In the following description, many specific details are provided to provide a full understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions of the present disclosure may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, materials, etc. may be adopted. In other cases, known structures, materials or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid blurring the main technical ideas of the present disclosure.
[0046] The terms "a", "an", "the" are used to indicate the presence of one or more elements / components / etc.; the terms "including" and "having" are used to indicate an open-ended inclusive meaning and mean that there may be additional elements / components / etc. in addition to the listed elements / components / etc. The terms "first" and "second" etc. are used only as labels and are not intended to limit the quantity of their objects.
[0047] In the related art, when forming the gate insulating layer of the recessed channel array transistor, the thickness of the gate insulating layer at the bottom of the groove channel (the part away from the groove opening of the groove channel) is greater than the thickness of the gate insulating layer at the top of the groove channel (the part close to the groove opening of the groove channel) due to the influence of the preparation process. Under the influence of the uneven thickness of the gate insulating layer and the curvature effect, the threshold voltage of the recessed channel array transistor at the bottom of the groove channel is greater than the threshold voltage at the top of the groove channel, which seriously affects the performance of the recessed channel array transistor.
[0048] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a recessed channel array transistor is provided, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the recessed channel array transistor includes an active region 200 and a gate structure; wherein,
[0049] The active area 200 is provided with a groove channel 210; the gate structure includes a gate 300 and a gate insulating layer 500, the gate 300 and the gate insulating layer 500 are filled in the groove channel 210, and the gate insulating layer 500 isolates the active area 200 and the gate 300; the gate insulating layer 500 includes a first gate insulating layer 510 and a second gate insulating layer 520, the first gate insulating layer 510 is arranged on a side of the second gate insulating layer 520 close to the notch 212 of the groove channel, and the second gate insulating layer 520 is arranged on a side of the first gate insulating layer 510 away from the notch 212 of the groove channel; the dielectric constant of the first gate insulating layer 510 is smaller than the dielectric constant of the second gate insulating layer 520.
[0050] In the recessed channel array transistor disclosed in the present invention, the thickness of the second gate insulating layer 520 will be greater than the thickness of the first gate insulating layer 510 due to the influence of the preparation process; therefore, under the influence of the curvature effect and the uneven thickness of the gate insulating layer 500, the recessed channel array transistor presents a trend that the threshold voltage at the bottom 211 of the groove channel is greater than the threshold voltage at the sidewall of the groove channel. However, the dielectric constant of the first gate insulating layer 510 is less than the dielectric constant of the second gate insulating layer 520, which will cause the recessed channel array transistor to present a trend that the threshold voltage at the sidewall of the groove channel is greater than the threshold voltage at the bottom 211 of the groove channel. Therefore, the larger dielectric constant of the second gate insulating layer 520 offsets the influence of the larger thickness of the second gate insulating layer 520, so that the difference between the threshold voltage at the bottom 211 of the groove channel and the threshold voltage at the sidewall of the groove channel of the recessed channel array transistor is reduced or eliminated, thereby improving the uniformity of the threshold voltage of the recessed channel array transistor at various positions of the groove channel 210, and improving the performance of the recessed channel array transistor.
[0051] The components of the recessed channel array transistor provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the recessed channel array transistor may be disposed on a substrate 100. Figure 1 As shown, the active region 200 is disposed on one side of the substrate 100 .
[0053] Optionally, the active area 200 may include a well area 220 and a source-drain area, wherein the source-drain area includes a source layer 410 and a drain layer 420, wherein the well area 220 is arranged on one side of the substrate 100, and the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420 are arranged on a side of the well area 220 away from the substrate 100; the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420 are arranged on both sides of the groove channel 210.
[0054] The well region 220, the source layer 410, and the drain layer 420 may be doped semiconductors, and the doping types are different. For example, in one embodiment, the well region 220 is a semiconductor layer with P-type doped ions, that is, the well region 220 is a P-type doped semiconductor layer; the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420 are semiconductor layers with N-type heavily doped ions, that is, the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420 are N-type heavily doped regions. In another embodiment, the well region 220 is an N-type doped semiconductor layer; the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420 are P-type heavily doped regions.
