Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims the priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0174024 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on December 5, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device. Background Art

[0004] Since such a multi-gate transistor utilizes a three-dimensional channel, it is easy to scale. In addition, the current control capability can be improved even without increasing the gate length of the multi-gate transistor. In addition, the SCE (short channel effect) in which the potential of the channel region is affected by the drain voltage can be effectively suppressed.
[0005] On the other hand, as the pitch size of semiconductor devices decreases, it becomes important to reduce capacitance between contacts in the semiconductor devices and to ensure electrical stability. Summary of the invention

[0024] It will be understood that although the terms "first", "second", etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure, the "first" element discussed below may also be referred to as the "second" element.
[0025] Although the drawings of the semiconductor device according to some embodiments show a fin transistor (FinFET) including a channel region having a fin pattern shape, a transistor including a nanowire or a nanosheet, and an MBCFET TM (Multi-bridge channel field effect transistor) is taken as an example, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0026] Of course, the semiconductor device according to some embodiments may include a tunneling transistor (tunneling FET), a three-dimensional (3D) transistor, or a vertical transistor (vertical FET). Of course, the semiconductor device according to some embodiments may include a planar transistor. In addition, the technical concept of the present disclosure may be applied to transistors based on two-dimensional materials (FETs based on 2D materials) and their heterostructures. In addition, the semiconductor device according to some embodiments may also include a bipolar junction transistor, a lateral diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS), etc.
[0027] Will refer to Figures 1 to 10 A semiconductor device according to some embodiments is described.
[0028] Figure 1 is a layout diagram for explaining a semiconductor device according to some embodiments. Figures 2 to 7 Along the Figure 1 Cross-sectional views taken along lines AA, BB, CC, DD, EE and FF. Figures 8 to 10 They are shown respectively Figure 5 An enlarged view of part P.
[0029] For ease of explanation, Figure 1 The front wiring line 197 and the front wiring via 196 are not shown. Although not shown, a cross-sectional view taken along the third active pattern AP3 in the first direction X may be similar to Figure 3 sectional view of .
[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 10 According to some embodiments, the semiconductor device may include a substrate 100, a field insulating film 105, a first active pattern AP1, a second active pattern AP2, a third active pattern AP3, a back wiring line 50, a back source / drain contact 70, a back contact guide pattern 80, a plurality of gate electrodes 120, a first source / drain pattern 150, a second source / drain pattern 250, a third source / drain pattern 350, a first front source / drain contact 170, a second front source / drain contact 270, a third front source / drain contact 370, and a source / drain etch stop film 185.
[0031] The substrate 100 may include a first surface 100US and a second surface 100BS opposite to each other in the third direction Z. Since the gate electrode 120 and the source / drain patterns 150, 250, and 350 may be disposed on the first surface 100US of the substrate, the first surface 100US of the substrate may be an upper surface (e.g., a top surface) of the substrate 100. The second surface 100BS of the substrate opposite to the first surface 100US of the substrate may be a lower surface (e.g., a bottom surface) of the substrate 100.
[0032] As used herein, a first element described as being “on” or “disposed on” a second element may be directly on and in contact with the second element, or one or more other elements disposed between the first and second elements may be present.
[0033] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "under," "below," "below," "above," "up," "top," "bottom," and the like may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature to another element or features as shown in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figure is turned over, an element described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features will then be oriented as "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the term "below" may cover both above and below orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
[0034] The substrate 100 may be made of or include a semiconductor material. The substrate 100 may be a silicon substrate or a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. Conversely, the substrate 100 may include, for example but not limited to, silicon germanium, silicon germanium on insulator (SGOI), indium antimonide, lead telluride, indium arsenide, indium phosphide, gallium arsenide, or gallium antimonide.
[0035] Each of the active patterns AP1, AP2, and AP3 may be disposed on the substrate 100. For example, each of the active patterns AP1, AP2, and AP3 may be disposed on the first surface 100US of the substrate. Each of the active patterns AP1, AP2, and AP3 may extend longitudinally in the first direction X, respectively.
[0036] As used herein, an object, layer, or portion of an object or layer described as "extending" or "longitudinally extending" in a particular direction has a length in the particular direction and a width perpendicular to the direction, wherein the length is greater than the width.
