METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A COATING GRID FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTOR
The invention relates to field effect transistors with a covering grid, and in particular to the manufacturing methods for such transistors.
The increase in the performance of integrated circuits due to the miniaturization of field effect transistors is faced with a technological and scientific obstacle. One of the issues is the increase in static and dynamic power in integrated circuits. In order to reduce this power consumption, new architectures and new materials which will make it possible to obtain a low operating voltage are today intensively studied.
In particular, for technological nodes below 50 nm, the electrostatic control of the channel by the gate becomes a predominant operating parameter for the operation of the transistor. To improve this electrostatic control, various technologies of multi-gate transistors are the subject of developments, in particular the transistors with a covering gate. Furthermore, it is known to constrain the pMOS transistor channels in compression or the nMOS transistor channels in voltage according to their direction of conduction, so as to improve the mobility of the carriers in these channels.
A known manufacturing method for a pMOS transistor with a covering gate is as follows. A stack of nanowires is formed, comprising an alternation of silicon nanowires and silicon-germanium on a substrate, so as to obtain, for example, SiGe nanowires constrained in compression and relaxed silicon nanowires. A sacrificial grid is formed to cover the middle part of the stack of nanowires. Insulating spacers are also formed on either side of the sacrificial grid, to cover an intermediate middle part of the stack of nanowires. The channels of the transistor are intended to be formed in this middle part. The nanowire parts of the stack projecting beyond the spacers are not covered and are removed by etching. The SiGe nanowires are then relaxed and the silicon nanowires then undergo a stress in tension.
The part of the silicon-germanium nanowires placed under the spacers is removed by selective etching, so as to form cavities under these spacers. Internal spacers are then placed inside the cavities. By a silicon-germanium growth step by epitaxy, a source and a drain are formed on either side of the stack. The source and the drain formed by epitaxy are then in contact and in the continuity of the silicon nanowires which have been preserved under the sacrificial grid and the spacers. The source and the drain are then encapsulated in a passivation or encapsulation material.
ICGl 1050 EN Text Depot.docx
A groove is then formed at the sacrificial grid and the sacrificial grid is removed. The residual stack of nanowires is then discovered. By selective etching, the silicon-germanium nanowires are removed. A gate insulator is then deposited on the exposed part of the silicon nanowires, then a gate material is formed on the gate insulator to encapsulate the middle part of these nanowires. At the end of this manufacturing process, the silicon nanowires remain slightly stressed in voltage in the channel, which degrades the performance of the pMOS transistor.
Similarly, for an nMOS transistor of the sSOI type, or based on an SRB layer, a similar manufacturing process results in a relaxation of the silicon of the channel, despite an initial voltage prestress in the silicon nanowires. The performance of such an nMOS transistor is therefore degraded.
The subsequent formation of the source and the drain by epitaxy does not make it possible to obtain the desired stress in the channel zone of the silicon nanowires.
There is therefore a need for a method of manufacturing a field effect transistor with a coated gate, intended to maintain significant prestressing in its channels. The invention aims to solve one or more of these drawbacks. The invention thus relates to a method for manufacturing a field effect transistor with a covering gate, comprising the steps of:
-provide a substrate surmounted by a superposition of first to third nanowires each having a middle part and first and second ends on either side of the middle part along a longitudinal axis, each of these nanowires being formed of semi-material conductive, said second nanowire being disposed between the first and third nanowires and being formed in a semiconductor material different from that of the first nanowire and different from that of the third nanowire, so that the second nanowire is subjected to mechanical stress according to its longitudinal axis, the middle part of the first to third nanowires being covered by a sacrificial grid;
-forming recesses by removing an intermediate portion of the first and third nanowires between their first end and their middle portion and by removing an intermediate portion of the first and third nanowires between their second end and their middle portion, retaining the superposition first to third nanowires at the first and second ends and under the sacrificial grid;
forming an electrical insulator in said recesses formed and around the second nanowire;
-removing said sacrificial grid and removing the middle part of the first and third nanowires;
ICG11050 EN Text Depot.docx
-forming a gate electrode coating the middle part of said second nanowire.
