Description
Semiconductor device and method for manufacturing the same Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a semiconductor device and a method for preparing the same. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous scaling of transistor feature sizes, traditional MOSFET devices have undergone a transition from planar to three-dimensional structures, improving device performance while mitigating the impact of short-channel effects. Currently, research progress in GAA stacked nanosheet FETs has garnered widespread attention from both academia and industry. Continuously updated fabrication processes and key techniques, along with optimized device structures, are a hot research area for new CMOS devices, considered the mainstream device beyond the 3nm node.
[0003] The GAA stacked nanosheet FET, a novel device developed from FinFET and Nanowire-FET, features a gate-all-around structure and a horizontal nanosheet (NS) as the conductive channel. In terms of gate control, the gate-all-around structure offers superior gate control capabilities compared to FinFET devices, effectively suppressing the short-channel effect. In terms of current drive, the Nanosheet-GAAFET, with its adjustable gate and vertical and horizontal stacking design, significantly enhances the device's current drive performance.
[0004] In conventional CMOS integration processes for stacked nanosheet GAA-FETs, heavy doping with a type opposite to the source and drain doping of the device is typically required on the silicon substrate (or well region) to weaken or prevent leakage from the parasitic substrate channel between the source and drain. However, this parasitic substrate channel (parasitic FinFET) degrades GAA device characteristics, leading to gate failure under the short channel. The heavily doped substrate forms a bilateral heavily doped PN junction between the source and drain regions, increasing reverse junction leakage in the source and drain regions and the overall leakage current of the device.
[0005] Based on this, the present invention proposes a new method for preparing a semiconductor device. The method has a simple process and is compatible with the existing GAA process. It mainly forms an insulating dielectric isolation at the bottom of the source and drain regions and the bottom of the channel through an integrated process to eliminate the substrate parasitic channel and channel leakage between the source and drain.

[0069] S6, epitaxially growing source and drain regions 12 on the surface of the insulating dielectric layer 10, and doping the source and drain regions 12 at the same time;
[0070] S7, depositing an interlayer dielectric in the source / drain region 12, and performing chemical mechanical polishing on the interlayer dielectric until the dummy gate layer 6 is exposed;
[0071] S8, etching and removing the dummy gate layer 6;
[0072] S9, etching and removing the sacrificial layer 2 to release the channel layer 3 to form a nanosheet channel;
[0073] S10, depositing a high-K metal gate 14 to form a metal gate 14 surrounding the nanosheet channel;
[0074] S11 , continue depositing interlayer dielectric to form contact holes contacting the source / drain region 12 and the metal gate 14 , etch the contact holes, and deposit silicon compounds to form a first conductive channel 15 and a second conductive channel 16 .
[0075] The preparation method is described in more detail below:
[0076] In step S1, as shown in FIG1 , a sacrificial layer 2 and a channel layer 3 are first grown in sequence on a substrate 1 by epitaxy, wherein the substrate 1 is generally a silicon substrate 1, the sacrificial layer 2 is generally SiGe, and the channel layer 3 is generally Si. The sacrificial layer 2 and the channel layer 3 are a superlattice structure. The Si layer determines the number of subsequent nanowires. The Si layer is ≥1, and each layer is less than 30 nm. The final thickness directly determines the height of the nanosheet channel and the electrical properties.
[0077] Based on the above, as shown in Figure 2, the sacrificial layer 2 and the channel layer 3 are further formed into a plurality of periodically distributed fins. Specifically, a hard mask layer 4 is deposited above the topmost channel layer 3. After patterning, the epitaxially grown superlattice stack is etched to form a plurality of periodically distributed fins. The fins have a height of 10nm-400nm and a width of 1-100nm. The etching stops at or below the substrate 1.
[0078] Based on the above, as shown in Figure 3, a shallow trench isolation (STI) region 5 is formed between two adjacent fins. Specifically, an insulating dielectric material is first deposited and planarized to expose the hard mask layer 4. The hard mask layer 4 is then removed by wet or dry etching. The insulating dielectric material is then selectively etched back to expose the three-dimensional fin structure, forming a shallow trench isolation region 5 between adjacent fins. The upper surface of the shallow trench isolation region 5 is generally flush with the interface between the superlattice stack structure in the fin and the single crystal silicon substrate 1, but can also be above or below the interface level.
[0079] In step S2, as shown in Figures 4-5, a dummy gate layer 6 is formed on the exposed fin surface. Specifically, an oxide layer and polysilicon (or amorphous silicon) are sequentially deposited above the shallow trench isolation region 5, and CMP is performed. Then, a dummy gate hard mask layer is deposited. Then, as shown in Figure 6, a dummy gate across the fin is formed through photolithography and etching patterning processes. After etching, the hard mask layer above the dummy gate is retained.
[0080] The material of the dummy gate hard mask layer may be oxide, carbide, organic matter, etc.
[0081] In step S3, as shown in Figures 7-8, a first spacer dielectric is deposited on both sides of the dummy gate layer 6, and then the spacer dielectric in the horizontal direction is etched, leaving only the dielectric on the side walls of the dummy gate and the dummy gate hard mask layer to form a first spacer 7; then, based on Figure 8, with reference to Figure 9, the dummy gate hard mask layer 4 and the first spacer 7 are used as masks, and the fin is etched for source and drain through an etching process to form source and drain regions 12 for preparing source and drain electrodes on both sides of the first spacer 7, and the edge portion of the sacrificial layer 2 is etched away in the center direction of the source and drain region 12 to form an embedded groove; further, based on Figure 9, with reference to Figure 10, a second spacer dielectric is deposited so that the second spacer dielectric covers the entire surface and fills the embedded groove to form a second spacer 8; finally, based on Figure 10, with reference to Figure 11, anisotropic etching is used to remove the horizontal portion of the second spacer dielectric.
