[0036] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, a single-layer silicon seed crystal layer or a stacked structure of multiple silicon seed crystal layers is formed on the inner wall of each groove, and a polysilicon layer is formed on the single-layer silicon seed crystal layer or the stacked structure to fill the groove, wherein the surface roughness of each silicon seed crystal layer is smaller than the surface roughness of the inner wall of the groove. Before forming the polysilicon layer, a single-layer or multi-layer silicon seed crystal layer with less molecular agglomeration and smaller surface roughness is formed first, and then a polysilicon layer is formed on the single-layer or multi-layer silicon seed crystal layer. This can provide a smoother and denser foundation for the polysilicon layer, effectively alleviate the molecular agglomeration problem of the polysilicon layer, and reduce the surface roughness of the polysilicon layer, thereby reducing the possibility of gaps in the trench filling process and effectively improving the filling effect.
[0038] Furthermore, a stacked structure of multiple silicon seed crystal layers is formed on the inner wall of each groove; wherein, from the bottom to the top of the semiconductor substrate, the surface roughness of each silicon seed crystal layer of the stacked structure increases layer by layer. By adopting the above scheme, by forming each silicon seed crystal layer with a step-by-step change in surface roughness, a step-by-step improved density can be obtained, and a better balance can be obtained between production cost and roughness improvement.
[0039] Furthermore, the silicon source material for forming the bottom silicon seed layer of the stacked structure includes diisopropylaminosilane; and / or, the silicon source material for forming the top silicon seed layer of the stacked structure includes disilane, so that diisopropylaminosilane with a higher production cost and disilane with a lower production cost can be used to form a stacked structure with a step-by-step decrease in surface roughness and a step-by-step increase in smoothness and density, thereby providing a better foundation for the subsequent polycrystalline silicon layer, further alleviating the molecular agglomeration problem of the polycrystalline silicon layer, reducing the surface roughness of the polycrystalline silicon layer, and controlling the production cost as much as possible.
[0040] Further, the thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer is determined according to the surface average roughness Ra_0 and / or the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove; the greater the surface average roughness Ra_0 of the inner wall of the groove, the greater the thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer; and / or, the greater the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove, the greater the thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer. By adopting the above scheme, a thicker bottom silicon seed crystal layer can be formed when the surface roughness of the inner wall of the groove is large, so that the bottom silicon seed crystal layer with the highest smoothness and density can be used to compensate the groove to a greater extent.
[0041] Further, the thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer is a first preset multiple of the surface average roughness Ra_0 of the inner wall of the groove; or, the thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer is a second preset multiple of the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove; or, the thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer is a third preset multiple of the weighted calculation value of the surface average roughness Ra_0 of the inner wall of the groove and the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove. By adopting the above scheme, a more accurate thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer that is more suitable for filling the current groove can be obtained by setting an appropriate ratio.
[0042] Furthermore, one or more of the first preset multiple, the second preset multiple and the third preset multiple are selected from: [2, 100], so that a value between doubling (such as 2 times) and increasing by two orders of magnitude (such as 100 times) can be used as a ratio. When the surface roughness of the inner wall of the groove is greater, a thicker bottom silicon seed crystal layer is formed. On the basis of using the bottom silicon seed crystal layer to compensate the groove to a greater extent, the process cost of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer is further controlled.
[0043] Furthermore, the number of silicon seed crystal layers included in the stacked structure is greater than or equal to 3; wherein the silicon source material used to form the middle silicon seed crystal layer of the stacked structure includes bis(diethylaminosilane). Thus, the silicon seed crystal layer formed by using bis(diethylaminosilane) as the silicon source can be used as a transition layer, and the stability between the seed crystal layers can be improved in the process of forming a stacked structure with a step-wise decrease in surface roughness and a step-wise increase in smoothness and density.
[0044] Furthermore, the aspect ratio of part or all of the trench is greater than 1.5: 1. Therefore, when part or all of the trench has a high aspect ratio and is more prone to filling gaps, by adopting the embodiment of the present invention, a smoother and denser foundation can be provided for the polysilicon layer, effectively alleviating the molecular agglomeration problem of the polysilicon layer, and reducing the surface roughness of the polysilicon layer, thereby reducing the possibility of gaps in the trench filling process and effectively improving the filling effect.
[0045] Furthermore, the thickness of the single-layer silicon seed crystal layer is 1 / 100 to 1 / 5 of the standard depth of the groove; or, the thickness of the stacked structure is 1 / 100 to 1 / 5 of the standard depth of the groove. By setting an appropriate total thickness, better filling effect can be obtained while further controlling production costs.
