[0026] In response to at least one of the technical problems that the formation of deep trenches in the existing front-end process will have an adverse effect on the device, and the process integration is difficult and the improvement cost is high, the embodiments of the present application provide a semiconductor structure, a preparation method and a semiconductor device, the semiconductor device includes the semiconductor structure, and the semiconductor structure is prepared based on the preparation method of the semiconductor structure; first, an initial semiconductor structure is provided, the initial semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a doped buried layer embedded in the substrate, a shallow trench isolation structure exposed on the surface of the substrate, a gate located on the substrate, a barrier layer covering the gate surface and the substrate surface, a first dielectric layer stacked on the barrier layer and a first metal layer located on the first dielectric layer; then, in the preparation process of the intermediate metal layer after preparing the first metal layer, a deep trench is formed on the initial semiconductor structure, the deep trench penetrates the first dielectric layer, the barrier layer, the shallow trench isolation structure and then extends into the substrate; then, the deep trench is filled to form a deep trench isolation structure, the deep trench isolation structure and the doped buried layer are used to isolate adjacent device modules.

[0027] The preparation method places the deep groove formation step in the back-end process, specifically after the first metal layer formation step. The first metal layer can be the first metal layer formed in the back-end process or the intermediate metal layer located at the top of at least one intermediate metal layer, thereby effectively avoiding the adverse effects of the deep grooves formed in the front-end process on the device performance, and can also greatly avoid the wafer warping caused by the deep grooves undergoing more thermal processes in the front-end process, further improving the structural accuracy and device performance; and, the preparation method can simplify the process steps to a certain extent without changing the structure of the original semiconductor structure, and can also use the equipment in the original process for preparation, so as to facilitate the integration of the various process steps of the preparation method into the original equipment process, reduce the development difficulty, and thus help reduce the preparation cost and improvement cost.

[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1-14 The preparation method of the semiconductor structure of the embodiment of the present application is introduced in detail.

[0029] First, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , providing an initial semiconductor structure.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the initial semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a doped buried layer 13 embedded in the substrate, a shallow trench isolation structure 14 exposed on the surface of the substrate, a gate 15 located on the substrate, a barrier layer 16 covering the surface of the gate 15 and the surface of the substrate, a first dielectric layer 2 stacked on the barrier layer 16, and a first metal layer 3 located on the first dielectric layer 2.

[0031] Among them, the substrate includes a substrate layer 11 and an epitaxial layer 12 located on the substrate layer 11, the doped buried layer 13 is embedded at the interface between the substrate layer 11 and the epitaxial layer 12, the shallow trench isolation structure 14 is filled in the epitaxial layer 12, and the shallow trench isolation structure 14 is exposed on the surface of the epitaxial layer 12, the gate 15 is located on the epitaxial layer 12, and the barrier layer 16 covers the surface of the gate 15, the surface of the epitaxial layer 12 and the surface of the shallow trench isolation structure 14, so that the entire device layer 1 including the substrate, the doped buried layer 13, the shallow trench isolation structure 14, the gate 15 and the barrier layer 16 is isolated from the outside, specifically, forming good isolation between the first dielectric layer 2 and the first metal layer 3 above in the non-desired area, which is beneficial to improving the performance stability of the semiconductor structure, and can also protect the non-processing area in the subsequent process, which is beneficial to improving the preparation accuracy of the semiconductor structure.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the first dielectric layer 2 is the first dielectric layer directly covering the device layer 1 of the semiconductor structure, that is, the dielectric layer (Inter-Layer Dielectric, ILD) between the bottom-most first metal layer and the device layer 1 in the finally formed semiconductor device. The first dielectric layer 2 has at least one contact structure 22 (contact) passing through it, and the contact structure 22 passes through the barrier layer 16, so that each contact structure 22 can be used to respectively realize the electrical connection of the polysilicon gate 15, the source and the drain in the device layer 1. Accordingly, the first dielectric layer 2 is used to isolate each contact structure 22 to prevent crosstalk between the contact structures 22.

[0033] In addition, the metal material used for the electrical connection structure between adjacent layer structures such as the contact structure 22 and the subsequently formed first metal interconnection structure 611 may optionally include tungsten, which has good conductivity and can accurately control the thickness through chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition during the preparation process, thereby improving the preparation yield.