[0037] The first active pattern AP1 may be spaced apart from the second active pattern AP2 and the third active pattern AP3 in the second direction Y. The first active pattern AP1 may be disposed between the second active pattern AP2 and the third active pattern AP3. The second active pattern AP2 and the third active pattern AP3 may be adjacent to the first active pattern AP1 in the second direction Y, respectively.
[0038] As an example, the first active pattern AP1 and the second active pattern AP2 may be regions where transistors of the same conductivity type are formed. The third active pattern AP3 may be a region where transistors of a conductivity type different from that of the first active pattern AP1 are formed. For example, if the first active pattern AP1 is a region where a p-type transistor is formed, the second active pattern AP2 is a region where a p-type transistor is formed, and the third active pattern AP3 may be a region where an n-type transistor is formed.
[0039] As another example, the first active pattern AP1 and the third active pattern AP3 may be regions where transistors of the same conductivity type are formed. The second active pattern AP2 may be a region where transistors of a conductivity type different from that of the first active pattern AP1 are formed. For example, if the first active pattern AP1 is a region where a p-type transistor is formed, the second active pattern AP2 may be a region where an n-type transistor is formed, and the third active pattern AP3 may be a region where a p-type transistor is formed.
[0040] Each of the active patterns AP1, AP2, and AP3 may be a multi-channel active pattern. For example, the first active pattern AP1 may include a first lower pattern BP1 and a plurality of first sheet patterns NS1. The second active pattern AP2 may include a second lower pattern BP2 and a plurality of second sheet patterns NS2. The third active pattern AP3 may include a third lower pattern BP3 and a plurality of third sheet patterns NS3. In the semiconductor device according to some embodiments, each of the active patterns AP1, AP2, and AP3 may be an active pattern including nanosheets or nanowires.
[0041] Each of the lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3 may protrude from the substrate 100. For example, each of the lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3 may protrude from the first surface 100US of the substrate in the third direction Z. Each of the lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3 may be a fin pattern.
[0042] Each of the lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3 may extend longitudinally in the first direction X. The first lower pattern BP1 may be spaced apart from the second and third lower patterns BP2 and BP3 in the second direction Y. The first lower pattern BP1 may be disposed between the second and third lower patterns BP2 and BP3.
[0043] Each of the lower patterns BP1 , BP2 , and BP3 may be separated by a fin trench FT extending in the first direction X. For example, the first surface 100US of the substrate may be a bottom surface of the fin trench FT.
[0044] Reference Figure 7 , for example, the first lower pattern BP1 may include a sidewall BP1_SW extending in the first direction X. The second lower pattern BP2 may include a sidewall BP2_SW extending in the first direction X. The third lower pattern BP3 may include a sidewall BP3_SW extending in the first direction X. The sidewall BP1_SW of the first lower pattern, the sidewall BP2_SW of the second lower pattern, and the sidewall BP3_SW of the third lower pattern may each be defined by the fin trench FT.
[0045] The plurality of first sheet patterns NS1 may be disposed on the first lower pattern BP1. The plurality of first sheet patterns NS1 may be spaced apart from the upper surface BP1_US of the first lower pattern in the third direction Z.
[0046] The plurality of second sheet patterns NS2 may be disposed on the second lower pattern BP2. The plurality of second sheet patterns NS2 may be spaced apart from the upper surface BP2_US of the second lower pattern in the third direction Z.
[0047] A plurality of third sheet patterns NS3 may be disposed on the third lower pattern BP3. The plurality of third sheet patterns NS3 may be spaced apart from the upper surface BP3_US of the third lower pattern in the third direction Z. The first sheet pattern NS1, the second sheet pattern NS2, and the third sheet pattern NS3 may be disposed on the first surface 100US of the substrate.
[0048] Here, the first direction X may intersect the second direction Y and the third direction Z. In addition, the second direction Y may intersect the third direction Z. The third direction Z may be a thickness direction of the substrate 100 .
