Definitions
- the invention relates to a semiconductor component with a layer sequence for converting acoustic or thermal signals and electrical voltage changes into one another, and to a method for its production.
- Such a semiconductor device typically has a lower electrode, an upper electrode and an interposed layer which is piezoelectric in the event that acoustic vibrations are generated or detected and is pyroelectric in the event that thermal signals are generated or detected ,
- a distinctive texture of the crystal structure of the layer is sought in order to achieve the highest possible piezoelectric or pyroelectric coupling coefficient. The larger this coupling coefficient, the more pronounced are the measurable electrical voltage changes for a given acoustic or thermal signal.
- a semiconductor device in which acoustic vibrations are generated by the piezoelectric effect by applying a voltage change is e.g. in Dubois et al, "Properties of aluminum nitride thin films for piezoelectric transducers and microwave filter applications", Appl. Phys.
- a layer sequence through which the acoustic vibrations are generated consists of a lower and an upper electrode and a piezoelectric layer made of AlN arranged between them.
- a piezoelectric layer made of AlN arranged between them.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a semiconductor component with a layer sequence for converting acoustic or thermal signals and electrical voltage changes into one another, the piezoelectric or pyroelectric layer of which has an improved texture compared to the prior art. Furthermore, a method for producing such a semiconductor component is to be specified.
- the object is achieved by a semiconductor component with a layer sequence for converting acoustic or thermal signals and electrical voltage changes into one another, the layer sequence having a lower electrode, an upper electrode and an intermediate layer which is piezoelectric or pyroelectric, with between the lower
- An auxiliary layer is arranged in the electrode and the layer, which serves for a homogeneously oriented growth of the layer in the production process, the auxiliary layer essentially consisting of amorphous silicon, amorphous silicon oxide or amorphous silicon nitride.
- the object is achieved by a method for producing a semiconductor component with a layer sequence for converting acoustic or thermal signals and electrical voltage changes into one another, in which, as part of the layer sequence, a lower electrode, an auxiliary layer above, a layer above it, which is piezoelectric or is pyroelectric, and above it an upper electrode is produced, the auxiliary layer being produced in such a way that it promotes homogeneous growth of the layer.
- the auxiliary layer preferably consists essentially of amorphous silicon, amorphous silicon oxide or amorphous silicon nitride. It has been shown that due to the auxiliary layer, in particular from essentially amorphous silicon, amorphous silicon oxide or amorphous silicon nitride, a significantly better texture of the piezoelectric or pyroelectric layer is achieved.
- the underlying physical effect is that the auxiliary layer according to the invention forms a chemically strictly defined surface, so that the growth of the piezoelectric or pyroelectric layer begins on all areas of the auxiliary layer with the same element. This surface ensures that the crystallites of the layer accumulate in a defined polarization.
- the surface of the auxiliary layer can be passivated.
- the auxiliary layer on the surface can be oxidized to a thickness of approximately 1 to 2 nm.
- the auxiliary layer can be nitrided, for example.
- the auxiliary layer can remain as a full-surface layer on semiconductor wafers without short circuits between the electrodes.
- the auxiliary layer also acts as a diffusion barrier for impurities that diffuse out of layers below the lower electrode during the deposition of the layer. This property of the auxiliary layer is particularly advantageous, since it has been shown that even the smallest impurities due to oxygen or hydrogen seriously disturb the growth of the piezo or pyroelectric layer.
- the production method of a semiconductor component according to the invention is particularly simple to carry out, since in particular a deposition of amorphous silicon, amorphous silicon oxide or amorphous silicon nitride is compatible with CMOS production.
- the layer consists essentially of A1N, for example. However, other piezoelectric or pyroelectric materials are also suitable.
- the thickness of the layer determines the frequency of the acoustic vibrations. If the semiconductor component is, for example, a resonator at 2 GHz, the thickness of the layer is approximately 2 m.
- the lower electrode and / or the upper electrode consist for example essentially or partially of tungsten, molybdenum, platinum or an aluminum alloy, or of a combination of these metals.
- the roughness of the surface also has a significant influence on the quality of the texture of the layer.
- Crystal growth occurs locally perpendicular to the surface. Crystallites initially grow on rough surfaces with large changes in direction until they block each other in growth and only the essentially vertically oriented crystallites remain capable of growth.
- the thickness of that part of the layer in which this selection process takes place is strongly dependent on the roughness of the surface. Since this portion of the layer has poor piezo or pyroelectric properties, the coupling coefficient of the layer deteriorates significantly on a rough surface.
- the lower electrode In order to reduce the roughness of the surface, it is advantageous to produce the lower electrode by depositing a suitable material and then smoothing it by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP).
- CMP chemical mechanical polishing
- This process step is particularly advantageous if the lower electrode is produced by depositing tungsten in a CVD process, since such an electrode has a particularly high roughness without smoothing. Since chemical mechanical polishing is only used for smoothing, A short CMP step is sufficient in which only 10 to 100 nm are removed.
- the auxiliary layer can be applied by sputtering. This step can be carried out in situ or ex situ. In the first case, the layer is applied immediately after sputtering. In the second case, the auxiliary layer is exposed to the atmosphere before the layer is applied.
- the semiconductor component can, for example, as a bulk
- the layer sequence is arranged on a carrier which is designed such that it reflects acoustic vibrations generated by the layer sequence.
- the carrier consists of a number of layers arranged one above the other, which alternately have a high and a low acoustic impedance.
- the thickness of the auxiliary layer is preferably as small as possible so that reflection conditions of the support are met as well as possible.
- the thickness of the auxiliary layer is between 5 nm and 50 nm.
- the semiconductor component can also be configured as a surface wave resonator or thin-film resonator.
- the figure shows a cross section through a bulk acoustic wave resonator with a layer sequence consisting of a lower electrode, an auxiliary layer, a layer and an upper electrode and a carrier.
- a carrier T is produced starting from a substrate 1 made of silicon by a sequence of Layers Sl, S2 is deposited, which alternately have a high acoustic impedance and a low acoustic impedance.
- the layers S1 with the high acoustic impedance consist of tungsten and are approximately 850 nm thick.
- the layers S2 with the low acoustic impedance consist of SiO 2 and are approximately 750 nm thick.
- a layer sequence is generated on the carrier T.
- tungsten is first deposited in a thickness of approximately 400 nm to form a lower electrode.
- the lower electrode U is then smoothed by chemical mechanical polishing, with tungsten being removed to a thickness of approximately 60 nm.
- a 20 nm thick auxiliary layer H is produced on the lower electrode U by sputtering amorphous silicon.
- a piezoelectric layer S is then produced by depositing AlN in a thickness of approximately 2 ⁇ m.
- Aluminum is deposited in a thickness of approx. 400 nm to produce an upper electrode.
- the component produced is a bulk acoustic wave resonator.
- the carrier T acts as a Bragg reflector, which reflects acoustic waves generated by the layer sequence.
- the thicknesses of the layers S1, S2 are designed so that at the operating frequency of the bulk acoustic wave
- Resonators ⁇ correspond to the acoustic wavelength in the respective material.