[0082] The materials of the first and second spacer dielectrics can be silicon nitride, doped silicon oxide, doped silicon carbide, etc. During etching, the sacrificial layer 2 and the channel layer 3 have a large etching selectivity, so the integrity of the channel layer 3 can be guaranteed.
[0083] In step S4, as shown in Figures 12-16, first, the dummy gate layer 6 hard mask and the first sidewall 7 are used as masks, and the source and drain etching of the fin is performed through the etching process, and the bottom of the channel is penetrated by isotropic etching. The etching depth can be slightly higher and lower than the bottom of the STI etching to ensure that the aspect ratio h / a of the groove 9 formed after the source and drain etching is greater than 1; then, referring to Figure 17, an insulating dielectric material is filled into the channel by a deposition method with good conformality such as atomic layer deposition or CVD, and the insulating dielectric material covers the entire surface to form an insulating dielectric layer 10. Specifically, the thickness b of the deposited film is greater than 0.5a to ensure that the source and drain channels are completely filled.
[0084] The deposited insulating dielectric material can be SiO2 or a low-dielectric dielectric material, and the material can be the same as or different from the material of the shallow trench isolation region 5.
[0085] In step S5, as shown in FIG18 , the filled insulating dielectric layer 10 is isotropically etched to retain a portion of the underlying insulating dielectric layer 10 ; then, referring to FIG19 , the second sidewall 8 is isotropically etched to remove the portion of the second sidewall dielectric located in the vertical direction to form an inner sidewall 11 .
[0086] In step S6, referring to FIG20, the source and drain regions 12 are epitaxially grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, liquid phase epitaxy, vapor phase epitaxy, selective epitaxial growth or similar methods or a combination of the foregoing, and the source and drain regions 12 are doped at the same time. For P-type FETs, the material of the source and drain regions 12 is boron-doped SiGe (SiGe:B), and for N-type FETs, the material of the source and drain regions 12 is phosphorus-doped silicon (Si:P).
[0087] As can be seen from the above-described preparation method, the inner sidewall 11 of the present invention is formed through two etches: the first is anisotropic etching to remove the sidewall film in the horizontal source and drain regions 12, and the second is isotropic etching to form the inner sidewall 11. Between the two etches of the inner sidewall 11, the present invention increases the etching of the silicon in the source and drain regions 12 to form a trench 9 through which the source and drain penetrate. This trench 9 is then filled with a highly conformal insulating dielectric film to completely isolate the bottom of the trench from the bottom of the source and drain. Therefore, the present invention forms insulating dielectric isolation at the bottom of the source and drain regions 12 and the bottom of the channel through an integrated process, fundamentally eliminating parasitic channels in the substrate 1 between the source and drain and channel leakage.
[0088] In step S7 , after the source / drain regions 12 are formed, as shown in FIG. 21 , an interlayer dielectric is deposited on the source / drain regions 12 , and chemical mechanical polishing is performed on the interlayer dielectric to planarize it, and the hard mask layer 4 is removed to expose the dummy gate layer 6 .
[0089] In step S8 , based on the above, further, as shown in FIG22 , the dummy gate layer 6 formed of the polysilicon or amorphous silicon is etched away by a selective etching or corrosion process.
[0090] In step S9 , based on the above, further, as shown in FIG23 , the sacrificial layer 2 in the superlattice stack is selectively etched to release the nanosheet channel.
[0091] In step S10 , based on the above, further, as shown in FIG24 , high-K metal gates are sequentially deposited and CMP is performed to form NMOS and PMOS metal gates.
[0092] In step S11, based on the above, further, as shown in Figure 25, an interlayer dielectric is deposited on the top, and dielectric CMP is performed, and then contact hole lithography and etching are performed, and silicide is deposited to form contact holes that are respectively in contact with the source and drain regions 12 and the metal gate 14, and a conductive channel is formed in the contact holes.
[0093] On the other hand, another embodiment of the present invention also provides a semiconductor device, specifically including a substrate 1, a nanosheet channel, a metal gate 14, a source and drain region 12, an insulating dielectric layer 10, an interlayer dielectric layer 13, a first conductive channel 15 and a second conductive channel 16, wherein the nanosheet channel is located above the substrate 1, the metal gate 14 surrounds the nanosheet channel, the source and drain region 12 is connected to the nanosheet channel, the insulating dielectric layer 10 is located between the substrate 1 and the source and drain region 12 and the nanosheet channel, and the interlayer dielectric layer 13 is located above the source and drain region 12; and the first conductive channel 15 and the second conductive channel 16 are both arranged inside the interlayer dielectric layer 13, and the first conductive channel 15 is connected to the source and drain region 12, and the second conductive channel 16 is connected to the metal gate 14.
[0094] The semiconductor device of the above embodiment is formed by the aforementioned method embodiment. The materials and characteristics of each part can be referred to the above method embodiment and will not be described again here.
[0095] While the above description does not provide detailed technical details regarding patterning and etching of each layer, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various technical means can be employed to form layers, regions, and the like in desired shapes. Furthermore, those skilled in the art may devise methods that differ from those described above to achieve the same structure. Furthermore, while each embodiment has been described separately, this does not mean that the measures in each embodiment cannot be advantageously combined.
[0096] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
