Generally, a capacitor may be disposed over a transistor, and the capacitor is electrically connected to the transistor through a contact (contact) connected between the capacitor and source/drain regions of the transistor.
In the current manufacturing process of the dram, a conductive material is generally formed between two adjacent active regions, and then an etching process is performed on the conductive material to form the contact windows in the two active regions respectively. However, in order to avoid the contact windows in two adjacent active regions contacting each other to cause a short circuit, the etching degree is generally increased to avoid the conductive material remaining between the two active regions. As such, the active region is often damaged by overetching. In addition, if the etching degree is reduced to avoid damage to the active regions, a short circuit may be generated due to the conductive material remaining between the two active regions.

Fig. 1A to 1H are schematic cross-sectional views of a manufacturing process of a dynamic random access memory according to an embodiment of the invention.
First, referring to fig. 1A, a substrate 100 is provided. In the present embodiment, the substrate 100 is a silicon substrate, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Next, an isolation structure 102 is formed in the substrate 100 to define a first active region 100a and a second active region 100b. In the present embodiment, the isolation structure 102 is a shallow trench isolation (shallow trench isolation, STI) structure, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
Then, a first transistor TR1 is formed on the substrate 100 in the first active region 100a, and a second transistor TR2 is formed on the substrate 100 in the second active region 100 b. In the present embodiment, the first transistor TR1 and the second transistor TR2 are each transistors having a buried gate, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
In this embodiment, the first transistor TR1 may include a gate 104a formed in the substrate 100, a gate dielectric layer 106a formed between the gate 104a and the substrate 100, and a doped region 108a and a doped region 110a formed in the substrate 100 on both sides of the gate 104a, wherein the doped region 108a is far from the isolation structure 102, the doped region 110a is adjacent to the isolation structure 102, and the doped region 108a and the doped region 110a may serve as source/drain regions of the first transistor TR 1. In addition, in the present embodiment, the second transistor TR2 may include a gate 104b formed in the substrate 100, a gate dielectric layer 106b formed between the gate 104b and the substrate 100, and a doped region 108b and a doped region 110b formed in the substrate 100 on both sides of the gate 104b, wherein the doped region 108b is far from the isolation structure 102, the doped region 110b is adjacent to the isolation structure 102, and the doped region 108b and the doped region 110b may serve as source/drain regions of the second transistor TR 2. The above-described structures of the first transistor TR1 and the second transistor TR2 are merely exemplary, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
Next, a first bit line structure 112a is formed over the doped region 108a, and a second bit line structure 112b is formed over the doped region 108 b. In the present embodiment, the first bit line structure 112a includes a first bit line BL1 and a first bit line contact BC1 formed between the first bit line BL1 and the doped region 108a, such that the first bit line BL1 can be electrically connected to the first transistor TR1 through the first bit line contact BC 1. In addition, in the present embodiment, the second bit line structure 112b includes a second bit line BL2 and a second bit line contact BC2 formed between the second bit line BL2 and the doped region 108b, such that the second bit line BL2 can be electrically connected to the second transistor TR2 through the second bit line contact BC 2. The above-described architectures of the first bit line structure 112a and the second bit line structure 112b are merely exemplary, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
The methods for forming the first transistor TR1, the second transistor TR2, the first bit line structure 112a and the second bit line structure 112b are well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described herein.
After forming the first bit line structure 112a and the second bit line structure 112b, a dielectric layer 114 is formed on the substrate 100. Dielectric layer 114 may act as an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer. In the present embodiment, the dielectric layer 114 covers the first bit line structure 112a, the second bit line structure 112b, and portions of the first transistor TR1 and the second transistor TR2, and exposes the isolation structure 102, the doped region 110a of the first transistor TR1 adjacent to the isolation structure 102, and the doped region 110b of the second transistor TR1 adjacent to the isolation structure 102.
