Abstract
Description
A low substrate leakage RFSOI wafer and its preparation method Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a low substrate leakage RFSOI wafer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] SOI stands for Silicon-On-Insulator, which means silicon on an insulating substrate. This technology introduces a buried oxide layer between the top silicon and the back substrate. It has the characteristics of low power consumption, high speed, anti-latch and excellent RF performance.
[0003] When RF chips are formed on a silicon substrate, the semiconductor properties of silicon cause attenuation of RF signals in the substrate. Simultaneously, the characteristics of silicon-based semiconductor components also lead to the transmission of parasitic interference (crosstalk noise).
[0004] RFSOI, or radio frequency silicon-on-insulator (RFSOI), a new semiconductor material technology, has become a key enabler in 5G RF chip manufacturing. RFSOI offers performance advantages such as higher integration, higher power output, lower noise figure, faster switching speeds, and lower losses. It also provides more accurate, efficient, and comprehensive test data, helping designers better evaluate the performance and stability of RF chips.
[0005] However, the RF circuits made based on RFSOI wafers in the existing technology have the following problems: when a bias voltage is applied to the back gate, there is a large back gate leakage current between the trap rich layer (TRL) on the active area side and the back gate region formed by doping the TRL, which seriously affects the back gate control capability. The existing RFSOI wafer and the device structure made from it are shown in Figure 1-2.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention is proposed.
[0007] Summary of the Invention
[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a low substrate leakage RFSOI wafer and a preparation method thereof, wherein the wafer has lower back gate leakage and the ability to isolate substrate coupling effect than the existing RFSOI wafer.
[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a low substrate leakage RFSOI wafer, as shown in FIG3 , comprising a first silicon layer, a first buried oxide layer, a first defect-enriched layer, a second buried oxide layer, a second defect-enriched layer, and a wafer substrate, arranged sequentially from top to bottom.
[0010] Wherein, the first defect-rich layer and the second defect-rich layer are any one of a polysilicon layer and a porous silicon layer.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, the present invention does not impose strict restrictions on the materials of the first buried oxide layer and the second buried oxide layer, and specifically, the materials may include any one of silicon dioxide, glass and sapphire.
[0012] The first silicon layer of the present invention may be specifically composed of N-type or P-type semiconductor materials.
[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned RFSOI wafer, which specifically comprises the following steps:
[0014] S1, preparing a second defect-rich layer on the surface of the first wafer substrate and growing SiO2 as a second buried oxide layer;
[0015] S2, preparing a first defect-enriched layer on the surface of the second wafer substrate;
[0016] S3, flipping the second wafer substrate obtained in step S2 upside down and bonding it to the surface of the second buried oxide layer in step S1;
[0017] S4, peeling off the second wafer substrate after the high-temperature hydrogen implantation, leaving the defect-rich layer as the first defect-rich layer;
[0018] S5, growing SiO2 on the surface of the first defect-rich layer as a first buried oxide layer;
[0019] S6, injecting hydrogen at high temperature on the surface of the third wafer substrate;
[0020] S7, flipping the third wafer substrate after high-temperature hydrogen implantation in step S6 on the surface of the first buried oxide layer in step S5 for bonding, and stripping the hydrogen implanted portion of the third wafer substrate under high temperature conditions to obtain an RFSOI wafer;
[0021] There is no restriction on the order of steps S1, S2 and S3.
[0022] When the polysilicon layer is used as the first defect-rich layer, step S2 specifically includes: taking another second wafer substrate, then growing a polysilicon layer on the surface of the second wafer substrate, and implanting hydrogen at high temperature;
[0023] When preparing the polysilicon layer, LPCVD is used to treat it at 600-700°C for 20-60 minutes. Since the growth thickness is positively correlated with the growth time, the growth thickness can be controlled by the growth time.
[0024] After the polysilicon layer is grown, high-temperature hydrogen is injected into the surface of the polysilicon layer. Specifically, the hydrogen injection dosage is 5×10 16 -1×10 17 ions / cm 2The hydrogen injection energy is 10-80kev, the hydrogen injection depth is 0.2μm-0.8μm, and the hydrogen injection energy and depth are approximately linearly related. The control of the injection depth is determined by the thickness of the subsequent stripping.
