[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic flowchart of the manufacturing method of the MOS device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the manufacturing method of the MOS device mainly includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S10: Provide a semiconductor substrate;

[0050] Step S12: Form an epitaxial layer locally on the semiconductor substrate;

[0051] Step S14: Form a gate dielectric material layer that covers the epitaxial layer and the semiconductor substrate;

[0052] Step S16: Form a gate conductive material layer on the gate dielectric material layer;

[0053] Step S18: Perform a maskless etching process on the gate conductive material layer to form a gate on the sidewalls of the epitaxial layer; and,

[0054] Step S20: Form a first source / drain region and a second source / drain region in the semiconductor substrate, wherein the first source / drain region extends into the epitaxial layer.

[0055] Here, an epitaxial layer is formed locally on the semiconductor substrate, and a gate is formed on the sidewalls of the epitaxial layer through a maskless etching process, thus avoiding the photolithography process and being free from the limitations of photolithography technology. Among them, the size of the gate can be controlled by adjusting the thickness of the gate conductive material layer deposited on the epitaxial layer.

[0056] Further, please refer to Figures 2 to 10 , which is a schematic cross-sectional view of a device of the structure formed by performing the manufacturing method of the MOS device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] As Figure 2 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a semiconductor substrate 100 is first provided. Among them, the material of the semiconductor substrate 100 can be silicon, germanium, silicon germanium, silicon carbide, gallium arsenide, etc. Further, it can be a bulk structure, for example, it can be a bulk silicon structure, a bulk germanium structure, etc.; it can also be a structure on insulator, for example, it can be a silicon on insulator (SOI) structure, a germanium on insulator (GOI) structure, etc.

[0058] In one embodiment, a silicon oxide layer 120 is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 100, and the thickness of the silicon oxide layer 120 is preferably greater than or equal to 75 angstroms. The silicon oxide layer 120 can protect the surface of the semiconductor substrate 100 and is also conducive to the control of subsequent processes.

[0059] In one embodiment, a well region ion implantation process is performed on the semiconductor substrate 100 to form a well region 110 in the semiconductor substrate 100. Specifically, a P-type ion implantation process or an N-type ion implantation process can be selected according to the type of MOS device to be formed.

[0060] Next, as Figure 3As shown, a first patterned mask layer 130 is formed on the silicon oxide layer 120. The material of the first patterned mask layer 130 can be, for example, a hard mask material, a photoresist material, etc. The first patterned mask layer 130 has a first opening 132 that exposes a part of the silicon oxide layer 120.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, then, the exposed silicon oxide layer 120 is removed to expose the semiconductor substrate 100, specifically exposing the well region 110. Specifically, an etching process, such as a wet etching process, can be used to remove the exposed silicon oxide layer 120. Further, the first patterned mask layer 130 is also removed to expose the remaining silicon oxide layer 120. Specifically, processes such as ashing can be used to remove the first patterned mask layer 130.

[0062] Next, as Figure 4 shown, an epitaxial growth process is performed on the exposed semiconductor substrate 100 to form an epitaxial layer 140 on the exposed semiconductor substrate 100. That is, an epitaxial layer 140 is formed locally on the semiconductor substrate 100. Among them, the thickness of the epitaxial layer 140 is preferably between and.

[0063] Further, after the epitaxial layer 140 is formed, the remaining silicon oxide layer 120 is also removed to expose the semiconductor substrate 100. In another embodiment, since the silicon oxide layer 120 and the subsequently formed gate dielectric material layer 150 can have the same material, the remaining silicon oxide layer 120 can also be retained.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 5 , next, a gate dielectric material layer 150 is formed. The gate dielectric material layer 150 covers the epitaxial layer 140 and the semiconductor substrate 100. Specifically, a furnace process can be used to form the gate dielectric material layer 150. The material of the gate dielectric material layer 150 is, for example, silicon oxide. Through the furnace process, the surface lattice damage of the epitaxial layer 140 and the semiconductor substrate 100 can also be repaired, improving the quality and reliability of the formed MOS device. In another embodiment, a thermal oxidation process can be used to form the gate dielectric material layer 150.

[0065] Next, as Figure 6As shown, a gate conductive material layer 160 is formed on the gate dielectric material layer 150. Among them, the material of the gate conductive material layer 160 can be, for example, metal, polysilicon, etc. In the embodiment of the present application, the material of the gate conductive material layer 160 is polysilicon, which can be formed by a deposition process. Among them, the thickness of the gate conductive material layer 160 can be determined according to the size of the gate to be formed. For example, the thickness of the gate conductive material layer 160 is between and , for example, it can be or etc. Further, the thickness of the gate conductive material layer 160 can also be larger than .

[0066] Next, as Figure 7 shown, a maskless etching (Blank Etch) process is performed on the gate conductive material layer 160 to form a gate 170 on the sidewall of the epitaxial layer 140, specifically a maskless dry etching in the vertical direction. Here, due to the use of the maskless etching process, the use of the photolithography process is avoided during the formation of the gate. Correspondingly, it can be free from the limitations of the photolithography technology. Specifically, a dry etching process can be used to perform maskless etching on the gate conductive material layer 160. Among them, the width of the gate 170 (i.e., the thickness of the gate conductive material layer 160) is the characteristic size of the formed MOS device, for example, between and . Here, since the deposition process can control the thickness of the formed gate conductive material layer 160, for example, its thickness can be as low as correspondingly, the width of the formed gate 170 can also be as low as thus avoiding the limitations of the photolithography technology and further reducing the characteristic size of the MOS device.

