Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including a MBCFET (registered trademark) (Multi-Bridge Channel Field Effect Transistor).

Background Art

[0002] As one of the scaling technologies for increasing the density of semiconductor devices, a multi-gate transistor has been proposed in which a multi-channel active pattern (or silicon body) in the form of a fin or nanowire is formed on a substrate, and a gate is formed on the surface of the multi-channel active pattern. Since such a multi-gate transistor utilizes a three-dimensional channel, scaling can be easily performed. In addition, the current control ability can be improved without increasing the gate length of the multi-gate transistor. In addition, the SCE (short channel effect) in which the potential of the channel region is affected by the drain voltage can be effectively suppressed.

[0003] In addition, in order to realize more elements in the same area, research has been conducted on a semiconductor device using a stacked multi-gate transistor in which an upper multi-gate transistor is stacked on a lower multi-gate transistor, and improvement thereof has become an issue every day.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Next, specific examples of embodiments for carrying out the semiconductor device manufacturing method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] The embodiments will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show exemplary embodiments. The embodiments described herein are provided as examples only, and the present invention is not limited thereto and can be carried out in various other forms. Each embodiment described below is not excluded from other embodiments described herein or not described herein that are consistent with the present invention, or other embodiments associated with one or more features of other embodiments. In this specification, when an element or layer is described as being "on top of," "connected to," or "joined to" another element or layer, it means that the element or layer may be directly "on top of," "connected to," or "joined" to another element or layer, or an intermediate element or intermediate layer may be interposed. In contrast, if an element is described as being "directly on top of," "directly connected to," or "directly joined to" another element or layer, then there are no intermediate elements or layers. When expressions such as "at least one" are placed before an enumeration of elements, the modification applies to the entire enumeration, not to any individual element listed. For example, "at least one of a, b, and c" means a only, b only, c only, a and b, a and c, b and c, or all of a, b, and c. In this specification, ordinal numbers such as "1st," "2nd," etc., are used to describe various components regardless of their importance or order, and are not intended to limit those components, but rather to distinguish them from other components.

[0012] The drawings relating to a semiconductor device according to embodiments of the present invention show, as an example, a transistor including nanowires or nanosheets, MBCFET® (Multi-Bridge Channel Field Effect Transistor), but are not limited thereto. A semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a fin-type transistor (FinFET), a tunneling transistor (tunneling FET), or a vertical transistor (Vertical FET) having a channel region with a fin-shaped pattern. It goes without saying that the semiconductor device according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a planar transistor. Furthermore, the technical concept of the present invention can be applied to transistors based on two-dimensional materials (2D material-based FETs) and their heterostructures. Furthermore, the semiconductor device according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a bipolar junction transistor, a lateral double diffusion transistor (LDMOS), and the like.

[0013] A semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 is an exemplary layout diagram illustrating a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A' in Figure 1; Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B' in Figure 1; and Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C' in Figure 1.

[0014] Referring to Figures 1 to 4, the semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lower channel pattern BNS, an upper channel pattern UNS, a gate structure GS, lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2), upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2), an intermediate insulation pattern 115, a first front source / drain contact 170, a second front source / drain contact 180, a second back source / drain contact 80, and a back wiring line 50. In the following, the third direction DR3 is orthogonal to the first direction DR1 and the second direction DR2. The second direction DR2 is orthogonal to the first direction DR1. The first direction DR1 is referred to as the first horizontal direction, the second direction DR2 as the second horizontal direction, and the third direction DR3 as the vertical direction. The top, bottom, upper surface, lower surface, and bottom surface are defined relative to the third direction DR3.

[0015] The back interlayer insulating film 290 includes an upper surface and a bottom surface facing the third direction DR3. The back surface interlayer insulating film 290 may include, for example, at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbonitride, silicon oxynitride, and low dielectric constant material. The dielectric constant of low dielectric constant materials is smaller than the dielectric constant of silicon oxide, which is "3.9". The back surface interlayer insulating film 290 is shown as a single layer, but this is for explanatory purposes only and is not limited to this.

[0016] The insulating pattern 290P is positioned on the upper surface of the back interlayer insulating film 290. The insulating pattern 290P protrudes in a third direction DR3 from the upper surface of the back interlayer insulating film 290. The insulating pattern 290P is extended in the first direction DR1. The insulating pattern 290P may contain the same material as the back interlayer insulating film 290.

[0017] The field insulating film 105 is positioned on the upper surface of the back interlayer insulating film 290. The field insulating film 105 surrounds the sidewall of the insulating pattern 290P. For example, the upper surface of the insulating pattern 290P is formed higher than the upper surface of the field insulating film 105. In other words, at least a portion of the insulating pattern 290P protrudes in the third direction DR3 from the upper surface of the field insulating film 105. Another example is that the upper surface of the insulating pattern 290P may be formed substantially coplanar with the upper surface of the field insulating film 105. The field insulating film 105 may include, for example, an oxide film, a nitride film, an oxynitride film, or a combination thereof. For example, the field insulating film 105 may contain the same material as the back interlayer insulating film 290 and the insulating pattern 290P, and there may be no distinction of an interface between the field insulating film 105 and the back interlayer insulating film 290, there may be no distinction of an interface between the field insulating film 105 and the insulating pattern 290P, and there may be no distinction of an interface between the back interlayer insulating film 290 and the insulating pattern 290P.

