Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and particularly relates to a biosensor with a hat-shaped vertical tunneling field effect transistor and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Biosensors can detect, record and quantify physiological parameters and biochemical processes in the body, and have a significant impact on disease diagnosis and health condition assessment. Label-free biosensors using dielectric-modulated field effect transistors are of great interest due to their fast response time, low power consumption and size compatibility with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology, which solves the complexity and high manufacturing cost associated with labeled detection methods such as fluorescent labeling and radioisotopes. In DMFETs, a cavity is usually etched within the gate metal or oxide region. When biomolecules with different intrinsic properties enter the cavity, changes in electrical properties can be observed, thereby affecting the effective degree of channel-gate coupling. This dielectric modulation-based technology is also very suitable for detecting charged biomolecules.
[0003] However, as the device scale moves into the nanometer realm, MOSFET-based biosensors face increasingly serious short channel effects (SCEs). In particular, power consumption increases significantly, which does not meet the current requirement for integrated circuits to develop towards low power consumption. In addition, due to the thermal injection mechanism of carriers, the sub-threshold swing (SS) of MOSFET-based biosensors does not exceed 60 mV / dec, which also leads to slower device opening speed.
[0004] The working principle of tunnel field effect transistor (TFET) is the quantum mechanical principle of tunneling effect. It allows for lower sub-threshold swing and can achieve below 60 mV / dec at room temperature by reducing the thickness of the oxide and silicon layer. At the same time, the determining factor affecting the TFET biosensor is not the filling amount of biomolecules, the length of its detector can be less than half of the gate length, and it is also compatible with CMOS technology, which is convenient for manufacturing and integration. In recent years, researchers have shown great interest in dielectric-modulated tunnel effect transistor (DM-TFET) biosensors.
[0005] Chinese patent application No. CN112736142A discloses a biosensor based on nanosheet stacked field effect transistor and a preparation method. Three vertically stacked nanosheets constitute a channel, and a nanocavity is etched on the side close to the source end. This structure overcomes the short channel effect, but has the disadvantage of low sensitivity.

IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL, 2020, 20(22): 13178–13185. ), Introducing germanium-silicon buried source regions into the channel region increases the fabrication difficulty of this structure, and also increases the power consumption of the device due to the higher operating gate voltage.
[0007] Shruti Shreya et al. disclosed a biosensor with a core-shell junctionless nanotube tunneling field-effect transistor structure (Core-Shell Junctionless Nanotube Tunnel Field Effect Transistor: Design and Sensitivity Analysis for Biosensing Application [J]. IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL, 2020, 20(2): 672–679). This biosensor uses plasma technology to induce regions with different carrier concentrations on the semiconductor surface to form source and drain regions. However, because its principle is based on charge plasma technology, the device suffers from low conduction current and low sensitivity when detecting biomolecules. Summary of the Invention

[0056] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the beneficial effects that:
[0057] 1. The present application adopts a brim structure at the tunnel junction to increase the tunneling area of the carriers, and due to the embedding of the inner brim channel 2, the carriers of the source region 1 not only undergo lateral tunneling, but also undergo vertical tunneling. When the voltage of the gate metal 5 gradually increases, the brim-shaped structure causes the device to have a mutation point at a certain gate voltage, and the value of the on-current increases sharply. Compared with the recently published TFET biosensor device, the present application effectively solves the defect of insufficient on-current of the TFET.
[0058] 2. The biosensor cavity 3 of the present application adopts a bending structure, which increases the effective coupling degree between the gate metal 5 and the channel 2. The cavity arranged in the horizontal direction not only effectively affects the lateral tunneling of the outer brim, but also affects the vertical tunneling of the outer brim. Based on the structure of the biosensor, the electrical characteristics before and after the coupling of the biomolecules can be greatly changed, and excellent sensitivity performance is exhibited.
[0059] 3. The brim structure of the present application increases the probability of band-to-band tunneling of the source region carriers, effectively suppresses the barrier width at the tunnel junction, and enables the biosensor to exhibit excellent electrical characteristics at a lower voltage, which can be used in the field of low power consumption.
[0060] 4. The structure of the present application, in which the source region is embedded in the channel, increases the modulation effect of the biomolecules in the cavity region on the energy band at the tunnel junction, and increases the detection capability of the biosensor before and after the coupling of the biomolecules.
[0061] 5. The present application forms the drain region contact 7 on the N-type heavily doped substrate 8 by using chemical vapor deposition and dry etching technology, forms the biomolecule detection cavity 3 and high dielectric constant oxide layer 4 by using atomic layer deposition process and dry etching technology, then grows the drain region 6, channel 2 and source region 1 by using epitaxial growth process, forms the gate metal 5 on the surface of the biomolecule detection cavity 3 and high dielectric constant oxide layer 4 by using reactive sputtering process, and forms the polysilicon contact on the surface of the substrate 8 and the source region 1 by chemical vapor deposition. Compared with the existing germanium-silicon buried source region biosensor in the background art, the preparation process of such a complex structure is simpler, and the process cost is reduced.
[0062] In conclusion, the application has the advantages of high on-current, high sensitivity of biomolecule detection, low working voltage, low power consumption and simple preparation process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
