Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, in particular to a semiconductor dielectric layer structure and a manufacturing method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The Schottky diode has the advantages of low on-voltage and fast switching speed, but also has the disadvantage of large reverse leakage current. The power loss of the Schottky diode in a circuit includes forward loss, turn-on loss, turn-off loss and reverse loss. Since the reverse leakage current of the Schottky diode is large, the reverse loss is the main source of power loss. In terms of structural principle, the trench MOS Schottky can effectively reduce the electric field at the Schottky contact and weaken the influence of the Schottky barrier lowering effect by using the electric field shielding effect. Since the Schottky leakage current is exponentially dependent on the electric field, the trench MOS Schottky structure can greatly reduce the leakage current compared to the planar Schottky.
[0003] In terms of manufacturing process, the contact hole etching of the planar Schottky often uses a wet etching process, which causes less damage to the semiconductor surface and has an ideal semiconductor surface. However, due to the particularity of the oxide layer structure of the trench MOS Schottky, the contact hole etching often needs dry etching. In order to ensure that the oxide layer is etched clean, a certain over-etching amount must be ensured, which will cause damage to the semiconductor surface and increase the reverse leakage current. Figure 14 As shown in the following, the process steps of the commonly used trench MOS Schottky from the production process to the contact hole etching are briefly described as follows:
[0004] 1) A thermal oxide layer 2 is grown on a semiconductor epitaxial layer 1. The thermal oxide layer 2 will serve as a mask layer for trench etching, and its thickness is adjusted according to the selectivity ratio of trench etching, generally with a thickness of 600-800 nm;
[0005] 2) A window for the trench is etched on the thermal oxide layer 2 through a photolithography and etching process, and the remaining thermal oxide layer 2 will serve as a mask medium for trench etching. After etching is completed, all photoresists are removed;
[0006] 3) The trench pattern is etched using the thermal oxide layer 2 as a mask;
[0007] 4) A thermal oxide layer 2 is grown as a gate oxide layer 3 of the trench MOS, and its wet etching rate is the same as that of the thermal oxide layer 2;
[0008] 5) After depositing in-situ doped polysilicon 4, it is etched back, and the remaining in-situ doped polysilicon 4 will serve as the filling material of the trench and as the gate contact material of the trench MOS;
[0009] 6)Deposited oxide layer 5 as a dielectric layer between the semiconductor and the top layer metal. The wet etching rate of the deposited oxide layer 5 can reach 7 times of the wet etching rate of the thermal oxide layer, and the difference is large. However, the dry etching rates of the two are not much different;
[0010] 7)Coating photoresist 6 and photoetching, and the photoresist 6 formed will be used as a mask layer for contact hole etching. It can be seen that the contact hole etching needs to separate the deposited oxide layer 5 and the thermal oxide layer 2, and then the semiconductor surface can be contacted;
[0011] 8)Due to the oxide layer structure of the contact hole to be etched, the dry etching method is generally used for contact hole etching; if the wet etching is used, the deposited oxide layer 5 will be etched clean in advance, and then the thermal oxide layer 3 (gate oxide layer) will be seriously over-etched, causing device failure;
[0012] 9)After the contact hole etching, the photoresist is removed;
[0013] 10)Subsequently, a Schottky barrier, a top layer metal, a passivation layer and the like will be continuously manufactured, which is not described here. SUMMARY

