[0001] Priority Claim
[0002] This patent application claims the priority of the non - provisional application No. 16 / 749,897, titled "GATE ALL AROUND TRANSISTORS WITH HIGH CHARGE MOBILITY CHANNEL MATERIALS", filed on January 22, 2020, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to transistors, and more particularly, to gate - all - around transistors with high - charge - mobility channel materials. BACKGROUND ART
[0004] Transistors are essential components in modern electronic devices. As modern electronic devices become increasingly complex in function, an increasing number of transistors are integrated in such devices. This increase in the number of transistors is achieved in part by continuous efforts to reduce the size of transistors. As transistors become smaller, the gate length of the transistors decreases accordingly, resulting in reduced gate control and degraded transistor performance. To overcome these problems, gate - all - around transistors have been developed. Gate - all - around transistors such as fin - field - effect transistors and gate - all - around (GAA) transistors include gate material that wraps around at least a portion of the channel structure to provide better gate control over the channel region. Taking the GAA transistor as an example, it includes gate material surrounding the channel region.
[0005] Silicon (Si) is a semiconductor material widely used in transistors. In GAA transistors, Si is typically used as the channel material. However, compared with some other semiconductor materials, Si has a lower charge mobility, which limits the performance of GAA transistors. To further improve the performance of GAA transistors, a channel material with a higher charge mobility is desired. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The semiconductor device may further include a P - type metal - oxide - semiconductor (PMOS) GAA transistor on the substrate, where the PMOS GAA transistor includes a second channel material. The first channel material may have an electron mobility greater than the electron mobility of silicon (Si), and the second channel material may have a hole mobility greater than the hole mobility of Si.
[0007] Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method may include forming an N-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) gate-all-around (GAA) transistor on a substrate, wherein the NMOS GAA transistor includes a first channel material. The method may further include forming a P-type metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) GAA transistor on the substrate, wherein the PMOS GAA transistor includes a second channel material.

[0029] In Figure 3E it, stage 300(9) includes patterning the second hard mask 330 and the dummy layer 328 to separate the first multi-layer structure 320 from the second multi-layer structure 322. The second hard mask layer 330 and the dummy layer 328 between the first multi-layer structure 320 and the second multi-layer structure 322 can be removed by etching the second hard mask layer 330 and the dummy layer 328 between the first multi-layer structure 320 and the second multi-layer structure 322 using the oxide layer 326 as an etch stop.
[0030] In Figure 3EIn stage 300(10), the second hard mask layer 330 is removed. Stage 300(10) also includes replacing the dummy layer 328 with a metal gate layer 332. As an example, the metal gate layer 332 may include tungsten. Stage 300(10) also includes removing a first material layer from among a plurality of alternating first material layers and second material layers in the first multi-layer structure 320. As an example, the first material layer may include Ge. Stage 300(10) also includes removing the isolation layer 306 in the first multi-layer structure 320. The first material layer and the isolation layer 306 may be removed by wet etching. Stage 300(10) also includes forming a plurality of first gate layers 334 to replace the first material layer and the isolation layer 306 in the first multi-layer structure 320.

Stage 300(10) also includes forming a second plurality of gate layers 336 to replace the second material layer in the second multi-layer structure 322. As an example, the plurality of second gate layers 336 may include HfO2 and TiN. The plurality of second gate layers 336 may be formed by atomic layer conformal filling. After this process, the second multi-layer structure 322 includes first material layers from among the plurality of alternating first material layers and second material layers and the plurality of second gate layers 336. As an example, the first material layer may include Ge, which may be used as a channel material for a PMOS GAA transistor. Thus, the second multi-layer structure 322 may be used to form a PMOS GAA transistor. Compared with the charge mobility of Si, both the first multi-layer structure 320 and the second multi-layer structure 322 may include channel materials with higher charge mobility. Thus, using the first multi-layer structure 320 and the second multi-layer structure 322 may improve the performance of the GAA transistor.
