晶体管可以用于动态随机存储器(DRAM,Dynamic Random Access Memory)中,用于控制每一存储单元中的电容。动态随机存取存储器的基本存储单元结构由一个晶体管和一个存储电容组成,其主要的作用原理是利用电容内存储电荷的多寡来代表一个二进制比特(bit)是l还是0。
随着动态随机存取存储器技术的发展,存储单元的尺寸越来越小,其阵列架构由8F2到6F2再到4F2;另外,基于动态随机存取存储器中对离子和漏电流的需求,存储器的架构从平面阵列晶体管(Planar array transistor)到凹栅阵列晶体管(Recess gate arraytransistor),又从凹栅阵列晶体管到掩埋式阵列晶体管(Buried saddle Fin arraytransistor),再从掩埋式阵列晶体管到垂直栅极晶体管(Vertical gate transistor)。
实际应用中,不论是平面晶体管、凹栅阵列晶体管、掩埋式晶体管还是垂直栅极晶体管,动态随机存取存储器均由多个存储单元结构构成,每一个存储单元结构主要是由一个晶体管与一个由晶体管所操控的存储电容构成,即动态随机存取存储器包括1个晶体管(T,Transistor)和1个电容(C,Capacitance)即1T1C的架构;其主要的作用原理是利用电容内存储电荷的多寡来代表一个二进制比特(bit)是l还是0。
图1为本申请实施例中提供的一种采用1T1C的架构的电路连接示意图,如图1所示,晶体管T的漏极与位线(BL,Bite Line)电连接,晶体管T的源极与电容C的其中一个电极板电连接,电容C的另外一个电极板通过接地端(GND,Ground)接地,晶体管T的栅极与字线(WL,Word Line)连接;通过字线WL施加电压控制晶体管T导通或截止,位线BL用于在晶体管T导通时,对所述电容C执行读取或写入操作。
图2为本申请实施例中提供的一种半导体结构200的剖面示意图,本申请实
施例提供了一种半导体结构,如图2所示,所述半导体结构包括:沿Y轴方向并列设置且被第一隔离结构206间隔分开的第一晶体管210和第二晶体管220,所述第一隔离结构206中包括有气隙205(Airgap);所述第一晶体管210、第二晶体管220均包括:沿Z轴方向延伸的栅极201、沿Z轴方向延伸的沟道区204、位于栅极201与沟道区204之间且沿Z轴方向延伸的的栅氧化层(Gate oxide layer)202、分别位于所述沟道区204沿Z方向相对的两端的源极(图中未示出)和漏极(图中未示出)。栅极201位于所述沟道区204的一侧;其中,所述第一晶体管210的栅极201位于所述沟道区204的两侧中远离所述第一隔离结构206的一侧,所述第二晶体管220的栅极201位于所述沟道区204的两侧中远离所述第一隔离结构206的一侧。
在采用如图2所示的栅极垂直晶体管结构时,由于第一隔离结构206的中间形成气隙205,以改善半导体结构中相邻的第一晶体管210和第二晶体管220容易发生耦合效应的问题,但是该半导体结构对于工艺控制要求高,且容易发生倾倒问题。
为了改善上述问题,参考图3至图38所示,本申请一些实施例提供了一种半导体器件100及其制作方法、存储器320和存储系统300。本申请在相邻半导体柱10之间形成两个电极即第一电极和第二电极,于所述第一电极和第二电极在所述第三方向Z上的同一端,形成沿所述第一方向X延伸且与第二电极连接的阻隔条90,这样第一电极可以作为栅极条30,第二电极可以作为屏蔽条20,在形成栅极条30的同时形成屏蔽条20,从而可以通过屏蔽条20来防止相邻半导体柱10之间的干扰,进而降低了相邻半导体柱10之间的耦合效应。
