具体实施方式
下面将结合本公开实施方式及附图,对本公开实施方式中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施方式仅仅是本公开的一部分实施方式,而不是全部的实施方式。基于本公开中的实施方式,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施方式,都属于本公开保护的范围。
在下文的描述中,给出了大量具体的细节以便提供对本公开更为彻底的理解。然而,对于本领域技术人员而言显而易见的是,本公开可以无需一个或多个这些细节而得以实施。在其他的例子中,为了避免与本公开发生混淆,对于本领域公知的一些技术特征未进行描述;即,这里不描述实际实施例的全部特征,不详细描述公知的功能和结构。
在附图中,为了清楚,层、区、元件的尺寸以及其相对尺寸可能被夸大。自始至终相同附图标记表示相同的元件。
应当明白,当元件或层被称为“在……上”、“与……相邻”、“连接到”或“耦合到”其它元件或层时,其可以直接地在其它元件或层上、与之相邻、连接或耦合到其它元件或层,或者可以存在居间的元件或层。相反,当元件被称为“直接在……上”、“与……直接相邻”、“直接连接到”或“直接耦合到”其它元件或层时,则不存在居间的元件或层。应当明白,尽管可使用术语第一、第二、第三等描述各种元件、部件、区、层和/或部分,这些元件、部件、区、层和/或部分不应当被这些术语限制。这些术语仅仅用来区分一个元件、部件、区、层或部分与另一个元件、部件、区、层或部分。因此,在不脱离本公开教导之下,下面讨论的第一元件、部件、区、层或部分可表示为第二元件、部件、区、层或部分。而当讨论的第二元件、部件、区、层或部分时,并不表明本公开必然存在第一元件、部件、区、层或部分。
空间关系术语例如“在……下”、“在……下面”、“下面的”、“在……之下”、“在……之上”、“上面的”等,在这里可为了方便描述而被使用从而描述图中所示的一个元件或特征与其它元件或特征的关系。应当明白,除了图中所示的取向以外,空间关系术语意图还包括使用和操作中的器件的不同取向。例如,如果附图中的器件翻转,然后,描述为“在其它元件下面”或“在其之下”或“在其下”元件或特征将取向为在其它元件或特征“上”。因此,示例性术语“在……下面”和“在……下”可包括上和下两个取向。器件可以另外地取向(旋转90度或其它取向)并且在此使用的空间描述语相应地被解释。
在此使用的术语的目的仅在于描述具体实施例并且不作为本公开的限制。在此使用时,单数形式的“一”、“一个”和“所述/该”也意图包括复数形式,除非上下文清楚指出另外的方式。还应明白术语“组成”和/或“包括”,当在该说明书中使用时,确定所述特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件 和/或部件的存在,但不排除一个或更多其它的特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件、部件和/或组的存在或添加。在此使用时,术语“和/或”包括相关所列项目的任何及所有组合。
为了彻底理解本公开,将在下列的描述中提出详细的步骤以及详细的结构,以便阐释本公开的技术方案。本公开的较佳实施例详细描述如下,然而除了这些详细描述外,本公开还可以具有其他实施方式。
参考图1,图1为一示例提供的半导体器件的三维结构示意图。如图1所示,半导体器件100包括:衬底(图1中未示意出)以及位于衬底上的多个半导体柱101,半导体柱101沿Y方向延伸,且沿X方向和Z方向呈阵列排布;其中,半导体柱101沿延伸方向包括源极、漏极以及位于源极和漏极之间的沟道区;围绕半导体柱101的沟道区的字线102,字线102沿Z方向延伸且沿Z方向排列的多个半导体柱101连接至同一字线102;和半导体柱101的源极或者漏极连接的位线104,位线104沿X方向延伸且沿X方向排列的多个半导体柱101的源极或者漏极连接至同一位线104;和半导体柱101的漏极或者源极连接的存储电容106,存储电容106沿Y方向延伸。
