Description

半导体结构的形成方法Method for forming semiconductor structure

技术领域Technical Field

本发明涉及半导体制造技术领域,尤其涉及一种半导体结构的形成方法。The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a method for forming a semiconductor structure.

背景技术Background Art

随着半导体器件集成度的提高,晶体管的关键尺寸不断缩小。然而,随着晶体管尺寸的急剧减小,栅介质层厚度与工作电压不能相应改变使抑制短沟道效应的难度加大,使晶体管的沟道漏电流增大。As the integration of semiconductor devices increases, the critical dimensions of transistors continue to shrink. However, as the size of transistors decreases dramatically, the thickness of the gate dielectric layer and the operating voltage cannot change accordingly, making it more difficult to suppress the short channel effect and increasing the channel leakage current of the transistor.

鳍式场效应晶体管(Fin Field-Effect Transistor,FinFET)的栅极成类似鱼鳍的叉状3D架构。FinFET的沟道凸出衬底表面形成鳍部,栅极覆盖鳍部的顶面和侧壁,从而使反型层形成在沟道各侧上,可于鳍部的两侧控制电路的接通与断开。这种设计能够增加栅极对沟道区的控制,从而能够很好地抑制晶体管的短沟道效应。然而,鳍式场效应晶体管仍然存在短沟道效应。The gate of the Fin Field-Effect Transistor (FinFET) is a forked 3D structure similar to a fish fin. The channel of the FinFET protrudes from the surface of the substrate to form a fin, and the gate covers the top surface and sidewalls of the fin, so that an inversion layer is formed on each side of the channel, which can control the connection and disconnection of the circuit on both sides of the fin. This design can increase the control of the gate over the channel region, thereby effectively suppressing the short channel effect of the transistor. However, the Fin Field-Effect Transistor still has a short channel effect.

此外,为了进一步减小短沟道效应对半导体器件的影响,降低沟道漏电流。半导体技术领域引入了应变硅技术,应变硅技术的方法包括:在栅极结构两侧的鳍部中形成凹槽;通过外延生长工艺在所述凹槽中形成源漏掺杂区。In addition, in order to further reduce the impact of the short channel effect on semiconductor devices and reduce channel leakage current, strained silicon technology has been introduced into the field of semiconductor technology. The method of strained silicon technology includes: forming grooves in the fins on both sides of the gate structure; and forming source and drain doping regions in the grooves by an epitaxial growth process.

为了防止不同晶体管的源漏掺杂区相互连接,需要在鳍部中形成隔离层,同时为了减小隔离层的面积,提高所形成半导体结构的集成度。现有技术引入了SDB(SingleDiffusion Break)技术。In order to prevent the source and drain doping regions of different transistors from being connected to each other, an isolation layer needs to be formed in the fin, and in order to reduce the area of the isolation layer and improve the integration of the formed semiconductor structure, the prior art introduces SDB (Single Diffusion Break) technology.

然而,现有方法在形成半导体结构的过程中仍存在诸多问题。However, the existing methods still have many problems in the process of forming semiconductor structures.

在本实施例中,通过形成所述第一隔离结构106和所述第二隔离结构107,能够有效的防止所述第一鳍部101内形成的第一源漏掺杂层之间发生的短接、以及所述第二鳍部102内形成的第二源漏掺杂层之间发生短接的问题,起到隔离效果。In this embodiment, by forming the first isolation structure 106 and the second isolation structure 107, the short circuit between the first source-drain doped layers formed in the first fin 101 and the short circuit between the second source-drain doped layers formed in the second fin 102 can be effectively prevented, thereby achieving an isolation effect.

在本实施例中,所述第一鳍部101用于形成PMOS晶体管结构,所述第二鳍部102用于形成NMOS晶体管结构,由于PMOS晶体管结构和NMOS晶体管结构对鳍部的应力要求不同,PMOS晶体管结构需要所述第一鳍部101提供压应力,所述压应力通过所述第一隔离结构106作用所述第一鳍部101产生,而NMOS晶体管结构需要所述第二鳍部102提供拉应力,所述拉应力通过所述第二隔离结构107作用所述第二鳍部102产生。由于拉应力和压应力为两种不同的应力类型,因此对应的所述第一隔离结构106与所述第二隔离结构107的结构形态也会不同。在本实施例中,通过将所述第一开口和第二开口的深度设置不同,以此实现形成不同结构形态的所述第一隔离结构106和所述第二隔离结构107,并使得所述第一隔离结构106作用所述第一鳍部101产生压应力,所述第二隔离结构107作用所述第二鳍部102产生拉应力。In this embodiment, the first fin 101 is used to form a PMOS transistor structure, and the second fin 102 is used to form an NMOS transistor structure. Since the PMOS transistor structure and the NMOS transistor structure have different stress requirements on the fin, the PMOS transistor structure requires the first fin 101 to provide compressive stress, and the compressive stress is generated by the first isolation structure 106 acting on the first fin 101, while the NMOS transistor structure requires the second fin 102 to provide tensile stress, and the tensile stress is generated by the second isolation structure 107 acting on the second fin 102. Since tensile stress and compressive stress are two different types of stress, the corresponding structural forms of the first isolation structure 106 and the second isolation structure 107 will also be different. In this embodiment, by setting the depths of the first opening and the second opening differently, the first isolation structure 106 and the second isolation structure 107 of different structural forms are formed, and the first isolation structure 106 acts on the first fin 101 to generate compressive stress, and the second isolation structure 107 acts on the second fin 102 to generate tensile stress.

