Detailed Description
The method for forming the full-surrounding gate structure generally adopts the steps of forming a pseudo gate structure crossing the fin part on the substrate, removing part of the sacrificial layer in the fin part under the pseudo gate structure to form a channel, and then forming a gate medium with high dielectric constant and a metal gate, so that the full-surrounding gate structure is formed, but the usability of the semiconductor device formed at the moment is poor. This is because the fully-enclosed gate structure encloses all the fins, resulting in poor heat dissipation capability of the fully-enclosed gate structure, and thus, thermal noise is generated when the semiconductor device is used, which is easily caused by self-heating effect, and this thermal noise not only affects the performance and reliability of the circuit, but also may damage the formed circuit due to serious thermal problems, so that the use performance of the semiconductor device is reduced.
The specific semiconductor device is formed as follows:
referring to fig. 1, a substrate 1 is provided, a sacrificial layer 101 and a liner layer 102 are sequentially formed on the substrate 1, and the sacrificial layer 101 and the liner layer 102 are alternately formed on the substrate 1.
Referring to fig. 2, the liner layer 102 and the sacrificial layer 101 are etched until the substrate 1 is exposed, and a plurality of fins 2 are formed on the substrate 1 in a discrete arrangement.
Referring to fig. 3, a dummy gate structure 3 is formed on the substrate 1 across the fin 2.
Referring to fig. 4, the sacrificial layer 101 in the fin 2 covered by the dummy gate structure 3 is removed to form a channel 201.
Referring to fig. 5, the dummy gate structure 3 is removed, and a metal gate structure 4 is formed, the metal gate structure 4 surrounding the liner 102 on the fin 2.
The inventor finds that the fin parts are formed with the full-surrounding grid structure, and the heat dissipation capacity of the fin parts is larger than that of the full-surrounding grid structure, so that the single full-surrounding grid structure has poor heat dissipation capacity, and when the semiconductor device is formed, heat generated in the semiconductor is not easy to dissipate to generate thermal noise, so that the reliability of the use and the stability of the performance of the semiconductor device are affected.
The inventor researches and discovers that a full-surrounding grid structure is formed on one part of the fin part, and the fin part of the other part of the fin part does not fully surround the grid structure, and the heat dissipation capacity of the fin part is larger than that of the full-surrounding grid structure, so that heat generated in the semiconductor device can be timely dissipated in the use process of the semiconductor device, the self-heating effect generated in the semiconductor device is eliminated, and the stability of the performance of the semiconductor device is improved.
The inventor researches also find that the lining layers with different layers are formed on the adjacent fin parts, and the adjacent fin parts have different heat dissipation capacities when the full-surrounding grid structure is formed by utilizing the different densities of the lining layers on the adjacent fin parts, so that heat generated in the use process of the semiconductor device is effectively and timely dissipated, the self-heating effect formed in the semiconductor device is avoided, and the use performance of the semiconductor device is improved.