Next, referring to fig. 1B, an epitaxial growth process (epitaxially growing process) is performed to form a first epitaxial layer 116a and a second epitaxial layer 116B on the doped region 110a and the doped region 110B exposed by the dielectric layer 114, respectively. Since the material of the isolation structure 102 is typically silicon oxide or the like, the epitaxial layer formed during the epitaxial growth process is not formed on the isolation structure 102. Furthermore, the epitaxial layer formed may have a curved top surface, i.e., the thickness of the epitaxial layer may decrease from the central portion toward the edge portion, based on the characteristics of the epitaxial growth process. Furthermore, depending on the time of epitaxial growth, the edge portion of the epitaxial layer may extend slightly onto the top surface of the isolation structure 102. Importantly, in this embodiment, the time of the epitaxial growth must be controlled to avoid the first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116b being formed to extend too far to contact each other on the top surface of the isolation structure 102. That is, in the present embodiment, the first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116b may be separated from each other by the isolation structure 102. In this embodiment, the maximum thickness of each of the first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116b is, for example, between 9nm and 13 nm.
After forming the first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116b, a layer of insulating material 118 is conformally formed over the dielectric layer 114, the first epitaxial layer 116a, the isolation structure 102, and the second epitaxial layer 116 b. In the present embodiment, the material of the insulating material layer 118 is silicon oxide, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
Then, referring to fig. 1C, an etching process is performed to remove the insulating material layer 118 on the surface of the dielectric layer 114, the top surface of the first epitaxial layer 116a, and the top surface of the second epitaxial layer 116, and to leave the insulating material layer 118 between the first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116 b. As such, the insulating material layer 118 remaining between the first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116b forms a first insulating portion 120 on the isolation structure 112. Thus, the first insulating portion 120 isolates the first epitaxial layer 116a from the second epitaxial layer 116 b. In the etching process described above, the top portions of the first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116b may be slightly removed depending on the etching time.
Next, referring to fig. 1D, a conductive layer 122 is formed on the first epitaxial layer 116a, the second epitaxial layer 116b, and the first insulating portion 120. The conductive layer 122 is used to form a contact window for connecting the capacitor and the transistor. In the present embodiment, the material of the conductive layer 122 is polysilicon, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The method of forming the conductive layer 122 may include the following steps. A conductive material layer is formed on the substrate 100 to cover the dielectric layer 114, the first epitaxial layer 116a, the second epitaxial layer 116b, and the first insulating portion 120. Thereafter, an etching process is performed to remove the conductive material layer on the top surface of the dielectric layer 114 and portions of the conductive material layer on the first epitaxial layer 116a, the second epitaxial layer 116b and the first insulating portion 120. In this way, the remaining conductive material layer forms the conductive layer 122. The thickness of the conductive layer 122 may be determined according to practical requirements, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
After forming the conductive layer 122, a mask material layer 124 is conformally formed over the dielectric layer 114 and the conductive layer 122. In the present embodiment, the material of the mask material layer 1242 is silicon nitride, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
Then, referring to fig. 1E, an etching process is performed to remove the mask material layer 124 on the surface of the dielectric layer 114 and a portion of the mask material layer 114 on the conductive layer 122. In this way, the first mask layer 124a and the second mask layer 124b are formed on the conductive layer 122. The first mask layer 124a is located on a sidewall of the portion of the dielectric layer 114 covering the first transistor TR1, and the second mask layer 124b is located on a sidewall of the portion of the dielectric layer 114 covering the second transistor TR 2. That is, a first mask layer 124a is formed on the sidewalls of the dielectric layer 114 and over the doped region 110a, and a second mask layer 124b is formed on the sidewalls of the dielectric layer 114 and over the doped region 110 b.
After forming the first mask layer 124a and the second mask layer 124b, an etching process is performed using the dielectric layer 114, the first mask layer 124a and the second mask layer 124b as etching masks, so as to form the exposed conductive layer 122, thereby forming a first conductive portion 126a on the first epitaxial layer 116a and a second conductive portion 126b on the second epitaxial layer 116 b. During the etching process, the corners of the first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116b may be slightly removed. However, even in the case where the corners of the first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116b are slightly removed, the first active region 100a and the second active region 100b are not damaged.
