[0039] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a semiconductor device manufacturing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the specific process of this manufacturing method can be as follows:
[0040] Step S101: Provide a substrate, the substrate including a first region and a second region.
[0041] The cross-sectional structure diagram after step S101 is shown below. Figure 4A As shown.
[0042] Specifically, the substrate 10 can be made of semiconductor materials such as silicon, germanium, or silicon-on-insulator (SOI). In this embodiment, the substrate 10 may include a first region (region A) and a second region (region B). Region A is a high-voltage device region used to form the concave-gate transistor in this embodiment of the invention. Region B is a low-voltage device region. Further, the low-voltage device region may also include a low-low voltage device region, whose breakdown voltage is lower than that of the low-voltage device region. Region B is used to form a fin-like transistor similar to a FinFET in this embodiment of the invention. In a fin-like transistor, the gate can surround the channel from three sides, increasing the gate's control area over the channel and greatly enhancing the gate control capability. This effectively suppresses the short-channel effect and reduces the subthreshold leakage current. Since the high-voltage device region requires a higher breakdown voltage, the source-drain junction depth of the device is required to be deeper, and the height of the "Fin" (fin structure) of the corresponding fin-type transistor is also higher. However, it is difficult to form a three-sided gate structure on the higher Fin in the current process, so fin-type transistors are not used in region A.
[0043] Step S102: Form a groove in the first region.
[0044] The cross-sectional structure diagram of the semiconductor device after step S102 is shown below. Figure 4B As shown.
[0045] Specifically, the groove 101 facilitates the subsequent formation of a gate with a larger channel length in the first region, thereby mitigating the short-channel effect in the first region. The groove 101 can be formed by etching the substrate 10 using plasma etching, reactive ion etching, and / or wet etching processes. In this embodiment of the invention, the groove 101 can be formed in region A using plasma etching, specifically by mixing gases of Cl2, BCl3, He, and CF4 in a certain proportion for etching.
[0046] The substrate 10 also includes a third region (region C), which serves as an isolation layer when separating semiconductor devices from the wafer and also functions as a process monitoring layer. For example, test patterns can be formed in the third region to monitor process fluctuations (such as photolithography) in real time. Specifically, step S102 may involve forming the groove and dicing groove in the first region and the third region, respectively. A schematic diagram of the structure after this step is shown below. Figure 4C As shown.
[0047] Specifically, in existing processes, dicing grooves are generally formed by laser etching, so the formation of groove 101 is completed in steps. However, in this embodiment of the invention, by designing a mask with the pattern of groove 101 and dicing groove 103, the groove 101 and dicing groove 103 are formed simultaneously on the substrate 10 through photolithography and etching processes. Therefore, process steps are saved, which is beneficial to saving process costs.
[0048] Step S103: Form a first oxide layer located in the first region and a second oxide layer located in the second region to form a first gate oxide layer on the groove.
[0049] The cross-sectional structure diagram of the semiconductor device after step S103 is shown below. Figure 4D As shown.
[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the formation process of the first oxide layer 11A and the second oxide layer 11B includes thermal oxidation, soft plasma oxidation, or UV photo-assisted oxidation. In this example, when the substrate 10 is selected as a silicon substrate, both the first oxide layer 11A and the second oxide layer 11B are silicon oxide. The first oxide layer 11A serves as the first gate oxide layer in region A.
[0051] Step S104: Form a first mask layer located on the first oxide layer and the second oxide layer.
[0052] The structural diagram after step S104 is as follows: Figure 4E As shown.
[0053] Specifically, the first mask layer 12 is a hard mask layer, and the specific material can be silicon nitride. The first oxide layer 11A and the second oxide layer 11B help to reduce the stress on the substrate 10 caused by the formation of the silicon nitride layer. In this example, the silicon nitride layer can be formed by LPCVD process.
[0054] Step S105: A first shallow trench isolation structure and a second shallow trench isolation structure are formed on the first region and the second region respectively. The height of the first shallow trench isolation structure in the first direction is greater than the height of the second shallow trench isolation structure in the first direction.
[0055] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another semiconductor device manufacturing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, step S105 may include:
[0056] Step S1051: The substrate is etched to form isolation trenches. A cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device after step S1051 is shown below. Figure 4F As shown.
