AI Technical Summary

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a short channel hybrid contact thin film transistor and a preparation method and related devices thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology, the related technical requirements of many high-tech technologies such as high-resolution active matrix display technology, dynamic random access memory (DRAM) technology and flexible integrated circuit technology are driving the development of thin film transistors towards short channel, high mobility and high stability. Among them, oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) using metal oxides (for example, indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), indium tin zinc oxide (ITZO) or rare earth-doped indium zinc oxide (Ln-IZO)) as channel materials have the characteristics of high mobility, extremely low off-state current, large-area uniform preparation, good stability and compatibility with low-temperature processes. At present, they have become one of the key research objects in the semiconductor field.
[0003] However, as the channel size decreases, oxide thin-film transistors tend to exhibit short channel effects similar to silicon-based transistors (for example, significant negative drift of the threshold voltage, drain-induced barrier reduction, etc.), resulting in the electrical characteristics of the transistor being unable to meet the needs of practical applications. In order to weaken the short channel effect of oxide thin-film transistors, the current mainstream in the industry usually adopts measures such as thinning the oxide channel layer and crystallizing the oxide channel layer to suppress the short channel effect of the transistor. However, it is worth noting that the thinning of the oxide channel layer will cause the device electrical characteristics to be more sensitive to changes in the channel layer thickness, changes in the channel passivation layer material, and changes in the channel passivation layer preparation process, and the crystallization of the oxide channel layer will also cause the device electrical characteristics to be significantly affected by the grain boundaries. These short channel effect suppression measures are not conducive to achieving uniformity of device electrical characteristics when oxide thin-film transistors are prepared on a large scale.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is one of the composition schematic diagrams of the first short channel hybrid contact thin film transistor 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, the short channel hybrid contact thin film transistor 10 provided in the present application can form an ohmic contact or a quasi-ohmic contact between the channel semiconductor film layer and a group of source / drain layers respectively by setting two source layers and two drain layers, and form a depletion region in the local semiconductor region of the channel semiconductor film layer that is in direct contact with another group of source / drain layers, so as to effectively reduce the carrier concentration of the channel semiconductor film layer by utilizing the formed depletion region, and can easily achieve the channel pinch-off effect under the coordinated control of the gate voltage and the drain voltage, thereby significantly suppressing the short channel effect of the transistor device, without the need to adopt measures such as channel layer thinning or channel layer crystallization, which is convenient for improving the uniformity of device electrical characteristics in the large-scale preparation process of transistors, and is beneficial for preparing ultra-short channel high-performance transistor devices.
[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1The short channel hybrid contact thin film transistor 10 shown may include a substrate 11 , a first source-drain electrode layer 12 , a second source-drain electrode layer 13 , a channel semiconductor film layer 14 , a gate dielectric layer 15 and a gate layer 16 .
[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the first source-drain electrode layer 12 is disposed on the substrate 11, and the second source-drain electrode layer 13 is disposed on a surface of the first source-drain electrode layer 12 away from the substrate 11. The first source-drain electrode layer 12 includes a first source layer 121 and a first drain layer 122 spaced apart from each other, and the second source-drain electrode layer 13 includes a second source layer 131 and a second drain layer 132 spaced apart from each other, the first source layer 121 and the second source layer 131 are in contact with and electrically connected to each other, the first drain layer 122 and the second drain layer 132 are in contact with and electrically connected to each other, and the first source layer 121 and the second source layer 131 are combined to serve as the transistor source of the short-channel hybrid contact thin film transistor 10, and the first drain layer 122 and the second drain layer 132 are combined to serve as the transistor drain of the short-channel hybrid contact thin film transistor 10; the first drain layer 122 and the second drain layer 132 are aligned sideways, and the first drain layer 122 and the second drain layer 132 are aligned sideways. At this time, for the first source-drain electrode layer 12, the spacing space corresponding to the first source-drain electrode layer 12 is the space region between the first source layer 121 and the first drain layer 122, and the side wall of the spacing space corresponding to the first source-drain electrode layer 12 is composed of the two side walls facing the first source layer 121 and the first drain layer 122; and for the second source-drain electrode layer 13, the spacing space corresponding to the second source-drain electrode layer 13 is the space region between the second source layer 131 and the second drain layer 132, and the side wall of the spacing space corresponding to the second source-drain electrode layer 13 is composed of the two side walls facing the second source layer 131 and the second drain layer 132.