[0046] Furthermore, the step coverage of each silicon seed crystal layer is greater than or equal to 90%, so that during the trench filling process, the coverage of the top corner of the trench can be improved, further reducing the possibility of gaps and improving the filling effect.
[0047] Furthermore, the semiconductor base includes: a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of fins; wherein the grooves are formed between adjacent fins. Since semiconductor structures having fins often have the characteristics of small size, high device density, and more prone to filling defects, the device effect of the semiconductor structure having fins can be better improved by improving the filling effect.

[0054] As mentioned above, with the development of semiconductor technology, the feature size of semiconductor devices is getting smaller and smaller, and the integration of integrated circuits is getting higher and higher. When filling trenches with high aspect ratios with polysilicon, gaps are prone to appear, forming defects in subsequent processes, and in severe cases causing yield loss.
[0055] After research, it was found that in the prior art, the polysilicon layer is formed by decomposing an appropriate silicon source material at a high temperature. Since molecules are easily agglomerated during decomposition, the surface roughness is relatively large. In addition, due to the large surface roughness, gaps are easily formed during the gap filling process when filling holes with a high aspect ratio.
[0056] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of a semiconductor structure in the prior art.
[0057] exist Figure 1The semiconductor structure shown may include a semiconductor substrate 100 , wherein the semiconductor substrate 100 has a trench 111 , and a polysilicon layer 120 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 100 . The polysilicon layer 120 fills the trench 111 and forms a gap 112 .
[0058] Further research has found that in the process of forming the polysilicon layer 120 to fill the trench 111, the silicon source material is prone to molecular agglomeration when decomposing at high temperature, resulting in a relatively rough surface of the polysilicon layer 120. Since the molecular agglomeration and the rough surface are formed in the trench, it is difficult to improve them by using processes such as planarization, and there is currently no better solution.
[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, a single-layer silicon seed crystal layer or a stacked structure of multiple silicon seed crystal layers is formed on the inner wall of each groove, and a polysilicon layer is formed on the single-layer silicon seed crystal layer or the stacked structure to fill the groove, wherein the surface roughness of each silicon seed crystal layer is smaller than the surface roughness of the polysilicon layer. Before forming the polysilicon layer, a single-layer or multi-layer silicon seed crystal layer with less molecular agglomeration and smaller surface roughness is formed first, and then a polysilicon layer is formed on the single-layer or multi-layer silicon seed crystal layer. This can effectively alleviate the molecular agglomeration problem of the polysilicon layer and reduce the surface roughness of the polysilicon layer, thereby reducing the possibility of gaps in the trench filling process and effectively improving the filling effect.
[0060] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and beneficial effects of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0061] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 1 is a flow chart of a method for forming a semiconductor structure in an embodiment of the present invention. The method for forming a semiconductor structure may include steps S21 to S23:
[0062] Step S21: providing a semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor substrate has one or more grooves;
[0063] Step S22: forming a single silicon seed crystal layer or a stacked structure of multiple silicon seed crystal layers on the inner wall of each groove, wherein each silicon seed crystal layer has its own silicon seed crystal layer surface roughness;
[0064] Step S23: forming a polysilicon layer on the single-layer silicon seed crystal layer or the stacked structure to fill the trench.
[0065] The surface roughness of each silicon seed crystal layer is smaller than the surface roughness of the inner wall of the groove.
[0066] Combine the following Figures 3 to 7 Each of the above steps is described below.
[0067] Figures 3 to 7 It is a schematic diagram of a device cross-sectional structure corresponding to each step in a method for forming a semiconductor structure in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0068] Reference Figure 3 , a semiconductor substrate 200 is provided, and the semiconductor substrate 200 may have one or more trenches 211.
[0069] In some embodiments, the semiconductor body 200 may include a semiconductor substrate.
[0070] Among them, the semiconductor substrate can be, for example, a silicon substrate. The material of the semiconductor substrate can also include germanium, silicon germanium, silicon carbide, gallium arsenide or indium gallium. The semiconductor substrate can also be a silicon substrate on an insulator or a germanium substrate on an insulator, or a substrate with an epitaxial layer (Epi layer) grown on it.
[0071] Furthermore, the semiconductor substrate may have a plurality of fins 201 , wherein the trench 211 may be formed between adjacent fins 201 .
[0072] In a specific embodiment, the step of forming the fin 201 may include: etching the semiconductor substrate to obtain a plurality of sub-fins protruding from the surface of the semiconductor substrate; forming a sacrificial layer covering the surface of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the surface of the sacrificial layer is flush with the top surface of the sub-fin; removing a portion of the thickness of the sub-fin to form a groove, and the remaining sub-fin serves as the fin 201; and then removing the sacrificial layer.
