Technical Field

The disclosure relates to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same, and in particular to a high-voltage semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same.

Description of the Related Art

High-voltage semiconductor devices are applied to integrated circuits with high voltage and high power. Traditional high-voltage semiconductor devices, for example a vertically diffused metal oxide semiconductor (VDMOS) or a laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS), are mainly used for devices with at least 18 volts or higher. The advantages of high-voltage device technology include cost effectiveness and process compatibility. High-voltage device technology has been widely used in display driver IC devices, power supply devices, power management fields, communications fields, autotronics fields, industrial control fields, etc.

High-voltage semiconductor devices utilize the gate voltage to generate a channel and to control the current between source and drain. To prevent punch-through between source and drain in traditional high-voltage semiconductor devices, the channel length of the transistor must be increased. However, as the channel length increases, the device size increases, such that the chip area increases and the on-resistance (R_on) of the transistor increases. In addition, since the mobility of the hole is lower than the electron, the on-resistance of the P-type high-voltage semiconductor devices is higher than the N-type high-voltage semiconductor devices, which is unfavorable for improving the P-type high-voltage semiconductor devices.

Therefore, a high-voltage semiconductor device structure which may solve the above problem is needed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The high-voltage semiconductor device of the present disclosure is described in detail in the following description. In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details and embodiments are set forth in order to provide as thorough understanding of the present disclosure. The specific elements and configurations described in the following detailed description are set forth in order to clearly describe the present disclosure. It will be apparent, however, that the exemplary embodiments set forth herein are merely for the purpose of illustration, and the inventive concept may be embodied in various forms without being limited to those exemplary embodiments. In addition, the drawings of different embodiments may use like and/or corresponding numerals to denote like and/or corresponding elements in order to clearly describe the present disclosure. However, the like and/or corresponding numerals in the drawings of different embodiments does not suggest any correlations between different embodiments. In addition, in this specification, expressions such as “first insulating bump disposed on/over a second material layer”, may indicate not only the direct contact of the first insulating bump and the second material layer, but also, a non-contact state with one or more intermediate layers between the first insulating bump and the second material layer. In the above situation, the first insulating bump may not directly contact the second material layer.

It should be noted that the elements or devices in the drawings of the present disclosure may be present in any form or configuration known to those skilled in the art. In addition, the expression “a layer overlying another layer”, “a layer is disposed above another layer”, “a layer is disposed on another layer” and “a layer is disposed over another layer” may indicate not only that the layer directly contacts the other layer, but also that the layer does not directly contact the other layer, there being one or more intermediate layers disposed between the layer and the other layer.

In addition, in this specification, relative expressions are used. For example, “lower”, “bottom”, “higher” or “top” are used to describe the position of one element relative to another. It should be appreciated that if a device is flipped upside down, an element at a “lower” side will become an element at a “higher” side.

The terms “about” and “substantially” typically mean +/−20% of the stated value, more typically +/−10% of the stated value and even more typically +/−5% of the stated value. The stated value of the present disclosure is an approximate value. When there is no specific description, the stated value includes the meaning of “about” or “substantially”.

The present disclosure utilizes a stack structure to decrease the electric field density in the channel, which in turn decreases the on-resistance (R_on) of the high-voltage semiconductor device.

Referring to FIG. 1A, a substrate 100 is provided first. The substrate 100 may include, but is not limited to, semiconductor substrate such as a silicon substrate. In addition, the substrate 100 may include an element semiconductor which may include germanium: compound semiconductor which may include silicon carbide, gallium arsenide, gallium phosphide, indium phosphide, indium arsenide and/or indium antimonide, alloy semiconductor which may include, SiGe alloy, GaAsP alloy, AlInAs alloy, AlGaAs alloy, GaInAs alloy, GaInP alloy and/or GaInAsP alloy, or a combination thereof. In addition, the substrate 100 may include semiconductor-on-insulator. In one embodiment, the substrate 100 may be an un-doped substrate. However, in other embodiments, the substrate 100 may be a lightly doped substrate such as a lightly doped P-type substrate or a lightly doped N-type substrate.

