背景技术Background Art
随着晶体管特征尺寸的不断微缩,传统的MOSFET器件经历了由平面结构到三维结构的转变,提升器件性能的同时降低短沟道效应带来的影响。目前,GAA stackednanosheet FET的研究进展受到了学术界和产业界的广泛关注,不断更新的制备流程和关键工艺,以及优化后的器件结构是新型CMOS器件的热门研究方向,被认为是3nm节点之后的主流器件。As transistor feature sizes continue to shrink, traditional MOSFET devices have undergone a transformation from a planar structure to a three-dimensional structure, improving device performance while reducing the impact of short channel effects. Currently, the research progress of GAA stacked nanosheet FETs has received widespread attention from academia and industry. The constantly updated preparation process and key processes, as well as the optimized device structure are hot research directions for new CMOS devices, and are considered to be mainstream devices after the 3nm node.
GAA stacked nanosheet FET是在FinFET和Nanowire-FET的基础上发展而来的一种具有环栅结构和水平纳米片(NS)作为导电沟道的新型器件。在栅极控制方面,环栅结构具有比FinFET器件结构更好的栅控能力,可以有效抑制器件的短沟道效应;在电流驱动方面,Nanosheet-GAAFET具有有效栅可调和垂直水平方向的堆叠设计也可显著增强器件的电流驱动性能。GAA stacked nanosheet FET is a new device developed on the basis of FinFET and Nanowire-FET, with a ring gate structure and horizontal nanosheet (NS) as a conductive channel. In terms of gate control, the ring gate structure has better gate control capability than the FinFET device structure, which can effectively suppress the short channel effect of the device; in terms of current drive, Nanosheet-GAAFET has an effective gate adjustable and vertical and horizontal stacking design, which can also significantly enhance the current drive performance of the device.
但是,常规堆叠纳米片GAA-FET的环栅堆叠纳米器件(GAA)的源区和漏区存在大量缺陷,导致源区和漏区难以向沟道区提供应力,从而不利于提升沟道区内的载流子迁移率,导致环栅晶体管的工作性能不佳。However, there are a large number of defects in the source and drain regions of the gate-all-around stacked nanodevice (GAA) of the conventional stacked nanosheet GAA-FET, which makes it difficult for the source and drain regions to provide stress to the channel region, which is not conducive to improving the carrier mobility in the channel region, resulting in poor working performance of the gate-all-around transistor.
鉴于此,特提出本发明。In view of this, the present invention is proposed.

以下对制备方法进行更为详细的说明:The preparation method is described in more detail below:
在步骤S1中,如图1所示,首先在衬底1上通过外延的方式依次生长牺牲层2和沟道层3,其中,衬底1一般采用硅衬底1,牺牲层2一般采用SiGe,沟道层3一般采用Si,牺牲层2和沟道层3为超晶格结构,Si层决定了后续纳米线根数,Si层≥1,每层均在30nm以下,最终生产出的厚度直接决定纳米片通道的高度以及电学性能。In step S1, as shown in FIG1, a sacrificial layer 2 and a channel layer 3 are first grown in sequence on a substrate 1 by epitaxy, wherein the substrate 1 is generally a silicon substrate 1, the sacrificial layer 2 is generally SiGe, and the channel layer 3 is generally Si. The sacrificial layer 2 and the channel layer 3 are a superlattice structure, and the Si layer determines the number of subsequent nanowires. The Si layer is ≥1, and each layer is less than 30 nm. The final thickness directly determines the height of the nanosheet channel and the electrical properties.
在上述基础上,如图2-3所示,进一步,将牺牲层2和沟道层3构成多个周期分布的鳍片。具体地,在最顶层的沟道层3的上方沉积硬掩膜层,图形化后,通过刻蚀工艺将外延生长的超晶格叠层做成多个周期分布的鳍片,鳍片的高度为10nm-400nm,宽度为1-100nm,刻蚀停止在衬底1,或者低于衬底1。On the basis of the above, as shown in FIG2-3, the sacrificial layer 2 and the channel layer 3 are further formed into a plurality of periodically distributed fins. Specifically, a hard mask layer is deposited above the topmost channel layer 3, and after patterning, the epitaxially grown superlattice stack is made into a plurality of periodically distributed fins through an etching process, the height of the fins is 10nm-400nm, the width is 1-100nm, and the etching stops at the substrate 1, or below the substrate 1.
