DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] A capacitor structure usually includes two electrodes arranged oppositely and a dielectric layer located between the two electrodes. The dielectric layer may include a doped metal oxide layer, for example, hafnium oxide doped with silicon oxide or zirconium oxide doped with silicon oxide.
[0036] In related technologies, when the above capacitor structure is manufactured, a metal organic layer is generally formed, and then the metal organic layer is oxidized to form a metal oxide layer; a preset organic layer is formed on the metal oxide layer, the preset organic layer is oxidized to form a preset oxide layer, and the preset oxide layer and the metal oxide layer form a doped metal oxide layer. However, the dielectric layer formed by the above method has a high degree of oxidation of the preset organic layer, resulting in a relatively high concentration of the preset oxide. On the other hand, the preset oxide layer and the metal oxide layer are arranged in layers, resulting in poor doping effect of the preset oxide.
[0037] An embodiment of the present application provides a manufacturing method for capacitor structure. In the method, when the dielectric layer is formed, part of a metal oxide in a metal oxide layer and part of a preset oxide doped in the metal oxide layer share oxygen atoms. Since part of the preset oxide and part of the metal oxide share oxygen atoms, the oxygen content in the metal oxide layer can be reduced, thereby reducing the influence of the preset oxide on decrease in the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer.
[0038] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0039] Referring to
[0040] Step S101, a dielectric layer is formed on a first electrode, wherein the dielectric layer includes metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides, and part of the preset oxide and the metal oxide share oxygen atoms.
[0041] The first electrode 10 may be a metal electrode. For example, the material of the first electrode 10 may be one or more of aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), titanium (Ti), or tungsten (W). Exemplarily, the first electrode 10 in the embodiment of the present application may be a titanium nitride (TiN) electrode.
[0042] The first electrode 10 may be formed by deposition. For example, the first electrode 10 is formed by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), or Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). Of course, the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. The first electrode 10 may also be formed by other processes, such as electroplating.
[0043] After the first electrode 10 is provided, the dielectric layer is formed on the first electrode 10. The dielectric layer includes metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20. The preset oxide includes a non-metal oxide, and part of the preset oxide and the metal oxide share oxygen atoms 3.
[0044] For example, non-metal atoms 2 in the preset oxide may share the oxygen atoms 3 with metal atoms 1 in the metal oxide to reduce oxygen content. In the metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide 20, the mass percentage of the metal oxide is 90% to 99%, and the mass percentage of the non-metal oxide is 1% to 10%.
[0045] Exemplarily, referring to
[0046] Referring to
[0047] Referring to
[0048] Referring to
[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the metal organic layer 21 and the preset organic layer 22 may be oxidized with ozone (O.sub.3), so that a metal organic is oxidized to the metal oxide, and a preset organic is oxidized to the preset oxide. The oxidation time may be less than or equal to 10 min, so that the metal organic and the preset organic are fully oxidized.
[0050] As shown in
[0051] Step S102, a second electrode is formed on the dielectric layer, wherein the first electrode, the dielectric layer and the second electrode constitute a capacitor structure.
[0052] Referring to
[0053] In the manufacturing method for capacitor structure according to the embodiment of the present application, a dielectric layer is formed on the first electrode 10, wherein the dielectric layer includes metal oxide layer doped with preset oxides 20, and part of the preset oxide and the metal oxide share oxygen atoms 3. Since part of the preset oxide and the metal oxide share oxygen atoms 3, the concentration of the preset oxide can be reduced, thereby reducing the influence of the preset oxide on the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer. Then a second electrode 30 is formed on the dielectric layer to form the capacitor structure, so that the obtained capacitor structure has better performance. In addition, since part of the preset oxide and the metal oxide share oxygen atoms 3, the preset oxide in the metal oxide layer has good doping effect and relatively good density.
[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the step of forming a dielectric layer on a first electrode 10 further includes: purging the metal organic layer 21; and/or purging the preset organic layer 22. For example, the metal organic and/or the preset organic are purged to reduce surface residues thereof, so as to reduce pollution and impact on subsequent processes.
[0055] Exemplarily, the purging may be performed after the step of forming the metal organic layer 21 on the first electrode 10 and after the step of forming the preset organic layer 22 on the metal organic layer 21. The purging time may be 0 to 10 min, and the purging gas may include nitrogen (N.sub.2) or argon (Ar). Of course, the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. The purging gas may also be other inert gas.
[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, after the step of oxidizing the metal organic layer 21 and the preset organic layer 22 to form the metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide 20, before the step of forming the second electrode 30 on the dielectric layer, the manufacturing method for capacitor structure further includes:
[0057] A metal organic layer 21 is formed on the metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide. Exemplarily, referring to
[0058] As shown in
[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, after the step of oxidizing the metal organic layer 21 and the preset organic layer 22 to form the metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide 20, before the step of forming the second electrode 30 on the dielectric layer, the manufacturing method for capacitor structure further includes:
[0060] A metal organic layer is formed on the metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide. A preset organic layer is formed on the metal organic layer. The metal organic layer and the preset organic layer are oxidized to form a metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide. The steps of forming a metal organic layer on the metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide, forming a preset organic layer on the metal organic layer, and oxidizing the metal organic layer and the preset organic layer are repeated, until N-1 metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20 are formed. At this time, the dielectric layer includes N metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20.
[0061] That is, when the dielectric layer includes N metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20, a metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide 20 is first formed on the first electrode 10, and then the remaining N-lmetal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20 are formed on this layer. The manufacturing of the remaining N-1metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20 may be referred to this layer.
