[0045] It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the application can be combined with each other, as far as they are not incompatible. In addition, the specific steps of the methods recited in the present application are not necessarily limited to the recited order, but can be executed in any order or in parallel, unless explicitly limited or contradicted by context.
[0046] Furthermore, when using "connected" or "coupled" in the present application, it can mean direct contact or indirect contact between the corresponding components, unless there is an explicit other limitation or it can be derived from the context.
[0047] The application will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings and embodiments.
[0048] Figure 1 A vertical transistor in a semiconductor structure is shown. The semiconductor structure includes a vertical transistor (reference Figure 1 ) and a capacitor structure (not shown) located on one side of the vertical transistor along a first direction Z.
[0049] A method of forming the vertical transistor includes: ion implantation from a first side of a semiconductor layer (not shown) to form a first doped layer in the semiconductor layer, the first doped layer including a first doped region 10 and a second doped region 11, the second doped region 11 having a doping concentration less than that of the first doped region 10; then patterning a portion of the semiconductor layer on a side of the first doped layer facing the first side to form a semiconductor body 12; forming a gate layer 15 on at least one side of the semiconductor body 12 in a second direction intersecting the first direction Z; and forming a second doped layer 13 in a portion of the semiconductor body 12. The capacitor structure is located on a side of the second doped layer 13 facing away from the first doped layer.
[0050] Since the semiconductor body 12 in the vertical transistor has a relatively large size along the first direction Z, the distance between the first doped layer and the surface of the semiconductor layer facing the first side is relatively large, which is not conducive to precisely controlling the position of ion implantation into the semiconductor layer by the ion implantation process, and thus is not conducive to improving the position accuracy of the first doped layer.
[0051] Another method of forming the vertical transistor includes: patterning the semiconductor layer from a first side of the semiconductor layer to form a semiconductor body 12; forming a gate layer 15 on at least one side of the semiconductor body 12 in a second direction; and forming a second doped layer 13 in a portion of the semiconductor body 12; ion implantation from a second side of the semiconductor layer opposite the first side to form a first doped layer in the semiconductor layer. In this case, in order to simplify the overall process of preparing the semiconductor structure as much as possible, ion implantation needs to be performed from the second side of the semiconductor layer to form the first doped layer in the semiconductor layer after the capacitor structure is formed. However, due to the relatively weak high-temperature resistance of the capacitor structure, annealing treatment of the first doped layer will affect the performance of the capacitor structure, and if the first doped layer is not annealed, it is difficult to reduce defects introduced by ion implantation.
[0052] Some embodiments of the present application provide a method 10000 of preparing a semiconductor structure, referring to Figure 2 , the method of preparing a semiconductor structure can include:

[0055] S3: forming a gate layer, the gate layer being located on at least one side of the semiconductor body in a second direction; wherein the second direction intersects the first direction.
[0056] The following will be described in detail Figures 3 to 21 The detailed description of each step of the method for manufacturing the semiconductor structure is the specific process in the present application.

[0065] In other embodiments, the protective layer 110 may not be formed.
[0066] refer to Figures 5 to 6 , Figure 5 In order to be in Figure 4 A basic diagram. Figure 6 In order to be in Figure 5 The schematic diagram shows that forming a first doped layer D1 in the first semiconductor layer 100 includes: implanting ions into the first semiconductor layer 100 to form a first initial doped layer D11; and annealing the first initial doped layer D11 to form the first doped layer D1.
[0067] refer to Figure 5 Ions are implanted in the first semiconductor layer 100 to form a first initial doped layer D 11.
[0068] In some embodiments, implanting ions into the first semiconductor layer 100 to form a first initial doped layer D11 includes: implanting ions into the first semiconductor layer 100 through a protective layer 110 to form the first initial doped layer D11. During the formation of the first initial doped layer D11, the protective layer 110 can protect the first surface 1000 and reduce ion implantation damage to the first surface 1000 of the first semiconductor layer 100.
[0069] In some implementations, reference Figure 5 Implanting ions into the first semiconductor layer 100 to form a first initial doped layer D11 includes: forming a first initial doped layer D11 including a first initial doped region 130a and a second initial doped region 120a in the first semiconductor layer 100 using an ion implantation process.
[0070] In some embodiments, a second initial doped region 120a is formed after the first initial doped region 130a is formed.
[0071] In another embodiment, the first initial doped region 130a is formed after the second initial doped region 120a is formed.
[0072] In some embodiments, the second initial doped region 120a and the first initial doped region 130a have the same doping type, and the doping concentration of the second initial doped region 120a is less than the doping concentration of the first initial doped region 130a.
[0073] In other embodiments, the first initial doping region 130a can be formed without forming the second initial doping region 120a.
[0074] In some embodiments, the first initial doping layer D11 is of N-type; or, the first initial doping layer D11 is of P-type.
[0075] In some embodiments, a defect layer 140 is formed in the first semiconductor layer 100 during the process of implanting ions to form the first initial doping layer D11. The defect layer 140 can be removed by a subsequent annealing process.
[0076] In some embodiments, the distance between the second initial doping region 120a and the first surface 1000 along the first direction Z is greater than zero.
[0077] In some embodiments, the distance between the first initial doping region 130a and the first surface 1000 along the first direction Z is greater than zero.
