[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] In related technologies, ozone (O3) or oxygen plasma (O-plasma) are commonly used oxidation sources in the process of growing metal oxide semiconductor channel materials by ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition). Both are strong oxidants, and they usually also produce a certain degree of oxidation on the deposited substrate during the growth of the target material.
[0026] For device structures where source and drain electrodes are preferentially deposited, during the growth of channel materials, O3 or O-plasma oxide sources may cause oxidation of the surface materials of the source and drain electrodes, resulting in an increase in the source and drain contact resistance and a decrease in the on-state current, thereby limiting the improvement of device performance.
[0027] This application addresses the problem that O3 or O-plasma oxide sources may cause oxidation of source and drain electrode materials in semiconductor device structures where source and drain electrodes are preferentially deposited, during the subsequent growth of channel materials via ALD process. It provides semiconductor devices, their manufacturing methods, and electronic devices, aiming to solve the aforementioned technical problems in related technologies.
[0028] This application embodiment can effectively regulate the oxidation effect of the deposition process on the substrate by adjusting the concentration or pulse time of O3 or the power of O-plasma during the deposition growth process. This can reduce the oxidation degree of the source and drain electrodes during the channel material deposition growth process, reduce the source and drain contact resistance, and at the same time ensure sufficient oxygen content in the channel layer film and prevent degradation of properties such as sheet resistance of the channel layer film, thereby improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.
[0029] The technical solution of this application and how it solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments can be referenced, borrowed, or combined with each other, and the same terms, similar features, and similar implementation steps in different embodiments will not be described again.
[0030] This application provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and the flowchart of the method is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the structural schematic diagrams of the semiconductor device manufacturing method at different processes are as follows: Figures 3 to 10 as well as Figures 11 to 35 As shown, the method for manufacturing this semiconductor device includes: S101. A first electrode 21 is fabricated on one side of the substrate 10.
[0031] S102, Fabricate the second electrode 22; the second electrode 22 is insulated from the first electrode 21.
[0032] S103. A semiconductor layer 23 is fabricated using a deposition process based on a first oxide source, and a gate insulating layer 24 and a gate 25 are fabricated to obtain a transistor 20. The semiconductor layer 23 is electrically connected to the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22, respectively, and the gate insulating layer 24 is located between the semiconductor layer 23 and the gate 25. At least one of the following parameters of the first oxide source—concentration, pulse time, and power—is less than the corresponding parameter value of a conventional deposition process.
[0033] In this embodiment, substrate 10 is used to carry transistor 20.
[0034] In this embodiment, a first electrode 21 is first fabricated on one side of the substrate 10; then a second electrode 22, which is insulated from the first electrode 21, is fabricated; subsequently, a semiconductor layer 23, a gate insulating layer 24, and a gate 25 are fabricated to obtain a transistor 20. The semiconductor layer 23 is fabricated using a deposition process with a first oxide source, where at least one parameter value (concentration, pulse time, or power) is less than the corresponding parameter value of the oxide source in a conventional deposition process. The semiconductor layer 23 is electrically connected to the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22, respectively. Compared to the oxide source in a conventional deposition process, the first oxide source has a lower oxidation effect and degree on the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22. The thickness of the interface layer formed between the first electrode 21 and the semiconductor layer 23, and between the second electrode 22 and the semiconductor layer 23, is thinner. This reduces the contact resistance between the first electrode 21 and the semiconductor layer 23, and between the second electrode 22 and the semiconductor layer 23, thereby improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.
[0035] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the first electrode 21 is one of the source and drain of the transistor 20, and the second electrode 22 is the other of the source and drain of the transistor 20.
[0036] The semiconductor device manufacturing method provided in this application embodiment can reduce the oxidation effect and degree of the growth process on the source and drain electrode materials and reduce the interface layer thickness between the source and drain electrode materials and the semiconductor layer materials without increasing the process complexity or photomask. This can achieve the effect of reducing the source and drain contact resistance of the device and improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.
[0037] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the oxidation source for the conventional deposition process refers to the conventional oxidation source used in existing production. The concentration, pulse time, and power parameters of the conventional oxidation source are the commonly used concentration, pulse time, and power parameters of the oxidation source used in existing production.
[0038] Optionally, in this embodiment, the deposition process based on the first oxidation source employs atomic layer deposition (ALD). Of course, in other optional embodiments, processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), direct oxidation deposition (LANXIDE), and chemical solution deposition (CSD) can also be used as needed.