请参阅图3至图36所示,为本申请一些实施例提供的一种半导体器件100的制作工艺过程示意图,首先就所述半导体器件100作说明,其中,图27为本申请实施例提供的一种半导体结构的一种俯视图,图28为本申请实施例提供的半导体结构在图27中GG'切割线的一种剖视图,图30为本申请实施例提供的半导体结构在图27中GG'切割线的另一种剖视图,如图27、图28和图30所示,半导体
器件100包括:
半导体柱阵列,所述半导体柱阵列包括沿第一方向与第三方向阵列排布且在第三方向上延伸的多个半导体柱10,所述第一方向、所述第二方向、以及所述第三方向彼此相交叉;

在一些具体示例中,所述第一方向和第三方向之间具有夹角,第三方向与第一方向和第三方向所在平面之间具有夹角,所述夹角范围为:小于或等于90度。例如,本申请的一些实施例中设定第一方向为X方向,第二方向为Y方向,第三方向为Z方向。
如图27所示,多个半导体柱10包括沿第一方向X排布且在所述第二方向Y相邻的第一行半导体柱10a与第二行半导体柱10b。半导体柱10用于在外加电场的作用下传递电荷或者停止电荷的传递,使得晶体管导通或者截止,每一半导体柱10的延伸方向是晶体管导通时的电流方向,示例性的,如图28和图30所示,半导体柱10的延伸方向为第三方向Z,并且多个半导体柱10沿第一方向X和第三方向Y阵列分布以形成半导体柱阵列。
在一些具体示例中,如图27、图28和图30所示,沿第二方向Y上相邻的两个半导体柱10之间设有一个栅极条30和一个屏蔽条20。另外,如图27所示,沿所述第二方向Y上位于相邻所述半导体柱10之间的栅极条30沿第一方向X延伸,沿所述第二方向Y上位于相邻所述半导体柱10之间的屏蔽条20沿第一方向X延伸,并且,沿第二方向Y上每相邻的两个半导体柱10之间的一个栅极条30和一个屏蔽条20相互之间间隔,即相邻的半导体柱10之间栅极条30和屏蔽条20不接
触或具有间距。
在一些具体示例中,如图28和图30所示,半导体结构还设有沿第一方向X延伸的阻隔条90,阻隔条90与屏蔽条20在第三方向Z上的一端接触或连接,并且,阻隔条90与位于所述屏蔽条20与所述栅极条30在所述第三方向Z上的同一侧,即阻隔条90、屏蔽条20中在所述第三方向Z上与阻隔条90连接的一端,以及栅极条30中在第三方向Z上与后文实施例形成的栅极导接结构31连接的一端位于同一侧。这样,就可以通过阻隔条90将沿第二方向Y上相邻半导体柱10之间的栅极条30和屏蔽条20隔离开,并且由于阻隔条90具有绝缘功能,这样,阻隔条90可以更好的隔离屏蔽条20与栅极条30。
在一些具体示例中,如图28和图30所示,阻隔条90位于屏蔽条20与栅极条30之间且与屏蔽条20在第三方向Z上的一端(例如,半导体柱10在第三方向Z上远离下文实施例中的电容结构70的一端)接触连接,并且阻隔条90与栅极条30在第二方向Y上具有间距。
在一些具体示例中,阻隔条90还可以位于所述屏蔽条20与半导体柱10在所述第三方向Z上的同一端,例如,如图28和图30所示,阻隔条90的第一阻隔部分90a位于相邻半导体柱10之间的屏蔽条20和栅极条30在第三方向Z上的同一端,即第一阻隔部分90a连接屏蔽条20在第三方向Z上的一端,阻隔条90的第二阻隔部分90b位于相邻半导体柱10在第三方向Z上的同一端,即第二阻隔部分90b连接半导体柱10在第三方向Z上的一端,并且屏蔽条20在第三方向Z上的一端连接的第一阻隔部分90a和半导体柱10在第三方向Z上的一端连接的第二阻隔部分90b位于第三方向Z上的同一侧。

示例性的,如图35所示,在阵列排布的多个半导体柱10的底部各自形成有一半导体柱引出触点11,可通过如图35所示的沿第一方向X和第二方向Y间隔排布的多个半导体柱引出触点11引出对应的半导体柱10,即八列半导体柱引出触点11分别依次与第一位线BL1至第八字线BL8连接。需要说明的是,本申请实施例图示中半导体柱引出触点11的数量只是示例,其他数量的半导体柱引出触点11亦在本申请保护范围内。