[0049] The sheet patterns NS1, NS2, and NS3 may each include an upper surface (e.g., top surface) and a bottom surface (e.g., lower surface) opposite to each other in the third direction Z. The bottom surfaces of the sheet patterns NS1, NS2, and NS3 may respectively face the substrate 100. Although it is shown that three sheet patterns NS1, NS2, and NS3 are provided in the third direction Z, this is only for convenience of explanation, and the embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0050] The upper surface AP1_US of the first active pattern may be an upper surface of a first sheet pattern NS1 disposed at the uppermost portion among the plurality of first sheet patterns NS1. The upper surface AP2_US of the second active pattern may be an upper surface of a second sheet pattern NS2 disposed at the uppermost portion among the plurality of second sheet patterns NS2. Although not shown, the upper surface of the third active pattern AP3 may be an upper surface of a third sheet pattern NS3 disposed at the uppermost portion among the plurality of third sheet patterns NS3.
[0051] Each of the lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3 may be formed by etching a portion of the substrate 100, or may include an epitaxial layer grown from the substrate 100. Each of the lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3 may be formed of, or include, silicon or germanium as an elemental semiconductor material. In addition, each of the lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3 may include a compound semiconductor, and may include, for example, a group IV-IV compound semiconductor or a group III-V compound semiconductor.
[0052] The Group IV-IV compound semiconductor may be, for example, a binary compound or a ternary compound including at least two or more of carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), and tin (Sn), or a compound obtained by doping these elements with a Group IV element.
[0053] The III-V compound semiconductor may be one of a binary compound, a ternary compound, and a quaternary compound formed, for example, by combining at least one of aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), and indium (In) as Group III elements with one of phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), and antimony (Sb) as Group V elements.
[0054] Each of the sheet patterns NS1, NS2, and NS3 may be formed of or include one of silicon and germanium, group IV-IV compound semiconductors, and group III-V compound semiconductors as elemental semiconductor materials. Taking the first sheet pattern NS1 as an example, the width of the first sheet pattern NS1 in the second direction Y may be increased or decreased in proportion to the width of the first lower pattern BP1 in the second direction Y. Although the width of each first sheet pattern NS1 disposed on the first lower pattern BP1 in the second direction Y is shown to be the same, the embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0055] The field insulating film 105 is disposed on the substrate 100. For example, the field insulating film 105 may be disposed on the first surface 100US of the substrate. The field insulating film 105 may fill at least a portion of the fin trench FT separating the lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3.
[0056] Field insulating film 105 (see, for example, Figures 4 to 7 ) may be disposed between the lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3 on the substrate 100. The field insulating film 105 may cover the sidewall BP1_SW of the first lower pattern, the sidewall BP2_SW of the second lower pattern, and the sidewall BP3_SW of the third lower pattern.
[0057] As an example, the field insulating film 105 may cover the entire side wall BP1_SW of the first lower pattern, the entire side wall BP2_SW of the second lower pattern, and the entire side wall BP3_SW of the third lower pattern. Different from the illustrated example, as another example, the field insulating film 105 may cover a portion of the side walls of the lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3. In this case, a portion of the lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3 may protrude beyond the upper surface of the field insulating film 105 in the third direction Z.
[0058] The field insulating film 105 does not cover the upper surface BP1_US of the first lower pattern. The field insulating film 105 does not cover the upper surface BP2_US of the second lower pattern. The field insulating film 105 does not cover the upper surface BP3_US of the third lower pattern.
[0059] The field insulating film 105 may include an upper surface (e.g., top surface) 105US and a lower surface (e.g., bottom surface) 105BS opposite to each other in the third direction Z. The bottom surface 105BS of the field insulating film may face the substrate 100. The upper surface 105US of the field insulating film may face the gate electrode 120. Each of the sheet patterns NS1, NS2, and NS3 is disposed higher than the upper surface 105US of the field insulating film 105.
[0060] The field insulating film 105 may be formed of, for example, an oxide film, a nitride film, an oxynitride film, or a combination thereof, or include, for example, an oxide film, a nitride film, an oxynitride film, or a combination thereof. Although the field insulating film 105 is shown as a single film, this is for ease of explanation, and the embodiment is not limited thereto.
