hole, the first metal layer contacts the second metal layer through the first contact hole, and the first isolation layer is arranged between the inner wall of the first contact hole and the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole. In addition to reducing the risk of short circuit between the gate and other device active areas, this design can also connect the gate to a higher plane higher than the top plane of the 2.5-layer structure through the first contact hole, so as to further disperse the routing on each plane when the density of the semiconductor device is further increased.
在上述情况三中,第二接触孔内还可以设置有第二隔离层,第二隔离层设置在第二接触孔的内壁和第二金属层之间。如此,通过在第二接触孔和设置在第二接触孔上的第一接触孔的内壁上均设置一层隔离层,使得两个接触孔中填充的金属层都能与其它接触孔中填充的金属层或器件有源区相隔离,从而有助于进一步降低接触孔之间以及接触孔与器件有源区之间的短路风险。In the above situation 3, a second isolation layer may also be provided in the second contact hole, and the second isolation layer is provided between the inner wall of the second contact hole and the second metal layer. In this way, by providing an isolation layer on the inner wall of the second contact hole and the first contact hole provided on the second contact hole, the metal layers filled in the two contact holes can be isolated from the metal layers or device active areas filled in other contact holes, thereby helping to further reduce the risk of short circuits between contact holes and between contact holes and device active areas.
进一步地,当第二接触孔的内壁和第二金属层之间设置第二隔离层时,第二隔离层的厚度可以小于100埃
Figure PCTCN2022122134-appb-000002
例如第二隔离层也可以是采用ALD技术沉积设置在第二接触孔的内壁上的,以降低对后续第二金属层填充工艺的工艺窗口的影响。
Furthermore, when a second isolation layer is disposed between the inner wall of the second contact hole and the second metal layer, the thickness of the second isolation layer may be less than 100 angstroms.
Figure PCTCN2022122134-appb-000002
For example, the second isolation layer may also be deposited on the inner wall of the second contact hole by using the ALD technology to reduce the impact on the process window of the subsequent second metal layer filling process.
进一步地,当第二接触孔的内壁和第二金属层之间设置第二隔离层时,第二隔离层可以环绕设置在第二接触孔的整个内壁上,以有效避免第二接触孔中填充的第二金属层离子向第二接触孔的内壁外扩散的现象,提高第二接触孔的可靠性。Furthermore, when a second isolation layer is set between the inner wall of the second contact hole and the second metal layer, the second isolation layer can be set around the entire inner wall of the second contact hole to effectively prevent the second metal layer ions filled in the second contact hole from diffusing outside the inner wall of the second contact hole, thereby improving the reliability of the second contact hole.

一种具体的应用场景中,本申请所公开的方案可以适用于CMOS器件。图1示例性示出本申请实施例提供的一种CMOS器件的结构示意图,如图1所示,该示例中,CMOS器件可以包括衬底110、第一蚀刻停止层211、第一介质层221、第二蚀刻停止层212、源极101、漏极102、栅极103以及环绕栅极103的侧墙104。其中,衬底110、第一蚀刻停止层211、第一介质层221和第二蚀刻停止层212依次堆叠,源极101和漏极102设置在衬底110内,且源极101和漏极102的上表面暴露在衬底110相对于第一蚀刻停止层211的一侧平面上,栅极103和侧墙104位于栅极孔内,栅极孔贯穿第一介质层221和第一蚀刻停止层211,且栅极孔的孔底埋在衬底110内,栅极103的上表面暴露在第一介质层221相对于第二蚀刻停止层212的一侧平面。该示例中,侧墙104可以起到隔离栅极103与其它器件有源区(如源极101和漏极102)、以及避免栅极103在栅极孔内填充不足而形成空洞的作用。In a specific application scenario, the solution disclosed in the present application can be applied to CMOS devices. FIG1 exemplarily shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a CMOS device provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG1 , in this example, the CMOS device may include a substrate 110 , a first etch stop layer 211 , a first dielectric layer 221 , a second etch stop layer 212 , a source 101 , a drain 102 , a gate 103 , and a sidewall 104 surrounding the gate 103 . The substrate 110, the first etching stop layer 211, the first dielectric layer 221 and the second etching stop layer 212 are stacked in sequence, the source 101 and the drain 102 are arranged in the substrate 110, and the upper surfaces of the source 101 and the drain 102 are exposed on a side plane of the substrate 110 relative to the first etching stop layer 211, the gate 103 and the sidewall 104 are located in the gate hole, the gate hole penetrates the first dielectric layer 221 and the first etching stop layer 211, and the bottom of the gate hole is buried in the substrate 110, and the upper surface of the gate 103 is exposed on a side plane of the first dielectric layer 221 relative to the second etching stop layer 212. In this example, the sidewall 104 can isolate the gate 103 from other device active areas (such as the source 101 and the drain 102), and prevent the gate 103 from being insufficiently filled in the gate hole to form a void.
应理解,图示CMOS器件仅是一个范例,并且CMOS器件可以具有比图中所示出的更多的或者更少的层,也可以组合两个或更多的层,或者可以具有不同的层配置。例如,另一种示例中,源极101或漏极102的上表面也可以埋在衬底110的内部而不暴露在衬底110相对于第一蚀刻停止层211的一侧平面上,该情况下,还可以通过导电介质将源极101或漏极102连接至衬底110相对于第一蚀刻停止层211的一侧平面上。又例如,再一个示例中,如果不考虑同层走线的复杂程度,则栅极103也可以如源极101或漏极102一样,埋在衬底110内且上表面暴露在衬底110相对于第一蚀刻停止层211的一侧平面上,该情况下,CMOS器件中可以无需再设置第一介质层221和第二蚀刻停止层212。需要说明的是,可能的变形方式还有很多,此处不再一一列举。It should be understood that the illustrated CMOS device is only an example, and the CMOS device may have more or fewer layers than those shown in the figure, may combine two or more layers, or may have different layer configurations. For example, in another example, the upper surface of the source 101 or the drain 102 may also be buried inside the substrate 110 without being exposed on a side plane of the substrate 110 relative to the first etching stop layer 211. In this case, the source 101 or the drain 102 may also be connected to a side plane of the substrate 110 relative to the first etching stop layer 211 through a conductive medium. For another example, in another example, if the complexity of the same-layer routing is not considered, the gate 103 may also be buried in the substrate 110 like the source 101 or the drain 102, and the upper surface may be exposed on a side plane of the substrate 110 relative to the first etching stop layer 211. In this case, the first dielectric layer 221 and the second etching stop layer 212 may no longer be provided in the CMOS device. It should be noted that there are many possible deformation methods, which are not listed here one by one.
本申请实施例中,栅极、源极和漏极称为器件有源区,器件有源区还需要与芯片中的其它器件或线路相连,比如芯片中的其它晶体管(例如后道晶体管),控制电路,或者是信号线。其中,器件有源区与芯片中的其它器件的相连可以通过在半导体器件中制备接触孔结构以及在接触孔结构上进行信号布线来实现。示例性地,基于图1所示意的CMOS器件,图2示出业界提供的一种接触孔结构的制备流程示意图,如图2所示,该流程包括:In the embodiment of the present application, the gate, source and drain are referred to as the device active area, and the device active area also needs to be connected to other devices or lines in the chip, such as other transistors in the chip (such as back-end transistors), control circuits, or signal lines. Among them, the connection between the device active area and other devices in the chip can be achieved by preparing a contact hole structure in the semiconductor device and performing signal wiring on the contact hole structure. Exemplarily, based on the CMOS device shown in FIG1, FIG2 shows a schematic diagram of a preparation process of a contact hole structure provided by the industry. As shown in FIG2, the process includes:
步骤一,如图2中(A)所示,刻蚀形成源极接触孔120(即直接接触源极101的接触孔)、漏极接触孔121(即直接接触漏极102的接触孔)和栅极接触孔122(即直接接触栅极103的接触孔),源极接触孔120至少贯穿第二蚀刻停止层212、第一介质层221和第一蚀刻停止层211并导通至源极101,漏极接触孔121至少贯穿第二蚀刻停止层212、第一介质层221和第一蚀刻停止层211并导通至漏极102,栅极接触孔122至少贯穿第二蚀刻停止层212并导通至栅极103; Step 1, as shown in FIG. 2 (A), a source contact hole 120 (i.e., a contact hole directly contacting the source 101), a drain contact hole 121 (i.e., a contact hole directly contacting the drain 102) and a gate contact hole 122 (i.e., a contact hole directly contacting the gate 103) are formed by etching, wherein the source contact hole 120 at least penetrates the second etch stop layer 212, the first dielectric layer 221 and the first etch stop layer 211 and is connected to the source 101, the drain contact hole 121 at least penetrates the second etch stop layer 212, the first dielectric layer 221 and the first etch stop layer 211 and is connected to the drain 102, and the gate contact hole 122 at least penetrates the second etch stop layer 212 and is connected to the gate 103;
步骤二,如图2中(B)所示,在源极接触孔120、漏极接触孔121和栅极接触孔122中填充金属层130,源极接触孔120中填充的金属层130用于连接源极101和源极101对应的芯片中的其它器件,漏极接触孔121中填充的金属层130用于连接漏极102和漏极102对应的芯片中的其它器件,栅极接触孔122中填充的金属层130用于连接栅极103和栅极103对应的芯片中的其它器件。In step two, as shown in (B) in FIG2 , a metal layer 130 is filled in the source contact hole 120, the drain contact hole 121 and the gate contact hole 122. The metal layer 130 filled in the source contact hole 120 is used to connect the source 101 and other devices in the chip corresponding to the source 101, the metal layer 130 filled in the drain contact hole 121 is used to connect the drain 102 and other devices in the chip corresponding to the drain 102, and the metal layer 130 filled in the gate contact hole 122 is used to connect the gate 103 and other devices in the chip corresponding to the gate 103.
