Formation method of PMOS transistor

Abstract

The invention relates to a formation method of a PMOS transistor. The formation method includes the following steps that: a semiconductor substrate is provided, and the surface of the semiconductor substrate is provided with a plurality of discrete gate structures; one first side wall is formed on the upper surface and two sides of each gate structure; the semiconductor substrate under adjacent first side walls is oxidized, so that an oxide layer is formed; a second side wall covering the first side wall is formed at the upper surface and two sides of each gate structure, the total thickness of the first side wall and the second side wall is the thickness of a target side wall; the oxide layer and the semiconductor substrate below the oxide layer are etched, so that a first groove can be formed; the residual of the oxide layer is removed until recesses formed at the side walls of the groove; the semiconductor substrate between the recessed side walls and the bottom of the groove are removed through etching until a second Sigma-shaped groove can be formed; and a silicon germanium layer is formed in the second groove. The performance of the PMOS transistor formed by the formation method is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a method for forming a PMOS transistor. Background technique [0002] In the existing manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, since stress can change the energy gap and carrier mobility of silicon materials, improving the performance of MOS transistors through stress has become an increasingly common technical means. Specifically, by properly controlling the stress, the mobility of carriers (electrons in NMOS transistors and holes in PMOS transistors) can be increased, thereby increasing the driving current, thereby greatly improving the performance of MOS transistors. [0003] At present, Embedded SiGe Technology is usually used to form the source and drain regions of PMOS transistors, that is, silicon germanium materials are formed in the regions where the source and drain regions need to be formed, and then doped to form the source regions of PMOS transistors...