[0061] exist Figures 5 to 7 Although an upper surface 105US of the field insulating film between the first and second lower patterns BP1 and BP2 and an upper surface 105US of the field insulating film between the first and third lower patterns BP1 and BP3 are illustrated as being coplanar, embodiments are not limited thereto.
[0062] The first lower pattern BP1 will be explained as an example. The first lower pattern BP1 includes a first region overlapping the first sheet pattern NS1 in the third direction Z, and a second region overlapping the first source / drain pattern 150 in the third direction Z. An upper surface BP1_US in the first region of the first lower pattern BP1 may be higher than an upper surface BP1_US in the second region of the first lower pattern BP1. While forming the first source / drain pattern 150, a portion of the first lower pattern BP1 may be etched to lower the upper surface BP1_US of the first lower pattern.
[0063] The field insulating film 105 may include a first region overlapping the gate electrode 120 in the third direction Z, and a second region disposed between the gate electrodes 120. An upper surface 105US in the first region of the field insulating film 105 may be higher than an upper surface 105US in the second region of the field insulating film 105. While forming the first source / drain pattern 150, a portion of the field insulating film 105 disposed between the gate electrodes 120 may be etched to lower the upper surface 105US of the field insulating film 105.
[0064] A plurality of gate structures GS may be disposed on the first surface 100US of the substrate. Each gate structure GS may extend in the second direction Y. The gate structures GS may be spaced apart in the first direction X. The gate structures GS may be adjacent to each other in the first direction X.
[0065] The gate structure GS may be disposed on each of the active patterns AP1 , AP2 , and AP3 . For example, the gate structure GS may cross the first active pattern AP1 , the second active pattern AP2 , and the third active pattern AP3 . The gate structure GS may be disposed on the upper surface 105US of the field insulating film 105 .
[0066] The gate structure GS may be disposed on the first lower pattern BP1, the second lower pattern BP2, and the third lower pattern BP3. The gate structure GS may intersect the first lower pattern BP1, the second lower pattern BP2, and the third lower pattern BP3. The gate structure GS may surround each first sheet pattern NS1 (see, for example, Figure 7 ). The gate structure GS may surround each second sheet pattern NS2. The gate structure GS may surround each third sheet pattern NS3.
[0067] Although the gate structure GS is shown as being disposed over the first to third active patterns AP1 , AP2 , and AP3 , the embodiment is not limited thereto. Unlike the illustrated example, at least one of the gate structures GS may be separated into two or more parts.
[0068] The gate structure GS may include, for example, a gate electrode 120 and a gate insulating film 130 .
[0069] The gate structure GS may include a plurality of inner gate structures I_GS disposed between first sheet patterns NS1 adjacent to each other in the third direction Z and between the first lower pattern BP1 and the first sheet pattern NS1. The plurality of inner gate structures I_GS may be disposed between second sheet patterns NS2 adjacent to each other in the third direction Z and between the second lower pattern BP2 and the second sheet pattern NS2. Although not shown, the plurality of inner gate structures I_GS may be disposed between third sheet patterns NS3 adjacent to each other in the third direction Z and between the third lower pattern BP3 and the third sheet pattern NS3.
[0070] The first active pattern AP1 and the inner gate structure I_GS will be explained as an example. The inner gate structure I_GS may be disposed between the upper surface BP1_US of the first lower pattern and the lower surface of the lowermost first sheet pattern NS1 and between the upper surface of the first sheet pattern NS1 and the bottom surface of the adjacent first sheet pattern NS1 facing each other in the third direction Z.
[0071] The number of the inner gate structures I_GS may be the same as the number of the first sheet patterns NS1. The inner gate structure I_GS contacts the upper surface BP1_US of the first lower pattern, the upper surface of the first sheet pattern NS1, and the bottom surface of the first sheet pattern NS1. The inner gate structure I_GS includes a gate electrode 120 and a gate insulating film 130 disposed between adjacent first sheet patterns NS1 and between the first lower pattern BP1 and the first sheet pattern NS1.
[0072] As an example, the inner gate structure I_GS may contact the first source / drain pattern 150 and the second source / drain pattern 250 to be described at the lower surface. Although not shown, the inner gate structure I_GS may contact the third source / drain pattern 350. As another example, since the inner spacer is disposed between the inner gate structure I_GS and the third source / drain pattern 350, the inner gate structure I_GS may not contact the third source / drain pattern 350.