[0067] Next, please refer to Figure 8 , a second patterned mask layer 180 is formed, and the second patterned mask layer 180 covers the gate 170 and part of the gate dielectric material layer 150. Specifically, the second patterned mask layer 180 has a second opening 182, and the second opening 182 exposes the part of the gate dielectric material layer 150 that covers the epitaxial layer 140. Among them, the material of the second patterned mask layer 180 can be, for example, a hard mask material, a photoresist material, etc.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, then, a first ion implantation process is performed on the semiconductor substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 140 to form a first doped region 190 in the semiconductor substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 140, or to form a first doped region 190 in the semiconductor substrate 100. Herein, specifically, the first ion implantation process is performed on the well region 110 and the epitaxial layer 140 to form a first doped region 190 in the well region 110 and the epitaxial layer 140, or to form a first doped region 190 in the well region 110.

[0069] Preferably, the thickness of the epitaxial layer 140 is between and the ion implantation energy of the first ion implantation process is between 40 keV and 180 keV. Thus, the position of the formed first doped region 190 is relatively deep. In an embodiment of the present application, the first doped region 190 is located in the semiconductor substrate 100, and more specifically, in the well region 110. That is, the first doped region 190 extends from the surface of the well region 110 into the well region 110. In other embodiments of the present application, the first doped region 190 may also extend from the epitaxial layer 140 into the well region 110.

[0070] As Figure 9 shown, then, the second patterned mask layer 180 is removed to expose the gate 170 and the gate dielectric material layer 150.

[0071] Next, a second ion implantation process is performed on the semiconductor substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 140 to form a second doped region 200 and a third doped region 210 in the semiconductor substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 140. Among them, the second doped region 200 is connected to the first doped region 190 to form a first source / drain region 220, and the third doped region 210 forms a second source / drain region 230. Among them, the first source / drain region 220 may specifically be a source electrode, and the second source / drain region 230 may specifically be a drain electrode; or, the first source / drain region 220 may specifically be a drain electrode, and the second source / drain region 230 may specifically be a source electrode.

[0072] Preferably, the ion implantation energy of the second ion implantation process is between 10 keV and 40 keV. In an embodiment of the present application, the gate conductive material layer 160 is a polysilicon layer. When the second ion implantation process is performed on the semiconductor substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 140, ion implantation is also performed on the gate 170.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, the second doped region 200 extends from the surface of the epitaxial layer 140 to contact the first doped region 190; the third doped region 210 extends from the surface of the semiconductor substrate 100 into the semiconductor substrate 100. Preferably, the depth of the third doped region 210 is the same as the depth of the first doped region 190, that is, the distance from the third doped region 210 to the surface of the semiconductor substrate 100 is the same as the distance from the first doped region 190 to the surface of the semiconductor substrate 100.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 10 , in an embodiment of the present application, further, it further includes: etching the gate dielectric material layer 150 to form a gate dielectric layer 240. Specifically, the exposed gate dielectric material layer 150 is etched away, and the portions of the gate dielectric material layer 150 between the gate 170 and the semiconductor substrate 100 and between the gate 170 and the epitaxial layer 140 are retained to form the gate dielectric layer 240.

[0075] After removing the exposed gate dielectric material layer 150, the surfaces of the first source / drain region 220 and the second source / drain region 230 are exposed. In an embodiment of the present application, further, a salicide process is performed to form a gate salicide 250, a first source / drain region salicide 260, and a second source / drain region salicide 270 on the surfaces of the gate 170, the first source / drain region 220, and the second source / drain region 230, respectively.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, then, an interlayer dielectric layer 280 is formed, and the interlayer dielectric layer 280 covers the gate salicide 250, the first source / drain region salicide 260, the second source / drain region salicide 270, and the gate dielectric layer 240, that is, here, the interlayer dielectric layer 280 covers the exposed surfaces of the device structure. Then, a third opening (not shown in the figure) exposing the gate salicide 250, a fourth opening (not shown in the figure) exposing the first source / drain region salicide 260, and a fifth opening (not shown in the figure) exposing the second source / drain region salicide 270 are formed in the interlayer dielectric layer 280. Further, a gate conductive pillar 290, a first source / drain region conductive pillar 300, and a second source / drain region conductive pillar 310 are respectively formed in the third opening, the fourth opening, and the fifth opening. The gate conductive pillar 290 is connected to the gate salicide 250, the first source / drain region conductive pillar 300 is connected to the first source / drain region salicide 260, and the second source / drain region conductive pillar 310 is connected to the second source / drain region salicide 270.

[0077] In Figure 10Two MOS transistors are shown, and the two MOS transistors share a first source / drain region 220. For example, if the first source / drain region 220 is a source electrode, then the second source / drain region 230 on the left serves as the drain electrode of the first MOS transistor, and the second source / drain region 230 on the right serves as the drain electrode of the second MOS transistor.
