Definitions
- the present invention relates to semiconductor device manufacturing, and more particularly to methods of controlling morphology during epitaxial layer formation.
- CMOS complementary metal-oxide semiconductor
- junction depth is typically less than 30 nm.
- Selective epitaxial deposition is often utilized to form epilayers of silicon-containing materials (e.g., Si, SiGe and SiC) into the junctions.
- silicon-containing materials e.g., Si, SiGe and SiC
- selective epitaxial deposition permits growth of epilayers on silicon moats with no growth on dielectric areas.
- Selective epitaxy can be used within semiconductor devices, such as elevated source/drains, source/drain extensions, contact plugs or base layer deposition of bipolar devices.
- a selective epitaxy process involves a deposition reaction and an etch reaction.
- the deposition and etch reactions occur simultaneously with relatively different reaction rates to an epitaxial layer and to a polycrystalline layer.
- the epitaxial layer is formed on a monocrystalline surface while a polycrystalline layer is deposited on at least a second layer, such as an existing polycrystalline layer and/or an amorphous layer.
- the deposited polycrystalline layer is generally etched at a faster rate than the epitaxial layer. Therefore, by changing the concentration of an etchant gas, the net selective process results in deposition of epitaxy material and limited, or no, deposition of polycrystalline material.
- a selective epitaxy process may result in the formation of an epilayer of silicon-containing material on a monocrystalline silicon surface while no deposition is left on a spacer region.
- Source/drain extension features are manufactured by etching a silicon surface to make a recessed source/drain feature and subsequently filling the etched surface with a selectively grown epilayer, such as a silicon germanium (SiGe) material.
- a selectively grown epilayer such as a silicon germanium (SiGe) material.
- Selective epitaxy permits near complete dopant activation with in-situ doping, so that the post annealing process is omitted. Therefore, junction depth can be defined accurately by silicon etching and selective epitaxy.
- the ultra shallow source/drain junction inevitably results in increased series resistance. Also, junction consumption during suicide formation increases the series resistance even further.
- an elevated source/drain is epitaxially and selectively grown on the junction. Typically, the elevated source/drain layer is undoped silicon.
- the process should be versatile to form silicon-containing compounds with varied elemental concentrations while having a fast deposition rate, smooth surface morphology and maintaining a process temperature, such as about 800 0 C or less, and preferably about 700 0 C or less.
- a first aspect of the invention provides a method of selectively forming an epitaxial layer on a substrate.
- the method includes heating the substrate to a temperature of less than about 800 0 C and employing both silane and dichlorosilane as silicon sources during selective epitaxial film formation.
- a method of selectively forming an epitaxial layer on a substrate includes at least one deposition step and at least one etching step which are alternated.
- the method includes heating the substrate to a temperature of less than about 800 0 C.
- the deposition step employs both silane and dichlorosilane as silicon sources. Each of the silicon source gases are flowed at a rate from about 10 to 100 seem at a chamber pressure of about 5 to 50 Torr.
- the etching step includes flowing at least one of hydrogen chloride and chlorine .
- a method of forming an epitaxial layer on a substrate is provided.
- the method includes (1) heating the substrate to a temperature of less than about 800 0 C; and (2) performing a selective epitaxial film formation process on the substrate so as to form the epitaxial layer by employing both silane and dichlorosilane as silicon sources during the selective epitaxial film formation process.
- a ratio of silane to dichlorosilane is greater than 1.
- FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a first exemplary method for forming an epitaxial film in accordance with the present invention .
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a second exemplary method for forming an epitaxial film in accordance with the present invention .
- Selective epitaxial growth processes may include simultaneous etch-deposition processes as well as alternating gas supply processes.
- simultaneous etch- deposition process both etchant species and deposition species are flowed simultaneously.
- an epitaxial layer is simultaneously deposited and etched during its formation .
- U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11/001,774, filed December 1, 2004 (Docket No. 9618), describes an alternating gas supply (AGS) process for forming epitaxial layers on a substrate.
- AGS alternating gas supply
- an epitaxial deposition process is conducted on a substrate, and then an etching process is conducted on the substrate.
- the cycle of an epitaxial deposition process followed by an etching process is repeated until a desired thickness of an epitaxial layer is formed.
- SiH 4 silane
- DCS dichlorosilane
- an SiH 4 -based process may introduce morphology issues (e.g., surface roughness or pitting) .
- observed morphology issues associated with the use of SiH 4 may be reduced and/or eliminated by employing both SiH 4 and DCS (e.g., by mixing SiH 4 and DCS during film growth). This approach is believed to alter the diffusion mechanism on the film's surface, allowing greater morphology control.
- the present invention may be employed with the AGS process described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11/001,774, filed December 1, 2004 (Docket No. 9618), although the present invention may be used with other selective epitaxial processes.
- Silicon epitaxial films formed using a selective process with only SiH 4 as a silicon source were found to have surfaces that are rough and pitted.
- Silicon epitaxial films formed using a selective process with both SiH 4 and DCS as silicon sources were found to have improved film morphology, such as improved surface smoothness (e.g., without pitting) .
- improved film morphology such as improved surface smoothness (e.g., without pitting) .
- the use of SiH 4 and DCS allows for in-situ control of film morphology (e.g., during epitaxial film formation) without additional process steps.

- an SiH 4 to DCS ratio of greater than 1 may be employed, such as 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 7:1, 10:1, etc., (SiH 4 :DCS).
- an etchant process may be employed, for example, with about 50 seem to about 500 seem of hydrogen chloride (HCl) as the etchant, a chamber pressure of about 5 Torr to about 100 Torr with a deposition time of about 2 to 250 seconds, and more preferably about 5 to 10 seconds, and a temperature in a range between about 700 0 C and about 750 0 C.
- a purge cycle may be conducted for about 10 seconds at a pressure of about 5 to about 50 Torr at a temperature in a range between about 700 0 C and about 750 0 C.
- Other process times, temperatures and/or flow rates may be used during deposition, etching and/or purging.
- chlorine (Cl 2 ) or a combination of Cl 2 and HCl may be employed during each etch step as described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11/227,974, filed September 14, 2005 (Docket No. 9618/P01) .
- FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a first exemplary method 100 for forming an epitaxial film in accordance with the present invention.
- a substrate is loaded into a process chamber and is heated to a temperature of about 800 0 C or less.
- a lower temperature range may be used during epitaxial film formation, such as less than 750 0 C, less than 700 0 C or less than 650 0 C.

- a separate etchant step may be employed following deposition (e.g., during an AGS process) . Deposition and etching are continued until the desired epitaxial film thickness is achieved.
- an SiH 4 to DCS ratio of greater than 1 may be employed, such as 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 7:1, 10:1, etc., (SiH 4 :DCS). Other silicon source ratios may be used.