[0073] Unlike the illustrated example, as an example, the inner gate structure I_GS may not contact the first source / drain pattern 150 and the second source / drain pattern 250. The inner gate structure I_GS may contact the third source / drain pattern 350. As another example, the inner gate structure I_GS may not contact the first source / drain pattern 150 and the third source / drain pattern 350. The inner gate structure I_GS may contact the second source / drain pattern 250.
[0074] The gate electrode 120 may be disposed on the first, second, and third lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3. The gate electrode 120 may cross the first, second, and third lower patterns BP1, BP2, and BP3. The gate electrode 120 may surround the first, second, and third sheet patterns NS1, NS2, and NS3.
[0075] Although the upper surface of the gate electrode 120 is Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 1 is shown as a concave curved surface, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The upper surface of the gate electrode 120 may be a flat surface.
[0076] The gate electrode 120 may be formed of at least one of a metal, a conductive metal nitride, a metal silicide, a doped semiconductor material, a conductive metal oxide, and a conductive metal oxynitride, or may include at least one of a metal, a conductive metal nitride, a metal silicide, a doped semiconductor material, a conductive metal oxide, and a conductive metal oxynitride. The gate electrode 120 may include, for example, titanium nitride (TiN), tantalum carbide (TaC), tantalum nitride (TaN), titanium silicon nitride (TiSiN), tantalum silicon nitride (TaSiN), tantalum titanium nitride (TaTiN), titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN), tantalum aluminum nitride (TaAlN), tungsten nitride (WN), ruthenium (Ru), titanium aluminum (TiAl), titanium aluminum carbonitride (TiAlCN), titanium aluminum carbide (TiAlC), titanium carbide (TiC), tantalum carbonitride (TaCN) , tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), nickel (Ni), platinum (Pt), nickel platinum (NiPt), niobium (Nb), niobium nitride (NbN), niobium carbide (NbC), molybdenum (Mo), molybdenum nitride (MoN), molybdenum carbide (MoC), tungsten carbide (WC), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), silver (Ag), gold (Au), zinc (Zn), vanadium (V) and combinations thereof. Conductive metal oxides and conductive metal oxynitrides may include, but are not limited to, oxidized forms of the foregoing materials.
[0077] The gate insulating film 130 may extend along the upper surface 105US of the field insulating film, the upper surface BP1_US of the first lower pattern, the upper surface BP2_US of the second lower pattern, and the upper surface BP3_US of the third lower pattern. The gate insulating film 130 may surround a plurality of first patterns NS1. The gate insulating film 130 may surround a plurality of second patterns NS2. The gate insulating film 130 may surround a plurality of third patterns NS3. The gate insulating film 130 may be disposed along the periphery of the first pattern NS1, the periphery of the second pattern NS2, and the periphery of the third pattern NS3. The gate electrode 120 is disposed on the gate insulating film 130.
[0078] The gate insulating film 130 is disposed between the gate electrode 120 and the first sheet pattern NS1, between the gate electrode 120 and the second sheet pattern NS2, and between the gate electrode 120 and the third sheet pattern NS3. When the inner gate structure I_GS and the first source / drain pattern 150 contact each other, the gate insulating film 130 included in the inner gate structure I_GS may contact the first source / drain pattern 150.
[0079] The gate insulating film 130 may be formed of silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, silicon nitride, or a high dielectric constant material having a higher dielectric constant than silicon oxide, or include silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, silicon nitride, or a high dielectric constant material having a higher dielectric constant than silicon oxide. The high dielectric constant material may include, for example, one or more of boron nitride, hafnium oxide, hafnium silicon oxide, hafnium aluminum oxide, lanthanum oxide, lanthanum aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, zirconium silicon oxide, tantalum oxide, titanium oxide, barium strontium titanium oxide, barium titanium oxide, strontium titanium oxide, yttrium oxide, aluminum oxide, lead scandium tantalum oxide, or lead zinc niobate.
