Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular, relates to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same. Background Art
[0002] In modern storage and computing architecture, storage devices play an increasingly important role. Most of the current large-capacity storage is a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) with one transistor and one capacitor, that is, 1T1C DRAM. Its manufacturing process has special requirements for capacitors and transistors, which are difficult to match with the advanced manufacturing process of current logic circuits. In addition, the von Neumann storage and computing system often separates DRAM from the central control processing unit CPU, and its data interaction requires long-distance communication; therefore, the data transmission speed between storage and computing gradually mismatches. In this context, 2T0C storage devices, also known as capacitorless DRAM, have better size miniaturization because they do not require the preparation of capacitors, providing a good solution.
[0003] A vertical complementary field effect transistor (CFET) is a type of P-type and N-type field effect transistor that are stacked vertically so that the two share a gate electrode as a signal input, while the drain is connected as a signal output, and the two sources are grounded and powered respectively. This design allows the size of the N-type CFET and P-type CFET to be adjusted according to performance requirements, and the channels of the N-type CFET and P-type CFET can use different semiconductor materials to achieve mobility matching, thereby increasing the drive current. In addition, the vertical stacking structure helps to reduce device size and improve chip integration.
[0004] The arrangement of CFET can effectively integrate multiple functional devices and reduce their power consumption. However, the process of CFET prepared in the back-end is a vertical process, which requires two transistors to be stacked vertically within a unit area, which requires a top-gate transistor and a back-gate transistor; and in the preparation of 2T0C DRAM, both transistors use the same transistor structure, either all top-gate or all back-gate, which is difficult to be effectively compatible with the process of preparing CFET in the back-end.

[0047] Most of the existing semiconductor manufacturing processes are based on silicon, which inevitably introduces high-temperature steps in transistors; further multi-layer transistor manufacturing will be restricted by high temperatures, causing the lower-layer transistors to fail, so traditional processes are mainly based on single-layer devices. Transistors manufactured using back-end compatible channels (such as oxide semiconductors) have lower manufacturing temperatures and the potential for large-scale manufacturing, making multi-layer stacked transistors possible.
[0048] In addition, the NP complementary transistor arrangement can effectively integrate multiple functional devices and reduce their power consumption. However, for the vertical complementary transistor CFET prepared in the back-end, its process is a vertical process, which requires two transistors to be stacked vertically in a unit area, which requires a top-gate transistor and a back-gate transistor; in the preparation of today's capacitor-free DRAM, both transistors use a common transistor structure, but usually all use top gate or all use back gate, making it difficult to be effectively compatible with the back-end CFET process.
[0049] In view of the above problems existing in the related art, the present application provides a semiconductor device. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a semiconductor device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0054] A first gate layer 104, the first gate layer 104 includes a first gate 1041 located on a side of the first channel layer 1031 away from the substrate 101, which serves as a gate of the top gate transistor of the capacitor-free DRAM, a second gate 1042 located on a side of the second channel layer 1032 away from the substrate 101, which serves as a gate of the top gate transistor of the CFET, and a third gate 1043 located in the first region, which serves as a gate of the back gate transistor of the capacitor-free DRAM;
[0055] In addition, in order to achieve gate insulation, a first gate oxide layer 105 may be further formed on the side of the first gate layer 104 close to the base substrate 101, and a second gate oxide layer 106 may be formed on the side of the first gate layer 104 away from the base substrate 101, and a first via hole 109 is formed on the second gate oxide layer 106, and the first via hole 109 exposes the first gate 1041;
[0056] A second type semiconductor layer 107 is formed on a side of the second gate oxide layer 106 away from the substrate 101, the second type semiconductor layer 107 includes a third channel layer 1071 and a fourth channel layer 1072, the third channel layer 1071 is formed on a side of the third gate away from the substrate 101, and serves as a channel layer of a back-gate transistor of the above-mentioned capacitor-free DRAM, and the fourth channel layer 1072 is formed on a side of the second gate 1042 away from the substrate 101, and serves as a channel layer of a back-gate transistor of the CFET;
[0057] A second source-drain electrode layer 108 is formed on the side of the second gate oxide layer 106 away from the substrate 101. The second source-drain electrode layer 108 includes a third source 1081 and a third drain 1082, as well as a fourth source 1083 and a fourth drain 1084. The third source 1081 and the third drain 1082 are electrically connected to the two ends of the third channel layer 1071, respectively, and serve as the source and drain of the back-gate transistor of the above-mentioned capacitor-free DRAM, and the third drain 1082 is electrically connected to the first gate 1041 through the first via 109, and the fourth source 1083 and the fourth drain 1084 are electrically connected to the two ends of the fourth channel layer 1072, respectively, and serve as the source and drain of the back-gate transistor of the CFET.
[0058] The capacitor-free DRAM provided by the above embodiment of the present application has a drain of the back-gate transistor, i.e., the third drain 1082, electrically connected to the gate of the top-gate transistor, i.e., the first gate 1041, through the first via 109. The back-gate transistor and the top-gate transistor can be used as a write tube and a read tube respectively.