[0034] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the first metal layer 3 is located on the first dielectric layer 2, and the first metal layer 3 is in direct contact with the first dielectric layer 2 to achieve direct contact electrical connection. At this time, the first metal layer 3 is the first metal layer at the bottom of the semiconductor structure finally formed. In the current process, the first metal layer is exposed to the top of the initial semiconductor structure to perform the deep trench 5 formation step after the deposition and etching steps of the first metal layer.

[0035] In other exemplary embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the first metal layer 3 is located on the first dielectric layer 2, and the first metal layer 3 is in indirect contact with the first dielectric layer 2 to achieve indirect electrical connection, that is, the first metal layer 3 is an intermediate metal layer located between the first metal layer and the top metal layer in the finally formed semiconductor structure; accordingly, at least one wiring layer 4 is also included between the first metal layer 3 and the first dielectric layer 2, wherein the wiring layer 4 includes a third metal layer 41, a third dielectric layer 42 covering the third metal layer 41, and a second metal interconnect structure 43 that penetrates the third dielectric layer 42 and is electrically connected to the third metal layer 41; at this time, the first metal layer 3 is an intermediate metal layer on the wiring layer 4 located at the top in the current process, and is in direct contact with the wiring layer 4 located at the top in the current process to achieve electrical connection, then the intermediate metal layer is exposed to the top of the initial semiconductor structure in the current process, so that the deep trench 5 formation step is performed after the deposition and etching steps of the intermediate metal layer.

[0036] In this way, placing the step of forming the deep trench 5 after the step of forming the first metal layer or any intermediate metal layer can effectively avoid the adverse effects of steps such as forming the deep trench 5 in the front-end process on the device performance, and can be directly inserted into the original back-end process steps, simplifying the process steps, and not disrupting the original equipment process. The process integration difficulty is low, which is conducive to reducing preparation and improvement costs.

[0037] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the initial semiconductor structure can be manufactured by the following steps: providing a device layer 1; forming a first dielectric layer 2 on the device layer 1; A second through hole 21 is formed in the first dielectric layer 2 and filled with metal material to form a contact structure 22; A first metal layer 3 is formed on the first dielectric layer 2 having the contact structure 22 formed thereon; the first metal layer 3 is electrically connected to the contact structure 22 .

[0038] Among them, the second through hole 21 penetrates the barrier layer 16 so that one end of the contact structure 22 can be electrically connected to the device layer 1, and the contact structure 22 specifically contacts the epitaxial layer 12, or contacts the gate 15, so that the electrical connection between the first metal layer 3 and the device layer 1 is achieved through the contact structure 22; and in the process of forming the first metal layer 3, a whole layer of metal material can be first deposited to form a first initial metal layer, and then the first initial metal layer can be patterned and etched to form a first metal layer 3 with a desired pattern.

[0039] The first metal layer 3 may be the first metal layer; or the first metal layer 3 may be an intermediate metal layer, and at least one wiring layer 4 may be provided between the first dielectric layer 2 and the first metal layer 3. Then, forming the first metal layer 3 on the first dielectric layer 2 having the contact structure 22 formed thereon includes: forming at least one wiring layer 4 on the first dielectric layer 2 having the contact structure 22 formed thereon; A first metal layer 3 is formed on top of at least one wiring layer 4 .

[0040] At this time, the first metal layer 3 is electrically connected to the contact structure 22 through at least one wiring layer 4, specifically through the second metal interconnection structure 43 and the third metal layer 41 in the wiring layer 4 to achieve electrical connection with the contact structure 22, and finally achieve electrical connection between the first metal layer 3 and the device layer 1.

[0041] Next, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 During the preparation of the intermediate metal layer after the first metal layer 3 is prepared, a deep trench 5 is formed on the initial semiconductor structure.

[0042] The deep trench 5 extends into the substrate after passing through the first dielectric layer 2, the barrier layer 16, and the shallow trench isolation structure 14; further, the deep trench 5 extends into the substrate layer 11 after passing through the first dielectric layer 2, the barrier layer 16, the shallow trench isolation structure 14, and the epitaxial layer 12; in addition, when there is at least one wiring layer 4 in the initial semiconductor structure, the deep trench 5 extends into the substrate layer 11 after passing through at least one third dielectric layer 42, the first dielectric layer 2, the barrier layer 16, the shallow trench isolation structure 14, and the epitaxial layer 12; the deep trench 5 is formed after the formation step of the first metal layer 3 at the top in the current process, which can effectively reduce the influence of the formation of the deep trench 5 in the front-end process on the morphology and performance of the semiconductor structure, greatly improve the preparation yield and preparation accuracy of the semiconductor structure, and is conducive to improving the device performance of the semiconductor structure.

