BACKGROUND
1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device.
2. Description of the Related Art
The degree of integration of semiconductor integrated circuits, in particular, integrated circuits using MOS transistors, has been increasing. With the increasing degree of integration, the size of MOS transistors used in integrated circuits has been decreased to nano-scale dimensions. Such a decrease in the size of MOS transistors causes difficulty in suppressing leak currents, which poses a problem in that it is hard to reduce the area occupied by the circuits because of the requirements of the secure retention of necessary currents. To address the problem, a surrounding gate transistor (SGT) having a structure in which a source, a gate, and a drain are arranged vertically with respect to a substrate and the gate surrounds a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer has been proposed (e.g., Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication Nos. 2-71556, 2-188966, and 3-145761).
By using a metal for gate electrodes instead of a polysilicon, the depletion can be suppressed and the resistance of the gate electrodes can be decreased. However, the production process after a metal gate is formed needs to be conducted always in consideration of metal contamination due to the metal gate.
In existing MOS transistors, in order to perform both a metal gate process and a high-temperature process, a metal gate last process in which a metal gate is formed after a high-temperature process has been employed in production of actual products (IEDM 2007 K. Mistry et al., pp. 247 to 250). The metal gate last process includes forming a gate using a polysilicon, then depositing an interlayer insulating film, exposing the polysilicon gate by chemical mechanical polishing, etching the polysilicon gate, and depositing a metal. Therefore, a metal gate last process in which a metal gate is formed after a high-temperature process also needs to be employed in SGTs in order to perform both a metal gate process and a high-temperature process. In SGTs, since a pillar-shaped silicon layer is located at a higher position than a gate, a scheme for employing the metal gate last process is required.
To decrease the parasitic capacitance between a gate line and a substrate, a first insulating film is used in existing MOS transistors. For example, in the FINFET (IEDM 2010 CC. Wu et al., 27.1.1 to 27.1.4), the parasitic capacitance between a gate line and a substrate is decreased by forming a first insulating film around a single fin-shaped semiconductor layer and etching back the first insulating film to expose the fin-shaped semiconductor layer. Therefore, such a first insulating film also needs to be used in SGTs to decrease the parasitic capacitance between a gate line and a substrate. In SGTs, since a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer is formed in addition to the fin-shaped semiconductor layer, a scheme for forming a pillar-shaped semiconductor layer is required.
Furthermore, FINFETs in which two transistors are formed from a single dummy pattern has been known (e.g., Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2011-71235). A sidewall is formed around a dummy pattern and a substrate is etched using the sidewall as a mask to form a fin, and thus two transistors are formed from a single dummy pattern.
SUMMARY

A semiconductor device according to another aspect of the present invention includes a first fin-shaped silicon layer formed on a substrate, a second fin-shaped silicon layer formed on the substrate, the first fin-shaped silicon layer and the second fin-shaped silicon layer being connected to each other at their ends to form a closed loop, a first insulating film formed around the first fin-shaped silicon layer and second fin-shaped silicon layer, a first pillar-shaped silicon layer formed on the first fin-shaped silicon layer and having a width equal to a width of the first fin-shaped silicon layer, a second pillar-shaped silicon layer formed on the second fin-shaped silicon layer and having a width equal to a width of the second fin-shaped silicon layer, a diffusion layer formed in an upper portion of the first fin-shaped silicon layer and a lower portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer, a diffusion layer formed in an upper portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer, a diffusion layer formed in an upper portion of the second fin-shaped silicon layer and a lower portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer, a diffusion layer formed in an upper portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer, a silicide formed in upper portions of the diffusion layers formed in the upper portion of the first fin-shaped silicon layer and in the upper portion of the second fin-shaped silicon layer, a gate insulating film formed around the first pillar-shaped silicon layer, a first metal gate electrode formed around the gate insulating film, a gate insulating film formed around the second pillar-shaped silicon layer, a second metal gate electrode formed around the gate insulating film, a metal gate line that is connected to the first metal gate electrode and the second metal gate electrode and that extends in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the first fin-shaped silicon layer and second fin-shaped silicon layer extend, a contact formed on the diffusion layer formed in the upper portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer so as to be directly connected to the diffusion layer, and a contact formed on the diffusion layer formed in the upper portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer so as to be directly connected to the diffusion layer.
The present invention can provide a SGT production method in which the parasitic capacitance between a gate line and a substrate is decreased, a gate last process is employed, and two transistors are produced from a single dummy pattern and a SGT structure formed by the production method.
Two SGTs can be easily produced from a single dummy pattern by employing a method for producing an existing FINFET. In the method, a sidewall is formed around a dummy pattern and a substrate is etched using the sidewall as a mask to form a fin, and thus two transistors are formed from a single dummy pattern.
In addition, a metal gate SGT can be easily produced because a production method that employs an existing metal gate last process can be used. A silicide has been conventionally formed in an upper portion of a pillar-shaped silicon layer, but the temperature at which a polysilicon is deposited is higher than the temperature at which a silicide is formed and thus a silicide needs to be formed after the formation of a polysilicon gate. If a silicide is formed in an upper portion of a silicon pillar, a polysilicon gate is formed, a hole is made above a polysilicon gate electrode, an insulating film is formed on the sidewall of the hole, a silicide is formed, and the hole is filled with an insulating film. This increases the number of production steps. Therefore, the existing metal gate last process below can be employed. A diffusion layer is formed before the formation of a polysilicon gate electrode and a polysilicon gate line. By covering a pillar-shaped silicon layer with the polysilicon gate electrode and by forming a silicide only in an upper portion of a fin-shaped silicon layer, a polysilicon gate is formed. Subsequently, an interlayer insulating film is deposited and then the polysilicon gate is exposed by chemical mechanical polishing. The polysilicon gate is etched and then a metal is deposited.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

A nitride film or a laminated film of an oxide film and a polysilicon may be used.
As shown in FIGS. 3(a)-3(c), a first resist 103 for forming the dummy pattern is formed.
As shown in FIGS. 4(a)-4(c), the first oxide film 102 is etched to form the dummy pattern 102.
As shown in FIGS. 5(a)-5(c), the first resist 103 is removed.
As shown in FIGS. 6(a)-6(c), a first nitride film 104 is deposited.
As shown in FIGS. 7(a)-7(c), by etching the first nitride film 104, the first nitride film 104 is made to remain in a sidewall shape. Thus, a first nitride film sidewall 104 is formed around the dummy pattern 102. By etching silicon using the formed first nitride film sidewall 104, a first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and a second fin-shaped silicon layer 106 that are connected to each other at their ends to form a closed loop will be formed.
As shown in FIGS. 8(a)-8(c), the dummy pattern 102 is removed.
As shown in FIGS. 9(a)-9(c), by etching the silicon substrate 101 using the first nitride film sidewall 104 as a mask, a first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and a second fin-shaped silicon layer 106 that are connected to each other at their ends to form a loop are formed.
As shown in FIGS. 10(a)-10(c), a first insulating film 107 is formed around the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and second fin-shaped silicon layer 106.
An oxide film formed using high-density plasma or an oxide film formed by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition may be used as the first insulating film.
As shown in FIGS. 11(a)-11(c), the first nitride film sidewall 104 is removed. In the case where the first nitride film sidewall 104 is removed during the silicon etching or the oxide film deposition, this step is skipped.
As shown in FIGS. 12(a)-12(c), the first insulating film 107 is etched back to expose an upper portion of the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and an upper portion of the second fin-shaped silicon layer 106.
As shown in FIGS. 13(a)-13(c), a second resist 108 is formed so as to be perpendicular to the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and second fin-shaped silicon layer 106. The portions in which the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and second fin-shaped silicon layer 106 are perpendicular to the resist 108 are portions to be formed into pillar-shaped silicon layers. Since the resist can be formed linearly, there is a low probability of the resist falling over after the patterning. Consequently, the process can be stably performed.
As shown in FIGS. 14(a)-14(c), the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and the second fin-shaped silicon layer 106 are etched. The portion in which the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 is perpendicular to the second resist 108 becomes a first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109. The portion in which the second fin-shaped silicon layer 106 is perpendicular to the second resist 108 becomes a second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110. Therefore, the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 has a width equal to the width of the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105. The second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110 has a width equal to the width of the second fin-shaped silicon layer 106.
As a result, a structure is formed in which the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 is formed in the upper portion of the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105, the second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110 is formed in the upper portion of the second fin-shaped silicon layer 106, and the first insulating film 107 is formed around the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and second fin-shaped silicon layer 106.
As shown in FIGS. 15(a)-15(c), the second resist 108 is removed.
Next, there is described a production method that includes, in order to achieve gate last, forming diffusion layers by implanting an impurity into an upper portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109, an upper portion of the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105, and a lower portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 and forming diffusion layers by implanting an impurity into an upper portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110, an upper portion of the second fin-shaped silicon layer 106, and a lower portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110.
As shown in FIGS. 16(a)-16(c), a third oxide film 111 is deposited and a second nitride film 112 is formed. Since the upper portions of the pillar-shaped silicon layers will be covered with a gate insulating film and a polysilicon gate electrode later, diffusion layers are formed in the upper portions of the pillar-shaped silicon layers before covered with the gate insulating film and polysilicon gate electrode.
As shown in FIGS. 17(a)-17(c), by etching the second nitride film 112, the second nitride film 112 is made to remain in a sidewall shape.
As shown in FIGS. 18(a)-18(c), an impurity such as arsenic, phosphorus, or boron is implanted to form a diffusion layer 113 in the upper portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109, diffusion layers 115 and 116 in the upper portions of the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105, a diffusion layer 114 in the upper portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110, and diffusion layers 115 and 116 in the upper portions of the second fin-shaped silicon layer 106.
As shown in FIGS. 19(a)-19(c), the second nitride film 112 and the third oxide film 111 are removed.
As shown in FIGS. 20(a)-20(c), a heat treatment is performed. The diffusion layers 115 and 116 in the upper portions of the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and second fin-shaped silicon layer 106 are brought into contact with each other and thus a diffusion layer 117 is formed. In order to achieve gate last, the diffusion layers 113 and 117 are formed by implanting an impurity into the upper portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109, the upper portion of the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105, and the lower portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109; and the diffusion layers 114 and 117 are formed by implanting an impurity into the upper portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110, the upper portion of the second fin-shaped silicon layer 106, and the lower portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110.
Next, there is described a production method that includes, in order to achieve gate last, forming a first polysilicon gate electrode 119b, a second polysilicon gate electrode 119a, and a polysilicon gate line 119c using a polysilicon. To achieve gate last, an interlayer insulating film is deposited and then polysilicon gate electrodes and a polysilicon gate line are exposed by chemical mechanical polishing. Therefore, the upper portions of the pillar-shaped silicon layers need to be prevented from being exposed by the chemical mechanical polishing.
As shown in FIGS. 21(a)-21(c), a gate insulating film 118 is formed and a polysilicon 119 is deposited and planarized. The upper surface of the planarized polysilicon 119 is located at a higher position than the gate insulating film 118 on the diffusion layer 113 formed in the upper portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 and the gate insulating film 118 on the diffusion layer 114 formed in the upper portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110. Thus, when the interlayer insulating film is deposited and then the polysilicon gate electrodes and polysilicon gate line are exposed by chemical mechanical polishing in order to achieve gate last, the upper portions of the pillar-shaped silicon layers can be prevented from being exposed by chemical mechanical polishing.
A third nitride film 120 is deposited. The third nitride film 120 is a film that, when a silicide is formed in the upper portions of the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and second fin-shaped silicon layer 106, prevents the formation of the silicide in upper portions of a first polysilicon gate electrode 119b, a second polysilicon gate electrode 119a, and a polysilicon gate line 119c. 
As shown in FIGS. 22(a)-22(c), a third resist 121 for forming a first polysilicon gate electrode 119b, a second polysilicon gate electrode 119a, and a polysilicon gate line 119c is formed. A portion to be the gate line is desirably perpendicular to the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and second fin-shaped silicon layer 106 to decrease the parasitic capacitance between the gate line and the substrate.
As shown in FIGS. 23(a)-23(c), the third nitride film 120 is etched and the polysilicon 119 is etched to form a first polysilicon gate electrode 119b, a second polysilicon gate electrode 119a, and a polysilicon gate line 119c.

The production method that includes, in order to achieve gate last, forming a first polysilicon gate electrode 119b, a second polysilicon gate electrode 119a, and a polysilicon gate line 119c using a polysilicon has been described. The upper surface of the polysilicon after the first polysilicon gate electrode 119b, second polysilicon gate electrode 119a, and polysilicon gate line 119c are formed is located at a higher position than the gate insulating film 118 on the diffusion layer 113 formed in the upper portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 and the gate insulating film 118 on the diffusion layer 114 formed in the upper portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110.
Next, there is described a production method that includes forming a silicide in the upper portion of the diffusion layer 117 formed in the upper portion of the first fin-shaped silicon layer 105 and in the upper portion of the diffusion layer 117 formed in the upper portion of the second fin-shaped silicon layer 106.
This production method is characterized in that a silicide is not formed in upper portions of the first polysilicon gate electrode 119b, second polysilicon gate electrode 119a, and polysilicon gate line 119c and in upper portions of the diffusion layer 113 formed in the upper portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 and the diffusion layer 114 formed in the upper portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110. If a silicide is formed in the upper portions of the diffusion layer 113 formed in the upper portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 and the diffusion layer 114 formed in the upper portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110, the number of production steps is increased.

A silicide is also not formed in upper portions of the diffusion layer 113 formed in the upper portion of the first pillar-shaped silicon layer 109 and the diffusion layer 114 formed in the upper portion of the second pillar-shaped silicon layer 110 because the diffusion layer 113 and the diffusion layer 114 are covered with the gate insulating film 118, the first polysilicon gate electrode 119b, the second polysilicon gate electrode 119a, and the polysilicon gate line 119c.
