AI Technical Summary
When the prior art adjusts metal work function under FinFET technology, the fin pitch becomes smaller and smaller, and the distance between the fin and the fin is also smaller, resulting in the work function adjustment ability of the work function layer being limited by the fin pitch, making it difficult to meet the performance requirements of multiple different threshold voltage transistors.
In the semiconductor structure, N-type or P-type polarized particles of different concentrations are introduced into the gate dielectric layer of different threshold voltage regions to form a multi-threshold voltage fin field effect transistor, and the polarized particles are migrated into the gate dielectric layer by using annealing treatment to realize voltage regulation of each threshold voltage region and avoid work function layer adjustment of the additional thickness.
Voltage adjustment of six threshold voltage regions is achieved, adapting to the formation of gate structures of smaller key sizes, increasing the openness and application range of devices, and improving the performance of multi-threshold voltage fin field effect transistors.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technologies, and particularly to a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same. Background Art
[0002] The MOS (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) transistor is one of the most important components in modern integrated circuits. The basic structure of the MOS transistor includes: a semiconductor substrate; a gate structure located on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the gate structure includes: a gate dielectric layer located on the surface of the semiconductor substrate and a gate electrode layer located on the surface of the gate dielectric layer; source / drain doping regions in the semiconductor substrate on both sides of the gate structure. MOS includes PMOS transistors and NMOS transistors.
[0003] In order to meet the requirements of different switching speeds of transistors in integrated circuit design, it is necessary to form multiple transistors with different threshold voltages. In order to reduce the threshold voltages of PMOS transistors and NMOS transistors, corresponding work function layers are formed on the surfaces of the gate dielectric layers of PMOS transistors and NMOS transistors. Among them, the work function layer of the PMOS transistor needs to have a higher work function, while the work function layer of the NMOS transistor needs to have a lower work function. In PMOS transistors and NMOS transistors, the materials of the work function layers are different to meet the requirements of their respective work function adjustments.
[0004] Moreover, PMOS transistors may also require multiple different threshold voltages. The common practice in the industry now is to adjust the thickness of the work function of PMOS transistors. For example, the thickness of the work function layer of a PMOS transistor with a low threshold voltage is thicker than that of a PMOS transistor with a standard threshold voltage.
[0005] However, in the prior art, the use of Dipole, and the method of still using the buffer thickness or its own thickness to adjust the amount of Dipole in the prior art. When adjusting the metal work function under FinFET technology, due to the fact that the fin pitch is getting smaller and the distance between fins is also getting smaller in some cases, the work function adjustment ability of the work function layer is limited by the fin pitch.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] As in the background art, the performance of existing multi-threshold voltage fin field effect transistors.
[0029] Currently, titanium nitride and titanium aluminide are used as the work functions of N-type devices and P-type devices. Titanium nitride can reduce the threshold voltage of P-type devices and increase the threshold voltage of N-type devices. Titanium aluminide can increase the threshold voltage of P-type devices and reduce the threshold voltage of N-type devices. Therefore, the threshold voltages of N-type devices and P-type devices are determined by the thicknesses of titanium nitride and titanium aluminide.
[0030] Generally, N-type devices and P-type devices have different thicknesses of titanium nitride and the same thickness of titanium aluminide. Since N-type devices and P-type devices have different thicknesses of titanium nitride, subsequent different threshold voltages are caused. At the same time, for P-type devices, the thickness of titanium nitride cannot be too thick. Then, as the critical dimension of the gate structure becomes smaller and smaller, the space reserved for the formation of the work function becomes smaller and smaller, resulting in the performance of the finally formed transistor not meeting the actual process requirements.
[0031] On this basis, the present invention provides a semiconductor structure. The substrate includes a P-type device region and an N-type device region. The N-type device region includes a first threshold voltage region, a second threshold voltage region, and a third threshold voltage region. The P-type device region includes a fourth threshold voltage region, a fifth threshold voltage region, and a sixth threshold voltage region. A first gate structure is located in the first threshold voltage region, a second gate structure is located in the second threshold voltage region, a third gate junction is located in the third threshold voltage region, a fourth gate structure is located in the fourth threshold voltage region, a fifth gate structure is located in the fifth threshold voltage region, and a sixth gate structure is located in the sixth threshold voltage region. The contents of N-type polarization particles in the first gate dielectric layer, the second gate dielectric layer, and the third gate dielectric layer are different, so as to realize the voltage regulation of the first threshold voltage region, the second threshold voltage region, and the third threshold voltage region. The contents of P-type polarization particles in the fourth gate dielectric layer, the fifth gate dielectric layer, and the sixth gate dielectric layer are different, so as to realize the voltage regulation of the fourth threshold voltage region, the fifth threshold voltage region, and the sixth threshold voltage region. On the one hand, the voltage regulation of six threshold voltage regions is realized. On the other hand, this voltage regulation method does not require an additional thickness work function layer to achieve, so it can better adapt to the formation of gate structures with smaller critical dimensions, further increasing the openness of the device and having a wide range of applications.
