Detailed Description
The following specific examples are presented to illustrate the present application, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate the additional advantages and capabilities of the present application as disclosed herein. The application may be practiced or carried out in other embodiments that depart from the spirit and scope of the present application, and details of the present application may be modified or changed from various points of view and applications.
In the description of the present application, it should be noted that, unless explicitly stated and limited otherwise, the term "connected" should be interpreted broadly, and for example, it may be a fixed connection, a removable connection, or an integral connection; can be mechanically or electrically connected; can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can be communication between two elements. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art according to the specific circumstances. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second," etc. are used merely to distinguish between descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
The mobility of carriers in the channel affects the magnitude of current in the channel, and the decrease in carrier mobility not only reduces the switching speed of the transistor, but also reduces the difference in resistance between on and off. For PMOS devices, compressive stress is applied in the direction of channel current flow to advantage hole mobility, and thus compressive stress is introduced in the direction of the channel to increase the mobility of holes in its channel. The embedded silicon germanium technology is provided for the mobility of holes in a PMOS device, silicon germanium is grown in a source-drain region through a selective epitaxial growth technology, so that the stress of a channel region is introduced, and the stress concentration in the channel direction is facilitated by a groove with a diamond-shaped section.
The epitaxial growth technique, which is usually selective, also includes a pre-cleaning process of the trench, such as introducing SF 6 And Cl 2 The formed plasma etches and cleans the groove. However, the sidewalls of the trench having the diamond-shaped cross section at the upper opening thereof may be subjected to uncontrolled overetching during the pre-cleaning process, resulting in leakage between the source and drain electrodes formed later and degrading the performance of the semiconductor device.
Analysis proves that before the groove is formed, partial boron ion implantation is carried out in the range of the side wall of the groove, so that the etching rate of Si in the side wall of the groove in the pre-cleaning process can be effectively reduced. Atomic radius of boron isAtomic radius of silicon ofBoron atoms have a smaller radius than silicon atoms, so that doping with boron ions creates tensile stresses in the crystal lattice of silicon, thereby reducing the rate at which silicon is etched. In addition, boron ions and fluorine ions and chlorine ions (F - /Cl - ) The coulomb repulsion can also play a certain role in inhibiting the etching rate of silicon.
Based on the above analysis, according to one aspect of the present application, there is provided a semiconductor device manufacturing method. Referring to fig. 1, the method comprises the following steps:
s1, a semiconductor substrate 10 is provided, and a well region 20 and a gate region 30 are formed on the semiconductor substrate 10.

In one embodiment, N-type dopant ions are implanted into the semiconductor substrate 10 to form a well region 20 with the N-type dopant ions. The N-type dopant ions may be, for example, phosphorus (P) ions, arsenic (As) ions, or antimony (Sb) ions, and the P-type dopant ions may be, for example, boron (B) ions, boron difluoride (bf2+) ions, gallium (Ga) ions, or indium (In) ions.
A gate insulating layer 40 is formed on the well region 20, and a polysilicon layer is formed on the gate insulating layer 40. The polysilicon layer is etched to form the gate region 30 using a photolithography and etching process. In one embodiment, the gate region 30 further includes an oxide layer formed on the polysilicon sidewall and a nitride layer formed on the oxide layer. The oxide layer is preferably a silicon oxide layer and the nitride layer is preferably a silicon nitride layer.
S2, carrying out doped ion implantation on the surfaces of the well region 20 near the two sides of the gate region 30 to form a local doped region 210.
Ion implantation is performed on the surface of the well region 20 near both sides of the gate region 30 to form a locally doped region 210 in the surface of the well region 20. In one embodiment, the doping ions may be boron (B) ions or boron difluoride (BF2+) ions, the doping ion implantation angle is 0-45 DEG, and the doping concentration of boron in the partial doped region 210 formed after doping is in the range of 3E 14-3E 16atoms/cm 2 。
Before or after forming the local doping region 210 in step S2, a hard mask layer 50 is further formed on the surfaces of the well region 20 and the gate region 30. The hard mask layer 50 may be used to protect the polysilicon of the gate from the subsequent trench 60 formation process; next, the hard mask layer 50 is patterned, so that the formation range of the subsequent trench 60 can be defined. The hard mask layer 50 is preferably a silicon nitride layer.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3A, ion doping is performed on the surface of the well region 20 near both sides of the gate region 30 to form a locally doped region 210 on the surface of the well region 20, and then a hard mask layer 50 is formed on the surfaces of the well region 20 (including the locally doped region 210) and the gate region 30. In another embodiment, referring to fig. 3B, a hard mask layer 50 is formed on the surfaces of the well region 20 and the gate region 30 before the locally doped region 210, and then the surfaces of the well region 20 near both sides of the gate region 30 are ion-doped by spacing the hard mask layer 50 to form the locally doped region 210.
S3, etching the well region 20, forming trenches 60 on both sides of the gate region 30, and the locally doped region 210 includes a region between the trenches 60 and the gate region 30 and extends below the gate region.