[0059] The CFET located in the second region of the semiconductor device includes a back-gate transistor and a top-gate transistor, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the top-gate transistor and the back-gate transistor are stacked in the vertical direction. By adjusting the order of the process steps, the upper and lower positions of the two transistors can be interchanged without affecting the function of the back-end CFET device. The CFET is equivalent to an independent N transistor and an independent P transistor. Through lead interconnection, each can realize its own required function, but only occupies one unit area.
[0060] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, wherein the semiconductor device includes a first region and a second region, wherein the first region forms a back-end complementary capacitor-free DRAM, and the second region forms a CFET, thereby realizing the simultaneous provision of capacitor-free DRAM and CFET in the same semiconductor device, and the two are also corresponding in each layer structure, so that both can be prepared through a set of process flows, and for the capacitor-free DRAM, its top-gate transistor and back-gate transistor can also be prepared in coordination. Such a back-end CFET can be compatible with the integration of different channel materials, prepare functional modules with different requirements, and realize the multifunctional integration of the back-end CFET.
[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the semiconductor device is also formed with a second via 110, which penetrates the first gate oxide layer 105 and the second gate oxide layer 1032, and the second drain 1024 is electrically connected to the fourth drain 1084 through the second via. When the CFET is opened by the via process, the back-gate transistor and the top-gate transistor share the second gate 1042 as the signal input terminal. When the input signal is at a high level, the back-gate transistor connected to the power supply terminal is turned off, and the top-gate transistor connected to the ground line is turned on. The fourth drain 1084 and the second drain 1024 are interconnected as the output terminal. At this time, the back-gate transistor pulls the output terminal voltage down to the low level of the ground terminal. Conversely, when the input terminal is at a low level, the top-gate transistor is turned on, the back-gate transistor is turned off, and the top-gate transistor pulls the output terminal voltage up to the high level of the power supply terminal to realize the inverter function.
[0062] In some embodiments, the second via 110 includes a first sub-via 1101 and a second sub-via 1102, the first sub-via 1101 penetrates the first gate oxide layer 105, the second sub-via 1102 penetrates the second gate oxide layer 106, and the projections of the first sub-via 1101 and the second sub-via 1102 on the base substrate 101 at least partially overlap. Therefore, in the preparation process of the semiconductor device, the first sub-via 1101 can be prepared after the first gate oxide layer 105 is prepared, and then the second sub-via 1101 can be prepared after the second gate oxide layer 106 is prepared.
[0063] In some embodiments, the first type semiconductor layer 103 is an N-type semiconductor material layer, and the second type semiconductor layer 107 is a P-type semiconductor material layer; or, the first type semiconductor layer 103 is a P-type semiconductor material layer, and the second type semiconductor layer 107 is an N-type semiconductor material layer.
[0064] Among them, the N transistor is a back-gate transistor, and the P transistor is a top-gate transistor; the top gate or back gate of the two can be replaced with each other, but it should be noted that the material with lower leakage (usually N transistor) needs to be used as the write tube of the 2T0C DRAM memory to ensure sufficiently good storage retention characteristics.
[0065] In some embodiments, the N-type semiconductor material layer can be made of any material with low leakage, post-processable and good uniformity. For example, IGZO, IWO, ITO and other oxide semiconductor materials. The P-type semiconductor material layer can be made of any material that can be post-processed, can be prepared on a large scale and has good uniformity. For example, P-type oxide semiconductor materials such as TeOx and SnO, P-type two-dimensional materials, P-type carbon nanotubes, etc.
[0066] In some embodiments, the capacitor-free DRAM located in the first region of the semiconductor device can be composed of a top-gate P-type read tube and a back-gate N-type write tube, wherein the third drain 1082 of the N-type write tube is connected to the write tube bit line, the third gate 1043 is connected to the write tube word line, and the third source 1081 is connected to the first gate 1041 of the P-type read tube. When data needs to be written, the data is supplied to the write tube bit line in the form of voltage; a high voltage is set at the end of the write tube word line to turn on the N-type write tube, and the voltage at the storage node (Storage Node, SN) is pulled down or pulled up by the write tube bit line. When this unit does not need to write data, the write tube word line is grounded or a negative voltage is set to turn off the write tube and keep the data of SN. The two ends of the read tube are respectively connected to the read tube word line and the bit line, and grounded in the non-selected state to turn off the P-type read tube. When selected to read data, the read tube bit line is given a higher voltage and the read tube word line is given a lower voltage, so that the current is read out to judge the potential at the storage node, thereby realizing the memory function.
[0067] The present application also provides a method for preparing a semiconductor device, by which the above-mentioned Figure 1 A semiconductor device 10 in the illustrated embodiment. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a method for preparing a semiconductor device provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the specific structure can be referred to Figure 1 As shown, the semiconductor device 10 can be divided into a first region and a second region, the first region is used to form a capacitor-free DRAM, and the second region is used to form a CFET.