The invention also relates to the following variants. Those skilled in the art will understand that each of the characteristics of the following variants can be combined independently with the above characteristics, without however constituting an intermediate generalization.
According to a variant, the removal of the intermediate parts of the first and third nanowires comprises a step of ion implantation in these intermediate parts then a step of selective etching of these parts.
According to another variant, the withdrawal of the intermediate parts of the first and third nanowires comprises an etching of said intermediate parts of the first nanowires according to their crystal planes.
According to yet another variant, said first to third nanowires supplied include silicon, the first and third nanowires including a proportion of germanium greater than that of the second nanowire.
According to another variant, the first nanowires supplied are made of Si (ix) Ge x with 0.2 <x <0.6.
According to yet another variant, the method further comprises a step of doping the second nanowire in an intermediate part between its first end and its middle part and in an intermediate part between its second end and its middle part, after the stage of supply of the substrate and prior to the step of removing the sacrificial grid.
According to a variant, the method comprises, between the step of forming the electrical insulator and the step of removing the sacrificial grid, the steps of:
- removal of the first and second ends of the first and third nanowires;
-deposition of a semiconductor material different from that of the first to third nanowires, by growth by epitaxy from the first and second ends of the second nanowire, so as to increase the amplitude of the mechanical stress in the middle part of the second nanowire.
According to yet another variant, said material deposited by epitaxy is SiC doped in situ with phosphorus.
According to another variant, said first to third nanowires supplied have a thickness at most equal to 15 nm.
According to yet another variant, the substrate provided comprises sacrificial spacers covering part of the first to third nanowires on either side of the sacrificial grid, the method further comprising a step of removing the sacrificial spacers before the formation of the recesses .
According to a variant, said parts removed from the first and third nanowires each have a length of between 3 and 15 nm.
ICG11050 EN Text Depot.docx
According to another variant, the method comprises a step of forming spacers coating said electrical insulator on either side of the middle part of the second nanowire.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge clearly from the description given below, by way of indication and in no way limitative, with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
FIGS. 1 to 22 illustrate a transistor during different stages of its manufacturing process, according to an example of a first embodiment of the invention;
FIGS. 23 to 35 illustrate a transistor during different stages of its manufacturing process, according to an example of a second embodiment of the invention.
The invention proposes a method for manufacturing a field effect transistor with a covering grid, which makes it possible on the one hand to form internal spacers when nanowires are kept between a source zone and a drain zone passing through a channel zone, and on the other hand making it possible to maintain a high preload inside these channel zones. In general, a voltage preload will be maintained for the channel region of an nMOS transistor and a compression preload for the channel region of a pMOS transistor.
Figures 1 to 22 illustrate a transistor 1 at different stages of its manufacturing process, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. The steps described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 are known per se to those skilled in the art and given by way of nonlimiting example for obtaining a superposition of nanowires with a sacrificial grid.
In FIG. 1, there is a substrate, illustrated in perspective. The substrate can for example be of the sSOI type (for strained silicon on insulator) or of SRB type (for substrate with relaxed buffer layer), in a manner known per se. The substrate is here of semiconductor on insulator type. The substrate here comprises an insulating layer 100, covered with a semiconductor layer 101. The semiconductor layer 101 is here a relaxed SiGe layer. For an SRB type substrate, the insulating layer 100 will for example be replaced by a relaxed SiGe layer covered with a silicon layer typically comprising a biaxial tension stress.
In Figure 2, we proceeded to the formation of a superposition of layers
102 to 107 on the layer of SiGe 101. An alternation of layers of SiGe 101, 103, 105 and 107 and of layers of silicon 102, 104 and 106 has thus been formed.
ICG11050 EN Text Depot.docx layers 102 to 107 are typically formed by sequential epitaxy deposition steps. In a manner known per se, due to the differences in lattice parameters between the silicon layers 102, 104 and 106, and the SiGe layers 101, 103, 105 and 107, a voltage stress is induced in the Si layers 102, 104 and 106.