[0018] The lower channel pattern BNS is placed on the back interlayer insulating film 290. For example, the lower channel pattern BNS is positioned on the upper surface of the back interlayer insulating film 290. Multiple lower channel patterns BNS are separated in the third direction DR3. Multiple lower channel patterns BNS separated in the third direction DR3 are separated in the first direction DR1. The diagram shows, but is not limited to, a configuration in which two lower channel patterns BNS are arranged on the upper surface of the back interlayer insulating film 290. In one embodiment, one or more lower channel patterns BNS may be arranged on the upper surface of the back interlayer insulating film 290.

[0019] The upper channel pattern UNS is positioned on the upper surface of the back interlayer insulating film 290. The upper channel pattern UNS is placed on top of the lower channel pattern BNS. The lower channel pattern BNS is positioned between the back interlayer insulating film 290 and the upper channel pattern UNS. The upper channel pattern UNS is separated from the lower channel pattern BNS and the third direction DR3. Multiple upper channel patterns UNS are separated in the third direction DR3. Multiple upper channel patterns UNS separated in the third direction DR3 are separated in the first direction DR1. The diagram shows, but is not limited to, an arrangement where two upper channel patterns UNS are positioned on the upper surface of the back interlayer insulating film 290. In one embodiment, one or more upper channel patterns UNS may be arranged on the upper surface of the back interlayer insulating film 290. Furthermore, the number of upper channel patterns UNS is shown to be the same as the number of lower channel patterns BNS, but this is not limited to this case.

[0020] The lower channel pattern BNS and the upper channel pattern UNS each have the form of a nanosheet or nanowire. The lower channel pattern BNS and the upper channel pattern UNS may each contain elemental semiconductor materials such as silicon or germanium. Furthermore, the lower channel pattern BNS and the upper channel pattern UNS may each contain a compound semiconductor, for example, a group IV-IV compound semiconductor or a group III-V compound semiconductor. Group IV-IV compound semiconductors may be, for example, binary compounds, ternary compounds, or compounds doped with Group IV elements, each containing at least two of the following elements: carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), and tin (Sn). III-V compound semiconductors can be, for example, binary, ternary, or quaternary compounds formed by bonding at least one of the group III elements, aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), and indium (In), with one of the group V elements, phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), and antimony (Sb). For example, the lower channel pattern BNS may contain the same substance as the upper channel pattern UNS. As another example, the lower channel pattern BNS may include the upper channel pattern UNS and other substances.

[0021] The intermediate insulation pattern 115 is positioned between the lower channel pattern BNS and the upper channel pattern UNS. The intermediate insulation pattern 115 is separated from the lower channel pattern BNS and the third direction DR3. The intermediate insulation pattern 115 is separated from the upper channel pattern UNS and the third direction DR3. The intermediate insulation pattern 115 contains an insulating material. For example, the intermediate insulating pattern 115 may include at least one of silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon boron carbonitride, silicon carbonitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, and combinations thereof.

[0022] Multiple gate structures GS are arranged on the back interlayer insulating film 290. For example, each gate structure GS is placed on the upper surface of the back interlayer insulating film 290. The gate structure GS is extended in the second direction DR2. The gate structure GS is positioned separated in the first direction DR1. The gate structures GS are adjacent to each other in the first direction DR1. The gate structure GS encloses the lower channel pattern BNS and the upper channel pattern UNS. For example, in a cross-sectional view obtained by cutting the gate structure GS in the second direction DR2, the gate structure GS surrounds the lower channel pattern BNS and the upper channel pattern UNS. The gate structure GS surrounds the intermediate insulation pattern 115. For example, the gate structure GS is in contact with the insulating pattern 290P. The gate structure GS is in contact with the upper surface of the insulating pattern 290P. The gate structure GS includes a gate electrode 120 and a gate insulating film 130.

[0023] The gate electrode 120 is placed on the back interlayer insulating film 290. The gate electrode 120 is extended in the second direction DR2. The gate electrode 120 surrounds the lower channel pattern BNS, the upper channel pattern UNS, and the intermediate insulating pattern 115. In other words, the lower channel pattern BNS, the upper channel pattern UNS, and the intermediate insulating pattern 115 penetrate the gate electrode 120. The gate electrode 120 is positioned between the adjacent lower channel pattern BNS and the adjacent upper channel pattern UNS. The gate electrode 120 is positioned between the lower channel pattern BNS and the insulating pattern 290P, between the lower channel pattern BNS and the intermediate insulating pattern 115, and between the upper channel pattern UNS and the intermediate insulating pattern 115. The gate electrode 120 surrounding the lower channel pattern BNS and the upper channel pattern UNS is shown as a single layer film, but is not limited to this. For example, the gate electrode 120 surrounding the lower channel pattern BNS is distinguished from the gate electrode 120 surrounding the upper channel pattern UNS.