GS ) and drain current (I D The current-voltage characteristic curve of the transistor is used as the baseline; the model line represents the gate voltage (V) of the transistor fabricated using the deposition process of the first oxide source to create the semiconductor layer. GS ) and drain current (I D The current-voltage characteristic curve of ).
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the transistor device fabricated by forming a semiconductor layer based on a deposition process using a first oxide source has an on-state current that is more than 1 times that of a transistor device fabricated by forming a semiconductor layer based on a conventional deposition process.
[0041] The source-drain electrode resistivity of the transistor fabricated using the deposition process based on the first oxide source is more than 30% of that of the transistor fabricated using the conventional deposition process; the carrier concentration of the semiconductor layer fabricated using the deposition process based on the first oxide source is more than 5 times that of the semiconductor layer fabricated using the conventional deposition process.
[0042] In some optional embodiments of this application, the gate insulating layer 24 and / or the gate 25 are fabricated using a deposition process based on a second oxide source; wherein at least one of the parameters of the concentration, pulse time, and power of the second oxide source is greater than the corresponding parameter values of a conventional deposition process.
[0043] In this embodiment, the semiconductor layer 23 is fabricated using a deposition process with a first oxide source whose concentration, pulse time, and power are all lower than the corresponding parameters of the oxide source in a conventional deposition process. At least one of the gate insulating layer 24 and the gate 25 is fabricated using a deposition process with a second oxide source whose concentration, pulse time, and power are all higher than the corresponding parameters of the oxide source in a conventional deposition process. Compared to the oxide source in a conventional deposition process, the second oxide source enhances the oxidation effect on the semiconductor layer 23, thereby ensuring sufficient oxygen content in the semiconductor layer 23 and preventing degradation of properties such as sheet resistance of the semiconductor layer 23, thus improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.
[0044] Optionally, the semiconductor device manufacturing method provided in this application embodiment can be used to fabricate horizontal channel transistors and multilayer stacked semiconductor devices, vertical channel transistors and multilayer stacked semiconductor devices, etc. The following description uses a vertical channel transistor as an example.

[0050] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first electrode 21 serves as the drain electrode (or drain).
[0051] In some optional embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, after fabricating the first electrode 21 on one side of the substrate 10 and before fabricating the second electrode 22, the process further includes fabricating a second insulating layer 32 that covers the first electrode 21 and the first insulating layer 31. The second insulating layer 32 covers the first electrode 21, which can separate the first electrode 21 from the subsequently fabricated conductive components (such as the second electrode 22), thereby achieving electrical isolation between the first electrode 21 and the subsequently fabricated conductive components and preventing leakage.
[0052] Optionally, the material of the second insulating layer 32 includes an insulating dielectric. The insulating dielectric is grown on the side of the first electrode 21 away from the substrate 10 and planarized to form the second insulating layer 32.

[0056] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second electrode 22 serves as the source electrode (or source pole).
[0057] In some optional embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, after fabricating the second electrode 22 and before fabricating the semiconductor layer 23 using a deposition process based on the first oxide source, the process further includes: like Figure 6 As shown, a third insulating layer 33 is fabricated to cover the second electrode 22 and the second insulating layer 32. The third insulating layer 33 covers the second electrode 22, which can separate the second electrode 22 from the conductive components (such as the gate 25) that are subsequently fabricated, thereby achieving electrical isolation between the second electrode 22 and the conductive components that are subsequently fabricated and preventing leakage.
[0058] Optionally, the material of the third insulating layer 33 includes an insulating dielectric. The insulating dielectric is grown on the side of the second electrode 22 away from the substrate 10 and planarized to form the third insulating layer 33.
[0059] Next, as Figure 7 As shown, a first through-hole 26 is formed, penetrating the third insulating layer 33, the second electrode 22, and the second insulating layer 32, and extending to the first electrode 21. The inner wall of the first through-hole 26 exposes the second electrode 22 and the first electrode 21, facilitating the subsequent fabrication of a semiconductor layer 23 that is electrically connected to the second electrode 22 and the first electrode 21, respectively.
[0060] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, a first through hole 26 can be formed by photolithography and etching processes. The first through hole 26 passes through the third insulating layer 33, the second electrode 22 and the second insulating layer 32, and stops on the first electrode 21.
