Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a semiconductor device, a preparation method and an electronic device. Background Art
[0002] In a semiconductor device, generally, a bottom contact hole is provided at the bottom of the semiconductor device, a bottom connection portion is filled in the bottom contact hole, and a metal line in a backside power delivery network (BSPDN) is electrically connected to a source or drain in a transistor through the bottom connection portion, so that the power signal is delivered to the source or drain of the transistor by using the BSPDN to supply power to the transistor. However, as the size of semiconductor devices decreases, the size of transistors and metal lines decreases, which will increase the resistance of the bottom connection portion, thereby increasing the voltage drop (IR drop), and further increasing the power consumption of the semiconductor device. Summary of the invention
[0003] Embodiments of the present application provide a semiconductor device, a manufacturing method, and an electronic device for reducing the resistance of a bottom connection portion, reducing IR drop, and reducing power consumption of the semiconductor device.
[0004] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a semiconductor device, comprising: a dielectric layer, a device structure layer, a first insulating layer, a first connection portion, a second insulating layer and a second connection portion, wherein the dielectric layer is disposed on the device structure layer so that the dielectric layer and the device structure layer are stacked, and a first opening and a second opening penetrating the dielectric layer are disposed in the dielectric layer, and the bottoms of the first opening and the second opening both lead to the device structure layer. The first insulating layer covers the dielectric layer and covers and fills the second opening, and the first insulating layer is disposed around the first opening, that is, the first insulating layer does not fill the first opening, but exposes the first opening. In addition, at least one transistor is formed in the device structure layer, and the transistor includes a channel region, a first electrode and a second electrode, and the first electrode and the second electrode are distributed at both ends of the channel region, and the first electrode is exposed in the first opening.
[0005] In order to transmit a signal to the transistor, a first contact hole penetrating the second insulating layer is provided in the second insulating layer, the bottom of the first contact hole leads to the device structure layer and the second electrode is exposed in the first contact hole. The second connecting portion is filled in the first contact hole, and the second connecting portion is in contact with the second electrode through the first contact hole to achieve electrical connection between the second connecting portion and the second electrode, thereby transmitting a signal to the second electrode through the second connecting portion.
[0006] Furthermore, in order to supply power to the transistor, the first connection part is filled in the first opening, that is, the first connection part is arranged on the back side of the transistor, and the first connection part is contacted with the first electrode through the first opening to realize the electrical connection between the first connection part and the first electrode, thereby transmitting the power signal to the first electrode of the transistor through the first connection part to supply power to the transistor.
[0007] In addition, the first cross section is located between the upper surface and the lower surface of the dielectric layer, and the cross-sectional area of the first opening in the first cross section is larger than the cross-sectional area of the second opening in the first cross section, and the cross-sectional area of the first opening in the first cross section is the same or gradually increases in the direction from the device structure layer to the dielectric layer. The cross-sectional area of the cross section of the first opening in the first cross section represents the cross-sectional area of the first connecting portion in the first cross section, and the cross-sectional area of the first connecting portion in the first cross section can be larger than the cross-sectional area of the second opening in the first cross section. However, the cross-sectional area of the bottom connecting portion in the first cross section in the prior art is substantially the same as the cross-sectional area of the second opening in the first cross section. Based on this, according to the resistance formula R=ρL / S (R represents the resistance value, ρ represents the resistivity of the material forming the resistor, L represents the length of the wire forming the resistor, and S represents the cross-sectional area of the resistor), since the cross-sectional area of the first connection part in the present application at the first cross-section is larger than the cross-sectional area of the bottom connection part in the prior art at the first cross-section, the resistance of the first connection part in the present application is lower than the resistance of the bottom connection part in the prior art, thereby achieving the reduction of IR drop and power consumption of semiconductor devices.
[0008] In some examples, the cross section of the first opening in the first cross section has a first length along the first direction, and the cross section of the second opening in the first cross section has a second length along the first direction, and the first length is greater than the second length to achieve that the first area is greater than the second area. In addition, the first direction is parallel to the first cross section.