在上述基础上,如图4所示,在相邻的两个鳍之间形成浅槽隔离区4(shallowtrench isolation,STI)。具体地,首先使用绝缘介电材料进行沉积,并进行平坦化,露出硬掩膜层后通过湿法或干法刻蚀去除硬掩膜层,然后对绝缘介电材料进行选择性回刻,露出三维的鳍片结构,相邻鳍片之间形成浅槽隔离区4。其中,浅槽隔离区4其上表面一般和鳍片中超晶格叠层结构与衬底1单晶硅的界面齐平,也可高于或低于该界面水平线。On the basis of the above, as shown in FIG4 , a shallow trench isolation region 4 (STI) is formed between two adjacent fins. Specifically, an insulating dielectric material is first deposited and planarized, and after the hard mask layer is exposed, the hard mask layer is removed by wet or dry etching, and then the insulating dielectric material is selectively etched back to expose the three-dimensional fin structure, and a shallow trench isolation region 4 is formed between adjacent fins. The upper surface of the shallow trench isolation region 4 is generally flush with the interface between the superlattice stacked structure in the fin and the single crystal silicon of the substrate 1, and may also be higher or lower than the interface level.
在步骤S2中,如图5-6所示,在露出的鳍片表面,依次形成假栅层5和假栅硬掩膜层6。具体地,在浅槽隔离区4的上方依次沉积氧化层、多晶硅(或非晶硅),并进行CMP,然后沉积假栅硬掩膜层6;然后,如图7所示,通过光刻和刻蚀图形化工艺形成跨鳍片的假栅结构,刻蚀后,保留假栅结构上方的假栅硬掩膜层6。In step S2, as shown in FIGS. 5-6, a dummy gate layer 5 and a dummy gate hard mask layer 6 are sequentially formed on the exposed fin surface. Specifically, an oxide layer and polysilicon (or amorphous silicon) are sequentially deposited above the shallow trench isolation region 4, and CMP is performed, and then a dummy gate hard mask layer 6 is deposited; then, as shown in FIG. 7, a dummy gate structure across the fin is formed by photolithography and etching patterning processes, and after etching, the dummy gate hard mask layer 6 above the dummy gate structure is retained.
其中,假栅硬掩膜层6的材料可以为氧化物、碳化物、碳化物、有机物等。The material of the dummy gate hard mask layer 6 may be oxide, carbide, carbide, organic matter, etc.
在步骤S3中,如图8-9所示,在假栅结构的两侧沉积第一侧墙介质,然后刻蚀水平方向的侧墙介质,仅保留假栅和硬掩膜层侧壁的介质,形成第一侧墙7;然后,在图10的基础上,参照图11,采用硬掩膜层4和第一侧墙7作为掩膜,通过刻蚀工艺对鳍片进行源/漏刻蚀,在第一侧墙7两侧形成用于制备源/漏极12的源/漏区,并在源/漏极12的中心方向采用pull-back刻蚀的方法刻蚀掉SiGe牺牲层2的边缘部分,形成内嵌的凹槽8,其中,凹槽8的深度为4-20nm,并优选为5nm(图12)。In step S3, as shown in Figures 8-9, a first sidewall dielectric is deposited on both sides of the dummy gate structure, and then the sidewall dielectric in the horizontal direction is etched, leaving only the dielectric on the sidewalls of the dummy gate and the hard mask layer to form a first sidewall 7; then, based on Figure 10, referring to Figure 11, the hard mask layer 4 and the first sidewall 7 are used as masks, and the fin is etched for source/drain through an etching process to form source/drain regions for preparing source/drain electrodes 12 on both sides of the first sidewall 7, and the edge portion of the SiGe sacrificial layer 2 is etched away in the center direction of the source/drain electrode 12 by a pull-back etching method to form an embedded groove 8, wherein the depth of the groove 8 is 4-20nm, and preferably 5nm (Figure 12).