[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 7 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the first through hole 26 does not penetrate the first electrode 21. The side of the first through hole 26 exposes the third insulating layer 33, the second electrode 22, the second insulating layer 32 and the first electrode 21, and the bottom of the first through hole 26 exposes the first electrode 21.
[0062] Of course, in some alternative embodiments of this application, the first through hole 26 may penetrate the first electrode 21 as needed. The side of the first through hole 26 exposes the third insulating layer 33, the second electrode 22, the second insulating layer 32 and the first electrode 21, and the bottom exposes the first insulating layer 31.
[0063] In some optional embodiments of this application, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a semiconductor layer 23 is fabricated using a deposition process based on a first oxide source, and a gate insulating layer 24 and a gate 25 are fabricated to obtain a transistor 20, comprising: like Figure 8 As shown, an initial semiconductor layer 231 is deposited using ozone with a first concentration or a first pulse time, or oxygen plasma with a first power, as the first oxidation source, to obtain an initial semiconductor layer 231 that conformally covers the first via 26 and the third insulating layer 33; the first concentration or the first pulse time is 5% to 80% of the concentration or pulse time of ozone in a conventional deposition process, and the first power is 5% to 80% of the power of oxygen plasma in a conventional deposition process.

[0068] Next, as Figure 8As shown, an initial gate insulating layer 241 and an initial gate 251, which conformally cover the initial semiconductor layer 231 and fill the first via 26, are sequentially deposited. The initial gate insulating layer 241 and / or the initial gate 251 are deposited using ozone with a second concentration or a second pulse time, or oxygen plasma with a second power, as the second oxidation source. The second concentration or the second pulse time is 100% to 300% of the concentration or pulse time of ozone in a conventional deposition process, and the second power is 100% to 300% of the power of oxygen plasma in a conventional deposition process.
[0069] In this embodiment, the initial gate insulating layer 241 conformally covers the initial semiconductor layer 231, and the initial gate 251 conformally covers the initial gate insulating layer 241 and fills the first via 26. The initial gate insulating layer 241 is located between the initial semiconductor layer 231 and the initial gate 251 and electrically isolates them.
[0070] In this embodiment, during the deposition of at least one of the initial gate insulating layer 241 and the initial gate 251, ozone with a second concentration of 100% to 300% (proportion) of the ozone concentration in the conventional deposition process or a second pulse time of 100% to 300% (proportion) of the ozone pulse time in the conventional deposition process is used as the second oxidation source, or oxygen plasma with a second power of 100% to 300% (proportion) of the oxygen plasma power in the conventional deposition process is used as the second oxidation source to grow at least one of the initial gate insulating layer 241 and the initial gate 251. This can enhance the oxidation effect of the second oxidation source on the semiconductor layer material, thereby ensuring sufficient oxygen content in the initial semiconductor layer 231 film and preventing degradation of properties such as sheet resistance of the initial semiconductor layer 231 film, and improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.
[0071] Optionally, the material of the initial gate insulating layer 241 includes, but is not limited to, high-k (dielectric constant) materials such as HfO2 (hafnium oxide), Al2O3 (aluminum oxide), HfAlO (hafnium aluminum oxide), and HfLaO (hafnium lanthanum oxide), where the dielectric constant of the high-k materials is greater than that of SiO (3.9). Optionally, the initial gate insulating layer 241 is grown by ALD (Alternating Current Deposition).
[0072] Optionally, the material of the initial gate 251 includes, but is not limited to, conductive materials such as IZO (indium zinc oxide), ITO, TiN, and W. Optionally, the initial gate 251 is grown by ALD growth.
[0073] Next, as Figure 9As shown, at least a portion of the initial semiconductor layer 231, at least a portion of the initial gate insulating layer 241, and at least a portion of the initial gate 251 located on the side of the third insulating layer 33 away from the substrate 10 are removed to obtain the semiconductor layer 23, the gate insulating layer 24, and the gate 25.
[0074] In this embodiment, the remaining unremoved initial semiconductor layer 231, initial gate insulating layer 241, and initial gate 251 serve as semiconductor layer 23, gate insulating layer 24, and gate 25, respectively, and the first electrode 21, second electrode 22, semiconductor layer 23, gate insulating layer 24, and gate 25 form transistor 20.