[0009] In some other examples, the first angle is made smaller than the second angle by making the cross section of the first opening in the first cross section and the side wall of the first opening in the first direction have a first angle, and making the cross section of the second opening in the first cross section and the side wall of the second opening in the first direction have a second angle. With this arrangement, the length of the first opening can be expanded in the first direction by tilting the side wall of the second opening in the first direction. Of course, the first angle can also be made substantially equal to the second angle, and with this arrangement, the side wall of the second opening in the first direction can be translated in the first direction, thereby expanding the length of the first opening in the first direction.
[0010] Furthermore, the cross section of the first opening in the first cross section has a third length along the second direction, and the cross section of the second opening in the first cross section has a fourth length along the second direction, and the third length is substantially equal to the fourth length. This arrangement is equivalent to extending the length of the first opening in the first direction without extending the length of the first opening in the second direction, thereby avoiding a short circuit between the first electrode and the channel.
[0011] In order to reduce the contact resistance, at least one interface layer is further provided in the semiconductor device, and the at least one interface layer is provided between the first connecting portion and the first electrode, so that the contact resistance between the first connecting portion and the first electrode is reduced by the interface layer.

For example, the interface layer includes silicon, and the interface layer also has a high-activity dopant (wherein the dopant includes one or both of phosphorus and arsenic). Alternatively, the interface layer includes silicon and carbon, and the interface layer also has a high-activity dopant (wherein the dopant includes one or both of phosphorus and arsenic). Exemplarily, the concentration of the high-activity dopant is 4E20cm -3 or larger.
[0013] In order to further reduce the contact resistance, at least one interface layer is provided between the first connecting portion and the side wall of the first opening, that is, at least one interface layer is provided between the first connecting portion and the dielectric layer, and at least one interface layer is provided between the first connecting portion and the first insulating layer.
[0014] Furthermore, in order to transmit a signal to the first electrode, a second contact hole penetrating the second insulating layer is further provided in the second insulating layer, and the bottom of the second contact hole leads to the device structure layer, and the first electrode is exposed in the second contact hole. In addition, a third connection portion is further provided in the semiconductor device, and the third connection portion is filled in the second contact hole, so that the third connection portion contacts the first electrode through the second contact hole, so as to realize an electrical connection between the third connection portion and the first electrode, thereby transmitting a signal to the first electrode through the third connection portion.
[0015] In the transistor, the channel region includes: a first connection region, a second connection region, and an active region disposed between the first connection region and the second connection region, the first electrode contacts the first connection region, and the second electrode contacts the second connection region. The transistor also includes a gate, and the gate covers the active region through a gate insulating layer, so that the active region is controlled by the gate to realize conduction and disconnection between the first electrode and the second electrode. In addition, the second insulating layer is disposed on both sides of the gate.
[0016] Exemplarily, the channel includes a plurality of channel layers sequentially arranged along the stacking direction, and the plurality of channel layers are arranged at intervals from each other.

Furthermore, the channel layer may be set as a nanosheet channel layer or a nanowire channel layer.
[0017] In addition, the transistor also includes an inner spacer, a gate spacer, and a gate barrier layer. Two inner spacers are respectively arranged between two adjacent channel layers, and the gate spacers are arranged on both sides of the gate, that is, each gate is respectively provided with a gate spacer on both sides. In addition, the surface of the gate barrier layer facing away from the dielectric layer can be roughly flush with the surface of the gate spacer facing away from the dielectric layer.

Furthermore, since the first insulating layer 610 fills the second opening KK2 and the third opening KK3, not only the first insulating layer 610 contacts the surface of the second electrode 522 facing the dielectric layer 410 through the second opening KK2, and the first insulating layer 610 contacts the surface of the channel region 510 facing the dielectric layer 410 through the third opening KK3, but also the sidewall of the first opening KK1 in the second direction F2 is formed by the first insulating layer 610. In a specific implementation, the device structure layer can be formed on the semiconductor substrate, and then the semiconductor substrate is completely removed or a portion of the semiconductor substrate is removed during the preparation process. Alternatively, the device structure layer can also be formed in the semiconductor substrate, so that the semiconductor substrate is used as a part of the device structure layer.

