Detailed Description
As described in the background, prior art silicon-based germanium photodetectors have poor reliability. The following detailed description will be made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams of a semiconductor structure.
Referring to fig. 1, a substrate 100 is provided, the substrate 100 has a first doped region 101 and a second doped region 102 separated from each other, the first doped region 101 has first ions therein, the second doped region 102 has second ions therein, and the first ions and the second ions have different electrical types; forming a first isolation layer 103 on the substrate 100; a light absorbing layer 104 is formed within the first isolation layer 103 and the substrate 100, and the light absorbing layer 104 is further located between the first doped region 101 and the second doped region 102.
Referring to fig. 2, after the light absorption layer 104 is formed, a dielectric layer 105 is formed on the first isolation layer 103, and the dielectric layer 105 covers the light absorption layer 104.
In this embodiment, the material germanium of the light absorption layer 104, and the light absorption layer 104 as an important component of a germanium photodetector, can generate a photoelectric effect in the presence of light, thereby separating free electrons. When a reverse voltage is applied to the first doped region 101 and the second doped region 102, a current generated by free electrons can be detected.
In the present embodiment, the method of forming the light absorbing layer 104 in the first isolation layer 103 and the substrate 100 includes: forming a first opening (not shown) in the first isolation layer 103 and the substrate 100; the light absorbing layer 104 is formed within the first opening using an epitaxial growth process.
Since the light absorbing layer 104 is formed by an epitaxial growth process, there is a problem of uneven growth distribution during the epitaxial growth process, so that the top of the light absorbing layer 104 is in an arc structure, and a small included angle (as shown in part a in fig. 1) exists between the top surface of the light absorbing layer 104 and the sidewall of the first isolation layer 103.
In the subsequent process of forming the dielectric layer 105, the light absorption layer 104 cannot withstand high temperature, so that the dielectric layer 105 cannot be formed by a high-temperature furnace process with better filling property. In addition, the dielectric layer 105 cannot be formed using a High Density Plasma (HDP) cvd process because the light absorbing layer 104 is also damaged by the High intensity Plasma.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, a common low temperature chemical vapor deposition process is selected to form the dielectric layer 105. However, the filling property of the low temperature chemical vapor deposition is weak, and therefore, the included angle between the top surface of the light absorption layer 105 and the sidewall of the first isolation layer 103 cannot be filled, and a gap (as shown in part B of fig. 2) is formed, which affects the reliability of the germanium photodetector, so that the performance of the finally formed semiconductor structure is reduced.
On the basis, the invention provides a semiconductor structure and a forming method thereof, wherein a first opening is formed in the isolation structure and the substrate, and the distance between the top side wall of the first opening and the top side wall of the light absorption layer is larger than zero. Such that a distance between a top sidewall of the light absorbing layer and a top sidewall of the first opening is increased. When the dielectric layer is formed subsequently, the dielectric layer can be well filled between the light absorption layer and the isolation structure, so that the gap problem is reduced, the reliability of the germanium photoelectric detector is effectively improved, and the performance of the finally formed semiconductor structure is improved.
