Description
BACKGROUND

Technical Field


The disclosure relates to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same, and in particular to a field effect transistor and a method for manufacturing the same.


Description of the Related Art


Junction field effect transistors (JFET) have been mostly used for analog switches and signal amplifiers, and especially for low noise amplifiers.


For a field effect transistor, an electric field near a carrier channel is mostly changed by controlling a signal (or bias of a gate), resulting in the change of the channel property and current property (between a source and a drain). Thus, the field effect transistor can be used for voltage controlled variable resistance, voltage controlled current source (VCCS), etc. The channel property and current property of the junction field effect transistor is changed by changing the width of the depletion region in the PN junction between the gate and the source/drain using the principle, whereby the function of the width of the deletion and the voltage is reversed.


Decreasing the gate voltage would increase the depletion region in the PN junction. If the gate voltage is low enough, all the channel is depleted and therefore no current flows from drain to source. The channel which is completely depleted is referred to as being pinched off. The gate voltage at which this effect occurs is referred to as the pinch-off voltage (VP). The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device with low and adjustable the pinch-off voltage and a cost-effective method for manufacturing this semiconductor device.

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 use of like and/or corresponding numerals in the drawings of different embodiments does not suggest any correlation between different embodiments. In addition, in this specification, expressions such as “first insulating bump disposed on/over a second material layer”, may indicate the direct contact of the first insulating bump and the second material layer, or it may indicate 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 be in direct contact with 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 that the layer is in direct contact with the other layer, or that the layer is not in direct contact with 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 that is “lower” will become an element that is “higher”.


The terms “about” and “substantially” typically mean+/−20% of the stated value, more typically +/−10% of the stated value, more typically +/−5% of the stated value, more typically +/−3% of the stated value, more typically +/−2% of the stated value, more typically +/−1% of the stated value and even more typically +/−0.5% of the stated value.

In addition, the unique configuration of the source region, drain region, gate region and channel realizes a semiconductor device with low and adjustable the pinch-off voltage.



FIGS. 1-5C are cross-sectional views or top views of an example semiconductor device at various manufacturing stages in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1A, a substrate 100 is provided. The substrate 100 includes a top surface 100A and a bottom surface 100B.


The substrate 100 may include, but is not limited to, an element semiconductor such as silicon or germanium with single-crystal structure, poly-crystal structure or amorphous structure, a compound semiconductor which may include amorphous silicon, polycrystalline silicon, indium gallium zinc oxide, gallium nitride, silicon carbide, gallium arsenic, gallium phosphide, indium phosphide, indium arsenide or indium antimonide, an 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 some embodiments, the substrate 100 may further include an epitaxial layer (not shown) over the aforementioned semiconductor. The epitaxial layer may include, but is not limited to, Si, Ge, Si/Ge, III-V compound, or a combination thereof. The epitaxial layer may be formed by an epitaxial growth step, such as metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE), plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), remote plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RP-CVD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE), liquid phase epitaxy (LPE), chloride vapor phase epitaxy (Cl-VPE), or any other suitable method.


Next, a doped isolation region 102 and a well region 104 are formed in the substrate 100. The well region 104 is formed over the doped isolation region 102. The well region 104 has a first conductive type. The doped isolation region 102 may have the first conductive type or a second conductive type. The first conductive type is different from the second conductive type.


The well region 104 may be formed by ion implantation. For example, when the first conductive type is N-type, the predetermined region for the well region 104 may be implanted with phosphorous ions or arsenic ions to form the well region 104.


It should be noted that, unless specifically defined as “lightly doped” or “heavily doped”, the doped region has impurity concentration of above about 1014/cm3 to about 1016/cm3. In other words, in some embodiments, the well region 104 may have impurity concentration of above about 1014/cm3 to about 1016/cm3. One skilled in the art will recognize, however, that “doped region” is a term of art that depends upon the specific device type, technology generation, minimum feature size, and the like. It is intended, therefore, that the term be interpreted in light of the technology being evaluated and not be limited to the described embodiments.


Subsequently, FIG. 2B is a top view of the substrate 100 in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional view along line 2A-2A′ in FIG. 2B in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, an isolation structure 106 is formed in the substrate 100. The isolation structure 106 surrounds an active region 108 in the well region 104. The isolation structure 106 may include, but is not limited to, a shallow trench isolation 106.


The isolation structure 106 may be formed with the following steps. First, a trench is formed at the predetermined region for the isolation structure 106. The trench may be formed by an etch process. The etch process may include wet etch, dry etch, or a combination thereof. The wet etch may include, but is not limited to, immersion etching, spray etching, or any other suitable etch process, or a combination thereof. The dry etch may include, but is not limited to, capacitively coupled plasma etching, inductively-coupled plasma etching, helicon plasma etching, electron cyclotron resonance plasma etching or any other suitable dry etch process, or a combination thereof.

Subsequently, FIG. 3B is a top view of the substrate 100 in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, and FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view along line 3A-3A′ in FIG. 3B in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, a source region 110 and a drain region 112 in the active region 108 and in the well region 104. The source region 110 and drain region 112 have the first conductive type and may be heavily doped.