沿所述第三方向Y间隔排布于所述各行半导体柱10之间的多个所述阻隔条90;以及,
沿所述第三方向Y间隔排布于所述各行半导体柱10之间的多个所述栅极导接结构31。
在一些具体示例中,如图27所示,沿第一方向X上多个半导体柱10间隔排布,且沿第二方向Y上多个半导体柱10间隔排布,即多个半导体柱10沿第一方向X和第二方向Y阵列排布。如图27、图28和图31所示,多个半导体柱10沿第一方向X和第二方向Y阵列排布,沿第二方向Y上相邻的半导体柱10中的栅极条30位于各半导体柱10的一侧,即多个所述栅极条30沿所述第三方向Y间隔排布于各行半导体柱10之间,并且多个栅极条30沿第二方向Y上位于半导体柱10的一侧。沿第二方向Y上相邻的半导体柱10中的屏蔽条20位于各半导体柱10的另一
侧,即多个所述屏蔽条20沿所述第三方向Y间隔排布于各行半导体柱10之间,并且多个屏蔽条20沿第二方向Y上位于半导体柱10的另一侧。另外,沿第二方向Y上多个栅极条30与多个所述屏蔽条20交错排布,且沿第二方向Y上相邻半导体柱10中的栅极条30与屏蔽条20之间有间距。
在一些具体示例中,如图28和图30所示,半导体结构还设有沿第一方向X延伸的多个阻隔条90,每个屏蔽条20在第三方向Z上的一端连接有各自的阻隔条90,并且,多个屏蔽条20各自连接的阻隔条90均位于第三方向Z上的同一端。其中,阻隔条90与屏蔽条20在第三方向Z上的一端(例如,半导体柱10在第三方向Z上远离下文实施例中的电容结构70的一端)接触连接,阻隔条90位于所述屏蔽条20与所述栅极条30在所述第三方向Z上的同一侧,并且阻隔条90与栅极条30在第二方向Y上具有间距,这样,就可以通过阻隔条90将沿第二方向Y上相邻半导体柱10之间的栅极条30和屏蔽条20隔离开,并且由于阻隔条90具有绝缘功能,这样,与阻隔条90接触连接的屏蔽条20就能够起到屏蔽作用,从而实现改善第二方向Y上相邻晶体管之间的耦合效应,降低相邻晶体管之间的干扰,提升提高存储器的良率和可靠性。
在一些具体示例中,如图30所示沿第二方向Y上多个阻隔条90可以位于半导体柱10的一侧。当然,如图28所示沿第二方向Y上多个阻隔条90可以位于半导体柱10的另一侧。需要说明的是,阻隔条90的组成材料可参考上文实施例,在此不再一一赘述。

管T1对第二晶体管T2的干扰问题。
在一些具体示例中,如图28至图30、图32至图33所示,每个栅极条30在第三方向Z上的一端连接有栅极导接结构31,并且,多个栅极条30各自连接的栅极导接结构31均位于第三方向Z上的同一端,其中,沿第三方向Z上栅极导接结构31位于栅极条30与阻隔条90之间,栅极导接结构31与栅极条30在第三方向Z上的一端(例如,半导体柱10在第三方向Z上远离下文实施例中的电容结构70的一端)接触连接,且沿第二方向Y上栅极导接结构31与阻隔条90相邻。
在一些具体示例中,如图28所示沿第二方向Y上多个栅极导接结构31可以位于相邻半导体柱10之间的一侧,此时第二方向Y上多个阻隔条90位于相邻半导体柱10之间的另一侧。当然,如图30所示沿第二方向Y上多个栅极导接结构31可以位于半导体柱10的另一侧,此时第二方向Y上多个阻隔条90位于相邻半导体柱10之间的一侧。总之,栅极导接结构31和阻隔条90位于半导体柱10沿第三方向Z上的同一侧,且栅极导接结构31和阻隔条90位于相邻半导体柱10沿第二方向Y上的不同侧。需要说明的是,栅极导接结构31的组成材料可参考上文实施例,在此不再一一赘述。