Further, the channel region 510 includes a plurality of channel layers 511 sequentially disposed along the stacking direction F3, and the plurality of channel layers 511 are disposed at intervals from each other, and the gate 531 surrounds the active region B3 of each channel layer 511 via a gate insulating layer 532, so that the transistor in the present application is formed as a GAAFET. Moreover, the above-mentioned channel layer 511 can be configured as a nanosheet channel layer or a nanowire channel layer. It is understandable that the first electrode 521 can be configured as the source of the transistor and the second electrode 522 can be configured as the drain of the transistor. Alternatively, the first electrode 521 can be configured as the drain of the transistor and the second electrode 522 can be configured as the source of the transistor.
[0095] In addition, the transistor further includes an inner spacer 533, a gate spacer 535, and a gate barrier layer 534. Two inner spacers 533 are respectively disposed between two adjacent channel layers 511, and the orthographic projection of one of the two inner spacers 533 on the first cross section SC overlaps (or coincides) with the orthographic projection of the first connection area B1 on the first cross section SC, and the orthographic projection of the other inner spacer 533 on the first cross section SC overlaps (or coincides) with the orthographic projection of the second connection area B2 on the first cross section SC. The gate spacers 535 are arranged on both sides of the gate 531, that is, each gate 531 is provided with a gate spacer 535 on both sides, and the orthographic projection of the gate spacer 535 on one side of the gate 531 on the first cross section SC has an overlapping area (or coincides) with the orthographic projection of the first connection area B1 on the first cross section SC, and the orthographic projection of the gate spacer 535 on the other side on the first cross section SC has an overlapping area (or coincides) with the orthographic projection of the second connection area B2 on the first cross section SC. In addition, the gate barrier layer 534 covers the gate 531, and the orthographic projection of the gate barrier layer 534 on the first cross section SC has an overlapping area (or coincides) with the orthographic projection of the gate 531 on the first cross section SC. In addition, the surface of the gate barrier layer 534 facing away from the dielectric layer 410 can be substantially flush with the surface of the gate spacer 535 facing away from the dielectric layer 410.
[0096] To further improve the performance of transistors, refer to Figure 2b and Figure 2cThe transistor further includes a bottom dielectric isolation layer (BDI) 550, which is disposed between the channel region 510 and the dielectric layer 410, and the orthographic projection of the BDI 550 on the first cross section SC and the orthographic projection of the channel region 510 on the first cross section SC have an overlapping region (or coincidence), and a gate 531 is provided between the BDI 550 and the channel region 510. In addition, when the BDI 550 is provided, the first insulating layer 610 contacts the surface of the BDI 550 facing the dielectric layer 410 through the third opening KK3.
[0097] Continue to refer to Figure 2a to Figure 2e , the second insulating layer 540 is arranged between adjacent gates 531, and a gate spacer 535 is also arranged between the second insulating layer 540 and the gate 531. In order to realize signal transmission to the second electrode 522, a first contact hole is also arranged in the second insulating layer 540 that penetrates the second insulating layer 540 along the stacking direction F3, and the orthographic projection of the first contact hole on the first cross section SC and the orthographic projection of at least a part of the surface of the second electrode 522 on the side away from the dielectric layer 410 on the first cross section SC have an overlapping area, so that at least a part of the surface of the second electrode 522 on the side away from the dielectric layer 410 is exposed through the first contact hole. Based on this, a second connecting portion 720 is also arranged in the semiconductor device, and the second connecting portion 720 fills the first contact hole, so that the second connecting portion 720 contacts the surface of the second electrode 522 on the side away from the dielectric layer 410 through the first contact hole, so as to realize electrical connection between the second connecting portion 720 and the second electrode 522. In this way, a signal can be transmitted to the second electrode 522 through the second connecting portion 720.
