[0087] 3 , in some examples of this embodiment, after forming the first trench 310, the precursor layer 210 may include a plurality of spacers 212 and a connection portion 211 connected to one end of the plurality of spacers 212 in the second direction, the connection portion 211 may extend along the third direction, and the first trench 310 may be located between two adjacent spacers 212. The spacers 212 may be used to prepare a channel layer in a subsequent process.

[0088] In some examples of this embodiment, after forming the first trench 310 , a step of filling a first isolation filling layer 311 in the first trench 310 may be further included. Figure 4A For Figure 3A A schematic diagram of a structure for preparing a first isolation filling layer 311 based on the structure shown in FIG. Figure 4B for Figure 4A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along AA'. Figure 4C for Figure 4A The cross-sectional structure diagram along the line BB' is shown in FIG. 3 , wherein the first isolation filling layer 311 is used for insulating the channel layer to be prepared subsequently.

[0089] Reference Figure 4A to Figure 4C As shown, the first isolation filling layer 311 can fill the first trench 310 and contact the two isolation parts on both sides. The material of the isolation part can include an insulating material. Further, the material of the first isolation filling layer 311 can be the same as that of the support layer 220.

[0090] In some examples of this embodiment, the material of the first isolation filling layer 311 may include one or more of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride.

[0091] Step S2 , performing an amorphization treatment on one side surface of the precursor layer 210 to form an amorphous portion.

[0092] In some examples of this embodiment, before amorphizing one side surface of the precursor layer 210, the following step is further included: removing the connection portion 211 in the precursor layer 210 to form a bit line accommodating area 2101. Further, in some examples of this embodiment, before amorphizing one side surface of the precursor layer 210, the following step is further included: removing a portion of the spacer 212 away from the connection portion 211 to form a capacitor accommodating area 2102. Figure 5A For Figure 4A A schematic diagram of a structure of a bit line accommodating area 2101 and a capacitor accommodating area 2102 formed on the basis of the structure shown in FIG. Figure 5B for Figure 5A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along AA'. Figure 5C for Figure 5A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along BB'. Figure 5A to Figure 5C As shown, the bit line accommodating area 2101 and the capacitor accommodating area 2102 can be arranged between two adjacent support layers 220. It can be understood that there can be a reserved part of the spacer 212 between the bit line accommodating area 2101 and the capacitor accommodating area 2102. The bit line accommodating area 2101 and the capacitor accommodating area 2102 can be used as the preparation area of ​​the bit line 120 and the capacitor 140.

[0093] In the step of forming the bit line accommodating area 2101 and the capacitor accommodating area 2102, the connection portion 211 and part of the spacer 212 may be removed by wet etching. Further, when removing the connection portion 211 and part of the spacer 212, the etching rate of the etchant on the precursor layer 210 may be controlled to be greater than the etching rate of the etchant on the support layer 220, so as to minimize the damage to the support layer 220. For example, the etching selectivity ratio of the etchant to the precursor layer 210 and the support layer 220 may be controlled to be (10-100):1.

[0094] In some examples of this embodiment, before the step of performing amorphization treatment and after forming the bit line accommodating area 2101 and the capacitor accommodating area 2102, the following steps are also included: preparing a bit line sacrificial layer 213 in the bit line accommodating area 2101 and preparing a capacitor sacrificial layer 214 in the capacitor accommodating area 2102. Fig. 6A For Figure 5A A schematic diagram of a structure for preparing a bit line sacrificial layer 213 and a capacitor sacrificial layer 214 based on the structure shown in FIG. Figure 6B for Fig. 6A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along AA'. Figure 6C for Fig. 6A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along BB'. Figure 6A to Figure 6C As shown, the bit line sacrificial layer 213 and the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 can fill the bit line accommodating area 2101 and the capacitor accommodating area 2102. The bit line sacrificial layer 213 and the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 can temporarily fill the vacancies in the bit line accommodating area 2101 and the capacitor accommodating area 2102 and protect the precursor layer 210 located therein.

[0095] In some examples of this embodiment, the material of the bit line sacrificial layer 213 and the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 may be the same.

[0096] In some examples of this embodiment, the material of the protective filling layer and the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 may be an insulating material. Further, the material of the protective filling layer and / or the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 may be different from the material of the first isolation filling layer 311, so that the two can be etched with different etchants respectively, and the mutual influence between the two during the etching process is reduced.

