Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same. Background Art
[0002] As the integration density of semiconductor devices increases, the critical dimensions of transistors continue to shrink. However, as transistor dimensions decrease dramatically, the gate dielectric thickness and operating voltage cannot be adjusted accordingly, making it more difficult to suppress the short channel effect and increasing the channel leakage current of the transistor.
[0003] The gate of the Fin Field-Effect Transistor (FinFET) is a forked 3D structure similar to a fish fin. The channel of the FinFET protrudes from the surface of the substrate to form a fin, and the gate covers the top surface and sidewalls of the fin, so that an inversion layer is formed on each side of the channel, which can control the connection and disconnection of the circuit on both sides of the fin. This design can increase the control of the gate over the channel region, thereby effectively suppressing the short channel effect of the transistor. However, the short channel effect still exists in the Fin Field-Effect Transistor.
[0004] Furthermore, to further reduce the impact of the short channel effect on semiconductor devices and lower channel leakage current, strained silicon technology has been introduced into the field of semiconductor technology. The strained silicon technology method includes: forming grooves in the fins on both sides of the gate structure; and forming source and drain doped regions in the grooves through an epitaxial growth process.
[0005] In order to prevent the source and drain doping regions of different transistors from being connected to each other, an isolation layer needs to be formed in the fin. At the same time, in order to reduce the area of the isolation layer and improve the integration of the formed semiconductor structure, the existing technology introduces SDB (Single Diffusion Break) technology.

[0031] Figures 4 to 18 It is a schematic structural diagram of each step of an embodiment of a method for forming a semiconductor structure of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] As described in the background art, existing methods still have many problems in the process of forming semiconductor structures, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Figures 1 to 3 It is a structural diagram of a semiconductor structure.
[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 It is a top view of the semiconductor structure omitting the dielectric layer and isolation layer. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the cross section along the AA direction, Figure 3 yes Figure 1The cross-sectional schematic diagram along the BB direction includes: a substrate 100, the substrate 100 including a first region I and a second region II, the first region I having a plurality of mutually discrete first fins 101, the first fins 101 including a first isolation region 102, the second region II having a plurality of mutually discrete second fins 103, the second fins 103 including a second isolation region 104; a plurality of first source-drain doped layers 108 located within the first fins 101, the first source-drain doped layers 108 having first source-drain ions therein; a plurality of second source-drain doped layers 105 located within the second fins 103, the second source-drain doped layers 105 having second source-drain ions therein, the first source-drain ions and the second source-drain ions having opposite electrical types; a first isolation structure 106 located within the first isolation region 102, the first isolation structure 106 providing a first stress for the first fin 101; a second isolation structure 107 located within the second isolation region 104, the second isolation structure 107 providing a second stress for the second fin 103, the first stress and the second stress having the same stress type.
[0035] In this embodiment, by forming the first isolation structure 106 and the second isolation structure 107, it is possible to effectively prevent short circuits between the first source-drain doped layers 108 formed in the first fin 101 and short circuits between the second source-drain doped layers 105 formed in the second fin 103, thereby achieving an isolation effect.
[0036] In this embodiment, since the electrical types of the first source and drain ions are opposite to those of the second source and drain ions, the first fin 101 is used to form a PMOS transistor structure (NMOS transistor structure), and the second fin 103 is used to form an NMOS transistor structure (PMOS transistor structure). Since the PMOS transistor structure and the NMOS transistor structure have different stress requirements for the fins, the PMOS transistor structure needs to provide compressive stress for the first fin 101, and the compressive stress is generated by the first isolation structure 106 acting on the first fin 101, while the NMOS transistor structure needs to provide tensile stress for the second fin 103, and the tensile stress is generated by the second isolation structure 107 acting on the second fin 103.
[0037] However, in this embodiment, since the first isolation structure 106 and the second isolation structure 107 are formed simultaneously using the same process step, the materials of the first isolation structure 106 and the second isolation structure 107 are the same, and the corresponding first isolation structure 106 provides the first fin 101 with the same stress type as the second isolation structure 107 provides the second fin 103. Therefore, the stress requirements of the PMOS transistor structure and the NMOS transistor structure cannot be met at the same time, thereby reducing the performance of the finally formed semiconductor structure.
[0038] Based on this, the present invention provides a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same. A first isolation structure located within the first isolation region provides a first stress to the first fin; a second isolation structure located within the second isolation region provides a second stress to the second fin. The first and second stresses are of opposite types. These structures simultaneously meet the stress requirements of different transistor types, thereby improving the performance of the resulting semiconductor structure.