[0043] Specifically, the longitudinal depth of the deep trench 5 in the substrate is 20 μm to 40 μm, that is, the longitudinal depth of the subsequently formed deep trench isolation structure 6 in the substrate is 20 μm to 40 μm. The longitudinal depth in the substrate here refers to the total length of the deep trench 5 in the epitaxial layer 12 and the substrate layer 11, and the deep trench 5 penetrates the shallow trench isolation structure 14 in the epitaxial layer 12, that is, the longitudinal depth is specifically the total longitudinal length of the deep trench 5 in the shallow trench isolation structure 14, the portion of the epitaxial layer 12 below the shallow trench isolation structure 14, and the substrate layer 11; it can be understood that the longitudinal depth of the deep trench 5 in the substrate can be 20 μm to 40 μm. any point value in 40μm; illustratively, the longitudinal depth of the deep trench 5 in the substrate can be 20μm, 22μm, 25μm, 27μm, 30μm, 35μm, 40μm, etc.; this is beneficial to controlling the longitudinal depth of the subsequently filled deep trench isolation structure 6, while improving the isolation effect, reducing crosstalk, and improving the device performance of the manufactured semiconductor structure; in some exemplary embodiments, the longitudinal depth of the deep trench 5 in the substrate is 25μm to 35μm; in addition, in some optional embodiments, the total longitudinal depth of the deep trench 5 in the substrate and the barrier layer 16 is 20μm to 40μm.

[0044] Next, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , filling the deep trench 5 to form a deep trench isolation structure 6; the deep trench isolation structure 6 and the doped buried layer 13 are used to isolate adjacent device modules.

[0045] Specifically, the device module may include a partial functional module in a semiconductor device, or may also be a completed semiconductor device; Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the doped buried layer 13 is connected to the deep trench isolation structure 6, and the end of the deep trench isolation structure 6 extending in the substrate is located below the doped buried layer 13. The deep trench isolation structure 6 and the doped buried layer 13 are used together to isolate adjacent device modules, which can effectively improve the isolation reliability and is conducive to improving the stability of device performance.

[0046] Specifically, if Figure 7 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the deep trench isolation structure 6 completely fills the deep trench 5, that is, no air gap 7 is formed in the deep trench isolation structure 6; and as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, in other exemplary embodiments, the deep trench isolation structure 6 has a closed air gap 7, which can release thermal stress in subsequent back-end processes, which is beneficial to maintaining the morphology accuracy of the semiconductor structure and improving the device performance of the semiconductor structure.

[0047] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the process of forming the deep trench isolation structure 6, a filling dielectric layer 61 is formed which is stacked on the initial semiconductor structure and covers at least the wall of the deep trench 5. The filling dielectric layer 61 area located in the deep trench 5 in the filling dielectric layer 61 is reused as the deep trench isolation structure 6, and specifically can be reused as at least part of the deep trench isolation structure 6. In some exemplary embodiments, a whole layer of initial filling dielectric layer 612 can be deposited on the first metal layer 3 first, and the initial filling dielectric layer 612 covers the first dielectric layer 2 and the first metal layer 3. At the same time, part of the dielectric material in the initial filling dielectric layer 612 is filled in the deep trench 5 and covers at least the wall of the deep trench 5. Then, through planarization treatment, the initial filling dielectric layer 612 can be thinned to form a filling dielectric layer 61. A part of the remaining filling dielectric layer 61 covers the first dielectric layer 2 and the first metal layer 3, and the other part fills and covers at least the wall of the deep trench 5. The material of the filling dielectric layer 61 can optionally include insulating materials such as silicon dioxide to improve the isolation reliability of the device module.