[0024] The gate electrode 120 may include at least one of the following: metal, conductive metal nitride, metal silicide, doped semiconductor material, conductive metal oxide, and conductive metal oxynitride. The gate electrode 120 is made of, for example, titanium nitride (TiN), tantalum carbide (TaC), tantalum nitride (TaN), titanium silicon nitride (TiSiN), tantalum silicon nitride (TaSiN), tantalum titanium nitride (TaTiN), titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN), tantalum aluminum nitride (TaAlN), tungsten nitride (WN), ruthenium (Ru), titanium aluminum (TiAl), titanium aluminum carbonitride (TiAlCN), titanium aluminum carbide (TiAlC), titanium carbide (TiC), tantalum carbonitride (TaCN), and tungsten (W). This may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), nickel (Ni), platinum (Pt), nickel platinum (NiPt), niobium (Nb), niobium nitride (NbN), niobium carbide (NbC), molybdenum (Mo), molybdenum nitride (MoN), molybdenum carbide (MoC), tungsten carbide (WC), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), silver (Ag), gold (Au), zinc (Zn), vanadium (V), and combinations thereof. Conductive metal oxides and conductive metal oxynitrides may include, but are not limited to, oxidized forms of the above-mentioned substances.

[0025] The gate insulating film 130 is placed between the gate electrode 120 and the insulating pattern 290P. The gate insulating film 130 is placed between the gate electrode 120 and the field insulating film 105. The gate insulating film 130 extends along the upper surface of the field insulating film 105, and along the upper and side surfaces of the insulating pattern 290P that protrudes from the field insulating film 105 in a third direction DR3. The gate insulating film 130 is in contact with the field insulating film 105 and the insulating pattern 290P. The gate insulating film 130 is placed between the lower channel pattern BNS and the gate electrode 120, between the upper channel pattern UNS and the gate electrode 120, and between the intermediate insulating pattern 115 and the gate electrode 120. The gate insulating film 130 is positioned around the lower channel pattern BNS, around the upper channel pattern UNS, and around the intermediate insulating pattern 115. The gate electrode 120 is placed on the gate insulating film 130.

[0026] The gate insulating film 130 may contain at least one of silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, silicon nitride, or a high dielectric constant material with a dielectric constant greater than that of silicon oxide. High dielectric constant materials may include, for example, one or more of the following: boron nitride, hafnium oxide, hafnium silicon oxide, hafnium aluminum oxide, lanthanum oxide, lanthanum aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, zirconium silicon oxide, tantalum oxide, titanium oxide, barium strontium titanium oxide, barium titanium oxide, strontium titanium oxide, yttrium oxide, aluminum oxide, lead scandium tantalum oxide, or lead zinc niobate. The gate insulating film 130 is shown as a single layer, but is not limited to this.

[0027] One embodiment of the semiconductor device includes a Negative Capacitance (NC) FET that utilizes a negative capacitor. For example, the gate insulating film 130 includes a ferroelectric material film having ferroelectric properties and a paraelectric material film having paraelectric properties. Ferroelectric material films have negative capacitance, while paraelectric material films have positive capacitance. For example, if two or more capacitors are connected in series and each capacitor has a positive capacitance, the total capacitance will be less than the capacitance of each individual capacitor. On the other hand, if at least one of the capacitances of two or more capacitors connected in series is negative, the total capacitance is positive and greater than the absolute values ​​of each individual capacitance. When a ferroelectric material film with negative capacitance and a paraelectric material film with positive capacitance are connected in series, the overall capacitance value of the series-connected ferroelectric and paraelectric material films increases. By utilizing the increase in overall capacitance, transistors containing ferroelectric material films have a subthreshold swing (SS) of less than 60 mV / decade at room temperature.

[0028] Ferroelectric material films possess ferroelectric properties. The ferroelectric material film may include, for example, at least one of hafnium oxide, hafnium zirconium oxide, barium strontium titanium oxide, barium titanium oxide, and lead zirconium titanium oxide. Here, as an example, hafnium zirconium oxide is a substance in which hafnium oxide is doped with zirconium (Zr). Another example is hafnium zirconium oxide, a compound of hafnium (Hf), zirconium (Zr), and oxygen (O).

[0029] The ferroelectric material film further contains doped dopants. For example, a dopant may contain at least one of the following: aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), lanthanum (La), yttrium (Y), magnesium (Mg), silicon (Si), calcium (Ca), cerium (Ce), dysprosium (Dy), erbium (Er), gadolinium (Gd), germanium (Ge), scandium (Sc), strontium (Sr), and tin (Sn). The type of dopant contained in a ferroelectric material film varies depending on which ferroelectric material it contains.

