[0019] Fig.11 and Fig.12 are other various cross-sectional views for describing semiconductor devices according to some example embodiments.

[0020] Figure 13 to Figure 43 are diagrams for describing intermediate steps of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to example embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The terms "first", "second", etc. are used herein to describe various elements or components, but these elements or components are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element or component from another element or component. Therefore, within the technical spirit of the present disclosure, the first element or component mentioned below can be a second element or component.

[0022] In addition, in this specification, the term "same" is intended to include not only completely the same meaning but also slight differences that may occur due to a margin in a process or the like.

[0023] In other words, although the terms "same", "equal" or "identical" are used in the description of the example embodiments, it should be understood that some imprecision may exist. Therefore, when one element is referred to as being the same as another element, it should be understood that the element or value is the same as the other element within a desired manufacturing or operating tolerance range (e.g., ±10%).

[0024] When the term "about" or "substantially" is used in conjunction with a numerical value in this specification, the associated numerical value is intended to include a manufacturing or operating tolerance (e.g., ±10%) around the numerical value. In addition, when the words "about" and "substantially" are used in conjunction with a geometric shape, it is intended that the accuracy of the geometric shape is not required, but the tolerance for the shape is within the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, regardless of whether a numerical value or shape is modified to "about" or "substantially", it should be understood that these values ​​and shapes should be interpreted as including a manufacturing or operating tolerance (e.g., ±10%) around the numerical value or shape.

[0025] As used herein, expressions such as "at least one" preceding a list of elements modify the entire list of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the list. Thus, for example, "at least one of A, B, or C" and "at least one of A, B, and C" both mean A, B, C, or any combination thereof. Likewise, A and / or B means A, B, or A and B.

[0026] In the following, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 12 Semiconductor devices according to some example embodiments are described.

[0027] Figure 1 is a layout diagram for describing a semiconductor device according to example embodiments. Figure 2 is along Figure 1 A cross-sectional view taken along line AA. Figure 3 Is used to describe Figure 2 Magnified view of regions R1 and R2. Figure 4 is along Figure 1 A cross-sectional view taken along line BB. Figure 5 is along Figure 1 Cross-sectional view taken along line CC.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , a semiconductor device according to example embodiments may include a substrate 100, a first active pattern AP1, a second active pattern AP2, a first insulating pattern 104, a second insulating pattern 204, a field insulating film 106, a wall structure 102, a first seed layer 122, a second seed layer 222, a first two-dimensional (2D) channel layer 124, a second 2D channel layer 224, a first gate structure GS1, a second gate structure GS2, a first gate spacer 140, a second gate spacer 240, a first source / drain pattern 160, a second source / drain pattern 260, an interlayer insulating film 180, a first gate contact CB1, and a second gate contact CB2.

[0029] The substrate 100 may be bulk silicon or silicon on insulator (SOI). Different from this, the substrate 100 may also be a silicon substrate, or may also include other materials, such as silicon germanium, silicon germanium on insulator (SGOI), indium antimonide, lead telluride, indium arsenide, indium phosphide, gallium arsenide, or gallium antimonide. In some example embodiments, the substrate 100 may also have an epitaxial layer formed on a base substrate. For ease of explanation, in the following description, the substrate 100 will be described as a silicon substrate.

[0030] The substrate 100 may include a first region I and a second region II. The first region I and the second region II may be regions separated from each other around a wall structure 102 described later. For example, the wall structure 102 may extend in a first direction X parallel to the upper surface of the substrate 100, and the first region I and the second region II may be arranged along a second direction Y intersecting the first direction X with the wall structure 102 as the center. That is, the first region I may be a region of the substrate 100 defined on one side of the wall structure 102, and the second region II may be a region of the substrate 100 defined on the other side of the wall structure 102.

[0031] In some example embodiments, transistors of different conductivity types may be formed in the first region I and the second region II, respectively. As an example, the first region I may be an NFET region, and the second region II may be a PFET region. As another example, the first region I may be a PFET region, and the second region II may be an NFET region. However, the inventive concepts of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and transistors of the same conductivity type may be formed in the first region I and the second region II.

[0032] The first active pattern AP1 may be formed on the first region I of the substrate 100. The first active pattern AP1 may extend along the first direction X. The first active pattern AP1 may include a plurality of first bridge patterns (e.g., first to fourth sheet patterns 111 to 114) which are sequentially stacked on the upper surface of the substrate 100 and spaced apart from each other to each extend along the first direction X. The first active pattern AP1 may be provided as a channel region of a multi-bridge channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MBCFET) including a multi-bridge channel. Although four bridge patterns are shown as included in the first active pattern AP1, this is merely an example, and the number of bridge patterns included in the first active pattern AP1 is not limited thereto.

[0033] In some example embodiments, a first fin pattern 110 may be formed between the substrate 100 and the first active pattern AP1. The first fin pattern 110 may protrude from an upper surface of the substrate 100 and extend in the first direction X. The first fin pattern 110 may also be formed by etching a portion of the substrate 100, or may also be an epitaxial layer grown from the substrate 100. The first bridge patterns 111 to 114 may be sequentially stacked on an upper surface of the first fin pattern 110.

[0034] The second active pattern AP2 may be formed on the second region II of the substrate 100. The second active pattern AP2 may extend in the first direction X. The second active pattern AP2 may include a plurality of second bridge patterns (e.g., the fifth to eighth sheet patterns 211 to 214) sequentially stacked on the upper surface of the substrate 100 and spaced apart from each other to each extend in the first direction X. The second active pattern AP2 may be provided to include a plurality of bridge channels. Although four bridge patterns are shown as included in the second active pattern AP2, this is only an example, and the number of bridge patterns included in the second active pattern AP2 is not limited thereto.

[0035] In some example embodiments, the second fin pattern 210 may be formed between the substrate 100 and the second active pattern AP2. The second fin pattern 210 may protrude from the upper surface of the substrate 100 and extend in the first direction X. The second fin pattern 210 may also be formed by etching a portion of the substrate 100, or may also be an epitaxial layer grown from the substrate 100. The second bridge patterns 211 to 214 may be sequentially stacked on the upper surface of the second fin pattern 210.

