[0033] As described in the background art, the performance of the fin field effect transistor formed in the prior art needs to be improved. Figures 1 to 5 To explain, Figures 1 to 5 It is a structural schematic diagram of the formation process of a semiconductor structure.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 A substrate 100 is provided, on which a plurality of mutually discrete fins 101 are provided. The fins include a second region B and a first region A located on the second region B. A groove 102 is provided between adjacent fins 101 .

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 An interface layer 103 is formed on the surface of the fin 101 and the bottom surface of the trench 102 .

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 A precursor layer 104 is formed on the surface of the interface layer 103 , and the precursor layer 104 covers the fin 101 .

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 , performing annealing treatment so that the precursor layer 104 reacts with the interface layer 103 to form an initial isolation layer 105.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 5, planarizing the initial isolation layer 105 until the top surface of the fin 101 is exposed; removing a portion of the initial isolation layer 105 and the interface layer 103 in the groove 102 until the first area A is completely exposed, to form an isolation layer 106.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the process of forming the fin 101 will affect the verticality of the side wall of the fin 101 due to problems in the manufacturing process. Specifically, the side wall of the first area A and the side wall of the second area B are outwardly expanded and inclined, resulting in a larger bottom size of the first area A, and then the distance between adjacent first areas A will become smaller, which is prone to leakage problems and affects the performance of the formed semiconductor structure.

[0040] On this basis, the present invention provides a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same, wherein the initial fin is subjected to vertical isolation ion implantation treatment so that the isolation ions diffuse to the outwardly expanded inclined portion of the side wall of the initial fin, and then a first annealing treatment is performed so that the isolation ions react with the outwardly expanded inclined portion of the side wall of the fin to generate a first isolation layer. The initial fin forms a fin, and the bottom size of the first region of the fin is reduced after formation, thereby improving the electrical performance of the semiconductor structure finally formed.

[0041] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Figures 6 to 11 , is a structural schematic diagram of a formation process of a semiconductor structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 6 A substrate 200 is provided, on which a plurality of initial fins 201 separated from each other are provided, and grooves 202 are provided between adjacent initial fins 201 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the material of the substrate 200 is silicon; in other embodiments, the material of the substrate may also be germanium, silicon germanium, silicon carbide, gallium arsenide or indium gallium.

[0045] In this embodiment, the material of the initial fin 201 is silicon; in other embodiments, the material of the initial fin may also be germanium, silicon germanium, silicon carbide, gallium arsenide or indium gallium.

[0046] In this embodiment, the method of forming the initial fin 201 and the substrate 200 using a multiple patterning process includes: providing an initial substrate (not shown), forming a mask layer (not shown) on the top surface of the initial substrate; forming a sacrificial layer (not shown) on the mask layer; etching the sacrificial layer until the mask layer is exposed to form a plurality of discrete patterned structures; forming a first sidewall material layer (not shown) on the surface of the patterned structure and the top surface of the mask layer; removing the first sidewall material layer and the patterned structure in a horizontal direction to form a first sidewall layer; forming a second sidewall material layer (not shown) on the surface of the first sidewall layer and the top surface of the mask layer; removing the second sidewall material layer and the first sidewall layer in a horizontal direction to form a second sidewall layer; etching the mask layer and the initial substrate using the second sidewall layer as a mask to form the initial fin 201 and the substrate 200.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first spacer material layer and the second spacer material layer are formed by an atomic layer deposition process. The first spacer material layer and the second spacer material layer formed by the atomic layer deposition process have good uniformity, step coverage and thickness control capability, which effectively improves the accuracy of the initial fin pattern after etching.

[0048] In this embodiment, the initial fin 201 is formed by the multiple patterning process, which can greatly improve the density of the semiconductor integrated circuit without changing the current photolithography technology.

[0049] Due to the limitation of the manufacturing process, the verticality of the sidewalls of the initial fin 201 formed after etching needs to be improved, which is specifically manifested in that the sidewalls of the initial fin 201 are outwardly expanded and inclined.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 7 , an isolation ion implantation process is performed, wherein the direction of the isolation ion implantation is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the trench 202 , a first implantation region 203 is formed on the sidewall surface of the initial fin 201 , and a second implantation region 204 is formed on the bottom surface of the trench 202 .

[0051] In this embodiment, the isolation ions are oxygen ions.

[0052] In this embodiment, the purpose of injecting the isolation ions in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the groove 202 is to ensure that the isolation ions can enter the outwardly inclined part of the side wall of the initial fin 201 by vertically injecting the isolation ions, and will not be injected into the vertical part of the side wall of the initial fin 201, thereby ensuring the verticality of the side wall of the fin formed after the first annealing treatment.

[0053] In this embodiment, the isolation ion implantation process is performed at a temperature of -100°C to 0°C.

[0054] In this temperature range, the mobility of the isolation ions is reduced, thereby reducing the damage caused by the isolation ions to the sidewall surface of the initial fin 201 .

