技术领域
本公开涉及半导体技术领域,尤其涉及一种半导体结构及半导体结构的制造方法。
背景技术
动态随机存储器(Dynamic Random Access Memory,DRAM)是计算机等电子设备中常用的半导体装置,包括用于存储数据的存储单元阵列,以及位于存储单元阵列***的***电路组成。每个存储单元通常包括晶体管(字线)、位线和电容器。晶体管(字线)上的字线电压能够控制晶体管的开启和关闭,从而通过位线能够读取存储在电容器中的数据信息,或者将数据信息写入到电容器中。
随着制造工艺的不断发展,MOS特征尺寸不断缩小,MOS器件的沟道横向电场强度是不断增强的。在半导体字线晶体管(NMOS)工作时,因为存在漏端电压(Vdd)和栅极电压(Vg)综合作用,导致在靠近漏极附近形成强电场,因此热载流子对器件的损伤主要发生在靠近漏极的氧化层中,会导致晶体管开关特性漂移以及器件可靠性严重下降。

具体实施方式
体现本公开特征与优点的典型实施例将在以下的说明中详细叙述。应理解的是本公开能够在不同的实施例上具有各种的变化,其皆不脱离本公开的范围,且其中的说明及附图 在本质上是作说明之用,而非用以限制本公开。
在对本公开的不同示例性实施方式的下面描述中,参照附图进行,附图形成本公开的一部分,并且其中以示例方式显示了可实现本公开的多个方面的不同示例性结构,***和步骤。应理解的是,可以使用部件,结构,示例性装置,***和步骤的其他特定方案,并且可在不偏离本公开范围的情况下进行结构和功能性修改。而且,虽然本说明书中可使用术语“之上”,“之间”,“之内”等来描述本公开的不同示例性特征和元件,但是这些术语用于本文中仅出于方便,例如根据附图中的示例的方向。本说明书中的任何内容都不应理解为需要结构的特定三维方向才落入本公开的范围内。
本公开的一个实施例提供了一种半导体结构,请参考图1,半导体结构包括:衬底10,衬底10包括隔离结构11和有源区12,有源区12包括第一类型的离子;沟槽20,沟槽20位于有源区12内,沟槽20的内表面包括相邻设置的反型掺杂层30和氧化层40,反型掺杂层30位于氧化层40的上方;字线50,字线50位于沟槽20内;其中,反型掺杂层30包括第二类型的离子,第一类型与第二类型相反。
本公开一个实施例的半导体结构通过在沟槽20的槽壁内形成有与有源区12掺杂类型相反的反型掺杂层30,从而形成浅结(即PN结)来固定有源区12,抵消部分漏端电压,改善了漏端耗尽区的峰值电场,进而改善热载流子隧穿,以此改善半导体结构的性能。
需要说明的是,反型掺杂层30用于形成沟槽20的侧壁,而氧化层40用于形成沟槽20的侧壁以及底壁,字线50填充在沟槽20内,以此形成埋入式字线50。
需要注意的是,掺杂类型相反可以理解为分别掺杂P型离子和N型离子,即掺杂Ⅲ族元素和Ⅴ族元素对应的P型离子和N型离子,对于第一类型的离子是P型离子还是N型离子,这与MOSFET的性质保持一致,即NMOS的第一类型就是N型离子,PMOS的第一类型就是P型离子。
具体的,衬底10可以为P型硅衬底或者N型硅衬底。
例如,在衬底10为N型时,即在硅衬底内注入N型离子(磷P或砷As等Ⅴ族元素离子)形成有源区12,第一类型的离子为N型离子,则第二类型的离子为P型离子(硼B或镓Ga等Ⅲ族元素离子),即在沟槽20的槽壁内注入P型离子形成反型掺杂层30,P型离子也可以是二氟化硼BF2。
或者,在衬底10为P型时,即在硅衬底内注入P型离子(硼B或镓Ga等Ⅲ族元素离子)形成有源区12,第一类型的离子为P型离子,则第二类型的离子为N型离子(磷P或砷As等Ⅴ族元素离子),即在沟槽20的槽壁内注入N型离子形成反型掺杂层30。
在一个实施例中,如图1和图2所示,衬底10内设置有多个有源区12,相邻两个隔离结构11之间填充有源区12,各个隔离结构11的深度可以均相同,也可以不同;结合图1可知,字线50跨过多个有源区12。其中,字线50为多个。
在一个实施例中,结合图1,多个有源区12排布成多排,且各排平行设置,而字线50跨过多排有源区12,相邻两排的相邻两个有源区12的侧部之间的距离较近,而一排中相邻两个有源区12的端部之间的距离较远。
在一个实施例中,有源区12包括源区和漏区,结合图2,相邻两个字线50之间为漏区,隔离结构11和字线50之间为源区。
在一个实施例中,隔离结构11可以包括氧化硅,如SIO2。
在一个实施例中,氧化层40可以包括SIO2。
在一个实施例中,氧化层40的厚度为3nm~8nm。
在一个实施例中,如图2所示,沟槽20的内表面还包括:保护层60,保护层60与反型掺杂层30相贴合,保护层60的底端与氧化层40的顶端之间夹持有反型掺杂层30。保护层60用于保护反型掺杂层30,防止在半导体结构的制造过程中对反型掺杂层30造成损伤。
需要说明的是,保护层60形成了沟槽20的侧壁,即保护层60覆盖反型掺杂层30的部分,从而使得未被覆盖的反型掺杂层30夹持于保护层60的底端与氧化层40的顶端之间,从而形成了沟槽20的侧壁。
在一个实施例中,保护层60可以是SIO2、SIN或二者的组合。