Next, an epitaxial layer 102 is formed over the substrate 100. The epitaxial layer 102 may include, but is not limited to, Si, Ge, Si/Ge, III-V compound, or a combination thereof. The epitaxial layer 102 may be formed by epitaxial growth step, such as metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD), metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE), plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD), remote plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RP-CVD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), hydride vapour phase epitaxy (HVPE), liquid phase epitaxy (LPE), chloride vapour phase epitaxy (CI-VPE), or any other suitable methods.

The epitaxial layer 1077 has a first conductive type. For example, when the first conductive type is P-type, the epitaxial layer 102 is a P-type epitaxial layer. The P-type epitaxial layer may be formed by adding borane (BH₃) or boron tribromide (BBr₃) into the reaction gas to perform in-situ doping when depositing the epitaxial layer 102. Alternatively, the un-doped epitaxial layer 102 may be deposited first, then the un-doped epitaxial layer 102 is ion-implanted by boron ion or indium ion.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, before the subsequent gate structure is formed, a high-voltage well region 104 may optionally be formed in the epitaxial layer 102. The high-voltage well region 104 has the second conductive type, and the first conductive type is different from the second conductive type. The high-voltage well region 104 may be formed by ion implantation. For example, when the second conductive type is N-type, the predetermined region for the high-voltage well region 104 may be implanted with phosphorous ions or arsenic ions to form the high-voltage well region 104.

Then a trench isolation structure 106 may be formed in the epitaxial layer 102 by a shallow trench isolation step to isolate an active region in the substrate 100. However, the active region may be isolated by any other suitable method. For example, the active region in substrate 100 may be isolated by a field oxide layer formed by a local-oxidation of silicon (LOCOS).

Next, referring to FIG. 3, before the subsequent gate structure is formed, a plurality of insulating bumps 108, for example the insulating bumps 108a and 108b, may optionally be formed over the epitaxial layer 102. The insulating bumps 108 are disposed between the subsequent gate structure and the drain region (namely the predetermined drain region 118P in FIG. 3) to further decrease the electric field density in the channel in the epitaxial layer 102 under the insulating bumps, which in turn decreases the on-resistance (R_on) of the device. This will be described in detail in the following description.

In addition, the substrate at the left side is the predetermined drain region 118P, and the insulating bump 108 which is closer to the predetermined drain region 118P has a greater height. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the insulating bump 108b, which is closer to the predetermined drain region 118P, has a greater height than the insulating bump 108a, which is farther from the predetermined drain region 118P. The height variation of the insulating bumps may further decrease the electric field density in the channel in the epitaxial layer 102 under the insulating bumps, which in turn decreases the on-resistance (R_on) of the device.

The insulating bumps 108 may include, but are not limited to, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride formed chemical vapor deposit (CVD), any other suitable insulating materials, or a combination thereof. The chemical vapor deposition may include, but is not limited to, low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), low temperature chemical vapor deposition (LTCVD), rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), or any other suitable method.

It should be noted that, although FIG. 3 merely illustrate two insulating bumps 108a and 108b, the high-voltage semiconductor device of the present disclosure may also include more than two insulating bumps, or only one insulating bump. Alternatively, the high-voltage semiconductor device of the present disclosure may not include any insulating bump. This will be described in detail in the following description. It should be noted that the exemplary embodiment set forth in FIG. 3 is merely for the purpose of illustration, the inventive concept may be embodied in various forms without being limited to the exemplary embodiments.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, a gate structure 112 is formed over the epitaxial layer 102, and a first conductive type doping region 110 is formed in the high-voltage well region 104. The gate structure 112 includes as gate dielectric layer 112a and a gate electrode 112b disposed over the gate dielectric layer 112a. In addition, the first conductive type doping region 110 is formed before the subsequent source region.

In one embodiment, a dielectric material layer (not shown, for forming the gate dielectric layer 112a) and a conductive material layer (not shown, for forming the gate electrode 112b) thereon may be blanketly deposited over substrate 100 sequentially. Then the predetermined region of the high-voltage well region 104 (or the epitaxial layer 102) for forming the first conductive type doping region 110 is exposed from the dielectric material layer and the conductive material layer through photolithography and etch steps. Next, the first conductive type doping region 110 is formed by performing ion implantation. Subsequently, the gate dielectric layer 112a and the gate electrode 112b are respectively formed from the dielectric material layer and the conductive material layer by patterning the above two layers through another photolithography and etch steps.