[0030] When the ferroelectric material film contains hafnium oxide, the dopants contained in the ferroelectric material film may include at least one of the following: gadolinium (Gd), silicon (Si), zirconium (Zr), aluminum (Al), and yttrium (Y). When the dopant is aluminum (Al), the ferroelectric material film contains 3-8 at% (atomic %) of aluminum. Here, the dopant ratio is the ratio of aluminum to the total of hafnium and aluminum. When the dopant is silicon (Si), the ferroelectric material film contains 2 to 10 at% silicon. When the dopant is yttrium (Y), the ferroelectric material film contains 2 to 10 at% yttrium. When the dopant is gadolinium (Gd), the ferroelectric material film contains 1 to 7 at% gadolinium. When the dopant is zirconium (Zr), the ferroelectric material film contains 50-80 at% zirconium.

[0031] A paraelectric material film possesses the properties of a paraelectric material. The paraelectric material film may include, for example, at least one of silicon oxide and a metal oxide having a high dielectric constant. The metal oxide contained in the paraelectric material film may include, but is not limited to, at least one of hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide, and aluminum oxide.

[0032] Ferroelectric material films and paraelectric material films may contain the same material. A ferroelectric material film possesses ferroelectric properties, but a paraelectric material film does not necessarily have to possess ferroelectric properties. For example, if both the ferroelectric material film and the paraelectric material film contain hafnium oxide, the crystal structure of the hafnium oxide contained in the ferroelectric material film will differ from the crystal structure of the hafnium oxide contained in the paraelectric material film. A ferroelectric material film has a thickness that gives it ferroelectric properties. The thickness of the ferroelectric material film is, for example, 0.5 to 10 nm, but is not limited to this. Since the critical thickness at which each ferroelectric material exhibits ferroelectric properties can differ, the thickness of the ferroelectric material film varies depending on the ferroelectric material. As an example, the gate insulating film 130 may include a single ferroelectric material film. As another example, the gate insulating film 130 may include multiple ferroelectric material films spaced apart from each other. The gate insulating film 130 may have a multilayer film structure in which multiple ferroelectric material films and multiple paraelectric material films are alternately stacked.

[0033] The gate spacer 140 is placed on the upper surface of the back interlayer insulating film 290. The gate spacer 140 is positioned on the side wall of the gate electrode 120. The gate spacer 140 is not placed between the back interlayer insulating film 290 and the lower channel pattern BNS, nor between the lower channel pattern BNS adjacent to the third direction DR3. The gate spacer 140 is not placed between the intermediate insulating pattern 115 and the upper channel pattern UNS, nor between the upper channel pattern UNS adjacent to the third direction DR3. The gate spacer 140 is not placed between the intermediate insulating pattern 115 and the lower channel pattern BNS. The gate spacer 140 may include, for example, at least one of silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxycarbonite, silicon boron nitride, silicon oxyboronite, silicon oxycarbide, and combinations thereof. The gate spacers 140 are shown as single-layer films, but are not limited to this.

[0034] The gate capping pattern 145 is positioned on the upper surface of the gate electrode 120. The upper surface of the gate capping pattern 145 is coplanar with the upper surface of the upper interlayer insulating film 190U. In one embodiment, the gate capping pattern 145 is positioned between the gate spacers 140. The gate capping pattern 145 may include, for example, at least one of silicon nitride (SiN), silicon oxynitride (SiON), silicon carbonitride (SiCN), silicon oxycarbonitride (SiOCN), and combinations thereof. The gate capping pattern 145 contains a material having an etching selectivity ratio with respect to the upper interlayer insulating film 190U.

[0035] A semiconductor device according to one embodiment further includes a gate contact electrically connected to the gate electrode 120. For example, the gate contact extends in a third direction DR3 and penetrates the gate capping pattern 145 on the upper surface of the gate electrode 120. The gate contact makes contact with the upper surface of the gate electrode 120. Another example is a gate contact that extends in a third direction DR3 and penetrates the gate insulating film 130 on the underside of the gate electrode 120. The gate contact makes contact with the lower surface of the gate electrode 120. The gate contact may include, for example, at least one of metals, conductive metal nitrides, conductive metal carbides, conductive metal oxides, conductive metal carbonitrides, and two-dimensional materials.

[0036] The lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2) are located on the back interlayer insulating film 290.

Next, using the dummy gate electrode 32, dummy capping pattern 33, and spare gate spacer 140P as masks, a plurality of first recesses R1 are formed within the upper laminated structure (reference numeral 20 in Figures 11-13), the intermediate insulating pattern 115, and the lower laminated structure (reference numeral 10 in Figures 11-13). The first recess R1 is formed between adjacent dummy gate electrodes 32. The first recess R1 separates the second lower semiconductor layer 12, forming the lower channel pattern BNS, and the second upper semiconductor layer 22 separates, forming the upper channel pattern UNS. Next, a second recess R2 is formed below the first recess R1. The second recess R2 is formed within the fin pattern 110 (for example, by extending inward). For example, in the first direction DR1, the size of the second recess R2 is smaller than the size of the first recess R1, but this is not limited to this.