[0055] The gate 300 is a conductive material, which can be metal, conductive metal oxide, conductive metal nitride or other conductive materials. In one embodiment, the material of the gate 300 includes one or more of tungsten, molybdenum, silver, aluminum, gold, copper and titanium.
[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, the gate insulating layer 500 may completely cover the surface of the sidewall 213 of the groove channel to completely isolate the active area 200 and the gate 300. That is, the first gate insulating layer 510 and the second gate insulating layer 520 may be complementary in shape.
[0057] The material of the first gate insulating layer 510 may be an organic insulating material or an inorganic insulating material, which is not particularly limited in the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the material of the first gate insulating layer 510 may be silicon oxide.
[0058] The dielectric constant of the second gate insulating layer 520 is greater than the dielectric constant of the first gate insulating layer 510. Optionally, the material of the second gate insulating layer 520 may be a high dielectric constant material. In one embodiment, the dielectric constant of the material of the second gate insulating layer 520 is greater than 4. For example, the material of the second gate insulating layer 520 may include one or more of silicon oxynitride (SiON), silicon nitride (SiN), and hafnium oxide (HfO2).
[0059] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the thickness of one end of the first gate insulating layer 510 close to the second gate insulating layer 520 is equal to the thickness of one end of the second gate insulating layer 520 close to the first gate insulating layer 510. In this way, the surface between the first gate insulating layer 510 and the second gate insulating layer 520 is smoothly transitioned, avoiding the gate 300 from having a sudden size change at the junction of the first gate insulating layer 510 and the second gate insulating layer 520, and ensuring the stability of the electric field on the surface of the gate 300.
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, in the cross section perpendicular to the extension direction of the groove channel 210, the length of the second gate insulating layer 520: the length of the gate insulating layer 500 = 0.4 to 0.8, so that the recessed channel array transistor can fully overcome the influence of the curvature effect of the bottom 211 of the groove channel, and improve the uniformity of the threshold voltage of the recessed channel array transistor at each position of the groove channel 210. It can be understood that, as Figure 2As shown, the groove channel 210 includes three opening ends, namely the first opening end, the second opening end and the third opening end, wherein the second opening end opposite to the bottom 211 of the groove channel is the notch 212 of the groove channel, and the first opening end and the third opening end are both connected to the bottom 211 of the groove channel and the notch 212 of the groove channel. The extension direction of the groove channel 210 is from the first opening end to the third opening end, or from the third opening end to the first opening end. In other words, see Figure 2 , the extending direction of the groove channel 210 is perpendicular to the paper surface. Figure 1 As shown, the recessed channel array transistor may further include an interlayer dielectric layer 600, which covers the surface of the gate 300 near the notch 212 of the recessed channel. Optionally, the surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 600 away from the substrate 100 is flush with the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420. In this way, the interlayer dielectric layer 600 can isolate the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420.
[0061] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the second gate insulating layer 520 is far away from the surface of the substrate 100 and is lower than the surface of the well region 220 near the source and drain regions. That is, the second gate insulating layer 520 is far away from the surface of the substrate 100 and is located on the side of the source and drain regions near the substrate 100, thereby ensuring that the threshold voltage at the bottom of the groove channel is similar to the threshold voltage of the sidewall of the groove channel.
[0062] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the first gate insulating layer 510 is located between the interlayer dielectric layer 600 and the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420. In another embodiment, the material of the interlayer dielectric layer 600 may include silicon nitride.
[0063] The present disclosure also provides a storage device, which includes the recessed channel array transistor of the recessed channel array transistor embodiment. The recessed channel array transistor used in the storage device of the present disclosure is the same as the recessed channel array transistor in the recessed channel array transistor embodiment, and therefore has the same beneficial effects, which will not be described in detail here.