在具体的示例中,如图30、图34和图32所示,半导体器件100包括沿第一方向X上以及第二方向Y上依图30和图32所示示例的四个栅极条30的排列顺序同时或同步间隔排布的栅极引出触点32a、栅极引出触点32b、栅极引出触点32c和栅极引出触点32d,从而呈阶梯状排列,半导体器件100包括沿第一方向X上以及第二方向Y上如图32和图34所示,半导体器件100所示示例
的四个屏蔽条20的排列顺序同时或同步间隔排布的屏蔽引出触点21a、屏蔽引出触点21b、屏蔽引出触点21c和屏蔽引出触点21d,从而呈阶梯状排列,并且,栅极引出触点32位于相邻半导体柱10之间的一栅极条30沿第三方向Z上远离下文实施例中电容结构70的一端,屏蔽引出触点21位于相邻半导体柱10之间的一屏蔽条20沿第三方向Z上远离下文实施例中电容结构70的一端。需要说明的是,栅极引出触点32、屏蔽引出触点21的组成材料可参考上文实施例,在此不再一一赘述。

示例性的,如图31所示,沿第二方向Y上间隔排列设置有四个沿第一方向延伸X的四个栅极条30,每个栅极条30沿第二方向Y上靠近下文实施例中隔离结构50的一侧连接有一个栅极导接结构31,一个所述栅极导接结构31对应连接有一个所述栅极引出触点32,通过四个间隔排列的栅极引出触点32及其各自连接的栅极导接结构31引出四个栅极条30,即四个栅极条30分别依次与第一字线WL1、第二字线WL2、第三字线WL3和第四字线WL4连接。同理,沿第二方向Y上间隔排列设置有四个沿第一方向延伸X的四个屏蔽条20,每个屏蔽条20沿第二方向上靠近下文实施例中隔离结构50的一侧连接有一个阻隔条90,一个屏蔽条对应连接有一个所述屏蔽引出触点21,通过四个间隔排列的屏蔽引出触点21来引出四个屏蔽条20,即四个屏蔽条20分别依次与第一盘线PL1、第二盘线PL2、第三盘线PL2和第四盘线PL4连接。可以通过盘线PL(Plate Line)对其连接的屏蔽条20施加一定的固定电压,以使屏蔽条20可以屏蔽相邻半导体柱10之间的干扰。需要说明的是,本申请实施例图示中栅极引出触点32与屏蔽引出触点21的数量只是示例,其他数量的半导体柱引出触点11亦在本申请保护范围内。
在一些实施例中,如图32和图34所示,所述半导体器件100还包括多个栅极引出触点32与多个屏蔽引出触点21,一个所述栅极引出触点32对应于一个所述栅极导接结构31,一个所述屏蔽引出触点21对应于一个所述屏蔽条20,且所述多个栅极引出触点32与所述多个屏蔽引出触点21沿所述第一方向X与所述第二方向Y同步交错间隔排列而呈阶梯状分布。
示例性的,如图34所示,同样可以参照图31所示引出四个栅极条30和四个屏蔽条20,图34与图31的不同在于图34的多个栅极引出触点32与多个屏蔽引出触点21沿所述第二方向Y交错间隔排列呈阶梯状分布。
在一些实施例中,所述半导体柱10在所述第二方向Y上的横截面尺寸,与两相邻所述半导体柱10之间的间隔尺寸相等。
在一些具体示例中,如图32所示,沿第二方向Y上各半导体柱10在所述第二方向Y上的横截面尺寸L2等于相邻所述半导体柱10之间的间隔尺寸L1。由于工艺精度控制的原因,本实施例中的等于包括近似等于或者约等于。本申请的一些实施例中在相邻半导体柱10之间形成两个电极即第一电极和第二电极,于所述第一电极和第二电极在所述第三方向Z上的同一端,形成沿所述第一方向X延伸且与第二电极连接的阻隔条90,这样第一电极可以作为栅极条30,第二电极可以作为屏蔽条20,不需要在相邻半导体柱10直接形成气隙或者其他屏蔽隔离结构50,通过阻隔条90可以在形成栅极条30的同时形成屏蔽条20,这样可以屏蔽栅极条30对相邻半导体柱10的干扰,进而降低了相邻半导体柱10之间的耦合效应。而且,沿第二方向Y上各半导体柱10在所述第二方向Y上的横截面尺寸L2等于相邻所述半导体柱10之间的间隔尺寸L1,降低负载效应,工艺控制难度降低。
