Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to semiconductor fabrication methods and, more specifically, to methods for fabricating semiconductor devices having substantially facetless raised source and drain elements.
- MOSFETs metal-oxide-semiconductor-field-effect transistors
- silicon-on-insulator SOI
- its silicon region should preferably be less than about 20 nm thick.
- Conventional suicide formation processes may consume substantially the entire silicon layer of such thickness, which may, in turn, result in undesirably large leakage currents and parasitic contact resistance because the silicide/silicon interface area is small.
- a strained Si substrate is generally formed by a first epitaxial growth of a relaxed SiGe layer on bulk Si, and then a second epitaxial growth of a thin (less than about 500 A) Si layer on the relaxed SiGe layer. Because the lattice constant of relaxed SiGe heterostructure is different from Si, the thin Si layer becomes "strained,” resulting in enhanced mobilities (and 10 hence improved device speeds) over bulk Si. The percentage of Ge in SiGe, and the method of deposition can have a dramatic effect on the characteristics of the strained Si layer.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,442,205 "Semiconductor Heterostructure Devices with Strained Semiconductor Layers," incorporated herein by reference, demonstrates one such method of producing a strained Si device structure.
- a method of epitaxially growing a relaxed SiGe layer on bulk Si is discussed in international application WO 01/22482, "Method of Producing Relaxed Silicon Germanium Layers," incorporated herein by reference.

- U.S. Patent No. 6,107,653 "Controlling Threading Dislocations in Ge on Si Using Graded GeSi Layers and - 3 - Planarization," incorporated herein by reference, describes how planarization can be used to improve the quality of SiGe graded layers.
- Raised source/drain structures have been proposed as a technique for forming high- quality contacts to improve performance of bulk silicon, silicon-on-insulator (SOI), and strained silicon devices.
- Raised source/drains are generally fabricated by raising the level of the source 10 and drain regions by selective semiconductor, e.g., silicon, deposition.
- the extra silicon increases the process margin for the suicide process and extends the latitude for contact junction design. To maintain a similar crystalline structure, the extra silicon is "grown" by silicon epitaxy.
- raised source/drain contacts have been 15 proposed as a means of forming shallow dopant junctions to minimize contact resistances and short channel effects.
- the raised source and drain regions provide sacrificial silicon useful for suicide consumption to form low resistance contacts on thin Si films.
- source and drain regions are formed by selective epitaxial silicon growth after formation of a sidewall dielectric spacer of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ), or
- silicon is epitaxially grown on exposed windows in a dielectric mask while nucleation of polysilicon on the masking material is suppressed during the incubation time by, for example, etching of spurious nuclei on the dielectric material by hydrogen chloride, the mediation of saturation by formation of a number of intermediate chlorine-containing silicon precursors, and passivation of surface defect sites which
- selectivity is facilitated by growing for a period of time that is generally shorter than the incubation period needed for polysilicon nucleation on the dielectric mask.
- the dielectric spacer electrically isolates a gate made of, for example, polysilicon, from the source and drain regions.
- a heavy low-energy 30 implant forms a doped region, and is followed by a silicidation process for, e.g., low resistance complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) contacts.
- CMOS complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
- XTEM transmission electron microscope
- a suicided source region 20 is formed by selective epitaxial growth on a thin film SOI substrate 22 according to
- strained-Si-based devices thinner faceted raised source and drain regions may cause the silicide to penetrate into a relaxed silicon-germanium (SiGe) layer underneath a strained Si layer. This may result in formation of a poor quality silicide because of the rejection of Ge during alloying of the SiGe layer with the silicide metal. This rejection may 30 create high-resistivity regions that compromise the contact quality.
- SiGe relaxed silicon-germanium
- Facetless selective epitaxial growth is, therefore, desirable for fully realizing the performance advantages of the raised source/drain scheme for fabrication of low-resistance - 5 - contacts and shallow junctions in advanced devices that have wide ranging application to Si, SOI, and strained Si technologies.
- SiO was chosen as the sidewall material instead of more commonly used Si 3 N 4 because selective growth generally cannot be achieved with either SiH 4 or SiH 2 Cl 2 source gases, common Si precursors, on Si 3 N spacers without the addition of
