Description

Fin type transistor structure
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit fabrication, and more particularly, to a transistor structure and a method for fabricating the same.
Background
The semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC) industry has experienced rapid growth. Technological advances in IC design and materials have resulted in several generations of ICs, each with smaller and more complex circuitry than the previous generation. In the course of IC development, functional density generally increases, while geometry decreases.
A transistor is a circuit element or component that is typically formed as part of semiconductor fabrication. A Field Effect Transistor (FET) is one type of transistor. Typically, a transistor includes a gate stack formed between a source region and a drain region.
Three-dimensional transistors with fin-shaped active regions generally require enhanced device performance as transistor scaling decreases. The three-dimensional FETs formed on the fin active region are also referred to as finfets. Finfets are designed with narrow widths for short channel control and reduced gate length to meet desired scaling. The fabrication of such finfets, such as the implementation of negative capacitance devices, to provide adequate performance is becoming increasingly challenging.
Meanwhile, in the FinFET, in the current process, a contact hole (CT) technology is a challenging difficulty in each technology node of a semiconductor integrated circuit, and is a key step for connecting a front-stage device and a back-stage metal connection line. The method needs low resistance similar to a back-end connecting line, ensures good connection with a front-end device, can not only not be etched enough to cause open circuit, but also controls the loss (loss) amount of metal silicide such as NiSi to prevent the metal silicide from being etched through (ETCH through) and further causing resistance increase and Junction leakage; NiSi is commonly used as a metal silicide in processes below the 45nm technology node. To solve this problem, the existing mature process in the CT process loop (loop) uses a Contact ETCH Stop Layer (CESL) as a transition layer.
However, with current devices, the stress in the channel region is insufficient, resulting in insufficient electron mobility and affecting the performance of the electronic device.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problem that the stress of a device in a channel region is insufficient, so that the electron mobility is insufficient.
In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention discloses a fin transistor structure, including: the semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate, wherein a grid structure is formed on the semiconductor substrate; the side walls are formed on two sides of the grid structure; the top interface layer is formed at the top of the grid structure; the contact etching stop layer is arranged on the silicon substrate and the grid structure; and the stress layer is arranged on the contact etching stop layer.
Preferably, the gate structure includes a gate dielectric layer and a metal gate layer.
Preferably, the gate dielectric layer is a high dielectric constant gate insulator layer.
Preferably, the metal gate comprises one or more work function layers.
Preferably, an interlayer film is further formed between the gate structures.
The invention is used for providing tensile stress for the channel region of the device, and improves the electron mobility, thereby improving the performance of the electronic device.
