Problems solved by technology

[0003] With the advancement of semiconductor manufacturing technology, the size of metal oxide semiconductor devices is also decreasing, and the GIDL effect is more serious, especially for high threshold voltage metal oxide semiconductor devices. The GIDL effect is more obvious. By adjusting the metal oxide semiconductor device In the LDD process of the manufacturing process, although the formation of a shallow junction LDD doped region can improve the GIDL effect to a certain extent, it will cause a PN junction between the LDD doped region and the pocket doped region (Pocketimplant) in the semiconductor substrate. leakage current

Embodiment Construction

[0023] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The invention provides a method for reducing the GIDL of an NMOS device. The LDD doped region of the NMOS device is formed by performing two or more lightly doped ion implantation processes, and as the number of times increases, the depth of the implantation increases. The concentration decreases; or as the number of times increases, the depth of implantation gradually decreases and the concentration increases; through the implantation of lightly doped ions with a higher concentration and a shallower depth, the underside of the gate caused by the gate bias voltage is reduced. The size of the depletion layer in the LDD region to improve the GIDL effect, and to reduce the concentration gradient of impurity ions between the formed LDD doped region and the pocket doped region by implanting lightly doped ions with a lower concentration an...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for reducing gate induced drain leakage in NMOS devices. The lightly doped drain injection technology of the NMOS devices includes the following steps: a primary N type lightly doped ion implantation is carried out in primary energy and primary dosage; a secondary N type lightly doped ion implantation is carried out in secondary energy and secondary dosage; wherein, the foreign ion injected in the primary lightly doped ion implantation and the foreign ion injected in the secondary lightly doped ion implantation are elements in the same group, and the diffusion coefficient of the foreign ion injected in the secondary ion implantation is larger than or equal to that of the foreign ion injected in the primary ion implantation; and the energy value of the secondary energy is larger than that of the primary energy and the dosage value of the secondary dosage is smaller than that of the primary dosage. The invention can improve gate induced drain leakage current effect of the NMOS devices without inducing leakage current of PN junction between NLDD doped region and pocket doped region.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a method for reducing gate-induced drain leakage (Gate Induced Drain Leakage, GIDL) of an N-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) device. Background technique [0002] Metal-oxide-semiconductor devices are widely used due to their advantages such as low power consumption and fast response. A typical MOS device includes a gate, a source, and a drain. In order to avoid or suppress the leakage current between the source and the drain caused by the shortening of the conductive channel length, the industry introduces a lightly doped drain when manufacturing metal oxide semiconductor devices. A Light Doped Drain (LDD) implantation process is used to form an LDD doped region in a MOS device. For example, in the Chinese patent application document with publication number CN 1143830A, a method for manufacturing a MOS transistor with an LDD structure is disclosed. [0...