采用上述图2所示意的制备方法,通过源极接触孔120、漏极接触孔121和栅极接触孔122中填充的金属层130,能将源极101、栅极103和漏极102连接至第二蚀刻停止层212相背于第一介质层221的一侧平面(即平面H),进而可通过在该侧平面H上设置走线连接源极接触孔120中填充的金属层130和源极101对应的芯片中的其它器件、漏极接触孔121中填充的金属层130和漏极102对应的芯片中的其它器件、栅极接触孔122中填充的金属层130和栅极103对应的芯片中的其它器件,以实现源极101、漏极102和栅极103与芯片中的其它器件的连通。然而,当CMOS器件的密度升高时,在图2所示意的同样面积的衬底110上会包含更多的源极101、栅极103或漏极102,该情况下,垂直于堆叠方向的平面上所需设置的接触孔的数量也会相应增多,而这使得任意两个接触孔之间以及接触孔与除该接触孔所连接的器件有源区以外的其它器件有源区(如源极接触孔120与栅极103或漏极102,漏极接触孔121与栅极103或源极101,栅极接触孔122与源极101或漏极102)之间的间距变小,如此,任一接触孔中填充的金属层130也就越容易渗透至其它接触孔或其它器件有源区,导致接触孔之间以及接触孔与其它器件有源区之间的短路风险增大,CMOS器件的可靠性降低。虽然也可以通过微缩接触孔的孔径,以间接增大接触孔之间以及接触孔与其它器件有源区之间的间距,但小孔径的接触孔较难刻蚀,且后续填充时也容易产生空洞,可见,该种解决方案会增大CMOS器件的制备难度,降低CMOS器件的制备良率。此外,上述制备方法通过接触孔结构将源极101、栅极103和漏极102都连接至同一平面H上,随着CMOS器件的密度升高,该平面H上的走线也会越来越密集,密集的走线不仅不利于后道工艺(包括制备好半导体后,设置半导体器件与芯片中的其它器件的连线)的制备,且还可能会由于走线之间的间距过短而使得走线之间产生短路现象,进一步降低CMOS器件的制备良率和可靠性。By adopting the preparation method shown in FIG. 2 , the source 101, the gate 103 and the drain 102 can be connected to a side plane (i.e., plane H) of the second etching stop layer 212 opposite to the first dielectric layer 221 through the metal layer 130 filled in the source contact hole 120, the drain contact hole 121 and the gate contact hole 122. Then, wiring can be set on the side plane H to connect the metal layer 130 filled in the source contact hole 120 and other devices in the chip corresponding to the source 101, the metal layer 130 filled in the drain contact hole 121 and other devices in the chip corresponding to the drain 102, and the metal layer 130 filled in the gate contact hole 122 and other devices in the chip corresponding to the gate 103, so as to realize the connection between the source 101, the drain 102 and the gate 103 and other devices in the chip. However, when the density of CMOS devices increases, the substrate 110 of the same area as shown in FIG. 2 will include more sources 101, gates 103 or drains 102. In this case, the number of contact holes required to be set on the plane perpendicular to the stacking direction will also increase accordingly, which makes the distance between any two contact holes and between the contact holes and other device active areas other than the device active area connected to the contact holes (such as the source contact hole 120 and the gate 103 or drain 102, the drain contact hole 121 and the gate 103 or source 101, and the gate contact hole 122 and the source 101 or drain 102) smaller. In this way, the metal layer 130 filled in any contact hole will more easily penetrate into other contact holes or other device active areas, resulting in an increased risk of short circuits between contact holes and between contact holes and other device active areas, and a reduced reliability of the CMOS device. Although the contact holes can be miniaturized to indirectly increase the spacing between the contact holes and between the contact holes and other device active areas, small-diameter contact holes are difficult to etch and are prone to voids during subsequent filling. This solution increases the difficulty of manufacturing CMOS devices and reduces the manufacturing yield of CMOS devices. In addition, the above-mentioned manufacturing method connects the source 101, the gate 103, and the drain 102 to the same plane H through the contact hole structure. As the density of CMOS devices increases, the wiring on the plane H will become more and more dense. The dense wiring is not only not conducive to the preparation of the back-end process (including setting the connection between the semiconductor device and other devices in the chip after the semiconductor is prepared), but may also cause short circuits between the wiring due to the short spacing between the wiring, further reducing the manufacturing yield and reliability of the CMOS device.
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提供一种半导体器件,用于在接触孔的内壁和接触孔中填充的金属层之间设置一层隔离层,同时通过接触孔尽量将不同的器件有源区连接至半导体器件的不同层,如此,既能通过隔离层的隔离作用降低接触孔之间以及接触孔与器件有源区之间的短路风险,而不需要将接触孔的孔径做得非常小,有助于降低对半导体器件的制备难度,提高半导体器件的制备良率和可靠性,又能尽量减少半导体器件的同一层中所需设置的走线数量,降低后道工艺的制备难度,进一步提高半导体器件的制备良率和可靠性。In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a semiconductor device for setting an isolation layer between the inner wall of a contact hole and the metal layer filled in the contact hole, and at the same time connecting different device active areas to different layers of the semiconductor device through the contact hole as much as possible. In this way, the risk of short circuit between the contact holes and between the contact holes and the device active areas can be reduced through the isolation effect of the isolation layer without making the aperture of the contact hole very small, which helps to reduce the difficulty of preparing the semiconductor device and improve the preparation yield and reliability of the semiconductor device. It can also minimize the number of routings required to be set in the same layer of the semiconductor device, reduce the difficulty of preparation of the subsequent process, and further improve the preparation yield and reliability of the semiconductor device.
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。The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

【实施例一】[Example 1]
图3示例性示出本申请实施例提供的一种半导体器件的结构示意图,如图3所示,该示例中,半导体器件包括接触部100、堆叠结构200、第一隔离层310和第一金属层320。其中,接触部100设置在衬底110上,堆叠结构200堆叠在接触部100的一侧,堆叠结构200包括交替堆叠的至少一层蚀刻停止层210和至少一层介质层220,堆叠结构200具有第一接触孔300,第一接触孔300贯穿堆叠结构200并导通至接触部100,第一金属层320通过第一接触孔300接触接触部100,第一隔离层310设置在第一金属层320和第一接触孔300的内壁之间,且第一隔离层310的实现材料包括致密材料。其中,致密材料是指无残留孔隙或相对密度不小于98%的材料,致密材料相比于一般的介电材料具有更大的防击穿强度,如此,通过在第一接触孔300的内壁和第一接触孔300内填充的第一金属层320之间设置包括致密材料制备而成的第一隔离层310,即使第一接触孔300内填充的第一金属层320的金属离子发生移动,也能被第一隔离层310隔离在第一接触孔300内,而不会移动到第一接触孔300以外的其它接触孔或器件有源区,可见,第一隔离层310能起到隔离第一接触孔300内填充的第一金属层320和第一接触孔300以外的其它接触孔或器件有源区的作用,可有效防止第一接触孔300和其它接触孔或器件有源区之间发生短路的现象。FIG3 exemplarily shows a schematic structural diagram of a semiconductor device provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG3 , in this example, the semiconductor device includes a contact portion 100, a stacked structure 200, a first isolation layer 310, and a first metal layer 320. The contact portion 100 is disposed on a substrate 110, the stacked structure 200 is stacked on one side of the contact portion 100, the stacked structure 200 includes at least one etch stop layer 210 and at least one dielectric layer 220 alternately stacked, the stacked structure 200 has a first contact hole 300, the first contact hole 300 penetrates the stacked structure 200 and is connected to the contact portion 100, the first metal layer 320 contacts the contact portion 100 through the first contact hole 300, the first isolation layer 310 is disposed between the first metal layer 320 and the inner wall of the first contact hole 300, and the material of the first isolation layer 310 includes a dense material. Among them, dense material refers to a material without residual pores or with a relative density of not less than 98%. Dense material has greater anti-breakdown strength than general dielectric materials. In this way, by setting a first isolation layer 310 made of dense material between the inner wall of the first contact hole 300 and the first metal layer 320 filled in the first contact hole 300, even if the metal ions of the first metal layer 320 filled in the first contact hole 300 move, they can be isolated in the first contact hole 300 by the first isolation layer 310 and will not move to other contact holes or device active areas outside the first contact hole 300. It can be seen that the first isolation layer 310 can isolate the first metal layer 320 filled in the first contact hole 300 from other contact holes or device active areas outside the first contact hole 300, and can effectively prevent the short circuit between the first contact hole 300 and other contact holes or device active areas.
需要说明的是,第一隔离层310的实现材料包括致密材料,可以是指第一隔离层310全部由致密材料制备而成,也可以是指第一隔离层由致密材料和其它材料混合制备而成,如致密材料和其它具有较强的防击穿强度的材料,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。It should be noted that the material used to implement the first isolation layer 310 includes a dense material, which may mean that the first isolation layer 310 is entirely made of dense material, or that the first isolation layer is made of a mixture of dense material and other materials, such as dense material and other materials with strong anti-breakdown strength. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.
本申请实施例中,致密材料具体可以是高K值(K值理解为致密度参数值,材料的K值越大,则材料越致密)的单一材料或复合材料,例如可以包括但不限于:氮化硅(SiN);氮化硅和氧化硅(SiO 2)的复合材料;氮化硅和金属氧化物的复合材料,其中金属氧化物诸如可以是氧化铝等;金属氧化物等。如此,通过采用高K值的材料作为致密材料,能使得其致密性满足防击穿强度的需求,有效实现第一隔离层310的隔离功能。 In the embodiment of the present application, the dense material can be a single material or a composite material with a high K value (K value is understood as a density parameter value, and the larger the K value of a material, the denser the material), for example, it can include but is not limited to: silicon nitride (SiN); a composite material of silicon nitride and silicon oxide (SiO 2 ); a composite material of silicon nitride and metal oxide, wherein the metal oxide can be, for example, aluminum oxide; metal oxide, etc. In this way, by using a material with a high K value as a dense material, its density can meet the requirements of anti-breakdown strength, and the isolation function of the first isolation layer 310 can be effectively realized.