[0055] In addition, to improve the verticality of the sidewall of the initial fin 201, it is only necessary to form the first implantation region 203 in the outwardly expanded inclined portion of the initial fin 201. If the isolation ions diffuse deeper into the sidewall of the initial fin 201, the width of the final fin will be narrowed, thereby affecting the electrical performance of the formed semiconductor structure. Therefore, in a low temperature environment, the diffusion speed of the isolation ions is low, which makes it easier to control and can more accurately control the range of the isolation ions diffused to the sidewall of the initial fin 201.

[0056] In this embodiment, the parameters of the isolation ion implantation process include: implantation energy of 0KeV to 20KeV, implantation dose of 1E16atoms / cm 2 ~1E17atoms / cm 2 .

[0057] In this embodiment, the range of diffusion of the isolation ions to the side walls of the initial fin 201 can be comprehensively controlled by injection energy, injection dose and injection time to ensure that the isolation ions are more accurately diffused to the outward expansion part of the side walls of the initial fin 201, thereby improving the verticality of the side walls of the finally formed fins.

[0058] In the present embodiment, after the initial fin 201 is formed by adopting the multiple patterning process, the second sidewall layer (not marked) and the mask layer (not marked) serving as a mask will remain on the top surface of the initial fin 201. Therefore, when the isolation ion implantation process is performed, the isolation ions will not be implanted into the top surface of the initial fin 201 due to the blocking of the second sidewall layer and the mask layer. Therefore, after the subsequent first annealing process, the height of the initial fin 201 will not be affected.

[0059] In this embodiment, after the isolation ion implantation process, a first annealing process is performed to form the first implantation region 203 into a first isolation layer, the initial fin 201 into a fin, the fin including a second region and a first region located on the second region; and the second implantation region 204 into a second isolation layer. For the specific formation process, please refer to Figures 8 to 11 .

[0060] Please refer to Figure 8 After the isolation ion implantation process, an interface layer 205 is formed on the surface of the trench 202 .

[0061] In this embodiment, since the second spacer layer and the mask layer remain on the top surface of the initial fin 201 , the interface layer 205 is specifically formed on the exposed surfaces of the second spacer layer, the mask layer, the initial fin 201 and the trench 202 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the process of forming the interface layer 205 adopts an in-situ water vapor process. The interface layer 205 formed by the in-situ water vapor process can effectively reduce stress and reduce defects such as stacking faults. In addition, the interface layer 205 formed by this process has good graphic retention. The interface layer 205 formed at the top and bottom corners of the initial fin 201 is smooth and has a good isolation effect.

[0063] In this embodiment, the material of the interface layer 205 is silicon oxide.

[0064] In this embodiment, the thickness of the interface layer 205 is 30 angstroms to 40 angstroms.

[0065] In this embodiment, an initial isolation layer is subsequently formed in the groove 202, and the initial isolation layer is formed by a fluid chemical vapor deposition process. For the process of forming the initial isolation layer by a fluid chemical vapor deposition process, please refer to Figures 9 and 10 .

[0066] Please refer to Fig. 9 , a precursor layer 207 is formed in the groove by a spin coating process.

[0069] In this embodiment, the parameters of the first annealing treatment include: an annealing temperature of 620° C. to 650° C., and an annealing time of 40 min to 50 min.

[0070] In this embodiment, the precursor layer 207 can be solidified through the first annealing treatment to form the initial isolation layer 206, thereby improving the isolation quality; at the same time, the first injection area 203 and the second injection area 204 can also be formed into the first isolation layer 208 and the second isolation layer 209 under the first annealing treatment, thereby simplifying the process steps in the manufacturing process and improving production efficiency.

[0071] The first isolation layer 208 formed by the first injection area 203 can transform the outward expansion part of the side wall of the initial fin 201 into an isolation structure, so that the initial fin 201 forms a fin 211, effectively improving the verticality of the side wall of the initial fin 201, thereby reducing the bottom size of the first area A, increasing the distance between adjacent first areas A, reducing the occurrence of leakage problems, and improving the electrical performance of the semiconductor structure finally formed.

[0072] The second injection region 204 is formed on the bottom surface of the groove 202, and the second isolation layer 209 is formed after the first annealing treatment. The second isolation layer 209 deepens the isolation depth, reduces the parasitic capacitance between the subsequently formed device structure and the substrate 200, and improves the electrical performance of the semiconductor structure finally formed.

[0073] Please refer to Fig.11 After forming the initial isolation layer 206 , the initial isolation layer 206 is planarized until the top surface of the fin 211 is exposed; a portion of the initial isolation layer 206 in the groove 202 is removed until the first area A is completely exposed, thereby forming an isolation layer 210 .

The removal process used is a wet etching process. In other embodiments, the process used to remove part of the initial isolation layer in the groove may also be a dry etching process.

[0076] In this embodiment, the angle between the side wall surface of the first region A of the fin 211 and the bottom surface of the fin 211 is 89.5° to 90°.

[0077] The distance between adjacent fins 211 is 22 nm to 26 nm; the width of the fin 211 is 8 nm to 10 nm; and the height of the fin 211 is 1100 angstroms to 1300 angstroms.
