DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As discussed in the BACKGROUND, in a current semiconductor structure, in one aspect, because a contact surface between a bit line and a transistor is planar, a contact area is relatively small, and in another aspect, because a feature size of a MOS transistor is reduced, the contact area between the bit line and the transistor is further reduced. As a result, a contact resistance between the bit line and the transistor is increased, leading to the decrease of signal transmission performance and the decrease of semiconductor structure performance.


In view of this, the disclosure provides a bit line contact structure with a concave structure and/or a convex structure, so that when a vertical transistor is electrically connected to a bit line by the bit line contact structure, a contact area of the bit line contact structure can be effectively increased, a contact resistance at the bit line contact structure can be reduced, and a charge transmission speed can be increased, thereby improving a signal transmission speed. In addition, in the semiconductor structure provided in the disclosure and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure, by forming a bit line groove in a substrate, the bit line can be arranged in the bit line groove to facilitate the formation of a buried bit line structure, which helps to improve the stability of the semiconductor structure. Meanwhile, compared with a planar transistor, the vertical transistor in the disclosure can effectively improve the level of integration of devices and increase a storage capacity while occupying the same area on the substrate.


In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure are described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings of the preferred embodiments of the disclosure. In the accompanying drawings, the same or similar numerals represent the same or similar parts or parts having the same or similar functions throughout the specification. The described embodiments are merely some rather than all of the embodiments of the disclosure. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary, and are used to explain the disclosure but should not be construed as a limitation to the disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the disclosure without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the disclosure. The embodiments of the disclosure are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.


According to the first aspect, the embodiments of the disclosure provide a semiconductor structure. As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the semiconductor structure 100 includes: a substrate 10, having a bit line groove 11; a bit line 20, located in the bit line groove 11, and extending in a first direction; a vertical transistor 40, located on the bit line 20. The bit line 20 includes a bit line contact structure 30, and the bit line contact structure 30 is a concave structure and/or a convex structure. The vertical transistor 40 is electrically connected to the bit line 20 by the bit line contact structure 30. Through the arrangement of the bit line contact structure 30, the vertical transistor 40 is electrically connected to the bit line 20 by the bit line contact structure 30. Through setting the bit line contact structure 30 as the concave structure and/or the convex structure, the contact area between the vertical transistor 40 and the bit line 20 can be increased, the contact resistance between the bit line 20 and the vertical transistor 40 can be reduced, and the charge transmission speed can be increased, thereby increasing a signal transmission speed and improving the use stability of the semiconductor structure 100.


It should be noted that, “a concave structure and/or a convex structure” herein means that the overall structure of the bit line contact structure 30 is the concave structure, the convex structure, or a combination of the concave structure and the convex structure. The bit line contact structure 30 provided in the embodiments of the disclosure has a larger contact area than a planar contact structure in the related art.


It should be noted that, by forming the bit line groove 11 in the substrate 10, the bit line 20 can be arranged in the bit line groove 11, to facilitate the formation of a buried bit line structure. By setting the vertical transistor 40, while the same area on the substrate 10 is occupied, the level of integration of the semiconductor structure 100 can be effectively improved, and a storage capacity can be increased, compared with a planar transistor.


It should be noted that, in FIG. 1B, a direction a denotes the first direction, and a direction b denotes the second direction. The material of the substrate 10 may be monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, a silicon-germanium compound, silicon-on-insulator (abbreviated as SOI) or the like, or other materials known to a person skilled in the art. The substrate 10 may provide a support basis for a structural layer on the substrate 10. The semiconductor structure 100 may be a storage device or a non-storage device. The storage device may include, for example, a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), a flash memory, an Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), a Phase Change Random Access Memory (PRAM) or a Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory (MRAM). The non-storage device may be a logic device (for example, a microprocessor, a digital signal processor, or a microcontroller) or similar devices thereof.


It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 9A, the bit line groove 11 has a height ranging from 50 nm to 200 nm. In this figure, H denotes this height. The height may be specifically 50 nm, 100 nm, 150 nm, 180 nm, or 200 nm. The bit line groove 11 with the height within the above range, can in one aspect reduce the vertical height of the semiconductor structure 100, and in another aspect, enables both the bit line 20 and the vertical transistor 40 to be firmly connected to the substrate 10, thereby improving the stability of the semiconductor structure 100.


Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the bit line 20 includes a first conductive layer 21 and a second conductive layer 22. The first conductive layer 21 is located on an inner wall surface of the bit line groove 11. The second conductive layer 22 is located on the first conductive layer 21. The second conductive layer 22 may be made by a material with a relatively low resistance such as W, TiN, TaN, Al, Ru or Cu. The material of the first conductive layer 21 may include TiN. In one aspect, TiN has a certain barrier effect and can effectively prevent the metal material of the second conductive layer 22 from diffusing to the substrate. In another aspect, TiN has good interface compatibility with the metal material, which can effectively reduce structural defects at interfaces and improve the yield of semiconductor structures.


Specifically, the bit line contact structure 30 includes a transition layer 31 and a seed layer 32. The seed layer 32 is located on a side of the transition layer 31 away from the substrate 10. The transition layer 31 may be a TiN layer. TiN has good interface compatibility with the metal material of the second conductive layer 22, which can effectively reduce structural defects at interfaces. The seed layer 32 may be made by polycrystalline silicon. Polycrystalline silicon can be converted into monocrystalline silicon by using an annealing process, so that the vertical transistor 40 is epitaxially grown based on monocrystalline silicon.