其中,第一侧墙介质的材料可以为氮化硅、氮掺杂氧化硅、氮掺杂碳化硅等介质。而刻蚀时,基于牺牲层2和沟道层3具有较大的刻蚀选择比,因此可以保证沟道层3的完整性。The material of the first spacer dielectric may be silicon nitride, nitrogen-doped silicon oxide, nitrogen-doped silicon carbide, etc. During etching, the integrity of the channel layer 3 can be ensured because the sacrificial layer 2 and the channel layer 3 have a large etching selectivity.
在步骤S4中,如图13所示,沉积第二侧墙介质,使第二侧墙介质覆盖整个表面并充满内嵌的凹槽8,形成第二侧墙9;进而,在图13的基础上,参照图14,在第二侧墙9的表面沉积内侧墙牺牲层10,例如碳、多晶硅和聚酰亚胺等牺牲层,这些材质的牺牲层可通过刻蚀或者化学溶液等方法被去除,从而释放所需的结构;在图14的基础上,参照图15,刻蚀内侧墙牺牲层10,使其与第二侧墙介质齐平;如图16所示,对第二侧墙9进行精确各向同性刻蚀,且刻蚀深度不超过内侧墙牺牲层10深度;最后,如图17所示,去除内侧墙牺牲层10,保留牺牲层2两侧的第二侧墙介质,即形成内侧墙11,其中,内侧墙11的厚度,即第二侧墙9的厚度为0.5-2nm。In step S4, as shown in FIG13, a second sidewall dielectric is deposited so that the second sidewall dielectric covers the entire surface and fills the embedded groove 8 to form a second sidewall 9; further, based on FIG13, referring to FIG14, an inner sidewall sacrificial layer 10 is deposited on the surface of the second sidewall 9, such as a sacrificial layer of carbon, polysilicon and polyimide, and the sacrificial layers of these materials can be removed by etching or chemical solutions, thereby releasing the required structure; based on FIG14, referring to FIG15, the inner sidewall sacrificial layer 10 is etched to be flush with the second sidewall dielectric; as shown in FIG16, the second sidewall 9 is precisely isotropically etched, and the etching depth does not exceed the depth of the inner sidewall sacrificial layer 10; finally, as shown in FIG17, the inner sidewall sacrificial layer 10 is removed, and the second sidewall dielectric on both sides of the sacrificial layer 2 is retained, i.e., an inner sidewall 11 is formed, wherein the thickness of the inner sidewall 11, i.e., the thickness of the second sidewall 9 is 0.5-2nm.
其中,第二侧墙介质的材料均可以为SiOCN(碳氮氧化硅)、SiOC(碳氧硅)、SiON(氮氧化硅),NDC(氮掺杂碳化硅)或其他介质。The material of the second sidewall dielectric may be SiOCN (silicon oxycarbon nitride), SiOC (silicon oxygen carbon), SiON (silicon oxynitride), NDC (nitrogen-doped silicon carbide) or other dielectrics.
在步骤S5中,如图18-19所示,首先,在第一侧墙7下方的鳍片侧壁进行选择性Si外延,然后,采用假栅硬掩模层4和第一侧墙7作为掩模,对鳍片进行源/漏刻蚀,使鳍片与第一侧墙7对齐。In step S5 , as shown in FIGS. 18-19 , first, selective Si epitaxy is performed on the fin sidewall below the first sidewall 7 , and then, the fin is etched for source/drain using the dummy gate hard mask layer 4 and the first sidewall 7 as masks to align the fin with the first sidewall 7 .
其中,在进行选择性Si外延时,可根据要求进行原位掺杂,以通过掺杂扩散形成陡峭、分布均匀且横向结深精确可控的Si外延区,由此控制沟道的有效长度,避免由于Si外延区掺杂不当而导致的短沟道效应,提高器件的性能和可靠性。Among them, when performing selective Si epitaxy, in-situ doping can be performed as required to form a steep, evenly distributed Si epitaxial region with a precisely controllable lateral junction depth through doping diffusion, thereby controlling the effective length of the channel, avoiding the short channel effect caused by improper doping of the Si epitaxial region, and improving the performance and reliability of the device.
