Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor device technology, and in particular to a transistor and its fabrication method. Background Technology
[0002] To meet the demands of semiconductor device miniaturization, the size of semiconductor devices continues to shrink. Current transistors are typically planar layer transistors, with the source and drain electrodes fabricated through etching processes. The channel length is determined by the horizontal length of the gate or the horizontal distance between the source and drain electrodes. Therefore, during the etching process, the smaller the transistor size, the more significantly the distance between the source and drain electrodes is affected by the etching precision, resulting in lower accuracy of the channel length. This leads to poorer transistor stability, making it difficult to adapt to the miniaturization requirements of semiconductor devices. Summary of the Invention

[0048] The embodiments will now be described in detail, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described below do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. They are merely examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the claims. In the several embodiments provided in this application, it should be understood that the disclosed apparatus and methods can also be implemented in other ways, and the apparatus embodiments described below are merely exemplary. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0049] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a transistor provided for an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a transistor 100, including: a substrate layer 110; a first electrode 120 disposed on one side of the substrate layer 110; a second electrode 130 disposed on the side of the first electrode 120 away from the substrate layer 110; and an active layer 140 disposed between the first electrode 120 and the second electrode 130. The active layer 140 includes a first structural portion 141, a second structural portion 142, and a third structural portion 143. The first structural portion 141 is electrically connected to the first electrode 120, the third structural portion 143 is electrically connected to the second electrode 130, and the second structural portion 142 is connected between the first structural portion 141 and the third structural portion 143. The first structural portion 141, the second structural portion 142, and the third structural portion 143 form a first groove structure. The opening of the first groove structure faces a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first electrode. For example, the first electrode 120 and the second electrode 130 can serve as the source and drain of the transistor, and the active layer can be used to form a channel. The first gate 150 is disposed within the first groove structure, and the first gate 150 is insulated from the active layer 140.
[0050] For example, a first insulating layer is disposed between the first gate and the active layer. The first insulating layer may be disposed within a first recess structure, and the first gate may also be disposed on the side of the first insulating layer away from the second structure portion, and the orthogonal projection of the first gate on the substrate may not overlap with the orthogonal projection of at least one of the first electrode, the second electrode, and the active layer on the substrate.
[0051] By vertically arranging the first electrode, second electrode, and active layer of a transistor, and setting the active layer as a first groove structure with a first gate disposed within the groove structure, the contact area between the active layer and the first gate can be increased. This allows for a further increase in channel length, improving carrier mobility in the active layer. It also increases the contact area between the active layer and the source and drain electrodes, enhancing conductivity between the source / drain electrodes and the active layer, thereby improving transistor performance. The channel length of the transistor is less affected by the contact area between the source / drain electrodes and the active layer. Therefore, the short-channel effect can be suppressed by increasing the thickness of the second structure, and the transistor volume can be reduced by decreasing the surface area of at least one of the first electrode, second electrode, first structure, and second structure, thus reducing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the first electrode, second electrode, and active layer can be directly fabricated using more controllable processes such as thin-film growth, improving the accuracy of the channel length and facilitating transistor size reduction to meet the miniaturization requirements of semiconductor devices.
[0052] In some feasible implementations, the transistor further includes:
[0053] The second groove structure penetrates the second electrode, and one end of the second groove structure near the substrate abuts against the side of the first electrode away from the substrate. The sidewall of the second groove structure is connected to the second structural part.
[0054] A second gate is provided within the second groove structure. The second gate is insulated from the active layer and from the first electrode.
[0055] For example, a second insulating layer is disposed between the second gate and the active layer. One end of the second insulating layer covers the side of the second electrode away from the substrate layer, and the other end of the second insulating layer covers the side of the first electrode away from the substrate layer. The orthogonal projection of the second electrode on the substrate layer falls on the orthogonal projection of the first electrode on the substrate layer.