[0098] In order to achieve signal transmission to the first electrode 521, continue to refer to Figure 2c and Figure 2d In the second insulating layer 540, a second contact hole is further provided that penetrates the second insulating layer 540 along the stacking direction F3, and the orthographic projection of the second contact hole on the first cross section SC overlaps with the orthographic projection of at least a portion of the surface of the first electrode 521 on the side away from the dielectric layer 410 on the first cross section SC, so that the first electrode 521 is exposed in the second contact hole. Based on this, a third connecting portion 730 is further provided in the semiconductor device, and the third connecting portion 730 is filled in the second contact hole, so that the third connecting portion 730 contacts the first electrode 521 through the second contact hole, thereby realizing electrical connection between the third connecting portion 730 and the first electrode 521. With this arrangement, a signal can be transmitted to the first electrode 521 through the third connecting portion 730.
[0099] Continue to refer to Figure 2a to Figure 2eAn interconnection layer 810 and a carrier wafer 820 are also provided on the side of the device structure layer 500 away from the dielectric layer 410. The interconnection layer 810 has a first metal interconnection line and a second metal interconnection line. The first metal interconnection line is respectively connected to the second connection part 720 and the carrier wafer 820, and the second metal interconnection line is respectively connected to the third connection part 730 and the carrier wafer 820. Due to the arrangement, the signal can be transmitted on the transmission path formed by the second electrode 522, the second connection part 720, the first metal interconnection line and the carrier wafer 820, and the signal can be transmitted on the transmission path formed by the first electrode 521, the third connection part 730, the second metal interconnection line and the carrier wafer 820.
[0100] To supply power to the transistor, continue to refer to Figure 2a to Figure 2e , a conductive material is filled in the first opening KK1 to form a first connection portion 710 filled in the first opening KK1, which is equivalent to setting the first connection portion 710 at the bottom of the device structure layer 500 (i.e., the second surface SD2 of the dielectric layer 410), and making the first connection portion 710 contact the first electrode 521 through the first opening KK1 to achieve electrical connection between the first connection portion 710 and the first electrode 521, that is, the first connection portion 710 is equivalent to the bottom connection portion. In this way, after forming a BSPDN on the side of the dielectric layer 410 away from the device structure layer 500, the metal wire in the BSPDN is electrically connected to the first connection portion 710, so as to realize the use of the BSPDN to transmit the power signal to the first electrode 521 of the device structure layer 500, so as to supply power to the device structure layer 500. Furthermore, the first cross section SC is located between the first surface SD1 of the dielectric layer 410 and the second surface SD2 of the dielectric layer 410, and the cross-sectional area of the first opening KK1 in the first cross section SC is the first area, which represents the cross-sectional area of the first connection portion 710 at the first cross section SC. Also, the cross-sectional area of the second opening KK2 in the first cross section SC is the second area, and the first area is made larger than the second area, so that the cross-sectional area of the first connection portion 710 at the first cross section SC can be larger than the second area. However, the cross-sectional area of the bottom connection portion in the prior art in the first cross section SC is substantially the same as the second area. Based on this, according to the resistance formula R=ρL / S, since the cross-sectional area of the first connection portion 710 in the present application at the first cross section SC is larger than the cross-sectional area of the bottom connection portion in the prior art at the first cross section SC, the resistance of the first connection portion 710 in the present application is reduced compared to the resistance of the bottom connection portion in the prior art, thereby being able to reduce IR drop and power consumption of semiconductor devices.
[0101] Continue to refer to Figure 2a to Figure 2e, the cross section of the first opening KK1 in the first cross section SC has a first length h11 along the first direction F1, and the cross section of the second opening KK2 in the first cross section SC has a second length h12 along the first direction F1, so that the first length h11 can be greater than the second length h12. Further, the cross section of the first opening KK1 in the first cross section SC has a third length h21 along the second direction F2, and the cross section of the second opening KK2 in the first cross section SC has a fourth length h22 along the second direction F2, so that the third length h21 and the fourth length h22 can be substantially equal. Thus, the first area can be made greater than the second area. It can be understood that in the present application, by making the third length h21 and the fourth length h22 substantially equal, the first length h11 is greater than the second length h12, which is equivalent to expanding the length of the first opening KK1 in the first direction, but not expanding the length of the first opening KK1 in the second direction, thereby avoiding a short circuit between the first electrode 521 and the channel region 510. In addition, the first direction F1 and the second direction F2 are respectively parallel to the first cross section SC, and the first direction F1 is perpendicular to the second direction F2.