[0075] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, a semiconductor layer material, a gate dielectric material, and a gate material are sequentially grown according to the above deposition method to obtain an initial semiconductor layer 231, an initial gate insulating layer 241, and an initial gate 251; then, a gate pattern is formed by photolithography and etching processes to obtain a semiconductor layer 23, a gate insulating layer 24, and a gate 25, thereby forming a vertical channel metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor device.
[0076] In this embodiment, the semiconductor layer material uses low-concentration or unsaturated pulse time or subsaturated pulse time O3, or low-power O-plasma as a weak oxidation source (as the first oxidation source) for ALD growth. This can reduce the oxidation effect and degree of the first oxidation source on the source and drain electrode materials, thereby reducing the source and drain contact resistance. At the same time, at least one of the gate insulating material and the gate electrode material can use high-concentration or oversaturated pulse time O3, or high-power O-plasma as an excessive strong oxidation source (as the second oxidation source) for ALD growth. This can enhance the oxidation effect of the second oxidation source on the semiconductor layer material, thereby ensuring sufficient oxygen content in the semiconductor layer film and preventing degradation of properties such as sheet resistance of the semiconductor layer film, thereby improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.

[0146] Next, as Figure 34 As shown, an initial gate insulating layer 241 and an initial conductive structure 83 are sequentially deposited to cover the initial semiconductor layer 231 and fill the second via 63. The initial gate insulating layer 241 and / or the initial conductive structure 83 are deposited using ozone with a second concentration or a second pulse time, or oxygen plasma with a second power, as the second oxidation source. The second concentration or the second pulse time is 100% to 300% of the concentration or pulse time of ozone in a conventional deposition process, and the second power is 100% to 300% of the power of oxygen plasma in a conventional deposition process.
[0147] In this embodiment, the initial gate insulating layer 241 conformally covers the initial semiconductor layer 231, and the initial conductive structure 83 conformally covers the initial gate insulating layer 241 and fills the second via 63. The initial gate insulating layer 241 is located between the initial semiconductor layer 231 and the initial conductive structure 83 and electrically isolates them.
[0148] In this embodiment, during the deposition of at least one of the initial gate insulating layer 241 and the initial conductive structure 83, ozone with a second concentration of 100% to 300% (proportion) of the ozone concentration in a conventional deposition process or a second pulse time of 100% to 300% (proportion) of the ozone pulse time in a conventional deposition process is used as the second oxidation source, or oxygen plasma with a second power of 100% to 300% (proportion) of the oxygen plasma power in a conventional deposition process is used as the second oxidation source to grow at least one of the initial gate insulating layer 241 and the initial conductive structure 83. This can enhance the oxidation effect of the second oxidation source on the semiconductor layer material, thereby ensuring sufficient oxygen content in the initial semiconductor layer 231 film and preventing degradation of properties such as sheet resistance of the initial semiconductor layer 231 film, and improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.
[0149] Optionally, the material of the initial gate insulating layer 241 includes, but is not limited to, high-k materials such as HfO2, Al2O3, HfAlO, and HfLaO. Optionally, the initial gate insulating layer 241 is grown by ALD growth.
[0150] Optionally, the material of the initial gate 251 includes, but is not limited to, conductive materials such as IZO, ITO, TiN, and W. Optionally, the initial gate 251 is grown by ALD growth.
[0151] Next, as Figure 35 As shown, the initial conductive structure, initial gate insulating layer and initial semiconductor layer located on the side of the stacked structure 50 away from the substrate 10 are removed to obtain a conductive pillar 84 and a gate insulating layer 24 and a semiconductor layer 23 surrounding the conductive pillar 84; the semiconductor layer 23 includes a multilayer channel 232 that is electrically connected to the stacked multilayer first electrode 21 and multilayer second electrode 22 respectively, and the conductive pillar 84 includes a plurality of gates 25 that correspond one-to-one with the multilayer channel 232.
[0152] In this embodiment, the initial conductive structure, initial gate insulating layer and initial semiconductor layer located on the side of the stacked structure 50 away from the substrate 10 are removed, and the remaining initial conductive structure, initial gate insulating layer and initial semiconductor layer in the plurality of second vias 63 are separated. The remaining initial conductive structure, initial gate insulating layer and initial semiconductor layer in each second via 63 are respectively used as conductive pillar 84, gate insulating layer 24 and semiconductor layer 23.
