Abstract

Provided are a silicon-on-insulator structure having bipolar stress and a manufacturing method therefor. The manufacturing method comprises providing a composite substrate, wherein the composite substrate has a silicon substrate layer, a buried oxide layer and a silicon-on-insulator layer sequentially from bottom to top, epitaxially growing a silicon germanium layer on an upper surface of the silicon-on-insulator layer; depositing a hard mask layer to cover a portion of the silicon germanium layer corresponding to an N-type MOS transistor region; depositing a surface oxide layer to cover the silicon germanium layer and the hard mask layer; performing a high temperature annealing treatment so that a portion of the silicon-on-insulator layer corresponding to a P-type MOS transistor region is converted into a silicon-germanium-on-insulator layer, and the portion corresponding to the N-type MOS transistor region is converted into a tensile stress silicon-on-insulator layer.

Claims (20)

providing a composite substrate, wherein the composite substrate has a silicon substrate layer, a buried oxide layer and a silicon-on-insulator layer sequentially from bottom to top;

epitaxially growing a silicon germanium layer on an upper surface of the silicon-on-insulator layer;

depositing a hard mask layer to cover a portion of the silicon germanium layer corresponding to an N-type MOS transistor region, wherein the hard mask layer is adapted to provide a tensile stress for the silicon-on-insulator structure;

depositing a surface oxide layer to cover the silicon germanium layer and the hard mask layer;

performing a high temperature annealing treatment so that a portion of the silicon-on-insulator layer corresponding to a P-type MOS transistor region is converted into a silicon-germanium-on-insulator layer, and the portion corresponding to the N-type MOS transistor region is converted into a tensile stress silicon-on-insulator layer, wherein the annealing treatment includes a high temperature oxidation treatment; and

removing the silicon germanium layer, the hard mask layer and the surface oxide layer on the surfaces of the silicon-germanium-on-insulator layer and the tensile stress silicon-on-insulator layer.

2. The manufacturing method of claim 1 , wherein the high temperature annealing treatment has a temperature range of 800-1300° C. and a time range of 0.5-3 hours.
