Description

Technical Field

[0002] Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) is a type of bipolar transistor. Its emitter and base regions use different semiconductor materials, so that the emitter junction (i.e., the PN junction between the emitter and base regions) forms a heterojunction. Heterojunction bipolar transistors have better high-frequency signal characteristics and base region emission efficiency than general bipolar transistors, and can operate at signals up to hundreds of GHz.

[0033] Preferably, the material of the first dielectric layer 2 is a silicon oxide layer, and the material of the second dielectric layer 3 is a silicon nitride layer.

[0034] Preferably, the following steps may be included before S1 to form the structure in S1: S01: providing a substrate 1, and sequentially growing a first dielectric layer 2 and a second dielectric layer 3 on a surface of the substrate 1.

[0035] Exemplarily, a substrate 1 is provided with a shallow trench isolation 101, and the shallow trench isolation 101 structure defines an active area. Afterwards, a first dielectric layer 2 can be grown on the surface of the substrate 1 by a HDP (High-Density Plasma) process, and then a second dielectric layer 3 can be grown on the first dielectric layer 2 by a FUR process, i.e., a furnace tube growth film layer.

[0036] S02: Etching the second dielectric layer 3 by photolithography and etching processes.

[0037] Exemplarily, the second dielectric layer 3 in a predetermined area is etched by photolithography and etching processes, and the etching stops at the surface of the first dielectric layer 2 .

[0039] Exemplarily, the exposed first dielectric layer 2 is etched by a wet etching process, and the etching stays on the surface of the substrate 1, thereby forming Figure 2 The first opening A1 in.

[0040] Afterwards, execute S2, such as Figure 5 As shown, a stacked structure is formed on the first opening A1, and the stacked structure includes an epitaxial layer 4, a germanium silicon layer 5, a third dielectric layer 6 and a fourth dielectric layer 7 from bottom to top.

[0042] Further, S2 may include the following steps: S21: forming an epitaxial layer 4 and a germanium silicon layer 5 in sequence through a one-step epitaxial process.

[0043] For example, Figure 3 As shown, through a one-step epitaxial process, an N-EPI process, i.e., an N-type epitaxial growth process, is first used to grow an epitaxial layer 4 on the structure formed after S1, and then a No selective EPI process, i.e., a non-selective epitaxial growth process, is used to form a germanium silicon layer 5 on the epitaxial layer 4.

Since the germanium silicon layer 5 and the epitaxial layer 4 are etched in the same step, the subsequent collector and base region are self-aligned. Since there is no second dielectric layer 3 blocking above the first opening A1, the substrate 1 located in the designated area and below the first opening A1 will be over-etched, thereby forming Figure 5 There are two grooves located in the substrate 1.

[0048] After that, execute S3, refer to Figure 6 A fifth dielectric layer 8 is formed on the structure formed after S2 , and the fifth dielectric layer 8 covers the stacked structure and the second dielectric layer 3 .

[0053] S42: etching the top of the fifth dielectric layer 8 and the fourth dielectric layer 7 by a dry etching process.

[0054] Exemplarily, the top of the fifth dielectric layer 8 is etched by a dry etching process until the remaining fifth dielectric layer 8 is slightly higher than the top of the epitaxial layer 4, or is flush with the top of the epitaxial layer 4. During this process, the fourth dielectric layer 7 located above the third dielectric layer 6 is also removed.

[0055] S43 : treating the surface of the remaining fifth dielectric layer 8 by a wet etching process until all the fifth dielectric layer 8 higher than the epitaxial layer 4 is removed.

[0056] Exemplarily, the surface of the remaining fifth dielectric layer 8 is processed by a wet etching process, so as to facilitate the growth of the external base region polysilicon layer 9 in a subsequent process.

[0057] After that, execute S5, refer to Figure 8, an external base region polysilicon layer 9 is grown on the remaining fifth dielectric layer 8 , and a sixth dielectric layer 10 is formed on the external base region polysilicon layer 9 and the remaining third dielectric layer 6 .