[0048] Moreover, placing the step of forming the deep trench isolation structure 6 after the deposition and etching steps of the first metal layer 3 allows the dielectric layer covering the deep trench isolation structure 6 and the dielectric layer covering the first metal layer 3 in the original process to be shared. Accordingly, the shared dielectric layer (including the filling dielectric layer 61, or including the filling dielectric layer 61 and the second dielectric layer 8) can be completed through one deposition and one polishing, which effectively simplifies the process steps, reduces the preparation cost, and also facilitates reducing the difficulty of process integration and saving improvement costs.

[0049] Specifically, if Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, after filling the deep trench 5 and forming the deep trench isolation structure 6, specifically after forming the initial filling dielectric layer 612, the preparation method further includes: A first through hole 610 is formed penetrating the filling dielectric layer 61 ; the first through hole 610 exposes the metal layer adjacent to the filling dielectric layer 61 ; A first metal interconnect structure 611 is filled in the first through hole 610; the first metal interconnect structure 611 is used to electrically connect with the metal layer of the adjacent filled dielectric layer 61; A second metal layer 9 is formed on the filling dielectric layer 61 ; the second metal layer 9 is electrically connected to the first metal interconnect structure 611 .

[0050] The second metal layer 9 is electrically connected to the adjacent metal layer below through the first metal interconnect structure 611, thereby achieving electrical connection between the bottom device layer 1 and the first metal layer and the second metal layer 9 through layer-by-layer connection; in some exemplary embodiments, in the process of forming the second metal layer 9, metal material can be first deposited to form an entire layer of second initial metal layer 91, and then the second initial metal layer 91 can be patterned and etched to form a second metal layer 9 with a desired pattern.

[0051] After the deep trench isolation structure 6 is formed, specifically after the second metal layer 9 is formed, the second metal layer 9 can be used as the top metal layer in the final semiconductor structure, and then the packaging process of the semiconductor structure is carried out; or, the second metal layer 9 can be used as the third metal layer 41 in the next wiring layer 4, and at least one wiring layer 4 is continued to be formed, until the top metal layer is formed on the topmost wiring layer 4, and then the packaging process of the semiconductor structure is carried out.

[0052] Specifically, if Figure 6 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the region of the filling dielectric layer 61 located in the deep trench 5 is used as the entire deep trench isolation structure 6. In the preparation process, through deposition and planarization treatment, the following can be obtained: Figure 1 The semiconductor structure shown uses the region of the filling dielectric layer 61 located in the deep trench 5 as the entire deep trench isolation structure 6 .

[0053] Specifically, if Figure 10 As shown, in the process of preparing the semiconductor structure in which the area of ​​the filling dielectric layer 61 located in the deep trench 5 serves as the entire deep trench isolation structure 6, forming the deep trench 5 on the initial semiconductor structure includes: After forming the first metal layer 3, an isolation layer 31 is formed on the first metal layer 3; the isolation layer 31 covers the first metal layer 3 and the first dielectric layer 2; A deep trench 5 is etched on the initial semiconductor structure with the isolation layer 31 to form a deep trench 5 ; the deep trench 5 penetrates the isolation layer 31 , the first dielectric layer 2 , the barrier layer 16 and the shallow trench isolation structure 14 and then extends into the substrate.

[0054] Among them, the material of the isolation layer 31 is silicon oxygen-rich silicon oxide (SRO), which can be formed on the first metal layer 3 by chemical vapor deposition. In the subsequent deep trench 5 etching process, the isolation layer 31 can effectively isolate the first metal layer 3 and the photoresist deposited on the surface of the isolation layer 31, preventing the first metal layer 3 and the photoresist from direct contact. The isolation layer 31 can also protect the first metal layer 3, preventing the metal material of the first metal layer 3 from being bombarded during the deep trench 5 etching process and damaging the first metal layer 3, which is beneficial to improving the preparation yield and the performance stability of the obtained semiconductor structure.

[0055] During the etching process of the deep trench 5, photoresist is coated on the isolation layer 31, and etched after exposure to form a process window corresponding to the morphology of the deep trench 5 in the photoresist. By adjusting the process parameters such as the duty cycle, etching rate and etching selectivity of the photolithography process, the position and size of the deep trench 5 are precisely controlled. The etching has good controllability and high precision, which is conducive to improving the etching accuracy in the process of transferring the trench morphology to the initial semiconductor structure, improving the position accuracy and morphology accuracy of the deep trench 5, and ultimately helping to improve device performance. At the same time, the photolithography process has low complexity and high etching rate, which is conducive to improving preparation efficiency.