[0153] In this embodiment, the semiconductor layer 23 extends along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10. The semiconductor layer 23 includes a multilayer channel 232 that is electrically connected to the stacked multilayer first electrode 21 and multilayer second electrode 22 respectively. The conductive pillar 84 includes a multilayer gate 25 that corresponds one-to-one with the multilayer channel 232. The gate insulating layer 24 is located between the channel 232 and the gate 25. The multilayer first electrode 21, multilayer second electrode 22, multilayer channel 232, gate insulating layer 24 and multilayer gate 25 form a stacked multilayer transistor 20.
[0154] In this embodiment, the conductive post 84 extends in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, serving as a word line (WL). A gate insulating layer 24 is wound around the conductive post 84, and a semiconductor layer is wound around the gate insulating layer 24. The multilayer transistors 20 stacked sequentially in the multilayer memory cell along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 share a single conductive post 84 (i.e., share a single word line).
[0155] Optionally, in this embodiment, a semiconductor layer material, a gate dielectric material, and a gate material are sequentially grown according to the above deposition method to obtain an initial semiconductor layer 231, an initial gate insulating layer 241, and an initial conductive structure 83; then, the initial conductive structure, the initial gate insulating layer, and the initial semiconductor layer located on the side of the stacked structure 50 away from the substrate 10 are removed to obtain a semiconductor layer 23, a gate insulating layer 24, and a gate 25, forming a vertical channel metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor device.
[0156] In this embodiment, the semiconductor layer material uses low-concentration or unsaturated pulse time or subsaturated pulse time O3, or low-power O-plasma as a weak oxidation source (as the first oxidation source) for ALD growth. This can reduce the oxidation effect and degree of the first oxidation source on the source and drain electrode materials, thereby reducing the source and drain contact resistance. At the same time, at least one of the gate insulating material and the gate electrode material can use high-concentration or oversaturated pulse time O3, or high-power O-plasma as an excessive strong oxidation source (as the second oxidation source) for ALD growth. This can enhance the oxidation effect of the second oxidation source on the semiconductor layer material, thereby ensuring sufficient oxygen content in the semiconductor layer film and preventing degradation of properties such as sheet resistance of the semiconductor layer film, thereby improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.
[0157] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the structure of each film layer of the semiconductor device can be patterned using a patterning process to fabricate the respective film layers.
[0158] It should be noted that the "patterning process" mentioned in the embodiments of this application includes processes such as depositing film layers, coating photoresist, mask exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping, which are mature fabrication processes in related technologies.

Deposition can employ known processes such as sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition; coating can employ known coating processes; and etching can employ known methods; no specific limitations are made here.
[0159] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be understood that a "layer" refers to a thin film made of a certain material on a substrate using a deposition or coating process. If the thin film does not require patterning during the entire fabrication process, the thin film can be called a layer. If the thin film requires patterning during the entire fabrication process, the "layer" after patterning includes at least one "pattern".
[0160] The semiconductor device manufacturing method provided in this application can be applied to the field of semiconductor device fabrication and can be used to manufacture metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor devices. Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a semiconductor device, the structural schematic of which is shown below. Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 35 As shown, the semiconductor device includes a transistor 20.
[0161] The transistor 20 includes: a first electrode 21 disposed on one side of the substrate 10, a second electrode 22 insulated from the first electrode 21, a semiconductor layer 23 electrically connected to the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 respectively, a gate insulating layer 24 and a gate 25, wherein the gate insulating layer 24 is disposed between the semiconductor layer 23 and the gate 25; the semiconductor layer 23 is fabricated using a deposition process based on a first oxide source, wherein at least one of the parameters of the concentration, pulse time and power of the first oxide source is less than the corresponding parameter values of conventional deposition processes.
[0162] In this embodiment, the substrate 10 is used to support the transistor 20. The transistor 20 includes a first electrode 21, a second electrode 22 insulated from the first electrode 21, a semiconductor layer 23 electrically connected to the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 respectively, a gate 25 for controlling the transistor 20 to be turned on or off, and a gate insulating layer 24 located between the semiconductor layer 23 and the gate 25. The semiconductor layer 23 and the gate 25 are electrically isolated by the gate insulating layer 24.