[0064] In one embodiment, the storage device is a dynamic random access memory; wherein the capacitor of the dynamic random access memory is connected to one of the source layer 410 or the drain layer 420 of the recessed channel array transistor, the bit line of the dynamic random access memory is connected to the other of the source layer 410 or the drain layer 420 of the recessed channel array transistor; and the word line of the dynamic random access memory is connected to the gate 300 of the recessed channel array transistor.
[0065] The present disclosure also provides a method for preparing a recessed channel array transistor. Figure 3 As shown, the method for preparing the recessed channel array transistor includes:
[0066] Step S110, as Figure 4 As shown, an active material layer is formed;
[0067] Step S120, forming a groove channel 210 in the active material layer;
[0068] Step S130, as Figure 8 As shown, a second gate insulating layer 520 is formed, and the second gate insulating layer 520 covers the side wall surface of the groove channel 210 away from the notch 212 of the groove channel;
[0069] Step S140, as Fig. 9 As shown, a first gate insulating layer 510 is formed, and the first gate insulating layer 510 covers the remaining sidewall surfaces of the groove channel 210; the dielectric constant of the second gate insulating layer 520 is greater than the dielectric constant of the first gate insulating layer 510;
[0070] Step S150, as Fig.10 As shown, a gate 300 is formed, and the gate 300 fills the groove channel 210 and covers the second gate insulating layer 520 and a portion of the first gate insulating layer 510;
[0071] Step S160, as Figure 1 As shown, the active material layer is transformed into an active region 220 by ion implantation.
[0072] In the recessed channel array transistor preparation method disclosed in the present invention, due to the influence of the curvature effect of the recessed channel 210 and the thickness of the second gate insulating layer 520 being greater than the thickness of the first gate insulating layer 510, the recessed channel array transistor presents a trend that the threshold voltage at the bottom 211 of the recessed channel is greater than the threshold voltage at the sidewall of the recessed channel. However, the dielectric constant of the first gate insulating layer 510 is less than the dielectric constant of the second gate insulating layer 520, which will cause the recessed channel array transistor to present a trend that the threshold voltage at the sidewall of the recessed channel is greater than the threshold voltage at the bottom 211 of the recessed channel. Therefore, the larger dielectric constant of the second gate insulating layer 520 offsets the influence of the larger thickness of the second gate insulating layer 520, so that the difference between the threshold voltage at the bottom 211 of the recessed channel and the threshold voltage at the sidewall of the recessed channel of the recessed channel array transistor is reduced or eliminated, thereby improving the uniformity of the threshold voltage of the recessed channel array transistor at various positions of the recessed channel 210, and improving the performance of the recessed channel array transistor.
[0073] In step S110, Figure 4As shown, an active material layer can be formed on one side of a substrate 100, so that a recessed channel array transistor can be disposed on a substrate 100. In step S120, a notch 212 of a recessed channel is opened on a surface of a well region 220 away from the substrate 100.
[0074] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, step S110 may include sequentially forming a well region 220 and a source-drain material layer 430 on one side of the substrate 100, forming an active material layer including a stacked well region 220 and a source-drain material layer 430. The materials of the source-drain material layer 430 and the well region 220 may be the same. In step S120, the groove channel 210 divides the source-drain material layer 430 into a first source-drain material layer 431 and a second source-drain material layer 432. In step S160, by doping the first source-drain material layer 431 and the second source-drain material layer 432, the first source-drain material layer 431 and the second source-drain material layer 432 are converted into a source layer 410 and a drain layer 420, respectively, to form a source-drain region.
[0075] In step S110 and step S160, the well region 220, the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420 may be doped semiconductors, and the doping types are different. For example, in one embodiment, the well region 220 is a semiconductor layer with P-type doped ions, that is, the well region 220 is a P-type doped semiconductor layer; the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420 are semiconductor layers with N-type doped ions, that is, the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420 are N-type heavily doped regions. Active region In another embodiment, the well region 220 is an N-type doped semiconductor layer; the source layer 410 and the drain layer 420 are P-type heavily doped regions.
[0076] In step S120 , the groove channel 210 penetrates the source and drain regions and extends to the well region 220 .
