[0042] The material of the substrate 100 can be glass, quartz, organic polymer, or light-blocking / reflective material (e.g., conductive material, metal, wafer, ceramic, or other applicable materials) or other applicable materials. If a conductive material or metal is used, an insulating layer (not shown) is covered on the substrate 100 to avoid short-circuit problems.

[0043] The first gate 210 is located above the substrate 100.

In some embodiments, other conductive layers and insulating layers may also be included between the first gate 210 and the substrate 100.

[0044] The first gate dielectric layer 110 is located on the first gate 210 and covers the first gate 210.

[0045] The semiconductor layer 220 is located on the first gate dielectric layer 110. The first gate dielectric layer 110 is located between the semiconductor layer 220 and the first gate 210. The semiconductor layer 220 overlaps the first gate 210 in the normal direction ND of the top surface of the substrate 100.

[0048] The interlayer dielectric layer 130 is located on the second gate dielectric layer 120. The interlayer dielectric layer 130 includes an opening that overlaps the channel region 224 of the semiconductor layer 220 and the second gate 240, and the second gate 240 is located at the bottom of the aforementioned opening.

[0049] The interlayer dielectric layer 130 includes an inorganic material (e.g., silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, hafnium oxide, aluminum oxide, other suitable materials, or a stacked layer of at least two of the above materials), an organic material, or other suitable materials, or a combination of the above. In some embodiments, the interlayer dielectric layer 130 includes hydrogen. In some embodiments, during the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device 10A, the hydrogen in the interlayer dielectric layer 130 diffuses to the source region 222 and the drain region 226 of the semiconductor layer 220 and the metal oxide electrode 310 through a heat treatment manufacturing process, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the hydrogen diffuses to the source region 222, the drain region 226, and the metal oxide electrode 310 through a hydrogen plasma manufacturing process or other doping manufacturing processes.

[0051] The piezoelectric device 300 is located on the second gate dielectric layer 120 and includes a metal oxide electrode 310, a piezoelectric material 320, and a top electrode 330 stacked on each other.

[0052] The metal oxide electrode 310 is filled into the opening of the interlayer dielectric layer 130 to electrically connect to the second gate 240. In this embodiment, the metal oxide electrode 310 directly contacts the second gate 240. In this embodiment, the width of the bottom of the opening of the interlayer dielectric layer 130 is equal to the width of the metal oxide electrode 310, that is to say, the metal oxide electrode 310 fills the entire bottom of the opening of the interlayer dielectric layer 130. In some embodiments, the metal oxide electrode 310 includes indium gallium zinc oxide treated with fluorine. The semiconductor layer 220 is located between the metal oxide electrode 310 and the first gate 210.

In other embodiments, the side edges of the top electrode 330 are not aligned with the side edges of the piezoelectric material 320.

[0055] Figures 2A to 2K is Figure 1 a cross-sectional schematic view of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 2A , a first gate 210 is formed on the substrate 100. Then, a first gate dielectric layer 110 is formed on the first gate 210.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2B , a semiconductor layer 220' is formed on the first gate dielectric layer 110, wherein the first gate dielectric layer 110 is located between the semiconductor layer 220' and the first gate 210. Then, a second gate dielectric layer 120 is formed on the semiconductor layer 220'.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2C , a second gate 240 is formed on the second gate dielectric layer 120. Then, using the second gate 240 as a mask, a doping process P is performed on the semiconductor layer 220' to form a semiconductor layer 220 including a source region 222, a drain region 226, and a channel region 224. In some embodiments, the doping process P is, for example, a hydrogen plasma process.

[0059] In the present embodiment, the second gate dielectric layer 120 covers the semiconductor layer 220', but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the second gate dielectric layer 120 is patterned to expose the semiconductor layer 220' that does not overlap with the second gate 240. In some embodiments, the doping process P is performed on the semiconductor layer 220' after patterning the second gate dielectric layer 120.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2D , an interlayer dielectric layer 130 is formed on the second gate 240 and the second gate dielectric layer 120. The interlayer dielectric layer 130 covers the second gate 240.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2E , a first contact hole TH1 and a second contact hole TH2 are formed through the interlayer dielectric layer 130 and the second gate dielectric layer 120.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 2F , to form the source electrode 232 and the drain electrode 234. The source electrode 232 and the drain electrode 234 belong to the same patterned conductive layer. The source electrode 232 and the drain electrode 234 are respectively filled into the first contact hole TH1 and the second contact hole TH2 to electrically connect the source region 222 and the drain region 226 of the semiconductor layer 220.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 2G , an opening OP1 is formed in the interlayer dielectric layer 130, and the opening 1 exposes at least a part of the top surface of the second gate 240. In this embodiment, the opening OP1 is formed in the interlayer dielectric layer 130 after the source electrode 232 and the drain electrode 234 are formed, thereby avoiding damaging the top surface of the second gate 240 during the etching process for forming the source electrode 232 and the drain electrode 234.