[0163] In this embodiment, the semiconductor layer 23 is fabricated using a deposition process with a first oxide source whose concentration, pulse time, and power values are lower than the corresponding parameter values of the oxide source in conventional deposition processes. Compared to the oxide source in conventional deposition processes, the first oxide source has a lower oxidation effect and degree on the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22. The thickness of the interface layer formed between the first electrode 21 and the semiconductor layer 23 and between the second electrode 22 and the semiconductor layer 23 is thinner, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the first electrode 21 and the semiconductor layer 23 and between the second electrode 22 and the semiconductor layer 23, and improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.
[0164] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the semiconductor layer material is deposited using ozone with a first concentration or a first pulse time, or oxygen plasma with a first power as the first oxidation source; the first concentration or the first pulse time is 5% to 80% of the concentration or pulse time of ozone in a conventional deposition process, and the first power is 5% to 80% of the power of oxygen plasma in a conventional deposition process.
[0165] In this embodiment of the application, during the deposition of semiconductor layer material, ozone with a first concentration of 5% to 80% (proportion) of the ozone concentration in the conventional deposition process or a first pulse time of 5% to 80% (proportion) of the ozone pulse time in the conventional deposition process is used as the first oxidation source, or oxygen plasma with a first power of 5% to 80% (proportion) of the oxygen plasma power in the conventional deposition process is used as the first oxidation source to grow semiconductor layer material. This can reduce the oxidation effect and degree of the first oxidation source on the source and drain electrode materials, thereby reducing the source and drain contact resistance and improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.
[0166] In some optional embodiments of this application, the gate insulating layer 24 and / or the gate 25 are fabricated using a deposition process based on a second oxide source; at least one of the parameters of the concentration, pulse time, and power of the second oxide source is greater than the corresponding parameter values of a conventional deposition process.

At least one of the gate insulating layer 24 and the gate 25 is fabricated using a deposition process with a second oxide source, where at least one of the parameters of concentration, pulse time, and power is greater than the corresponding parameter of the oxide source in a conventional deposition process. Compared to the oxide source in a conventional deposition process, the second oxide source enhances the oxidation effect on the semiconductor layer 23, thereby ensuring sufficient oxygen content in the semiconductor layer 23 and preventing degradation of properties such as sheet resistance of the semiconductor layer 23, thus improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.
[0168] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the gate insulating material and / or the gate material are deposited using ozone with a second concentration or a second pulse time, or oxygen plasma with a second power as the second oxidation source. The second concentration or the second pulse time is 100% to 300% of the concentration or pulse time of ozone in a conventional deposition process, and the second power is 100% to 300% of the power of oxygen plasma in a conventional deposition process.

This can enhance the oxidation effect of the second oxidation source on the semiconductor layer material, thereby ensuring sufficient oxygen content in the semiconductor layer 23 film and preventing degradation of properties such as sheet resistance of the semiconductor layer 23 film, and improving the on-state current and other performance of the device.
[0170] In some optional embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 35 As shown, the semiconductor layer 23 extends entirely in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 and is disposed around the periphery of the gate 25. The semiconductor layer 23 includes a vertical channel, and the transistor 20 is a vertical channel transistor.
[0171] In some optional embodiments of this application, such as Figure 35 As shown, the semiconductor device includes a multilayer memory cell array, multiple first conductive layers 81, and multiple conductive pillars 84. Each memory cell array includes multiple memory cells distributed in an array. Each memory cell includes a transistor 20. The transistors 20 of the multiple memory cells distributed sequentially along a second direction in each memory cell array share a first conductive layer 81. The transistors 20 of the multilayer memory cells distributed sequentially along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 in the multilayer memory cell array share a conductive pillar 84.
[0172] In this embodiment, a multilayer memory cell array is stacked along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10. Each layer of the memory cell array includes multiple memory cells arranged in an array, and each memory cell includes a transistor 20. A first conductive layer 81 serves as a bit line (BL). Multiple first conductive layers 81 are stacked along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 and each extends along a second direction. The transistors 20 of the multiple memory cells arranged sequentially along the second direction in each layer of the memory cell array share one first conductive layer 81. Conductive pillars 84 serve as word lines (WL). Multiple conductive pillars 84 are arranged in an array in a plane parallel to the substrate 10 and each extends along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10. The transistors 20 of the multilayer memory cells arranged sequentially along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 in the multilayer memory cell array share one conductive pillar 84. This reduces the number of traces (including word lines and bit lines), which is beneficial for layout design, improving structural density, and enhancing practicality.