The material of the dielectric mater 41 layer (i.e. the material of the gate dielectric layer 112a) may include, but is not limited to, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon nitride, high-k material, any other suitable dielectric material, or a combination thereof. The high-k material may include, but is not limited to, metal oxide, metal nitride, metal silicide, transition metal oxide, transition metal nitride, transition metal silicide, transition metal oxynitride, metal aluminate, zirconium silicate, zirconium aluminate. For example, the material of the high-k material may include, but is not limited to, LaO, AlO, ZrO, TiO, Ta₂O₅, Y₂O₃, SrTiO₃(STO), BaTiO₃(BTO), BaZrO, HfO₂, HfO₃, HfZrO, HfLaO, HfSiO, HfSiON, LaSiO, AlSiO, HfTaO, HfTiO, HfTaTiO, HfAlON, (Ba,Sr)TiO₃(BST), Al₂O₃, any other suitable high-k dielectric material, or a combination thereof. The dielectric material layer may be formed by the previously described chemical vapour deposition or spin-on coating.

The material of the conductive material layer (i.e. the material of the gate electrode 112b) may include, but is not limited to, amorphous silicon, poly-silicon, one or more metal, metal nitride, conductive metal oxide, or a combination thereof. The metal may include, but is not limited to, molybdenum tungsten, titanium, tantalum, platinum, or hafnium. The metal nitride may include, but is not limited to, molybdenum nitride, tungsten nitride, titanium nitride or tantalum nitride. The conductive metal oxide may include, but is not limited to, ruthenium oxide or indium tin oxide. The conductive material layer may be formed by the previous described chemical vapour deposition (CVD), sputtering, resistive thermal evaporation, electron beam evaporation, or any other suitable methods. For example, in one embodiment, the amorphous silicon conductive material layer or poly-silicon conductive material layer may be deposited and formed by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition at about 525° C.˜650° C. The thickness of the amorphous silicon conductive material layer or poly-silicon conductive material may range from about 1000 Å to 10000 Å.

Then referring to an insulating sidewall layer 114 is formed over the side ails of the gate structure 112. In some embodiments, an insulating layer, for example silicon oxide or silicon nitride, with a thickness ranging from about 200 Å to 2000 Å may be deposited by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition or plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition at about 350° C.˜850° C. Alternatively, when the insulating sidewall layer 114 is a composite sidewall layer, more than one insulating layer may be deposited. After the deposition, SF₆, CF₄, CHF₃ or C₂F₆ are used as an etchant and an anisotropic etching is performed by a reactive ion etching step to form the insulating sidewall layer 114 over the sidewalls of the gate structure 112.

Still referring to FIG. 5, after the insulating sidewall layer 114, a source region 116 and a drain region 118 are formed. The source region 116 and the drain region 118 are disposed in the epitaxial layer 102 at opposite sides of the gate structure 112 respectively. Specifically, the source region 116 is disposed in the first conductive type doping region 110, and the drain region 118 is disposed in the region of the high-voltage well region 104 where no first conductive type doping region 110 is formed in. The source region 116 and the drain region 118 may be formed by ion implantation. In addition, the source region 116 may include a second conductive type source region 116a and a first conductive type source region 116b.

Next, referring to FIGS. 6-7, a stack structure 120 is formed between the gate structure 112 and the drain region 118, The stack structure 120 includes a sequentially stacked blocking layer 120a, an insulating layer 120b and a conductive layer 120c. The conductive layer 120c is electrically connected to the source region 116 or the gate structure 112 through a subsequent interconnection structure such that the stack structure 120 may decrease the electric field density of the channel CH in the epitaxial layer 102 under the stack structure 120, which in turn decreases the on-resistance (R_on) of the high-voltage semiconductor device.