[0057] Step S1052: Fill the isolation trench with an insulating material to form a first shallow trench isolation structure in the first region. A cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device after step S1052 is shown below. Figure 4G As shown.
[0058] Step S1053: The isolator distributed in the second region is etched to form a second shallow trench isolation structure. A cross-sectional view of the semiconductor device after step S1053 is shown below. Figure 4H As shown.
[0059] Specifically, a photoresist pattern defining the location of the isolation trench 102 and having an opening can be formed by coating a photoresist (not shown in the figure) on the surface of the first mask layer 12 and performing photolithography processes such as exposure and development. Then, reactive ion etching (RIE) or plasma etching processes are used to etch the first mask layer 12, the first oxide layer 11A, and the second oxide layer 11B through the opening to expose the surface of the substrate 10. Then, using a fluorine-containing etching gas, the substrate 10 is etched again with the first mask layer 12 as a mask, thereby forming the isolation trench 102 in the substrate 10. The isolation trench 102 includes a first sub-isolation trench 102A and a second sub-isolation trench 102B. The first sub-isolation trench 102A and the second sub-isolation trench 102B can be formed in one step, that is, they have the same height. Subsequently, the spacer 13 can be deposited in the isolation trench 102 and on the first mask layer 12 using a high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition process. Then, a planarization process, such as chemical mechanical polishing, is used to planarize the spacer 13 so that it is flush with the first mask layer 12. Finally, the spacer 13 located in the second sub-isolation trench 102B is selectively etched to form a second shallow trench isolation structure 13B. The height H1 of the first shallow trench isolation structure 13A in a first direction is greater than the height H2 of the second shallow trench isolation structure in the same first direction, where the first direction refers to the thickness direction of the substrate 10. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the second shallow trench isolation structure 13B is etched to be lower than the substrate 10. Therefore, the first shallow trench isolation structure 13A is higher than the substrate 10, and the substrate 10 is higher than the second shallow trench isolation structure 13B, so that the portion of the substrate 10 protruding from the second shallow trench isolation structure 13B serves as the fin structure in the fin-like field-effect transistor in region B.
[0060] Step S106: Remove the first mask layer.
[0061] The cross-sectional structure diagram of the semiconductor device after step S106 is shown below. Figure 4I As shown.
[0062] Specifically, in this example, when the first mask layer 12 is made of silicon nitride, it can be removed using hot phosphoric acid.
[0063] Step S107: Form a second gate oxide layer on the second region and the second shallow trench isolation structure.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 Specifically, step S107 may include:
[0065] Step S1071: Etch the second oxide layer.
[0066] The cross-sectional structure diagram of the semiconductor device after step S1071 is shown below. Figure 4J As shown.
[0067] Step S1072: A second gate oxide layer is formed on the surface of the substrate in the second region and on the sidewall of the isolation trench.
[0068] The cross-sectional structure diagram of the semiconductor device after step S107 is shown below. Figure 4K As shown.
[0069] Specifically, since region B is used to form a fin-type field-effect transistor, a gate oxide layer surrounding the sidewalls and top surface of the fin-type structure needs to be formed on the corresponding fin-type structure. Due to the aforementioned steps, a second oxide layer 11B is formed on the top surface of the corresponding fin-type structure. In order to form a gate oxide layer of uniform thickness on the corresponding fin-type structure, the second oxide layer 11B is first selectively etched away. Then, a second gate oxide layer 11B' is formed on the surface of the substrate 10 in the second region and on the sidewalls 1021 of the isolation trench 102 through a thermal oxidation process. Since the second gate oxide layer 11B' is formed by an oxidation process rather than an atomic deposition process, the second gate oxide layer 11B' can completely cover the sidewalls 1021 of the isolation trench 102, while only partially covering the second shallow trench isolation structure 13B.
[0070] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart of another semiconductor device manufacturing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the procedure following step S107 further includes:
[0071] Step S108: Form a first gate layer on the surface of the first gate oxide layer.
[0072] Step S109: Form a second gate layer on the surface of the second gate oxide layer.
[0073] The cross-sectional structure diagram of the semiconductor device after step S109 is shown below. Figure 4L And as shown in 4M.