在步骤S6中,参照图20,采用金属有机化学气相沉积、分子束外延、液相外延、气相外延、选择性外延成长等类似方法或前述的组合形式进行外延生长源/漏极12,同时对源/漏极12进行掺杂,对于P型FET,源/漏极12材料为硼掺杂SiGe(SiGe:B),对于N型FET,源/漏极12材料为磷掺杂硅(Si:P)。In step S6, referring to FIG. 20, the source/drain 12 is epitaxially grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, liquid phase epitaxy, vapor phase epitaxy, selective epitaxial growth or the like, or a combination of the foregoing, and the source/drain 12 is doped at the same time. For P-type FET, the source/drain 12 material is boron-doped SiGe (SiGe:B), and for N-type FET, the source/drain 12 material is phosphorus-doped silicon (Si:P).
由此可见,本发明的内侧墙11通过第二侧墙介质覆盖整个表面并充满内嵌的凹槽8,形成第二侧墙9,进而在第二侧墙9的表面沉积内侧墙牺牲层10,并刻蚀掉部分内侧墙牺牲层10,使其与第二侧墙介质齐平,进而对第二侧墙9进行各向同性刻蚀,刻蚀停止在内侧墙牺牲层10的深度处,最后去除内侧墙牺牲层10,即可在牺牲层的两侧形成内侧墙11。该内侧墙11的制备方法,可以有效减小内侧墙11的厚度,并精确控制内侧墙11的厚度。此外,本发明在内侧墙11的凹陷处进行选择性Si外延,由此可形成连续的Si层,当SiGe牺牲层2释放时,即使超薄的内侧墙11局部有损伤,也不会对源/漏极12的GeSi外延层造成损伤,因此,该方法显著提高了源区和漏区的形成质量,并利于源区和漏区向沟道区提供应力,显著提高了环栅堆叠纳米器件的可靠性。It can be seen that the inner sidewall 11 of the present invention is covered with the entire surface by the second sidewall dielectric and filled with the embedded groove 8 to form the second sidewall 9, and then the inner sidewall sacrificial layer 10 is deposited on the surface of the second sidewall 9, and part of the inner sidewall sacrificial layer 10 is etched away to make it flush with the second sidewall dielectric, and then the second sidewall 9 is isotropically etched, and the etching stops at the depth of the inner sidewall sacrificial layer 10, and finally the inner sidewall sacrificial layer 10 is removed, and the inner sidewall 11 can be formed on both sides of the sacrificial layer. The preparation method of the inner sidewall 11 can effectively reduce the thickness of the inner sidewall 11 and accurately control the thickness of the inner sidewall 11. In addition, the present invention performs selective Si epitaxy in the recessed part of the inner side wall 11, thereby forming a continuous Si layer. When the SiGe sacrificial layer 2 is released, even if the ultra-thin inner side wall 11 is partially damaged, it will not cause damage to the GeSi epitaxial layer of the source/drain 12. Therefore, this method significantly improves the formation quality of the source and drain regions, and facilitates the source and drain regions to provide stress to the channel region, thereby significantly improving the reliability of the ring-gate stacked nanodevice.
步骤S7中,在形成源/漏极12之后,如图21所示,在源/漏极12上沉积隔离层介质,并对隔离层介质进行化学机械拋光,使其平坦化,得到隔离层13,进一步去除假栅硬掩膜层6,露出假栅层5。In step S7, after forming the source/drain 12, as shown in Figure 21, an isolation layer dielectric is deposited on the source/drain 12, and the isolation layer dielectric is chemically mechanically polished to make it flat to obtain an isolation layer 13, and the dummy gate hard mask layer 6 is further removed to expose the dummy gate layer 5.
步骤S8中,在上述基础上,进一步,如图22所示,通过选择性刻蚀或者腐蚀工艺,将前述的多晶硅(p-Si)或非晶硅(a-Si)形成的假栅层5刻蚀掉。In step S8, based on the above, further, as shown in FIG. 22, the dummy gate layer 5 formed of the polycrystalline silicon (p-Si) or amorphous silicon (a-Si) is etched away by a selective etching or corrosion process.
