Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0046] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present application, but the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0047] Secondly, the present application will be described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of the present application in detail, for the convenience of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure will be enlarged locally out of the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples and should not limit the protection scope of the present application herein. In addition, in actual production, three-dimensional spatial dimensions including length, width, and depth should be included.
[0048] The current field effect transistor has a problem of substrate parasitic leakage in the short channel. A heavily doped well can be formed in the substrate during the manufacturing process of the field effect transistor to suppress the parasitic leakage problem of the field effect transistor in the short channel by using the heavily doped well, but the heavily doped well cannot completely avoid parasitic leakage.
[0049] In addition, during the manufacturing process of the field effect transistor, an intermediate isolation layer needs to be formed between the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure. The intermediate isolation layer serves as an insulating medium to separate the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure. The formation process of the intermediate isolation layer is to first form a stacked structure in which silicon germanium (SiGe) layers and silicon (Si) layers with different germanium contents are alternately stacked. The Ge content of the SiGe layer in the middle region of the stacked structure is the highest. The SiGe layer with a high Ge content is selectively removed to form a gap, and then some isolation medium is filled into the gap to form the intermediate isolation layer. However, this method has extremely high requirements for material selectivity and isolation medium filling, and the process complexity is relatively high.
[0050] Therefore, there is a current need to reduce the process complexity of field effect transistors and improve performance.
[0051] Based on this, the present application provides a field effect transistor, including: a bottom dielectric isolation layer, the bottom dielectric isolation layer includes a first bonding layer and a second bonding layer, that is, the bottom dielectric isolation layer at the bottom of the field effect transistor is formed by bonding the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer, so as to realize the setting of an insulating dielectric under the subsequently formed channel structure, and this insulating dielectric can avoid the substrate parasitic leakage problem existing in the field effect transistor under short channel; a top source, a top drain, a top channel structure, a bottom source, a bottom drain, and a bottom channel structure disposed on one side of the bottom dielectric isolation layer, the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure are isolated by an intermediate dielectric layer, and in the direction perpendicular to the plane where the bottom dielectric isolation layer is located, the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure overlap; the top channel structure is located between the top source and the top drain, the bottom channel structure is located between the bottom source and the bottom drain, and the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure include a stack formed by a plurality of nanosheets, and the gate surrounds the nanosheets, that is, the buried oxide layer can be used as the insulating dielectric between the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure, greatly reducing the process complexity of forming the insulating layer between the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure; that is, the insulating dielectric at the bottom of the channel structure is formed by bonding the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer, and the insulating dielectric between the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure is formed by the intermediate dielectric layer, which not only avoids the substrate parasitic leakage problem existing in the field effect transistor under short channel, but also can reduce the process complexity of forming the insulating dielectric between the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure, and finally improve the performance of the manufactured field effect transistor.
[0052] To better understand the technical solutions and technical effects of the present application, specific embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0053] See Figure 1 , which is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of a field effect transistor provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 are respectively obtained by taking cross-sections of Figure 1 in the XX direction and the YY direction. The field effect transistor provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a bottom dielectric isolation layer (BDI) 200, a top source 133, a top drain 134, a top channel structure, a bottom source 131, a bottom drain 132, a bottom channel structure, and a gate 160.
[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200 includes a first bonding layer 210 and a second bonding layer 220. The bottom dielectric isolation layer 200 is composed of the first bonding layer 210 and the second bonding layer 220 after bonding the first substrate 110 and the silicon-on-insulator substrate 310 using the first bonding layer 210 and the second bonding layer 220.
[0055] Specifically, the first bonding layer 210 is formed on the first substrate 110, and the first stacked structure and the second bonding layer 220 are formed on the silicon-on-insulator substrate 310. Among them, the first stacked structure is obtained by alternately laminating a plurality of first semiconductor layers 121 and a plurality of second semiconductor layers 122. The silicon-on-insulator substrate 310 includes a bottom semiconductor substrate 311, a buried oxide layer 123, and a top semiconductor substrate 312 that are stacked. Bond the first substrate 110 and the silicon-on-insulator substrate 310 with the second bonding layer 220 facing the first bonding layer 210. The first bonding layer 210 and the second bonding layer 220 are in direct contact to form the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200. After bonding, the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200 is used as the bottom substrate of the field-effect transistor, overcoming the parasitic leakage problem of the bottom heavily doped well (GP Well) in the traditional bulk silicon field-effect transistor.