[0064] Please refer to Figures 2H to 2K and Figure 1 , a piezoelectric device 300 is formed on the second gate 240.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 2H , a metal oxide material layer 310” is formed in the opening OP1. In this embodiment, the metal oxide material layer 310” extends outside the opening OP1 and covers the interlayer dielectric layer 130, the source electrode 232 and the drain electrode 234.

[0066] Then please refer to Figure 2I , the metal oxide material layer 310” is fluorinated. For example, the metal oxide material layer 310” is treated with fluorine plasma to obtain a fluorinated metal oxide material layer 310’.

[0067] Then please refer to Figure 2J , the fluorinated metal oxide material layer 310’ is patterned to obtain the metal oxide electrode 310. In this embodiment, the fluorine content in the metal oxide electrode 310 is greater than the fluorine content in the semiconductor layer 220. In some embodiments, the metal oxide electrode 310 is not hydrogen-doped. Therefore, the hydrogen content in the metal oxide electrode 310 is less than the hydrogen content in the source region 222 and the drain region 226, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, a hydrogen doping process is performed before or after the fluorination process. Therefore, the hydrogen content in the metal oxide electrode 310 is greater than or equal to the hydrogen content in the source region 222 and the drain region 226.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 2K, a piezoelectric material 320 is formed on a metal oxide electrode 310. In this embodiment, since the surface of the metal oxide electrode 310 is fluorine-treated, the diffusion of fluorine during the thermal annealing crystallization process of the piezoelectric material will form carbon-fluorine bonds (C-F, C-F 2 ), carbon-fluorine-hydrogen bonds (C-FH) in the piezoelectric material, so the crystallinity of the piezoelectric material 320 can be improved.

[0069] Finally, please return to Figure 1 , and a top electrode 330 is formed on the piezoelectric material 320. Thus, the semiconductor device 10A is substantially completed.

[0070] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional schematic view of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention. It must be noted here that Figure 3 The embodiment of Figure 1 adopts the component numbers and partial contents of the embodiment of

[0071] Figure 3 , where the same or similar component numbers are used to represent the same or similar components, and the description of the same technical content is omitted. For the description of the omitted part, reference can be made to the foregoing embodiment, which will not be elaborated here. Figure 1 The main difference between the semiconductor device 10B of

[0072] Figure 4 and the semiconductor device 10A of Figure 4 is that: the width of the metal oxide electrode 310 of the semiconductor device 10B is greater than the width of the bottom of the opening OP1 of the interlayer dielectric layer 130. The metal oxide electrode 310 extends along the side surface of the opening OP1 to the top surface of the interlayer dielectric layer 130, for example. Figure 1 The embodiment of

[0073] Figure 4 adopts the component numbers and partial contents of the embodiment of Figure 1 The main difference between the semiconductor device 10C of

[0074] Figure 5 and the semiconductor device 10A ofFigure 5 The embodiments of Figure 1 adopt the component numbers and partial content of the embodiments of

[0075] Figure 5 The main difference between the semiconductor device 10D of Figure 1 and the semiconductor device 10A of Figure 1 is that the metal oxide electrode 310a of the piezoelectric device 300a of the semiconductor device 10D is directly formed on the second gate dielectric layer 120. In other words, the semiconductor device 10D does not include a second gate (such as Figure 1 the second gate 240 of

[0076] Figures 6A to 6I . In this embodiment, the metal oxide electrode 310a is, for example, a hydrogen-doped and fluorine-treated metal oxide (such as indium gallium zinc oxide or indium tungsten zinc oxide).

[0076] Figures 6A to 6I is Figure 5 a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device of

[0077] Figure 6A Continuing from Figure 2B the manufacturing process of Figure 6A , a metal oxide material layer 310” is formed on the second gate dielectric layer 120. The metal oxide material layer 310” overlaps the entire semiconductor layer 220’ in the normal direction ND of the top surface of the substrate 100.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 6B , and the metal oxide material layer 310” is fluorine-treated. For example, the metal oxide material layer 310” is treated with fluorine plasma to obtain a fluorine-treated metal oxide material layer 310’. Since the metal oxide material layer 310” covers the semiconductor layer 220’, the probability of fluorine element diffusing into the semiconductor layer 220’ can be reduced.