然而,由于所述第一开口和所述第二开口的深度不同,因此若要形成不同深度的所述第一开口和所述第二开口通常需要两次光罩掩膜分步制作,这样不但会增加光罩数量,提升制作成本,另外,分步形成所述第一开口和所述第一开口还会降低生产效率。However, since the depths of the first opening and the second opening are different, forming the first opening and the second opening of different depths usually requires two step-by-step production of photomasks. This not only increases the number of masks and increases production costs, but also reduces production efficiency by forming the first opening and the second opening in steps.

在此基础上,本发明提供一种半导体结构的形成方法,通过在所述第一开口和所述第二开口内形成隔离结构,能够有效的防止所述第一鳍部内形成的第一源漏掺杂层之间发生的短接、以及所述第二鳍部内形成的第二源漏掺杂层之间发生短接的问题,起到隔离效果。另外,所述第一图形化层内具有暴露出位于所述第一区上的第一栅极结构顶部表面的第一图形化开口,以所述第一图形化层为掩膜,采用第一刻蚀工艺去除位于所述隔离区的第一区和第二区上的所述第一栅极结构,在所述介质层内形成第一开口;继续以所述第一图形化层为掩膜,采用第二刻蚀工艺刻蚀所述第一鳍部,在所述第一鳍部内形成第二开口,所述第一开口暴露出所述第二开口。所述第一开口与所述第二开口的形成均以所述第一图形化层为掩膜,有效减少了光罩掩膜,节约了制作成本,同时也提升了制程效率。On this basis, the present invention provides a method for forming a semiconductor structure. By forming an isolation structure in the first opening and the second opening, it is possible to effectively prevent the short circuit between the first source-drain doped layer formed in the first fin and the short circuit between the second source-drain doped layer formed in the second fin, thereby achieving an isolation effect. In addition, the first patterned layer has a first patterned opening that exposes the top surface of the first gate structure located on the first region. The first patterned layer is used as a mask, and a first etching process is used to remove the first gate structure located on the first region and the second region of the isolation region, forming a first opening in the dielectric layer; the first patterned layer is continued to be used as a mask, and a second etching process is used to etch the first fin, forming a second opening in the first fin, and the first opening exposes the second opening. The first opening and the second opening are both formed using the first patterned layer as a mask, which effectively reduces the photomask, saves the manufacturing cost, and also improves the process efficiency.

The parameters of the wet etching process include: the etching solution is a mixed solution of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, and the temperature of the etching solution is 80° C. to 180° C.

请参考图22,以所述第一图形化层为掩膜,采用第二刻蚀工艺刻蚀所述第一鳍部201,在所述第一鳍部201内形成第二开口215。Referring to FIG. 22 , the first patterned layer is used as a mask and a second etching process is adopted to etch the first fin 201 , so as to form a second opening 215 in the first fin 201 .

在本实施例中,所述第二刻蚀工艺采用各向异性刻蚀工艺,所述各向异性刻蚀工艺包括干法刻蚀工艺,所述干法刻蚀工艺的参数包括:刻蚀气体包括溴化氢、氯气和氧气。In this embodiment, the second etching process adopts an anisotropic etching process, and the anisotropic etching process includes a dry etching process. The parameters of the dry etching process include: the etching gas includes hydrogen bromide, chlorine and oxygen.

由于所述第一图形化层暴露出位于所述第一区I上的第一栅极结构210顶部表面,以所述第一图形化层为掩膜,采用第一刻蚀工艺去除位于所述隔离区B1的第一区I和第二区II上的所述第一栅极结构210,在所述介质层209内形成第一开口214;继续以所述第一图形化层为掩膜,采用第二刻蚀工艺刻蚀所述第一鳍部201,在所述第一鳍部201内形成第二开口215。所述第一开口214与所述第二开口215的形成均以所述第一图形化层为掩膜,有效减少了光罩掩膜,节约了制作成本,同时也提升了制程效率。Since the first patterned layer exposes the top surface of the first gate structure 210 located on the first region I, the first patterned layer is used as a mask, and the first etching process is adopted to remove the first gate structure 210 located on the first region I and the second region II of the isolation region B1, and a first opening 214 is formed in the dielectric layer 209; the first patterned layer is continued to be used as a mask, and the first fin 201 is etched by a second etching process, and a second opening 215 is formed in the first fin 201. The first opening 214 and the second opening 215 are both formed by using the first patterned layer as a mask, which effectively reduces the number of photomasks, saves the manufacturing cost, and also improves the process efficiency.

请参考图23和图24,在形成所述第一开口214和所述第二开口215之后,去除所述第一图形化层;在所述第一开口214和所述第二开口215内形成隔离结构216。Please refer to FIG. 23 and FIG. 24 .