[0056] Specifically, if Figure 10 As shown in FIG, in the process of preparing a semiconductor structure in which the area in the deep trench 5 in the filling dielectric layer 61 is used as the entire deep trench isolation structure 6, after the deep trench 5 is formed on the initial semiconductor structure having the first metal layer 3, the deep trench 5 specifically penetrates the isolation layer 31, the first dielectric layer 2, the barrier layer 16, the shallow trench isolation structure 14 and the epitaxial layer 12, and extends into the substrate layer 11; and as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, in the process of forming the filling dielectric layer 61, the filling dielectric layer 61 is specifically stacked on the isolation layer 31 and filled in the deep trench 5 to at least cover the groove wall of the deep trench 5, and the area located in the deep trench 5 is reused as the entire deep trench isolation structure 6; in addition, the step of planarizing the initial filling dielectric layer 612 to form the filling dielectric layer 61 can be performed before forming the first through hole 610, or after forming the first through hole 610, or before or after forming the first metal interconnection structure 611, as long as it is performed before the step of forming the second metal layer 9.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the first through hole 610 specifically penetrates the isolation layer 31 and the filling dielectric layer 61 on the first metal layer 3, so that the first through hole 610 exposes the first metal layer 3. After the deep trench isolation structure 6 is formed, in the process of forming the second metal layer 9, the first metal interconnection structure 611 filled in the first through hole 610 specifically passes through the filling dielectric layer 61 and the isolation layer 31 to be electrically connected to the first metal layer 3, thereby improving the effectiveness and stability of the electrical connection.

[0058] Specifically, in some preferred embodiments, during the formation of the deep trench isolation structure 6, a filling dielectric layer 61 is formed by high-density plasma deposition (HDP) to be stacked on the initial semiconductor structure and at least cover the walls of the deep trench 5. Specifically, a high-density plasma deposition process is used in the formation of the initial filling dielectric layer 612. The high-density plasma deposition process adopts a deposition-etching-deposition cycle process during the preparation process. That is, after the initial deposition is completed and the partial hole filling has not yet occurred, an etching bombardment is immediately performed to reopen the entrance of the deep trench 5, and then deposition is performed again to complete the filling of the entire deep trench 5. This is suitable for filling deep trenches 5 with a high aspect ratio, and can achieve a good hole filling effect, thereby better controlling the morphology of the filling dielectric layer 61. In addition, an isolation layer 31 is covered on the first metal layer 3, which can play a protective role in the etching process of the high-density plasma deposition process, preventing the metal material of the first metal layer 3 from being bombarded, effectively preventing damage to the first metal layer 3 during the formation of the deep trench isolation structure 6, and improving the preparation accuracy and structural reliability of the resulting semiconductor structure.

[0059] Specifically, the air gap 7 can be formed synchronously in the process of forming the filling dielectric layer 61 by high-density plasma deposition, specifically, it can be formed synchronously in the deep trench 5 in the process of forming the initial filling dielectric layer 612 by high-density plasma deposition; the filling dielectric layer 61 area located in the deep trench 5 in the filling dielectric layer 61 is reused as the entire deep trench isolation structure 6, and when the air gap 7 exists in the area of ​​the filling dielectric layer 61 located in the deep trench 5, the position of the air gap 7 in the deep trench 5 is determined based on the sputtering rate and deposition rate of high-density plasma deposition, so that the position and morphology of the air gap 7 can be better controlled by the high-density plasma deposition process, which is conducive to releasing thermal stress when undergoing thermal processes in subsequent processes, reducing adverse effects on the deep trench isolation structure 6 and the overall morphology of the semiconductor structure, and improving the device performance of the semiconductor structure.

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, in the semiconductor structure in which the area of ​​the filling dielectric layer 61 located in the deep trench 5 serves as the entire deep trench isolation structure 6, the air gap 7 at least vertically spans the substrate layer 11, the epitaxial layer 12, the barrier layer 16 and the first dielectric layer 2, that is, one end of the air gap 7 away from the substrate layer 11 is located below the upper surface of the first dielectric layer 2. At the same time, the other end of the air gap 7 can specifically extend into the substrate layer 11, which can release thermal stress in subsequent back-end processes, is beneficial to maintaining the morphological accuracy of the semiconductor structure, and improves the device performance of the semiconductor structure.

