附图说明
图1至图4是现有技术半导体器件的制造方法各步骤对应结构示意图;
图5至图17是本发明半导体器件的制造方法一实施例中各步骤对应结构示意图。
具体实施方式
参考图1至图4,在现有技术半导体制造过程中,半导体器件的形成工艺包括以下步骤:
提供包括NMOS区域Ⅰ和PMOS区域Ⅱ的半导体衬底100(如图1所示),在所述NMOS区域Ⅰ和PMOS区域Ⅱ的半导体衬底100表面分别形成有栅极结构110(如图1所示),在所述半导体衬底100和栅极结构110上保形覆盖一层介质层120(如图1所示);在所述半导体衬底100上形成图形化的第一掩膜层130(如图2所示),所述图形化的掩膜层130覆盖所述NMOS区域Ⅰ,以所述图形化的掩膜层130为掩膜,通过刻蚀工艺在所述PMOS区域Ⅱ栅极结构110两侧的半导体衬底100内形成沟槽140(如图2所示),在所述PMOS区域Ⅱ的栅极结构110侧壁表面形成侧墙121,所述沟槽140的形状为Sigma形状;在所述沟槽140内填充应力层150(如图3所示);在所述半导体衬底100上形成图形化的第二掩膜层160(如图4所示),所述图形化的第二掩膜层140覆盖所述PMOS区域Ⅱ,以所述图形化的第二掩膜层160为掩膜,刻蚀所述NMOS区域Ⅰ半导体衬底100表面和栅极结构110顶部的介质层120,在所述NMOS区域Ⅰ的栅极结构110侧壁表面形成侧墙121;后续再通过离子注入工艺以形成半导体器件。
现有技术通过刻蚀所述PMOS区域Ⅱ的介质层120(如图1所示)和半导体衬底100以形成Sigma形状的沟槽140(如图2所示),所述Sigma形状的沟槽140顶部的开口尺寸较大,相应的,靠近所述半导体衬底100的沟槽140侧壁与所述半导体衬底100表面的夹角较大,因此在对所述半导体衬底100进行刻蚀以形成所述Sigma形状的沟槽140时,容易对靠近所述栅极结构110底部的氧化层的造成损耗,从而导致所述栅极结构110和源、漏区(未图示)之间的短路,进而降低了半导体器件的性能。
为了解决所述技术问题,本发明提供一种半导体器件的制造方法,包括:提供半导体衬底;在所述半导体衬底上形成栅极结构;在所述栅极结构两侧的半导体衬底上形成外延衬底层;在所述外延衬底层、栅极结构和半导体衬底上保形覆盖一层硬掩膜层;刻蚀所述硬掩膜层,在所述栅极结构的侧壁上形成硬掩膜侧壁层;以所述硬掩膜侧壁层为掩膜,刻蚀所述外延衬底层和半导体衬底,在所述栅极结构两侧形成沟槽;在所述沟槽内形成应力层。
在形成所述沟槽之前,本发明先在栅极结构两侧的半导体衬底上形成外延衬底层,所述外延衬底层作为PMOS器件的衬底的一部分,使PMOS器件的衬底被抬高,且可以通过调节所述外延衬底层的厚度以控制PMOS器件衬底被抬高的高度,在所述栅极结构的侧壁上形成硬掩膜侧壁层,以所述硬掩膜侧壁层为掩膜刻蚀所述外延衬底层和半导体衬底,在所述栅极结构两侧形成Sigam形状的沟槽,在形成所述沟槽的工艺过程中,所述硬掩膜侧壁层底部的外延衬底层被保留,从而使形成的沟槽顶部的开口尺寸变小,相应的,靠近所述外延衬底层的沟槽侧壁与所述衬底表面的夹角变小,从而减少了形成所述Sigam形状的沟槽的刻蚀工艺对靠近栅极底部的氧化层的损耗,避免了栅极结构和两侧源、漏区之间的短路问题,因此,在向所述沟槽内形成应力层后,可以进一步提高所述应力层对PMOS结构沟道区施加压应力的效果,进而提高半导体器件的性能。
为使本发明的上述目的、特征和优点能够更为明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施例做详细的说明。
图5至图17是本发明半导体器件的制造方法一实施例中各步骤对应结构示意图。
参考图5,提供半导体衬底200。
具体地,所述半导体衬底200包括:用于形成NMOS的第一区域Ⅰ和用于形成PMOS的第二区域Ⅱ。
本实施例中,所述第一区域I和第二区域II为相邻的区域。
所述半导体衬底200的材料为硅、锗、锗化硅、碳化硅、砷化镓或镓化铟,所述半导体衬底200还能够为绝缘体上的硅衬底或者绝缘体上的锗衬底。本实施例中,所述半导体衬底200为硅衬底。