本申请实施例中,随着半导体技术的发展,同样尺寸的半导体器件中需要制备越来越多的接触孔,而接触孔的孔径越小,则设置在接触孔的内壁和金属层之间的隔离层也需要做的越薄,如此才能降低在小孔径的接触孔内填充金属层的工艺难度。然而,在小孔径的接触孔中沉积较薄的隔离层,在制作工艺上是非常难以实现的。为解决该问题,一种可能的设计中,可以通过原子层沉积(atomic layer deposition,ALD)技术将第一隔离层310沉积设置在第一接触孔300的内壁上。其中,ALD技术具有较好的一致性,能将很薄(例如小于100埃)的一层第一隔离层310紧密地贴合在第一接触孔300的内壁上,如此,既能使沉积之后的第一接触孔300的孔径和沉积之前的第一接触孔300的孔径尽可能接近, 降低对后续第一金属层320填充的影响,增大后续在第一接触孔300中填充第一金属层320的工艺窗口,又能使用尽可能少的第一隔离层材料,尽量降低对半导体器件的成本影响。In the embodiment of the present application, with the development of semiconductor technology, more and more contact holes need to be prepared in semiconductor devices of the same size, and the smaller the aperture of the contact hole, the thinner the isolation layer arranged between the inner wall of the contact hole and the metal layer needs to be, so as to reduce the process difficulty of filling the metal layer in the contact hole with a small aperture. However, it is very difficult to deposit a thinner isolation layer in a contact hole with a small aperture in terms of manufacturing process. To solve this problem, in one possible design, the first isolation layer 310 can be deposited on the inner wall of the first contact hole 300 by atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology. Among them, the ALD technology has good consistency and can tightly fit a very thin (for example, less than 100 angstroms) first isolation layer 310 on the inner wall of the first contact hole 300. In this way, the aperture of the first contact hole 300 after deposition can be as close as possible to the aperture of the first contact hole 300 before deposition, thereby reducing the impact on the subsequent filling of the first metal layer 320, increasing the process window for subsequent filling of the first metal layer 320 in the first contact hole 300, and using as little first isolation layer material as possible to minimize the cost impact on the semiconductor device.
本申请实施例中,接触部100设置在衬底110上,可以是指接触部100部分或全部接触衬底110。示例性地,图4示出本申请实施例提供的一种接触部与衬底的设置方式示意图,其中,接触部100设置在衬底110上,可以是指如图4中(A)所示意的接触部100整体埋在衬底110内,且通过导电介质连接至衬底110相对于第一蚀刻停止层210的一侧平面上,也可以是指如图4中(B)所示意的接触部100埋在衬底110内,且接触部100的一侧表面(如图4中(B)所示的上表面)暴露在衬底110相对于第一蚀刻停止层210的一侧平面上,还可以是指如图4中(C)所示意的接触部100的一部分埋在衬底110内,且另一部分暴露在衬底110相对于第一蚀刻停止层210的一侧平面外,亦可以是指如图4中(D)所示意的接触部100整体暴露在衬底110外,且一侧表面(如图4中(D)所示的下表面)接触衬底110相对于第一蚀刻停止层210的一侧平面。其中,导电介质可以是具有导电能力的单一介质或混合介质,例如金属、合金(如铜合金或铝合金等)、复合金属、导电塑料、导电橡胶、导电纤维织物、导电涂料、导电胶粘剂、透明导电薄膜及其复合材料等,具体不作限定。In the embodiment of the present application, the contact portion 100 is disposed on the substrate 110 , which may mean that the contact portion 100 partially or completely contacts the substrate 110 . By way of example, FIG4 shows a schematic diagram of a contact portion and a substrate arrangement method provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the contact portion 100 is arranged on the substrate 110, which may refer to the contact portion 100 as shown in FIG4 (A) being entirely buried in the substrate 110 and connected to a side plane of the substrate 110 relative to the first etch stop layer 210 through a conductive medium, or may refer to the contact portion 100 as shown in FIG4 (B) being buried in the substrate 110 and a side surface of the contact portion 100 (the upper surface as shown in FIG4 (B)) being exposed on a side plane of the substrate 110 relative to the first etch stop layer 210, or may refer to the contact portion 100 as shown in FIG4 (C) being partially buried in the substrate 110 and another part being exposed outside a side plane of the substrate 110 relative to the first etch stop layer 210, or may refer to the contact portion 100 as shown in FIG4 (D) being entirely exposed outside the substrate 110 and a side surface (the lower surface as shown in FIG4 (D)) being in contact with a side plane of the substrate 110 relative to the first etch stop layer 210. Among them, the conductive medium can be a single medium or a mixed medium with conductive ability, such as metal, alloy (such as copper alloy or aluminum alloy, etc.), composite metal, conductive plastic, conductive rubber, conductive fiber fabric, conductive coating, conductive adhesive, transparent conductive film and its composite material, etc., without specific limitation.
应理解,接触部100在衬底110上还可以是其它的设置方式,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。It should be understood that the contact portion 100 may be disposed on the substrate 110 in other ways, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.
本申请实施例中,金属层320也称为金属插塞,是一种由金属材料构成的具有导电能力的电极,实现材料可以包括铜、钴、钨、铷或其它具有强导电性的金属材料,以利用这些金属材料的强导电性提高第一金属层320连接器件有源区的效果。其中,金属层320可以是实心的,也可以是空心的,比如由一层薄薄的金属材料环绕而成的圆环柱。In the embodiment of the present application, the metal layer 320 is also called a metal plug, which is an electrode with conductive ability made of metal material, and the material can include copper, cobalt, tungsten, rubidium or other metal materials with strong conductivity, so as to utilize the strong conductivity of these metal materials to improve the effect of the first metal layer 320 connecting the device active area. The metal layer 320 can be solid or hollow, such as a circular column surrounded by a thin layer of metal material.
本申请实施例中,介质层220也称为介电层、层间介质层或层间介电层(inter-dielectric layer,ILD),是一种设置在半导体器件的不同层之间的电绝缘层,起到隔离膜的作用。一个示例中,介质层220可以采用介电常数为3.9~4.0的二氧化硅(SiO 2)材料制备而成,以便利用二氧化硅材料的强绝缘性较好地隔离设置在介质层220两侧的其它层。 In the embodiment of the present application, the dielectric layer 220 is also called a dielectric layer, an interlayer dielectric layer or an interlayer dielectric layer (ILD), which is an electrical insulating layer disposed between different layers of a semiconductor device and acts as an isolation film. In one example, the dielectric layer 220 can be made of a silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) material having a dielectric constant of 3.9 to 4.0, so as to utilize the strong insulation of the silicon dioxide material to better isolate other layers disposed on both sides of the dielectric layer 220.
本申请实施例中,蚀刻停止层210是一种用于限制蚀刻进程以防止过刻蚀的层。一个示例中,蚀刻停止层210可以采用氮化硅(SiN)材料制备而成,以便利用氮化硅的高应力中和与氮化硅相邻的介质层220的张应力,进而改变介质层220的界面特性,提高介质层220的击穿电压,有效提高半导体器件的可靠性。In the embodiment of the present application, the etching stop layer 210 is a layer used to limit the etching process to prevent over-etching. In one example, the etching stop layer 210 can be made of silicon nitride (SiN) material, so as to use the high stress of silicon nitride to neutralize the tensile stress of the dielectric layer 220 adjacent to the silicon nitride, thereby changing the interface characteristics of the dielectric layer 220, improving the breakdown voltage of the dielectric layer 220, and effectively improving the reliability of the semiconductor device.
本申请实施例中,堆叠结构200中的任一蚀刻停止层210和相邻的介质层220的蚀刻选择比可以设置为大于1。即,采用同一刻蚀材料刻蚀介质层220的速度会快于刻蚀相邻的蚀刻停止层210的速度,以便在确保能快速将介质层220刻蚀到底的同时,通过缓慢刻蚀蚀刻停止层210准确停在所需的位置。In the embodiment of the present application, the etching selectivity ratio between any etch stop layer 210 and the adjacent dielectric layer 220 in the stacked structure 200 can be set to be greater than 1. That is, the speed of etching the dielectric layer 220 using the same etching material will be faster than the speed of etching the adjacent etch stop layer 210, so that while ensuring that the dielectric layer 220 can be quickly etched to the bottom, the etch stop layer 210 can be accurately stopped at the desired position by slowly etching.
本申请实施例中,堆叠结构200中可以包括交替堆叠的N 1层蚀刻停止层210和N 2层介质层220,N 1和N 2的取值相同或差1。一个示例中,为避免堆叠结构200在堆叠方向上堆叠过多层而导致半导体器件过厚的现象发生,N 1、N 2示例性地可以设置为大于或等于1且小于或等于50的整数。当N 1和N 2的取值相同时,衬底110和堆叠结构200可以按照衬底110、蚀刻停止层210、介质层220、……、蚀刻停止层210、介质层220的方式堆叠,也可以按照衬底110、介质层220、蚀刻停止层210、……、介质层220、蚀刻停止层210的方式堆叠。当N 1的取值比N 2的取值大1时,衬底110和堆叠结构200可以按照衬底110、 蚀刻停止层210、介质层220、……、蚀刻停止层210、介质层220、蚀刻停止层210的方式堆叠。当N 1的取值比N 2的取值小1时,衬底110和堆叠结构200可以按照衬底110、介质层220、蚀刻停止层210、……、介质层220、蚀刻停止层210、介质层220的方式堆叠。一个示例中,N 1的取值可以比N 2的取值大1,即,堆叠结构200中的任一介质层220都可以被两层蚀刻停止层210夹在中间,如此,即使需要刻蚀较多的层,也能通过设置在介质层220两侧的蚀刻停止层210缓和刻蚀的速度,确保准确停止在所需的位置。 In the embodiment of the present application, the stack structure 200 may include N 1 layers of etch stop layers 210 and N 2 layers of dielectric layers 220 that are alternately stacked, and the values of N 1 and N 2 are the same or differ by 1. In one example, in order to avoid the phenomenon that the stack structure 200 is stacked with too many layers in the stacking direction and causes the semiconductor device to be too thick, N 1 and N 2 can be set to integers greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 50. When the values of N 1 and N 2 are the same, the substrate 110 and the stack structure 200 can be stacked in the manner of substrate 110, etch stop layer 210, dielectric layer 220, ..., etch stop layer 210, dielectric layer 220, or can be stacked in the manner of substrate 110, dielectric layer 220, etch stop layer 210, ..., dielectric layer 220, etch stop layer 210. When the value of N1 is greater than the value of N2 by 1, the substrate 110 and the stacked structure 200 can be stacked in the manner of substrate 110, etch stop layer 210, dielectric layer 220, ..., etch stop layer 210, dielectric layer 220, etch stop layer 210. When the value of N1 is less than the value of N2 by 1, the substrate 110 and the stacked structure 200 can be stacked in the manner of substrate 110, dielectric layer 220, etch stop layer 210, ..., dielectric layer 220, etch stop layer 210, dielectric layer 220. In one example, the value of N1 can be greater than the value of N2 by 1, that is, any dielectric layer 220 in the stacked structure 200 can be sandwiched by two layers of etch stop layers 210, so that even if more layers need to be etched, the etching speed can be mitigated by the etch stop layers 210 disposed on both sides of the dielectric layer 220, ensuring that the etching stops accurately at the desired position.