[0036] Only in Figure 2 2 shows that the width of the first active pattern AP1 and / or the width of the second active pattern AP2 may be constant in a vertical direction (e.g., a third direction Z) intersecting the upper surface of the substrate 100, but this is only an example. Depending on the characteristics of the etching process (or patterning process) used to form the first active pattern AP1 and the second active pattern AP2, the width of the first active pattern AP1 and / or the width of the second active pattern AP2 may decrease as the distance from the substrate 100 increases.

[0037] Each of the first active pattern AP1 and the second active pattern AP2 may include silicon (Si) or germanium (Ge) as an elemental semiconductor material. In some example embodiments, each of the first active pattern AP1 and the second active pattern AP2 may include a compound semiconductor, for example, a group IV-IV compound semiconductor or a group III-V compound semiconductor. The group IV-IV compound semiconductor may be, for example, a binary compound or a ternary compound including at least two or more of carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), and tin (Sn), or a compound obtained by doping carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), and tin (Sn) with a group IV element. The group III-V compound semiconductor may be, for example, one of a binary compound, a ternary compound, or a quaternary compound formed by combining at least one of aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), or indium (In) as a group III element with at least one of phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), or antimony (Sb) as a group V element. For ease of explanation, in the following description, the first active pattern AP1 and the second active pattern AP2 will both be described as silicon (Si) patterns.

[0038] In some example embodiments, the first active pattern AP1 and the second active pattern AP2 may be disposed at the same level as each other. Here, being disposed at the same level means being disposed at the same height as each other relative to the upper surface of the substrate 100. For example, as shown in the figure, each of the first bridge patterns 111 to 114 and the corresponding second bridge pattern of the second bridge patterns 211 to 214 may be disposed at the same height.

[0039] In some example embodiments, the first active pattern AP1 and the second active pattern AP2 may be formed at the same level as each other. In this specification, being formed at the same level means being formed by the same manufacturing process. For example, the first active pattern AP1 and the second active pattern AP2 may be made of the same material and / or the same material composition.

[0040] The first insulating pattern 104 may be interposed between the substrate 100 and the first active pattern AP1. For example, the first insulating pattern 104 may be interposed between the first fin pattern 110 and a bridge pattern (e.g., the first sheet pattern 111) disposed at the lowermost portion among the first bridge patterns 111 to 114. The first insulating pattern 104 may extend along the first direction X. The first active pattern AP1 may be electrically separated from the substrate 100 and / or the first fin pattern 110 by the first insulating pattern 104.

[0041] The second insulating pattern 204 may be interposed between the substrate 100 and the second active pattern AP2. For example, the second insulating pattern 204 may be interposed between the second fin pattern 210 and a bridge pattern (e.g., the fifth sheet pattern 211) disposed at the lowermost portion among the second bridge patterns 211 to 214. The second insulating pattern 204 may extend along the first direction X. The second active pattern AP2 may be electrically separated from the substrate 100 and / or the second fin pattern 210 by the second insulating pattern 204.

[0042] Each of the first insulating pattern 104 and the second insulating pattern 204 may include, for example, at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. For example, each of the first insulating pattern 104 and the second insulating pattern 204 may include a silicon nitride film.

[0043] In some example embodiments, the first insulation pattern 104 and the second insulation pattern 204 may be disposed at the same level as each other. In some example embodiments, the first insulation pattern 104 and the second insulation pattern 204 may be formed at the same level as each other.

[0044] The field insulating film 106 may be formed on the substrate 100. The field insulating film 106 may include, for example, at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or a combination thereof, but example embodiments are not limited thereto. As an example, the field insulating film 106 may include a silicon oxide film.

[0045] In some example embodiments, the field insulating film 106 may cover at least a portion of a side surface of the first fin pattern 110 and at least a portion of a side surface of the second fin pattern 210 . Figure 2204, only the upper surface of the field insulating film 106 is shown to be disposed on the same plane as the upper surface of the first insulating pattern 104 and the upper surface of the second insulating pattern 204, but this is only an example. According to some example embodiments, the top surface of the field insulating film 106 may also be formed to be lower than the upper surface of the first insulating pattern 104 and the upper surface of the second insulating pattern 204, and may also be formed to be higher than the upper surface of the first insulating pattern 104 and the upper surface of the second insulating pattern 204.

[0046] The wall structure 102 may be between the first region I and the second region II. The wall structure 102 may extend along the first direction X to separate the first active pattern AP1 and the second active pattern AP2. For example, the wall structure 102 may include a first side surface and a second side surface that intersect the second direction Y and are opposite to each other. The first active pattern AP1 may extend along the first direction X on the first side surface of the wall structure 102, and the second active pattern AP2 may extend along the first direction X on the second side surface of the wall structure 102. In some example embodiments, the first active pattern AP1 may be in contact with the first side surface of the wall structure 102, and the second active pattern AP2 may be in contact with the second side surface of the wall structure 102. The first active pattern AP1 and the second active pattern AP2 separated by the wall structure 102 may be set as a channel region of a fork-sheet field effect transistor (fork-sheet FET).

[0047] The wall structure 102 may include, for example, at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or a combination thereof, but example embodiments are not limited thereto. As an example, the wall structure 102 may include a silicon nitride film. Such a wall structure 102 may be provided as an insulating wall in a fork-chip field effect transistor (a so-called dielectric wall scheme (DWS)).

[0048] Figure 2 102 is shown as being constant in the vertical direction (eg, the third direction Z), but this is only an example. Depending on the characteristics of the etching process (or patterning process) used to form the wall structure 102, the width of the wall structure 102 may increase as the distance from the substrate 100 increases.

[0049] It is shown that only the lower surface of the wall structure 102 is disposed on the same plane as the upper surface of the substrate 100, but this is only an example. As another example, the lower surface of the wall structure 102 may also be formed to be lower than the upper surface of the substrate 100, or may also be formed to be higher than the upper surface of the substrate 100. In some example embodiments, the wall structure 102 may extend along the first direction X to separate the first insulating pattern 104 and the second insulating pattern 204. For example, the lower surface of the wall structure 102 may be formed to be lower than the lower surface of the first insulating pattern 104 and the lower surface of the second insulating pattern 204.