The thickness of the layers 101, 103, 105 and 107 is for example between 5 and 15 nm, preferably at most 10 nm. This thickness is for example 7 nm. The thickness of the layers 102, 104 and 106 is for example between 5 and 15 nm, preferably at most 10 nm. This thickness is for example 9 nm.
In FIG. 3, a mask 2 has been formed on the superposition of the layers 101 to 107, for example by photolithography. In FIG. 4, the layers 101 to 107 were etched, so as to form superpositions or stacks of adjacent nanowires. Each superposition or stack of nanowires comprises a superposition of nanowires 11 to 17. The nanowires 11 to 17 extend in a longitudinal direction, and thus have a length at least twice greater than their width or their height. The nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17 are here in SiGe, for example
If (ix) Ge x with 0.2 <x <0.6. We can for example take the value x = 0.3. The nanowires 12, 14 and 16 are here made of silicon. Mask 2 has been removed from the stacks. The width of each stack is for example between 10 and 50 nanometers. The nanowire stacks here comprise 7 superimposed nanowires. A different number of superimposed nanowires can of course be used. The height of the nanowire stacks is for example between 30 and 100 nanometers.
In FIG. 5, a sacrificial grid 31 has been formed for each of the nanowire stacks. Each sacrificial grid 31 coats the middle part of a respective stack of nanowires. The sacrificial grid 31 comprises for example a protective layer with a thickness of between 1 nm and 3 nm of S1O2 in contact with the nanowires, covered with a layer of Poly Si. The sacrificial grid 31 can also be formed (so nonlimiting) with a single layer of SiO2. The process for forming and shaping each sacrificial grid 31 is known per se. The gate length of a transistor to be formed is defined by the length over which a sacrificial gate 31 coats a respective stack of nanowires.
In FIG. 6, sacrificial spacers 32 and 33 have been formed, on either side of each of the sacrificial grids 31. The sacrificial spacers 32 each coat a respective stack of nanowires at its middle part, on one side a respective sacrificial grid 31. The sacrificial spacers 33 each coat a respective stack of nanowires at the level of
ICG11050 FR Depot Texte.docx its middle part, on the other side of a respective sacrificial grid 31. The process for forming and shaping each sacrificial spacer 32,33 is known per se. The width of each of the sacrificial spacers 32 or 33 is for example between 3 and 15 nm. The sacrificial spacers 32,33 are for example made of dielectric material. The sacrificial spacers 32 or 33 are for example formed from SiN, SiOCH, or SiBCN. The ends of the nanowire stacks remain exposed.
In FIG. 7, the ends of the nanowires have been encapsulated in an encapsulating material 34, according to a deposition process known per se. Access is provided to the upper face of the sacrificial grids 31 and to the upper face of the sacrificial spacers 32 and 33. FIG. 8 is a view in longitudinal section at one of the stacks of nanowires. At this stage, the nanowires 11 to 17 are stored in their entirety, under the passivation material 34, under the sacrificial spacers 32 and 33, and under the sacrificial grid 31. Due to the continuity of these nanowires between their ends, on the entire stack retains the voltage stresses induced in the silicon nanowires 12, 14, 16 and 18.
In FIG. 9, a step of removing the sacrificial spacers 32 and 33 is carried out. This removal is here carried out by selective etching of the sacrificial spacers 32 and 33. For sacrificial spacers 32 and 33 formed in SiN, the removal can for example be produced by wet etching with orthophosphoric acid (H3PO4). Grooves 321 and 331 are thus formed on either side of each of the sacrificial grids 31. As better illustrated in FIG. 10, an intermediate middle part of the stacks of nanowires is thus exposed, on either side of the sacrificial grids 31.
