图2至图13是本发明的实施例的半导体结构的形成过程的结构示意图。2 to 13 are structural schematic diagrams of the formation process of the semiconductor structure according to the embodiment of the present invention.
具体实施方式Detailed ways
如背景技术中所述,现有技术形成的鳍式场效应晶体管的性能有待进一步的提高。As mentioned in the background art, the performance of the fin field effect transistor formed in the prior art needs to be further improved.
研究发现,现有技术通常形成的N型鳍式场效应晶体管和P型鳍式场效应晶体管的鳍部采用的是相同的鳍部材料,而所述N型鳍式场效应晶体管和P型鳍式场效应晶体管中分别对应的载流子即电子和空穴在同一材料中的迁移速率是不相同的,这就导致形成的N型鳍式场效应晶体管和P型鳍式场效应晶体管的饱和电流不相同。随着工艺节点的进一步下降,这种差异性会更加突出。研究发现,对于P型鳍式场效应晶体管,所述鳍部的材料可以是Ge或SiGe,能够提高P型鳍式场效应晶体管中的空穴载流子的迁移率,从而提高P型鳍式场效应晶体管的性能;对于N型鳍式场效应晶体管,所述鳍部的材料可以是Si或GaN,能够使得N型鳍式场效应晶体管具有较高的电子载流子迁移率,从而提高N型鳍式场效应晶体管的性能。如何在衬底上同时形成具有不同鳍部材料的N型鳍式场效应晶体管和P型鳍式场效应晶体管成为亟待解决的问题。Research has found that the fins of N-type fin field effect transistors and P-type fin field effect transistors commonly formed in the prior art use the same fin material, while the N-type fin field effect transistors and P-type fin field effect transistors The mobility rates of the corresponding carriers in the same material, that is, electrons and holes in the N-type FET, are different, which leads to the saturation of the formed N-type FIN-FET and P-type FIN-FET. The current is not the same. As the process node drops further, this difference will become more prominent. Studies have found that for P-type fin field effect transistors, the material of the fins can be Ge or SiGe, which can improve the mobility of hole carriers in P-type fin field effect transistors, thereby improving the efficiency of P-type fin field effect transistors. The performance of the field effect transistor; for the N-type fin field effect transistor, the material of the fin can be Si or GaN, which can make the N-type fin field effect transistor have a higher electron carrier mobility, thereby improving the N Type fin field effect transistor performance.
