Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a native NMOS device and a method for fabricating the same, and more particularly, to a native NMOS device capable of preventing leakage current and a method for fabricating the same.
Background
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a prior art native NMOS device. The native NMOS device 10 includes a P-type epitaxial layer 111, insulating regions 121 and 122, a gate 13, an N-type source 14, an N-type drain 15, and a P-type contact 112.

The gate 13 includes a dielectric layer, a conductive layer and a spacer layer, which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein.
U.S. patent application US20140197497A1 discloses a native PMOS device and a method for fabricating the same, wherein the native PMOS device has a low threshold voltage and a high driving current.

Detailed Description
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The drawings in the present invention are schematic and are mainly intended to represent the process steps and the upper and lower order relationship between the layers, and the shapes, thicknesses and widths are not drawn to scale.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a native NMOS device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the native NMOS device 20 includes: the P-type epitaxial layer 211, the first insulating region 221, the second insulating region 222, the gate 23, the N-type source 24, the N-type drain 25, the first P-type well 261, the second P-type well 262, and the P-type contact 212.
The P-type epitaxial layer 211 is formed on the P-type substrate 21 and has a P-type conductivity. The P-type epitaxial layer 211 has a first P-type impurity doping concentration. The P-type epitaxial layer 211 has an upper surface 21a and a lower surface 21b opposite to each other in a vertical direction (as indicated by a solid arrow in fig. 2, the same applies hereinafter). The P-type substrate 21 is, for example and without limitation, a P-type or N-type semiconductor P-type substrate. The P-type epitaxial layer 211 is formed on the P-type substrate 21, for example, in an epitaxial process. Part of the P-type epitaxial layer 211 is used to provide a conduction current channel for the native NMOS device 20 in a conduction operation.
With continued reference to fig. 2, a first insulating region 221 and a second insulating region 222 are formed on the P-type epitaxial layer 211. The first insulating region 221 and the second insulating region 222 are used to define the operation region 22 between the first insulating region 221 and the second insulating region 222. The first insulating region 221 and the second insulating region 222 are, for example, but not limited to, shallow trench isolation (shallow trench isolation, STI) structures as shown in fig. 2.
With continued reference to fig. 2, a first P-well 261 and a second P-well 262 are formed in the P-epi layer 211 by the same ion implantation process, and have a P-type conductivity. The gate electrode 23 is formed on the P-type epitaxial layer 221 in the operation region 22. The gate 23 includes a conductive layer, a spacer layer and a dielectric layer, wherein the dielectric layer is disposed on the upper surface 21a and connected to the upper surface 21a, which is well known to those skilled in the art, and is not described herein. The N-type source 24 and the N-type drain 25 are formed in the P-type epitaxial layer 211 in the operation region 22 by the same ion implantation process, and the N-type source 24 and the N-type drain 25 are respectively located on the first P-type well region 261 and the second P-type well region 262 below the outer portions of the two sides of the gate 23. The N-type source 24 and the N-type drain 25 are located under the upper surface 21a and connected to the upper surface 21a, and have N-type conductivity. The P-type contact electrode 212 is formed in the P-type epitaxial layer 211, is located below the upper surface 21a and connected to the upper surface 21a, and has a P-type conductivity for serving as an electrical contact between the first P-type well 261, the P-type epitaxial layer 211 and the second P-type well 262.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the first P-well 261 completely covers and is connected to the lower surface of the N-type source 24. The second P-type well region 262 completely covers and is connected to the lower surface of the N-type drain electrode 25. The first P-well 261 and the second P-well 262 have a second P-type impurity doping concentration, which is higher than the first P-type impurity doping concentration, and the second P-type impurity doping concentration is sufficient to prevent leakage current from flowing between the N-type drain 25 and the P-type substrate 21 when the native NMOS device 20 is operated.
In one embodiment, the P-type epitaxial layer 211 has a volume resistivity of 45Ohm-cm.
In one embodiment, the P-type epitaxial layer 211 has no N-type region other than the N-type source 24 and the N-type drain 25 in the active region 22.
It should be noted that the upper surface 21a does not refer to a completely flat plane, but refers to one surface of the P-type epitaxial layer 211. In the present embodiment, for example, a portion of the upper surface 21a where the first insulating region 221 contacts the upper surface 21a has a depressed portion. The portion of the upper surface 21a of the second rim region 222 that contacts the upper surface 21a also has a depressed portion.
Note that the gate electrode 23 includes a conductive layer having conductivity, a dielectric layer connected to the upper surface 21a, and a spacer layer having an electrical insulation property, wherein the conductive layer is used as an electrical contact of the gate electrode 23, formed on the dielectric layer and connected to the dielectric layer. Spacers are formed on both sides of the conductive layer to serve as an electrically insulating layer on both sides of the gate electrode 23. This is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described here in detail.
It should be noted that the aforementioned "N-type" and "P-type" refer to that in the native NMOS device, impurities of different conductivity types are doped in the semiconductor composition region (such as, but not limited to, the aforementioned P-type epitaxial layer 211, the N-type source 24, the N-type drain 25, the first P-type well 261, the second P-type well 262, the P-type contact electrode 212, etc.), so that the semiconductor composition region is N-type or P-type, wherein the N-type and the P-type are electrically opposite to each other.
It should be noted that the native NMOS device refers to a device having a threshold voltage close to zero during normal operation, and provides various applications in circuit design, such as no voltage drop when used as a source follower, no head space (headroom) being sacrificed, and a buffer without dc voltage offset. This is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.

The P-type substrate 31 is, for example and without limitation, a P-type or N-type semiconductor P-type substrate. The P-type epitaxial layer 311 is formed on the P-type substrate 31, for example, by an epitaxial process. Part of the P-type epitaxial layer 311 is used to provide a conduction current path for the native NMOS device 30 during a turn-on operation.
With continued reference to fig. 3, a first insulating region 321 and a second insulating region 322 are formed on the P-type epitaxial layer 311. The first insulating region 321 and the second insulating region 322 are used to define the operation region 32 between the first insulating region 321 and the second insulating region 322. The first insulating region 321 and the second insulating region 322 are, for example and without limitation, shallow trench isolation (shallow trench isolation, STI) structures as shown in fig. 3.
With continued reference to fig. 3, the first P-well 361 and the second P-well 362 are formed in the P-epi layer 311 by the same ion implantation process, and have a P-type conductivity.
