Description

存储单元阵列的 制造方法Manufacturing method of memory cell array

本发明涉及一种存储单元阵列(Memory Cell Array)的制造方法,特别是涉及一种具有埋藏位线(Buried Bit Line)的存储单元阵列的制造方法。此埋藏的位线可以自动对准(Self-Aligned)存储单元阵列中的转移晶体管(TransferTransistor),且不会占据额外的空间,可以应用于制造高密度(High Density)的存储单元阵列。The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a memory cell array (Memory Cell Array), in particular to a method for manufacturing a memory cell array with a buried bit line (Buried Bit Line). The buried bit line can be self-aligned to the transfer transistor (Transistor) in the memory cell array without occupying additional space, and can be applied to manufacture a high-density (High Density) memory cell array.

提高元件的效能(Performance)和减低制作工艺花费是半导体制作工艺的发展方向。这些目标已在亚微米(Sub-Micron)或是微小型化(Micro-Miniaturization)的制作工艺中成功地达到。如果需要往更小规模(Features)的制作工艺发展,元件中的电容品质会被破坏,且电阻效应会变得明显,使得元件的效能降低。且由于规模的减小,晶片(Chip)的尺寸也会变小,使得集成度增加而个别晶片的制作成本会降低。Improving device performance (Performance) and reducing manufacturing process costs are the development directions of semiconductor manufacturing processes. These goals have been successfully achieved in sub-micron (Sub-Micron) or micro-miniaturization (Micro-Miniaturization) manufacturing processes. If it is necessary to develop to a smaller scale (Features) manufacturing process, the capacitance quality in the device will be destroyed, and the resistance effect will become obvious, which will reduce the performance of the device. And due to the reduction of the scale, the size of the chip (Chip) will also become smaller, so that the integration level will be increased and the manufacturing cost of individual chips will be reduced.

规模的减小的动态随机存取存储器(Dynamic Random Access Memory;DRAM)元件的制作工艺中非常重要。一个DRAM存储单元中,通常都具有堆叠电容(Stacked Capacitor)的结构,而堆叠电容的位置是在转移晶体管的源极(Source)或漏极(Drain)区之上。至于DRAM存储单元中的位线则包括一金属线,沿着一绝缘层延伸出去,绝缘层会透过一接触窗(Contact Hole)与源极或漏极区相通。现有的一种缩小DRAM存储单元中位线面积的方法,是利用埋藏的位线的观念,例如美国专利5250457和5364808,都会提出一种在转移晶体管制造埋藏的位线的方法。然而上述这些发明中的埋藏位线会使得硅基底上的位线连接(Bit Line Coupling)增加,如果靠源极/漏极区与硅基底绝缘,则不可以有缺陷(Defect),且制造上其成品率(Yield)难控制。It is very important in the manufacturing process of the reduced-scale dynamic random access memory (Dynamic Random Access Memory; DRAM) element. A DRAM memory cell usually has a stacked capacitor structure, and the stacked capacitor is located above the source (Source) or drain (Drain) region of the transfer transistor. As for the bit line in the DRAM memory cell, it includes a metal line extending along an insulating layer, and the insulating layer communicates with the source or drain region through a contact hole. An existing method for reducing the area of bit lines in DRAM memory cells is to use the concept of buried bit lines. For example, US Patent Nos. 5,250,457 and 5,364,808 both propose a method for manufacturing buried bit lines in transfer transistors. However, the buried bit lines in the above-mentioned inventions will increase the bit line connection (Bit Line Coupling) on the silicon substrate. If the source/drain region is insulated from the silicon substrate, there will be no defects (Defect), and the manufacturing Its yield (Yield) is difficult to control.

有鉴于此,本发明的主要目的是提出一种存储单元阵列的制造方法,且特别是有关于一种具有埋藏的位线的存储单元阵列的制造方法。将位线埋藏于绝缘氧化层中,或在浅渠沟(Shallow Trench)中,或也可在场氧化层(FieldOxide Region)之中。因此位线不会占据额外的空间,可以提高元件的密度,且位线连接减少,与硅基底之间靠场氧化层可自动绝缘隔离。In view of this, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method of fabricating a memory cell array, and in particular to a method of fabricating a memory cell array with buried bit lines. The bit line is buried in the insulating oxide layer, or in the shallow trench (Shallow Trench), or in the field oxide layer (FieldOxide Region). Therefore, the bit line does not occupy extra space, the density of the components can be increased, and the connection of the bit line is reduced, and the field oxide layer can be automatically isolated from the silicon substrate.

