Figure 1 In one embodiment, the insulating layer 120 is formed by, for example, at least one of physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, etc., on the substrate 100, as shown.
[0044] Further, the semiconductor device in the first embodiment of the present application further includes a plurality of bit lines arranged to be separated from each other, which can be specifically divided into first bit lines BL1 having a first width and second bit lines BL2 having a second width based on the width thereof in the direction parallel to the surface of the substrate 100, wherein the first width is different from the second width, for example, the first width is smaller than the second width, and the second bit lines BL2 are arranged outside all of the first bit lines BL1, for example, as shown. Figures 8 to 11 but not limited thereto. Some of the bit lines are further provided with bit line plugs extending into the substrate 100, such as a first bit line plug 131a located below the first bit line BL1 and directly contacting the bottom of the first bit line BL1, and a second bit line plug 131b located below the second bit line BL2 and directly contacting the top of the second bit line BL2.
[0045] In one embodiment, the bit line plugs (including the first bit line plug 131a and the second bit line plug 131b) are formed by, for example, etching a plurality of grooves in the insulating layer 120 and the substrate 100, such as a plurality of first grooves 101 (same position as the first bit line plug 131a) and a second groove 102 (same position as the second bit line plug 131b), as shown. Figure 2 or Figure 3As shown, then a semiconductor layer 131 (bottom layer material layer of the bit line material layer 130) is formed on the insulating layer 120, and the semiconductor layer 131 fills the recesses and extends laterally to cover the insulating layer 120 between adjacent recesses, and then a blocking layer 132, a metal layer 133 and a cap layer 134 are sequentially formed from bottom to top, thereby forming the bit line material layer 130, and then at least one of etching processes such as wet etching or dry etching is used to etch the bit line material layer 130, so as to form the second bit line BL2 and the plurality of first bit lines BL1 arranged in sequence in the horizontal direction from left to right on the substrate 100, and the semiconductor layer 131 filled in the first recess 101 is defined as the first bit line plug 131a, and the semiconductor layer 131 filled in the second recess 102 is defined as the second bit line plug 131b, as shown. Figure 4 or Figure 5 As shown. The material of the semiconductor layer 131 can include crystalline silicon, polysilicon, amorphous silicon, doped silicon, silicon germanium (SiGe), or other suitable semiconductor materials, but is not limited thereto. The material of the blocking layer 132 can include metal, metal silicide or metal nitride, such as titanium (Ti), titanium nitride (TiN), tungsten silicide (WSi), cobalt silicide (CoSi), tungsten nitride (WN), but is not limited thereto. The material of the metal layer 133 can include tungsten (W), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), or compounds, alloys and / or composite layers of the aforementioned metal materials, but is not limited thereto. The material of the cap layer 134 can include dielectric materials, such as silicon oxide (SiO2), silicon nitride (SiN), silicon oxynitride (SiON), silicon carbon nitride (SiCN), or combinations of the above materials, but is not limited thereto. For example, the material of the semiconductor layer 131 is polysilicon, the material of the blocking layer 132 is titanium nitride (TiN), the material of the metal layer 133 is tungsten (W), and the material of the cap layer 134 is silicon nitride (SiN).
[0046] It should be particularly pointed out that the bottom surfaces (also referred to as bottoms) of the first recess 101 and the second recess 102 in the first embodiment of the utility model can be flush, for example Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface of the first recess 101 is at the same horizontal level as the bottom surface of the second recess 102 in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 100 (hereinafter referred to as the vertical direction); or the bottom surfaces of the first recess 101 and the second recess 102 can also not be flush, for example Figure 3The bottom surface of the first groove 101 is higher than the bottom surface of the second groove 102 in the vertical direction, so that the bottom surfaces of the two have a height difference H1 in the vertical direction, where H1>0. In this arrangement, the bottom surfaces of the first bit line plug 131a and the second bit line plug 131b in the first embodiment of the present application can also be flush or not flush in the vertical direction, for example Figure 4 The bottom surfaces of the first bit line plug 131a and the second bit line plug 131b are flush, or for example Figure 5 The bottom surface of the first bit line plug 131a is higher than the bottom surface of the second bit line plug 131b in the vertical direction, that is, there is also a height difference H1 between the bottom surfaces of the first bit line plug 131a and the second bit line plug 131b.
[0047] Also, the widths of the first groove 101 and the second groove 102 in the horizontal direction in the first embodiment of the present application can be the same (for example Figure 14 or Figure 15 different (for example Figures 2 to 15 ), where the width of the second groove 102 in the horizontal direction should not be greater than the width of the second bit line BL2 in the horizontal direction directly contacting the top surface thereof, so that the two side walls of the second bit line plug 131b are located between the two side walls of the second bit line BL2 above it in the horizontal direction. Because the subsequent protective spacer wall structure 140 formed on the two side walls of the first bit line BL1 will also be filled in the first groove 101 below it, while the subsequent spacer wall structure 140 formed on the two side walls of the second bit line BL1 will not, so that the width of the first bit line plug 131a in the horizontal direction is less than the width of the first groove 101 in the horizontal direction, and the width of the second bit line plug 131b in the horizontal direction is the same as the width of the second groove 102 in the horizontal direction.