在一些实施例中,所述半导体柱10在所述第二方向Y上的横截面尺寸,与两相邻所述半导体柱10之间的间隔尺寸的差异小于预设值。
在一些具体示例中,如图32所示,沿第二方向Y上各半导体柱10在所述第二方向Y上的横截面尺寸L2等于相邻所述半导体柱10之间的间隔尺寸L1的尺寸
差异小于基于工艺或者设备的精度要求、或者产品要求的设定数值,例如,间隔尺寸L1和横截面尺寸L2的差值的绝对值小于及其他可行数值,即|L1-L2|<△L,△L指代预设值。
在一些实施例中,所述半导体器件100还包括:
位于所述半导体柱10与所述栅极条30之间以及所述半导体柱10与所述屏蔽条20之间的第一氧化层41;
位于所述栅极条30和所述屏蔽条20之间的隔离结构50。
在一些具体示例中,如图18至图26、图28至图30和图32所示,半导体器件100还包括第一氧化层41和隔离结构50。其中,沿第二方向Y上半导体柱10与所述栅极条30之间设有第一氧化层41,并且沿第二方向Y上所述半导体柱10与所述屏蔽条20之间设有第一氧化层41。另外,沿第二方向Y上所述栅极条30和所述屏蔽条20之间设有隔离结构50。如图18至图26、图28至图30和图32所示,沿第二方向Y上半导体柱10、第一氧化层41、栅极条30、隔离结构50、屏蔽条20、第一氧化层41、半导体柱10依次排布。
在一些实施例中,在第二方向Y上相邻半导体柱10之间设有一栅极条30和一屏蔽条20,并且半导体柱10与屏蔽条20之间的间隔距离与相邻半导体柱10与栅极条30之间的间隔距离相同。也就是说,在第二方向Y上一个栅极条30和一个屏蔽条20分别位于相邻半导体柱10的不同侧壁,并且屏蔽条20与栅极条30之间的位置镜像对称。
如图2所示的第一隔离结构206沿第二方向Y上位于相邻两个栅极201之间的中间位置,在第二方向Y上相邻沟道区204的中间位置设有一个第一隔离结构206,也就是说,在第二方向Y上第一隔离结构206与相邻沟道区204的距离相同,且在第二方向Y上第一隔离结构206与相邻栅极201的距离相同。不同于图2所示,本申请由于如图11至图28所示,同步形成栅极沟槽K2,沿第二方向Y在栅极沟槽的不同侧壁沉积形成第一电极和第二电极,在位于一侧壁的第二电极沿所述第三方向Z上的一侧形成阻隔条90,从而使得与阻隔条90连接的第二电极
形成具有屏蔽作用的屏蔽条20,使得未与阻隔条90连接的第一电极形成栅极条,相对于图2而言额外在相邻晶体管之间挖槽得到用于形成第一隔离结构206的隔离凹槽,本申请直接利用多个等间矩排布的多个栅极凹槽形成镜像对称设置的导电层配合阻隔条形成栅极条30和屏蔽条20,降低工艺控制难度,还可以增强半导体柱10的强度,提升半导体器件100的抗倾倒能力。
在一些具体示例中,第一氧化层41的组成材料可以包括氧化硅、氮氧化硅等。
在一些具体示例中,隔离结构50的组成材料可以包括氧化硅、氮化硅、氮氧化硅、氧化铝、聚硅氧烷或者聚硅氮烷等绝缘材料中的任意一种或者多种组合。
在一些实施例中,所述半导体器件100还包括:位于所述半导体柱阵列在所述第三方向Z上的另一端的电容阵列71,所述电容阵列71包括多个沿所述第一方向X与所述第二方向Y阵列排布且在所述第三方向Z上延伸的多个电容结构70,所述电容结构70包括与所述半导体柱10在所述第三方向Z上的另一端连接的第一电极层(图中未示出),以及位于所述第一电极层内的电容介质层(图中未示出)和第二电极层(图中未示出)。
在一些具体示例中,如图28、图30和图32所示,半导体器件100还包括电容阵列71,电容阵列71包括多个在所述第三方向Z上延伸的电容结构70,多个电容结构70沿所述第一方向X与所述第二方向Y阵列排布,并且沿第三方向Z上各半导体柱10的另一端(即与上文实施例中与阻隔条90、栅极导接结构31连接的与半导体柱10的一端沿第三方向Z上是相对两端)连接有一个电容结构70。并且,每个电容结构70包括与所述半导体柱10的源极连接的第一电极层。