[0102] Continue to refer to Figure 2d and Figure 2e , a first angle β1 is formed between the cross section of the first opening KK1 in the first cross section SC and the side wall of the first opening KK1 in the first direction F1, and a second angle β2 is formed between the cross section of the second opening KK2 in the first cross section SC and the side wall of the second opening KK2 in the first direction F1, so that the first angle β1 can be smaller than the second angle β2. With this arrangement, the length of the first opening KK1 can be extended in the first direction by tilting the side wall of the second opening KK2 in the first direction F1. Of course, the first angle β1 can also be made substantially equal to the second angle β2, so that the side wall of the second opening KK2 in the first direction F1 can be translated in the first direction F1, so that the length of the first opening KK1 can be extended in the first direction.
[0103] Reference Figure 2d and Figure 2e The cross-sectional shape of the first electrode 521 in the stacking direction F3 is a first shape, and the cross-sectional shape of the second electrode 522 in the stacking direction F3 is a second shape, and the first shape is different from the second shape. Of course, the first shape and the second shape can also be the same, which is not limited here.
[0104] Furthermore, in order to reduce the contact resistance, Figure 3a for Figure 2a Another cross-sectional structural diagram along the BB' direction, Figure 3b for Figure 2a Another cross-sectional structural diagram along the CC' direction, refer to Figure 3a and Figure 3b , an interface layer 711 is also provided in the semiconductor device, and the interface layer 711 can be provided between the first connection portion 710 and the first electrode 521, so that the contact resistance between the first connection portion 710 and the first electrode 521 is reduced by the interface layer 711. In addition, the interface layer 711 includes a low resistivity material. Exemplarily, the material of the interface layer 711 is a semiconductor material. For example, the interface layer 711 may include silicon or silicon and carbon with a high-activity dopant (the high-activity dopant is, for example, one or both of phosphorus and arsenic). In one embodiment, the active dopant concentration is 4E20cm -3 or greater. It is understandable that Figure 3a and Figure 3b One interface layer 711 is used as an example for illustration. In practical applications, two, three or more stacked interface layers 711 may be provided, which is not limited here.
[0105] To further reduce the contact resistance, refer to Figure 3a and Figure 3b The interface layer 711 is also disposed between the first connection portion 710 and the side wall of the first opening KK1 . That is, the interface layer 711 is also disposed between the first connection portion 710 and the dielectric layer 410 , and the interface layer 711 is also disposed between the first connection portion 710 and the first insulating layer 610 .
[0106] Understandably, in order to Figure 2a The positional relationship of the relevant film layers or structures is clearly described in Figure 2a Some film layers are hidden in the figure, for example, the first insulating layer 610 and other film layers are hidden. For the position relationship of the hidden film layers, please refer to Figure 2b to Figure 2d .