[0056] As a possible implementation, the thickness of the first bonding layer 210 is greater than the thickness of the second bonding layer 220, that is, the thicker first bonding layer 210 and the thinner second bonding layer 220 are used for bonding to construct the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200.
[0057] As a possible implementation, the thickness range of the first bonding layer 210 and the second bonding layer 220 is 1 - 1000 nm, that is, the thickness range of the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200 is 1 - 1000 nm, so as to realize the control of the parasitic leakage problem by controlling the thickness of the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200.
[0058] As a possible implementation, the material of the first bonding layer 210 or the second bonding layer 220 is an insulating material, so as to realize the suppression of parasitic leakage. The material of the first bonding layer 210 or the second bonding layer 220 is SiO 2 、SiN x 、SiNO、SiCO、SiCNO and SiCN or a combination of one or more of them.
[0059] As a possible implementation, the first substrate 110 is a silicon substrate, a germanium substrate, or a silicon-germanium substrate, and the silicon-on-insulator substrate 310 is a silicon-on-insulator substrate, a germanium-on-insulator substrate, or a germanium-silicon-on-insulator substrate. That is to say, the materials of the bottom semiconductor substrate 311 and the top semiconductor substrate 312 are silicon, germanium, or silicon-germanium.
[0060] The top source 133, the top drain 134, the top channel structure, the bottom source 131, the bottom drain 132, and the bottom channel structure are disposed on one side of the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200. The top channel structure and the bottom channel structure include a stack formed by a plurality of nanosheets, and the stack formed by the nanosheets is obtained by removing the second semiconductor layer 122 from the plurality of first semiconductor layers 121 and the plurality of second semiconductor layers 122 stacked alternately. In a direction perpendicular to the plane where the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200 is located, the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure overlap.
[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the conduction types of the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure may be different, so as to form a complementary field effect transistor. For example, the conduction types of the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure are N-type and P-type respectively; or P-type and N-type.
[0062] Specifically, for different device types, the materials of the first semiconductor layer 121 and the second semiconductor layer 122 may be the same. For example, the material of the first semiconductor layer 121 of a P-type semiconductor device and an N-type semiconductor device may be silicon germanium, and the material of the second semiconductor layer 122 may be silicon or germanium. For different device types, the materials of the first semiconductor layer 121 and the second semiconductor layer 122 may be different. For example, for a P-type semiconductor device, the material of the first semiconductor layer 121 may be silicon, and the material of the second semiconductor layer 122 may be silicon germanium. For an N-type semiconductor device, the material of the first semiconductor layer 121 may be silicon germanium, and the material of the second semiconductor layer 122 may be silicon.
[0063] As an example, the complementary field effect transistor includes a top N-type field effect transistor and a bottom P-type field effect transistor. The materials of the first semiconductor layer 121 of the top N-type field effect transistor and the bottom P-type field effect transistor are the same, and the second semiconductor layer 122 is also the same. The material of the first semiconductor layer 121 may be silicon germanium, where the proportion of germanium is 30%, and the material of the second semiconductor layer 122 may be silicon.
[0064] In a direction parallel to the surface of the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200, the top channel structure is located between the top source 133 and the top drain 134, and the bottom channel structure is located between the bottom source 131 and the bottom drain 132.
[0065] In a direction perpendicular to the plane where the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200 is located, an intermediate dielectric layer is provided between the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure, that is, the intermediate dielectric layer isolates the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure, thereby forming a separation between the upper and lower transistors of the field effect transistor.
[0066] As a possible implementation manner, the thickness of the first bonding layer 210 is greater than the thickness of the intermediate dielectric layer.
[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the intermediate dielectric layer includes a first portion located at the center and second portions located at both sides of the first portion, wherein the second portion extends along both sides of the surface of the first portion in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200, and the thickness of the second portion is greater than the thickness of the first portion. In other words, the intermediate dielectric layer has an H-shaped structure.
[0068] Specifically, the first part and the second part include a contact interface, that is, the first part and the second part are not formed at the same time, and the first part and the second part are in contact with each other via the contact interface.
[0069] Specifically, the material of the buried oxide layer 123 is an insulating material, and the thickness of the buried oxide layer is in the range of 1-100 nm. The material of the buried oxide layer 123 can be the same as or different from the material of the inner sidewall 206 .
[0070] As a possible implementation manner, in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200 is located, the top source 133 overlaps with the bottom source 131 , and the top drain 134 overlaps with the bottom drain 132 .
[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, there is a gap between the multiple nanosheets in the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure, and the gap is filled with a gate 160, that is, the gate 160 surrounds the nanosheet to form a ring-gate structure.