半导体阵列的各半导体柱10侧壁形成有栅极条30,位于同一列的各半导体柱10(即沿第二方向Y间隔排布的各半导体柱10)的栅极条30相连接以形成字线,晶体管阵列的各半导体柱10沿第三方向Z上的一端形成源极(图中未示出),源极与电容结构70的第一电极层连接,晶体管阵列的各半导体柱10沿第
三方向Z上的另一端形成漏极(图中未示出),位于同一行的各半导体柱10(即沿第一方向X间隔排布的各半导体柱10)的漏极相连接以形成位线BL(图中未示出)。在上述半导体器件100中半导体柱10沿第三方向Z延伸,源极和漏极分别形成在半导体柱10沿第三方向Z的相对两端,沿第三方向Z上电容结构70和位线BL分别位于半导体柱10的相对两侧,这样可以在衬底1的两侧分别制作,提高工艺制造效率。
可以理解的是,半导体柱10的源极与漏极是一种相对的概念,源极和漏极可以是半导体柱10的沿第三方向Z上的任意一个表面。
其中,一个电容结构70与一个晶体管构成一个DRAM存储单元,通过晶体管的导通与关闭,实现对所连接电容结构70的选定与非选定,进而可实现对选中的存储单元进行读、写或者擦除操作。本申请实施例对电容结构70和晶体管的数量不作限制,可以是电容阵列71与晶体管阵列(包括多个沿第一方向X和第二方向Y阵列排布的晶体管)耦接,构成DRAM阵列存储结构。
可以理解的是,晶体管的源极与漏极是一种相对的概念,跟晶体管实际接入电路的方式相关,而与源极与漏极处于晶体管的物理位置无关。在一些示例中,当晶体管接入电路后,可将晶体管接入电路的输入端作为源极,输出端作为漏极,载流子从源极流入漏极。为了更好的解释说明本申请实施例中电容结构70与晶体管的耦接关系,将晶体管与电容结构70耦接的一端作为漏极,而晶体管的源极则可以与施加操作电压的位线BL耦接。
本申请实施例还提供一种半导体器件100的制作方法,可以通过下述半导体器件100的制作方法制造得到上述实施例中的半导体器件100。图37是本申请实施例中半导体器件100的制作方法的流程示意图,如图37所示,包括:
S100、形成多个半导体柱10,并使所述多个半导体柱10在第一方向X与第三方向Y阵列排布且在第三方向Z上延伸,所述第一方向X、所述第二方向Y、以及所述第三方向Z彼此相交叉。
在一些实施例中,所述形成多个半导体柱10的步骤包括:
S110、提供一衬底1。
在一些具体的示例中,衬底1是用于制作半导体器件100的材料,衬底1的材料可以包括硅(例如,单晶硅、多晶硅)、硅锗(SiGe)、碳化硅(SiC)、氮化镓(GaN)、磷化铟(InP)、砷化镓(GaAs)、锗(Ge)、绝缘体上硅(SOI)、绝缘体上锗(GOI)或其任何合适的组合。衬底1可以包括由圆柱形的单晶硅经过研磨、抛光以及切片等步骤后形成的晶圆。
在一些具体的示例中,在形成步骤S120的隔离沟槽K1之前,先沿第三方向Z沉积形成覆盖衬底1的第一介质层14,然后高温条件下沿第三方向Z沉积覆盖第一介质层14的第二氧化层(liner oxide)13以修复衬底1表面,以形成如图3和图4所示沿第三方向Z上衬底1、第一介质层14和第二氧化层13依次层叠的结构。
在一些具体的示例中,第二氧化层13和第一介质层14的组成材料可以包括氧化硅、氮化硅、氧化铝或氮氧化硅中的任意一种或多种。
S120、如图5和图6所示在所述衬底1中形成多个沿所述第三方向Y延伸且沿第一方向X间隔排布的隔离沟槽K1,如图7和图8所示,并于所述隔离沟槽K1的内壁填入介质材料42;