In Figure 11, the exposed parts of the nanowires plumb with the grooves 321 and 331 are here the subject of an ion implantation, other methods of chemical consumption being detailed below. One can for example carry out an ion implantation of silicon, in order to make the exposed SiGe amorphous, or at least to make it rich in defects. The ion implantation here aims to make amorphous or modify the crystal lattice of the SiGe nanowires 11,13,15 and 17, plumb with the grooves 321 and 331. Each nanowire 11 to 17 is then dissociated between:
a first end housed under the passivation material 34. This first end is not impacted (or so marginally) by the ion implantation step;
an intermediate part exposed in the groove 321. This intermediate part corresponds to the reference 112 for the SiGe nanowire 11. This intermediate part corresponds to the reference 162 for the silicon nanowire 16;
ICG11050 EN Text Depot.docx
an intermediate part of the channel housed under the sacrificial grid 31. This intermediate part is not impacted (or then marginally) by the ion implantation step. This intermediate part corresponds to the reference 113 for the SiGe 11 nanowire. This intermediate part corresponds to the reference 163 for the silicon nanowire 16;
an intermediate part exposed in the groove 331. This intermediate part corresponds to the reference 114 for the SiGe nanowire 11. This intermediate part corresponds to the reference 164 for the silicon nanowire 16;
a second end housed under the passivation material 34. This second end is not impacted (or only marginally) by the ion implantation step. This second end corresponds to the reference 115 for the SiGe 11 nanowire. This second end corresponds to the reference 165 for the silicon nanowire 16.
The areas of SiGe having been the subject of an ion implantation then become particularly sensitive to a subsequent etching, which will be selective. The ion implantation here takes advantage of the different amorphization thresholds for silicon and germanium. The ion implantation thus makes it possible to carry out an amorphization of the intermediate parts of the SiGe nanowires, without leading to an amorphization of the intermediate parts of the silicon nanowires.
In order to achieve an ion implantation of the intermediate parts of the SiGe nanowires at different levels of the stack, the ion implantation can be carried out in several stages, with different ionization energies. The ionization energies will for example be designed to present a peak of defects at the level of a respective intermediate portion targeted in a SiGe nanowire. We can for example consider carrying out an ion implantation from Si, P, Ar and Ge.
In FIG. 12, the intermediate portions of the SiGe nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17 are removed. This removal is carried out by selective etching of the SiGe made amorphous at the base of the grooves 321 and 331. The ends and the middle part of the SiGe nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17 remained masked by the passivation material 34 and the sacrificial grid 31 not having been altered by ion implantation, the etching of the SiGe of the intermediate parts being very selective. The intermediate parts removed from the SiGe nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17 give way to recesses. The nanowire 11 thus has recesses 116 and 117 on either side of its middle part 113. The nanowire 16 thus has recesses above and below its intermediate parts 162 and 164.
Advantageously, the intermediate parts of the silicon nanowires 12 and 16 can be doped after the intermediate parts of the SiGe nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17 have been removed. Appropriate doping of the
ICG11050 EN Depot Texte.docx intermediate parts of Silicon nanowires improves the electrical performance of the transistors to be formed. Such doping can for example be carried out by plasma immersion or by a deposit rich in ions which can diffuse in the intermediate parts of the silicon nanowires.
In FIG. 13, the recesses previously formed are at least partially filled with a dielectric material, so as to form internal spacers. Thus, the recesses 116 and 117 of the nanowire 11 are here replaced by internal spacers 118 and 119. Advantageously, it is also possible to fill the recesses formed only partially, so as to conserve an air spacer. Such partial filling may for example be carried out by ALD (for atomic layer deposition, Atomic Layer Deposition in English). Such air spacers reduce the dielectric constant of the spacers. Such partial filling still makes it possible to maintain a material between the air and the middle part under the grid to avoid filling this cavity during subsequent steps. Each intermediate part of a silicon nanowire 12, 14 or 16 is thus disposed between two internal spacers in a direction normal to the substrate 100. The internal spacers are made of dielectric, for example a dielectric with a low dielectric constant (typically less than 4 ). The internal spacers are for example made of SiBCN or SiOCH. The internal spacers are typically formed from a material whose etching is very selective compared to the other materials used for the formation of the transistor (for example polysilicon and TiN for the gate, S1O2 for a passivation / encapsulation material, etc.). ).