[0050] The first seed layer 122 may be formed between the first bridge patterns 111 to 114 and on the side surface of the wall structure 102. As an example, Figure 3 As shown, the first seed layer 122 may be formed on a first portion of the side surface of the wall structure 102 adjacent to the upper surface of the first sheet pattern 111 and a second portion of the side surface of the wall structure 102 adjacent to the lower surface of the second sheet pattern 112 .

[0051] The first seed layer 122 may include a first surface 122S. The first surface 122S is a surface of the first seed layer 122 that is exposed from the first active pattern AP1 and the wall structure 102 (not in contact with the first active pattern AP1 and the wall structure 102). In some example embodiments, the first surface 122S may include a concave curved surface. This may be due to the characteristics of the etching process used to form the first seed layer 122.

[0052] In some example embodiments, the first seed layer 122 may expose a portion of a side surface of the wall structure 102 between each of the respective adjacent pairs of the first bridge patterns 111 to 114. As an example, the first seed layer 122 adjacent to the upper surface of the first sheet pattern 111 and the first seed layer 122 adjacent to the lower surface of the second sheet pattern 112 may be spaced apart from each other in the third direction Z.

[0053] The second seed layer 222 may be formed between the second bridge patterns 211 to 214 and on the side surface of the wall structure 102. As an example, Figure 3 As shown, the second seed layer 222 may be formed on a first portion of the side surface of the wall structure 102 adjacent to the upper surface of the fifth sheet pattern 211 and a second portion of the side surface of the wall structure 102 adjacent to the lower surface of the sixth sheet pattern 212 .

[0054] The second seed layer 222 may include a second surface 222S. The second surface 222S is a surface of the second seed layer 222 that is exposed from the second active pattern AP2 and the wall structure 102 (not in contact with the second active pattern AP2 and the wall structure 102). In some example embodiments, the second surface 222S may include a concave curved surface. This may be due to the characteristics of the etching process used to form the second seed layer 222.

[0055] In some example embodiments, the second seed layer 222 may expose a portion of the side surface of the wall structure 102 between each of the respective adjacent pairs of the second bridge patterns 211 to 214. As an example, the second seed layer 222 adjacent to the upper surface of the fifth sheet pattern 211 and the second seed layer 222 adjacent to the lower surface of the sixth sheet pattern 212 may be spaced apart from each other in the third direction Z.

[0056] Each of the first seed layer 122 and the second seed layer 222 may include a transition metal element. The transition metal element may include, for example, at least one metal element of molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), niobium (Nb), vanadium (V), tantalum (Ta), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), technetium (Tc), rhenium (Re), or copper (Cu). In some example embodiments, the first seed layer 122 and the second seed layer 222 may include the same transition metal element. As an example, both the first seed layer 122 and the second seed layer 222 may include molybdenum (Mo). As another example, both the first seed layer 122 and the second seed layer 222 may include tungsten (W).

[0057] In some example embodiments, each of the first seed layer 122 and the second seed layer 222 may include an oxide of a transition metal element. As an example, each of the first seed layer 122 and the second seed layer 222 may include molybdenum dioxide (MoO 2 As another example, each of the first seed layer 122 and the second seed layer 222 may include tungsten dioxide (WO 2 ).

[0058] The first 2D channel layer 124 may extend from the first seed layer 122 along the surface of the first active pattern AP1. Figure 3 As shown, the first 2D channel layer 124 may extend from the first seed layer 122 adjacent to the upper surface of the first sheet pattern 111 along the upper surface of the first sheet pattern 111 , and may extend from the first seed layer 122 adjacent to the lower surface of the second sheet pattern 112 along the lower surface of the second sheet pattern 112 .

[0059] The first 2D channel layer 124 may surround at least a portion of a periphery of each of the first bridge patterns 111 to 114 exposed from the wall structure 102 and / or the first insulation pattern 104. In some example embodiments, the first 2D channel layer 124 may not extend along an upper surface of an uppermost bridge pattern (e.g., the fourth sheet pattern 114) among the first bridge patterns 111 to 114. As an example, Figure 2 As shown, the first 2D channel layer 124 can extend along the side surface and upper surface of the first sheet pattern 111, the lower surface, side surface and upper surface of the second sheet pattern 112, the lower surface, side surface and upper surface of the third sheet pattern 113, and the lower surface and side surface of the fourth sheet pattern 114.

[0060] The first 2D channel layer 124 may include a first transition metal dichalcogenide including the transition metal element of the first seed layer 122. For example, the first transition metal dichalcogenide may include a transition metal element of molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), niobium (Nb), vanadium (V), tantalum (Ta), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), technetium (Tc), rhenium (Re), and copper (Cu), and a chalcogen element of sulfur (S), selenium (Se), and tellurium (Te). As an example, when the first seed layer 122 includes molybdenum dioxide (MoO 2 ), the first 2D channel layer 124 may include molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 As another example, when the first seed layer 122 includes tungsten dioxide (WO 2 ), the first 2D channel layer 124 may include tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ).

[0061] The first 2D channel layer 124 may be formed by a crystal growth method using the first seed layer 122 as a seed layer. For example, the first 2D channel layer 124 may be formed by two-dimensionally growing a crystal from the first surface 122S of the first seed layer 122. In some example embodiments, the first 2D channel layer 124 may have a single crystal structure. In some example embodiments, the first 2D channel layer 124 may expose a portion of the first surface 122S.

[0062] In some example embodiments, the first 2D channel layer 124 may be formed to have a thickness of several nanometers (nm) by two-dimensionally growing crystals. For example, the thickness of the first 2D channel layer 124 (eg, Figure 3 T11 and T12 in the figure can be about 10 nm or less.