上述示例中,X方向和Y方向之间的夹角为90度,且X方向、Y方向均垂直于Z方向。在其他示例中,X方向和Y方向之间的夹角也可以是其他角度,例如,30度、45度或者90度,本示例并不构成对X方向、Y方向和Z方向之间的夹角角度的限定。
如图1所示,半导体器件100还包括:多个字线延伸线103,字线延伸线103沿Z方向延伸且沿X方向排列,不同字线延伸线103底部连接至不同字线102;多个位线延伸线105,位线延伸线105沿Z方向延伸且沿X方向排列,不同位线延伸线105底部连接至不同的位线104。
上述半导体器件100还包括:隔离层107,隔离层107沿X方向延伸,字线102位于沿Y方向相邻隔离层107之间,半导体柱101沿Y方向穿过隔离层107,隔离层107可以将字线102和半导体柱101的源极、漏极分隔开,避免半导体柱形成的晶体管中源极或者漏极与沟道区发生漏电,从而避免半导体器件的性能受到影响。
上述示例中的半导体器件100为1个晶体管和1个存储电容(1T1C)结构的三维动态随机存取存储器(3D Dynamic Random Access Memory,3D DRAM)。使用铟镓锌氧化物(Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide,IGZO)作为上述DRAM的沟道材料,可以进一步减小漏电以提高DRAM的电学性能,并且上述DRAM的制造工艺相对简单且成本较低,已经成为目前行业内的重点研究对象。
然而,IGZO作为N型半导体材料,其阈值电压更偏向于负电压,但对于DRAM而言,正电压的阈值电压更有利于减小漏电,从而可以延长存储数据的保持时间(Retention Time)。
有鉴于此,本公开实施例提供一种半导体器件及其制造方法。

通过去除与层间绝缘层204对应的部分沟道层217,自对准地将各晶体管220之间的沟道层217沿Z方向上断开形成沟道部228,能够避免相邻晶体管220之间的相互干扰,从而降低晶体管220的漏电。

本公开实施例中,先刻蚀去除第一子叠层结构209内的层间绝缘层204,以形成第一间隙223,后刻蚀去除第二子叠层结构210和第三子叠层结构211和第五子叠层结构213内的层间绝缘层204,以形成第二间隙226;即先形成第一层间隔离层224后形成第二层间隔离层227。
在其他实施例中,也可以先形成第二间隙后形成第一间隙,即也可以先形成第二隔离层后形成第一隔离层。在另一些实施例中,可以同时形成第二间隙和第一间隙,并同时通过第二间隙和第一间隙将暴露的沟道层进行部分去除。本公开对形成第一间隙和第二间隙的工艺顺序并无特殊的限定,只要能够将沟道层隔离为沿Z方向排列的多个沟道部即可。
本公开实施例中,晶体管沿X方向和Z方向呈阵列排布,第一层间隔离层和第二层间隔离层将沿Z方向排列的晶体管隔离开,沿X方向排列的多个晶体管之间没有额外的隔离结构,单个晶体管的占用面积减小,有利于提高半导体器件的集成密度。
仍如图4F所示,在一些实施例中,沟道部228沿第二方向(即Y方向)上相对设置的两个侧壁分别形成第一源漏极229和第二源漏极230。
需要说明的是,本公开实施例中,第一源漏极229用于连接位线,第二源漏极230用于连接存储电容。当第一源漏极作为晶体管的源极时,对应的第二源漏极作为晶体管的漏极;当第一源漏极作为晶体管的漏极时,对应的第二源漏极作为晶体管的源极。
如图3M所示,在一些实施例中,在第二间隙226内填充隔离材料,以形成第二层间隔离层227之后,该制造方法还包括:刻蚀去除第五子叠层结构213内的半导体层203,以形成第三间隙231;此时第三间隙231暴露出第一源漏极229。