为达到上述目的,本发明提出一种存储单元阵列的制造方法,其步骤至少包括在一半导体基底上形成多个梁沟。然后沉积一第一绝缘层,用以填满多个渠沟,形成多个绝缘塞。在半导体基底上沉积一第二绝缘层,在其上形成一第一开口,露出半导体基底,以及露出多个绝缘塞中的一绝缘塞的角落。然后蚀刻绝缘塞角落,形成一凹槽,在凹槽中沉积一掺杂的第一多晶硅层。之后再沉积一导电层,用以填满凹槽,再进行凹陷步骤,形成一导电塞。在导电塞上及周缘形成一第三绝缘层,形成一埋藏的位线。在半导体基底上形成一转移晶体管,包括一栅极与源极/漏极区。进行一回火步骤,使得源极/漏极区和掺杂的第一多晶硅层中的杂质会扩散而相接触。在上述各层上沉积一第四绝缘层,并在其上形成一第二开口,露出源极/漏极区。在第二开口周缘形成一第二多晶硅层,用以填满第二开口,形成一下电极,在下电极上形成一介电层,以及在介电层上沉积一第三多晶硅层,用以形成一上电极。于是下电极、介电层和上电极形成一堆叠电容的结构。To achieve the above object, the present invention proposes a method for manufacturing a memory cell array, the steps of which at least include forming a plurality of beam grooves on a semiconductor substrate. Then a first insulating layer is deposited to fill up the plurality of trenches to form a plurality of insulating plugs. A second insulating layer is deposited on the semiconductor base, and a first opening is formed thereon to expose the semiconductor base and a corner of an insulating plug among the plurality of insulating plugs. Then the corner of the insulating plug is etched to form a groove, and a doped first polysilicon layer is deposited in the groove. Afterwards, a conductive layer is deposited to fill up the groove, and then a recess step is performed to form a conductive plug. A third insulating layer is formed on and around the conductive plug to form a buried bit line. A transfer transistor is formed on the semiconductor substrate, including a gate and source/drain regions. A tempering step is performed so that impurities in the source/drain regions and the doped first polysilicon layer are diffused into contact. A fourth insulating layer is deposited on each of the above layers, and a second opening is formed thereon to expose the source/drain region. forming a second polysilicon layer on the periphery of the second opening to fill the second opening, forming a lower electrode, forming a dielectric layer on the lower electrode, and depositing a third polysilicon layer on the dielectric layer, used to form an upper electrode. Then the lower electrode, the dielectric layer and the upper electrode form a stack capacitor structure.

First, grow a thin gate insulating layer 71 (Gate Insulator Layer), such as silicon dioxide, on the semiconductor substrate 10 at a temperature between about 850° C. and about 950° C. The thickness is between about 50 Angstroms and about 200 Angstroms. Then, at a temperature between about 550° C. and about 650° C., a gate 13, such as a polysilicon layer, is formed on the gate insulating layer 71 by using a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition method. The thickness of the gate 13 is about 2000 angstroms to about 4000 angstroms. Between Angles.

To about 100 KeV, the dose is between about 1×10 14 atoms/cm 2 to about 1×10 16 atoms/cm 2 .

接着,请参照图7a,绘示的为根据本发明的一优选实施例,一种存储单元阵列制造步骤沿图1AA′线的剖面示意图。在半导体基底10已形成有轻掺杂的源极/漏极区73、重掺杂的源极/漏极区75以及栅极绝缘层71,上述各层并没有被第三绝缘层61所覆盖。然后进行一快速热回火(Rapid ThermalAnneal)步骤,温度约在950℃到约1050℃之间,进行时间约在10秒到约60秒之间。可以使得重掺染的源极/漏极区75、轻掺杂的源极/漏极区73和掺杂的第一多晶硅层41的杂质获得能量,开始扩散而彼此互相接触。因此掺杂的第一多晶硅层41与重掺杂的源极/漏极区75和轻掺杂的源极/漏极区73的位置会自动对准,也即可将埋藏的位线51与重掺杂的源极/漏极区75和轻掺杂的源极/漏极区73的位置自动对准。这样可以省略后续光刻制作工艺(Photolithography)的对准步骤,而不必担心光刻的曝光对准不易控制。Next, please refer to FIG. 7 a , which shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a manufacturing process of a memory cell array along line AA' in FIG. 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A lightly doped source/drain region 73, a heavily doped source/drain region 75, and a gate insulating layer 71 have been formed on the semiconductor substrate 10, and the above layers are not covered by the third insulating layer 61 . Then carry out a rapid thermal tempering (Rapid Thermal Anneal) step, the temperature is between about 950 ° C to about 1050 ° C, and the time is between about 10 seconds to about 60 seconds. Impurities in the heavily doped source/drain region 75 , the lightly doped source/drain region 73 and the doped first polysilicon layer 41 can gain energy and begin to diffuse to contact each other. Therefore, the positions of the doped first polysilicon layer 41, the heavily doped source/drain region 75 and the lightly doped source/drain region 73 will be automatically aligned, that is, the buried bit line 51 is self-aligned with the heavily doped source/drain region 75 and the lightly doped source/drain region 73. In this way, the alignment step of the subsequent photolithography manufacturing process (Photolithography) can be omitted, and there is no need to worry that the exposure alignment of the photolithography is not easy to control.