[0063] In some example embodiments, a portion of the first 2D channel layer 124 may extend along a side surface of the wall structure 102 between each adjacent pair of the first bridge patterns 111 to 114. Figure 3 As shown, the first 2D channel layer 124 may include a first horizontal portion 124L and a first vertical portion 124V. The first horizontal portion 124L may extend from the first seed layer 122 in a horizontal direction (e.g., in the first direction X and / or in the second direction Y) along a surface of the first active pattern AP1. The first vertical portion 124V may extend from the first seed layer 122 in a vertical direction (e.g., in a third direction Z) along a side surface of the wall structure 102.

[0064] Only the thickness T11 of the first horizontal portion 124L and the thickness T12 of the first vertical portion 124V are shown to be the same as each other, but this is only an example, and the thickness T11 of the first horizontal portion 124L and the thickness T12 of the first vertical portion 124V may be different from each other depending on the conditions of the crystal growth method.

[0065] The second 2D channel layer 224 may extend from the second seed layer 222 along the surface of the second active pattern AP2. Figure 3 As shown, the second 2D channel layer 224 may extend from the second seed layer 222 adjacent to the upper surface of the fifth sheet pattern 211 along the upper surface of the fifth sheet pattern 211 , and may extend from the second seed layer 222 adjacent to the lower surface of the sixth sheet pattern 212 along the lower surface of the sixth sheet pattern 212 .

[0066] The second 2D channel layer 224 may surround at least a portion of a periphery of each of the second bridge patterns 211 to 214 exposed from the wall structure 102 and / or the second insulating pattern 204. In some example embodiments, the second 2D channel layer 224 may not extend along an upper surface of an uppermost bridge pattern (e.g., the eighth sheet pattern 214) among the second bridge patterns 211 to 214. As an example, Figure 2 As shown, the second 2D channel layer 224 can extend along the side surface and upper surface of the fifth sheet pattern 211, the lower surface, side surface and upper surface of the sixth sheet pattern 212, the lower surface, side surface and upper surface of the seventh sheet pattern 213, and the lower surface and side surface of the eighth sheet pattern 214.

[0067] The second 2D channel layer 224 may include a second transition metal dichalcogenide including the transition metal element of the second seed layer 222. For example, the second transition metal dichalcogenide may include a transition metal element of molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), niobium (Nb), vanadium (V), tantalum (Ta), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), technetium (Tc), rhenium (Re), and copper (Cu), and a chalcogen element of sulfur (S), selenium (Se), and tellurium (Te). As an example, when the second seed layer 222 includes molybdenum dioxide (MoO 2 ), the second 2D channel layer 224 may include molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 As another example, when the second seed layer 222 includes tungsten dioxide (WO 2 ), the second 2D channel layer 224 may include tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ).

[0068] The second 2D channel layer 224 may be formed by a crystal growth method using the second seed layer 222 as a seed layer. For example, the second 2D channel layer 224 may be formed by two-dimensionally growing crystals from the second surface 222S of the second seed layer 222. In some example embodiments, the second 2D channel layer 224 may have a single crystal structure. In some example embodiments, the second 2D channel layer 224 may expose a portion of the second surface 222S.

[0069] In some example embodiments, the second 2D channel layer 224 may be formed to have a thickness of several nanometers (nm) by two-dimensionally growing crystals. For example, the thickness of the second 2D channel layer 224 (eg, Figure 3 T11 and T12 in the figure can be about 10 nm or less.

[0070] In some example embodiments, a portion of the second 2D channel layer 224 may extend along a side surface of the wall structure 102 between each adjacent pair of the second bridge patterns 211 to 214. Figure 3 As shown, the second 2D channel layer 224 may include a second horizontal portion 224L and a second vertical portion 224V. The second horizontal portion 224L may extend from the second seed layer 222 in a horizontal direction (e.g., in the first direction X and / or in the second direction Y) along a surface of the second active pattern AP2. The second vertical portion 224V may extend from the second seed layer 222 in a vertical direction (e.g., in a third direction Z) along a side surface of the wall structure 102.

[0071] Only the thickness T21 of the second horizontal portion 224L and the thickness T22 of the second vertical portion 224V are shown to be the same as each other, but this is only an example, and depending on the conditions of the crystal growth method, the thickness T21 of the second horizontal portion 224L and the thickness T22 of the second vertical portion 224V may be different from each other.

[0072] In some example embodiments, the first transition metal dichalcogenide of the first 2D channel layer 124 and the second transition metal dichalcogenide of the second 2D channel layer 224 may be identical to each other. As an example, both the first 2D channel layer 124 and the second 2D channel layer 224 may include molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 As another example, both the first 2D channel layer 124 and the second 2D channel layer 224 may include tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ).

[0073] However, the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the first transition metal dichalcogenide of the first 2D channel layer 124 and the second transition metal dichalcogenide of the second 2D channel layer 224 may also be different from each other. As an example, when the first seed layer 122 and the second seed layer 222 include molybdenum dioxide (MoO2 ), the first 2D channel layer 124 may include molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), and the second 2D channel layer 224 may include molybdenum diselenide (MoSe 2 As another example, when the first seed layer 122 and the second seed layer 222 include tungsten dioxide (WO 2 ), the first 2D channel layer 124 may include tungsten disulfide (WS 2 ), and the second 2D channel layer 224 may include tungsten diselenide (WSe 2 ).

[0074] The first gate structure GS1 may be formed on the first region I of the substrate 100. The first gate structure GS1 may intersect with the first active pattern AP1. For example, the first gate structure GS1 may extend along the second direction Y on the first side surface of the wall structure 102. Each of the first bridge patterns 111 to 114 may extend along the first direction X and penetrate the first gate structure GS1. Therefore, the first gate structure GS1 may surround the periphery of each of the first bridge patterns 111 to 114 exposed from the wall structure 102 and / or the first insulating pattern 104.

[0075] The second gate structure GS2 may be formed on the second region II of the substrate 100. The second gate structure GS2 may intersect with the second active pattern AP2. For example, the second gate structure GS2 may extend along the second direction Y on the second side surface of the wall structure 102. Each of the second bridge patterns 211 to 214 may extend along the first direction X and penetrate the second gate structure GS2. Therefore, the second gate structure GS2 may surround the periphery of each second bridge pattern 211 to 214 exposed from the wall structure 102 and / or the second insulating pattern 204.