示例性地,继续参照图3所示,第一隔离层310设置在第一金属层320与第一接触孔300的内壁之间,具体可以是指第一隔离层310设置在第一金属层320与第一接触孔300的整个内壁之间。如此,第一接触孔300中填充的第一金属层320的整个周边区域都能被第一隔离层310所环绕,从而能有效避免第一金属层320的离子向第一接触孔300的内壁外扩散的现象,较好地提高接触孔结构的可靠性。应理解,其它示例中,也可以先在第一接触孔300的整个内壁上环绕设置第一隔离层310之后再增加一步清除部分第一隔离层310的操作,使得只在第一接触孔300的部分内壁上环绕第一隔离层310。其中,接触孔的部分内壁可根据实际情况进行设置,例如,一种具体的实现中,当其它接触孔或器件有源区与第一接触孔300所贯穿的层只存在部分重叠时,可以只在重叠的层所对应的内壁上环绕设置第一隔离层310,而在不重叠的层所对应的内壁上则无需环绕设置第一隔离层310,如此,既能避免第一接触孔300内填充的金属层透过重叠的层所对应的内壁向其它接触孔或器件有源区渗透,又能节省第一隔离层310的用材,有助于在降低成本的基础上提高接触孔结构的可靠性。Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 3 , the first isolation layer 310 is disposed between the first metal layer 320 and the inner wall of the first contact hole 300, which may specifically refer to the first isolation layer 310 being disposed between the first metal layer 320 and the entire inner wall of the first contact hole 300. In this way, the entire peripheral area of the first metal layer 320 filled in the first contact hole 300 can be surrounded by the first isolation layer 310, thereby effectively avoiding the phenomenon that the ions of the first metal layer 320 diffuse outward from the inner wall of the first contact hole 300, and better improving the reliability of the contact hole structure. It should be understood that in other examples, the first isolation layer 310 may be disposed around the entire inner wall of the first contact hole 300, and then a step of removing part of the first isolation layer 310 may be added, so that the first isolation layer 310 is only surrounded on part of the inner wall of the first contact hole 300. Among them, part of the inner wall of the contact hole can be set according to actual conditions. For example, in a specific implementation, when other contact holes or device active areas only partially overlap with the layer penetrated by the first contact hole 300, the first isolation layer 310 can be set around the inner wall corresponding to the overlapping layer, and there is no need to set the first isolation layer 310 around the inner wall corresponding to the non-overlapping layer. In this way, it can prevent the metal layer filled in the first contact hole 300 from penetrating through the inner wall corresponding to the overlapping layer to other contact holes or device active areas, and save the material of the first isolation layer 310, which helps to improve the reliability of the contact hole structure on the basis of reducing costs.
示例性地,继续参照图3所示,接触部100接触第一金属层320,具体可以是指接触部100既接触第一金属层320又接触第一隔离层310。如此,第一金属层320在图3所示的整个下表面都能接触接触部100,进而有助于扩大第一金属层320的通流面积,有效提高接触孔结构的导电性能。应理解,其它的示例中,接触部100接触第一金属层320也可以是指接触部100接触第一金属层320但不接触第一隔离层310,例如接触部100部分接触第一金属层320,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 3 , the contact portion 100 contacts the first metal layer 320, which may specifically mean that the contact portion 100 contacts both the first metal layer 320 and the first isolation layer 310. In this way, the entire lower surface of the first metal layer 320 shown in FIG. 3 can contact the contact portion 100, thereby helping to expand the flow area of the first metal layer 320 and effectively improve the conductive performance of the contact hole structure. It should be understood that in other examples, the contact portion 100 contacts the first metal layer 320 may also mean that the contact portion 100 contacts the first metal layer 320 but does not contact the first isolation layer 310, for example, the contact portion 100 partially contacts the first metal layer 320, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.
示例性地,继续参照图3所示,第一接触孔300可以是倾斜孔,即第一接触孔300的孔壁沿着堆叠结构200的堆叠方向(即图示垂直方向)倾斜。通常情况下,倾斜孔是比较容易制备的,原因在于在刻蚀形成孔的过程中,越往下刻蚀则刻蚀离子的数量越少,进而使得越接近孔底刻蚀而成的孔的孔径越小,也就越容易形成上宽下窄的倾斜孔。但在其它的实现方式中,如果工艺可保证,则第一接触孔300也可以是垂直孔而非倾斜孔,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。For example, referring to FIG. 3 , the first contact hole 300 may be an inclined hole, that is, the hole wall of the first contact hole 300 is inclined along the stacking direction of the stacked structure 200 (i.e., the vertical direction shown in the figure). Generally, inclined holes are easier to prepare because, in the process of etching to form holes, the further down the holes are etched, the fewer the number of etching ions is, and thus the smaller the hole diameter is, the easier it is to form an inclined hole that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. However, in other implementations, if the process can be guaranteed, the first contact hole 300 may also be a vertical hole rather than an inclined hole, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.
示例性地,第一隔离层310的厚度可以小于
Figure PCTCN2022122134-appb-000004
(埃)。如此,即使在第一接触孔300的内壁上沉积了一层第一隔离层310,由于第一隔离层310是非常薄的一层,因此沉积第一隔离层310的操作对于第一接触孔300的孔径影响不大,如此可降低对后续填充第一金属层320的工艺窗口的影响。
For example, the thickness of the first isolation layer 310 may be less than
Figure PCTCN2022122134-appb-000004
Thus, even if a first isolation layer 310 is deposited on the inner wall of the first contact hole 300, since the first isolation layer 310 is a very thin layer, the operation of depositing the first isolation layer 310 has little effect on the aperture of the first contact hole 300, thereby reducing the impact on the process window of the subsequent filling of the first metal layer 320.
本申请实施例中,衬底110的实现材料可以包括单晶硅、碳化硅(SiC)、砷化镓(GaAs)、氮化镓(GaN)、氮化铝(AlN)或氮化铟(InN)等材料中的一个或多个。In the embodiment of the present application, the material of the substrate 110 may include one or more of single crystal silicon, silicon carbide (SiC), gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum nitride (AlN) or indium nitride (InN).
在上述实施例一中,通过在第一接触孔的内壁和第一接触孔内填充的第一金属层之间设置一层较薄(例如厚度小于100埃)且包括致密材料制备而成的第一隔离层,不仅能利用第一隔离层隔离第一接触孔中填充的第一金属层和其它接触孔中填充的金属层或器件 有源区,实现减小第一接触孔与其它接触孔之间及第一接触孔与器件有源区之间的短路风险的目的,又能使环绕第一隔离层之后的第一接触孔的孔径和环绕之前的第一接触孔的孔径尽可能接近,降低对后续第一金属层的填充工艺影响和对半导体器件的成本影响。此外,该方案不需要将第一接触孔的孔径做得非常小,因此还能提高第一接触孔的刻蚀工艺和后续的填充工艺的工艺窗口,有助于降低半导体器件的制备难度。In the above-mentioned first embodiment, by providing a first isolation layer made of a relatively thin material (for example, less than 100 angstroms thick) between the inner wall of the first contact hole and the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole, the first isolation layer can be used to isolate the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole from the metal layers or device active regions filled in other contact holes, thereby reducing the risk of short circuits between the first contact hole and other contact holes and between the first contact hole and the device active region, and the aperture of the first contact hole after the first isolation layer is surrounded can be as close as possible to the aperture of the first contact hole before the first isolation layer is surrounded, thereby reducing the impact on the subsequent filling process of the first metal layer and the cost impact on the semiconductor device. In addition, the scheme does not need to make the aperture of the first contact hole very small, so it can also improve the process window of the etching process of the first contact hole and the subsequent filling process, which helps to reduce the difficulty of manufacturing semiconductor devices.
本申请实施例中,接触部具体可以是器件有源区,如源极、漏极或栅极。该情况下,第一接触孔中填充的第一金属层的一端接触器件有源区,第一金属层的另一端可以连接芯片中的其它器件,如此,半导体器件可通过第一接触孔结构直接实现器件有源区与芯片中的其它器件的连接。In the embodiment of the present application, the contact portion may specifically be a device active region, such as a source, a drain or a gate. In this case, one end of the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole contacts the device active region, and the other end of the first metal layer may be connected to other devices in the chip, so that the semiconductor device may directly connect the device active region to other devices in the chip through the first contact hole structure.
下面基于图1所示意的CMOS器件,通过实施例二进一步介绍实施例一中的接触孔设计方案在接触部为CMOS器件中的器件有源区时的应用。且,为了便于表述,下文将直接接触源极的接触孔称为源极接触孔,将直接接触漏极的接触孔称为漏极接触孔,将直接接触栅极的接触孔称为栅极接触孔。Based on the CMOS device shown in FIG1 , the following further introduces the application of the contact hole design scheme in the first embodiment when the contact portion is the device active region in the CMOS device through the second embodiment. Moreover, for the convenience of description, the contact hole directly contacting the source is referred to as the source contact hole, the contact hole directly contacting the drain is referred to as the drain contact hole, and the contact hole directly contacting the gate is referred to as the gate contact hole.

In this embodiment, by providing an isolation layer between the inner wall of the source contact hole and the first metal layer 320 filled in the source contact hole, the first metal layer 320 filled in the source contact hole can be isolated from the metal layers filled in other contact holes (such as the gate contact hole and the drain contact hole) and other device active areas (such as the gate 103 and the drain 102), thereby effectively avoiding the short circuit between the source 101 and the gate 103 or the drain 102.