[0080] Although the gate insulating film 130 is shown as a single film, this example is only for convenience of explanation and is not limited thereto. The gate insulating film 130 may include a plurality of films. The first active pattern AP1 will be explained as an example. The gate insulating film 130 may include an interface layer and a high dielectric constant insulating film, the interface layer being disposed between the first active pattern AP1 and the gate electrode 120. For example, the interface layer may not be formed along the contour of the upper surface 105US of the field insulating film.
[0081] The semiconductor device according to some embodiments may include an NC (Negative Capacitance) FET using a negative capacitor. For example, the gate insulating film 130 may include a ferroelectric material film having a ferroelectric property and a paraelectric material film having a paraelectric property.
[0082] The ferroelectric material film may have a negative capacitance, and the paraelectric material film may have a positive capacitance. For example, when two or more capacitors are connected in series and the capacitance of each capacitor has a positive value, the total capacitance is reduced from the capacitance of each of the individual capacitors. On the other hand, if at least one of the capacitances of the two or more capacitors connected in series has a negative value, the total capacitance may be greater than the absolute value of each of the individual capacitors while having a positive value.
[0083] When a ferroelectric material film having negative capacitance is connected in series with a paraelectric material film having positive capacitance, the total capacitance value of the ferroelectric material film and the paraelectric material film connected in series can be increased. By using the increased total capacitance value, a transistor including the ferroelectric material film can have a subthreshold swing (SS) of less than 60 mV / decade at room temperature.
[0084] The ferroelectric material film may have ferroelectric properties. The ferroelectric material film may be formed of, for example, at least one of hafnium oxide, hafnium zirconium oxide, barium strontium titanium oxide, barium titanium oxide, and lead zirconium titanium oxide, or may include at least one of hafnium oxide, hafnium zirconium oxide, barium strontium titanium oxide, barium titanium oxide, and lead zirconium titanium oxide. Here, as an example, hafnium zirconium oxide may be a material obtained by doping hafnium oxide with zirconium (Zr). As another example, hafnium zirconium oxide may be a compound of hafnium (Hf), zirconium (Zr), and oxygen (O).
[0085] The ferroelectric material film may further include a dopant. For example, the dopant may include at least one of aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), lanthanum (La), yttrium (Y), magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si), calcium (Ca), cerium (Ce), dysprosium (Dy), erbium (Er), gadolinium (Gd), germanium (Ge), scandium (Sc), strontium (Sr), and tin (Sn). Depending on which type of ferroelectric material is included in the ferroelectric material film, the type of dopant included in the ferroelectric material film may vary.
[0086] When the ferroelectric material film includes hafnium oxide, the dopant included in the ferroelectric material film may include, for example, at least one of gadolinium (Gd), silicon (Si), zirconium (Zr), aluminum (Al), and yttrium (Y).
[0087] When the dopant is aluminum (Al), the ferroelectric material film may include 3 at % (atomic %) to 8 at % of aluminum. Here, the ratio of the dopant may be a ratio of aluminum to the sum of hafnium and aluminum.
[0088] When the dopant is silicon (Si), the ferroelectric material film may include 2at% to 10at% silicon. When the dopant is yttrium (Y), the ferroelectric material film may include 2at% to 10at% yttrium. When the dopant is gadolinium (Gd), the ferroelectric material film may include 1at% to 7at% gadolinium. When the dopant is zirconium (Zr), the ferroelectric material film may include 50at% to 80at% zirconium.
[0089] The paraelectric material film may have paraelectric properties. The paraelectric material film may be formed of, for example, at least one of silicon oxide and a metal oxide with a high dielectric constant, or may include, for example, at least one of silicon oxide and a metal oxide with a high dielectric constant. The metal oxide included in the paraelectric material film may include, for example, but not limited to, at least one of hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide, and aluminum oxide.
[0090] The ferroelectric material film and the paraelectric material film may include the same material. The ferroelectric material film has ferroelectric properties, but the paraelectric material film may not have ferroelectric properties. For example, when the ferroelectric material film and the paraelectric material film include hafnium oxide, the crystal structure of the hafnium oxide included in the ferroelectric material film is different from the crystal structure of the hafnium oxide included in the paraelectric material film.
