It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

[0050] The embodiments herein can be implemented in a plurality of different forms. A person skilled in the art can easily understand the fact that the implementation and content can be transformed into various forms without departing from the purpose and scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application should not be interpreted as being limited to the contents recorded in the following embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined arbitrarily with each other.

[0051] The proportions of the drawings in this application can be used as a reference in the actual process, but are not limited to this. For example, the aspect ratio of the semiconductor layer, the thickness and spacing of each film layer can be adjusted according to actual needs. The drawings described in this application are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one embodiment of this application is not limited to the shapes or values ​​shown in the drawings.

[0052] In this specification, for the sake of convenience, the words and phrases indicating the orientation or positional relationship such as "middle", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like are used to illustrate the positional relationship of the constituent elements with reference to the drawings. This is only for the convenience of describing this specification and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application. The positional relationship of the constituent elements is appropriately changed according to the direction in which each constituent element is described. Therefore, it is not limited to the words and phrases described in the specification and can be appropriately replaced according to the situation.

[0053] In this specification, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate, or the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0054] In the description of the present application, ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" are provided to avoid confusion among constituent elements rather than to limit the quantity.

[0055] In this specification, "film" and "layer" can be interchanged. For example, "metal layer" can be replaced with "metal film" in some cases.

[0056] The gate-all-around FET is widely considered to be the next generation successor to the fin structure. The VGAA (Vertical gate-all-around) transistor is a vertical transistor that has been increasingly used in CMOS device scenarios in recent years. However, the inventors of the present application found that due to the complex process flow of VGAA, there are problems such as poor uniformity of the diameter (channel) of the nanowires, difficulty in self-alignment of the gate and the channel, and uneven doping of the source and drain, which seriously affects the performance of CMOS devices.

[0057] Therefore, an exemplary embodiment of the present application provides a complementary field effect transistor, comprising a stacked N-type field effect transistor and a P-type field effect transistor and a first isolation layer located between the N-type field effect transistor and the P-type field effect transistor and extending horizontally; the N-type field effect transistor and the P-type field effect transistor share a common gate extending in a vertical direction; the N-type field effect transistor comprises a first channel layer surrounding the common gate, and a first source and a first drain surrounding the common gate and connected to the first channel layer; the P-type field effect transistor comprises a second channel layer surrounding the common gate, and a second source and a second drain surrounding the common gate and connected to the second channel layer, the first isolation layer comprises a silicon oxide isolation layer or at least two groups of pn junction isolation layers, each group of the pn junction isolation layers comprises one N-type doped layer and one P-type doped layer, and the N-type doped layers and the P-type doped layers of the multiple groups of the pn junction isolation layers are alternately distributed.

[0058] As used in this application, "vertically extending" refers to extending along a vertical direction, which can be understood as a direction perpendicular to the substrate. Similarly, "horizontally extending" refers to extending along a horizontal direction, which can be understood as a direction parallel to the substrate.

[0059] As used in this application, the term "an integrated structure" may refer to the fact that there is no obvious boundary interface such as a fault or gap between A and B in the microstructure. Generally, a film layer patterned to form a connection is an integrated structure. For example, A and B are formed into a film layer using the same material and are simultaneously formed into a structure having a connection relationship through the same patterning process.

Figure 1 As shown, the complementary field effect transistor may include an N-type field effect transistor 100 and a P-type field effect transistor 200 that are stacked and arranged, and a first isolation layer 41 that is located between the N-type field effect transistor 100 and the P-type field effect transistor 200 and extends horizontally. The N-type field effect transistor 100 and the P-type field effect transistor 200 share a common gate 60 that extends in a vertical direction. The N-type field effect transistor 100 may include a first channel layer 51 surrounding the common gate 60, and a first source 21 and a first drain 31 surrounding the common gate 60 and connected to the channel layer 51. The P-type field effect transistor 200 may include a second channel layer 52 surrounding the common gate 60, and a second source 22 and a second drain 32 surrounding the common gate 60 and connected to the second channel layer 52. The first isolation layer 41 may include at least two groups of pn junction isolation layers or silicon oxide isolation layers, each group of the pn junction isolation layers includes one n-type doped layer and one p-type doped layer, and the N-type doped layers and the P-type doped layers of the multiple groups of the pn junction isolation layers are alternately distributed.