[0097] In some examples of this embodiment, the material of the bit line sacrificial layer 213 and the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 may include one or more of silicon oxide, silicon nitride and silicon oxynitride. In this embodiment, the material of the first isolation filling layer 311 may be silicon oxide, and the material of the protection filling layer may be silicon nitride.

[0098] In some examples of this embodiment, before the step of amorphizing one side surface of the precursor layer 210 , the following step may be further included: forming a second trench 320 exposing the precursor layer 210 in the first isolation filling layer 311 .

[0099] In some examples of this embodiment, the step of performing amorphization treatment on one side surface of the precursor layer 210 includes: injecting ions into the surface layer of the precursor layer 210 by ion implantation. Fig. 7A For Fig. 6A A schematic diagram of a structure in which a second trench 320 is formed and ion implantation is performed on the basis of the structure shown in FIG. Figure 7B for Fig. 7A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along AA'. Figure 7C for Fig. 7A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along BB'.

[0100] Reference Figure 7A to Figure 7C As shown, the second trench 320 may penetrate the first isolation filling layer 311 along the first direction, and the second trench 320 may be located on one side of the precursor layer 210 in the third direction, and expose the side surface of the precursor layer 210 in the third direction. Further, since the side surface of the precursor layer 210 is exposed from the second trench 320, ions can be directly implanted into the surface layer of the precursor layer 210. After the ions are implanted, the original lattice in the precursor layer 210 is destroyed, thereby forming an amorphous portion.

[0101] In some examples of this embodiment, the implanted element may be the same as the element in the precursor layer 210. For example, the precursor layer 210 may include silicon element, and the implanted element is also silicon element.

[0102] Step S3 , preparing a crystallization inducing layer in contact with the amorphous portion and performing a heat treatment, so that at least a portion of the precursor layer 210 is converted into a single crystal material and forms a channel layer.

[0103] In some examples of this embodiment, the precursor layer 210 includes silicon elements, and the material of the crystallization inducing layer includes silicon-nickel metal compounds. Further, the silicon-nickel metal compound may include nickel disilicide (NiSi2), and the lattice mismatch rate between nickel disilicide and single-crystalline silicon is only 0.4%, so the silicon atoms in amorphous silicon can be rearranged based on its surface and form single-crystalline silicon. Specifically, the silicon-nickel metal compound can be attached to the surface of the amorphous portion. When subjected to heat treatment, the atoms in the amorphous portion are first rearranged to form a single-crystalline material. Subsequently, the conversion process is gradually carried out toward the interior of the precursor layer 210 in a direction away from the amorphous inducing layer, and the atoms located inside are gradually rearranged and formed into a single-crystalline material, thereby eventually converting part or all of the precursor layer 210 into a single-crystalline material and forming the desired channel layer.

[0104] In some examples of this embodiment, the step of preparing a crystallization inducing layer in contact with the amorphous portion includes: preparing a nickel metal material layer 215 on the amorphous portion, and reacting the nickel metal material layer 215 with the amorphous portion to form the crystallization inducing layer. Fig. 8A For Fig. 7A A schematic diagram of a structure in which a nickel metal material layer 215 is deposited on the basis of the structure shown in FIG. Figure 8B for Fig. 8A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along AA'. Figure 8C for Fig. 8A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along BB'. Figure 8A to Figure 8C As shown, the nickel metal material layer 215 may be filled in the second trench 320 , and the nickel metal material layer 215 is located on one side of each precursor layer 210 in the third direction and directly contacts each precursor layer 210 .

[0105] In some examples of this embodiment, the nickel metal material layer 215 may be deposited in the second trench 320 by physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition. After the nickel metal material layer 215 is deposited, the nickel metal material layer 215 and the precursor layer 210 may be heated to react the nickel metal material layer 215 with the amorphous portion and form a silicon-nickel metal compound as a crystallization inducing layer at the interface therebetween.

[0106] In some examples of this embodiment, in the step of heating the nickel metal material layer 215 and the precursor layer 210, the heating temperature can be controlled below 280°C to ensure the formation of nickel disilicide with a better lattice structure, thereby improving the quality of the single crystal silicon finally formed.

[0107] In some examples of this embodiment, after forming the crystallization inducing layer, a step of removing the nickel metal material layer 215 may be further included. The nickel metal material layer 215 may be removed by wet etching, which can selectively remove the nickel metal material layer 215 and retain the crystallization inducing layer.