[0072] Referring to Figures 16 and 17, a sacrificial pattern 150PH is formed in the second recess (labeled R2 in Figures 14 and 15), and a lower source / drain pattern (150B1, 150B2), a lower source / drain etching stop film 185B, a lower front interlayer insulating film 190B, and an upper source / drain pattern (150U1, 150U2) are formed in the first recess (R1 in Figure 14). An upper source / drain etching stop film 185U and an upper front interlayer insulating film 190U are formed on the upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2). The lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2) include a first lower source / drain pattern 150B1 and a second lower source / drain pattern 150B2, which are formed within different first recesses (R1 in Figure 14). The upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2) include the first upper source / drain pattern 150U1 on the first lower source / drain pattern 150B1 and the second lower source / drain pattern 150B2 on the second lower source / drain pattern 150B2.

[0073] The sacrificial pattern 150PH is formed by an epitaxial growth process. The sacrificial pattern 150PH is grown, for example, from substrate 100 using a bottom-up method. The lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2) are formed on the sacrificial pattern 150PH. The lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2) are formed on the sidewalls of the lower channel pattern BNS and the sidewalls of the first lower semiconductor layer 11. The lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2) are in contact with the lower channel pattern BNS. For example, the lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2) are formed by an epitaxial growth process using at least one of the lower sacrificial pattern 150PH and the lower channel pattern BNS exposed by the first recess (R1 in Figure 14) as a seed layer. In one embodiment, the second recess R2 and the sacrificial pattern 150PH may not be formed.

[0074] The lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2) contain p-type dopants. For example, in the process of forming the lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2), the p-type dopant is injected in situ. Another example involves forming the lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2) and then injecting a p-type dopant into them. The lower source / drain etching stop film 185B is formed along the upper surface and lower source / drain pattern (150B1, 150B2) of the field insulating film 105. The lower front interlayer insulating film 190B is formed on the lower source / drain etching stop film 185B. The upper surface of the lower interlayer insulating film 190B is substantially coplanar with the upper surface of the intermediate insulating pattern 115, but is not limited to this.

[0075] The upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2) are formed on the lower front interlayer insulating film 190B. The lower front interlayer insulating film 190B is positioned between the upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2) and the lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2). The upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2) are formed on the sidewalls of the upper channel pattern UNS and the sidewalls of the first upper semiconductor layer 21. The upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2) are in contact with the upper channel pattern UNS. For example, the upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2) are formed by an epitaxial growth process using the upper channel pattern UNS, exposed by the first recess (indicated R1 in Figure 14), as a seed layer.

[0076] The upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2) contain n-type dopants. For example, in the process of forming the upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2), an n-type dopant is injected in situ. Another example involves forming an upper source / drain pattern (150U1, 150U2) and then injecting an n-type dopant into the upper source / drain pattern (150U1, 150U2). The upper source / drain etching stop film 185U is formed along the upper surface of the upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2) and the lower front interlayer insulating film 190B. The upper front interlayer insulating film 190U is formed on the upper source / drain etching stop film 185U. Next, a portion of the upper source / drain etching stop film 185U, a portion of the upper front interlayer insulating film 190U, and the dummy gate capping pattern (reference numeral 33 in Figure 14) are removed to expose the upper surface of the dummy gate electrode 32. The gate spacer 140 is formed while the upper surface of the dummy gate electrode 32 is exposed. The upper surface of the upper interlayer insulating film 190U is substantially coplanar with the upper surface of the dummy gate electrode 32, but is not limited to this.

[0077] Referring to Figures 18 and 19, the dummy gate insulating film (reference numeral 31 in Figure 16), the dummy gate electrode (reference numeral 32 in Figure 16), the first lower semiconductor layer (reference numeral 11 in Figure 16), and the first upper semiconductor layer (reference numeral 21 in Figure 16) are removed to form a gate trench GT.

[0078] Referring to Figures 20 and 21, the gate insulating film 130 and the gate electrode 120 are sequentially formed in the gate trench (indicated as GT in Figure 18). This forms a gate structure GS that surrounds the lower channel pattern BNS and the upper channel pattern UNS. Next, a gate capping pattern 145 is formed to cover the upper surface of the gate electrode 120.

[0079] Referring to Figure 22, a first contact hole 170H and a second contact hole 180H are formed. The first contact hole 170H and the second contact hole 180H expose different upper source / drain patterns (150U1, 150U2), respectively. The bottom surfaces of the first contact hole 170H and the second contact hole 180H are positioned below the top surface of the upper channel pattern UNS. The first contact hole 170H is extended in the third direction DR3. The first contact hole 170H extends into the upper interlayer insulating film 190U, the first upper source / drain pattern 150U1, the lower interlayer insulating film 190B, the lower source / drain etching stop film 185B, and the first lower source / drain pattern 150B1. The bottom surface of the first contact hole 170H is located within the first lower source / drain pattern 150B1. The first contact hole 170H penetrates the upper interlayer insulating film 190U, the upper source / drain etching stop film 185U, the first upper source / drain pattern 150U1, the lower interlayer insulating film 190B, the lower source / drain etching stop film 185B, and a portion of the first lower source / drain pattern 150B1. The first upper source / drain pattern 150U1 and the first lower source / drain pattern 150B1 are exposed through the first contact hole 170H.