[0107] The present application also provides a method for preparing the semiconductor device, which may include the following contents:

Exemplarily, a semiconductor substrate 10 is provided, and the semiconductor substrate 10 includes a first semiconductor layer 11, an etch stop layer 12 (Etch stop layer, ESL) and a second semiconductor layer 13 which are stacked. The material of the first semiconductor layer 11 includes but is not limited to Si, Ge, etc., the material of the etch stop layer 12 includes but is not limited to SiGe, SiO2, etc., and the material of the second semiconductor layer 13 includes but is not limited to Si, Ge, etc. Exemplarily, the semiconductor substrate 10 can be set as a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, in which the bottom silicon layer in the SOI substrate serves as the second semiconductor layer 13, the buried oxide layer (such as SiO2) serves as the etch stop layer 12, and the top silicon layer serves as the first semiconductor layer 11. Afterwards, an initial BDI 30 is epitaxially grown on the first semiconductor layer 11 of the semiconductor substrate 10. Afterwards, sacrificial layers 21a, 21b, 21c and channel layers 22a, 22b, 22c are alternately epitaxially grown on the initial BDI 30 to form a stacked film layer 20. In addition, the present application does not limit the number of channel layers and sacrificial layers in the stacked film layer 20, for example, it can be 3 to 7 layers. Figure 4b Take three channel layers and three sacrificial layers as an example for illustration. In addition, the present application does not limit the materials of the sacrificial layer and the channel layer. Different types of sacrificial layer materials may be matched with different channel materials according to the requirements of etching selectivity. The sacrificial layer not only plays a certain supporting role for the channel layer, but also needs to be selectively etched and removed, that is, when etching and removing the sacrificial layer, the material of the sacrificial layer has high selectivity compared with the material of the channel layer. Moreover, the sacrificial layer sometimes needs to provide stress for the channel layer. For example, when the material of the channel layer is Si, the material of the corresponding sacrificial layer can be SiGe, and the material of the initial BDI 30 is SiC or SiGe with a different concentration from that of the sacrificial layer.

In addition, the device fin includes: a patterned initial BDI30 and a stacked structure, the stacked structure includes alternating layers of sacrificial layers 21a~21c and channel layers 22a~22c. In addition, the channel layer in the stacked structure can be formed as a nanosheet channel layer (or a nanowire channel layer). Afterwards, in order to isolate adjacent fin structures 20', dielectric materials may be filled in the shallow trenches to form a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure, and the formed STI structure is the dielectric layer 410. Afterwards, a plurality of dummy gate structures 41 are formed that span the active regions B3 of each stacked structure and are spaced apart from each other, and the plurality of dummy gate structures 41 extend along the first direction F1 and are arranged along the second direction F2. Moreover, the same dummy gate structure 41 may span multiple fin structures 20'. In addition, for silicon-based devices, the dummy gate structure 41 may include a dummy gate electrode layer and a dummy gate oxide layer disposed between the dummy gate electrode layer and the stacked structure. Optionally, the material of the dummy gate electrode layer includes, but is not limited to, polysilicon. Afterwards, gate sidewalls 535 are formed on both sides of the dummy gate structure 41 along the second direction F2 to reduce the short channel effect. Furthermore, the gate spacer 535 covers the surface of the dummy gate structure 41 on the side away from the fin structure 20', and the area where the fin structure 20' is located between the gate spacers 535 of two adjacent dummy gate structures 41 is the source and drain region.

Since the sidewall of the substrate fin 23 in the region is the dielectric layer 410, after the substrate fin 23 is removed, a first opening KK1 is formed in the dielectric layer 410. Of course, the first semiconductor layer 11 below the substrate fin 23 can be further etched a certain distance d1 to form a hole below the first opening KK1.

Wherein, since the substrate fin 23 is etched away to form the second opening KK2, the cross-sectional area of the second opening KK2 in the first cross-section SC is SKK2, and the second length of the cross section of the second opening KK2 in the first cross-section SC along the first direction F1 is h12, and the fourth length of the cross section of the second opening KK2 in the first cross-section SC along the second direction F2 is h22. Furthermore, the second angle between the cross section of the second opening KK2 in the first cross-section SC and the side wall of the first opening KK1 in the first direction F1 is β2. Furthermore, since the substrate fin is removed by etching, a third opening KK3 is formed, and the length of the cross section of the third opening KK3 in the first cross section SC along the first direction F1 is substantially the same as h12. Further, the angle between the cross section of the third opening KK3 in the first cross section SC and the side wall of the first opening KK1 in the first direction F1 is substantially the same as β2. Furthermore, since both the first opening KK1 and the second opening KK2 are formed by etching away the substrate fin, SKK2 is substantially the same as SKK1', h11' is substantially the same as h12, β1' is substantially the same as β2, and h22 is substantially the same as h21. Afterwards, a first insulating layer 610 is deposited on the side of the dielectric layer 410 away from the BDI550, and the first insulating layer 610 fills the second opening KK2 and the third opening KK3, and the first insulating layer 610 covers the surface of the dielectric layer 410 away from the BDI. Afterwards, the first insulating layer 610 is planarized by a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process to expose the surface of the sacrificial connection portion facing away from the BDI. It is understandable that the material of the first insulating layer 610 and the material of the dielectric layer 410 may be the same or different, which is not limited here.