[0076] The first gate structure GS1 may include a first gate dielectric film 132 and a first gate electrode 134 , and the second gate structure GS2 may include a second gate dielectric film 232 and a second gate electrode 234 .

[0077] The first gate dielectric film 132 may be stacked on the first 2D channel layer 124. The first 2D channel layer 124 may be interposed between the first active pattern AP1 and the first gate dielectric film 132. The first gate dielectric film 132 may surround the periphery of the first active pattern AP1. When the first 2D channel layer 124 does not extend along the upper surface of the uppermost bridge pattern (e.g., the fourth sheet pattern 114), the first gate dielectric film 132 may contact the upper surface of the uppermost bridge pattern (e.g., the fourth sheet pattern 114). In some example embodiments, the first gate dielectric film 132 may also extend along the upper surface of the field insulating film 106 and the side surface of the wall structure 102.

[0078] The second gate dielectric film 232 may be stacked on the second 2D channel layer 224. The second 2D channel layer 224 may be interposed between the second active pattern AP2 and the second gate dielectric film 232. The second gate dielectric film 232 may surround the periphery of the second active pattern AP2. When the second 2D channel layer 224 does not extend along the upper surface of the uppermost bridge pattern (e.g., the eighth sheet pattern 214), the second gate dielectric film 232 may contact the upper surface of the uppermost bridge pattern (e.g., the eighth sheet pattern 214). In some example embodiments, the second gate dielectric film 232 may also extend along the upper surface of the field insulating film 106 and the side surface of the wall structure 102.

[0079] Each of the first gate dielectric film 132 and the second gate dielectric film 232 may include, for example, at least one of silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, silicon nitride, or a high-k material having a dielectric constant greater than that of silicon oxide. The high-k material may include, for example, hafnium oxide (HfO 2 )、ZrO 2 ), lanthanum oxide (La 2 O 3 ), aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), titanium oxide (TiO 2 ), Strontium Titanium Oxide (SrTiO 3 ), lanthanum aluminum oxide (LaAlO 3 ), yttrium oxide (Y 2 O 3 ), Hafnium Oxynitride (HfO x N y ), zirconium oxynitride (ZrO x N y ), lanthanum oxynitride (La 2 O x N y ), aluminum oxynitride (Al 2 O x N y ), titanium oxynitride (TiO x N y ), Strontium Titanium Oxynitride (SrTiO x N y ), lanthanum aluminum oxynitride (LaAlO x N y ), yttrium oxynitride (Y 2 O x N y ) or at least one of a combination thereof, but example embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0080] The semiconductor device according to some example embodiments may include a negative capacitance (NC) FET using a negative capacitor.For example, the first gate dielectric film 132 and / or the second gate dielectric film 232 may include a ferroelectric material film having ferroelectric characteristics and a paraelectric material film having paraelectric characteristics.

[0081] The ferroelectric material film may have a negative capacitance, and the paraelectric material film may have a positive capacitance. For example, when two or more capacitors are connected in series with each other and the capacitance of each capacitor has a positive value, the total capacitance is reduced compared to the capacitance of each individual capacitor. On the other hand, when at least one of the capacitances of two or more capacitors connected in series with each other has a negative value, the total capacitance may be greater than the absolute value of each individual capacitance while having a positive value.

[0082] When a ferroelectric material film having negative capacitance and a paraelectric material film having positive capacitance are connected in series with each other, the total capacitance value of the ferroelectric material film and the paraelectric material film connected in series with each other can be increased. With the increase in the total capacitance value, a transistor including the ferroelectric material film can have a subthreshold swing (SS) of less than 60mV / decade at room temperature.

[0083] The ferroelectric material film may have ferroelectric properties. The ferroelectric material film may include, for example, at least one of hafnium oxide, hafnium zirconium oxide, barium strontium titanium oxide, barium titanium oxide, or lead zirconium titanium oxide. Here, as an example, hafnium zirconium oxide may be a material obtained by doping hafnium oxide with zirconium (Zr). As another example, hafnium zirconium oxide may also be a compound of hafnium (Hf), zirconium (Zr), and oxygen (O).

[0084] The ferroelectric material film may also include a dopant doped with. For example, the dopant may include at least one of aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), lanthanum (La), yttrium (Y), magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si), calcium (Ca), cerium (Ce), dysprosium (Dy), erbium (Er), gadolinium (Gd), germanium (Ge), scandium (Sc), strontium (Sr) or tin (Sn). The type of dopant included in the ferroelectric material film may vary depending on the type of ferroelectric material included in the ferroelectric material film.

[0085] When the ferroelectric material film includes hafnium oxide, the dopant included in the ferroelectric material film may include, for example, at least one of gadolinium (Gd), silicon (Si), zirconium (Zr), aluminum (Al), or yttrium (Y).

[0086] When the dopant is aluminum (Al), the ferroelectric material film may include about 3 to about 8 atomic % (at %) of aluminum. Here, the ratio of the dopant may be a ratio of aluminum to the sum of hafnium and aluminum.

[0087] When the dopant is silicon (Si), the ferroelectric material film may include about 2 to about 10 atomic % (at%) of silicon. When the dopant is yttrium (Y), the ferroelectric material film may include about 2 to about 10 at% of yttrium. When the dopant is gadolinium (Gd), the ferroelectric material film may include about 1 to about 7 at% of gadolinium. When the dopant is zirconium (Zr), the ferroelectric material film may include about 50 to about 80 at% of zirconium.

[0088] The paraelectric material film may have paraelectric characteristics. The paraelectric material film may include, for example, at least one of silicon oxide or a metal oxide having a high dielectric constant. The metal oxide included in the paraelectric material film may include, for example, at least one of hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide, or aluminum oxide, but example embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0089] The ferroelectric material film and the paraelectric material film may include the same material. The ferroelectric material film may have ferroelectric properties, but the paraelectric material film may not have ferroelectric properties. For example, when the ferroelectric material film and the paraelectric material film include hafnium oxide, the crystal structure of the hafnium oxide included in the ferroelectric material film is different from the crystal structure of the hafnium oxide included in the paraelectric material film.