[0108] In some examples of this embodiment, in the step of heat treating the crystallization inducing layer and the precursor layer 210, the temperature of the heat treatment can be controlled to be 400°C to 600°C to induce the precursor layer 210 to be converted into a single crystal material and ensure the quality of the single crystal material. Further, the temperature of the heat treatment can be controlled to be 400°C, 420°C, 450°C, 470°C, 500°C, 520°C, 550°C, 570°C or 600°C, or the temperature of the heat treatment can also be within the range between any two of the above temperatures.

[0109] In some examples of this embodiment, for the precursor layer 210 containing doping elements, the doping elements are doped into the single crystal material during the heat treatment process to obtain a channel layer with higher carrier mobility.

[0110] In some examples of this embodiment, after removing the nickel metal material layer 215 , a step of preparing a second isolation protection layer 150 in the second trench 320 may be further included, and the second isolation protection layer 150 may fill the second trench 320 .

[0111] In some examples of this embodiment, the material of the second isolation filling layer 321 may be the same as that of the first isolation filling layer 311 .

[0112] In some examples of this embodiment, the material of the second isolation filling layer 321 may include one or more of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride. In this embodiment, the material of the second isolation filling layer 321 may be silicon oxide.

[0113] In the process of inducing the formation of a single crystal material through the crystallization inducing layer, since the transformation process is gradually carried out in the direction away from the crystallization inducing layer, and solid phase materials that hinder the transformation process may exist in the precursor layer 210, resulting in the precursor layer 210 not being completely transformed into a single crystal material. At this time, there may still be a part of the precursor layer 210 that has not been transformed on the side of the single crystal material away from the crystallization inducing layer, affecting the quality of the channel layer.

[0114] In order to improve the above problem, in some examples of this embodiment, after forming the single crystal material, the following steps may be further included: forming a third trench 330 on a side of the precursor layer 210 away from the second isolation filling layer 321, and etching the precursor layer 210 exposed from the third trench 330 to remove at least a portion of the precursor layer 210. The third trench 330 may be formed by etching at least a portion of the retained first isolation filling layer 311.

[0115] Fig.9A For Fig. 8A A schematic diagram of a structure in which a third trench 330 is formed on the basis of the structure shown in FIG. 1 and the precursor layer 210 is etched. Fig. 9B for Fig.9A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along AA'. Fig. 9C for Fig.9A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along BB'. Figures 9A to 9CAs shown, the surface of one side of the precursor layer 210 away from the second isolation filling layer 321 can be exposed from the third groove 330 and etched away during the etching process. In some examples of this embodiment, the method of etching the precursor layer 210 can be wet etching. It can be understood that due to the difference in crystal phase, the precursor layer 210 has a relatively high etching rate relative to the single crystal material, so the single crystal material can be retained during the etching process. Among them, after the precursor layer 210 is etched, a vacant area located between the bit line sacrificial layer 213 and the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 is generated.

[0116] In some examples of this embodiment, after etching the precursor layer 210 , a step of preparing a protection layer 150 in the vacant area may be further included. Fig. 10A For Fig.9A A schematic diagram of a structure for preparing a protective layer 150 based on the structure shown in FIG. Fig. 10B for Fig. 10A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along AA'. Fig. 10C for Fig. 10A The cross-sectional structure diagram along the middle line BB' is shown in FIG. The protection layer 150 may be located between the bit line sacrificial layer 213 and the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 and fill the vacant area. The protection layer 150 may also be connected to the bit line sacrificial layer 213, the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 and the channel layer 110 to protect the channel layer and enhance its structural stability.

[0117] Reference Figures 10A to 10C As shown, in some examples of this embodiment, after etching the precursor layer 210, a step of preparing a third isolation filling layer 331 in the third trench 330 may be further included. Further, the third isolation filling layer 331 may be located on a side of the protection layer 150 away from the channel layer.

[0118] In some examples of this embodiment, the material of the third isolation filling layer 331 may be the same as the material of the protection layer 150. Further, the third isolation filling layer 331 and the protection layer 150 may be prepared at the same time.

[0119] In some examples of this embodiment, the material of the third isolation filling layer 331 may be the same as that of the second isolation filling layer 321 .

[0120] In some examples of this embodiment, the material of the third isolation filling layer 331 may include one or more of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride. In this embodiment, the material of the third isolation filling layer 331 may be silicon oxide.

[0121] It can be understood that through steps S1 to S3 , in this embodiment, after forming the channel layer 110 , the steps of forming the bit line 120 , the word line 130 and the capacitor 140 may be further included.

[0122] Step S4 , preparing the bit lines 120 and the word lines 130 .

