Detailed Description
The embodiment of the application provides a semiconductor device manufacturing method, and solves the technical problem that the production efficiency of a semiconductor device containing a ferroelectric film is low due to the fact that the production efficiency of the ferroelectric film is low in the prior art.
In order to solve the technical problems, the general idea of the embodiment of the application is as follows:
a method of fabricating a semiconductor device, the semiconductor device including a ferroelectric thin film layer, the method comprising: and arranging a hafnium dioxide target material and a zirconium dioxide target material at the target material position, and sputtering the hafnium dioxide target material and the zirconium dioxide target material simultaneously to obtain the ferroelectric thin film layer.
This example is carried out by subjecting hafnium oxide (HfO)2) Target material and zirconium dioxide (ZrO)2) The target material is sputtered at the same time, so that the ferroelectric material with better ferroelectric property can be obtained quicklyThe ferroelectric thin film layer can further improve the production efficiency of a semiconductor device including the ferroelectric thin film layer.
In order to better understand the technical solution, the technical solution will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments.
First, it is noted that the term "and/or" appearing herein is merely an associative relationship that describes an associated object, meaning that three relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B, may represent: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.
The present embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including a ferroelectric thin film layer, the method including step S11 and step S12 shown in fig. 1.
Step S11, arranging a hafnium dioxide target and a zirconium dioxide target at the target position;
step S12, for hafnium oxide (HfO)2) Target material and zirconium dioxide (ZrO)2) And sputtering the target material simultaneously to obtain the ferroelectric film layer.
In the related art, the ferroelectric thin film layer is mainly obtained by the ALD method, but with this method, the thin film growth rate is slow, which in turn results in low efficiency in manufacturing a semiconductor device.
This example was carried out by sputtering hafnium oxide (HfO)2) Target material and zirconium dioxide (ZrO)2) The ferroelectric thin film layer is obtained by using a target material, and specifically, sputtering methods such as magnetron sputtering, ion beam sputtering, direct current sputtering, reactive sputtering and the like can be used, which are not limited herein. In the embodiment, the ferroelectric film layer is grown in a sputtering mode, so that the growth speed of the film can be greatly improved. Sputtering hafnium oxide (HfO)2) Target material and zirconium dioxide (ZrO)2) When the target material is used, two target materials can be sputtered simultaneously so as to ensure hafnium oxide (HfO)2) And zirconium dioxide (ZrO)2) The ferroelectric thin film layer can be uniformly formed.
Compared with the ALD method, the sputtering method has higher efficiency, and the time spent on depositing the thin film with the same thickness is less than one sixth of the time spent on the ALD method. For example, a 10nm film may take at least 2 hours to deposit using ALD, and only about 20 minutes to deposit using sputtering. Therefore, the ferroelectric thin film layer is obtained by the sputtering method, so that the preparation time of the ferroelectric thin film layer can be greatly shortened, the preparation time of the semiconductor device can be further shortened, the preparation efficiency of the semiconductor device is improved, and the production efficiency of the semiconductor device is also improved.
When the ferroelectric thin film layer is prepared by the ALD method, impurities such as carbon C, hydrogen H, nitrogen N and the like are easily introduced, so that the ferroelectric property of the ferroelectric thin film layer is poor. This example uses HfO having a purity of at least 99%2Target material and ZrO2The target material is used for preparing the ferroelectric film layer, so that the impurity content in the ferroelectric film layer can be reduced, and the ferroelectric film layer is ensured to have better ferroelectric performance.
This embodiment is to HfO2Target material and ZrO2When the target material is sputtered, the method specifically comprises the following steps:
introducing Ar and oxygen O2And nitrogen gas N2In the process of (2), the first power is applied to HfO2Sputtering the hafnium oxide target material, and carrying out ZrO at a second power2And sputtering the target. Ar and O2And nitrogen gas N2The two gases may be introduced simultaneously or after mixing, and are not limited herein.
Wherein, the selection range of the first power and the selection range of the second power are 30-200W (watt). The flow rate range of argon is 10-50 sccm (standard milliliters per minute, flow unit), the flow rate range of oxygen is 0-10 sccm, and the flow rate range of nitrogen is 0-10 sccm.
The ferroelectric thin film layer obtained in the process parameter range has the characteristics of good film quality, excellent ferroelectric property, high reliability, small electric leakage, good breakdown characteristic, fatigue characteristic, awakening effect, retention characteristic and the like.
The thickness range of the ferroelectric thin film layer obtained in the embodiment is 3-70 nm (nanometers, distance units). Doped ZrO formed if the ferroelectric thin film layer has a thickness of less than about 3nm2The ferroelectric properties of the thin film are poor and it is difficult to realize practical applications, on the other hand, if the thickness of the ferroelectric thin film layer is greater than 70nm, the ferroelectric thin film layer may be too thick for advanced process technologies.
In summary, the present embodiment is implemented by applying hafnium oxide (HfO)2) Target material and zirconium dioxide (ZrO)2) The target material is sputtered, so that a ferroelectric film layer with better ferroelectric property can be quickly obtained, and the production efficiency of a semiconductor device containing the ferroelectric film layer can be further improved.