[0090] The thickness of the ferroelectric material film may have ferroelectric properties. The thickness of the ferroelectric material film may be, for example, about 0.5 to about 10 nm, but is not limited thereto. Since the critical thickness representing the ferroelectric properties may vary for each ferroelectric material, the thickness of the ferroelectric material film may vary depending on the ferroelectric material.

[0091] As an example, the first gate dielectric film 132 and / or the second gate dielectric film 232 may include a ferroelectric material film. As another example, the first gate dielectric film 132 and / or the second gate dielectric film 232 may include a plurality of ferroelectric material films spaced apart from each other. The first gate dielectric film 132 and / or the second gate dielectric film 232 may have a stacked film structure in which a plurality of ferroelectric material films and a plurality of paraelectric material films are alternately stacked.

[0092] The first gate electrode 134 may be stacked on the first gate dielectric film 132. The first gate dielectric film 132 may be interposed between the first active pattern AP1 and the first gate electrode 134.

[0093] The second gate electrode 234 may be stacked on the second gate dielectric film 232. The second gate dielectric film 232 may be interposed between the second active pattern AP2 and the second gate electrode 234.

[0094] Each of the first gate electrode 134 and the second gate electrode 234 may be formed by, for example, a replacement process, but example embodiments are not limited thereto. It is only shown that each of the first gate electrode 134 and the second gate electrode 234 is a single film, but this is only an example. In some example embodiments, each of the first gate electrode 134 and the second gate electrode 234 may be formed by stacking a plurality of conductive layers.

[0095] In some example embodiments, the wall structure 102 may extend along the first direction X to separate the first gate structure GS1 and the second gate structure GS2 from each other. For example, an upper surface of the wall structure 102 may be formed to be higher than upper surfaces of the first gate structure GS1 and the second gate structure GS2.

[0096] The first gate spacer 140 may be formed on the first insulating pattern 104 and the field insulating film 106. The first gate spacer 140 may extend along the side surface of the first gate structure GS1. In some example embodiments, a portion of the first gate dielectric film 132 may be interposed between the first gate electrode 134 and the first gate spacer 140. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the first gate dielectric film 132 may also extend along at least a portion of the inner side surface of the first gate spacer 140. The first gate dielectric film 132 may be formed by a replacement process, but example embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0097] The second gate spacer 240 may be formed on the second insulating pattern 204 and the field insulating film 106. The second gate spacer 240 may extend along the side surface of the second gate structure GS2. In some example embodiments, a portion of the second gate dielectric film 232 may be interposed between the second gate electrode 234 and the second gate spacer 240. For example, Figure 5 As shown, the second gate dielectric film 232 may also extend along at least a portion of the inner side surface of the second gate spacer 240. The second gate dielectric film 232 may be formed by a replacement process, but example embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0098] Each of the first gate spacer 140 and the second gate spacer 240 may include, for example, at least one of silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxycarbide, silicon boron nitride, silicon carbon nitride, silicon carbon oxynitride, or a combination thereof, but example embodiments are not limited thereto. As an example, each of the first gate spacer 140 and the second gate spacer 240 may include a silicon nitride film.

[0099] The first source / drain pattern 160 may be formed on at least one side surface (e.g., both side surfaces) of the first gate structure GS1. The first source / drain pattern 160 may be connected to the first active pattern AP1. For example, each of the first bridge patterns 111 to 114 may penetrate the first gate structure GS1 and the first gate spacer 140, and be connected to the first source / drain pattern 160. The first source / drain pattern 160 may be electrically separated from the first gate electrode 134 by the first gate spacer 140 and / or the first gate dielectric film 132.

[0100] In some example embodiments, the first 2D channel layer 124 may further extend along side surfaces of the first source / drain pattern 160. For example, a portion of the first 2D channel layer 124 may extend along side surfaces of the first source / drain pattern 160 between respective adjacent pairs of the first bridge patterns 111 to 114. A portion of the first 2D channel layer 124 may be interposed between the first gate structure GS1 and the first source / drain pattern 160.

[0101] In some example embodiments, the first source / drain pattern 160 may include an epitaxial layer. For example, the first source / drain pattern 160 may be formed from the first active pattern AP1 by an epitaxial growth method. The first source / drain pattern 160 may be provided as a source / drain region of a field effect transistor (FET) formed on the first region I.

[0102] When the first region I is an NFET region, the first source / drain pattern 160 including an epitaxial layer may include an n-type impurity (e.g., phosphorus (P), antimony (Sb), or arsenic (As)) or an impurity for blocking or preventing diffusion of the n-type impurity. When the first region I is an NFET region, the first source / drain pattern 160 including an epitaxial layer may further include a tensile stress material. As an example, when the first active pattern AP1 is a silicon (Si) pattern, the first source / drain pattern 160 may include a material having a smaller lattice constant than silicon (Si) (e.g., silicon carbide (SiC)).

[0103] In some example embodiments, the first source / drain pattern 160 may include a metal material such as nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), or zirconium (Zr). The first source / drain pattern 160 may be provided as a source / drain electrode connected to the first 2D channel layer 124 including a 2D semiconductor material.

[0104] The second source / drain pattern 260 may be formed on at least one side surface (e.g., both side surfaces) of the second gate structure GS2. The second source / drain pattern 260 may be connected to the second active pattern AP2. For example, each of the second bridge patterns 211 to 214 may penetrate the second gate structure GS2 and the second gate spacer 240 and be connected to the second source / drain pattern 260. The second source / drain pattern 260 may be electrically separated from the second gate electrode 234 by the second gate spacer 240 and / or the second gate dielectric film 232.