[0061] Specifically, if Figure 7As shown, in other exemplary embodiments, the deep trench isolation structure 6 further includes a deep trench metal isolation structure 62 and a partially filled dielectric layer 61 region located in the deep trench 5, and the deep trench metal isolation structure 62 is filled in the partially filled dielectric layer 61 region located in the deep trench 5, that is, the portion of the dielectric material in the filled dielectric layer 61 located in the deep trench 5 covers the sidewall of the deep trench 5 and is reused as a portion of the deep trench isolation structure 6, and the other portion of the deep trench isolation structure 6 is composed of the deep trench metal isolation structure 62; then, in the preparation process, the filling dielectric layer 61 is first formed, and then a metal material is further deposited in the deep trench 5 having the filling dielectric layer 61 to form the deep trench metal isolation structure 62, and the result can be as shown in FIG. Figure 2 The semiconductor structure shown has a deep trench metal isolation structure 62 and a partially filled dielectric layer 61 that together serve as a deep trench isolation structure 6 . The deep trench isolation structure 6 formed by the two cooperates with each other to achieve good isolation.

[0062] Specifically, if Figure 11 As shown, in the preparation method of forming the semiconductor structure with the deep trench metal isolation structure 62, the initial semiconductor structure also includes a second dielectric layer 8 covering the first metal layer 3. The second dielectric layer 8 is specifically stacked on the first dielectric layer 2 and covers the first metal layer 3. Accordingly, the deep trench 5 formed in the initial semiconductor structure specifically extends into the substrate after passing through the second dielectric layer 8, the first dielectric layer 2, the barrier layer 16, and the shallow trench isolation structure 14, and extends into the substrate, and passes through the epitaxial layer 12 and extends into the substrate layer 11. In subsequent process steps, the second dielectric layer 8 can serve as an isolation medium between metal materials in different regions within the first metal layer 3, and can also serve as a partial isolation medium between the first metal layer 3 and the adjacent second metal layer 9 above it, and together with the filling dielectric layer 61 subsequently stacked on the second dielectric layer 8, serve as an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer to further enhance the isolation effect.

[0063] Specifically, if Figure 12 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, in the method for preparing the semiconductor structure having the deep trench metal isolation structure 62, the step of filling the deep trench 5 to form the deep trench isolation structure 6 includes: An initial filling dielectric layer 612 is formed on the second dielectric layer 8; the initial filling dielectric layer 612 covers the second dielectric layer 8 and covers the sidewalls and bottom wall of the deep trench 5; The initial filling dielectric layer 612 region on the bottom wall of the deep trench 5 is etched back until the bottom wall of the deep trench 5 is exposed. After the etch-back process, the remaining initial filling dielectric layer 612 forms a filling dielectric layer 61 that is stacked on the initial semiconductor structure and covers at least the wall of the deep trench 5. The deep trench 5 is filled based on a metal filling process to form a deep trench metal isolation structure 62 to obtain a deep trench isolation structure 6 ; the deep trench isolation structure 6 includes the deep trench metal isolation structure 62 and a filling dielectric layer 61 covering the wall of the deep trench 5 .

[0064] In the process of forming the initial filling dielectric layer 612, the initial filling dielectric layer 612 is formed into a thin film and covers the surface of the second dielectric layer 8 and the side walls and bottom walls of the deep trench 5 through a deposition process, and the preparation is simple and efficient. At this time, the initial filling dielectric layer 612 in the deep trench 5 causes the diameter of the deep trench 5 to be reduced to a certain extent, and the longitudinal depth of the deep trench 5 is also reduced to a certain extent.

[0065] Afterwards, by etching back, the dielectric material of part of the initial filling dielectric layer 612 on the bottom wall of the deep trench 5 is removed, exposing the bottom wall of the deep trench 5, that is, exposing the substrate layer 11 material at the bottom end of the deep trench 5, so that the bottom end of the deep trench metal isolation structure 62 formed subsequently can contact the substrate layer 11 material; and, in the etching back process, the dielectric material on the bottom wall of the deep trench 5 is removed, and the dielectric material covering the surface of the second dielectric layer 8 is simultaneously thinned to the desired thickness, that is, the remaining initial filling dielectric layer 612 forms a filling dielectric layer 61 stacked on the second dielectric layer 8 and covering the sidewalls of the deep trench 5, so as to effectively control the morphology of the semiconductor structure.