In the stack structure 120, the insulating layer 120b is disposed over the blocking layer 120a, and the conductive layer 120c is disposed over the insulating layer 120b. In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 6, the blocking layer 120a is formed over the epitaxial layer 102 between the gate structure 112 and the drain region 118 first. The blocking layer 120a conformally covers a portion of the insulating bump 108b and a portion of the gate structure 112, and completely covers the insulating bump 108a. The blocking layer 120a is used to cover the portion of the gate structure 112 where the formation of metal silicide is undesired. Therefore, the portion of the gate structure 112 covered by the blocking layer 120a will not contact metal to form metal silicide in the subsequent metal silicidation step. The material of the blocking layer 120a may include, but is not limited to, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), any other suitable insulating materials, or a combination thereof.

Then, a metal silicidation step may optionally be performed to form a metal silicide layer 122 at the exposed surface of the source region 116, the drain region 118 and the gate structure 112. The metal silicide layer 122 may further decrease the on-resistance of the device. The material of the metal silicide layer 122 may include, but is not limited to, nickel silicide, cobalt silicide, tungsten silicide, titanium silicide, tantalum silicide, platinum silicide or erbium silicide.

Next, Referring to FIG. 7, the insulating layer 120b is formed over the blocking layer 120a. The insulating layer 120b is used to insulate the conductive layer 120c from the blocking layer 120a and the epitaxial layer 102 thereunder. The material of the insulating layer 120b may include, but is not limited to, oxide, nitride, oxynitride, low-k material, any other suitable insulating material, or a combination thereof. In addition, the insulating layer 120b may be formed by the previous described chemical vapor deposition.

Subsequently, the conductive layer 120c is formed over the insulating layer 120b to complete the stack structure 120. The material of the conductive layer 120c may include, but is not limited to, metal, metal oxide, metal nitride, metal alloy, metal silicide, any other suitable conductive material, or a combination thereof. In addition, the stack structure 120 conformally covers a portion of the gate structure 112. According to the previous description, the conductive layer 120c enable the stack structure 120 to decrease the electric field density of the channel CH in the epitaxial layer 102 under the stack structure 120, which in turn decreases the on-resistance of the high-voltage semiconductor device.

In addition, since the distance from the conductive layer 120c of the stack structure 120 to the channel CH in the epitaxial layer 102 may be varied and increased due to the insulating bumps 108a and 108b, the effect of the conductive layer 120c on the electric field in the channel CH may be varied. Therefore, the insulating bumps 108a and 108b may further decrease the electric field density of the channel CH in the epitaxial layer 102 under the insulating bumps 108a and 108b, which in turn decreases the on-resistance of the device. Furthermore, as the insulating bump 108 closer to the drain region 118 has a greater height, the effect of the conductive layer 120c on the electric field in the channel CH may vary continuously; therefore, the electric field density of the channel CH in the epitaxial layer 102 and the on-resistance of the device may be further decreased.

It should be noted that although the stack structure 120 in FIG. 7 partially covers the insulating bump 108b, and completely covers the insulating bump 108a, those skilled in the art will appreciate that when the high-voltage semiconductor device of the present disclosure includes more insulating bumps 108, the stack structure 120 partially covers the insulating bump 108 which is most adjacent to the drain region 118 and completely covers other the insulating bumps 108. It should be noted that the exemplary embodiment set forth in FIG. 7 is merely for the purpose of illustration, and the inventive concept may be embodied in various forms without being limited to the exemplary embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 8, an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer 124 is formed.

The interlayer dielectric layer 124 may be formed by the previously described chemical vapour deposition or spin-on coating and patterning process.

Next, an interconnection structure 126 is formed in the interlayer dielectric layer 124 to form the high-voltage semiconductor device 200. The material of the interconnection structure 126 may include, but is not limited to, Cu, Al, W, doped poly-Si, any other suitable conductive materials, or a combination thereof. In the embodiment show in FIG. 8, the conductive layer 120c is electrically connected to the source region 116 through the interconnection structure 126, and the conductive layer 120c is electrically isolated from the gate structure 112. However, in other embodiments, the conductive layer 120c electrically connects the gate structure 112 through the interconnection structure 126, and the conductive layer 121c is electrically isolated from the source region 116. This will be described in detail in the following description.

The conductive layer 120c electrically connects the source region 116 or the gate structure 112.