另一个示例中,参照图5中(B)所示,接触部100具体可以是指漏极102,该情况下,至少一层蚀刻停止层210可以包括第一蚀刻停止层211和第二蚀刻停止层212,至少一层介质层220可以包括第一介质层221。具体来说,参照图5中(B)所示,该示例中,CMOS器件可以包括:依次堆叠的衬底110、第一蚀刻停止层211、第一介质层221和第二蚀刻停止层212;设置在衬底110上的漏极102,设置方式可以为上述图4中(A)至图4中(D)所示的任意一种,如图5中(A)所示意的设置方式即对应为上述图4中(B)所示意的设置方式;贯穿第二蚀刻停止层212、第一介质层221和第一蚀刻停止层211并导通至漏极102的漏极接触孔;设置在漏极接触孔内的第一隔离层310和第一金属层320,第一隔离层310设置在漏极接触孔的内壁和第一金属层320之间,第一金属层320通过漏极接触孔接触漏极102。在该实施方式中,通过在漏极接触孔的内壁和源极接触孔中填充的第一金属层320之间设置一层隔离层,能将漏极接触孔中填充的第一金属层320与其它接触孔(如 栅极接触孔和源极接触孔)中填充的金属层及其它器件有源区(如栅极103和源极101)隔离开来,进而能有效避免漏极102与栅极103或源极101之间发生短路的现象。In another example, as shown in (B) of Figure 5, the contact portion 100 may specifically refer to the drain 102. In this case, at least one etching stop layer 210 may include a first etching stop layer 211 and a second etching stop layer 212, and at least one dielectric layer 220 may include a first dielectric layer 221. Specifically, referring to (B) in FIG. 5 , in this example, the CMOS device may include: a substrate 110, a first etch stop layer 211, a first dielectric layer 221, and a second etch stop layer 212 stacked in sequence; a drain 102 disposed on the substrate 110, and the configuration may be any one of those shown in (A) to (D) in FIG. 4 , and the configuration illustrated in (A) in FIG. 5 corresponds to the configuration illustrated in (B) in FIG. 4 ; a drain contact hole penetrating the second etch stop layer 212, the first dielectric layer 221, and the first etch stop layer 211 and connected to the drain 102; a first isolation layer 310 and a first metal layer 320 disposed in the drain contact hole, the first isolation layer 310 being disposed between the inner wall of the drain contact hole and the first metal layer 320, and the first metal layer 320 contacting the drain 102 through the drain contact hole. In this embodiment, by providing an isolation layer between the inner wall of the drain contact hole and the first metal layer 320 filled in the source contact hole, the first metal layer 320 filled in the drain contact hole can be isolated from the metal layers filled in other contact holes (such as the gate contact hole and the source contact hole) and other device active areas (such as the gate 103 and the source 101), thereby effectively avoiding the short circuit between the drain 102 and the gate 103 or the source 101.

In this embodiment, by setting a first isolation layer 310 between the inner wall of the gate contact hole and the first metal layer 320 filled in the gate contact hole, the first metal layer 320 filled in the gate contact hole can be isolated from the metal layers filled in other contact holes (such as the source contact hole and the drain contact hole) and other device active areas (such as the source 101 and the drain 102), thereby effectively avoiding the short circuit between the gate 103 and the source 101 or the drain 102.
在上述示例中,源极101和/或漏极102的实现材料可以包括半导体材料,半导体材料例如可以是指在硅中掺杂了其它元素的材料,如硅锗(SiGe)或硅磷(SiP)。栅极103的实现材料可以包括金属材料或半导体材料,例如钽、钨或氮氧化硅(SiON)。侧墙104的实现材料可以包括氮化物,如氮化硅(SiN)、氮碳化硅(SiCN)或氮氧化硅(SiON)等。In the above examples, the material for realizing the source 101 and/or the drain 102 may include a semiconductor material, and the semiconductor material may refer to a material in which other elements are doped in silicon, such as silicon germanium (SiGe) or silicon phosphorus (SiP).

在上述组合设计中,通过在源极接触孔的内壁上、漏极接触孔的内壁上和栅极接触孔的内壁上都设置第一隔离层310,能将源极接触孔、漏极接触孔和栅极接触孔中的任一接触孔内填充的第一金属层320与其它两个器件有源区及其它两个器件有源区所连接的接触孔中填充的金属层隔离开来,有效降低源极101、漏极102和栅极103中的任意两个器件有源区之间发生短路的风险。且,在上述CMOS器件中,衬底110、第一蚀刻停止层211、第一介质层221和第二蚀刻停止层212可构成CMOS器件的第1层结构,衬底110、第一蚀刻停止层211、第一介质层221、第二蚀刻停止层212、第二介质层222和第三蚀刻停止层213可构成CMOS器件的第1.5层结构,图6中(A)所示意的CMOS器件通过源极接触孔结构和漏极接触孔结构将源极101和漏极102连接至第1层结构的顶层平面H1上,图6中(B)所示意的CMOS器件通过源极接触孔结构和漏极接触孔结构将源极101和漏 极102连接至第1层结构的顶层平面H1上,通过栅极接触孔结构将栅极103连接至第1.5层结构的顶层平面H2上,图6中(C)所示意的CMOS器件通过漏极接触孔结构将漏极102连接至第1层结构的顶层平面H1上,通过栅极接触孔结构和源极接触孔结构将栅极103和源极101连接至第1.5层结构的顶层平面H2上,而平面H1和平面H2位于CMOS器件中的不同层。如此,通过将栅极103、源极101和漏极102错开连接至CMOS器件的不同层,不仅能避免在同一层上设置过于密集的走线,降低后道工艺的制备难度,还能尽可能地隔开后道工艺中位于不同层上的两个电极所需连接的走线,进一步降低栅极103、源极101和漏极102之间发生短路的风险。In the above-mentioned combined design, by setting the first isolation layer 310 on the inner wall of the source contact hole, the inner wall of the drain contact hole and the inner wall of the gate contact hole, the first metal layer 320 filled in any contact hole of the source contact hole, the drain contact hole and the gate contact hole can be isolated from the other two device active areas and the metal layer filled in the contact holes connected to the other two device active areas, thereby effectively reducing the risk of short circuit between any two device active areas among the source 101, the drain 102 and the gate 103. Moreover, in the above-mentioned CMOS device, the substrate 110, the first etch stop layer 211, the first dielectric layer 221, the second etch stop layer 212 can constitute the first layer structure of the CMOS device, the substrate 110, the first etch stop layer 211, the first dielectric layer 221, the second etch stop layer 212, the second dielectric layer 222 and the third etch stop layer 213 can constitute the 1.5 layer structure of the CMOS device, the CMOS device illustrated in (A) of FIG6 connects the source 101 and the drain 102 to the top plane H1 of the first layer structure through the source contact hole structure and the drain contact hole structure, and the CMOS device illustrated in (B) of FIG6 connects the source 101 and the drain 102 to the top plane H1 of the first layer structure through the source contact hole structure and the drain contact hole structure. The gate 102 is connected to the top plane H1 of the 1st layer structure, and the gate 103 is connected to the top plane H2 of the 1.5th layer structure through the gate contact hole structure. The CMOS device shown in (C) in FIG6 connects the drain 102 to the top plane H1 of the 1st layer structure through the drain contact hole structure, and connects the gate 103 and the source 101 to the top plane H2 of the 1.5th layer structure through the gate contact hole structure and the source contact hole structure, and the plane H1 and the plane H2 are located at different layers in the CMOS device. In this way, by staggering the connection of the gate 103, the source 101 and the drain 102 to different layers of the CMOS device, not only can it be avoided to set too dense routing on the same layer, reducing the difficulty of preparation of the back-end process, but also the routing required to connect the two electrodes located on different layers in the back-end process can be separated as much as possible, further reducing the risk of short circuit between the gate 103, the source 101 and the drain 102.
需要说明的是,在上述CMOS器件中,位于CMOS器件最顶层的走线可以在垂直于图示的堆叠方向上进行设置,而位于CMOS器件内层的走线则可以在垂直于图示纸面的方向进行设置。例如,假设CMOS器件呈现为图6中(B)所示意的结构,则可以在平面H2上沿着垂直于图示的堆叠方向引线连接栅极接触孔中填充的第一金属层320和栅极103所需连接的芯片中的其它器件,以及可以在平面H1上沿着垂直于图示纸面的方向引线连接源极接触孔中填充的第一金属层320和源极101所需连接的芯片中的其它器件、以及连接漏极接触孔中填充的第一金属层320和漏极102所需连接的芯片中的其它器件。It should be noted that, in the above-mentioned CMOS device, the wiring located at the topmost layer of the CMOS device can be arranged in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction shown in the figure, while the wiring located in the inner layer of the CMOS device can be arranged in a direction perpendicular to the drawing surface. For example, assuming that the CMOS device presents a structure as shown in (B) in FIG. 6 , the first metal layer 320 filled in the gate contact hole and the other devices in the chip to be connected to the gate 103 can be connected by wires along the stacking direction perpendicular to the figure on plane H2, and the first metal layer 320 filled in the source contact hole and the other devices in the chip to be connected to the source 101 can be connected by wires along the direction perpendicular to the drawing surface on plane H1, and the first metal layer 320 filled in the drain contact hole and the other devices in the chip to be connected to the drain 102 can be connected by wires along the direction perpendicular to the drawing surface.

In order to simplify the manufacturing process of the CMOS device, in another optional implementation, a first isolation layer 310 may be provided only on the inner wall of some contact holes, while other contact holes may be directly filled with the first metal layer 320. For example, the first isolation layer 310 may be provided on the inner wall of the source contact hole and the drain contact hole and the first metal layer 320 may be filled in the first isolation layer 310, while the gate contact hole may be directly filled with the first metal layer 320, or the first isolation layer 310 may be provided on the inner wall of the gate contact hole and the first metal layer 320 may be filled in the first isolation layer 310, while the source contact hole and the drain contact hole may be directly filled with the first metal layer 320, or the first isolation layer 310 may be provided on the inner wall of the source contact hole and the gate contact hole and the first metal layer 320 may be filled in the first isolation layer 310, while the drain contact hole may be directly filled with the first metal layer 320, etc. There are many possible configuration methods, and the embodiments of the present application will not list them one by one.