In one embodiment, the trench 60 is diamond-shaped, i.e., a "Σ" shape recognized in the industry, and it should be noted that diamond-shaped means that the cross section of the trench 60 has a shape similar to that of diamond. The diamond-shaped groove 620 is formed by the following steps: first, the patterned hard mask layer 50 is etched for the first time to form a U-shaped groove 610 in the well region 20; then, the U-shaped groove 610 is etched for the second time, so that the volume of the U-shaped groove 610 is enlarged, and a diamond-shaped groove 620 with a diamond cross section is formed, wherein the side wall of the diamond-shaped groove 620, which is close to the gate region 30, is the local doped region 210.

In one embodiment, the pre-cleaning process is a SF-containing process 6 And Cl 2 Etching and cleaning the trench 60 with the process gas of (1), wherein SF 6 The gas flow is 1-100 sccm, the time of gas action is 3-30 s, the time of plasma action is 3-30 s, cl 2 The gas flow is 1-100 sccm, the time of acting in the gas state is 3-30 s, and the time of acting in the plasma state is 3-30 s.
It should be noted that, in the conventional pre-cleaning process, over etching is performed on the Si on the side wall of the diamond-shaped recess 620, especially on the side wall of the diamond-shaped recess 620 near the gate region 30, which may cause leakage of the gate region 30, and affect the performance of the device. The surface of the well region 20 near the gate region 30 is doped with boron ions before the trench 60 is formed to form the local doped region 210, so that over etching of the diamond-shaped recess 620 near the gate region 30 during the pre-cleaning process can be effectively reduced. Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6A is a block diagram of a diamond-shaped recess 620 prior to a pre-clean step, and FIG. 6B is a block diagram of an embedded SiGe epitaxial layer formed by the prior art, with an over-etch of Si on the sidewall adjacent to the gate region 30 ofFIG. 6C is a block diagram of an embedded SiGe epitaxial layer formed in accordance with an embodiment of the present application, wherein the sidewall Si over-etch near the gate region 30 is +.>Compared with the prior art, the applicationThe sidewall Si over-etch of the embedded SiGe epitaxial layer of an embodiment is reduced by more than 50%.
Preferably, before step S3, the locally doped region 210 before the etching process should further include an area surrounded by the top opening of the trench 60, besides the area between the trench 60 and the gate region 30, so as to form a complete protection for the opening edge of the subsequent diamond-type recess 620. The locally doped region 210 located in the region surrounded by the opening of the trench 60 is partially removed during the first etching and the subsequent pre-cleaning of the trench 60, so that the performance of the device is not affected, and finally the locally doped region 210 located in the region around the outside of the top opening of the diamond-type recess 620 is preserved. It should be appreciated that in this case, the locally doped region 210 should also include the entire top open area of the diamond-type recess 620 for the final device structure to be formed, not just the area between the trench and the gate region.