[0123] In this embodiment, the bit line 120 can be formed in the bit line accommodating area 2101 and contact the channel layer 110 , and the word line 130 can be formed on the side of the channel layer 110 in the third direction. Further, the word line 130 can be formed on the side of the channel layer 110 away from the protection layer 150 .

[0124] In some examples of this embodiment, the step of preparing the bit line 120 and the word line 130 may include: removing the bit line sacrificial layer 213, preparing a word line hole in the second isolation filling layer 321, and preparing the bit line 120 and the word line 130 in the bit line accommodating area 2101 and the word line hole, respectively.

[0125] Fig.11A For Fig. 10A A schematic diagram of a structure in which the bit line sacrificial layer 213 is removed and word line holes are prepared based on the structure shown in FIG. Fig. 11B for Fig.11A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along AA'. Fig. 11C for Fig.11A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along BB'. Figures 11A to 11C As shown, the bit line sacrificial layer 213 is removed to expose the bit line accommodating region 2101 , and the axial direction of the word line hole may be along the first direction, and the word line hole may penetrate the second isolation filling layer 321 in the first direction.

[0126] Fig. 12A For Fig.11A A schematic diagram of a structure of preparing a bit line 120 and a word line 130 based on the structure shown in FIG. Fig. 12B for Fig. 12A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along AA'. Fig. 12C for Fig. 12A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along BB'. Figures 12A to 12C As shown, the bit line 120 may be disposed in the bit line accommodating region 2101, and the bit line 120 may extend along the third direction, and the bit line 120 may be electrically connected to a plurality of parallel channel layers 110 located in the third direction. The word line 130 may be disposed in the word line hole, and the word line 130 may extend along the first direction, and the word line 130 may be electrically connected to a plurality of parallel channel layers 110 located in the first direction.

[0127] In some examples of this embodiment, the word line 130 includes a gate dielectric layer and a gate. The material of the gate can be the same as that of the bit line 120, so that the gate and the bit line 120 can be prepared and formed in the same process.

[0128] In some examples of this embodiment, the material of the bit line 120 may be selected from one or more of titanium and titanium nitride, and the material of the gate may also be selected from one or more of titanium and titanium nitride.

[0129] In some examples of this embodiment, the gate dielectric layer may be formed by deposition, or the gate dielectric layer may be formed by oxidizing the channel layer 110 .

[0130] Step S5, preparing the capacitor 140.

[0131] In this embodiment, the capacitor 140 may be fabricated in the capacitor accommodating region 2102 and contact the channel layer 110 .

[0132] In some examples of this embodiment, the step of preparing the capacitor 140 may include: removing the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 , and sequentially preparing an outer electrode 143 , a dielectric layer 142 , and an inner electrode 141 in the capacitor accommodating area 2102 .

[0133] Fig.13A For Fig. 12A A schematic diagram of a structure in which the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 is removed from the structure shown in FIG. Fig. 13B for Fig.13A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along AA'. Fig. 13C for Fig.13A Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along BB'. Figures 13A to 13C As shown, the channel layer 110 has a capacitor accommodation region 2102 on one side away from the bit line 120 . The capacitor accommodation region 2102 is located between two adjacent support layers 220 , and the capacitor accommodation region 2102 is also located between the second isolation filling layer 321 and the third isolation filling layer 331 .

[0134] In some examples of this embodiment, the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 may be removed by dry etching or wet etching. It is understood that since the material of the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 is different from the material of the second isolation layer and the material of the third isolation layer, the capacitor sacrificial layer 214 may be removed more preferentially to obtain the hole-shaped capacitor accommodating area 2102.

[0135] The outer electrode 143, the dielectric layer 142 and the inner electrode 141 can be prepared in sequence in the capacitor accommodation area 2102. In some examples of this embodiment, the outer electrode 143, the dielectric layer 142 and the inner electrode 141 can be prepared by deposition. During the preparation process, the deposition time can be controlled so that the outer electrode 143 is attached to the hole wall of the capacitor accommodation area 2102, and the side of the outer electrode 143 away from the hole wall also has an inner hole. Further, the dielectric layer 142 can be attached to the hole wall of the inner hole of the outer electrode 143, the side of the dielectric layer 142 away from the outer electrode 143 also has an inner hole, and the inner electrode 141 can be filled in the inner hole of the dielectric layer 142.

In the preparation method of the semiconductor structure disclosed in the present invention, a multi-layer support layer and a precursor layer are first prepared, the precursor layer is amorphized to form an amorphous portion, and then a crystallization inducing layer is used to convert the precursor layer into a single crystal material and form a channel layer.