[0055] As Figure 1The embodiment of the present application provides a semiconductor dielectric layer structure, which comprises a semiconductor substrate, the surface of the semiconductor substrate is provided with an epitaxial layer 1, the epitaxial layer 1 is provided with a plurality of grooves, the surface of the epitaxial layer 1 is provided with a first thermal oxidation layer 2, the grooves are filled with in-situ doped polysilicon 7, a gate oxide layer 6 is formed between the in-situ doped polysilicon 7 and the grooves, the surface of the first thermal oxidation layer 2 adjacent to the grooves is provided with a silicon nitride layer 3, the surface of the silicon nitride layer 3 is provided with a second thermal oxidation layer 5, the surface of the second thermal oxidation layer 5 is provided with a deposited oxide layer 8, the deposited oxide layer 8, the thermal oxidation layer 5, the silicon nitride layer 3 at the bottom of the thermal oxidation layer 5 and a part of the first thermal oxidation layer 2 are hollowed out to form a contact hole, the bottom end of the contact hole extends to the surface of the epitaxial layer 1, the top of the epitaxial layer 1 is exposed, and the bottom end edge of the bottom of the contact hole extends to the in-situ doped polysilicon 7, the gate oxide layer 6 of the inner wall of the groove is exposed, the filling height of the polysilicon in the groove in the contact hole area is 0-20nm below the top surface interface of the epitaxial layer, and the filling height of the polysilicon in the groove outside the contact hole area is within the thickness range of the silicon nitride layer. Compared with the prior art, the semiconductor dielectric layer structure is based on the deposited oxide layer 8, the thermal oxidation layer 5, the silicon nitride layer 3 at the bottom of the thermal oxidation layer 5 and a part of the first thermal oxidation layer 2 which are hollowed out to form a contact hole, the bottom end of the contact hole extends to the surface of the epitaxial layer 1, the top of the epitaxial layer 1 is exposed, and the bottom end edge of the bottom of the contact hole extends to the in-situ doped polysilicon 7, the gate oxide layer 6 of the inner wall of the groove is exposed, which can ensure that the Schottky diode using the semiconductor dielectric layer structure has a relatively ideal contact surface, and the purpose of reducing reverse leakage current is achieved.
[0056] In an embodiment, the thickness of the first thermal oxidation layer 2 is preferably 27-33nm, the thickness of the silicon nitride layer 3 is preferably 180-220nm, the thickness of the second thermal oxidation layer 5 is preferably 549-671nm, and the thickness of the deposited oxide layer 8 is preferably 330-470nm.
[0057] Figure 2 A flowchart of a specific embodiment of the method for manufacturing the semiconductor dielectric layer structure is shown.
[0058] Step one, growing a first thermal oxidation layer 2 with a thickness of 27-33nm on the epitaxial layer 1 of the semiconductor; then depositing a silicon nitride layer 3 with a thickness of 180-220nm on the surface of the first thermal oxidation layer 2; then depositing undoped in-situ polysilicon 4 with a thickness of 549-671nm on the surface of the silicon nitride layer 3, as shown in FIG. 1; finally, completely oxidizing the undoped in-situ polysilicon 4 on the silicon nitride layer 3 to generate a second thermal oxidation layer 5, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 2 Figure 3 As shown. Because the silicon nitride layer 3 effectively blocks oxygen, the thickness of the dielectric layer below the silicon nitride layer 3 remains unchanged; only the undoped in-situ polysilicon 4 is oxidized to form the second thermal oxide layer 5. Typically, the second thermal oxide layer 5 on the silicon nitride layer 3 is obtained through deposition, resulting in a relatively poor quality deposited second thermal oxide layer 5. This invention obtains a high-quality second thermal oxide layer 5 on a high-quality silicon nitride layer by depositing undoped in-situ polysilicon 4 on the silicon nitride layer and then completely oxidizing the undoped in-situ polysilicon 4.
[0059] Step Two, as follows Figure 4 As shown, the trench window is etched into the first thermal oxide layer 2, the silicon nitride layer 3, and the second thermal oxide layer 5 using an etching process. The unetched portion of the second thermal oxide layer 5 will serve as a mask during trench etching. After the window etching is completed, the photoresist 9 is completely removed.
[0060] Step 3, as follows Figure 5 As shown, trenches are etched on epitaxial layer 1 according to the window; as Figure 6 As shown, a thermal oxide layer is generated on the inner wall of each trench as the gate oxide layer 6 of the trench MOS.