[0056] Figure 2 This is a schematic structural diagram of another transistor provided in an embodiment of this application. (See diagram below.) Figure 2 As shown, the transistor includes a substrate layer 210, a first electrode 220, a second electrode 230, and an active layer 240, wherein the active layer 240 includes a first structural portion 241, a second structural portion 242, a third structural portion 243, a first gate 250, and a second gate 260.
[0057] A second gate is disposed within the second recessed structure, which, together with the first gate, forms a dual-gate transistor. Since the transistor generates an electric field by applying a voltage to the gate, the carrier concentration within the channel can be controlled by this electric field, thereby enabling control of the transistor's on / off states. Therefore, compared to a single-gate transistor, the dual-gate transistor has a larger channel region. When an electric field is generated by applying a voltage, the control force of the electric field on the carriers can be effectively improved, thus enhancing the transistor's gate control capability, mitigating short-channel effects, and ultimately improving the transistor's practicality and conductivity.
[0058] In some feasible implementations, the active layer includes a first active layer and a second active layer, and the orthographic projections of the first active layer and the second active layer onto the substrate layer do not overlap.
[0059] The second electrode includes a first sub-electrode and a second sub-electrode, and the orthogonal projections of the first sub-electrode and the second sub-electrode onto the substrate layer do not overlap.
[0060] For example, the first gate includes a first sub-gate and a second sub-gate. The first active layer and the second active layer belong to the first transistor and the second transistor, respectively.
[0061] For example, Figure 3 This is a schematic structural diagram of yet another transistor provided in an embodiment of this application. (See diagram below.) Figure 3 As shown, the transistor includes a substrate layer 310, a first electrode 320, a first sub-electrode 331, a second sub-electrode 332, a first active layer 341, a second active layer 342, a first sub-gate 351, a second sub-gate 352, and a second gate 360.
[0062] It is understandable that, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second groove structure is disposed between two transistors to connect them and provide insulation between them. When at least two transistors are disposed on the same substrate layer, the distance between them can be reduced, thus meeting the miniaturization requirements of semiconductor devices. At least two transistors can be connected via this interconnection method, allowing them to share a first electrode and a second gate. Therefore, during fabrication, only the first electrode and second gate need to be fabricated once, reducing fabrication difficulty, simplifying fabrication steps, improving fabrication efficiency, reducing fabrication costs, and enhancing the practicality of the transistors.
[0063] In some feasible implementations, the orthogonal projection of the active layer onto the substrate surrounds the orthogonal projection of the second groove structure onto the substrate.
[0064] Figure 4 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of a transistor provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4As shown in the cross-sectional view of the transistor, it includes a substrate layer 410, a first electrode 420, a second electrode 430, an active layer 440, a first gate 450, and a second gate 460.
[0065] For example, the orthogonal projection of the active layer onto the substrate can partially surround the orthogonal projection of the second recess structure onto the substrate. The shape of the transistor can be changed by altering the way the active layer surrounds the second recess structure, and / or by changing the shape of the second recess structure, thereby increasing the diversity of transistor shapes to adapt to different semiconductor devices.
[0066] For example, the size of the transistor can be adjusted by changing the shape of the second gate within the second recessed structure. For instance, the second gate can be a columnar structure or a recessed structure. A columnar structure occupies less space than a recessed structure; therefore, the size of the transistor can be reduced by setting the second gate to a columnar structure. However, a recessed structure has a larger contact area with the active layer; therefore, the control capability of the second gate over the transistor can be increased by using a recessed structure.
[0067] For example, by increasing the projected area of the second gate on the second electrode, the contact area between the second gate and the active layer can be increased, thereby improving the control capability of the second gate over the carriers in the active layer and improving the gate control capability and performance of the transistor.
[0068] By surrounding the active layer with the second groove structure, the carriers in the entire active layer can be controlled solely through the second gate within the second groove structure. This reduces the volume of the second gate, saves on its fabrication cost, meets the requirements for miniaturization of semiconductor devices, and increases the diversity of transistor shapes to adapt to the structures of different semiconductor devices.