In FIGS. 14 and 15, the intermediate parts of the nanowires and the dielectric spacers are coated in spacers 42 and 43, formed on either side of the sacrificial grid 31. The spacers 42 and 43 are advantageously made of dielectric with a low constant dielectric. The spacers 42 and 43 are for example made of SiBCN or SiOCH. From then on, an insulation was created between the sacrificial grid 31 and the ends of the nanowire stacks. As a variant, it is also possible to form the spacers 42 and 43 with the same material and during the same process phase as the internal spacers.
In FIGS. 16 and 17, the sacrificial grid 31 is removed, in order to provide a groove 311 and thus access to the middle parts of the nanowires 11 to 17. The removal of the sacrificial grid 31 is for example carried out by selective etching by relative to the material of the spacers 42 and 43. The removal of the sacrificial grid is for example carried out with an ammonia-based chemistry (for example TMAH, for removing for example a Poly-Si selectively with respect to an oxide which protects the nanowires if necessary, and with respect to the nitrides of the spacers if necessary.
ICGl 1050 EN Text Depot.docx
In FIGS. 18 and 19, a selective removal of the middle part of the nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17 is carried out, while preserving the middle part of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16. The step of selective removal of the middle part of the nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17 can be implemented by the selective etching process detailed previously for the intermediate parts of nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17. This thus produces selective removal of the middle part of nanowires 11, 13 , 15 and 17 in SiGe compared to the middle part of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 in Silicon.
The middle part of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 corresponds to the channel zones of the coating gate transistor during formation. For example, the middle part 113 of the nanowire 11 is replaced by a recess 110. This thus forms an access to all the faces of the middle parts of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16. The internal spacers 118 and 119, and the spacers 42 and 43 protect the intermediate middle parts of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 during this selective etching.
At the end of the removal of the intermediate middle part of the nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17, the ends of the nanowires 11 to 17 are preserved so that a longitudinal tensile stress is maintained in the middle part of the nanowires 12,14 and 16.
In FIG. 20, a grid insulator 44 is formed around the middle parts of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16. The grid insulator of each nanowire 12, 14 and 16 can for example comprise a layer of interfacial oxide in contact with the nanowire, surmounted by an oxide layer coating this interfacial layer. The coating oxide layer can for example be made of HfO2. The methods of forming gate insulator 44 are known per se to those skilled in the art.
In FIGS. 21 and 22, a coating grid 41 is formed by filling the recesses surrounding the intermediate parts of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 and the grid insulators 44. The coating grid 41 can for example be made so known per se by depositing a gate metal and / or by depositing highly doped polysilicon.
Due to the conservation of the ends of the nanowires 11 to 17 until the formation of the spacers 42,43 and of the grid 44, it is possible to maintain a significant tension stress in the middle parts of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 at this stage. of the manufacturing process. This middle part of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 corresponding to the channel area to be formed, the performance of an nMOS transistor thus formed is improved.
Alternatively, the value of the voltage stress can be increased in the middle parts of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16, in order to improve the electrical performance of the nMOS transistor.
ICG11050 EN Text Depot.docx
To this end, the manufacturing method described above can be implemented with reference to FIGS. 1 to 15.
In Figures 23 and 24, the passivation material 34 was removed, in order to expose the ends of the nanowires 11 to 17. The internal spacers, the spacers 42 and 43 and the sacrificial grid 31 are preserved.
In FIGS. 25 and 26, a step of removing the ends of the SiGe nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17 was carried out. This removal of the ends is carried out selectively with respect to the ends of the silicon nanowires 12, 14 and 16. and relative to the spacers and to the sacrificial grid 31. The ends of the silicon nanowires 12, 14 and 16 are then relaxed.
In FIGS. 27 and 28, a deposit 10 of SiC: P is formed by epitaxy on either side of the spacers 42 and 43. This deposit is formed around the ends of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16. The deposit 10 thus fills the recesses obtained during the selective withdrawal of the ends of the SiGe nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17. The presence of the ends of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 promote the growth of deposit 10 by epitaxy in several directions.