The first electrode 12 and the second electrode 14 may be obtained by a sputtering process, and may specifically include ion beam sputtering, direct current sputtering, reactive sputtering, and the like, without limitation.

Wherein the first electrode 12 is prepared to have a thickness of not less than 10 nm.
The roughness of the surface of the first electrode 12 prepared in the process range is less than 1nm, so that the leakage amount of the ferroelectric thin film layer 13 can be effectively reduced, and the generation of ferroelectric performance of the ferroelectric thin film layer 13 is facilitated.
For example, the beam current voltage is 800V, the beam current is 46mA, the acceleration voltage is 160V, and the gas is Ar and N2Mixed gas, Ar flow rate is 8sccm, N2The first electrode 12 is fabricated at a process parameter of 5sccm, and the thickness of the first electrode 12 may be 40 nm.

The set range of the introduced Ar can be between 10sccm and 50sccm, O2The setting range of (b) can be between 0 to 10sccm, N2The setting range of (b) can be between 0 to 10 sccm. The parameters are adjusted within the process parameter range, so that the ferroelectric film with better quality can be obtained, and the generation of ferroelectricity is facilitated. In this embodiment, the thickness of the ferroelectric thin film layer 13 is 3 to 70 nm.
For example, ZrO may be specifically set2Sputtering power of 50W, HfO2The sputtering power of (2) is 80W; the flow rate of Ar introduced was set to 20sccm, and O was introduced2The flow rate of (2) was set to 0.2sccm, and N was introduced2The flow rate of (2) was set to 0sccm to obtain 10 nm-grown ZrO2A base ferroelectric thin film layer 13.
And 4, coating photoresist on the ferroelectric thin film layer 13, and exposing and developing.
For example, in ZrO2The base ferroelectric thin film layer 13 is coated with negative photoresist, and can be baked at 150 ℃ (centigrade, temperature unit) for 2min (minutes, time unit), baked at 120 ℃ for 2min after exposure, soaked in developing solution for 45s (seconds, time unit) for development, and then rinsed with deionized water for drying.
And 5, sputtering the ferroelectric film layer 13 by using an ion beam sputtering process to prepare a second electrode 14.

The second electrode 14 is prepared to have a thickness of not less than 10 nm.
The roughness of the surface of the second electrode 14 prepared in the above process range is less than 1nm, which can effectively reduce the leakage amount of the ferroelectric thin film layer 13, and is beneficial to the generation of ferroelectric performance of the ferroelectric thin film layer 13.
For example, the beam current voltage is 800V, the beam current is 46mA, the acceleration voltage is 160V, and the gas is Ar and N2Mixed gas, Ar flow rate is 8sccm, N2The second electrode 14 is prepared at a process parameter of 5sccm, and the thickness of the second electrode 14 may be 40 nm.
And 6, removing the photoresist and the redundant metal to obtain the ferroelectric capacitor.

Rinsing and drying the ZrO2Based on ferroelectric devices in N2Annealing at 500 deg.C for 30s in an atmosphere (the temperature may be 400-700 deg.C, here 500 deg.C for example) to obtain ZrO2A ferroelectric capacitor.

In practical operation, a dielectric layer can be added on the basis of the ferroelectric capacitor shown in fig. 2, and the probability of electric leakage of the ferroelectric capacitor can be reduced by adding the dielectric layer.
A dielectric layer a, as shown in fig. 4, may be disposed between the first electrode 12 and the ferroelectric thin film layer 13. A dielectric layer B, as shown in fig. 5, may also be provided between the ferroelectric thin film layer 13 and the second electrode 14. Of course, dielectric layers, such as dielectric layer a and dielectric layer B shown in fig. 6, may be provided between the first electrode 12 and the ferroelectric thin film layer 13, and between the ferroelectric thin film layer 13 and the second electrode 14, respectively.
