鳍形态改善方法Fin shape improvement method

技术领域Technical Field

本发明涉及半导体技术领域,尤其涉及一种鳍形态改善方法。The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a method for improving fin morphology.

背景技术Background technique

随着半导体器件特征尺寸按摩尔定律等比缩小,芯片集成度不断提高,出现了众多负面效应使传统的平面型MOS管发展到22nm时遇到了瓶颈,尤其是短沟道效应(SCE)显著增大,导致器件关态电流急剧增加;从16/14nm起,鳍形(FIN)结构的引入增大了栅围绕沟道的面,加强了栅对沟道的控制,从而有效缓解平面器件中出现的短沟道效应。As the characteristic size of semiconductor devices shrinks proportionally according to Moore's law and the chip integration continues to increase, many negative effects have emerged, causing the traditional planar MOS tube to encounter a bottleneck when it developed to 22nm, especially the short channel effect (SCE) increased significantly, resulting in a sharp increase in the device's off-state current; from 16/14nm, the introduction of the fin structure increased the area around the channel by the gate, strengthened the control of the gate over the channel, and effectively alleviated the short channel effect in planar devices.

FIN干法刻蚀过程中,高能等离子体会对FIN表面造成破坏,以及出现FIN表面粗糙度过大和FIN侧面弯曲不平的现象,如图1和图2所示。在鳍型场效应晶体管(Fin Field-Effect Transistor,FinFET)中,驱动电流沿鳍结构的垂直侧壁流动,因此,侧壁的表面质量对可靠性和器件的电性能有很大的影响。粗糙的侧壁会导致载流子迁移率和寿命降低,电流驱动降低,亚阈值摆动退化,泄漏电流和低频噪声增加。During the FIN dry etching process, high-energy plasma can damage the FIN surface, and the FIN surface roughness is too large and the FIN side is uneven, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. In the Fin Field-Effect Transistor (FinFET), the driving current flows along the vertical sidewalls of the fin structure. Therefore, the surface quality of the sidewalls has a great impact on the reliability and electrical performance of the device. Rough sidewalls can lead to reduced carrier mobility and lifetime, reduced current drive, degradation of subthreshold swing, and increased leakage current and low-frequency noise.

因此,有必要提供一种新型的鳍形态改善方法以解决现有技术中存在的上述问题。Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new method for improving fin morphology to solve the above problems existing in the prior art.

Referring to FIG2 , two fin structures 102 with curved sidewalls are provided on a substrate 101, and each of the fin structures 102 has a hard mask 103 on its upper side, and the materials of the hard mask from top to bottom are silicon oxide 103, silicon nitride 104, and silicon oxide 103.