[0080] The second contact hole 180H is extended in the third direction DR3. The second contact hole 180H extends into the upper interlayer insulating film 190U and the second upper source / drain pattern 150U2. The bottom surface of the second contact hole 180H is located within the second upper source / drain pattern 150U2. The second contact hole 180H penetrates the upper interlayer insulating film 190U, the upper source / drain etching stop film 185U, and a portion of the second upper source / drain pattern 150U2. The second upper source / drain pattern 150U2 is exposed through the second contact hole 180H.

[0081] Referring to Figures 23 and 24, a contact film 175 is formed in the first contact hole 170H and the second contact hole 180H. The contact film 175 covers the upper surface of the gate capping pattern 145. The contact film 175 is conformally formed along the first contact hole 170H and the second contact hole 180H. The contact film 175 fills at least a portion of the first contact hole 170H and the second contact hole 180H, respectively. The contact film 175 extends along the upper surface of the gate capping pattern 145. The contact film 175 contains a metallic substance that is conformally deposited. The contact film 175 may contain, for example, molybdenum, tungsten, and the like.

[0082] The contact film 175 within the first contact hole 170H contains at least one first seam 171S internally. The first seam 171S is formed by the process of forming the contact film 175. The first seam 171S has a third size W3 in the third direction DR3. The contact film 175 within the first contact hole 170H contains a plurality of first crystal grains G1. A first upper contact silicide film 155U is formed between the contact film 175 and the first upper source / drain pattern 150U1, a first lower contact silicide film 155B is formed between the contact film 175 and the first lower source / drain pattern 150B1, and a second upper contact silicide film 156U is formed between the contact film 175 and the second upper source / drain pattern 150U2.

[0083] Referring to Figures 25 and 26, an annealing process is performed on the contact film 175 within the first contact hole 170H. In one embodiment, the annealing process includes a hydrogen radical annealing process, such as a plasma annealing process in a hydrogen atmosphere. The hydrogen radical annealing process is carried out under conditions that provide a temperature of 400°C to 450°C, a time of 5 minutes to 30 minutes, and a power of 4.5kV to 7.5kV. The annealing process may also include low-temperature soak annealing, flash lamp annealing, laser annealing, spike annealing, and / or rapid thermal annealing.

[0084] In one embodiment, the first seam (reference numeral 171S in Figures 23 and 24) of the contact film 175 in the first contact hole 170H is removed by an annealing process. Furthermore, the annealing process causes the first crystal grain (indicated as G1 in Figure 24) of the contact film 175 within the first contact hole 170H to grow, forming the second crystal grain G2. The first crystal grain (G1 in Figure 24) merges to form the second crystal grain G2. The average size of the second crystal grain of the contact film 175 in the first contact hole 170H in Figure 26 is greater than the average size of the first crystal grain of the contact film 175 in the first contact hole 170H in Figure 24. For example, the average size of the first crystal grains represents the average of the maximum sizes of each first crystal grain G1 in Figure 24, and the average size of the second crystal grains represents the average of the maximum sizes of each second crystal grain G2 in Figure 26. The first crystal grain G1 in Figure 24 and the second crystal grain G2 in Figure 26 can be analyzed, for example, by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or PED (Precession electron diffraction) analysis.

[0085] Referring to Figure 27, a planarization process is performed on the contact film (175 in Figures 25 and 26) to form the first front source / drain contact 170 and the second front source / drain contact 180. The first front source / drain contact 170 fills the first contact hole 170H, and the second front source / drain contact 180 fills the second contact hole 180H. The contact film 175 filling the first contact hole 170H in Figures 25 and 26 is defined as the first front source / drain contact 170 in Figure 27, and the contact film 175 filling the second contact hole 180H in Figures 25 and 26 is defined as the second front source / drain contact 180 in Figure 27. Therefore, in one embodiment, the first front source / drain contact 170 does not contain internal seams due to the annealing process described with reference to Figures 25 and 26.

[0086] The average size of the second crystal grain of the first front source / drain contact 170 is the same as the average size of the second crystal grain of the contact film 175 in the first contact hole 170H in Figure 26. In other words, the average size of the second crystal grain of the first front source / drain contact 170 is greater than the average size of the first crystal grain of the contact film 175 in the first contact hole 170H in Figure 24. In one embodiment, the average size of the second crystal grains of the first front source / drain contact 170 may be larger than the average size of the crystal grains of the second front source / drain contact 180.

[0087] Referring to Figures 2 to 4, a front insulating film 191 and a front wiring structure 195 are formed on the gate capping pattern 145, the first front source / drain contact 170, and the second front source / drain contact 180, respectively. The front wiring structure 195 is connected to the first and second front source / drain contacts (170, 180). Remove the substrate (reference numeral 100 in Figure 27) and the fin pattern (reference numeral 110 in Figure 27). This exposes the gate structure GS, the lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2), and the sacrificial pattern 150PH. An insulating pattern 290P and a back surface interlayer insulating film 290 are formed on the gate structure GS, the lower source / drain patterns (150B1, 150B2), and the sacrificial pattern 150PH. A first back surface source / drain contact 70 is formed within the back surface interlayer insulating film 290 and the insulating pattern 290P.