[0025] When porous silicon is used as the first defect-rich layer, step S2 specifically includes: growing single crystal silicon on the surface of the second wafer substrate, and then converting the single crystal silicon into porous silicon by electrolysis;
[0026] Specifically, when preparing single-crystalline silicon, a CVD epitaxial growth process is used. The epitaxial growth process is as follows: In a high-temperature gas chamber, Si is vaporized with H2 at a temperature of 200-500°C to form gaseous SiH4. The gaseous SiH4 is passed into another chamber where a second wafer substrate is placed. At a high temperature of 600°C, a chemical reaction occurs to form Si and H2 hydrogen, and Si is deposited on the surface of the second wafer.
[0027] During the electrolysis, the electrolyte used was composed of 40% hydrofluoric acid and 40% dimethylformamide in a volume ratio of 1:2. A bias voltage was applied at room temperature without light to make the current density reach 64 mA / cm 2 The longer the corrosion time, the larger the pore diameter and the deeper the depth, the more necessary it is to control as needed during actual operation (Figure 8).
[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, in step S1, when preparing the second defect-rich layer, LPCVD is used at 600-700° C. for 20-60 minutes to grow a polysilicon layer, and the growth thickness can be specifically controlled by the growth time;
[0029] After the growth of the polysilicon layer is completed, the first wafer substrate with the polysilicon layer grown on the surface is placed in an oxygen-rich environment, and the first wafer substrate is exposed to the oxygen-rich environment to thermally oxidize Si at high temperature to generate SiO2, wherein the thermal oxidation treatment temperature is 650-750°C, and preferably 700°C min, to prepare a second buried oxide layer, and the oxygen-rich environment here can preferably be a vertical oxidation furnace. The relationship between the thermal oxidation time and the oxide layer thickness is shown in Figure 6. The thickness of the second buried oxide layer in the present invention is preferably 5-150nm.
[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, in steps S3 and S7, before bonding, the surface of the wafer to be bonded is subjected to a hydrophilic treatment;
[0031] Specifically, during the hydrophilic treatment, the two wafers to be bonded are first immersed in water. After the wafers are taken out of the water, a layer of water film is adsorbed on the surface, which is the hydrophilic treatment.
[0032] The adsorbed water destroys the Si-O-Si bond on the surface of the silicon wafer and forms an OH bond with water. At 110-150°C, the two wafers with OH bonds after hydrophilic treatment can undergo a polymerization reaction to produce water and Si-O bonds. Subsequently, low-temperature bonding can be performed at 140-160°C, and preferably 150°C.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, in step S5, when preparing the first buried oxide layer, the first wafer substrate processed in step S4 is placed in an oxygen-rich environment, and Si is thermally oxidized at a high temperature to generate SiO2, wherein the thermal oxidation treatment temperature is 650-750°C, and preferably 700°C min. Specifically, the oxidation thickness can be determined by the oxidation time. The relationship between the thermal oxidation time and the oxide layer thickness is shown in Figure 5. In the present invention, the thickness of the first buried oxide layer is preferably 5-150nm;
[0034] In step S6, during the high temperature hydrogen injection, the hydrogen injection dosage is 5×10 16 -1×10 17 ions / cm 2 The hydrogen injection energy is 10-80kev, the hydrogen injection depth is 0.2-0.8μm, and the thickness of the second hydrogen-injected silicon wafer after peeling is approximately the average value of the hydrogen injection depth during hydrogen injection. When the hydrogen injection dose is consistent, the injection depth can be controlled by the injection distance (Figure 7) to obtain the first silicon layer with the required specific peeling thickness.
[0035] The low substrate leakage RFSOI wafer of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0036] The low-substrate-leakage RFSOI wafer of the present invention comprises, arranged from top to bottom, a first silicon layer, a first buried oxide layer, a first defect-enriched layer, a second buried oxide layer, a second defect-enriched layer, and a wafer substrate. The second defect-enriched layer effectively blocks interference from the substrate layer on the electrical signals in the back-gate region, while the second buried oxide layer blocks leakage from the original TRL / SUB layer. Consequently, the RFSOI wafer of the present invention exhibits lower back-gate leakage and the ability to isolate substrate coupling effects compared to existing RFSOI wafers.