Next, referring to fig. 1F, an insulating material layer (not shown) is formed on the substrate 100 to cover the dielectric layer 114, the first mask layer 124a, the second mask layer 124b, the first conductive portion 126a, the second conductive portion 126b, the first epitaxial layer 116a, the second epitaxial layer 116b and the first insulating portion 120. In the present embodiment, the material of the insulating material layer is silicon oxide, but the present invention is not limited thereto, as long as the material of the insulating material layer is different from the materials of the first mask layer 124a and the second mask layer 124 b. Then, an etching process is performed to remove the insulating material layer on the top surface of the dielectric layer 114, the top surface of the first mask layer 124a, and the top surface of the second mask layer 124 b. In this way, the second insulating portion 128 is formed on the first insulating portion 120. In this embodiment, the first insulating portion 120 and the second insulating portion 128 form an insulating structure 129 for separating the contact structures in the adjacent first active region 100a and the second active region 100b, which will be described in detail later.
After the second insulating portion 128 is formed, the first mask layer 124a and the second mask layer 124b are removed to expose the first conductive portion 126a and the second conductive portion 126b. Since the material of the second insulating portion 128 is different from the materials of the first mask layer 124a and the second mask layer 124b, the second insulating portion 128 is not seriously affected in removing the first mask layer 124a and the second mask layer 124 b.
Then, referring to fig. 1G, a first contact 130a is formed on the first conductive portion 126a, and a second contact 130b is formed on the second conductive portion 126 b. In the present embodiment, the first contact 130a includes a contact layer 132a and a barrier layer 134a surrounding the sidewall and the bottom of the contact layer 132a, and the second contact 130b includes a contact layer 132b and a barrier layer 134b surrounding the sidewall and the bottom of the contact layer 132b, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The material of the contact layer 132a and the contact layer 132b may be tungsten, and the material of the barrier layer 134a and the barrier layer 134b may be titanium nitride, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the method for forming the first contact 130a and the second contact 130b may include the following steps. A barrier material layer is conformally formed over the dielectric layer 114, the first conductive portion 126a, the second conductive portion 126b, and the second insulating portion 128, then a conductive material layer is formed over the barrier material layer, and then the barrier material layer and the conductive material layer are removed over the top surface of the dielectric layer 114 and over the top surface of the second insulating portion 128.
In the present embodiment, the first conductive portion 126a and the first contact window 130a form a first contact structure 136a on the first epitaxial layer 116a, and the second conductive portion 126b and the second contact window 130b form a second contact structure 136b on the second epitaxial layer 116 b. The first contact structure 136a and the second contact structure 136b are separated by the second insulating portion 128 of the insulating structure 129. As such, the first epitaxial layer 116a and the first contact structure 136a in the first active region 100a electrically connected to the doped region 110a may be separated from the second epitaxial layer 116b and the second contact structure 136b in the second active region 100b electrically connected to the doped region 110b by the insulating structure 129.
Then, referring to fig. 1H, a first capacitor C1 electrically connected to the first contact structure 136a and a second capacitor C2 electrically connected to the second contact structure 136b are formed on the dielectric layer 114. In the present embodiment, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 are cup-shaped capacitors, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The first and second capacitors C1 and C2 may each include a lower electrode E1, an upper electrode E2, and an insulating layer 138 formed between the lower electrode E1 and the upper electrode E2. Thus, the DRAM of the present invention is formed.
In the method for manufacturing the dynamic random access memory of the present invention, since the first insulating portion 120 is formed on the isolation structure 102 before the first conductive portion 126a and the second conductive portion 126b are formed, the first insulating portion 120 can be used as an etching stop layer in the process of etching the conductive layer 122, as shown in fig. 1E, without excessively etching the conductive layer 122, so that the first insulating portion 120 completely separates the first conductive portion 126a from the second conductive portion 126b, and damage to the first active region 100a and the second active region 100b is effectively avoided.
In addition, in the method for manufacturing the dynamic random access memory of the present invention, before forming the first insulating portion 120, an epitaxial growth process is performed to grow the first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116b on both sides of the isolation structure 102. The first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116b can be simply separated by the nature of the epitaxial growth process itself, so that additional process steps are not required to separate the two, and the first insulating portion 120 can be accurately formed on the isolation structure 102 between the first epitaxial layer 116a and the second epitaxial layer 116b in the subsequent steps.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto, but rather may be modified and altered by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