需要说明的是,如前所述,如果形成沟道孔215的过程中仅刻蚀叠层结构202中的第四子叠层结构212,那么此时还需要去除第二子叠层结构210内的半导体层203,在第二子叠层结构210内的半导体层203所占据的空间形成位线接触结构。如果形成沟道孔215的过程中已经刻蚀叠层结构202中的第四子叠层结构212和第二子叠层结构210,那么此时仅需要去除第五子叠层结构213内的半导体层203,以形成第三间隙231。
这里,形成第三间隙231的工艺可以包括但不限于湿法刻蚀、干法刻蚀或其组合。
如图3N所示,在一些实施例中,在第三间隙231内填充导电材料,以形成沿第一方向(即X方向)延伸且与第一源漏极229电连接的多个位线232,沿X方向排列的多个第一源漏极229连接至同一位线232。
这里,位线232的材料可以包括但不限于金属、金属化合物或者合金。其中,金属可以例如为铜、铝、钨、金或者银等;金属化合物可以例如为氮化钽或者氮化钛;合金可以为铜、铝、钨、金或者银中至少两种金属元素形成的合金。
这里,形成位线232的工艺可以包括但不限于湿法刻蚀、干法刻蚀或其组合。
在一些实施例中,还可以形成位线延伸线,不同位线延伸线底部连接至不同位线。
这里,位线和位线延伸线的材料可以相同或者不同。
如图3O所示,在一些实施例中,在第二间隙226内填充隔离材料,以形成第二层间隔离层227之后,该制造方法还包括:刻蚀去除第三子叠层结构211内的半导体层203,以形成第四间隙233;此时第四间隙233暴露出第二源漏极230。
这里,形成第四间隙233的工艺可以包括但不限于湿法刻蚀、干法刻蚀或其组合。
如图3P所示,在一些实施例中,在第四间隙233内形成与第二源漏极230电连接的存储电容234。存储电容234沿X方向和Z方向呈阵列排布,每一存储电容234沿Y方向延伸。这有利于增大存储电容的纵横比,即长度与宽度或者直径之比,从而使得相邻晶体管之间的存储电容的距离增加,避免存储电容之间产生集成电容。本公开对存储电容的具体结构并无特殊的限定,任何相关技术方案中的存储电容结构均可以用于本方案中。
本公开实施例中,先刻蚀去除第五子叠层结构213内的半导体层203,以形成第三间隙231,后刻蚀去除第三子叠层结构211内的半导体层203,以形成第四间隙233;即先形成位线232后形成存储电容234。
在其他实施例中,也可以先形成第四间隙后形成第三间隙,即也可以先形成存储电容后形成位线。本公开对形成第三间隙和第四间隙的工艺顺序并无特殊的限定。
图3A至图3P示意出的实施例中在第一间隙223内形成第一层间隔离层224之后即在阈值电压调节孔221内形成阈值电压调节结构225。
在一些实施例中,还可以在第一间隙内形成第一层间隔离层之后即在阈值电压调节孔内形成牺牲结构,在第三间隙内形成位线以及在第四间隙内形成存储电容之后,再刻蚀形成阈值电压调节孔,并且在阈值电压调节孔内形成阈值电压调节结构。
在另一些实施例中,还可以在第一间隙内形成第一层间隔离层之后即在阈值电压调节孔内形成牺牲结构,后续可以在第三间隙和阈值电压调节孔内同时填充导电材料,以分别在第三间隙内形成位线且在阈值电压调节孔内形成阈值电压调节结构。
在上述实施例中,在第二间隙226内填充隔离材料,以形成第二层间隔离层227之后,该制造方法还包括:
去除第五子叠层结构213内的半导体层203,以形成第三间隙231;第三间隙231暴露出第一源漏极229;
刻蚀形成贯穿第一子叠层结构209的阈值电压调节孔221;阈值电压调节孔221位于相邻沟道孔215之间,且位于相邻沟道孔215之间剩余的半导体层203作为背栅电极222;
在第三间隙231和阈值电压调节孔221内同时填充导电材料,以分别形成沿第一方向(即X方向)延伸且与第一源漏极229电连接的多个位线232和电连接背栅电极222的阈值电压调节结构225;其中,阈值电压调节结构225用于调节晶体管220的阈值电压。
这里,形成第三间隙231和阈值电压调节孔221的工艺可以包括但不限于湿法刻蚀、干法刻蚀或其组合。
本公开实施例中,在第三间隙231和阈值电压调节孔221内同时填充导电材料,可以节省制造时间且降低制造成本。