[0088] The etching process exposes the sacrificial pattern (labeled 150PH in Figure 27) at the bottom of the second lower source / drain pattern 150B2. Remove the exposed second sacrificial pattern (labeled 150PH in Figure 27) to expose the second lower source / drain pattern 150B2. Next, a second back surface source / drain contact 80 is formed, which is connected to the second lower source / drain pattern 150B2. A first back surface insulating film 291 and a back surface connection contact 60 are formed on the back surface interlayer insulating film 290 and within the first back surface insulating film 291. The back-side connection contact 60 is connected to the second back-side source / drain contact 80. A second back insulating film 292 and a back connecting via 55 are formed on the first back insulating film 291 and the back connecting contact 60, respectively. The rear-side connection via 55 is connected to the rear-side connection contact 60. Next, a third back-surface insulating film 293 and a back-surface wiring line 50 are formed on the second back-surface insulating film 292 and the back-surface connecting via 55. The rear wiring line 50 is connected to the second rear source / drain contact 80.

[0089] Referring to Figures 9 to 27, if a seam is present inside the first front source / drain contact 170, the seam increases the resistance of the first front source / drain contact 170. Furthermore, the stress applied to the first front source / drain contact 170 and the adjacent upper channel pattern UNS is reduced, thereby decreasing the channel performance of the upper channel pattern UNS used as the channel region of the NMOS. However, the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an annealing step performed on the contact film 175 in the first contact hole 170H, for example, a hydrogen radical annealing step. The annealing process removes the first seam 171S, forming a first front source / drain contact 170 containing a relatively larger second crystal grain G2. Therefore, the resistance of the first front source / drain contact 170 can be improved and / or reduced, tensile stress can be applied to the upper channel pattern UNS, and the channel performance of the upper channel pattern UNS used as the channel region of the NMOS can be improved and / or enhanced. This makes it possible to provide semiconductor devices with improved and / or enhanced performance.

[0090] Figure 28 is a diagram illustrating a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention. For the sake of clarity, this explanation will focus on the differences from the explanation given using Figures 1 to 27. For reference, Figure 28 is an enlarged view of the X1 region in Figure 25.

[0091] Referring to Figures 25 and 28, an annealing process is performed on the contact film 175 within the first contact hole 170H. In one embodiment, the annealing process reduces the size of the first seam (reference numeral 171S in Figures 23 and 24) of the contact film 175 within the first contact hole 170H, and at least one first seam 170S is formed. The first size W1 of the first seam 170S in the third direction DR3 is smaller than the third size (W3 in Figure 23) of the first seam (reference numeral 171S in Figures 23 and 24) in the third direction DR3. If multiple first seams 170S are formed, the first seams 170S are separated, for example, in a third direction DR3. Furthermore, when multiple first seams 170S are formed, the first size W1 of each first seam 170S in the third direction DR3 is smaller than the third size (W3 in Figure 23) of the first seam (reference numeral 171S in Figures 23 and 24) in the third direction DR3.

[0092] Next, referring to Figure 5, a planarization process is performed on the contact film (175 in Figures 25 and 26) to form the first front source / drain contact 170 and the second front source / drain contact 180. The contact film 175 filling the first contact hole 170H in Figures 25 and 28 is defined as the first front source / drain contact 170 in Figure 5, and the contact film 175 filling the second contact hole 180H in Figure 25 is defined as the second front source / drain contact 180 in Figure 5. Therefore, in one embodiment, the first front source / drain contact 170 includes at least one first seam 170S internally.

[0093] The average size of the second crystal grain of the first front source / drain contact 170 is the same as the average size of the second crystal grain of the contact film 175 in the first contact hole 170H in Figure 28. In other words, the average size of the second crystal grain of the first front source / drain contact 170 is greater than the average size of the first crystal grain of the contact film 175 in the first contact hole 170H in Figure 24. Next, as explained using Figures 2 to 4 above, a front insulating film 191 and a front wiring structure 195 are formed, the substrate (reference numeral 100 in Figure 25) and fin pattern (reference numeral 110 in Figure 25) are removed, and an insulating pattern 290P, a back interlayer insulating film 290, a second back source / drain contact 80, a first back insulating film 291, a back connection contact 60, a second back insulating film 292, a back connection via 55, a third back insulating film 293, and a back wiring line 50 are formed.

[0094] Figure 29 is a diagram illustrating a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention. For the sake of explanation, this explanation will focus on the differences from what was explained using Figures 1 to 28. For reference, Figure 29 shows the manufacturing process that proceeds from Figure 22 onward.

