Mechanism for finFET well doping
Abstract:
The embodiments of mechanisms for doping wells of finFET devices described in this disclosure utilize depositing doped films to dope well regions. The mechanisms enable maintaining low dopant concentration in the channel regions next to the doped well regions. As a result, transistor performance can be greatly improved. The mechanisms involve depositing doped films prior to forming isolation structures for transistors. The dopants in the doped films are used to dope the well regions near fins. The isolation structures are filled with a flowable dielectric material, which is converted to silicon oxide with the usage of microwave anneal. The microwave anneal enables conversion of the flowable dielectric material to silicon oxide without causing dopant diffusion. Additional well implants may be performed to form deep wells. Microwave anneal(s) may be used to anneal defects in the substrate and fins.