[0062] Exemplarily, when the dielectric layer includes three metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20, referring to
[0063] Step S201, a first electrode is provided, as shown in
[0064] Step S202, a metal organic layer is formed on the first electrode.
[0065] Step S203, a preset organic layer is formed on the metal organic layer.
[0066] Step S204, the metal organic layer and the preset organic layer are oxidized to form a first metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide, as shown in
[0067] Step S205, a metal organic layer is formed on the first metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide.
[0068] Step S206, a preset organic layer is formed on the metal organic layer.
[0069] Step S207, the metal organic layer and the preset organic layer are oxidized to form a second metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide, as shown in
[0070] Step S208, a metal organic layer is formed on the second metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide.
[0071] Step S209, a preset organic layer is formed on the metal organic layer.
[0072] Step S210, the metal organic layer and the preset organic layer are oxidized to form a third metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide, as shown in
[0073] Step S211, a second electrode is formed on the third metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide. Referring to
[0074] It should be noted that the preset oxides and the metal oxides in the metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20 may be the same or different. Referring to
[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the mass percentage of the non-metal oxide in each metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide 20 may be different. Exemplarily, when the dielectric layer includes two metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20, the mass percentages of the non-metal oxides in the two metal oxide layers 20 may be different.
[0076] For example, the mass percentage of the non-metal oxide in the upper metal oxide layer 20 is less than that of the non-metal oxide in the lower metal oxide layer 20. It can be understood that the doping concentration of the upper metal oxide layer 20 is relatively low, while the doping concentration of the lower metal oxide layer 20 is relatively high.
[0077] When the lower metal oxide layer 20 is formed, after the metal organic layer and the preset organic layer are oxidized, covalent bonds of metal atoms, oxygen atoms and preset atoms are formed in the interface between the original metal organic layer and the preset organic layer, for example, metal-oxygen-non-metal covalent bonds are formed, and part of the metal oxide and part of the preset oxide are also present in the interface.
[0078] When the lower metal oxide layer 20 is formed, after the metal organic layer and the preset organic layer are oxidized, most or all of preset atoms in the interface between the original metal organic layer and the preset organic layer form covalent bonds of metal atoms, oxygen atoms and the preset atoms, for example, most or all of the preset atoms form metal-oxygen-non-metal covalent bonds, and part of the metal oxide is present in the original metal organic layer.
[0079] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, a metal organic layer 21, a preset organic layer 22, a metal organic layer 21, a preset organic layer 22, a metal organic layer 21, and a preset organic layer 22 may be sequentially deposited on the first electrode 10, and then the three metal organic layers 21 and the three preset organic layers 22 are simultaneously oxidized.
[0080] An embodiment of the present application further provides a capacitor structure. The capacitor structure includes two electrodes and a dielectric layer, the two electrodes are usually arranged oppositely, and the dielectric layer is located between the two electrodes and is in contact with the two electrodes. For ease of description, one of the electrodes is a first electrode, and the other electrode is a second electrode.
[0081] Referring to
[0082] The first electrode 10 and the second electrode 30 may be metal electrodes. For example, the material of the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 30 may be titanium nitride (TiN), and the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 30 may be formed by deposition.
[0083] The dielectric layer is filled between the first electrode 10 and the second electrode 30. The dielectric layer may include metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20, and part of the preset oxide and the metal oxide share oxygen atoms. Exemplarily, the metal oxide may include hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide or perovskite, and the preset oxide may include a non-metal oxide, such as silicon oxide.
[0084] The metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide 20 may be formed by the following steps: forming a metal organic layer 21; forming a preset organic layer 22 on the metal organic layer 21; and oxidizing the metal organic layer 21 and the preset organic layer 22 to form the metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide 20.
[0085] The metal organic layer 21 and the preset organic layer 22 may be formed by atomic layer deposition to form relatively thin films. The oxidation gas may be ozone, and the oxidation time is 0 to 10 min, so that a metal organic and a preset organic are fully oxidized.
[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, part of the preset oxide and the metal oxide share oxygen atoms, so that the oxygen content in the metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide 20 is reduced, and the influence of the preset oxide on decrease in the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer is reduced, thereby improving the performance of the capacitor structure. In addition, part of the preset oxide and the metal oxide share oxygen atoms, which can also reduce or avoid delamination of the preset oxide and the metal oxide, thereby improving the doping effect of the preset oxide and further improving the performance of the capacitor structure.
[0087] Exemplarily, the capacitor structure in the embodiment of the present application may be formed by the following process: providing a substrate with a plurality of spaced capacitor contacts; forming a support layer on the substrate, the support layer being formed with a plurality of capacitor holes with a relatively high aspect ratio, and each capacitor hole exposing a corresponding capacitor contact; forming a first electrode on an inner surface of the capacitor holes; forming a dielectric layer on the first electrode; forming a second electrode on the dielectric layer, the second electrode filling in the capacitor holes; wherein the dielectric layer may include metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20.
[0088] It should be noted that the dielectric layer may include at least two metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20, and the at least two metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20 are stacked. Exemplarily, the dielectric layer includes three metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20, as shown in

[0090] It should be noted that the dielectric layer may also include undoped metal oxide layers, and the undoped metal oxide layers and the metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20 are stacked. Exemplarily, the metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide 20 is disposed on the first electrode 10, and the undoped metal oxide layer is disposed on the metal oxide layer doped with a preset oxide 20. A plurality of undoped metal oxide layers and a plurality of metal oxide layers doped with preset oxides 20 may be disposed, which are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