This deposition of SiC doped in situ with phosphorus makes it possible, on the one hand, to include N-type dopants in the source and the drain of the nMOS transistor to be formed. On the other hand, due to its lattice parameter, the growth by epitaxy of SiC from the ends of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 which remained exposed will induce a longitudinal tension stress in these nanowires 12, 14 and 16. The stress longitudinal in tension in the middle zone of nanowires 12, 14 and 16 (corresponding to the channel zone of the nMOS transistor to be formed) is then increased.
In FIGS. 29 and 30, the ends of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 and the deposit of 10 were encapsulated in a passivation material 34.
In FIGS. 31 and 32, the sacrificial grid 31 is removed, in order to provide a groove 312 and thus access to the middle parts of the nanowires 11 to 17. The removal of the sacrificial grid 31 is for example carried out by selective etching by relative to the material of spacers 42 and 43.
We then proceeded to a selective etching of the middle part of the nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17, keeping the middle part of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16. The middle part of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 (corresponds to the zones of channel of the covering grid transistor being formed) retains its longitudinal voltage stress. Due to the formation of recesses replacing the middle parts of the nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17, an access to all the faces of the middle parts of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 is thus formed. The internal spacers 118 and 119, and the spacers 42 and 43 make it possible to protect the intermediate parts of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 during this selective etching of the SiGe from the middle parts of the nanowires 11, 13, 15 and 17.
ICG11050 EN Text Depot.docx
In FIG. 33, a grid insulator 44 is formed around the middle parts of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16. The grid insulator of each nanowire 12, 14 and 16 can for example comprise a layer of interfacial oxide in contact with the nanowire, surmounted by an oxide layer coating this interfacial layer. The coating oxide layer can for example be made of HfOz.
In FIGS. 34 and 35, an enveloping grid 41 is formed by filling the recesses surrounding the middle parts of the nanowires 12, 14 and 16 and the grid insulators 44. The enveloping grid 41 can for example be made in a manner known per se by depositing a gate metal or by depositing highly doped polysilicon or TiN.
In the examples described, the intermediate parts of the SiGe nanowires were removed by ion implantation followed by etching. One can also consider removing the intermediate parts of sacrificial nanowires by etching along the crystalline planes of these nanowires. For example, chemical etching can be carried out having a fast etching speed along sparse crystal planes, and a low etching speed along denser crystal planes. It is possible, for example, to etch SiGe along crystalline planes with hydrochloric acid.
The example described includes a superposition of layers of silicon and silicon germanium in order to create channel zones stressed longitudinally in tension. However, it is also possible to envisage other types of semiconductor materials in this superposition, as soon as one of the materials is suitable for the formation of the channel of a transistor, that its superposition with the other material induces voltage prestresses. in the channel zone for an nMOS (or in compression for a pMOS), and that the two materials can be etched selectively with respect to each other. One can for example consider making a superposition of nanowires of III-V type materials, for example InAs and InGaAs. The nanowire overlap can include nanowires made of at least three different semiconductor materials.
The invention has essentially been described previously in its application to an nMOS transistor. The invention can also be applied to a pMOS transistor. For this, one can for example form a SiGe initially compressed, by growth of SiGe by epitaxy on relaxed Si (in Silicon on insulator or in solid substrate called Bulk), then a deposit of Si on this layer of SiGe, optionally followed by 'alternating new deposits. This is the middle part of the Si nanowires that will be removed, with preservation of the middle parts of the SiGe nanowires and their compressive stress.

In the example described above, the nanowires have a substantially square cross section. Other cross sections can of course be envisaged, for example ovoid, trapezoidal or rectangular. Nanowires in the form of nanowires can for example be used, and thus have a cross section in which the width is at least equal to the height.
In the example described above, the overlay includes seven nanowires. It is also possible to provide a superposition of any number of suitable nanowires, at least equal to 2.