[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, inner sidewalls 206 are disposed between adjacent nanosheets, and the material of the inner sidewalls 206 may be one or more of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxycarbide, boron nitride and low-k materials.
[0073] An interface layer, a high-k dielectric layer and a work function layer may be arranged between the gate 160 and the nanosheet, that is, the interface layer is arranged around the nanosheet, the high-k dielectric layer is arranged around the interface layer, and the work function layer is arranged around the high-k dielectric layer. The material of the interface layer may be silicon oxide. The material of the high-k dielectric layer may be HfO 2 、HfSiO x , HfON, HfSiON, HfAlOx, HfLaO x 、Al 2 O 3 、ZrO 2 、ZrSiO x 、 2 O 5 or La 2 O 3 One or a combination of.
[0074] Field effect transistors of different device types in a field effect transistor can be implemented using different types of work function layers. The different types of work function layers include a first type of work function layer 710 and a second type of work function layer 720. The first type of work function layer 710 is one of a P-type work function layer (P-WFL) and an N-type work function layer (N-WFL), and the second type of work function layer 720 is the other of the P-type work function layer and the N-type work function layer.
[0075] As an example, the work function layer of the top N-type field effect transistor is the first type of work function layer 710, and the work function layer of the bottom P-type field effect transistor is the second type of work function layer 720. The first type of work function layer 710 is an N-type work function layer, and the second type of work function layer 720 is a P-type work function layer.
[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200 includes a back contact 610. The back contact 610 is connected to the bottom source 131 or the bottom drain 132, thereby realizing the electrical lead-out of the field effect transistor. The material of the back contact 610 is a metal material. Since the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200 can achieve isolation between adjacent fins, it is possible to eliminate the need for shallow trench isolation in the field effect transistor, thereby simplifying the process flow.
[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, the semiconductor device further includes a second sidewall 205, an isolation layer 207, a top dielectric layer 171, a bottom dielectric layer 172, and a contact electrode 620. The second sidewall 205 is disposed on a side of the top channel structure away from the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200, and there is a gate 160 between the second sidewalls 205. The isolation layer 207 is disposed on a side of the bottom source 131 or the bottom drain 132 away from the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200, and there are the second sidewall 205 and the gate 160 between the isolation layers 207. The top dielectric layer 171 covers the isolation layer 207, the second sidewall 205, and the gate 160. There is a contact electrode 620 in the top dielectric layer 171 and the isolation layer 207, and the contact electrode 620 is used for electrical lead-out of the bottom source 131 or the bottom drain 132. The bottom dielectric layer 172 covers a surface of the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200 away from the bottom channel structure, and there is a back contact 610 in the bottom dielectric layer 172.
[0078] It can be seen that the field-effect transistor provided by the present application includes: a bottom dielectric isolation layer, which is formed by the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer after bonding the first substrate and the semiconductor-on-insulator substrate, that is, the bottom dielectric isolation layer at the bottom of the field-effect transistor is formed by bonding the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer, so as to realize the setting of an insulating dielectric under the subsequently formed channel structure. This insulating dielectric can avoid the parasitic leakage problem of the field-effect transistor under short-channel conditions; the semiconductor-on-insulator substrate includes a buried oxide layer, that is, the buried oxide layer can be used as the insulating dielectric between the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure, greatly reducing the process complexity of forming the insulating layer between the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure; that is, the insulating dielectric at the bottom of the channel structure is formed by bonding the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer, and the intermediate dielectric layer between the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure is formed by using the buried oxide layer included in the semiconductor-on-insulator substrate. This not only avoids the substrate parasitic leakage problem of the field-effect transistor under short-channel conditions, but also reduces the process complexity of forming the insulating dielectric between the top channel structure and the bottom channel structure, and finally improves the performance of the manufactured field-effect transistor.

Refer to Figure 7 As shown, a bottom substrate of the field-effect transistor is formed with the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200, overcoming the problem of parasitic leakage of the bottom heavily doped well (GP Well) in the traditional bulk silicon field-effect transistor.
[0088] As a possible implementation, the thickness of the first bonding layer 210 is greater than the thickness of the second bonding layer 220. That is, the thicker first bonding layer 210 and the thinner second bonding layer 220 are used for bonding to construct the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200.
[0089] As a possible implementation, the thickness range of the first bonding layer 210 and the second bonding layer 220 is 1 - 1000 nm. That is, the thickness range of the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200 is 1 - 1000 nm, so as to realize the control of the substrate parasitic leakage problem by controlling the thickness of the bottom dielectric isolation layer 200.