[0091] The ferroelectric material film may have a thickness that provides ferroelectric properties. The thickness of the ferroelectric material film may be, for example, but not limited to, 0.5 nm to 10 nm. Since the critical thickness that exhibits ferroelectric properties may vary for each ferroelectric material, the thickness of the ferroelectric material film may vary depending on the ferroelectric material.
[0092] As an example, the gate insulating film 130 may include a single ferroelectric material film. As another example, the gate insulating film 130 may include a plurality of ferroelectric material films spaced apart from each other. The gate insulating film 130 may have a stacked film structure in which a plurality of ferroelectric material films and a plurality of paraelectric material films are alternately stacked.
[0093] The gate spacer 140 may be disposed on the sidewall of the gate electrode 120. For example, the gate spacer 140 may be disposed on the long sidewall of the gate structure GS. The long sidewall of the gate structure GS may extend in the second direction Y. The gate spacer 140 may not be disposed between the first lower pattern BP1 and the first sheet pattern NS1, and between the first sheet patterns NS1 adjacent in the third direction Z. The gate spacer 140 may not be disposed between the second lower pattern BP2 and the second sheet pattern NS2, and between the second sheet patterns NS2 adjacent in the third direction Z.
[0094] The gate spacer 140 may be made of, for example, silicon nitride (SiN), silicon oxynitride (SiON), silicon oxide (SiO 2 ), silicon oxycarbon nitride (SiOCN), silicon boron nitride (SiBN), silicon oxyboron nitride (SiOBN), silicon oxycarbide (SiOC), and combinations thereof, or may include, for example, silicon nitride (SiN), silicon oxynitride (SiON), silicon oxide (SiO 2 ), silicon oxycarbon nitride (SiOCN), silicon boron nitride (SiBN), silicon oxyboron nitride (SiOBN), silicon oxycarbide (SiOC), and combinations thereof. Although the gate spacer 140 is shown as a single film, this example is only for ease of explanation, and embodiments are not limited thereto.
[0095] The gate capping pattern 145 may be disposed on the gate electrode 120. The gate capping pattern 145 may be disposed on an upper surface of the gate spacer 140. Unlike the illustrated example, the gate capping pattern 145 may be disposed between the gate spacers 140.
[0096] The gate cap pattern 145 may be formed of, for example, at least one of silicon nitride (SiN), silicon oxynitride (SiON), silicon carbon nitride (SiCN), silicon oxycarbon nitride (SiOCN), and combinations thereof, or may include, for example, at least one of silicon nitride (SiN), silicon oxynitride (SiON), silicon carbon nitride (SiCN), silicon oxycarbon nitride (SiOCN), and combinations thereof.

The sidewalls of the source / drain patterns 150, 250, and 350 may include, but are not limited to, facet intersections at which chamfers join.
[0102] For example, the source / drain patterns 150, 250, and 350 may include upper surfaces (eg, top surfaces) connected to sidewalls of the source / drain patterns 150, 250, and 350. The upper surface 150US of the first source / drain pattern 150 that is not connected to the first front source / drain contact 170 may be a plane in a cross-sectional view (see, e.g., FIG. 1 ). Figure 5 ).
[0103] Unlike the illustrated example, the source / drain patterns 150, 250, and 350 may not include an upper surface. That is, two sidewalls extending from bottom surfaces of the source / drain patterns 150, 250, and 350 in the third direction Z may be directly joined.
[0104] although Figure 5 and Figure 6The outer shape of the source / drain patterns 150, 250, and 350 is shown to be similar to a hexagon, but the shape is not limited thereto. Unlike the illustrated example, the outer shape of the source / drain patterns 150, 250, and 350 may be similar to a pentagon or a square.

Although not shown, each of the second source / drain pattern 250 and the third source / drain pattern 350 may include a front connection source / drain pattern and a back connection source / drain pattern.
[0107] Each of the source / drain patterns 150, 250, and 350 may include an epitaxial pattern. Each of the source / drain patterns 150, 250, and 350 may be formed of a semiconductor material, or may include a semiconductor material.

[0118] The height from the upper surface AP1_US of the first active pattern to the upper surface 170US of the first front source / drain contact may be the same as the height from the upper surface AP1_US of the first active pattern to the upper surface 145US of the gate cap pattern. The height from the upper surface AP2_US of the second active pattern to the upper surface 270US of the second front source / drain contact may be the same as the height from the upper surface AP2_US of the second active pattern to the upper surface 145US of the gate cap pattern.