Specifically, the vertical transistor 40 is located on the bit line contact structure 30, and embedded with the bit line contact structure 30. In this way, in one aspect, a contact resistance at the bit line contact structure 30 can be reduced, and in another aspect, because the vertical transistor 40 has relatively higher vertical height, the vertical transistor 40 and the bit line contact structure 30 can be connected in an embedded manner, which is beneficial to improve the structural stability of the semiconductor structure 100.


Specifically, the vertical transistor 40 includes a first doped region 41, a channel region 42, and a second doped region 43 that are sequentially stacked. The first doped region 41 contacts the bit line 20. The same type of doped ions is used in the first doped region 41, the channel region 42, and the second doped region 43. For example, the doped ions may be N-type ions or P-type ions.


The vertical transistor 40 further includes a capacitor (not shown). The second doped region 43 of the vertical transistor 40 is electrically connected to the capacitor. In the embodiments of the disclosure, the first doped region constitutes one of a source and a drain of the vertical transistor, and the second doped region constitutes the other of the source and the drain of the vertical transistor. In this way, when a voltage is applied between the first doped region and the second doped region, a current may flow through the channel region 42, and the first doped region is electrically connected to the bit line 20, so that a current path can be formed.


Specifically, the semiconductor structure 100 further includes a word line 50 and an isolation structure. The word line 50 is arranged surrounding the channel region 42, and extends in the second direction. In this way, a plurality of channel regions may be electrically connected in the second direction by the word line 50. The isolation structure is located between adjacent bit lines 20, and can prevent short circuit between the adjacent bit lines 20, thereby avoiding the effect on the stability of the semiconductor structure 100. In the embodiments of the disclosure, the substrate 10 between the adjacent bit lines 20 constitutes the isolation structure.


Specifically, the word line 50 includes a gate dielectric layer 51 and a gate conductive layer 52. The gate dielectric layer 51 is arranged surrounding the channel region 42. The gate conductive layer 52 is arranged surrounding the channel region 42, and is located on a side surface of the gate dielectric layer 51 corresponding to the channel region 42. The gate dielectric layer 51 and the gate conductive layer 52 together constitute the word line 50. Each word line 50 may surround at least one channel region 42. The material of the gate dielectric layer 51 may be an oxide, for example, silicon oxide. The material of the gate conductive layer 52 may be metal or a metal compound such as W, TiN, TaN, Al, Ru or Cu.


Specifically, the bit line contact structure 30 includes three structures. The first structure includes one concave structure. The second structure includes one convex structure. The third structure includes at least one concave structure and at least one convex structure.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1A, the bit line contact structure 30 includes one concave structure 62. The concave structure 62 may be directly formed through etching, which simplifies the manufacturing process while increasing the contact area of the bit line.


In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the bit line contact structure 30 includes two concave structures 62 and one convex structure 61. The convex structure 61 is arranged between the two concave structures 62, thereby further increasing the bit line contact area, reducing the bit line contact resistance, and increasing the charge transmission speed.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the bit line contact structure may further include one convex structure 61. It should be noted that, compared with the structure in FIG. 3, the height of the bit line groove shown in FIG. 4 is further reduced, so that while the bit line contact area is increased, the height of the semiconductor structure is also reduced, thereby improving the stability of the semiconductor structure.


In the embodiments of the disclosure, as shown in FIG. 5, the surface of the bit line contact structure 30 may be a curved surface, which can avoid a right-angle structure in the bit line contact structure 30, causing the bit line contact structure 30 more smooth, and thus reducing the bit line contact resistance.


It should be noted that, the convex structure and/or the concave structure of the bit line contact structure 30 may have the same height. In the embodiments of the disclosure, the concave structure 62 is taken as an example for description. As shown in FIG. 11A, the convex structure, and/or the concave structure may have the height ranging from 1 nm to 10 nm. In this figure, h denotes the height. Specifically, the height may be 1 nm, 3 nm, 4 nm, 6 nm, 7 nm, 9 nm or 10 nm. When the convex structure and/or the concave structure has the height within the above range, it is ensured that the bit line contact area is increased, improving the structural stability of the vertical transistor.


The embodiments of the disclosure further provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure may be used to manufacture the above semiconductor structure.

It should be noted that, the seed layer 32 is formed in the following two manners. In the first manner, as shown in FIG. 12A and FIG. 12B, the seed layer 32 is only formed on a bottom wall of the transition layer 31. In the second manner, as shown in FIG. 12C, the seed layer 32 is formed on a bottom wall and a side wall of the transition layer 31. A manner of forming the seed layer is not limited in the embodiments of the disclosure.


It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the disclosure, the vertical transistor 40 is formed on the seed layer 32. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, a method for manufacturing the vertical transistor includes the following operations.


At S401, the seed layer is subjected with an annealing process. The annealing process is performed under a temperature of 500° C. to 1,000° C. for the total time of 3 h to 5 h. Specifically, the annealing process may be performed under a high temperature of 850° C. for 30 minutes, and under a high temperature of 550° C. for 4 hours. The two operations are sequentially performed, to reduce structural defects after polycrystalline silicon is converted into monocrystalline silicon, thereby improving the quality of the vertical transistor obtained by subsequent epitaxial growth.


At S402, a first doped region is formed on the bit line. The structure of the second semiconductor structure 100 after the first doped region 41 is formed is shown in FIG. 17. The structure of the third semiconductor structure 100 after the first doped region 41 is formed is shown in FIG. 22.

After the second doped region 43 is formed, the dielectric layer 12 may be further arranged on the word line 50, so that the word line 50 can be prevented from contacting other structures.