[0078] It should be noted that, Figure 5 In order to better show the position of the defect layer 140 in the first semiconductor layer 100, the defect layer 140 and the first initial doping layer D11 are shown separately. In fact, the defect layer 140 can also extend to connect with the first initial doping layer D11.
[0079] Reference is made to Figure 6 The first initial doping layer D11 (reference Figure 5 ) is subjected to an annealing process to form a first doping layer D1.
[0080] The annealing process is used to activate the ions in the first initial doping layer D11 and remove the defect layer 140.
[0081] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 The first initial doping layer D11 is subjected to an annealing process, including: the first initial doping region 130a and the second initial doping region 120a are subjected to an annealing process to form a first doping region 130 and a second doping region 120, respectively. The second doping region 120 and the first doping region 130 are of the same doping type, and the doping concentration of the second doping region 120 is less than that of the first doping region 130. The second doping region 120 is located on the side of the first doping region 130 facing the first surface 1000.
[0082] The annealing of the first initial doped region 130a and the second initial doped region 120a to form the first doped region 130 and the second doped region 120 respectively means that the first initial doped region 130a is annealed to form the first doped region 130, and the second initial doped region 120a is annealed to form the second doped region 120.
[0083] In some embodiments, the distance between the second doped region 120 and the first surface 1000 along the first direction Z is greater than zero, and the distance between the first doped region 130 and the first surface 1000 along the first direction Z is greater than zero.
[0084] In some embodiments, the size of the first doped region 130 along the first direction Z is 30nm-70nm. In other embodiments, the size of the first doped region 130 along the first direction Z is not limited.
[0085] In some embodiments, the size of the second doped region 120 along the first direction Z is 5nm-35nm. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the size of the second doped region 120 along the first direction Z is not limited.
[0086] In some embodiments, the size of the surface of the first doped layer D1 on the side facing the first surface 1000 to the first surface 1000 along the first direction Z is less than or equal to 60nm.
[0087] In some embodiments, the doping concentration of the first doped region 130 is distributed in different regions of the first doped region 130 from the first doping concentration to the second doping concentration, and the second doping concentration is greater than the first doping concentration. Wherein, the second doping concentration is less than or equal to 50 times the first doping concentration.
[0088] In some embodiments, the doping concentration of the second doped region 120 is distributed in different regions of the second doped region 120 from the third doping concentration to the fourth doping concentration, and the fourth doping concentration is greater than the third doping concentration. Wherein, the fourth doping concentration is less than or equal to 10 times the third doping concentration.
[0089] Since the ion implantation depth for forming the first initial doping layer D11 in the first semiconductor layer 100 is relatively small, that is, the dimension of the first initial doping layer D11 from the surface towards the first surface 1000 to the first surface 1000 along the first direction Z is small, the distribution range of the implanted ions in the first semiconductor layer 100 can be controlled more accurately, the ion distribution in the first initial doping region 130a is more concentrated, the ion distribution in the second initial doping region 120a is more concentrated, and the position accuracy of the first initial doping layer D11 in the first semiconductor layer 100 is improved. After the annealing process, the first initial doping layer D11 forms the first doping layer D1, and accordingly, the position accuracy of the first doping layer D1 in the first semiconductor layer 100 is improved, and the difference of the doping concentration of the first doping region 130 in different regions of the first doping region 130 is relatively small, and the difference of the doping concentration of the second doping region 120 in different regions of the second doping region 120 is relatively small.
[0090] Reference Figure 7 After the annealing process of the first initial doping layer D11, part or all of the protective layer 110 located at the first surface 1000 is removed.
[0091] In some embodiments, the process of removing part or all of the protective layer 110 located at the first surface 1000 is an etching process, which includes one of a dry etching process and a wet etching process or a combination thereof.
[0092] In some embodiments, all of the protective layer 110 located at the first surface 1000 is removed. In other embodiments, part of the protective layer 110 located at the first surface 1000 is removed. Figure 7 In some embodiments, all of the protective layer 110 located at the first surface 1000 is removed as an example.
[0093] Reference Figure 8 In response to forming the first doping layer D1, a second semiconductor layer 150 is formed on one side of the first semiconductor layer 100 along the first direction Z.
[0094] After forming the first doping layer D1, a second semiconductor layer 150 is formed on one side of the first semiconductor layer 100 along the first direction Z.
[0095] In some embodiments, after removing part or all of the protective layer 110 located at the first surface 1000, a second semiconductor layer 150 is formed on one side of the first semiconductor layer 100 along the first direction Z.
[0096] In some embodiments, the process of forming the second semiconductor layer 150 is a deposition process, which includes a thin film deposition process of chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, or any combination thereof.
[0097] In some embodiments, the material of the first semiconductor layer 100 and the material of the second semiconductor layer 150 are the same; or, the material of the first semiconductor layer 100 and the material of the second semiconductor layer 150 are different.
[0098] In some embodiments, the material of the second semiconductor layer 150 comprises any one of silicon, silicon-germanium, silicon-carbon, and a III-V compound semiconductor material.
[0099] In some embodiments, the size of the second semiconductor layer 150 along the first direction Z is 80 nm to 200 nm. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the size of the second semiconductor layer 150 along the first direction Z is not limited.
[0100] Since the first doped layer D1 is formed in the first semiconductor layer 100 before the second semiconductor layer 150 is formed, the distance from the first doped layer D1 to the first surface 1000 is small, so that the position accuracy of the first doped layer D1 is improved.
