Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a CFET gate circuit device structure and process. Background Art
[0002] Complementary field effect transistor (CFET), as a stacked semiconductor device, brings new possibilities to the design and manufacture of integrated circuits with its unique vertical complementary structure. The structural design of CFET helps to reduce parasitic effects and gradually improve the performance and power efficiency of semiconductor components. Combined with new technologies such as adaptive design and back power supply, CFET is expected to become an advanced process that may replace the gate-all-around (GAA) device in the next decade.
[0003] In CMOS design, since the gate electrical signals of most P devices and N devices are the same, and the process of the common gate structure is simple, in the current CFET research, research institutions usually use the common gate structure as the basic unit of the circuit to design the circuit. Even if the gate signals of the P device and the N device are different, it is only necessary to introduce structures such as dummy gate (DG) and diffusion break (DB).
[0004] However, the existing CFET method of introducing a false gate and a diffusion interruption structure easily causes the circuit to lose its electrical performance and the advantages of the overall area of the circuit structure to a certain extent, which is not conducive to optimizing the spatial structure and circuit function of the CFET device. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a gate circuit device structure and process that can save the plane area of CFET integration, improve the integration density, and reduce the channel process, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0006] On the one hand, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a gate circuit device structure of CFET, the device structure includes a substrate, the substrate as a basic support structure can be used as a base component for thin film growth and photolithography, the top of the substrate is wrapped with an N-channel field effect transistor connected in parallel through an insulating layer and P-channel FET ; The substrate is conductive and can form electron or hole carriers to realize the normal operation of electronic devices. The substrate includes silicon-based substrates, III-V compound substrates and wide bandgap substrates; Among them, the silicon-based substrate is made of silicon or sapphire. The substrate made of crystalline silicon has good thermal stability and crystal structure stability. Therefore, the crystalline silicon substrate has good chemical stability at room temperature and is not easy to react with acids, alkalis and other substances. The main components of sapphire crystal are , It is composed of three oxygen atoms and two aluminum atoms combined in the form of covalent bonds. Its crystal structure is a hexagonal lattice structure, which can improve the wear resistance of the substrate and reduce the degree of wear during the use of the substrate.
[0007] The III-V compound substrate includes III-V compounds, such as gallium nitride and indium phosphide. The chemical expression of gallium nitride is GaN; the chemical expression of indium phosphide is InP. Among them, the band gap energy of gallium nitride is about 3.4 electron volts, which is larger than the band gap energy of 1.1 electron volts of silicon and 0.67 electron volts of germanium. Therefore, gallium nitride devices can operate at higher frequencies. At the same time, combined with its luminescence performance, it can meet the use requirements of semiconductor electronic devices. CFETs using III-V compound substrates can improve the scalability of usage scenarios.
[0008] The energy band gap of indium phosphide is about 1.35 electron volts, so the energy band gap of indium phosphide is between that of silicon and gallium nitride. Substrates made of indium phosphide can be used in high-frequency, high-speed gate circuit device structures. At the same time, they have high electron mobility, which enables gate circuit devices to be transmitted faster in semiconductors under the action of electric fields, which is beneficial to improving the response speed and performance of the device. In addition, indium phosphide also has good optical properties and thermal stability, and can maintain its performance in high-temperature environments, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability of CFET gate circuit devices when used under high-temperature conditions.
[0009] When a wide bandgap material such as silicon carbide or silicon nitride is used to manufacture the substrate, since the bandgap width of silicon carbide can reach 3.2 electron volts, the substrate made of silicon carbide can operate at a higher voltage and temperature than the substrate made of crystalline silicon, which greatly improves the efficiency and energy consumption ratio of power devices. At the same time, due to the good thermal conductivity of silicon carbide materials, the heat generated in high-power applications can be effectively managed and dispersed, which is conducive to improving the reliability and life of the device; When gallium oxide is used to manufacture the substrate, the electrical breakdown strength and thermal stability of the substrate can be improved because the band gap width of gallium oxide is approximately 4.5 electron volts to 4.9 electron volts.

It also remains in the on state when connected to a high level, thereby maintaining the on state of the TG gate circuit; At the same time, when the P-channel FET When a positive voltage is connected, it will turn off and the N-channel field effect transistor When the low level is connected, the TG gate circuit is also kept in the off state, so that the TG gate circuit can be turned on in the N-channel field effect transistor. P-channel FET When receiving signals of different levels, the on or off state is maintained to realize the switching function of the TG gate circuit.