[0077] In step S130, the second gate insulating layer 520 may be formed by the following method:
[0078] Step S210, as Figure 5 As shown, a second gate insulating material layer 530 is formed to cover the surface of the side wall 213 of the groove channel, the material of the second gate insulating material layer 530 is the same as that of the second gate insulating layer 520, and the thickness of the second gate insulating layer 520 at the bottom 211 of the groove channel is the same as the thickness of the second gate insulating layer 520 at the bottom 211 of the groove channel.
[0079] Step S220, as Figure 6As shown, a protective material layer 540 is formed on the side of the second gate insulating material layer 530 away from the well region 220. Optionally, the protective material layer 540 is filled in the groove channel 210 and extends upward, so that the surface of the protective material layer 540 away from the bottom 211 of the groove channel is flush with the surface of the source and drain material layer 430 away from the well region 220, so that it is easy to control the etching depth of the protective material layer 540 in subsequent etching. Optionally, the material of the protective material layer 540 is the same as that of the gate 300.
[0080] Step S230, as Figure 7 As shown, part of the protection material layer 540 is removed by etching, so that the surface of the remaining protection material layer 540 away from the bottom 211 of the groove channel is flush with the surface of the second gate insulation layer 520 away from the bottom 211 of the groove channel.
[0081] Step S240, as Figure 8 As shown, the second gate insulating material layer 530 not covered by the remaining protection material layer 540 is removed by etching, and the remaining second gate insulating material layer 530 forms a second gate insulating layer 520 .
[0082] In one embodiment, the material of the second gate insulating layer 520 is a high dielectric constant material. Further, the dielectric constant of the material of the second gate insulating layer 520 is greater than 4. Optionally, the material of the second gate insulating layer 520 includes one or more of silicon oxynitride, silicon nitride and hafnium oxide.
[0083] In step S140, if Fig. 9 As shown, a first gate insulating layer 510 is formed; wherein the dielectric constant of the second gate insulating layer 520 is greater than the dielectric constant of the first gate insulating layer 510 .
[0084] Optionally, the thickness of one end of the first gate insulating layer 510 close to the second gate insulating layer 520 is equal to the thickness of one end of the second gate insulating layer 520 close to the first gate insulating layer 510 .
[0085] It is understandable that if Fig. 9 As shown, the first gate insulating layer 510 also covers the sidewalls of the first source-drain material layer 431 close to the notch 212 of the groove channel, and covers the sidewalls of the second source-drain material layer 432 close to the notch 212 of the groove channel.
[0086] Optionally, the second gate insulating layer 520 and the first gate insulating layer 510 form a gate insulating layer 500 of a recessed channel array transistor. In a cross section perpendicular to the extension direction of the groove channel 210, the length of the second gate insulating layer 520: the length of the gate insulating layer 500 = 0.4-0.8.
[0087] In step S150, if Fig.10 As shown, the gate 300 material can be filled in the groove channel 210 to form the gate 300. It is understood that if the material of the protective material layer 540 is different from the material of the gate 300, the remaining protective material layer 540 needs to be removed in advance. If the material of the protective material layer 540 is the same as the material of the gate 300, the gate material can continue to be deposited on the remaining protective material layer 540 until the gate 300 is formed.
[0088] In one embodiment, along the direction in which the well region 220 is away from the substrate 100, the surface of the well region 220 away from the substrate 100 does not exceed the surface of the gate 300 away from the substrate 100. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the gate 300 is away from the surface of the substrate 100 , and is located at a side of the well region 220 away from the substrate 100 .
[0089] In step S160, if Figure 1 As shown, ions may be implanted into the first source-drain material layer 431 and the second source-drain material layer 432 by ion implantation, so that the first source-drain material layer 431 is converted into the source layer 410, and the second source-drain material layer 432 is converted into the drain layer 420. Optionally, step S160 may be performed before performing step S130 or step S120, or after performing step S150.
[0090] In one embodiment, the method for preparing a recessed channel array transistor may further include:
