Definitions
- the present invention relates to process for forming epitaxial silicon on a silicon substrate.
- the invention relates to the formation of doped epitaxial silicon by depositing doped amorphous silicon on a silicon substrate and annealing the doped amorphous silicon to form doped epitaxial silicon.
- An “FET” is a field effect transistor.
- MOSFET also called an insulated-gate FET, or IGFET
- JFET junction-gate FET
- An FET has a control gate, and source and drain regions formed in a substrate.
- the control gate is formed above a dielectric insulator that is deposited over the area between the source and drain regions. As voltage is applied to the control gate, mobile charged particles in the substrate form a conduction channel in the region between the source and drain regions. Once the channel forms, the transistor turns “on” and current may flow between the source and drain regions.
- the conventional method of making a contact stud to the source-drain region of a MOSFET is to deposit an interlayer dielectric (ILD) after the MOSFET is fabricated on the substrate.
- ILD interlayer dielectric
- a contact hole is etched through the interlayer dielectric to the source-drain region.
- the contact hole is filled with doped polysilicon by a blanket deposition of doped polysilicon using chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
- CVD is a process for depositing a thin film of material onto a substrate by reacting the constituent elements in gaseous phase. CVD processes are used to produce thin, single-crystal films called epitaxial films.
- the polysilicon on top of the interlayer dielectric is selectively removed by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) or reactive ion etching (RTE).
- CMP chemical mechanical polishing
- RTE reactive ion etching
- the polysilicon in the contact holes forms a contact stud.
- the polysilicon is subsequently annealed to activate the dopant.
- Contact studs formed by this process have a high stud resistance, however, due to scattering and dopant segregation at grain boundaries of the polysilicon.
- the contact hole is filled with undoped monocrystalline silicon, which is doped by ion implantation and annealed to form epitaxial silicon.
- the monocrystalline silicon is deposited by vapor phase deposition at greater than 1,000°C using silane (SiH 4 ), dichlorosilane (SiH 2 Cl 2 ), or silicon tetrachloride (SiCl ) as the silicon source.
- silane SiH 4
- dichlorosilane SiH 2 Cl 2
- silicon tetrachloride SiCl
- U.S. Patent No. 5,824,586 issued to Wollesen et al. incorporated in this document by reference, discloses a method for manufacturing raised silicon source and drain junctions by depositing undoped amorphous silicon on a source-drain region, ion implanting to form the source and drain junctions, and annealing the amorphous silicon at an elevated temperature so that epitaxial growth takes place in the source-drain region. The remaining amorphous silicon is removed.
- this method requires a high temperature, use of this method with devices having small features is limited by the stringent thermal budget requirement of the device.
- the need to dope the silicon by ion implantation is undesirable because it introduces additional process steps.
- the method is difficult to use in a mass production environment.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,250,454 issued to Maszara discloses a method for the self- aligned thickening of the source and drain contact regions in which an amorphous silicon layer is deposited using sputtering, electron beam evaporation, or any type of vacuum deposition system. Subsequently, the amorphous silicon layer is heated to induce solid state epitaxial regrowth on the silicon substrate.
- the drawback of this method is the intrinsic problem of vacuum deposition: poor step coverage.
- the aspect ratio of contact holes to silicon substrate of deep submicron features is typically greater than three. It is extremely difficult, if possible at all, to fill such contact holes with amorphous silicon by vacuum deposition technique.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a process that is not limited by stringent thermal budget requirements.
- a related object is to conduct the process at relatively low temperatures.
- Another object is to avoid the problem of poor step coverage.
- An additional object is to reduce the contact resistance of the device produced according to the process.
- the present invention provides a process for forming doped, epitaxial, crystalline silicon on a monocrystalline silicon substrate.
- the process produces good contact fill but does not introduce additional complexity to the fabrication process.
- the process comprises the steps of:
- This process allows the low-temperature formation of doped, crystalline, epitaxial silicon in a device opening having a very high aspect ratio.
- the doped epitaxial silicon can partially or completely replace polycrystalline silicon with monocrystalline silicon, producing a drastic reduction in contact resistance.
- the process can also be used to form a raised source- drain MOSFET.
- Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating the sequential fabrication of a source or drain contact stud using the process of the invention

- Fig. 2 illustrates the structure shown in Fig. 1 after a layer of doped amorphous silicon is deposited on the surface of the device;
- Fig. 3 illustrates the structure shown in Fig. 2 after the excess doped amorphous silicon on top of the interlayer dielectric layer is selectively removed;
- Fig. 4 illustrates the structure shown in Fig. 3 after epitaxial growth has converted the doped amorphous silicon into doped crystalline epitaxial silicon;
- Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device comprising a silicon substrate, field oxide regions, source-drain regions, a gate region, a polysilicon gate formed on the gate region, gate sidewall spacers formed on either side of the gate region, and a doped amorphous silicon layer deposited on the device;
- Fig. 6 illustrates the structure shown in Fig. 5 after the doped amorphous silicon is annealed
- Fig. 7 illustrates the structure shown in Fig. 6 after the amorphous silicon has been removed.
