4 What is a Semiconductor? A semiconductor is a material that behaves in between a conductor and an insulator. At room temperature, it conducts electricity more Easily than an insulator, but less readily than a conductor. At very low temperatures, pure or intrinsic semiconductors behave like insulators. At higher temperatures though or under light, intrinsic semiconductors can become conductive. The addition of impurities to a pure semiconductor can also increase its conductivity. 4

6 Why Silicon is a most popular Semiconductor? Silicon exists everywhere. High quality Oxide can be made on Silicon. Raw material Raw material are silica stone and silica sand made from SiO2. It needs the electric power to make metal Silicon, so the countries where the electric power cost is low are the producing countries. They used to be China, Brazil, Russia, South Africa and Norway, and very recently, Australia,Malaysia and Viet Nam are coming up. Raw material Metal Silicon Poly Crystal silicon Single Crystal Silicon(Eleven Nine: %) 6 Crystal pulling method : Czochralski (CZ) method, Floating Zone method
7 Crystal structure of Silicon Silicon belongs to the cubic crystal system and has a diamond structure. This is characterized by having each atom symmetrically surrounded by four equally spaced neighbors. 7

10 N type and P type Silicon Silicon crystal is rarely used in the pure state. Usually, some impurity called a dopant is added in small controlled amount. If a boron atom is substituted for a silicon atom in the silicon lattice, the boron atom with only three of available electrons would be able to form bonds to only three of the four adjacent silicon atom and a hole would be formed. 10

12 It is very easy for an electron from a nearby silicon to silicon bond to fall into this hole and effectively move the hole away from the boron atom. Since the boron atom will accept an electron, boron and the other elements of Group III(B, In, Ga) are refered to as acceptors. Silicon with acceptor is called as P type silicon, since Positive holes are generated and contribute a current flow. 12
13 If a Group V atom, such as phosphorus, is introduced into the silicon lattice, it will have an extra electron which may easily break away, becoming a conduction electron. The phosphorus is refered to a donor, since it donates an electron to the conduction band. Other donors are As and Sb. Silicon with donor is called as N type silicon, since Negative electrons are generated and contribute the current flow. Si 14+ Si 14+ Si 14+ Si 14+ P 15+ Si 14+ Si 14+ Si 14+ Si

19 Basic Steps of LSI wafer process A) Thin Film formation: Oxidation: Thermal Oxidation CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition): Deposition of PolySilicon, Silicon Nitride, Silicon Oxide Evaporation, Sputtering: Aluminum, Metal, Silicide (Alloy of Silicon and other metal) Plating: Cu B) Patterning Photolithography: Forming photoresist patterns using UltraViolet beam Etching: Wet or Dry etching using Photoresist as a masking material 19
20 Basic Steps of LSI wafer process Continued C) Introduction of impurity Diffusion:Diffusion of Solid or vapor phase Ion Implantation:Ionized impurity bombardment using electric field D) Cleaning: Wafer cleaning using acid or ultra pure water These four steps are repeated during wafer process. 20
21 Principle of Oxidation 1. Dry Oxidation Oxidation in Dry Oxygen Used to form the thin oxide Si+O 2 (Gas) SiO 2 2. Wet Oxidation Oxidation in steam Used to form the thick oxide Si+2H 2 O(Gas) SiO 2 +2H 2 (Gas) Since the diffusion coefficient of H 2 O is larger than O 2, the wet oxidation can form thicker oxide in shorter time. 21
22 Plasma A plasma is typically an ionized gas,, and is usually considered to be a distinct phase of matter in contrast to solids, liquids, and gases because of its unique properties. Ionized" means that at least one electron has been dissociated from a proportion of the atoms or molecules. The free electron charges make the plasma electrically conductive so that it responds strongly to electromagnetic fields. 22

24 Principle of CVD The material gas is transferred to wafer surface where the reaction occurs and the reaction product deposits on wafer.