[0079] Next, please refer to Figure 6C , and the fluorine-treated metal oxide material layer 310’ is patterned to obtain the metal oxide electrode 310. The metal oxide electrode 310 is formed on the second gate dielectric layer 120.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 6D , using the metal oxide electrode 310 as a mask, a doping process P is performed on the semiconductor layer 220’ to form a semiconductor layer 220 including a source region 222, a drain region 226, and a channel region 224. In some embodiments, the doping process P is, for example, a hydrogen plasma process. In this embodiment, the metal oxide electrode 310 becomes a hydrogen-doped metal oxide electrode 310a after the doping process P.

[0081] In this embodiment, the fluorine content in the hydrogen-doped metal oxide electrode 310a is greater than the fluorine content in the semiconductor layer 220.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 6E , an interlayer dielectric layer 130 is formed over the metal oxide electrode 310a and the second gate dielectric layer 120. The interlayer dielectric layer 130 covers the metal oxide electrode 310a.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 6F , a first contact hole TH1 and a second contact hole TH2 are formed through the interlayer dielectric layer 130 and the second gate dielectric layer 120. The first contact hole TH1 and the second contact hole TH2 expose the source region 222 and the drain region 226 of the semiconductor layer 220.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 6G , a source electrode 232 and a drain electrode 234 are formed. The source electrode 232 and the drain electrode 234 belong to the same patterned conductive layer. The source electrode 232 and the drain electrode 234 are respectively filled into the first contact hole TH1 and the second contact hole TH2 to electrically connect the source region 222 and the drain region 226 of the semiconductor layer 220.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 6H , an opening OP1 is formed in the interlayer dielectric layer 130, and the opening OP1 exposes the metal oxide electrode 310a. In this embodiment, the opening OP1 is formed in the interlayer dielectric layer 130 after the source electrode 232 and the drain electrode 234 are formed, thereby avoiding damage to the metal oxide electrode 310a during the etching process for forming the source electrode 232 and the drain electrode 234. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first contact hole TH1, the second contact hole TH2, and the opening OP1 are formed through the same etching process.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 6I , a piezoelectric material 320 is formed on the metal oxide electrode 310a. In this embodiment, since the surface of the metal oxide electrode 310a is fluorine-treated, the diffusion of fluorine during the thermal annealing crystallization process of the piezoelectric material will form carbon-fluorine bonds (C-F, C-F 2 ), carbon-fluorine-hydrogen bonds (C-FH) in the piezoelectric material, so that the crystallinity of the piezoelectric material 320 can be improved.

[0087] Finally, please refer back to Figure 5 , a top electrode 330 is formed on the piezoelectric material 320. Thus, the semiconductor device 10D is substantially completed.

[0088] Figure 7It is a graph showing the change in the voltage of the second gate or metal oxide electrode and the change in the drain current of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 It is a waveform diagram showing the time and the change in the drain current of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 7 , the horizontal axis is the voltage V of the second gate or metal oxide electrode TG , and the vertical axis is the drain current (I D ).

[0090] When no additional pressure is applied to the piezoelectric device, the voltage-current curve of the semiconductor device conforms to Figure 7 the solid line in; when additional pressure is applied to the piezoelectric device, the voltage-current curve of the semiconductor device conforms to Figure 7 the dashed line in. When the voltage of the first gate is fixed and the semiconductor device is in the subthreshold region, after applying additional pressure to the piezoelectric device, the drain current will decrease from I 1 to I 2 , and there is a current change ΔI between I 1 and I 2 . By measuring the current change ΔI, the additional pressure applied to the piezoelectric device by the outside world can be known.

[0091] In this embodiment, since after applying additional pressure to the piezoelectric device, a positive voltage appears on the side of the piezoelectric material close to the metal oxide electrode, and a negative voltage appears on the side of the piezoelectric material close to the top electrode, therefore Figure 7 the dashed line in is shifted to the right compared to the solid line, that is, the drain current after applying pressure decreases. The positive and negative voltages generated when applying additional pressure are related to the polarization direction of the piezoelectric material. Therefore, in other embodiments, after applying additional pressure to the piezoelectric device, a negative voltage appears on the side of the piezoelectric material close to the metal oxide electrode, and a positive voltage appears on the side of the piezoelectric material close to the top electrode. At this time, the dashed line will shift to the left compared to the solid line, that is, the drain current after applying pressure increases.

[0092] In summary, the semiconductor device of the present invention will change the magnitude of the drain current in response to the change in the applied pressure. In addition, the semiconductor device of the present invention has the advantages of high manufacturing process yield and low production cost.