步骤S9中,在上述基础上,进一步,如图23-24所示,选择性刻蚀超晶格叠层中的牺牲层2,进行纳米片沟道的释放。In step S9, based on the above, further, as shown in FIGS. 23-24 , the sacrificial layer 2 in the superlattice stack is selectively etched to release the nanosheet channel.
步骤S10中,在上述基础上,进一步,如图25-26所示,依次沉积高K金属栅,并进行CMP,进而形成环绕所述纳米片沟道的金属栅14。In step S10, based on the above, further, as shown in FIGS. 25-26, high-K metal gates are sequentially deposited and CMP is performed to form a metal gate 14 surrounding the nanosheet channel.
步骤S11中,在上述基础上,进一步,如图27所示,在顶部继续沉积隔离层介质,并进行介质CMP,然后进行接触孔光刻与刻蚀,沉积硅化物,在接触孔中形成导电通道15。In step S11, based on the above, further, as shown in FIG. 27, an isolation layer dielectric is deposited on the top, and dielectric CMP is performed, and then contact hole lithography and etching are performed, silicide is deposited, and a conductive channel 15 is formed in the contact hole.
步骤S9-S11中,具体地,纳米片沟道位于衬底1的上方,金属栅14环绕纳米片沟道,源/漏极12与纳米片沟道连接,隔离层13位于源/漏极12的上方;而导电通道15设于隔离层13的内部。In steps S9-S11, specifically, the nanosheet channel is located above the substrate 1, the metal gate 14 surrounds the nanosheet channel, the source/drain 12 is connected to the nanosheet channel, the isolation layer 13 is located above the source/drain 12; and the conductive channel 15 is arranged inside the isolation layer 13.
实施例2Example 2
如图27所示,本实施例提供了一种环栅堆叠纳米器件,具体包括衬底1、纳米片沟道、金属栅14、源/漏极12、Si外延区和内侧墙11,其中,纳米片沟道位于衬底1的上方,金属栅14环绕纳米片沟道设置,源/漏极12与纳米片沟道连接,Si外延区和内侧墙11设置在源/漏极12与金属栅14之间,且Si外延区靠近源/漏极12。As shown in Figure 27, this embodiment provides a ring-gate stacked nanodevice, specifically including a substrate 1, a nanosheet channel, a metal gate 14, a source/drain 12, a Si epitaxial region and an inner sidewall 11, wherein the nanosheet channel is located above the substrate 1, the metal gate 14 is arranged around the nanosheet channel, the source/drain 12 is connected to the nanosheet channel, the Si epitaxial region and the inner sidewall 11 are arranged between the source/drain 12 and the metal gate 14, and the Si epitaxial region is close to the source/drain 12.
本发明在内侧墙11的凹陷处进行选择性Si外延,由此形成的连续的Si层作为Si外延区,当SiGe牺牲层释放时,即使超薄的内侧墙11局部有损伤,也不会对源/漏极12的GeSi外延层造成损伤,显著提高了环栅堆叠纳米器件的可靠性。The present invention performs selective Si epitaxy at the recessed portion of the inner sidewall 11, and the continuous Si layer thus formed serves as a Si epitaxial region. When the SiGe sacrificial layer is released, even if the ultra-thin inner sidewall 11 is partially damaged, the GeSi epitaxial layer of the source/drain 12 will not be damaged, thereby significantly improving the reliability of the ring-gate stacked nanodevice.
具体地,在对第一侧墙7下方鳍片的侧壁进行选择性Si外延时,可根据要求进行原位掺杂,以通过掺杂扩散形成陡峭、分布均匀且横向结深精确可控的Si外延区,由此控制沟道的有效长度,避免由于Si外延区掺杂不当而导致的短沟道效应,提高器件的性能和可靠性。因此,Si外延区的材质优选为原位掺杂的硅。Specifically, when selective Si epitaxy is performed on the sidewalls of the fins below the first sidewall 7, in-situ doping can be performed as required to form a steep, uniformly distributed Si epitaxial region with a precisely controllable lateral junction depth through doping diffusion, thereby controlling the effective length of the channel, avoiding the short channel effect caused by improper doping of the Si epitaxial region, and improving the performance and reliability of the device. Therefore, the material of the Si epitaxial region is preferably in-situ doped silicon.