[0105] In some example embodiments, the second 2D channel layer 224 may further extend along side surfaces of the second source / drain pattern 260. For example, a portion of the second 2D channel layer 224 may extend along side surfaces of the second source / drain pattern 260 between respective adjacent pairs of the second bridge patterns 211 to 214. A portion of the second 2D channel layer 224 may be interposed between the second gate structure GS2 and the second source / drain pattern 260.

[0106] In some example embodiments, the second source / drain pattern 260 may include an epitaxial layer. For example, the second source / drain pattern 260 may be formed from the second active pattern AP2 by an epitaxial growth method. The second source / drain pattern 260 may be provided as a source / drain region of a field effect transistor (FET) formed on the second region II.

[0107] When the second region II is a PFET region, the second source / drain pattern 260 including an epitaxial layer may include a p-type impurity (e.g., boron (B), indium (In), gallium (Ga), or aluminum (Al)) or an impurity for blocking or preventing the diffusion of the p-type impurity. When the second region II is a PFET region, the second source / drain pattern 260 including an epitaxial layer may further include a compressive stress material. As an example, when the second active pattern AP2 is a silicon (Si) pattern, the second source / drain pattern 260 may include a material having a larger lattice constant than silicon (Si) (e.g., silicon germanium (SiGe)).

[0108] In some example embodiments, the second source / drain pattern 260 may include a metal material such as nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), silver (Ag), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), or zirconium (Zr).

[0109] The interlayer insulating film 180 may be formed on the wall structure 102, the first gate structure GS1, the second gate structure GS2, the first source / drain pattern 160, and the second source / drain pattern 260. For example, the interlayer insulating film 180 may cover the wall structure 102, the first gate structure GS1, the second gate structure GS2, the first source / drain pattern 160, and the second source / drain pattern 260.

[0110] The interlayer insulating film 180 may include, for example, at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxycarbide, silicon boron nitride, silicon boron carbonitride, silicon oxynitride, or a low-k material having a dielectric constant less than that of silicon oxide, but example embodiments are not limited thereto.

[0112] The second gate contact CB2 may be electrically connected to the second gate structure GS2 . For example, the second gate contact CB2 may extend in the third direction Z to penetrate the interlayer insulating film 180 and be connected to the upper surface of the second gate electrode 234 .

[0113] Each of the first gate contact CB1 and the second gate contact CB2 may include, for example, a metal material such as cobalt (Co), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), ruthenium (Ru), tungsten (W), or cobalt tungsten phosphide (CoWP), but example embodiments are not limited thereto. As an example, each of the first gate contact CB1 and the second gate contact CB2 may include cobalt (Co).

[0114] Figures 6 to 10 is used to describe the Figure 2 For ease of explanation, the above reference will be briefly described or omitted. Figures 1 to 5 The parts described overlap.

[0115] Reference Figure 6, in the semiconductor device according to example embodiments, thicknesses T11 and T12 of the first 2D channel layer 124 and thicknesses T21 and T22 of the second 2D channel layer 224 may be different from each other.

[0116] This may be due to the fact that the first 2D channel layer 124 and the second 2D channel layer 224 are formed at different levels. For example, the thickness T11 of the first horizontal portion 124L and the thickness T21 of the second horizontal portion 224L may be different from each other, and / or the thickness T12 of the first vertical portion 124V and the thickness T22 of the second vertical portion 224V may be different from each other.

[0117] It is only shown that the thicknesses T21 and T22 of the second 2D channel layer 224 are respectively greater than the thicknesses T11 and T12 of the first 2D channel layer 124, but this is only an example, and the thicknesses T21 and T22 of the second 2D channel layer 224 may be respectively less than the thicknesses T11 and T12 of the first 2D channel layer 124. The difference between the thicknesses T11 and T12 of the first 2D channel layer 124 and the thicknesses T21 and T22 of the second 2D channel layer 224 may be appropriately adjusted according to purpose or need.

[0118] Reference Figure 7 , in the semiconductor device according to example embodiments, a thickness T13 of the first seed layer 122 and a thickness T23 of the second seed layer 222 may be different from each other.

[0119] This may be due to the fact that the first seed layer 122 and the second seed layer 222 are formed at different levels. The thickness T13 of the first seed layer 122 and the thickness T23 of the second seed layer 222 may both be defined as, for example, a thickness in a vertical direction (e.g., a third direction Z), but this is merely an example. As another example, the thickness T13 of the first seed layer 122 and the thickness T23 of the second seed layer 222 may both be defined as a thickness in a horizontal direction (e.g., a second direction Y). As yet another example, the thickness T13 of the first seed layer 122 may be defined as a maximum distance from a contact point between the first active pattern AP1 and the wall structure 102 to the first surface 122S, and the thickness T23 of the second seed layer 222 may be defined as a maximum distance from a contact point between the second active pattern AP2 and the wall structure 102 to the second surface 222S.

[0120] It is only shown that the thickness T23 of the second seed layer 222 is greater than the thickness T13 of the first seed layer 122, but this is only an example, and the thickness T23 of the second seed layer 222 may be less than the thickness T13 of the first seed layer 122. The difference between the thickness T13 of the first seed layer 122 and the thickness T23 of the second seed layer 222 may be appropriately adjusted according to purpose or need.

[0121] Reference Figure 8 , in the semiconductor device according to example embodiments, a thickness T14 of the first gate dielectric film 132 and a thickness T24 of the second gate dielectric film 232 may be different from each other.

[0122] This may be due to the fact that the first gate dielectric film 132 and the second gate dielectric film 232 are formed at different levels. It is only shown that the thickness T24 of the second gate dielectric film 232 is greater than the thickness T14 of the first gate dielectric film 132, but this is only an example, and the thickness T24 of the second gate dielectric film 232 may be smaller than the thickness T14 of the first gate dielectric film 132. The difference between the thickness T14 of the first gate dielectric film 132 and the thickness T24 of the second gate dielectric film 232 may be appropriately adjusted according to purpose or need.

[0124] For example, the first 2D channel layer 124 may further include a first connection portion 124C extending along the first surface 122S and connecting the first horizontal portion 124L and the first vertical portion 124V. Similarly, the second 2D channel layer 224 may further include a second connection portion 224C extending along the second surface 222S and connecting the second horizontal portion 224L and the second vertical portion 224V.