In the described embodiments, the term “heavily doped” means an impurity concentration of above about 1017/cm3. One skilled in the art will recognize, however, that “heavily doped” is a term of art that depends upon the specific device type, technology generation, minimum feature size, and the like. It is intended, therefore, that the term be interpreted in light of the technology being evaluated and not be limited to the described embodiments.


The source region 110 and drain region 112 may be formed by ion implantation. For example, when the first conductive type is N-type, the predetermined region for the source region 110 and drain region 112 may be implanted with phosphorous ions or arsenic ions to form the source region 110 and drain region 112.


In addition, also referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, a second conductive type first doped region 114 is formed in the well region 104. In addition, the second conductive type first doped region 114 is disposed along a periphery of the active region 108, as shown in FIG. 3B. The second conductive type first doped region 114 has the second conductive type and may be heavily doped.


The second conductive type first doped region 114 may be formed by ion implantation. For example, when the second conductive type is P-type, the predetermined region for the second conductive type first doped region 114 may be implanted with boron ion, indium ion or boron difluoride ion (BF3+) to form the second conductive type first doped region 114.


In addition, in some embodiments, the second conductive type first doped region 114 may be in direct contact with the isolation structure 106. More specifically, when viewed from the top view such as FIG. 3B, the second conductive type first doped region 114 may be disposed along the four sides of the isolation structure 106 and may be in direct contact with the four sides of the isolation structure 106.


In addition, the isolation structure 106 has a first depth D1, the second conductive type first doped region 114 has a second depth D2, and the source region 110 and drain region 112 have a third depth D3. In some embodiments, the first depth D1 is greater than the second depth D2, and the second depth D2 is greater than the third depth D3 (D1>D2>D3).


Subsequently, FIG. 4B is a top view of the substrate 100 in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, and FIG. 4A is a cross-sectional view along line 4A-4A′ in FIG. 4B in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 4A, a second conductive type second doped region 116 is formed in the well region 104 and under the source region 110, the drain region 112 and the second conductive type first doped region 114. In addition, the second conductive type second doped region 116 is in direct contact with the bottom of the second conductive type first doped region 114.


As shown in FIG. 4A, the second conductive type first doped region 114 and the second conductive type second doped region 116 together isolate an isolated sub-well region 118 in the well region 104. The source region 110 and the drain region 112 are disposed in the isolated sub-well region 118, and the isolated sub-well region 118 includes a channel region 120 between the source region 110 and the drain region 112.


In addition, as shown in FIG. 4B, the isolated sub-well region 118 encloses the source region 110 and the drain region 112, and the second conductive type first doped region 114 encloses the isolated sub-well region 118. The second conductive type first doped region 114 includes at least one gate region 122 disposed adjoining the channel region 120. For example, in some embodiments, the second conductive type first doped region 114 includes two gate region 122s disposed at opposite sides of the channel region 120 and disposed adjoining the channel region 120, as shown in FIG. 4B.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, since the channel region 120 is formed without using a mask, the cost of manufacturing this semiconductor device may be reduced.


In addition, the channel region 120 has a width W1. Further, decreasing the gate voltage would increase the depletion region in the PN junction. If the gate voltage is low enough, all the channel is depleted and therefore no current flows from drain to source. The channel which is completely depleted is referred to as being pinched off. The gate voltage at which this effect occurs is referred to as the pinch-off voltage (VP).


By alternating the width W1 of the channel region 120, the pinch-off voltage of the semiconductor device may be adjustable. In addition, by applying the unique configuration of the source region 110, drain region 112, gate region 122 and channel region 120 as shown in FIG. 4B (the top view), the pinch-off voltage of the semiconductor device may be reduced. In some embodiments, the pinch-off voltage of the semiconductor device may be as low as −0.2V.


Still referring to FIG. 4A, the second conductive type second doped region 116 has the second conductive type. In some embodiments, the second conductive type second doped region 116 may have impurity concentration of above about 1014/cm3 to about 1016/cm3, for example from about 1015/cm3.


The second conductive type second doped region 116 may be formed by ion implantation. For example, when the second conductive type is P-type, the predetermined region for the second conductive type second doped region 116 may be implanted with boron ion, indium ion or boron difluoride ion (BF3+) to form the second conductive type second doped region 116.


In addition, the source region 110 and the drain region 112 are not in direct contact with the second conductive type second doped region 116, as shown in FIG. 4A.


It should be noted that the exemplary embodiment set forth in FIGS. 4A-4B is merely for the purpose of illustration. In addition to the embodiment set forth in FIGS. 4A-4B, the source region and the drain region may be in direct contact with the second conductive type second doped region. This will be described in detail in the following description. Therefore, the inventive concept and scope are not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 4A-4B.


In addition, the channel region 120 has a smaller width than the source region 110 and the drain region 112. In particular, the width W1 of the channel region 120 is smaller than the width W2 of the source region 110 and the width W3 of the drain region 112.