[0073] It is understandable that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fins 201 may be formed in other appropriate ways, such as etching the semiconductor substrate to obtain a plurality of fins 201 protruding from the surface of the semiconductor substrate.
[0074] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, it is not limited to using a semiconductor substrate with a fin 201 as a semiconductor base, and a conventional semiconductor substrate can also be used to form a semiconductor structure including other structures, such as forming a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device.
[0075] In an embodiment of the present invention, the semiconductor base 200 may include: a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of fins 201; wherein the grooves 211 are formed between adjacent fins 201. Since the semiconductor structure having the fins 201 often has the characteristics of small size, high device density, and more prone to filling defects, the device effect of the semiconductor structure having the fins 201 can be better improved by improving the filling effect.
[0076] Then, a single silicon seed layer or a stacked structure of multiple silicon seed layers may be formed on the inner wall of each groove 211 , wherein each silicon seed layer may have its own silicon seed layer surface roughness, and each silicon seed layer surface roughness may be smaller than the inner wall surface roughness of the groove 211 .
[0077] In a specific implementation of an embodiment of the present invention, the surface roughness may include one or more of the following: surface average roughness Ra; surface root mean square roughness Rq; the surface roughness of each silicon seed crystal layer is smaller than the surface roughness of the inner wall of the groove 211, which may include: the surface average roughness of each silicon seed crystal layer is smaller than the surface average roughness Ra_0 of the inner wall of the groove 211; and / or the surface root mean square roughness of each silicon seed crystal layer is smaller than the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove 211.
[0078] In the embodiment of the present invention, by selecting appropriate parameters to represent the surface roughness, the surface roughness of the inner wall of the groove 211 and the surface roughness of each silicon seed crystal layer can be accurately compared, which helps to determine appropriate process targets to improve the performance of the formed semiconductor structure.
[0079] In the case of a larger diameter, a thicker bottom silicon seed layer is formed, so that the bottom silicon seed layer with the highest smoothness and density can be used to compensate the trench to a greater extent.
[0080] In some embodiments, a stacked structure of multiple silicon seed crystal layers is formed on the inner wall of each trench 211 .
[0081] It can be understood that the inner wall of the groove 211 may include a bottom surface and a side wall surface of the groove 211 .
[0082] Reference Figure 4 , a bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221 is formed on the inner wall of each trench 211 .
[0083] In some embodiments, the silicon source material used to form the bottom silicon seed layer 221 of the stacked structure may include diisopropylaminosilane.
[0084] Among them, diisopropylaminosilane can also be called LTO520, and its chemical formula can be expressed as C6H 17 NSi.
[0085] In a specific implementation, the chemical formula for forming the bottom silicon seed layer 221 using the diisopropylaminosilane as a silicon source can be expressed as follows:
[0086] C6H 17 NSi→Si+3C2H4+NH3+H2;
[0087] Furthermore, the process parameters for forming the bottom silicon seed layer 221 using the diisopropylaminosilane as a silicon source may include one or more of the following:
[0088] The process temperature is selected from: 350°C to 420°C;
[0089] The gas atmosphere is nitrogen atmosphere;
[0090] The chamber pressure of the process chamber is selected from: 0.4 Torr to 0.6 Torr;
[0091] The surface roughness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221 includes one or more of the following: <Ra_1<0.1nm,0<Rq_1<0.1nm。
[0092] Here, Ra_1 is used to represent the Ra of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221 , and Rq_1 is used to represent the Rq of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221 .
[0093] In a specific embodiment, a vertical furnace polysilicon growth process may be used to form the bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221 in a furnace tube process chamber, thereby increasing the number of wafers accommodated in a single process and effectively improving process efficiency.
[0094] Further, the process temperature in the process chamber may be selected from: 350° C. to 420° C., such as 370° C. to 390° C., for example, 380° C.
[0095] Furthermore, the gas atmosphere in the process chamber may be a nitrogen atmosphere. Since nitrogen is a neutral gas, in an embodiment of the present invention, nitrogen may be used as a protective medium in an inactive state to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the underlying silicon seed crystal layer 221 .
[0096] Furthermore, the chamber pressure of the process chamber may be selected from: 0.4 Torr to 0.6 Torr, for example, 0.45 Torr to 0.55 Torr, for example, 0.5 Torr.