[0119] Although the front source / drain contacts 170, 270, and 370 are shown as having a single conductive film structure, the embodiment is not limited thereto.

For example, a horizontal distance from a central vertical axis of the back contact guide pattern 80 to an upper edge of the second portion 80_SW22 of the second side wall of the back contact guide pattern may be greater than a horizontal distance from a central vertical axis of the back contact guide pattern 80 to a lower edge of the second portion 80_SW22 of the second side wall of the back contact guide pattern. For example, a width of the back contact guide pattern 80 may increase from a bottom surface 80BS of the back contact guide pattern to an upper surface 80US of the back contact guide pattern.
[0148] exist Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In the second portion 80_P2 of the back contact guide pattern, the second portion 80_SW22 of the second sidewall of the back contact guide pattern may form an obtuse angle with the second surface 100BS of the substrate.

[0149] In the semiconductor device according to some embodiments, the field insulating film 105 may cover the upper surface 80US of the back contact guide pattern. The height H3 from the second surface 50_S2 of the back wiring line to the upper surface 105US of the field insulating film may be greater than the height H1 from the second surface 50_S2 of the back wiring line to the upper surface 80US of the back contact guide pattern. The upper surface 80US of the back contact guide pattern may not contact the source / drain etch stop film 185.
[0150] The back contact guide pattern 80 may be spaced apart from the first lower pattern BP1 and the second lower pattern BP2 in the second direction Y. The back contact guide pattern 80 may be spaced apart from the third lower pattern BP3 in the second direction Y. The back contact guide pattern 80 is spaced apart from the lower patterns BP1, BP2, BP3 in the second direction Y, and the back contact guide pattern 80 does not overlap with the upper surface BP1_US of the first lower pattern, the upper surface BP2_US of the second lower pattern, and the upper surface BP3_US of the third lower pattern in the third direction Z.
[0151] Since the back contact guide pattern 80 does not overlap the upper surface BP1_US of the first lower pattern in the third direction Z, the first sheet pattern NS1 does not overlap the back contact guide pattern 80 in the third direction Z.
[0152] exist Figure 4 In the embodiment, the back contact guide pattern 80 may be disposed between the gate structures GS adjacent to each other in the first direction X. The back contact guide pattern 80 may not overlap the gate structure GS in the third direction Z.

Although the back contact guide pattern 80 is shown as a single film, embodiments are not limited thereto.
[0154] The back source / drain contact 70 may be disposed between the back wiring line 50 and the first source / drain pattern 150. The back source / drain contact 70 may connect the first lower connection source / drain pattern 150_2 to the back wiring line 50. The back source / drain contact 70 may be disposed on the first surface 50_S1 of the back wiring line.
[0155] The back source / drain contacts 70 may be disposed between the back contact guide patterns 80 adjacent to each other in the second direction Y. The back source / drain contacts 70 may be disposed between the first back contact guide pattern 80_1 and the second back contact guide pattern 80_2.

That is, by using the back side contact guide pattern 80, the back side source / drain contacts 70 may be formed in the form of a self-aligned contact (SAC). Since the back side contact guide pattern 80 defines the area where the back side source / drain contacts 70 are formed, it is possible to prevent the back side source / drain contacts 70 from being misaligned.
[0160] In addition, since the back contact guide pattern 80 is disposed between the lower patterns adjacent to each other in the first direction X, the back contact guide pattern 80 can prevent the source / drain patterns 250 and 350 that are not connected to the back source / drain contacts 70 from being connected to the back source / drain contacts 70. Therefore, the performance and reliability of the semiconductor device can be improved.

The front wiring line 197 may be connected to the front source / drain contacts 170, 270, and 370 through the front wiring via 196. The front wiring line 197 penetrates the second etching stopper film 194 and may be connected to the front wiring via 196.
[0168] Unlike the illustrated example, the front side wiring lines 197 may be connected to the front side source / drain contacts 170 , 270 , and 370 without the front side wiring vias 196 .