[0125] Fig. 9 124C completely covers the first surface 122S and the second connection portion 224C completely covers the second surface 222S, but this is only an example. As an example, the first 2D channel layer 124 may expose a portion of the first surface 122S, or the second 2D channel layer 224 may expose a portion of the second surface 222S.

At least one of the passivation films 392 or 394 may include various materials that protect the active film pAP and / or the second sacrificial film 330 in subsequent processes. As an example, a first passivation film 392 including silicon oxide (SiO) and a second passivation film 394 including amorphous silicon (a-Si) may be sequentially stacked on the active film pAP and the second sacrificial film 330.

In some example embodiments, the filling insulating film 302 filling a region between the first and second active patterns AP1 and AP2 may not be removed.

[0152] Reference Fig.19 , the first sacrificial pattern 104S and the second sacrificial pattern 204S are removed.

[0153] Since the first and second sacrificial patterns 104S and 204S may have an etching selectivity with respect to the substrate 100 and the active film pAP, the first and second sacrificial patterns 104S and 204S may be selectively removed. The third and fourth sacrificial patterns 331 and 332 may not be removed.

For example, a dielectric film and an electrode film sequentially stacked on the first region I of the substrate 100 may be formed. Subsequently, a first gate mask 350 extending in the second direction Y may be formed on the electrode film on the first region I. Subsequently, a patterning process of patterning the dielectric film and the electrode film by using the first gate mask 350 as an etching mask may be performed. The patterned dielectric film may form the first dummy gate dielectric film 333, and the patterned electrode film may form the first dummy gate electrode 334.

[0164] The first dummy gate structure DG1 may have an etch selectivity with respect to the first active pattern AP1. As an example, the first dummy gate electrode 334 may include polysilicon.

[0165] Subsequently, a first gate spacer 140 may be formed on a side surface of the first dummy gate structure DG1.

When the etching process is performed, a portion of the first active pattern AP1 and a portion of the third sacrificial pattern 331 disposed outside the first dummy gate structure DG1 may be removed to form a first groove 110r. In some example embodiments, the first groove 110r may be defined on the upper surface of the first insulating pattern 104.

[0168] Reference Fig.29 , a first source / drain pattern 160 and an interlayer insulating film 180 are formed.

[0169] The first source / drain pattern 160 may be filled with Fig.28 Thus, a first source / drain pattern 160 connected to the first active pattern AP1 may be formed.

[0170] In some example embodiments, the first source / drain pattern 160 may include an epitaxial layer. For example, the first source / drain pattern 160 may be formed of the first active pattern AP1 by an epitaxial growth method.

[0173] Reference Fig.30 and Fig.31 , remove the first dummy gate structure DG1.

[0174] Since the first dummy gate structure DG1 may have an etching selectivity with respect to the first active pattern AP1, the first dummy gate structure DG1 may be selectively removed. When the first dummy gate structure DG1 is removed, the first active pattern AP1 and the third sacrificial pattern 331 disposed inside the first gate spacer 140 may be exposed.

[0175] Reference Fig.32 and Fig.33 , forming a first seed layer 122 .

[0176] For example, an etching process may be performed on the third sacrificial pattern 331. In the etching process, the third sacrificial pattern 331 may be selectively removed relative to the first active pattern AP1. Thus, a plurality of first bridge patterns 111 to 114 spaced apart from each other and extending in the first direction X may be formed on the first region I of the substrate 100.

[0177] In addition, during the etching process, a portion of the third sacrificial pattern 331 between the first bridge patterns 111 to 114 may not be completely removed due to a narrow space. Thus, the first seed layer 122 remaining between each of the adjacent pairs of the first bridge patterns 111 to 114 and on the side surface of the wall structure 102 may be formed by a portion of the third sacrificial pattern 331.

[0178] Reference Fig.34 and Fig.35 , forming a first 2D channel layer 124 .

Subsequently, a patterning process may be performed on the first gate dielectric film 132 and the first gate electrode 134. Thus, a first gate structure GS1 surrounding the periphery of each of the first bridge patterns 111 to 114 may be formed.

[0182] Reference Fig.39 and Fig.40 , a second mask pattern MP2 is formed on the first region I of the substrate 100. For reference, Fig.40 is along Fig.39 A cross-sectional view taken along line AA.

For example, the second mask pattern MP2 may cover the first active pattern AP1, the first source / drain pattern 160, and the first gate structure GS1. The second mask pattern MP2 may cover at least a portion of the wall structure 102, but example embodiments are not limited thereto.

For reference, Fig.42 is along Fig.41 A cross-sectional view taken along line AA of Fig.43 is along Fig.41 Except for being formed on the second region II of the substrate 100, the formation of the second source / drain pattern 260, the second seed layer 222, the second 2D channel layer 224 and the second gate structure GS2 may be similar to the formation of the first source / drain pattern 160, the first seed layer 122, the first 2D channel layer 124 and the first gate structure GS1, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0186] Meanwhile, as a method of improving the performance of semiconductor devices by improving mobility and short channel effect (SCE), semiconductor devices using two-dimensional semiconductor materials as channels are being studied. However, two-dimensional semiconductor materials have problems such as poor compatibility with commercially available silicon (Si)-based structures and processes due to their material properties, and difficulty in molding due to their very thin thickness.

[0187] In a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same according to some example embodiments, a transition metal material (e.g., a first seed layer 122 and / or a second seed layer 222) remaining between bridge patterns may be used as a seed layer to form a transition metal chalcogenide material (e.g., a first 2D channel layer 124 and / or a second 2D channel layer 224). Thus, a first 2D channel layer 124 and / or a second 2D channel layer 224 including a transition metal chalcogenide material may be formed. In addition, the first 2D channel layer 124 and / or the second 2D channel layer 224 may have a single crystal structure and may have high compatibility with commercially available structures and processes based on silicon (Si). Thus, a semiconductor device with improved performance may be provided using a 2D semiconductor material as a channel region by a simple method.