[0097] Furthermore, the surface roughness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221 includes one or more of the following: <Ra_1<0.1nm,0<Rq_1<0.1nm。
[0098] In an embodiment of the present invention, the silicon source material for forming the bottom silicon seed layer 221 of the stacked structure includes diisopropylaminosilane, so that diisopropylaminosilane with a higher production cost (compared with disilane) can be used to form a stacked structure with a smaller bottom surface roughness, a higher bottom smoothness and density, thereby providing a better foundation for the subsequent polycrystalline silicon layer, helping to alleviate the molecular agglomeration problem of the polycrystalline silicon layer and reduce the surface roughness of the polycrystalline silicon layer.
[0099] In some embodiments where the diisopropylaminosilane is used as a silicon source to form the underlying silicon seed crystal layer 221, the thickness of the underlying silicon seed crystal layer 221 can be determined based on the surface average roughness Ra_0 and / or the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove 211; the larger the surface average roughness Ra_0 of the inner wall of the groove 211, the larger the thickness of the underlying silicon seed crystal layer 221; and / or, the larger the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove 211, the larger the thickness of the underlying silicon seed crystal layer 221.
[0100] like Figure 4 As shown by the dotted ellipse, since the bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221 has less molecular agglomeration, it can be well attached to the inner wall of the groove 211 to form a surface with high smoothness and density.
[0101] In the embodiment of the present invention, the greater the surface average roughness Ra_0 of the inner wall of the groove 211, the greater the thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221; and / or, the greater the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove 211, the greater the thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221. When the surface roughness of the inner wall of the groove 211 is large, a thicker bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221 can be formed, so that the groove 211 can be compensated to a greater extent by using the bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221 with the highest smoothness and density.
[0102] Furthermore, the thickness of the underlying silicon seed crystal layer 221 can be a first preset multiple of the surface average roughness Ra_0 of the inner wall of the groove 211; or, the thickness of the underlying silicon seed crystal layer 221 is a second preset multiple of the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove 211; or, the thickness of the underlying silicon seed crystal layer 221 is a third preset multiple of the weighted calculated value of the surface average roughness Ra_0 of the inner wall of the groove 211 and the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove 211.
[0103] The weighted operation value may be a weighted average operation or a weighted sum operation, which may be selected according to actual needs.
[0104] In an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer is a first preset multiple of the surface average roughness Ra_0 of the inner wall of the groove; or, the thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer is a second preset multiple of the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove; or, the thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer is a third preset multiple of the weighted calculation value of the surface average roughness Ra_0 of the inner wall of the groove and the surface root mean square roughness Rq_0 of the inner wall of the groove. By adopting the above scheme, a more accurate thickness of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer that is more suitable for filling the current groove can be obtained by setting an appropriate ratio.

[0121] Furthermore, the chamber pressure of the process chamber may be selected from: 0.4 Torr to 0.6 Torr, for example, 0.45 Torr to 0.55 Torr, for example, 0.5 Torr.

Thus, the silicon seed crystal layer formed by using bis(diethylamino)silane as the silicon source can be used as a transition layer, and the stability between the seed crystal layers can be improved in the process of forming a stacked structure with a step-wise decrease in surface roughness and a step-wise increase in smoothness and density.

[0140] In an embodiment of the present invention, the silicon source material for forming the top silicon seed layer 223 of the stacked structure includes disilane, so that disilane with lower production cost (compared with diisopropylaminosilane) can be used to form a stacked structure with larger top surface roughness, smaller top smoothness and density steps, but lower process cost. This provides a better foundation for the subsequent polysilicon layer, further alleviates the molecular agglomeration problem of the polysilicon layer, reduces the surface roughness of the polysilicon layer, and controls the production cost as much as possible.

[0146] It should be noted that the silicon source material used to form the polysilicon layer 230 is not limited to monosilane. In other specific embodiments, the silicon source material used to form the polysilicon layer 230 may include dichloromethane (SiH2Cl2) or trichloromethane (SiHCl3).
[0147] Further, the process parameters for forming the polysilicon layer 230 using the monosilane as a silicon source may include one or more of the following:

[0154] Furthermore, the thickness of the polysilicon layer 230 may be selected from: 1000 Å to 8000 Å, such as 4000 Å to 6000 Å, for example, 5000 Å.