结合参考图5和图6,需要说明的是,在所述半导体衬底200上形成栅极结构之后,还包括:在所述半导体衬底200、第一栅极结构221和第二栅极结构220上保形覆盖一层第一介质层(未图示);刻蚀去除第二区域II半导体衬底200表面和第二栅极结构220顶部的第一介质层,形成覆盖所述第二栅极220结构侧壁表面的第一侧墙(未图示)。

本实施例中,所述图形化的第一掩膜层300的材料为光刻胶,形成所述第一侧墙之后,采用湿法去胶或灰化工艺去除所述图形化的第一掩膜层300。
参考图7,在所述第二栅极结构220两侧的半导体衬底200上形成外延衬底层250。
后续通过刻蚀所述第二栅极结构220两侧外延衬底层250和半导体衬底200,在所述外延衬底层250和半导体衬底200内形成沟槽;所述半导体衬底200的第二区域Ⅱ用于形成PMOS器件,在所述第二栅极结构220两侧的外延衬底层250和半导体衬底200内形成的沟槽的形状为Sigma形状。
具体地,刻蚀去除所述第二区域II半导体衬底200表面和第二栅极结构220顶部的第一介质层,暴露出所述第二栅极结构220两侧的第二区域II半导体衬底200表面之后,在所述第二栅极结构220两侧露出的第二区域II半导体衬底200表面形成外延衬底层250。
本实施例中,所述外延衬底层250表面高出所述隔离结构210表面。但所述外延衬底层250的厚度不能过厚,也不能过薄。当所述外延衬底层250的厚度过厚时,后续难以在所述外延衬底层250和半导体衬底200内形成PMOS器件相对应Sigma形状的沟槽(未图示),而所述Sigma形状的沟槽在后续工艺中用于形成应力层且所述应力层作为半导体器件的源、漏区,因此过厚的外延衬底层250容易对半导体器件源、漏区的形成质量产生不良影响,此外,在形成所述Sigma形状的沟槽的刻蚀工艺过程中,容易对所述第二栅极结构220底部的氧化层造成损耗,从而容易引起所述第二栅极结构220和后续形成的源、漏区(未图示)之间的短路问题,进而影响半导体器件的性能和良率;当所述外延衬底层250的厚度过薄时,后续形成的Sigma形状的沟槽位于所述半导体衬底200内的深度过深,而所述Sigma形状的沟槽在后续工艺中用于形成应力层且所述应力层作为半导体器件的源、漏区,从而也会影响半导体器件的性能和良率。为此,本实施例中,所述外延衬底层250的厚度为至
具体地,所述外延衬底层250的材料可以为硅、锗、锗化硅、碳化硅、砷化镓或镓化铟。本实施例中,所述外延衬底层250的材料为硅。
本实施例中,形成所述外延衬底层250所采用的化学气相沉积外延生长法的工艺参数包括:工艺温度为500℃至950℃,工艺时间为10s至11000s,反应室气压为5Torr至1000Torr,外延形成所述外延衬底层250的预处理气体为氢气,外延形成所述外延衬底层250的反应气体为氯化氢、二氯二氢硅、硅烷中的一种气体或多种构成的混合气体。
当工艺温度过高或过低时,基于设定的工艺时间及反应室气压条件,难以形成工艺所需的膜层材料,且难以保证形成的外延衬底层250的厚度值可以满足目标厚度值,因此,所述工艺温度需控制在500℃至950℃。相应的,为了形成满足目标厚度值的外延衬底层250且使所述外延衬底层250的材料为工艺所需的膜层材料,工艺时间需控制在10s至11000s,反应室气压需控制在5Torr至1000Torr。