[0058] Preferably, the material of the external base polysilicon layer 9 may be polysilicon in-situ doped with boron, and the external base polysilicon layer 9 may be grown on the remaining fifth dielectric layer 8 by a selective EPI, i.e., a selective epitaxial growth process. The material of the sixth dielectric layer 10 may be a silicon oxide layer, and the sixth dielectric layer 10 may be grown on the external base polysilicon layer 9 and the remaining third dielectric layer 6 by a HDP process.

[0059] After that, execute S6, refer to Fig. 9 , the third dielectric layer 6 and the sixth dielectric layer 10 located on the top thereof are etched away to form a second opening A2 , and the second opening A2 is located above the germanium silicon layer 5 .

[0060] Further, S6 may include the following steps: S61: removing the sixth dielectric layer 10 on the top of the third dielectric layer 6 by photolithography and etching processes.

[0061] Exemplarily, the sixth dielectric layer 10 located on the top of the third dielectric layer 6 may be removed by photolithography and dry etching processes.

[0062] S62: removing the third dielectric layer 6 by a wet etching process to form a second opening A2.

[0063] Exemplarily, the third dielectric layer 6 is removed by a wet etching process to form Fig. 9 The second opening A2 is shown.

[0064] After that, execute S7, refer to Fig.11 , two sidewall structures arranged at a relative interval are formed in the second opening A2.

[0065] Exemplarily, S7 may include the following steps: S71 : forming a seventh dielectric layer 11 and a first polysilicon layer 12 in sequence on the silicon germanium layer 5 and the sixth dielectric layer 10 .

[0066] Preferably, the seventh dielectric layer 11 is made of silicon nitride layer.

[0067] For example, Fig.10 As shown, the seventh dielectric layer 11 can be grown on the silicon germanium layer 5 and the remaining sixth dielectric layer 10 by a PECVD (Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) process. Thereafter, a first polysilicon layer 12 is formed on the seventh dielectric layer 11 .

[0068] S72: etching the first polysilicon layer 12 to form a third opening A3.

[0069] Exemplarily, a dry etching process is used to remove part of the first polysilicon layer 12, and the etching stops at the surface of the seventh dielectric layer 11, forming Fig.10 The third opening A3 is shown.

[0070] S73: using the first polysilicon layer 12 as a mask, etching and removing the seventh dielectric layer 11 above the sixth dielectric layer 10 and the seventh dielectric layer 11 below the third opening, and the remaining seventh dielectric layer 11 forms a sidewall structure.

[0071] Illustratively, the remaining first polysilicon layer 12 is used as a mask and the seventh dielectric layer 11 above the sixth dielectric layer 10 and the seventh dielectric layer 11 below the third opening are removed by a wet etching process, and the remaining seventh dielectric layer 11 constitutes a sidewall structure.

[0072] After that, execute S8, refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 , a second polysilicon layer 13 is grown by an epitaxial process, and a portion of the second polysilicon layer 13 and the sixth dielectric layer 10 is removed by photolithography and etching processes to form an emitter.

[0073] Exemplarily, the second polysilicon layer 13 is grown by an epitaxial process, and then a portion of the second polysilicon layer 13 and the sixth dielectric layer 10 are removed by photolithography and dry etching processes, and only the second polysilicon layer 13 and the sixth dielectric layer 10 in a predetermined area are retained, and the remaining first polysilicon layer 12 and second polysilicon layer 13 constitute the emitter. The range of the predetermined area is larger than the third opening and smaller than the first opening A1. Since the collector is located within the range of the first opening A1 and the base region is located within the range of the second opening A2, self-alignment of the collector and the base region with the emitter is achieved.

[0074] After that, execute S9, refer to Fig.13 , a portion of the external base polysilicon layer 9, the fifth dielectric layer 8, the second dielectric layer 3 and the first dielectric layer 2 are removed by photolithography and etching processes to form a HBT device pattern.

[0075] Exemplarily, by photolithography and etching processes, a portion of the external base polysilicon layer 9, the fifth dielectric layer 8, the second dielectric layer 3 and the first dielectric layer 2 are removed, and the etching stops on the surface of the substrate 1, and only the external base polysilicon layer 9, the fifth dielectric layer 8, the second dielectric layer 3 and the first dielectric layer 2 in the predetermined area are retained, thereby forming Fig.13 The HBT device diagram shown in FIG. The boundary of the predetermined area in this step is located above the shallow trench isolation 101 .