此外,在上述图6中(A)至图6中(C)所示意的组合方案中,虽然每个接触孔的内壁上设置的隔离层都称为第一隔离层310,隔离层内填充的金属层都称为第一金属层320,但这只是为了便于介绍方案。在实际操作中,不同接触孔的内壁上设置的第一隔离层310可以是相同材料制成,也可以是不同材料制成,不同接触孔内填充的第一金属层320可以是相同材料制成,也可以是不同材料制成,且,不同接触孔的内壁上环绕的隔离层或填充的第一金属层320也可以具有不同的名称,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。In addition, in the combination schemes shown in FIG. 6 (A) to FIG. 6 (C), although the isolation layer provided on the inner wall of each contact hole is called the first isolation layer 310, and the metal layer filled in the isolation layer is called the first metal layer 320, this is only for the convenience of introducing the scheme. In actual operation, the first isolation layer 310 provided on the inner walls of different contact holes can be made of the same material or different materials, the first metal layer 320 filled in different contact holes can be made of the same material or different materials, and the isolation layer surrounding the inner walls of different contact holes or the first metal layer 320 filled can also have different names, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.
在上述实施例二中,通过在源极接触孔的内壁上、漏极接触孔的内壁上或栅极接触孔的内壁上设置第一隔离层,能通过第一隔离层的隔离作用将该接触孔中填充的第一金属层和另外两个器件有源区或器件有源区连接的接触孔中填充的金属层隔离开来,从而能有效降低该接触孔所连接的器件有源区与其它器件有源区之间发生短路的风险。且,通过源极接触孔结构、漏极接触孔结构和栅极接触孔结构的组合设计,还能将源极、漏极和栅极中的至少两个连接至半导体器件的不同层,进而能在不同层上设置源极、漏极和栅极连接芯片中的其它器件的走线,通过分散半导体器件的同层走线压力,降低后道工艺的制备难度。In the above-mentioned second embodiment, by setting a first isolation layer on the inner wall of the source contact hole, the inner wall of the drain contact hole or the inner wall of the gate contact hole, the first metal layer filled in the contact hole can be isolated from the other two device active areas or the metal layer filled in the contact hole connected to the device active area through the isolation effect of the first isolation layer, thereby effectively reducing the risk of short circuit between the device active area connected to the contact hole and other device active areas. Moreover, through the combined design of the source contact hole structure, the drain contact hole structure and the gate contact hole structure, at least two of the source, drain and gate can be connected to different layers of the semiconductor device, and then the source, drain and gate can be set on different layers to connect the routing of other devices in the chip, and the difficulty of the preparation of the back-end process can be reduced by dispersing the same-layer routing pressure of the semiconductor device.

Among them, the second contact hole may be a contact hole adjacent to the first contact hole in the stacking direction of the stacking structure, and may be, for example, a gate contact hole connected to the gate, a source contact hole connected to the source, a drain contact hole connected to the drain, or a contact hole connected to the third metal layer filled in the third contact hole. Moreover, the second contact hole may be completely filled with the second metal layer, or a second isolation layer may be first arranged around the inner wall of the second contact hole and then the second metal layer may be filled inside the second isolation layer as shown in the above embodiment 1 or embodiment 2, and the material for implementing the second isolation layer includes a dense material. Moreover, one end of the second metal layer filled in the second contact hole contacts one end of the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole, the other end of the second metal layer filled in the second contact hole is connected to the device active area, and the other end of the first metal layer filled in the first contact hole is connected to other devices in the chip. In this way, the semiconductor device can realize the connection between the device active area and other devices in the chip through at least two contact hole structures, the first contact hole structure and the second contact hole structure.

In this case, the CMOS device includes: a substrate 110, a first etch stop layer 211, a first dielectric layer 221, a second etch stop layer 212, a second dielectric layer 222, a third etch stop layer 213, a first third dielectric layer 223, a first fourth etch stop layer 214, a second third dielectric layer 224, and a second fourth etch stop layer 215 stacked in sequence; a gate hole penetrating the first dielectric layer 221 and the first etch stop layer 211, the bottom of the gate hole being buried in the substrate 110, and the gate hole being provided with a gate 103 and a side wall and a bottom surrounding the gate 103. The invention relates to a gate wall 104; a gate contact hole penetrating the third etch stop layer 213, the second dielectric layer 222 and the second etch stop layer 212 and connected to the gate 103, wherein the second metal layer 420 is filled in the gate contact hole; a secondary gate contact hole penetrating the second fourth etch stop layer 215, the second third dielectric layer 224, the first fourth etch stop layer 214 and the first third dielectric layer 223 and connected to the second metal layer 420 filled in the gate contact hole; a first isolation layer 310 and a first metal layer 320 are arranged in the secondary gate contact hole, wherein the first isolation layer 310 is arranged between the inner wall of the secondary gate contact hole and the first metal layer 320, and the first metal layer 320 contacts the second metal layer 420 filled in the gate contact hole through the secondary gate contact hole. In this example, the substrate 110, the first etch stop layer 211, the first dielectric layer 221, the second etch stop layer 212, the second dielectric layer 222, the third etch stop layer 213, the first third dielectric layer 223, the first fourth etch stop layer 214, the second third dielectric layer 224 and the second fourth etch stop layer 215 constitute the 2.5 layer structure of the CMOS device. By setting a secondary gate contact hole structure that penetrates two dielectric layers and two etch stop layers above the illustrated gate contact hole structure, the gate 103 can be connected from the top plane H2 of the 1.5 layer structure originally connected to the top plane H4 of the 2.5 layer structure, and the plane H4 is higher than the plane H3. In this way, when the density of the CMOS device is further increased, it is possible to avoid setting too dense routing on the plane H2 and the plane H3, thereby reducing the difficulty of preparation of the subsequent process. At the same time, a first isolation layer 310 is formed on the inner wall of the secondary gate contact hole, which can isolate the first metal layer 320 filled in the secondary gate contact hole from the surrounding metal layer or device active area while connecting the gate 103 to a higher plane H4, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit between the gate 103 and the surrounding device active area.
再一个示例中,当P为大于或等于3的正整数时,堆叠结构包括交替堆叠的至少三层第三介质层和至少三层第四蚀刻停止层,该情况下,CMOS器件中还可以在栅极接触孔结构的图示上方设置了贯穿至少三层第三介质层和至少三层第四蚀刻停止层的次栅极接触孔结构,且次栅极接触孔的内壁内均环绕设置第一隔离层310,第一隔离层310内填充第一金属层320。如此,该设计除了可以降低栅极103与其它器件有源区之间发生短路的风险之外,还能通过次栅极接触孔结构将栅极103连接至高于图9中(B)所示意的H4平面的更高平面,以在CMOS器件的密度进一步增大的情况下,进一步均衡地分散每个平面上的走线。应理解,该情况的具体实现方式可参照上述内容,本申请实施例对此不再一一重 复赘述。In another example, when P is a positive integer greater than or equal to 3, the stacked structure includes at least three layers of the third dielectric layer and at least three layers of the fourth etching stop layer that are alternately stacked. In this case, a sub-gate contact hole structure that penetrates at least three layers of the third dielectric layer and at least three layers of the fourth etching stop layer can also be provided above the illustrated gate contact hole structure in the CMOS device, and the inner wall of the sub-gate contact hole is surrounded by a first isolation layer 310, and the first isolation layer 310 is filled with a first metal layer 320. In this way, in addition to reducing the risk of short circuit between the gate 103 and other device active areas, the design can also connect the gate 103 to a higher plane higher than the H4 plane shown in FIG. 9 (B) through the sub-gate contact hole structure, so as to further evenly disperse the routing on each plane when the density of the CMOS device is further increased. It should be understood that the specific implementation of this situation can refer to the above content, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated one by one.
需要说明的是,当第二接触孔为栅极接触孔时,栅极接触孔可以如图9中(A)或图9中(B)所示意的包括环绕设置在内壁上的第二隔离层410和填充在第二隔离层410内的第二金属层420,也可以包括填充在栅极接触孔内的第二金属层420但不包括第二隔离层410,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。It should be noted that when the second contact hole is a gate contact hole, the gate contact hole may include a second isolation layer 410 arranged on the inner wall and a second metal layer 420 filled in the second isolation layer 410 as shown in FIG. 9 (A) or FIG. 9 (B), or may include a second metal layer 420 filled in the gate contact hole but not include the second isolation layer 410. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

In this way, by connecting the source 101, the gate 103 and the drain 102 to three different planes, the routing on each plane can be balanced;

应理解,可能的变形方式还有很多,本申请实施例对此不再一一列举。It should be understood that there are many possible variations, which are not listed one by one in the embodiments of the present application.