25 Sputtering Sputtering is a physical process whereby atoms in a solid target material are ejected into the gas phase due to bombardment of the material by energetic ions. It is commonly used for thinfilm deposition. 25

27 What is Lithography Technology? This is a technology where semiconductor circuit patterns formed on photomask(mask) are repeatedly built on a wafer with high accuracy. Wafer process flow chart Film Forming Photomask CMP (Planarization) Si wafer Resist coating Film Expose Develop Etching or ion implantation Film forming process (Developing) Resist Coating Expose mask pattern Resist removal 27 Next process Resist pattern formation Etching Resist removal
28 Photoresist There are two types of photoresist, one is positive (posi) resist and the other is negative (nega) resist. When posi resist is exposed and developed, the resist of exposed portion is dissolved and when nega resist is exposed and developed, the exposed portion remains. We use posi resist for fine patterning. 28
29 Photoresist coating Photoresist is dropped on a wafer, then the wafer is spun to spread the resist. Photoresist is sensitive to a short wave length. So a light of longer wave length is used in the clean room. Spin Coater 29

36 Plasma ashing In semiconductor manufacturing plasma ashing is the process of removing the photoresist from an etched wafer. Using a plasma source, a monatomic reactive species is generated. Oxygen or fluorine are the most common reactive species. The reactive species combines with the photoresist to form ash which is removed with a vacuum pump. Typically, monatomic (single atom) oxygen plasma is created by exposing oxygen gas (O2) to ionizing radiation. At the same time, many free radicals are formed which could damage the wafer. 36
37 Plasma ashing Continued Newer, smaller circuitry is increasingly susceptible to these particles. Originally, plasma was generated in the process chamber, but as the need to get rid of free radicals has increased, many machines now use a downstream Plasma configuration, where plasma is formed remotely and channeled to the wafer. This allows electrically charged particles time to recombine before they reach the wafer surface, and prevents damage to the wafer surface. 37
38 Ion Implantation Ion implantation is used to alter the surface properties of semiconductor materials. By doping the desired elements on the semiconductor substrate, or in the thin film on the substrate, PN junction is formed or surface properties are controlled by thermal treatment, recovery of dislocated crystal or implanted impurity atoms are substituted at the lattice point and activated electrically (referred to as Anneal). (Usage) Well formation Isolation between devices Source drain formation etc. (Requirement from device) Shallow junction formation 38
39 Features of Ion Implantation Can highly control the concentration and implantation depth. Photoresist can be used as a mask for a selective implantation. (Room temperature process) Can dope at low concentration. Conventional impurity doping technology such as thermal diffusion has replaced the thermal diffusion with ion implantation. 39
40 Implantation for Vth control If the acceptor ion is implanted to NMOS, then Vth of NMOS is increased. If the donor ion is implanted to NMOS, Vth of NMOS is lowered. Vice verse to PMOS. Delta Vth = Qimp/Cox Where Qimp=q*N, N=Dosage of implantation and Cox is Gate Capacitance. q= (C). Cox=ε 0 *ε r /Tox(ε 0 =8.85E12F/m, ε r =3.9) 40
41 Purpose of Annealing Annealing is done for the purpose of 1. Damage relaxation from the bombardment of impurity 2. Activation of doped impurity 3. Diffusion of doped impurity 41
42 Model of defect recovery and ion activation by annealing Process flow Before implantation Alignment model of Si atom Description Si atom Dopant ion Si atoms are aligned & bonded. However, only Si atoms may allow a small current to pass. After implantation Ion beam Due to ion Implantation, dopant and Si atoms collide, alignment is disturbed (defect occurred), and the covalent bonds break. In this case, implanted ions are not bonded to Si atoms, but is in between Si atoms. (Interstitial atom) In this condition, a current does not flow even though dopant ion exists. (Inactive condition) After annealing By annealing, the alignment of Si atoms is recovered, and ions also get bond to Si. Therefore a current can flow. (Ion activation) 42
43 Ohmic contact and barrier metal Ohmic Contact An ohmic contact refers to the contact between a metal and a semiconductor to allow carriers to flow in and out of the semiconductor. An ideal ohmic contact must have no effect on device performance, i.e., it must be capable of delivering the required current with no voltage drop between the semiconductor and the metal. In real life, therefore, an ohmic contact must have a contact resistance that is as small as possible, to make it negligible in comparison to the bulk or spreading resistance of the semiconductor. 43