[0155] Furthermore, the surface roughness of the polysilicon layer 230 may include one or more of the following: 0.3 nm <Ra_p,0.3nm<Rq_p。
[0156] In an embodiment of the present invention, a single-layer silicon seed crystal layer or a stacked structure of multiple silicon seed crystal layers is formed on the inner wall of each groove 211, and a polysilicon layer 230 is formed on the single-layer silicon seed crystal layer or the stacked structure to fill the groove 211, wherein the surface roughness of each silicon seed crystal layer is smaller than the surface roughness of the inner wall of the groove 211. Before forming the polysilicon layer 230, a single-layer or multi-layer silicon seed crystal layer with less molecular agglomeration and smaller surface roughness is formed first, and then the polysilicon layer 230 is formed on the single-layer or multi-layer silicon seed crystal layer. This can provide a smoother and denser foundation for the polysilicon layer 230, effectively alleviate the molecular agglomeration problem of the polysilicon layer 230, and reduce the surface roughness of the polysilicon layer 230, thereby reducing the possibility of gaps in the process of filling the groove 211 and effectively improving the filling effect.
[0157] It should be pointed out that when a single-layer silicon seed crystal layer is formed on the inner wall of each groove 211, the silicon source material of the single-layer silicon seed crystal layer can be selected from: the silicon source material of the bottom silicon seed crystal layer 221, the silicon source material of the middle silicon seed crystal layer 222, and the silicon source material of the top silicon seed crystal layer 223 according to the specific situation.
[0158] In a specific embodiment, a single silicon seed layer can be formed based on the silicon source material of the underlying silicon seed layer 221, so that when only a single silicon seed layer is formed, the groove 211 can be compensated to a greater extent based on the silicon source material of the underlying silicon seed layer 221 with the highest smoothness and density.
[0159] In some embodiments, the aspect ratio of part or all of the trench 211 may be greater than 1.5:1.
[0160] In the embodiment of the present invention, the aspect ratio of part or all of the trench 211 is greater than 1.5: 1. Therefore, when part or all of the trench 211 has a high aspect ratio and is more prone to filling gaps, the embodiment of the present invention can provide a smoother and denser foundation for the polysilicon layer 230, effectively alleviate the molecular agglomeration problem of the polysilicon layer 230, and reduce the surface roughness of the polysilicon layer 230, thereby reducing the possibility of gaps in the process of filling the trench 211 and effectively improving the filling effect.
[0161] In some embodiments, the thickness of the single silicon seed layer is 1 / 100 to 1 / 5 of the standard depth of the trench 211 ; or, the thickness of the stacked structure is 1 / 100 to 1 / 5 of the standard depth of the trench 211 .
[0162] In an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the single-layer silicon seed crystal layer is 1 / 100 to 1 / 5 of the standard depth of the groove 211; or, the thickness of the stacked structure is 1 / 100 to 1 / 5 of the standard depth of the groove 211. By setting an appropriate total thickness, it is possible to further control production costs while obtaining a better filling effect.
[0163] In some embodiments, the step coverage of each silicon seed crystal layer may be greater than or equal to 90%, for example, greater than or equal to 92%, for example, a step coverage of 95%.
[0164] In the embodiment of the present invention, the step coverage of each silicon seed crystal layer is greater than or equal to 90%, so that during the filling process of the trench 211, the coverage of the top corner of the trench 211 can be improved, further reducing the possibility of gaps and improving the filling effect.
[0165] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 8 1 is a schematic diagram comparing the surface roughness obtained after forming polysilicon layers on various surfaces respectively in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0166] More specifically, in Figure 8 In the experiments shown, the material of the inner wall of the trench is Si or SiO2, the silicon source material of the single-layer silicon seed crystal layer is disilane (Si2H6), and the silicon source material of the multi-layer silicon seed crystal layer is Figure 7 The illustrated situation is described as an example, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0167] As shown in the figure, the comparative experiment includes the following three items: forming a polysilicon layer on the surface of the inner wall of the groove, forming a polysilicon layer on the surface of the single-layer silicon seed crystal layer, and forming a polysilicon layer on the surface of the multi-layer silicon seed crystal layer.
[0168] Among them, the surface roughness obtained after forming a polysilicon layer on the inner wall surface of the groove is the highest, and the Ra of the polysilicon layer is about 0.6, and the Rp is about 0.8.
[0169] The surface roughness obtained after a polysilicon layer is formed on the surface of the multi-layer silicon seed crystal layer is the lowest, and the Ra of the polysilicon layer is about 0.2 and the Rp is about 0.3.
[0170] The surface roughness obtained after forming a polysilicon layer on the surface of the single-layer silicon seed crystal layer is between the two.
[0171] From the above, it can be seen that before forming the polysilicon layer, a single-layer or multi-layer silicon seed crystal layer with less molecular agglomeration and smaller surface roughness is first formed, and then a polysilicon layer is formed on the single-layer or multi-layer silicon seed crystal layer. This can provide a smoother and denser foundation for the polysilicon layer and effectively reduce the surface roughness of the polysilicon layer.