[0048] It should be understood that the width of the first bit line plug 131a or the second bit line plug 131b or the first groove 101 or the second groove 102 in the horizontal direction can also be the average width in the horizontal direction, but is not limited thereto.
[0049] Further, the semiconductor device in the first embodiment of the utility model still includes multiple spacer structures 140. Among them, the spacer structure 140 is arranged on the two side walls of each first bit line BL1 and at least one side wall of the second bit line BL2. Specifically, the spacer structure 140 can be a single-layer structure, such as an oxide layer (material such as silicon dioxide) or a nitride layer (material such as silicon nitride), and can also be a composite structure, such as including a first spacer layer 141, a second spacer layer 142 and a third spacer layer 143 arranged in sequence along the horizontal direction. Among them, the first spacer layer 141 is in direct contact with the side wall of the first bit line BL1 or the second bit line BL2.
[0050] It needs to be specially pointed out that, in the first embodiment of the utility model, as shown in the figure, Figures 8 to 11 The shape of the spacer structure 140 formed on the two side walls of the first bit line BL1 and the two side walls of the second bit line BL2 is the same, for example, Figure 6 As shown in the figure. And in other embodiments, the spacer structure on at least one side wall of the second bit line BL2 can be different from the shape of the spacer structure 140 on the other side wall and the two side walls of the other first bit line BL1, for example, Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the spacer structures on the two side walls of the second bit line BL2 are different. In order to distinguish, the spacer structure on the side wall of the second bit line BL2 away from the rest of the first bit line BL1 is marked with reference numeral 140b, and the spacer structure on the side wall adjacent to the rest of the first bit line BL1 is marked with reference numeral 140a.
[0051] In an embodiment, the spacer structure 140a is formed, for example, by sequentially forming a co-typed covering first spacer layer 141 (material such as silicon oxide), a second spacer layer 142 (material such as silicon nitride) and a third spacer layer 143 (material such as silicon oxide) on the inner surface of the gap between adjacent bit lines (including all first bit lines BL1 and second bit lines BL2), and then etching to remove the first spacer layer 141, the second spacer layer 142 and the third spacer layer 143 on the bottom of the gap between adjacent bit lines, and exposing the top surface of the insulating layer 120 at the bottom of the gap between adjacent spacer structures 140a. And in another embodiment, the spacer structure 140b is formed, for example, after forming the bit line material layer 130 of the multiple bit lines as shown in the figure, Figure 4 Or Figure 5 After forming the bit line material layer 130 of the multiple bit lines as shown in the figure, Figure 4 Or Figure 5The photoresist layer (not shown) of the left part of the bit line material layer 130 is shown, and then the bit line material layer 130 not covered by the photoresist layer is removed to form the bit line BL2 as shown. Figure 4 Or Figure 5 The bit line material layer 130 and the insulating layer 120 below it to the left of the second bit line BL2 are shown, and then a deposition process is used to form the bit line BL2 as shown in the left part of the second bit line BL2. Figure 7 The spacer wall structure 140b containing three layers of spacer walls is shown, and the three layers of spacer walls contained in the spacer wall structure 140b are arranged in a vertical direction in sequence, but are not limited to this.
[0052] Further, the semiconductor device in the first embodiment of the present application further includes a plurality of contact structures 150, which are located between adjacent bit lines, such as between the adjacent first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL2, and between any two adjacent first bit lines BL1. In detail, the contact structure 150 can include a first part (not shown) located in the substrate 100 and a second part (not shown) located on the substrate 100 and between the adjacent first bit line BL1 and the second bit line BL2.
[0053] In an embodiment, the formation of the contact structure 150 can use an etching process such as a dry etching process to etch and remove a portion of the height of the substrate 100 between adjacent bit lines to form a plurality of trenches (not shown), and then fill the trenches and the gap between adjacent bit lines with a conductive material such as titanium and / or titanium nitride (TiN), tantalum (Ta) and / or tantalum oxide (TaN), etc., until the top surface of the filled conductive material is flush with the top surface of the bit lines on both sides; and the contact structure 150 can be a single-layer structure with conductive material, or can have a multi-layer structure such as a composite structure of conductive material on both sides, or the contact structure 150 can be a stacked structure with conductive material and insulating material stacked from bottom to top, but is not limited to this.