具体地,在所述第一区域Ⅰ的第一介质层(未图示)、外延衬底层250、形成有第一侧墙(未图示)的第二栅极结构220和半导体衬底200上保形覆盖一硬掩膜层260。
当所述硬掩膜层260的厚度过厚时,会导致后续通过刻蚀工艺在所述外延衬底层250和半导体衬底200内形成的Sigma形状的沟槽(未图示)的开口过小,同时影响所述沟槽横截面面积大小,而所述Sigma形状的沟槽在后续工艺中用于形成应力层且所述应力层作为半导体器件的源、漏区,因此过厚的外延衬底层250容易对半导体器件源、漏区的形成质量产生不良影响,从而影响半导体器件的性能和良率;当所述硬掩膜层260的厚度过薄时,会导致后续在所述外延衬底层250和半导体衬底200内形成的Sigma形状的沟槽顶部的开口尺寸较大,相应的,靠近所述半导体衬底200的沟槽侧壁与所述半导体衬底200表面的夹角较大,在对所述半导体衬底200进行刻蚀以形成所述Sigma形状的沟槽时,容易对靠近所述第二栅极结构220底部的氧化层造成损耗,从而导致所述第二栅极结构220和后续形成的源、漏区(未图示)之间的短路,进而降低了半导体器件的性能。为此,本实施例中,所述硬掩膜层260的厚度为至
具体地,通过化学气相沉积工艺形成硬掩膜层260。其中,所述硬掩膜层260可以包括氧化物层、氮化物层、氮氧化物层和无定形碳中的一种或多种。其中,氧化物层可以包括硼磷硅玻璃(BPSG)、磷硅玻璃(PSG)、正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)、未掺杂硅玻璃(USG)、旋涂玻璃(SOG)、高密度等离子体(HDP)或旋涂电介质(SOD),氮化物层可包括氮化硅(Si3N4)层,氮氧化物层可包括氮氧化硅(SiON)层。本实施例中,所述硬掩膜层260为氮化硅层。

需要说明的是,由于所述硬掩膜层260保形覆盖于所述第二栅极结构220和外延衬底层250上,经过刻蚀工艺后,所述第二栅极结构220顶部和外延衬底层250部分表面的硬掩膜层260被刻蚀去除,形成位于所述第二栅极结构220侧壁上的硬掩膜侧壁层261。

需要说明的是,所述第二区域Ⅱ用于形成PMOS器件,因此,所述沟槽280的形状为Sigma形状。
本实施例中,所述第一刻蚀工艺为等离子体干法刻蚀工艺。所述第一刻蚀工艺的工艺参数包括:刻蚀气体为CF4、CH3F、HBr、NF3、Cl2、O2和N2中的一种或多种气体,载气为Ar和He中的一种或多种气体,反应室气压为2mtorr至100mtorr,偏置电压为50V至250V,工艺温度为30℃至100℃,工艺时间为3s至20s。
需要说明的是,形成所述初始开口270之后,靠近所述隔离结构210一侧的外延衬底层250被去除,由于所述硬掩膜侧壁层261覆盖部分外延衬底层250表面,因此所述硬掩膜侧壁层261下方的部分外延衬底层250被保留。在其他实施例中,被保留的外延衬底层250还可以包括靠近所述隔离结构210一侧的部分外延衬底层250,以及位于所述硬掩膜侧壁层261下方的部分外延衬底层250。

还需要说明的是,通过湿法刻蚀工艺形成所述沟槽280的过程中,所述第二栅极结构220两侧的部分外延衬底层250及隔离结构210被去除。

本实施例中,所述应力层400的材料为锗硅,形成所述应力层400的工艺为化学气相沉积外延生长法。其中,所述化学气相沉积外延生长法的工艺参数包括:工艺温度为500℃至950℃,工艺时间为10s至11000s,反应室气压为5Torr至1000Torr,外延形成所述应力层400的预处理气体为氢气,外延形成所述应力层400的反应气体为氯化氢、二氯二氢硅、硅烷中的一种气体或多种构成的混合气体。
当工艺温度过高或过低时,基于设定的工艺时间及反应室气压条件,难以形成工艺所需的膜层材料,且难以保证形成的应力层400的厚度值可以满足目标厚度值,因此,所述工艺温度需控制在500℃至950℃。相应的,为了形成满足目标厚度值的应力层400且使所述应力层400的材料为工艺所需的膜层材料,工艺时间需控制在10s至11000s,反应室气压需控制在5Torr至1000Torr。