[0069] In some feasible implementations, one end of the second gate covers the side of the first sub-electrode away from the substrate, and the other end of the second gate covers the side of the second sub-electrode away from the substrate.
[0070] Figure 5 This is a schematic structural diagram of another transistor provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 Based on Figure 4 The provided transistor features an improvement on the second gate. The transistor includes a substrate layer 510, a first electrode 520, a second electrode 530, an active layer 540, a first gate 550, and a second gate 560.
[0071] By covering the first and second sub-electrodes on the side away from the substrate, the overlap area of the orthogonal projection of the second gate onto the substrate and the orthogonal projection of the third structure onto the substrate can be increased. This increases the contact area between the second gate and the active layer, enhances the control of the second gate over the carriers in the active layer, improves the gate control capability of the transistor, alleviates the short-channel effect, and ultimately improves the practicality and conductivity of the transistor.
[0072] In some feasible implementations, the transistor further includes:
[0073] The second gate covers the side surface of the second structure in the vertical direction.
[0074] Figure 6 This is a schematic structural diagram of a transistor provided for an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the transistor includes a substrate layer 610, a first electrode 620, a second electrode 630, an active layer 640, a first gate 650, and a second gate 660.
[0075] By covering the side surface of the second structure in the vertical direction with the second gate, a dual-gate transistor can be formed together with the first gate. Compared with a single-gate transistor, the channel region of a dual-gate transistor is larger. When an electric field is formed by applying a voltage, the control force of the electric field on the charge carriers can be effectively improved, thereby improving the gate control capability of the transistor, mitigating the short-channel effect, and thus improving the practicality and conductivity of the transistor.
[0076] In some feasible implementations, the first gate includes a fourth structural portion, a fifth structural portion, and a sixth structural portion. The fourth structural portion is disposed on the side of the first structural portion away from the substrate layer, the sixth structural portion is disposed on the side of the third structural portion away from the second electrode, and the fifth structural portion is connected between the fourth structural portion and the sixth structural portion. The fourth structural portion, the fifth structural portion, and the sixth structural portion form a third groove structure, and the opening of the third groove structure faces a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first electrode.
[0077] An insulating layer is disposed between the first gate and the active layer.
[0078] Figure 7 This is a schematic structural diagram of another transistor provided in an embodiment of this application. (See diagram below.) Figure 7 As shown, the transistor includes a substrate layer 710, a first electrode 720, a second electrode 730, and an active layer 740, wherein the active layer 740 includes a first structural portion 741, a second structural portion 742, and a third structural portion 743, and a first gate 750, wherein the first gate 750 includes a fourth structural portion 751, a fifth structural portion 752, and a sixth structural portion 753.
[0079] By setting the first gate as a third groove structure, the contact area between the first gate and the active layer can be further increased, thereby expanding the channel region, accelerating the channel formation speed, improving the gate control capability of the transistor, and thus improving the practicality of the transistor.
[0080] Figure 8 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for fabricating a transistor, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 8 As shown in the embodiments of this application, a method for fabricating a transistor is also provided, comprising:
[0081] Step S810: Sequentially deposit a first electrode and a second electrode on one side of the substrate layer;
[0082] Step S820: An active layer is provided between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the active layer includes a first structural portion, a second structural portion and a third structural portion, the first structural portion is electrically connected to the first electrode, the third structural portion is electrically connected to the second electrode, the second structural portion is connected between the first structural portion and the third structural portion, the first structural portion, the second structural portion and the third structural portion form a first groove structure, and the opening of the first groove structure faces a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first electrode.
[0083] Step S830: A first gate is disposed in the first groove structure, and the first gate is insulated from the active layer.
