[0060] Conventional MOSFET sidewall is to deposit SiO2 and Si3N4 or both combination, and sidewall process of the present invention is: the present invention can deposit a SiO2 layer on grid gate and semiconductor silicon plate, and, in deposition process SiO2 The layer is doped with carbon to form a SiO2 layer with a lower dielectric constant, and the redundant SiO2 layer with a lower dielectric constant is etched away to form a SiO2 layer such as figure 1 shown by the low-k gate spacer 103 or image 3 The low-k gate spacer shown in 1. In another embodiment of the present invention, a SiO2 and Si3N4 layer is deposited on the gate and the semiconductor silicon plate, and the SiO2 and Si3N4 layers are carbon-doped during the deposition process, thereby forming SiO2 and Si3N4 with a lower dielectric constant layer, etch to remove excess low dielectric constant SiO2 and Si3N4 layers, thus forming such as figure 1 shown in the gate spacer 103 or image 3 Gate spacers shown in 1...

[0063] Step 3 may specifically include the following steps:

[0064] Step 31: Depositing and forming an inner layer of a carbon-doped low-K dielectric layer with a microporous structure on the gate and the semiconductor substrate, and using a self-aligned etching process to form the inner layer into a first sidewall layer;

[0065] Step 32: Deposit an outer layer made of SiO2, Si3N4 or a combination thereof on the first sidewall layer, and use a self-aligned etching process to form the outer layer into a second sidewall layer.

[0066] From the above steps 31 and 32, it can be seen that the low-K sidewalls for reducing MOSFET coupling interference use two layers of sidewalls inside and outside, that is, Carbon Doped Oxide (Carbon Doped Oxide) with a microporous structure with an ultra-low dielectric constant (ULK). , referred to as CDO) as the inner layer of the sidewall (for example, k is 2.5); and, in order to make the sidewall achieve a certain physical strength and make th...

Abstract

The invention provides a sidewall preparation method for reducing the coupling interference of a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). The method comprises the following steps of: forming a gate oxide layer on a semiconductor substrate; preparing a gate on the gate oxide layer; depositing low-K dielectric materials on the gate and the semiconductor substrate; and performing carbon doping in the deposition process to form a low-K dielectric layer made of a carbon-containing material. The preparation method has the advantages that: by carbon doping in the deposition process of a sidewall material, the dielectric constant of the sidewall material is greatly decreased, so that the influence of fringe electric fields of a source and a drain of a high-K thick-gate MOSFET on a channel effect through capacitance coupling of a sidewall can be reduced, a short channel effect of a high-K thick-gate dielectric layer MOSFET is effectively inhibited, the performance of a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device is improved, and the method is simple and convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, CMOS for short) device structural unit and a preparation method of a sidewall process for reducing MOSFET coupling interference. Background technique [0002] After decades of rapid development since the invention of the first transistor, the horizontal and vertical dimensions of transistors have shrunk rapidly. According to the prediction of International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) in 2004, the feature size of transistors will reach 7nm by 2018. The continuous shrinking of the size has continuously improved the performance (speed) of the transistor, and also enabled us to integrate more devices on the chip of the same area. The function of the integrated circuit has become stronger and stronger, and the cost per unit function has also been reduced. [0003...