45 Barrier Metal A barrier metal is a material used in integrated circuits to chemically isolate semiconductors from soft metal interconnects, while maintaining an electrical connection between them. For instance, a layer of barrier metal must surround every copper interconnection in modern copperbased chips, to prevent diffusion of copper into surrounding materials. As the name implies, a barrier metal must have high electrical conductivity in order to maintain a good electronic contact, while maintaining a low enough copper diffusivity to chemically isolate the copper conductor from the silicon below. 45

47 Modern CMOS Technology Followings are the typical CMOS wafer process. 47
48 Device Isolation Comparison of LOCOS and STI Comparison of below figures illustrates both similarities and the differences in LOCOS (Local Oxidation of Silicon) and STI (Shallow Trench Isolation). Both process produce thick SiO2 regions laterally isolating adjacent device structure. However, STI produces more compact structures because there is very little lateral encroachment of the isolation structure into adjacent active regions. STI is used below 0.35um process. Thermally oxidized SiO2 LOCOS CVD deposited SiO2 STI 48
49 Active Region Formation Active Region means the region where active devices such as NMOS and PMOS transistors are formed. Following slides show the wafer process using LOCOS device isolation. STI process is explained as an option process. 49
50 Following initial cleaning, an SiO2 layer is thermally grown on the silicon substrate. A Si3N4 layer then deposited by LPCVD. Photoresist is spun on the wafer to prepare for the first masking operation. Photoresist SiO2 (40nm) Si3N4 (80nm) Si, (100), P Type, 5~50 ohmcm LPCVD: Low Pressure CVD 50
51 Mask 1 patterns the photoresist. Photomask(Reticule) Photoresist (Posi( type) SiO2 (40nm) Si3N4 (80nm) Si, (100), P Type, 5~50 ohmcm 51
52 The Si3N4 layer is removed where it is not protected by the photoresist by dry etching. 52
53 After photoresist stripping, the field oxide is grown in an oxidizing ambient (1000 C 90 min. in H2O). The thickness is about 0.5um. The oxidation extends under the nitride edge because the oxidant (H2O) can diffuses sideways. Field region: Isolation regions between Active regions. 53
54 Process option for Device Isolation Shallow Trench Isolation 54
55 After Mask 1 defines the photoresist, the Si3N4, SiO2 and Si trenches are successively plasma etched to create the shallow trenches for isolation. 55
56 A thin liner oxide is thermally grown in the trenches. The nitride prevents any additional oxidation on the top surface of the wafer. 56
57 SiO2 is deposited to completely fill the trenches. This would typically requires um of SiO2 to be deposited, depending on the trench depth and geometry. 57
58 The deposited SiO2 layer is polished back using CMP to produce a planar structure. 58

62 A high temperature drivein (1000~1100 C and 4 to 6 hours) completes the formation of the N and P wells. Well depth will be 2 to 3 um after the wafer process finishes. N Well P Well 62
63 Gate Formation Before forming Gate oxide, channel implant ( Vth controlled implant) is done. Vth is given by the following equation where QI Q is implant dose. This equation assumes that the entire implant dose is located in the near surface region, inside the MOS channel depletion region. 63

69 LDD (Lightly Doped Drain) Formation Decreasing the channel length in the device to 0.5um without reducing the supply voltage 5 1 increases the average field to about 10 Vcm. This high field is large enough to cause a problems in semiconductor devices. Such problems are often called hot electron problems. Carriers at high energies can cause impact ionization which creates additional hole electron pairs. LDD structure is applied to relax the field. 69

92 The advantage of Cu wiring The advantages of Cu wiring over Aluminum are as follows. 1.Lower resistivity than Aluminum. (Al:2.8u ohm cm, Cu:1.7u ohm cm) Can be thinner than Al with the same resistance, which reduces capacitance. 2.Higher melting point and less electromigration. 3.Less stressmigration. 92
93 The advantage of Cu wiring Continued The disadvantages 1.Cu is one of the harmful elements to Si and SiO2. 2.Cannot be deposited by CVD. 3.Cannot be dryetched. 4.Weak cohesion to SiO2 5. TDDB lifetime is shorter than Al and W. (TDDB:Time Dependence on Dielectric Breakdown ) Damascene process is the best one for Cu. 93