[0054] It should be noted that the first part and the second part of the contact structure 150 shown in the first embodiment of the present application have the same width in the horizontal direction, that is, the first part of the contact structure 150 (the part located in the substrate 100) does not have an extension part extending towards the second bit line BL2. However, the bottom (also referred to as the bottom surface) of the contact structure 150 shown in the first embodiment of the present application (which is also the bottom of the first part of the contact structure 150) has various combinations of contact with the active region ACT and the shallow trench isolation region 110, and in order to facilitate differentiation, the contact structure in various different cases of direct contact with the active region ACT and the shallow trench isolation region 110 in the embodiments of the present application is respectively identified by a first contact structure, a second contact structure, a third contact structure, and different reference numerals. For example, as shown in Figure 8 , in an embodiment, the first contact structure whose bottom directly contacts the active region ACT and the shallow trench isolation region 110 is identified by reference numeral 151; for example, as shown in Figure 9 , in another embodiment, the second contact structure whose bottom only directly contacts the active region ACT is identified by reference numeral 152; for example, as shown in Figure 10 , in other embodiments, the third contact structure whose bottom only directly contacts the shallow trench isolation region 110 is identified by reference numeral 153, but is not limited thereto.
[0055] It should be understood that in the first embodiment of the present application, Figures 8 to 10 only shows the case where one side of the second bit line BL2 is provided with the contact structure 150, and in other embodiments, both sides of the second bit line BL2 can be provided with the contact structure 150, that is, the structure shown in Figure 11 , and other parts and / or components are the same as the structure shown in Figures 8 to 10 , but are not limited thereto.
[0056] Those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs should easily understand that, under the premise of being able to meet the actual product requirements, the semiconductor device of the present application can also have other forms and is not limited to the foregoing. In the following, other embodiments or variations of the semiconductor device of the present application will be further described. In order to simplify the description, the following description mainly details the differences between the embodiments, and the same parts are not repeated. In addition, the same components in the embodiments of the present application are identified by the same reference numerals for the purpose of mutual comparison between the embodiments.
[0057] Please refer to Figures 12 to 15 , which is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor device in the second embodiment of the present application, wherein Figure 12This is a schematic diagram showing an extension of the first part of a contact structure in a semiconductor device in direct contact with a second bit line plug. Figure 13 This is another schematic diagram showing the extension of the first part of the contact structure in a semiconductor device directly contacting the second bit line plug. Figure 14 Another schematic diagram showing the extension of the first part of the contact structure in a semiconductor device in direct contact with the second bit line plug. Figure 15 This is another schematic diagram showing the extension of the first part of the contact structure in a semiconductor device directly contacting the second bit line plug. For example... Figures 12 to 15 As shown, the structure of the semiconductor device in this embodiment is largely the same as that of the semiconductor device in the first embodiment described above. For example, the semiconductor device also includes multiple bit lines. The multiple bit lines include a second bit line BL2 and multiple first bit lines BL1 arranged sequentially from left to right in the horizontal direction and having different widths in the horizontal direction. Bit line plugs extending into the substrate 100 are also provided below some of the bit lines. For example, a first bit plug 131a located below the first bit line BL1 and in direct contact with the bottom of the first bit line BL1, and a bit line plug 131a located below the second bit line BL2. The second bit line plug 131b directly contacts the bottom of the second bit line BL2. The bottom (or bottom surface) of the first bit line plug 131a and the bottom (or bottom surface) of the second bit line plug 131b can be flush or at different horizontal heights. The width of the first bit line plug 131a in the horizontal direction is smaller than the width of the first groove 101 in the horizontal direction, and the width of the second bit line plug 131b in the horizontal direction is equal to the width of the second groove 102 in the horizontal direction, etc. Similarities will not be repeated here. The main difference between the semiconductor device of this embodiment and the aforementioned first embodiment is that the first portion of the contact structure 150 extends towards the second bit line plug 131b, and this extension extends horizontally until it directly contacts the adjacent second bit line plug 131b. Figures 12 to 15 The position outlined in the black dashed box is the first part extending towards the second position line plug 131b. For ease of distinction, this utility model refers to the part formed by the extension of the first part of the contact structure 150 towards the second position line plug 131b as the extension part.
[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 12As shown, the entire sidewall of the first portion of the contact structure 150 extending towards the second bit line plug 131b is in direct contact with the second bit line plug 131b, and the top surface of the extended portion of the first portion of the contact structure 150 extending towards the second bit line plug 131b is in direct contact with the bottom of the spacer structure 140a between the contact structure and the second bit line BL2, but not limited thereto. Also, based on the various settings of the width of the second recess 102 in the horizontal direction in the first embodiment, the width of the second bit line plug 131b filled in the second recess 102 in the horizontal direction in the present embodiment also has the various cases in the first embodiment, Figure 12 Only the case where the two sidewalls of the second bit line plug 131b are respectively aligned with the two sidewalls of the second bit line BL2 in direct contact with the top surface of the second bit line plug 131b in the vertical direction is shown, but not limited thereto. In this setting, the overall width of the first portion of the contact structure 150 in the horizontal direction in the present embodiment is greater than the width of the second portion contained therein in the horizontal direction.