[0117] Reference Figures 13a to 13d , Fig.13a FIG. 1 is another schematic top view of the semiconductor device in the embodiment of the present application during the preparation process. Fig.13b for Fig.13a Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the AA' direction, Fig.13c for Fig.13a Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the BB' direction, Fig.13d for Fig.13a Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the CC' direction, Fig.13e for Fig.13aSchematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the DD' direction. Exemplarily, the sacrificial connection portion 710' is etched away, and a partial area or the entire area of the surface of the first electrode 521 facing the first insulating layer 610 is exposed through the first opening KK1. Among them, the first length h11 of the cross section of the first opening KK1 in the first cross section SC along the first direction F1 is h11'. The third length of the cross section of the first opening KK1 in the first cross section SC along the second direction F2 is h21. The first angle between the cross section of the first opening KK1 in the first cross section SC and the side wall of the first opening KK1 in the first direction F1 is β1'.
[0118] Reference Figures 14a to 14d , Fig.14a FIG. 1 is another schematic top view of the semiconductor device in the embodiment of the present application during the preparation process. Fig.14b for Fig.14a Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the AA' direction, Fig.14c for Fig.14a Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the BB' direction, Fig.14d for Fig.14a Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the CC' direction, Fig.14e for Fig.14a Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the DD' direction. Exemplarily, an inclined etching process such as an angled reactive ion etching process is used to etch the side wall of the first opening KK1 in the first direction F1, so that the first angle between the cross section of the first opening KK1 in the first cross section SC and the side wall of the first opening KK1 in the first direction F1 is β1, and the cross section of the first opening KK1 in the first cross section SC is increased from h11' to h11 along the first length h11 in the first direction F1, so that h11>h12. Moreover, h12 does not change, so that the cross-sectional area of the first opening KK1 in the first cross section SC can be increased from SKK1' to SKK1. That is, SKK1>SKK2 is achieved. Furthermore, when an inclined etching process such as an angled reactive ion etching process is used to etch the sidewall of the first opening KK1 in the first direction F1, the sidewall of the first opening KK1 in the first direction F1 can be translated so that β1 is substantially the same as β1', and β1 is substantially the same as β2, or the sidewall of the first opening KK1 in the first direction F1 can be inclined so that β1<β1', and β1<β2. In this way, the length of the first opening KK1 is enlarged in the first direction, but the length of the first opening KK1 is not enlarged in the second direction, so that a short circuit between the first electrode 521 and the channel region 510 can be avoided.
[0119] Reference Figure 2a to Figure 2d, deposit a metal layer on the side of the first insulating layer 610 away from the dielectric layer 410, fill the first opening KK1 with the metal layer, and cover the surface of the first insulating layer 610 away from the BDI550. Then, planarize the metal layer by CMP process, remove the metal layer covering the surface of the first insulating layer 610 away from the BDI550, expose the first insulating layer 610, and form the first connecting portion 710 in the first opening KK1. Alternatively, refer to Figure 3a and Figure 3b , an interface layer is deposited on the side of the first insulating layer 610 away from the dielectric layer 410, and the interface layer covers the surface of the first electrode in the first opening KK1, and covers the sidewall of the first opening KK1. Then, a metal layer is deposited on the side of the first insulating layer 610 away from the dielectric layer 410, and the metal layer fills the first opening KK1, and the metal layer covers the surface of the first insulating layer 610 away from the BDI550. Then, the metal layer is planarized by a CMP process, and the metal layer covering the surface of the first insulating layer 610 away from the BDI550 is removed, exposing the first insulating layer 610, thereby forming a first connecting portion 710 in the first opening KK1.
