Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductors, and more particularly to a hybrid conduction mechanism gate-around transistor and its fabrication method. Background Technology
[0002] Since the birth of integrated circuits, microelectronic integration technology has been developing according to Moore's Law. With the shrinking size of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) field-effect transistors (FETs), the switching speed, density, functionality, and cost of microprocessors have significantly improved. However, device power consumption remains one of the major challenges in the miniaturization process. The main technical approach to reducing device power consumption is to enhance the gate control capability. Following fin transistors, gate-all-around nanowire / nanosheet FETs have become the next-generation mainstream logic device structure due to their superior channel gate control capability. Due to process variations, gate-all-around nanowire devices suffer from severe parasitic channel leakage at the bottom. Suppressing off-state leakage current has become one of the key challenges in optimizing gate-all-around devices.
[0003] Another effective way to reduce device power consumption is to decrease the supply voltage VDD. Traditional MOSFET devices have a theoretical limit of 60mV / dec at room temperature due to the thermodynamic distribution of kT / q, which prevents ULSI chips based on traditional MOSFETs from continuously reducing the supply voltage. Tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) have become one of the most promising devices for future ultra-low power integrated circuit applications due to their excellent subthreshold characteristics, low off-state leakage current, and low switching power consumption. Because their conduction mechanism is quantum mechanical band-to-band tunneling, tunneling transistors are not limited by thermodynamic temperature, and their subthreshold swing can break the 60mV / dec limit at room temperature. Therefore, developing a transistor that can effectively suppress bottom leakage current while significantly improving the device's subthreshold characteristics has become a key technical focus that those skilled in the art urgently need to address.

[0065] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0066] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0067] Since the birth of integrated circuits, microelectronic integration technology has been developing according to Moore's Law. With the shrinking size of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) field-effect transistors (FETs), the switching speed, density, functionality, and cost of microprocessors have significantly improved. However, device power consumption remains one of the major challenges in the miniaturization process. The main technical approach to reducing device power consumption is to enhance the gate control capability. Following fin transistors, gate-all-around nanowire / nanosheet FETs have become the next-generation mainstream logic device structure due to their superior channel gate control capability. Due to process variations, gate-all-around nanowire devices suffer from severe parasitic channel leakage at the bottom. Suppressing off-state leakage current has become one of the key challenges in optimizing gate-all-around devices.
[0068] Another effective way to reduce device power consumption is to decrease the supply voltage VDD. Traditional MOSFET devices have a theoretical limit of 60mV / dec at room temperature due to the thermodynamic distribution of kT / q, which prevents ULSI chips based on traditional MOSFETs from continuously reducing the supply voltage. Tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs), with their excellent subthreshold characteristics, low off-state leakage current, and low switching power consumption, have become one of the most promising devices for future ultra-low power integrated circuit applications. Because their conduction mechanism is quantum mechanical band-to-band tunneling, which is not limited by thermodynamic temperature, the subthreshold swing of TFETs can break the 60mV / dec limit at room temperature.
[0069] In view of this, the inventors of this application have added a source region and a drain region to the bottom parasitic channel to form a structure similar to a tunneling transistor at the bottom of the gate-all-around nanowire / nanosheet field-effect transistor; the new structure of the hybrid conduction mechanism gate-all-around field-effect transistor combining the tunneling transistor and the gate-all-around nanowire / nanosheet field-effect transistor can effectively suppress the bottom leakage current and at the same time significantly improve the subthreshold characteristics of the device.
[0070] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.
[0071] Please refer to Figures 1-6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a hybrid conduction mechanism gate-around transistor is provided, comprising:
[0072] A gate-all-around MOSFET device includes a substrate 101, a first source region 102, and a first drain region 103; the first source region 102 and the first drain region 103 are arranged along a first direction; wherein the first source region 102 and the first drain region 103 are doped with first ions; wherein the first direction is characterized as a direction parallel to the substrate 101.
[0073] A second source region 104 and a second drain region 105 are formed between the substrate 101 and the first source region 102, and the second drain region 105 is formed between the substrate 101 and the first drain region 103. The height of the second source region 104 and the second drain region 105 is not lower than the height of the substrate 101 between the first source region 102 and the first drain region 103.
[0074] In this configuration, the second drain region 105 is doped with a first ion, and the second source region 104 is doped with a second ion, wherein the type of the first ion is different from the type of the second ion, such as... Figure 1 As shown.
[0075] The second source region and the second drain region can both be a single structural layer or multiple structural layers; the present invention is not limited to these.
[0076] The present invention provides a hybrid conduction mechanism gate-all-around transistor. Compared with existing gate-all-around MOSFET devices, a second source region and a second drain region are respectively disposed between the first source region and the substrate, and between the first drain region and the substrate. The second drain region is doped with a first ion, and the second source region is doped with a second ion. The types of the first ions and the second ions are different. In the off state, a reverse bias PIN channel is formed at the bottom. This structure can significantly suppress the bottom parasitic channel leakage current of traditional gate-all-around MOSFET devices, thereby enhancing the current switching ratio of the device.