[0061] The present application reduces the leakage current density by 4 times compared with the single pn junction isolation in the prior art by adopting an enlarged p / n junction isolation layer, such as at least 2 groups of pn junction isolation layers, ie, pnpn junction isolation.

[0062] Continue to refer Figure 1 The first channel layer 51 of the N-type field effect transistor and the second channel layer 52 of the P-type field effect transistor are both annular and surround the common gate 60 .

[0063] In the present application, surrounding can be understood as partially or completely surrounding the common gate 60. In some embodiments, surrounding can be completely surrounding as a whole, and the cross-section of the channel layer after surrounding can be a closed ring, and the ring shape is adapted to the cross-sectional outer contour shape of the common gate 60. Exemplarily, the cross-section of the common gate 60 is, for example, a square structure. The interception direction of the cross section is intercepted along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10. In an exemplary embodiment, surrounding can be partially surrounding, and the cross-section after surrounding is not closed, such as a ring with an opening.

The main surface of the second channel layer 52 surrounding the common gate 60 extends vertically, the second source 22 and the second drain 32 both surround the second channel layer 52 and contact the main surface of the second channel layer 52 and are spaced apart in the vertical direction.

[0065] A horizontally extending second isolation layer 42 may be included between the first source 21 and the first drain 31, and the second isolation layer 42 is in contact with the main surface of the first channel layer 51, the first source 21, and the first drain 31. A horizontally extending third isolation layer 43 may be included between the second source 22 and the second drain 32, and the third isolation layer 43 is in contact with the main surface of the second channel layer 52, the second source 22, and the second drain 32.

[0067] In the present application, the position of the first source electrode and the position of the first drain electrode can be interchanged. When determining which one is the source electrode and which one is the drain electrode, it is related to the flow direction of the current in the transistor, and is not limited here. For example, the source electrode can represent the electrode from which the current flows out, and the drain electrode can represent the electrode into which the current flows. Similarly, the position of the second source electrode and the position of the second drain electrode can also be interchanged.

[0070] As used in this application, the term "main surface" means that the size of the surface of the film or layer extending along a certain direction is larger or much larger than the size of its surface extending along other directions, and the surface extending in this direction is called the main surface of the film or layer.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment, the first channel layer of the N-type field effect transistor includes N-type doped single crystal Si; the second channel layer of the P-type field effect transistor includes P-type doped single crystal Si. The first source and the first drain of the N-type field effect transistor are N-type heavily doped single crystal silicon, that is, the doping concentration of the first source and the first drain of the N-type field effect transistor is greater than the doping concentration of the first channel layer; the second source and the second drain of the P-type field effect transistor are P-type heavily doped single crystal silicon, that is, the doping concentration of the second source and the second drain of the P-type field effect transistor is greater than the doping concentration of the second channel layer.

[0074] The complementary field effect transistor of the present application also includes an output terminal (Vout); a common gate 60 of the P-type field effect transistor and the N-type field effect transistor serves as an input terminal (Vin) of the complementary field effect transistor; a source of the P-type field effect transistor is connected to a power supply terminal Vdd; and a source of the N-type field effect transistor is connected to a ground electrode GND.

[0075] The technical solution of the present application is further explained below through the manufacturing process of the complementary field effect transistor of the exemplary embodiment of the present application. The "patterning process" mentioned in the exemplary embodiment includes deposition of film layer, coating of photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching, stripping of photoresist and other processes, which is a mature manufacturing process in the relevant technology. The "photolithography process" mentioned in the exemplary embodiment includes coating of film layer, mask exposure and development, which is a mature manufacturing process in the relevant technology. Deposition can adopt known processes such as sputtering, evaporation, chemical vapor deposition, coating can adopt known coating processes, and etching can adopt known methods, which are not specifically limited here. In the description of the exemplary embodiment, it should be understood that "thin film" refers to a thin film made of a certain material on a substrate using a deposition or coating process. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process or a photolithography process during the entire manufacturing process, the "thin film" can also be called a "layer". If the "thin film" also requires a patterning process or a photolithography process during the entire manufacturing process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process or the photolithography process contains at least one "pattern".