在一些具体的示例中,可以在衬底1中形成多个隔离沟槽K1,也可以如图5和图6所示在如图3和图4所示的结构中形成多个隔离沟槽K1。如图5和图6所示,多个隔离沟槽K1沿所述第二方向Y延伸且沿第一方向X间隔排布,并且隔离沟槽K1沿第三方向Z延伸但不穿透衬底1。
形成隔离沟槽K1的步骤包括:从如图4所示的第二氧化层13表面刻蚀,形成沿第三方向Y延伸且沿第一方向X间隔排布的隔离沟槽K1,并且隔离沟槽K1可以沿第三方向Z延伸至衬底1但不穿透衬底1。如5和图6所示,在进行刻蚀的过程中,可以通过掩模(图中未示出)遮盖衬底1或第二氧化层13表面的部分区域,即需要形成隔离沟槽K1的各区域。然后对衬底1表面沿衬底1的厚度方向(即第三方向Z)进行刻蚀,在掩模遮盖的区域以外,衬底1、第一介质层14和第二
氧化层13均被刻蚀掉一部分,形成一定深度的凹槽,即上述隔离沟槽K1。需要注意的是,形成隔离沟槽K1的刻蚀深度小于衬底1的初始厚度,即刻蚀过程不会将衬底1刻穿。
在一些具体的示例中,可以采用光刻(Photolithography,PH)或者干法刻蚀(Etching,ET)等工艺进行刻蚀,例如,电子束光刻工艺、等离子体刻蚀工艺或者反应离子刻蚀工艺等,本申请的一些实施例不做限定。
本申请一些实施例中,通过对整个衬底1表面进行刻蚀,同步地形成多个具有相同深度的隔离沟槽K1,可以简化制造工艺,提高效率。

在一些实施例中,介质材料42包括但不限于氮化硅、氧化硅或氮氧化硅中任一种或任意多种的组合。此处氧化硅是指硅氧化合物,如SixOy,氮化硅是指氮硅化合物,如SixNy。
由于如图5和图6所示形成隔离沟槽K1,多个隔离沟槽K1沿第一方向X间隔排布,因此,衬底1中形成去除部分半导体材料形成的隔离沟槽K1与隔离沟槽K1之间会有用于间隔相邻两个隔离沟槽K1的凸起结构211。需要说明的是,在实际沉积介质材料42的过程中,介质材料42会覆盖在凸起结构211的表面,如图7所示,每一凸起结构211的周围填充有介质材料42。另外,在沉积完成后,可以采用化学机械研磨(Chemical Mechanical Polishing,CMP)工艺,打磨去除多余的介质材料42以实现平坦化。

在一些具体示例中,在隔离沟槽K1内填充介质材料42后,如图9、图10所示,在所述衬底1中形成沿所述第一方向X延伸且沿第二方向Y间隔排布的栅极沟槽K2,且沿第二方向Y上所述半导体柱10位于相邻的所述栅极沟槽K2之间,由于填充有介质材料42的隔离沟槽K1沿第二方向Y延伸且沿第一方向X间隔排布,而栅极沟槽K2沿第一方向X延伸且第二方向Y间隔排布,因此通过栅极沟槽K2可以将填充有介质材料42的隔离沟槽K1划分为在第一方向X与第三方向Y阵列排布且在第三方向Z上延伸的多个半导体柱10。
在一些具体示例中,在第二方向Y间隔排布的多个栅极沟槽K2沿第一方向X上的尺寸可以相同也可以不同。例如,如图9、图10所示,所述栅极沟槽K2a和所述栅极沟槽K2b沿所述第三方向Y间隔交错排布,且所述栅极沟槽K2a沿所述第一方向X的尺寸大于所述栅极沟槽K2b沿所述第一方向X的尺寸。
在一些具体示例中,刻蚀形成的栅极沟槽K2沿所述第二方向Y的尺寸等于半导体柱10沿所述第三方向Y的尺寸。

在一些具体示例中,如图9和图10所示,形成栅极沟槽K2后,可以如图11和图12所示,在所述栅极沟槽K2的侧壁内形成第一氧化层41,第一氧化层41可以是利用热氧化法(RTO,Rapid Thermal Oxidation)或原位蒸汽生成法
(ISSG,In-situ Stream Generation)形成的氧化硅层。如图11和图12所示,通过所述栅极沟槽K2对所述半导体柱10裸露的侧壁进行氧化处理,在所述半导体柱10的所述侧壁即所述栅极沟槽K2的侧壁内形成第一氧化层41。对上述半导体柱10裸露在栅极沟槽K2内的侧壁进行氧化处理的工艺包括但不限于:直接氧化,碱性氧化或者酸性氧化。