- the invention is not limited to constructions of any particular shape. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the positions and configuration of the doped regions vary with the design of the semiconductor device and that alternate designs are encompassed by the invention.
- Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device 10, comprising a silicon substrate 12 of which a gate 14, which comprises a thin dielectric layer 16, a conductive layer 18, and a dielectric layer 20 as well as source and drain regions 22 have been fabricated.
- Thin dielectric layer 16 may be a layer of a dielectric material, such as silicon dioxide, having a thickness of about 100 A or less.
- Conductive layer 18 may be a layer of a conductive material, such as polycrystalline silicon, having a thickness of about 2000 A.
- Dielectric layer 20 may be a layer of a dielectric material, such as silicon nitride, having a thickness of about 2000 A. Preparation of semiconductor device 10 is conventional and can be effected by methods well known to those skilled in the art. As will be recognized by those skilled in the art, although the boundaries of silicon substrate 12 are not shown, the substrate typically comprises a number of devices and may comprise multilayer devices.
- Interlayer dielectric layer 24 may be any low dielectric constant material known in the art to be useful as a dielectric material, such as silicon dioxide, polyimide, an organic siloxane polymer, poly-arylene ether, carbon-doped silicate glass or silsesquioxane glass, spin-on glass, fluorinated or non- fluorinated silicate glass, or diamond-like amorphous carbon.
- Interlayer dielectric layer 24 can be deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), including plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), or spin coating.
- the thickness of interlayer dielectric layer 24 is typically about 0.2 to about 2.0 microns.
- a typical dielectric material is borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG).
- Contact hole 26 has been etched through interlayer dielectric layer 24 to source- drain region 22 by, for example, reactive ion etching (RIE).
- RIE reactive ion etching
- contact hole 26 is about 100 to 1,000 nm in diameter.
- contact hole 26 is about 250 nm in diameter.
- a layer of doped amorphous silicon 28 is deposited on the surface of the device.
- Deposition of doped silicon is conveniently conducted by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD).
- LPCVD is a method in which deposition gases are pyrolyzed in a LPCVD reactor to form the doped silicon using procedures well known to those skilled in the art.
- doped amorphous silicon using one or more of phosphorous trichloride, t-butyl phosphine, i-butyl phosphine, tetramethyl phosphate, and tetramethyl phosphate as the dopant and silane as the silicon source is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,877,753 issued to Freeman.
- In-situ doping of silicon using phosphine as the dopant and silane as the silicon source is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,256,566 issued to Bailey.
- the silicon is doped with arsenic or phosphorus ions.
- p-type conductivity is desired, the silicon is doped with boron ions.
- Deposition should be completed at a temperature at or below about 625 °C, preferably at or below 600°C. More preferably, deposition is completed at about 550°C, a pressure of about 300 mTorr, and a phosphine-to-silane ratio of about 0.0008 to form a phosphorus-doped amorphous silicon. Because doped amorphous silicon 28 is deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition, it fills contact hole 26 with good step coverage. For n-type conductivity, for example, the dopant level is typically about 1.2 x 10 20 phosphorus atoms/cm 3.
- CMP chemical mechanical polishing
- RLE reactive ion etching
- doped amorphous silicon 28 is annealed at a temperature sufficient to induce epitaxial crystallization of the doped amorphous silicon.
- Conventional annealing is conducted at a temperature between about 550°C and 1,000°C, generally between 800°C and 570°C, preferably at about 570°C, for about 5 minutes to 10 hours, to induce epitaxial growth of the doped amorphous silicon.
- Rapid thermal anneal is typically conducted at a temperature of about 1,000°C for 5 to 90 seconds.
- the crystalline structure of underlying source- drain region 22 provides the seed for the epitaxial crystal growth of doped amorphous silicon 28. Epitaxial growth converts doped amorphous silicon 28 into doped crystalline epitaxial silicon 30.
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device 110 comprising a silicon substrate 112, field oxide regions 132, source-drain regions 122, and a gate region 134 formed on substrate 112.

- the doped amorphous silicon is annealed as described above at a temperature sufficient to induce epitaxial crystallization of the doped amorphous silicon.
- the regions 140 of doped amorphous silicon layer 128 that are in contact with single crystal silicon undergo epitaxial growth.
- the region 142 in contact with polycrystalline silicon is converted to poly-crystalline silicon.
- the regions 144 not in contact with silicon, i.e., those regions over field oxide regions 132 or over gate spacer sidewalls 138, are not converted to epitaxial silicon, but remain as amorphous silicon.
- the amorphous silicon has been removed by, for example, a hydrofluoric acid etch.
- Raised epitaxial silicon regions 140 remain over source-drain regions 122.
- Raised epitaxial silicon regions 140 serve as a sacrificial thickness for subsequent suicide formation and as a material for the underlying junction.
- Processing of the device can be continued using well-known fabrication methods such as those disclosed at column 5, lines 33-56, of U.S. Patent No. 5,824,586 issued to Wollesen et al.