参考图5A和图5B,图5A为一示例提供的半导体器件的三维结构示意图,图5B为一示例提供的半导体器件的XY剖面结构示意图。如图5A和图5B所示,本公开实施例提供一种半导体器件200,该半导体器件200包括:衬底(图5A和图5B未示意出);沿第一方向(即X方向)和第三方向(即Z方向)呈阵列排布的多个沟道部228,沿Z方向延伸且贯穿沟道部228的栅电极219;位于沟道部228和栅电极219之间的第二栅介质层218;沟道部228、第二栅介质层218和栅电极219共同构成晶体管220;覆盖每个沟道部228沿X方向上相对设置的两个侧壁的第一栅介质层216;位于沿即X方向排列的相邻晶体管220之间的背栅电极222;其中,背栅电极222和第一栅介质层216直接接触;背栅电极222用于调节晶体管220的阈值电压。
在一些实施例中,沟道部228的材料可以包括但不限于氧化物半导体材料,例如,IGZO、ZTO、IZO、氧化锌、IGSO和氧化铟。
在一些实施例中,背栅电极222可以为P型重掺杂多晶硅材料,掺杂浓度为1E21~1E23cm-3,功函数为4~5.5eV。由于IGZO材料形成的晶体管的阈值电压通常偏负电压,通过设置背栅电极222可以调节晶体管220的阈值电压为正电压,从而能够有利于减小晶体管漏电,从而可以延长存储数据的保持时间(Retention Time)。
通过在沿X方向排列的相邻晶体管220之间设置的背栅电极222以将晶体管220间隔开,无需设置额外的隔离结构,从而能够提升晶体管220的集成度。
这里,第二栅介质层218围绕栅电极219,沟道部228围绕第二栅介质层218。
在一些实施例中,沟道部228沿Y方向上相对设置的两个侧壁分别构成第一源漏极229(如图5B中虚线方框示意出)和第二源漏极230(如图5B中虚线方框示意出);该半导体器件200还包括:沿X方向延伸的位线232,且沿X方向排列的多个第一源漏极229连接至同一位线232;多个存储电容234,且存储电容234和第二源漏极230连接。
这里,沿Z方向排列的多个第一源漏极229连接至不同位线232。
在一些实施例中,第一源漏极229和第二源漏极230与背栅电极222沿Y方向上相对设置的两个侧壁分别对齐,即,在Y方向上,背栅电极222的尺寸等于第一源漏极229和第二源漏极230之间的间距。沿Z方向排列的多个第一源漏极229通过位线接触结构连接至不同位线232。
在一些实施例中,沿Z方向排列的多个第一源漏极229直接连接至不同位线232,第一源漏极229沿Y方向凸出于背栅电极222沿Y方向上的侧壁,背栅电极222和位线之间设置有隔离结构214。隔离结构214的材料可以包括低介电常数材料,例如,氧化硅、氮化硅、碳化硅、氮碳化硅或氮氧化硅。隔离结构214可降低位线232和背栅电极222之间的耦合,减小两者之间的寄生电容。
在一些实施例中,第一源漏极229和第二源漏极230与背栅电极222沿Y方向上相对设置的两个侧壁均不对齐,第一源漏极229沿Y方向且朝向位线232的方向凸出于背栅电极222沿Y方向上的靠近位线232的侧壁,第二源漏极230沿Y方向且背离位线232的方向凸出于背栅电极222沿Y方向上的远离位线232的侧壁,从而能够增大沟道部228的沟道长度,降低短沟道效应。
参考图6A和图6B,图6A为一示例提供的半导体器件的三维结构示意图,图6B为一示例提供的半导体器件的XY剖面结构示意图。在一些实施例中,该半导体器件200还包括:位于沿X方向排列的相邻沟道部228的相邻背栅电极222之间的阈值电压调节结构225,阈值电压调节结构225沿Z方向延伸且电连接沿Z方向排列的多个背栅电极222。阈值电压调节结构225可用于对背栅电极222施加电压以进一步调节晶体管220的阈值电压。
在一些实施例中,沟道部228呈平行于衬底的环状结构;沟道部228沿Y方向的尺寸大于或等于背栅电极222沿Y方向的尺寸。
这里,沟道部228沿X方向和Z方向呈阵列排布,每一沟道部228均为平行于XY平面的环状结构。