[0061] Step 4, as follows Figure 7 As shown, in-situ doped polysilicon 7 is deposited and then etched back for the first time. It is necessary to control the amount of etch back so that the interface of the in-situ doped polysilicon 7 falls within the thickness range of the silicon nitride layer 3.
[0062] Step 5, as follows Figure 8 As shown, an oxide layer 8 with a thickness of 630–770 nm is deposited on the surface of the second thermal oxide layer 5 and the in-situ doped polysilicon 7 after the etch-back process.
[0063] Step Six, as Figure 9 As shown, photoresist 9 is coated and photolithographically formed on the surface of the deposited oxide layer 8, and the resulting photoresist 9 pattern serves as a masking layer for the etching of the contact holes. The contact holes need to be completely etched away from the deposited oxide layer 8, the second thermal oxide layer 5, the deposited silicon nitride, and the thermal oxide layer 2.
[0064] Step 7, as follows Figure 10 As shown, based on the photoresist pattern 9, the oxide layer 8 and the second thermal oxide layer 5 deposited at the corresponding positions are etched by dry etching until the silicon nitride layer 3 and the in-situ doped polysilicon 7 are exposed. Since the silicon nitride layer 3, the in-situ doped polysilicon 7 have a high selectivity to the deposited oxide layer 8 and the second thermal oxide layer 5, the etching endpoint can be easily placed at the interface between the deposited silicon nitride layer 3 and the in-situ doped polysilicon 7.
[0065] Step 8, as Figure 11As shown, the photoresist 9 is removed completely; the in-situ doped polysilicon 7 is etched back for the second time by dry etching until the surface of the in-situ doped polysilicon 7 is within 20 nm below the interface, the first thermal oxide layer 2 under the silicon nitride layer 3 is exposed, and the in-situ doped polysilicon left finally is used as the filling material of the trench and the gate contact material of the trench MOS, as shown in Figure 12 The interface refers to the top surface of the epitaxial layer 1.
[0066] Step nine, as shown in Figure 13 , the silicon nitride layer 3 in the contact hole is etched by wet etching, and finally as shown in Figure 1 , the first thermal oxide layer 2 in the contact hole is etched until the epitaxial layer 1 is exposed, obtaining the semiconductor medium layer structure. When the silicon nitride layer 3 is etched by wet etching, hot phosphoric acid is used for wet etching to ensure that the deposited oxide layer 8 and the in-situ doped polysilicon 7 will not be etched. The thickness uniformity of the first thermal oxide layer 2 is good, and the wet etching is controlled within 120% to ensure that the first thermal oxide layer 2 on the surface of the semiconductor is etched completely. The thickness of the deposited oxide layer 8 will also be lost by about 300 nm. And because the semiconductor surface is finally exposed by wet etching, a relatively ideal surface state can be ensured, achieving the purpose of reducing reverse leakage current.
[0067] It should be noted that the wet etching of the first thermal oxide layer 2 is controlled to be 120%, which means that the wet etching time is controlled according to 120% of the thickness of the first thermal oxide layer 2.
[0068] The semiconductor medium layer structure disclosed in the present application forms a contact hole based on the deposited oxide layer 8, the second thermal oxide layer 5, the silicon nitride layer 3 at the bottom of the second thermal oxide layer 5, and part of the first thermal oxide layer 2, and the bottom middle of the contact hole extends to the surface of the epitaxial layer 1, so that the top of the epitaxial layer 1 is exposed, and the bottom edge of the bottom of the contact hole extends to the in-situ doped polysilicon 7, exposing the gate oxide layer 6 of the inner wall of the trench, which can ensure that the Schottky diode using the semiconductor medium layer structure has a relatively ideal contact surface, achieving the purpose of reducing reverse leakage current.
[0069] Each embodiment in the specification is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the difference from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between each embodiment can be referred to each other. For the device disclosed in the embodiments, since it corresponds to the method disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the related parts can be referred to the method part.