[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the channel semiconductor film layer 14 grows along the sidewalls of the spaces between the first source-drain electrode layer 12 and the second source-drain electrode layer 13, and partially covers the outer surface of the second source-drain electrode layer 13 away from the substrate 11 (that is, the outer surfaces of the second source layer 131 and the second drain layer 132 away from the substrate 11), and the projection area of the channel semiconductor film layer 14 on the substrate 11 also covers the projection area of the spaces between the first source-drain electrode layer 12 and the second source-drain electrode layer 13 on the substrate 11 (for example, Figure 1The channel semiconductor film layer 14 in the substrate 11 covers the local surface area of the substrate 11 not blocked by the first source-drain electrode layer 12). The channel semiconductor film layer 14 is in direct contact with the respective facing side walls of the second source layer 131 and the second drain layer 132 to achieve ohmic contact or quasi-ohmic contact between the second source layer 131 and the second drain layer 132 and the channel semiconductor film layer 14, wherein the second source layer 131 can independently undertake the task of injecting all or most of the carriers into the channel semiconductor film layer 14 based on the ohmic contact or quasi-ohmic contact.
[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, the gate dielectric layer 15 is used to cover the outer surface areas of the channel semiconductor film layer 14 and the second source-drain electrode layer 13 that are not blocked by the channel semiconductor film layer 14, and the gate layer 16 at least partially covers the gate dielectric layer 15. At the same time, the projection area of the gate layer 16 on the substrate 11 at least simultaneously covers the projection area of the spacing spaces between the first source-drain electrode layer 12 and the second source-drain electrode layer 13 on the substrate 11, so that the gate layer 16 can serve as the transistor gate of the short channel hybrid contact thin film transistor 10.
[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the carrier conductivity type of the first source-drain electrode layer 12 is different from the carrier conductivity type of the channel semiconductor film layer 14 (for example, if the preparation material of the channel semiconductor film layer 14 is an N-type semiconductor material, the preparation material of the first source-drain electrode layer 12 is a P-type conductor material, a P-type semiconductor material, or a metal material whose corresponding work function is greater than that of the N-type semiconductor material; and if the preparation material of the channel semiconductor film layer 14 is a P-type semiconductor material, the preparation material of the first source-drain electrode layer 12 is an N-type conductor material, an N-type semiconductor material, or a metal material whose corresponding work function is less than that of the P-type semiconductor material), so that Figure 1 When the short channel hybrid contact thin film transistor 10 shown in the figure works in a saturation state, the channel semiconductor film layer 14 will form a depletion region 17 in a local semiconductor region directly in contact with the first source layer 121, and at the same time, a depletion region 17 will be formed in a local semiconductor region directly in contact with the first drain layer 122; wherein the depletion region 17 corresponding to the first source layer 121 will extend from the side where the second source layer 131 realizes ohmic (quasi-ohmic) contact to the side where the first drain layer 122 is located, and touch the interlayer interface between the channel semiconductor film layer 14 and the gate dielectric layer 15 on the side of the first drain layer 122 (see Figure 1Meanwhile, the depletion region 17 corresponding to the first drain layer 122 will expand from the bottom side of the first drain layer 122 to the side where the second drain layer 132 achieves ohmic (quasi-ohmic) contact, and will not touch the interlayer interface between the channel semiconductor film layer 14 and the gate dielectric layer 15 on the side close to the second drain layer 132 (see Figure 1 The expansion distribution of the depletion region 17 on the right side of the MOSFET is shown in FIG. 1 ), thereby achieving the pinch-off effect of the channel. Figure 1 The saturated output current of the short-channel mixed-contact thin-film transistor 10 shown is mainly controlled by the extension degree of the depletion region 17 corresponding to the first source layer 121. The depletion region 17 corresponding to the first source layer 121 can adaptively adjust the actual transport intensity of the injected carriers from the transistor source to the transistor drain under the coordinated control of the gate voltage and the drain voltage.
[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the substrate 11 can be a rigid substrate such as glass, silicon dioxide, etc., or a flexible organic polymer substrate such as polyimide, polyethylene naphthalate, etc. It is understood that the actual type of the substrate 11 includes but is not limited to the above examples, and any substrate material that can be used to prepare a conventional oxide thin film transistor device falls within the protection scope of the present application.
[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, the thickness range of the first source-drain electrode layer 12 is 1-1000nm, and the thickness range of the second source-drain electrode layer 13 is 5-1000nm, wherein the spacing width in the same source-drain electrode layer (i.e., the spacing distance between the first source layer 121 and the first drain layer 122, or the spacing distance between the second source layer 131 and the second drain layer 132) is greater than or equal to 5nm; the thickness range of the channel semiconductor film layer 14 is 1-100nm; the thickness range of the gate dielectric layer 15 is 1-1000nm; and the thickness range of the gate layer 16 is 1-1000nm.
[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the second source-drain electrode layer 13 and the gate layer 16 are each made of a metal, an alloy or a transparent conductive oxide material, and the gate dielectric layer 15 is made of a stack of any one or more materials selected from silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, hafnium oxide and zirconium oxide. In one implementation of the present embodiment, the second source-drain electrode layer 13 and the gate layer 16 are each made of any one of aluminum, molybdenum, titanium, chromium, tungsten, nickel, platinum, gold, indium tin oxide material and aluminum-doped zinc oxide material.