需要说明的是,在上述图10中(A)至图10中(C)所示意的组合方案中,每个接触孔的内壁上都环绕设置了隔离层,这只是一种可选地实施方式。为简化CMOS器件的制造工艺,另一种可选地实施方式,也可以只在部分接触孔的内壁上环绕设置隔离层,而其它接触孔内则直接填满金属层,例如,可以在源极接触孔、漏极接触孔和栅极接触孔中的一个或多个接触孔的内壁上环绕设置隔离层并在隔离层内填充金属层,而次源极接触孔、次漏极接触孔和次栅极接触孔内直接填满金属层,或者可以在次源极接触孔、次漏极接触孔和次栅极接触孔中的一个或多个接触孔的内壁上环绕设置隔离层并在隔离层内填充金属层,而源极接触孔、漏极接触孔和栅极接触孔内直接填满金属层,或者可以在源极接触孔 和次源极接触孔、漏极接触孔和次漏极接触孔、或者栅极接触孔和次栅极接触孔中的一个或多个组合的接触孔的内壁上环绕设置隔离层并在隔离层内填充金属层,而其它组合的接触孔内直接填满金属层,等等。可能的设置方式有很多,本申请实施例对此不再一一列举。It should be noted that, in the combination schemes illustrated in FIG. 10 (A) to FIG. 10 (C) above, an isolation layer is disposed around the inner wall of each contact hole, which is only an optional implementation method. In order to simplify the manufacturing process of the CMOS device, in another optional implementation, an isolation layer may be arranged around the inner wall of only some of the contact holes, while other contact holes may be directly filled with metal layers. For example, an isolation layer may be arranged around the inner wall of one or more of the source contact hole, the drain contact hole and the gate contact hole, and the metal layer may be filled in the isolation layer, while the sub-source contact hole, the sub-drain contact hole and the sub-gate contact hole may be directly filled with metal layers, or an isolation layer may be arranged around the inner wall of one or more of the sub-source contact hole, the sub-drain contact hole and the sub-gate contact hole, and the metal layer may be filled in the isolation layer, while the source contact hole, the drain contact hole and the gate contact hole may be directly filled with metal layers, or an isolation layer may be arranged around the inner wall of one or more of the contact holes of the source contact hole and the sub-source contact hole, the drain contact hole and the sub-drain contact hole, or the gate contact hole and the sub-gate contact hole, and the metal layer may be filled in the isolation layer, while other contact holes of the combination may be directly filled with metal layers, etc. There are many possible configuration methods, which are not listed one by one in the embodiments of the present application.
此外,在上述图10中(A)至图10中(C)所示意的组合方案中,虽然每个接触孔的内壁上环绕设置的隔离层都称为第一隔离层或第二隔离层,第一隔离层或第二内填充的金属层都称为第一金属层或第二金属层,但这只是为了便于介绍方案。在实际操作中,不同接触孔的内壁上环绕设置的隔离层可以是相同材料制成,也可以是不同材料制成,不同接触孔内填充的金属层可以是相同材料制成,也可以是不同材料制成,且,不同接触孔的内壁上环绕的隔离层或填充的金属层也可以具有不同的名称,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。In addition, in the combination schemes shown in FIG. 10 (A) to FIG. 10 (C), although the isolation layer disposed around the inner wall of each contact hole is referred to as the first isolation layer or the second isolation layer, and the metal layer filled in the first isolation layer or the second is referred to as the first metal layer or the second metal layer, this is only for the convenience of introducing the scheme. In actual operation, the isolation layers disposed around the inner walls of different contact holes may be made of the same material or different materials, the metal layers filled in different contact holes may be made of the same material or different materials, and the isolation layers or metal layers filled in the inner walls of different contact holes may also have different names, and the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit this.
在上述实施例三中,通过在接触孔结构上再设置接触孔结构,能通过再设置的接触孔结构将下层的接触孔结构中填充的金属层连接至更高的层,进而能在下层的接触孔结构对应的层上走线数量较多时,将下层的接触孔结构对应的层上的部分走线分散到其它层,以便均衡部署半导体器件的每个层中的走线数量,降低每个层的走线压力。且,通过在再设置的接触孔结构中形成一层环绕金属层的隔离层,还能在将下层的接触孔结构中的金属层连接至更高层的同时,确保再设置的接触孔中填充的金属层尽量不与周边金属层或器件有源区发生短路,有效保证CMOS器件的制备良率和可靠性。In the above-mentioned third embodiment, by setting up another contact hole structure on the contact hole structure, the metal layer filled in the lower contact hole structure can be connected to a higher layer through the set contact hole structure, and then when the number of routing lines on the layer corresponding to the lower contact hole structure is large, part of the routing lines on the layer corresponding to the lower contact hole structure can be dispersed to other layers, so as to evenly deploy the number of routing lines in each layer of the semiconductor device and reduce the routing pressure of each layer. Moreover, by forming an isolation layer surrounding the metal layer in the set contact hole structure, it is also possible to connect the metal layer in the lower contact hole structure to a higher layer while ensuring that the metal layer filled in the set contact hole does not short-circuit with the surrounding metal layer or the device active area as much as possible, thereby effectively ensuring the preparation yield and reliability of the CMOS device.
此外,上述实施例一中的各个实施方式也同样适用于上述实施例二和实施例三,本申请对此不再一一重复赘述。In addition, each implementation method in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 is also applicable to the above-mentioned embodiment 2 and embodiment 3, and this application will not repeat them one by one.
基于实施例一至实施例三所示意的半导体器件,本申请还提供一种半导体器件的制备方法。图11示例性示出本申请实施例提供的一种半导体器件的制备流程示意图,如图11所示,该制备流程包括:Based on the semiconductor devices shown in the first to third embodiments, the present application also provides a method for preparing a semiconductor device. FIG11 exemplarily shows a schematic diagram of a preparation process of a semiconductor device provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG11 , the preparation process includes:
步骤一,在衬底110上形成接触部100,获得如图11中(A)所示意的结构。其中,接触部100在衬底110上可以呈现为图11中(A)所示意的形式,可以呈现为其它形式,例如图4中(A)、图4中(C)或图4中(D)所示意的形式,具体不作限定。Step 1: forming a contact portion 100 on a substrate 110 to obtain a structure as shown in FIG. 11 (A). The contact portion 100 on the substrate 110 may be in the form shown in FIG. 11 (A), or in other forms, such as the form shown in FIG. 4 (A), FIG. 4 (C), or FIG. 4 (D), without limitation.
步骤二,在衬底110上接触部100的一侧交替堆叠至少一层蚀刻停止层210和至少一层介质层220,获得如图11中(B)所示意的堆叠结构200。Step 2: alternately stack at least one etching stop layer 210 and at least one dielectric layer 220 on one side of the contact portion 100 on the substrate 110 to obtain a stacking structure 200 as shown in FIG. 11 (B).
步骤三,刻蚀形成贯穿堆叠结构200并导通至接触部100的第一接触孔300,获得如图11中(C4)所示意的结构。Step three: etching to form a first contact hole 300 penetrating the stacked structure 200 and connected to the contact portion 100, to obtain a structure as shown in (C4) in FIG. 11 .
步骤四,在堆叠结构200的顶部、第一接触孔300的孔底和第一接触孔300的内壁上沉积第一隔离层310,第一隔离层310的实现材料包括致密材料,获得如图11中(D)所示意的结构。Step four, depositing a first isolation layer 310 on the top of the stacked structure 200, the bottom of the first contact hole 300 and the inner wall of the first contact hole 300, wherein the material for realizing the first isolation layer 310 includes a dense material, and obtaining a structure as shown in FIG. 11 (D).
示例性地,可以采用ALD技术沉积形成第一隔离层310,以便使第一隔离层310紧密地贴合在第一接触孔300的内壁上,降低对后续金属层填充的影响,同时使沉积之后的第一接触孔300的孔径和沉积之前的第一接触孔300的孔径尽可能接近,增大后续在第一接触孔300中填充金属层的工艺窗口。Exemplarily, the ALD technology can be used to deposit and form the first isolation layer 310 so that the first isolation layer 310 fits tightly against the inner wall of the first contact hole 300, reducing the impact on the subsequent filling of the metal layer. At the same time, the aperture of the first contact hole 300 after deposition is as close as possible to the aperture of the first contact hole 300 before deposition, thereby increasing the process window for subsequently filling the metal layer in the first contact hole 300.
步骤五,刻蚀位于堆叠结构200顶部的第一隔离层310和位于第一接触孔300的孔底的第一隔离层310,仅保留第一接触孔300的内壁上的第一隔离层310,获得如图11中(E)所示意的结构。Step five, etching the first isolation layer 310 at the top of the stacked structure 200 and the first isolation layer 310 at the bottom of the first contact hole 300, leaving only the first isolation layer 310 on the inner wall of the first contact hole 300, to obtain the structure shown in FIG. 11 (E).
步骤六,在第一隔离层310内填充第一金属层320,获得如图11中(F)所示意的结构。其中,填充的方式具体可以是电化学镀层(electro-chemical plating,ECP),也称为电镀。Step 6: Fill the first metal layer 320 in the first isolation layer 310 to obtain a structure as shown in (F) of FIG. 11 . The filling method may be electrochemical plating (ECP), also known as electroplating.
步骤七,通过化学机械抛光(chemical mechanical polishing,CMP)技术去除CMOS器件表面的第一金属层320,并将表面打磨至平坦且无划痕,获得如图11中的(G)所示意的结构。Step seven, remove the first metal layer 320 on the surface of the CMOS device through chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology, and polish the surface until it is flat and scratch-free, to obtain the structure shown in (G) in Figure 11.
一种可选地实施方式中,在按照上述步骤二获得如图11中(B)所示意的结构后,还可以按照如下步骤八至步骤十一进行刻蚀,以获得如图11中(C4)所示意的结构:In an optional implementation manner, after obtaining the structure shown in FIG. 11 (B) according to the above step 2, etching may be performed according to the following steps 8 to 11 to obtain the structure shown in FIG. 11 (C4):
步骤八,在堆叠结构200相背于接触部100的一侧堆叠有机材料层400,获得如图11中(C1)所示意的结构。其中,有机材料层400可以包括旋涂层410(spin-on coating,SOC)、底部抗反射层420(bottom anti-reflective coating,Barc)和光阻层430(photo-resist coating,PRC)中的一层或多层,且有机材料层400的层数与所需刻蚀的接触孔的孔径可以呈正相关。例如,一个示例中,有机材料层400具体可以包括旋涂层410、底部抗反射层420和光阻层430,旋涂层410、底部抗反射层420和光阻层430依次堆叠在堆叠结构200相背于接触部100的一侧。其中,光阻层430的厚度和底部抗反射层420的厚度相差不大,且旋涂层410的厚度远大于光阻层430的厚度或底部抗反射层420的厚度,例如至少可以为光阻层430的厚度或底部抗反射层420的厚度的4倍。Step eight, stacking an organic material layer 400 on the side of the stacked structure 200 opposite to the contact portion 100, to obtain a structure as shown in (C1) in FIG. 11. The organic material layer 400 may include one or more layers of a spin-on coating 410 (spin-on coating, SOC), a bottom anti-reflective coating 420 (bottom anti-reflective coating, Barc) and a photoresist coating 430 (photo-resist coating, PRC), and the number of layers of the organic material layer 400 may be positively correlated with the aperture of the contact hole to be etched. For example, in one example, the organic material layer 400 may specifically include a spin-on coating 410, a bottom anti-reflective coating 420 and a photoresist layer 430, and the spin-on coating 410, the bottom anti-reflective coating 420 and the photoresist layer 430 are sequentially stacked on the side of the stacked structure 200 opposite to the contact portion 100. Among them, the thickness of the photoresist layer 430 is not much different from the thickness of the bottom anti-reflection layer 420, and the thickness of the spin-coated layer 410 is much greater than the thickness of the photoresist layer 430 or the thickness of the bottom anti-reflection layer 420, for example, it can be at least 4 times the thickness of the photoresist layer 430 or the thickness of the bottom anti-reflection layer 420.