[0084] The transistor fabrication method involves vertically arranging the first electrode, second electrode, and active layer, with the active layer configured as a first recessed structure and the first gate disposed within this recessed structure. This increases the contact area between the active layer and the first gate, thereby further increasing the channel length and improving carrier mobility in the active layer. It also increases the contact area between the active layer and the source and drain electrodes, enhancing conductivity between the source / drain electrodes and the active layer, thus improving transistor performance. The channel length is less affected by the contact area between the source / drain electrodes and the active layer, allowing for the suppression of short-channel effects by increasing the thickness of the second structure. Furthermore, reducing the surface area of at least one of the first electrode, second electrode, first structure, and second structure can decrease the transistor's size and fabrication cost. Moreover, the first electrode, second electrode, and active layer can be fabricated directly using more controllable processes such as thin-film growth, improving the accuracy of the channel length and facilitating transistor size reduction to meet the miniaturization requirements of semiconductor devices.
[0085] In some feasible implementations, an active layer is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, including:
[0086] A first insulating layer is disposed on the side of the first electrode away from the substrate layer;
[0087] A second electrode layer is disposed on the side of the insulating layer away from the substrate layer;
[0088] At least a portion of the second electrode layer and at least a portion of the insulating layer are removed sequentially to obtain a second electrode and an insulating structure;
[0089] Remove the insulation structure;
[0090] An active layer structure is placed at the location of the insulation structure;
[0091] A portion of the active layer structure is removed to form a first groove structure, and the opening of the first groove structure faces a direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first electrode.
[0092] For example, at least a portion of the second electrode layer and at least a portion of the insulating layer can be removed sequentially by an etching process. The insulating structure can be photoresist, and the insulating structure can be removed by dissolving the photoresist. The active layer structure, the first gate dielectric layer, and the first gate can be prepared sequentially by a thin-film deposition process that maintains the three-dimensional morphology, for example, an atomic layer deposition process. The first gate, the first gate dielectric layer, and the active layer structure can be removed sequentially by a directional etching process to obtain an active layer with a first groove structure.
[0093] First, an insulating structure is prepared to occupy space for the active layer structure, which makes it easier to set the thickness of the active layer. Since the second electrode is a metal electrode, it is usually set by magnetron sputtering. Therefore, setting the active layer after the second electrode is set can avoid the large energy carried by metal atoms falling into the surface of the active layer when the second electrode is set on the side of the active layer away from the substrate, which can easily cause interface state defects. This can improve the integrity of the interface between the active layer and the second electrode, thereby improving the conductivity and practicality of the transistor.
[0094] In some feasible implementations, the method further includes the following steps prior to the removal of the insulation structure:
[0095] A second groove structure is provided, which penetrates the second electrode, and the end of the second groove structure near the substrate abuts against the side of the first electrode away from the substrate. The sidewall of the second groove structure is connected to the second structural part.
[0096] A second insulating layer is provided within the second groove structure;
[0097] A second gate is disposed within the second groove structure, and a second insulating layer is spaced between the second gate and the first electrode.
[0098] By first setting the second groove structure, the positions of the first and second electrodes can be fixed before the insulation structure is removed, preventing the second electrode from shifting without support and avoiding the second electrode from shifting during the fabrication of the active layer. This would reduce the controllability of the transistor's channel length, thereby improving the accuracy of the transistor's channel length and enhancing the effectiveness and practicality of the fabrication method.
[0099] For example, Figure 9 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating another method for fabricating a transistor according to an embodiment of this application.

A second insulating layer is disposed on the surfaces of the first electrode 920 and the second electrode 930 away from the substrate 910, and on the side surfaces of the insulating structure in the thickness direction. A second gate 960 is disposed on the side of the second insulating layer away from the insulating structure. The insulating structure is removed, and an active layer structure is disposed within the region of the insulating structure.

A second insulating layer is disposed on the surface of the first electrode, the first electrode, and the first sub-electrode away from the substrate layer, and on the side surface of the insulating structure in the thickness direction. A second gate 1060 is disposed on the side of the second insulating layer away from the insulating structure.