[0095] Referring to Figure 29, a contact film 175 is formed in the first contact hole 170H and the second contact hole 180H. The contact film 175 conformally extends along the upper surface of the first contact hole 170H, the second contact hole 180H, and the gate capping pattern 145. In one embodiment, the contact film 175 within the second contact hole 180H includes at least one second seam 172S internally. The second seam 172S is formed during the process of forming the contact film 175. The second seam 172S has a third direction DR3 and a fourth size W4.

[0096] Next, referring to Figure 6, in one embodiment, an annealing process is performed on the contact film (reference numeral 175 in Figure 29) in the first contact hole (reference numeral 170H in Figure 29) and the contact film (reference numeral 175 in Figure 29) in the second contact hole (reference numeral 180H in Figure 29). Next, a planarization process is performed on the contact film (175 in Figure 29) to form the first front source / drain contact 170 and the second front source / drain contact 180. The contact film 175 filling the first contact hole H1 in Figure 29 is defined as the first front source / drain contact 170 in Figure 6, and the contact film 175 filling the second contact hole 170H in Figure 29 is defined as the second front source / drain contact 180 in Figure 6.

[0097] The above annealing process reduces the size of the second seam (reference numeral 172S in Figure 29) of the contact film (reference numeral 175 in Figure 29) within the second contact hole (reference numeral 180H in Figure 29), and at least one second seam 180S is formed. The second size W2 of the second seam 180S in the third direction DR3 is smaller than the fourth size (indicated as W4 in Figure 29) of the second seam (indicated as 172S in Figure 29) in the third direction DR3. If multiple second seams 180S are formed, the second seams 180S are separated, for example, in a third direction DR3. Furthermore, when multiple second seams 180S are formed, the second size W2 of each second seam 180S in the third direction DR3 is smaller than the fourth size (W4 in Figure 29) of the second seam (172S in Figure 29) in the third direction DR3.

[0098] Furthermore, the annealing process described above causes the first crystal grains of the contact film (reference numeral 175 in Figure 29) within the second contact hole (reference numeral 180H in Figure 29) to grow, forming the second crystal grains. The average size of the second crystal grain of the second front source / drain contact 180 in Figure 6 is greater than the average size of the first crystal grain of the contact film 175 in the second contact hole 180H in Figure 29. For example, the average size of the first crystal grains refers to the average of the maximum sizes of each first crystal grain in the contact film 175 within the second contact hole 180H in Figure 29, and the average size of the second crystal grains refers to the average of the maximum sizes of each second crystal grain in the second front source / drain contact 180 in Figure 6. Next, as explained using Figures 2 to 4 above, a front insulating film 191 and a front wiring structure 195 are formed, the substrate (reference numeral 100 in Figure 29) and fin pattern (reference numeral 110 in Figure 29) are removed, and an insulating pattern 290P, a back interlayer insulating film 290, a second back source / drain contact 80, a first back insulating film 291, a back connection contact 60, a second back insulating film 292, a back connection via 55, a third back insulating film 293, and a back wiring line 50 are formed.

[0099] Figure 30 is an exemplary layout diagram illustrating a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 31 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line D-D' in Figure 30, and Figure 32 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line E-E' in Figure 30. For the sake of clarity, this explanation will focus on the differences from what was explained using Figures 1 to 8.

[0100] Referring to Figures 30 to 32, the semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first region I and a second region II. The first region I and the second region II may be adjacent to each other, or they may be separated from each other. Domain 1 I and Domain 2 II may be domains that perform the same function, or they may be domains that perform different functions. In one embodiment, the first front source / drain contact 170 located in the first region I does not contain a seam internally, and the first front source / drain contact 170 located in the second region II includes at least one first seam 170S internally. In the first region I, the stress applied to the upper channel pattern UNS adjacent to the first front source / drain contact 170 is different from the stress applied to the upper channel pattern UNS adjacent to the first front source / drain contact 170 in the second region II.

[0101] For example, in the first region I, the stress applied to the upper channel pattern UNS adjacent to the first front source / drain contact 170 is greater than the stress applied to the upper channel pattern UNS adjacent to the first front source / drain contact 170 in the second region II. In the first region I, the upper channel pattern UNS adjacent to the first front source / drain contact 170 and in the second region II, the upper channel pattern UNS adjacent to the first front source / drain contact 170 differ from each other in at least one of the grid plane spacing (d-spacing) (i.e., pitch) and deformation rate. The grid plane spacing and deformation rate are analyzed using GPA (Geometric Phase Analysis). The average size of the crystal grains of the first front source / drain contact 170 located in the first region I and the first front source / drain contact 170 located in the second region II may be the same or different from each other.

[0102] In one embodiment, the first front source / drain contact 170 located in the first region I and the first front source / drain contact 170 located in the second region II do not contain any seams inside. In one embodiment, the first front source / drain contact 170 located in the first region I and the first front source / drain contact 170 located in the second region II each include at least one first seam 170S internally. In this case, the arrangement, number, size, etc., of the first seams 170S included in the first front source / drain contact 170 located in the first region I and the first front source / drain contact 170 located in the second region II may be the same or different.

[0103] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. It can be modified and implemented in various ways without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. [Explanation of Symbols]