[0077] Furthermore, the hybrid conduction mechanism gate-all-around transistor structure provided by this invention, due to the addition of a second source region and a second drain region, is equivalent to a parallel tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET) structure of a conventional gate-all-around MOSFET device. Therefore, in the on-state, the gate-all-around channel diffusion drift current and the bottom channel quantum mechanical band tunneling current can be mixed and conducted, thereby achieving an ultra-steep switching characteristic of less than 60mV / dec for the entire device. At the same time, in the on-state, the gate-all-around MOSFET device connected in parallel above conducts, providing a large current to the device.
[0078] In one embodiment, the first ion is a P-type ion or an N-type ion.
[0079] In one embodiment, the second ion is a P-type ion or an N-type ion.
[0080] Specifically, the P-type ions are: hydrides, fluorides, or chlorides of boron, specifically one or a combination of the following materials: B2H6, B4H10, B6H10, B10H14, B18H22, BF3, or BCl3; the N-type ions are: hydrides and fluorides of phosphorus and arsenic, specifically one or a combination of the following materials: phosphine, arsine, phosphorus pentafluoride, phosphorus trifluoride, arsenic pentafluoride, or arsenic trifluoride.
[0081] The channel region and the bottom Fin region (i.e., the substrate 101 between the second source region 104 and the second drain region 105) are undoped or lightly doped i-regions;
[0082] For the N-type device, the first source region 102 is N-type doped with a doping concentration of approximately 1E18cm⁻³-1E22cm⁻³, the first drain region 103 is N-type doped with a doping concentration of approximately 1E18cm⁻³-1E22cm⁻³, the second source region 104 is P-type doped with a doping concentration of approximately 1E18cm⁻³-1E22cm⁻³, and the second drain region 105 is N-type doped with a doping concentration of approximately 1E16cm⁻³-1E21cm⁻³.
[0083] For the P-type device, the first source region 102 is P-type doped with a doping concentration of approximately 1E18cm⁻³-1E22cm⁻³, the first drain region 103 is P-type doped with a doping concentration of approximately 1E18cm⁻³-1E20cm⁻³, the second source region 104 is N-type doped with a doping concentration of approximately 1E18cm⁻³-1E22cm⁻³, and the second drain region 105 is P-type doped with a doping concentration of approximately 1E16cm⁻³-1E21cm⁻³.
[0084] In the hybrid conduction mechanism gate-all-around transistor, the thickness and doping concentration of the second source and second drain regions are important parameters for device design. If the thickness of the second source or second drain region is too thin, the bottom tunneling field-effect transistor has a small impact on the total current, and the improvement on the subthreshold swing characteristics of the device is limited; if the thickness of the second source or second drain region is too thick, it will increase the difficulty of the process and lead to a decrease in device consistency and reliability. The doping concentration of the second source region cannot be too low. If the doping concentration is too low, the resistance of the second source region will increase, and the lower doping will reduce the tunneling probability of the bottom tunneling transistor, making band-to-band tunneling more difficult and the current will decrease. The doping concentration of the second drain region also needs to be controlled within a certain range. If the doping concentration is too low, the resistance of the bottom drain region will increase and the current will decrease; if the doping concentration is too high, the channel bipolar effect of the TFET device will be more significant. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the second source region 104 and / or the second drain region 105 is 5nm-50nm. In a preferred embodiment, the doped ion concentration in the second source region 104 and / or the second drain region 105 is 1E16cm-3-1E22cm-3.

[0091] Source metal layer 111, gate metal layer 110 and drain metal layer 109;
[0092] In one embodiment, the source metal layer 111 and the drain metal layer 109 are respectively formed on the surfaces of the first source region 102 and the first drain region 103, and respectively completely cover the first source region 102 and the first drain region 103; the gate metal layer 110 is formed on the top of the control gate 108;
[0093] Since the additional parasitic resistance from the second source / drain region leads is detrimental to the steep subthreshold swing characteristics of the device, in a preferred embodiment, the source metal layer 111 and the drain metal layer 109 are respectively formed on the surfaces of the first source region 102 and the first drain region 103, and respectively completely enclose the first source region 102 and the second source region 104 and the first drain region 103 and the second drain region 105; the gate metal layer 110 is formed on the top of the control gate 108; the interlayer dielectric layer 112 covers the surfaces of the source metal layer 111, the gate metal layer 110, the drain metal layer 109, and the inner sidewall 114;
[0094] The metal contact layer 113 penetrates the interlayer dielectric layer 112 and is connected to the source metal layer 111, the gate metal layer 110 and the drain metal layer 109 respectively.