在一个实施例中,保护层60的厚度为3nm~10nm。
在一个实施例中,如图2所示,反型掺杂层30包括:侧壁段31,保护层60与侧壁段31相贴合;底壁段32,保护层60的底端与氧化层40的顶端之间夹持有底壁段32,侧壁段31与底壁段32相垂直;其中,保护层60、底壁段32以及氧化层40构成沟槽20的内表面。
反型掺杂层30由侧壁段31和底壁段32组成,保护层60完全覆盖侧壁段31,且保护层60的底端与底壁段32相贴合,从而使得保护层60、底壁段32以及氧化层40共同构成了沟槽20的内表面。
需要说明的是,反型掺杂层30以及氧化层40可以是形成于衬底10内,即反型掺杂层30可以通过向衬底10内注入第二类型的离子(第二类型的离子的注入剂量为5E13每平方厘米~1.5E14每平方厘米,第二类型的离子的注入能量为0.5KeV~5KeV)形成,而氧 化层40可以是通过原位水汽生成(In-Situ Steam Generation,ISSG)方法形成于衬底10内,而保护层60形成于衬底10表面,例如,保护层60可以通过采用物理气相沉积(Physical Vapor Deposition,PVD)工艺、化学气相沉积(Chemical Vapor Deposition,CVD)工艺或原子层沉积(Atomic Layer Deposition,ALD)工艺形成于衬底10上。
或者,反型掺杂层30可以通过向衬底10内注入第二类型的离子形成,而氧化层40形成于衬底10表面,例如,氧化层40可以通过采用物理气相沉积工艺、化学气相沉积工艺或原子层沉积工艺形成于衬底10上,相应的,保护层60形成于衬底10表面,例如,保护层60可以通过采用物理气相沉积工艺、化学气相沉积工艺或原子层沉积工艺形成于衬底10上。
在一个实施例中,保护层60的底端与底壁段32相贴合,氧化层40的顶端与底壁段32相贴合,从而使得保护层60、底壁段32以及氧化层40完整地构成了沟槽20的内表面。
在一个实施例中,保护层60的侧壁、底壁段32的侧壁以及氧化层40的侧壁朝向衬底10的投影相重合,即位于沟槽20内的字线50是一个截面积固定的结构。
具体的,例如,沟槽20为圆孔时,则沿圆孔的延伸方向,圆孔的直径保持不变,以此方便半导体结构的制造。
在一个实施例中,如图2所示,字线50包括:阻挡层51,阻挡层51位于氧化层40的表面;导电层52,导电层52位于阻挡层51的表面。阻挡层51的设置可以防止形成导电层52的导电材料的扩散。
在一个实施例中,如图2所示,半导体结构还包括:绝缘层53,绝缘层53位于阻挡层51和导电层52的上方,阻挡层51的顶端以及导电层52的顶端均与绝缘层53的底端相贴合。绝缘层53用于形成良好的绝缘结构。
在一个实施例中,阻挡层51可以包括Ta、Ti、Ru、TaN、TiN、RuTa、RuTaN、W或Ir等。阻挡层51可以是防止导电材料层扩散通过的任何其它材料。
在一个实施例中,阻挡层51的厚度可以为2nm~7nm。
在一个实施例中,导电层52可以是金属材料,例如,Cu、Al、W或其合金。
在一个实施例中,绝缘层53可以由包括氧化硅、氮化硅或其组合的材料形成,例如,绝缘层53可以是SIN、SION或SIO2。
在一个实施例中,阻挡层51覆盖氧化层40的侧壁与底壁,且阻挡层51的顶端所在平面低于保护层60的底端所在平面。
具体的,阻挡层51的顶端所在平面低于保护层60的底端所在平面10nm~20nm。
在一个实施例中,阻挡层51完全包覆导电层52的侧表面和底面,以此保证有效的阻挡作用。
在衣蛾实施例中,导电层52的顶端和阻挡层51的顶端不在同一个平面内,例如,导电层52的顶端高于阻挡层51的顶端。
在一个实施例中,阻挡层51的顶端与导电层52的顶端相平齐,即绝缘层53的底端为平面,以此与阻挡层51的顶端与导电层52的顶端可靠贴合。
具体的,结合图2进行分析,阻挡层51均设置在氧化层40上,即阻挡层51位于反型掺杂层30的下方,阻挡层51的顶端可以与氧化层40的顶端平齐,或者,阻挡层51的顶端低于氧化层40的顶端,因此,绝缘层53完全覆盖反型掺杂层30的底壁段32以及保护层60。

S101,提供具有隔离结构11和有源区12的衬底10,有源区12掺杂有第一类型的离子;

其中,反型掺杂层30掺杂有第二类型的离子,第一类型与第二类型相反。
本公开一个实施例的半导体结构的制造方法通过在沟槽20的槽壁内形成有与有源区12掺杂类型相反的反型掺杂层30,从而形成浅结(即PN结)来固定有源区12,抵消部分漏端电压,改善了漏端耗尽区的峰值电场,进而改善热载流子隧穿,以此改善半导体结构的性能。
需要说明的是,如图4所示,提供的衬底10为具有隔离结构11和有源区12的衬底10,即不考虑隔离结构11和有源区12的具体成型方法,直接在衬底10上形成沟槽20,并形成字线50。在形成沟槽20之前,可采用干法蚀刻或者化学机械研磨(Chemical Mechanical Polishing,CMP)平坦化衬底10。其中,衬底10的上表面可设置有一层保护结构,例如氧化层。
需要注意的是,字线50为埋入式字线。
