Embodiment Construction

[0032] There are many problems in the formation method of the semiconductor structure, for example: the formation method is not easy to precisely control the threshold voltage of the semiconductor structure.

[0033] In combination with a method for forming a semiconductor structure, the reason why the formation method is not easy to precisely control the threshold voltage of the semiconductor structure is analyzed:

[0034] Figure 1 to Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of each step of a method for forming a semiconductor structure.

[0035] Please refer to figure 1 1. A substrate 100 is provided, the substrate 100 has a dielectric layer 102 thereon, the dielectric layer 102 has openings 110 therein, and the substrate 100 on both sides of the opening 110 has source-drain doped regions 101 .

[0036] continue to refer figure 1 , forming a gate dielectric layer 111 on the bottom and sidewall surfaces of the opening 110 ; forming a cover layer 112 on the surface ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same, wherein the forming method includes: providing a substrate; forming a gate dielectric layer on the substrate; forming a cover layer on the surface of the gate dielectric layer, and the cover layer is a metal or a metal compound; forming a sacrificial layer on the cover layer, the sacrificial layer being a metal or a metal compound; after the sacrificial layer is formed, annealing the cover layer; after the annealing process, removing the sacrificial layer; After removing the sacrificial layer, a work function layer is formed on the capping layer; a gate is formed on the work function layer. During the annealing process, it is not easy for the barrier layer and the capping layer to form by-products that affect the work function of the capping layer on the contact surface of the sacrificial layer and the capping layer, so that it is not easy to affect the performance of the formed semiconductor structure. threshold voltage. Therefore, the formation method can improve the performance of the formed semiconductor structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a semiconductor structure and a forming method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the continuous progress of semiconductor technology, the integration level of semiconductor devices has been continuously improved, which requires that more transistors can be formed on a chip. [0003] Threshold voltage is an important parameter of transistors, which has a great influence on the performance of transistors. Transistors with different functions often have different requirements on threshold voltages. During the process of forming different transistors, the threshold voltages of different transistors need to be adjusted. In order to adjust the threshold voltages of different transistors, a work function layer is often formed on the gate dielectric layer of the transistors. Transistors can have different threshold voltages by selecting the thickness and m...