[0074] Specifically, in Figure 4L as well as Figure 4M In order to better illustrate the structure of the second gate layer 14B, at least two adjacent trench isolation structures 13B are shown. Additionally, as... Figure 4M As shown, to better illustrate the isolation effect of the shallow trench isolation structure 13A on adjacent gate structures, two adjacent shallow trench isolation structures 13A are shown, and it can be seen that multiple shallow trench isolation structures are formed in region A. The first gate layer 14A, after patterning etching, is used as the gate of a concave-gate transistor, and the second gate layer 14B, after patterning etching, is used as the gate of a fin-like field-effect transistor. The second gate layer 14B can surround the channel (i.e., the fin-like structure 10B in the figure) from three sides, increasing the control area of the gate on the channel, thus greatly enhancing the gate control capability, thereby effectively suppressing the short-channel effect and reducing the subthreshold leakage current.
[0075] Please see Figures 4A-4M The present invention also provides a semiconductor device 100, which can be formed by the above-described manufacturing method. The semiconductor device 100 includes: a substrate 10, which includes a first region (region A) and a second region (region B). A groove 101 is formed in the first region A; a first shallow trench isolation structure 13A and a second shallow trench isolation structure 13B located in the first region and the second region, respectively. The height H1 of the first shallow trench isolation structure 13A is greater than the height H2 of the second shallow trench isolation structure 13B; a first gate oxide layer 11A located on the groove 101 and a second gate oxide layer 11B' located on the second region and the second shallow trench isolation structure 13B.
[0076] Specifically, the substrate 10 can be made of semiconductor materials such as silicon, germanium, or silicon-on-insulator (SOI). In this embodiment, the substrate 10 may include a first region (region A) and a second region (region B). Region A is a high-voltage device region, used to form the concave-gate transistor in this embodiment of the invention. Region B is a low-voltage device region, which may further include a low-low voltage device region with a lower breakdown voltage than the low-voltage device region. Region B is used to form a fin-type field-effect transistor in this embodiment of the invention, where the gate surrounds the channel from three sides, increasing the gate's control area over the channel and greatly enhancing the gate control capability. This effectively suppresses the short-channel effect and reduces the subthreshold leakage current. Since the high-voltage device region requires a high breakdown voltage, the source-drain junction depth of the device is required to be deep, and the corresponding fin-type structure height is also high. However, existing processes make it difficult to form a three-sided gate structure on a high fin-type structure, so FinFET is not used in region A. The groove 101 facilitates the subsequent formation of a gate with a larger channel length in the first region, thereby mitigating the short-channel effect in the first region.
[0077] The substrate 10 also includes a third region (C region), which has a dicing groove 103 formed thereon.
[0078] The substrate 10 also includes a third region (region C), which serves to isolate the semiconductor device during separation from the wafer and also monitors the process. For example, test patterns can be formed in the third region to monitor process fluctuations (such as photolithography). Specifically, in existing processes, dicing grooves are generally formed by laser etching, thus the formation of the groove 101 is done in steps. However, in this embodiment of the invention, by designing a mask with the patterns of the groove 101 and the dicing groove 103, the groove 101 and the dicing groove 103 are simultaneously formed on the substrate 10 through photolithography and etching processes. Therefore, process steps are saved, which helps to reduce process costs.
[0079] The semiconductor device 100 further includes: a first gate layer 14A located on the surface of the first gate oxide layer 11A; and a second gate layer 14B located on the surface of the second gate oxide layer 11B'.
[0080] Specifically, in Figure 4L as well as Figure 4M In order to better illustrate the structure of the second gate layer 14B, at least two adjacent trench isolation structures 13B are shown. Additionally, as... Figure 4MAs shown, to better illustrate the isolation effect of the shallow trench isolation structure 13A on adjacent gate structures, two adjacent shallow trench isolation structures 13A are shown, and it can be seen that multiple shallow trench isolation structures are formed in region A. The first gate layer 14A, after patterning etching, is used as the gate of a concave-gate transistor, and the second gate layer 14B, after patterning etching, is used as the gate of a fin-like field-effect transistor. The second gate layer 14B can surround the channel (i.e., the fin-like structure 10B in the figure) from three sides, increasing the control area of the gate on the channel, thus greatly enhancing the gate control capability, thereby effectively suppressing the short-channel effect and reducing the subthreshold leakage current.