[0066] Specifically, if Figure 13 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, before filling the deep trench 5 based on a metal filling process to form a deep trench metal isolation structure 62 to obtain a deep trench isolation structure 6, the preparation method further includes: After the etch-back process, ion implantation is performed at the bottom of the deep trench 5 to form a doping structure 63 .

[0067] At this time, in the state where the substrate layer 11 of the bottom wall of the deep trench 5 is exposed, ion implantation is performed at the bottom of the deep trench 5, specifically, ion implantation is performed with a relatively light doping concentration, which is beneficial to improving the breakdown voltage, and thus beneficial to improving the device performance of the semiconductor structure; in addition, the morphology of the doping structure 63 is smooth, and can be circular, elliptical or arc-shaped, and the charge is relatively concentrated, which is beneficial to the dispersion of the electric field.

[0068] Specifically, if Figure 9 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, before filling the deep trench 5 based on a metal filling process to form a deep trench metal isolation structure 62 to obtain a deep trench isolation structure 6, the preparation method further includes: forming a first through hole 610 penetrating the filling dielectric layer 61 and the second dielectric layer 8; In the process of filling the deep trench 5 based on the metal filling process to form the deep trench metal isolation structure 62, the first through hole 610 is cooperatively filled to form a first metal interconnection structure; After forming the first metal interconnect structure 611 , a second metal layer 9 is formed on the filling dielectric layer 61 .

[0069] Among them, in some optional embodiments, the formation of the first through hole 610 can be specifically after the formation of the doping structure 63; after the first through hole 610 penetrates the second dielectric layer 8 and the filling dielectric layer 61, the surface of the first metal layer 3 is exposed, so that the first metal interconnection structure 611 is electrically connected to the first metal layer 3 after passing through the filling dielectric layer 61 and the second dielectric layer 8; at the same time, the first metal interconnection structure 611 and the deep trench metal isolation structure 62 use the same metal material, for example, both can be tungsten metal, and before filling the deep trench 5 based on the metal filling process, the first through hole 610 exposes the first metal layer 3 and covers the portion of the filling dielectric layer 6 on the sidewall of the deep trench 5. 1 exposes the substrate layer 11. Then, based on the metal filling process, while the deep trench metal isolation structure 62 is filled in the deep trench 5, the first through hole 610 is also filled to form the first metal interconnection structure 611. This allows the formation of the deep trench metal isolation structure 62 and the formation of the first metal interconnection structure 611 to share the same metal filling process, thereby simplifying the process steps. In other words, the process steps of the deep trench metal isolation structure 62 are directly integrated into the original process of preparing the first metal interconnection structure 611. The original process equipment for preparing the first metal interconnection structure 611 can be used, which reduces the difficulty of process integration and helps reduce the improvement cost and overall preparation cost.

[0070] Specifically, if Figure 7 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, when the deep trench isolation structure 6 includes a deep trench metal isolation structure 62 , the deep trench metal isolation structure 62 completely fills the deep trench 5 , that is, no air gap 7 exists in the deep trench metal isolation structure 62 .

[0071] Specifically, in other exemplary embodiments, during the process of filling the deep trench metal isolation structure 62, the air gap 7 is also synchronously formed in the deep trench 5; then, when the deep trench isolation structure 6 includes the deep trench metal isolation structure 62 and the air gap 7 exists in the deep trench isolation structure 6, the air gap 7 is enclosed in the deep trench metal isolation structure 62; wherein, in some exemplary embodiments, one end of the air gap 7 is located in the substrate layer 11, spanning the substrate layer 11, the epitaxial layer 12, the barrier layer 16, the first dielectric layer 2 and the second dielectric layer 8; in other exemplary embodiments, one end of the air gap 7 is located in the substrate layer 11, spanning the substrate layer 11, the epitaxial layer 12, the barrier layer 16 and the first dielectric layer 2, and the other end of the air gap 7 is located below the first metal layer 3, that is, the height of the air gap 7 does not exceed the bottom surface of the first metal layer 3; the air gap 7 facilitates the release of thermal stress in subsequent processes, improving the preparation accuracy and device performance of the semiconductor structure.