步骤九,在有机材料层400上光刻出第一接触孔300对应的图案,具体地,可以是在光阻层430上接触孔对应的位置形成凹陷的图案,且该凹陷的图案贯穿光阻层430,以获得如图11中(C2)所示意的结构。一些示例中,该凹陷的图案的底部还可以贯穿光阻层430后停止在底部抗反射层420的内部。Step nine, photolithography a pattern corresponding to the first contact hole 300 on the organic material layer 400. Specifically, a concave pattern may be formed at a position corresponding to the contact hole on the photoresist layer 430, and the concave pattern penetrates the photoresist layer 430 to obtain a structure as shown in (C2) in FIG. 11. In some examples, the bottom of the concave pattern may also penetrate the photoresist layer 430 and stop inside the bottom anti-reflection layer 420.
步骤十,刻蚀有机材料层400和堆叠结构200,由于光阻层430上已经存在凹陷的图案,因此刻蚀离子沿着该凹陷的图案进一步刻蚀,使得凹陷的图案处的刻蚀进度比其它位置的刻蚀进度要快,如此可形成贯穿有机材料层400和堆叠结构200且导通至接触部100的第一接触孔300。且,通常情况下,在刻蚀完成后,光阻层430和底部抗反射层420也同样会被刻蚀完,使得有机材料层400仅保留部分旋涂层410,因此,刻蚀完成后的半导体器件通常呈现为如图11中(C3)所示意的结构。此外,刻蚀形成的第一接触孔300可以是如图11中(C3)所示意的倾斜孔,也可以是垂直孔,具体不作限定。Step ten, etching the organic material layer 400 and the stacked structure 200. Since there is already a recessed pattern on the photoresist layer 430, the etching ions further etch along the recessed pattern, so that the etching progress at the recessed pattern is faster than the etching progress at other positions, so that a first contact hole 300 penetrating the organic material layer 400 and the stacked structure 200 and connected to the contact portion 100 can be formed. In addition, under normal circumstances, after the etching is completed, the photoresist layer 430 and the bottom anti-reflection layer 420 will also be completely etched, so that only a part of the spin-coated layer 410 is retained in the organic material layer 400. Therefore, the semiconductor device after the etching is completed usually presents a structure as shown in (C3) in Figure 11. In addition, the first contact hole 300 formed by etching can be an inclined hole as shown in (C3) in Figure 11, or a vertical hole, which is not specifically limited.
步骤十一,清除有机材料层400,具体的,可以是清除有机材料层400中仅剩的旋涂层410,以获得如图11中(C4)所示意的结构。其中,清除的方式可以是火烧,也可以是其它能够去除有机材料的方式。Step 11, removing the organic material layer 400, specifically, removing the remaining spin-coated layer 410 in the organic material layer 400 to obtain a structure as shown in (C4) in Figure 11. The removal method may be burning or other methods capable of removing organic materials.
需要说明的是,上述步骤九可以是将堆叠了有机材料层400的半导体器件放入光刻机中进行光刻而实现的,而上述步骤十和步骤十一可以是将光刻机中光刻完成的半导体器件放入蚀刻机台进行蚀刻而实现的。且,上述步骤十一中清除有机材料层400的操作可以是在上述步骤十中刻蚀形成接触孔的操作中同步完成,也可以是在上述步骤十中刻蚀完接触孔成后单独执行,具体不作限定。It should be noted that the above step nine can be implemented by placing the semiconductor device stacked with the organic material layer 400 into a photolithography machine for photolithography, and the above steps ten and eleven can be implemented by placing the semiconductor device after photolithography in the photolithography machine into an etching machine for etching. Moreover, the operation of removing the organic material layer 400 in the above step eleven can be completed simultaneously with the operation of etching to form the contact hole in the above step ten, or can be performed separately after the contact hole is etched in the above step ten, and there is no specific limitation.
在上述制备流程中,通过在第一接触孔300中填充第一金属层320之前,先在第一接触孔300的内壁上沉积一层第一隔离层310,能经由第一隔离层310隔离第一接触孔300中填充的第一金属层320和周边金属层或器件有源区,降低第一接触孔300所连接的器件有源区与其它器件有源区的短路风险。可见,该制备流程只需要在刻蚀完第一接触孔300之后增加一步沉积第一隔离层310和刻蚀堆叠结构200顶部和第一接触孔300孔底的第一 隔离层310的操作,即可有效改善第一接触孔300与其它接触孔之间以及第一接触孔300与器件有源区之间的短路风险,提高半导体器件的可靠性和制备良率,既不需要更改第一接触孔300的制备规则及图形密度,又不需要将第一接触孔300的孔径做得很小,从而在维持低成本的同时,为第一接触孔300的刻蚀工艺和后续的填充工艺留足工艺窗口,有效降低半导体器件的制备难度。In the above preparation process, before filling the first metal layer 320 in the first contact hole 300, a first isolation layer 310 is deposited on the inner wall of the first contact hole 300. The first isolation layer 310 can isolate the first metal layer 320 filled in the first contact hole 300 from the surrounding metal layer or the device active area, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit between the device active area connected to the first contact hole 300 and other device active areas. It can be seen that the preparation process only needs to add a step of depositing the first isolation layer 310 and etching the first isolation layer 310 on the top of the stack structure 200 and the bottom of the first contact hole 300 after etching the first contact hole 300, which can effectively improve the short circuit risk between the first contact hole 300 and other contact holes and between the first contact hole 300 and the device active area, improve the reliability and preparation yield of the semiconductor device, and there is no need to change the preparation rules and pattern density of the first contact hole 300, nor to make the aperture of the first contact hole 300 very small. Therefore, while maintaining low cost, sufficient process windows are left for the etching process of the first contact hole 300 and the subsequent filling process, effectively reducing the difficulty of preparing semiconductor devices.
需要说明的是,上述步骤十一是可选步骤,在其它实施方式中,也可以只在第一接触孔300内沉积第一金属层320而不在CMOS器件的表面上沉积第一金属层320,或者也可以保留沉积在CMOS器件的表面上的第一金属层320,或者还可以采用其它技术方式去除沉积在CMOS器件的表面上的第一金属层320等,具体不作限定。It should be noted that the above step eleven is an optional step. In other embodiments, the first metal layer 320 may be deposited only in the first contact hole 300 without depositing the first metal layer 320 on the surface of the CMOS device, or the first metal layer 320 deposited on the surface of the CMOS device may be retained, or other technical methods may be used to remove the first metal layer 320 deposited on the surface of the CMOS device, etc., without specific limitation.

应理解,K的取值为其它正整数的情况可参照上述内容直接实现,本申请实施例对此不再一一重复列举。It should be understood that the case where the value of K is other positive integers can be directly implemented by referring to the above content, and the embodiments of the present application will not be repeated one by one.
在上述应用三中,衬底110、第一蚀刻停止层211、第一介质层221、第二蚀刻停止层212、第二介质层222、第三蚀刻停止层213、第三介质层223和第四蚀刻停止层214构成CMOS器件的第2层结构,次源极接触孔结构和次漏极接触孔结构将源极101和漏极102从第1层结构的顶层平面进一步连接至第2层结构的顶层平面,进而可在该顶层平面上设置走线连接源极101和漏极102所需连接的芯片中的其它器件。如此,通过在接触孔结构上再设置一个接触孔结构,能进一步将源极101和漏极102连接至更高的层,进而能在第1层结构的顶层平面走线压力较大时分散部分走线至第2层结构,以适应更密集的CMOS器件布局。且,通过在次源极接触孔304的内壁和次漏极接触孔305的内壁上环绕一层隔离层10,还能在将源极101和漏极102连接至第2层结构的顶层平面的同时,尽量确保用于连接的次源极接触孔304和次漏极接触孔305内填充的金属层20不与周边金属层或器 件有源区发生短路,以便在分散CMOS器件的某一层走线压力的同时,尽量保证CMOS器件的可靠性和制备良率不下降。In the above application three, the substrate 110, the first etching stop layer 211, the first dielectric layer 221, the second etching stop layer 212, the second dielectric layer 222, the third etching stop layer 213, the third dielectric layer 223 and the fourth etching stop layer 214 constitute the second layer structure of the CMOS device, and the secondary source contact hole structure and the secondary drain contact hole structure further connect the source 101 and the drain 102 from the top plane of the first layer structure to the top plane of the second layer structure, and then the wiring can be set on the top plane to connect the source 101 and the drain 102 to other devices in the chip that need to be connected. In this way, by setting another contact hole structure on the contact hole structure, the source 101 and the drain 102 can be further connected to a higher layer, and then when the wiring pressure on the top plane of the first layer structure is large, part of the wiring can be dispersed to the second layer structure to adapt to a denser CMOS device layout. Moreover, by surrounding the inner wall of the secondary source contact hole 304 and the inner wall of the secondary drain contact hole 305 with an isolation layer 10, it is possible to connect the source 101 and the drain 102 to the top plane of the second layer structure while ensuring as much as possible that the metal layer 20 filled in the secondary source contact hole 304 and the secondary drain contact hole 305 for connection does not short-circuit with the surrounding metal layers or the device active area, so as to disperse the routing pressure of a certain layer of the CMOS device while ensuring as much as possible that the reliability and manufacturing yield of the CMOS device are not reduced.

In addition, the scheme in the embodiment of the present application also has good traceability.
