本发明是关于一种自行对准接触的方法,特别是有关于一种具有牺牲型填充柱的自行对准接触的工艺方法。The invention relates to a method for self-alignment contact, in particular to a process method for self-alignment contact with sacrificial filled columns.
半导体集成电路的制作是极其复杂的过程,目的在于将特定电路所需的各种电子组件和线路,缩小制作在一小面积基底上。其中,各个组件必须藉由适当的内连导线(interconnect)来作电性连接,方得以发挥所期望的功能。一般所谓集成电路的金属化工艺(metallization),除了制作各层导线图之外,并藉助介层窗(contact/via)构造,作为组件接触区与导线之间,或是多层导线之间联系的信道。深亚微米工艺技术的发展更突显出某些特定半导体制造技术的重要性,如蚀刻平板印刷工艺(lithography process)和干式蚀刻等工艺。高精密型曝光仪器和高感光材料的发展已使光阻层上的亚微米影像可以容易地获得,再者,先进的干式蚀刻的设备与技术应用于超大规模集成电路芯片制造上亦使光阻层上的亚微米影像可以精确地描摹到被蚀刻的材料上。然而,要进一步缩小半导体芯片的尺寸除了上述先进的工艺技术的创新外,亦须研发其它特殊工艺或结构。The manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits is an extremely complex process, the purpose of which is to reduce and manufacture various electronic components and circuits required for a specific circuit on a small area substrate. Wherein, each component must be electrically connected by an appropriate interconnection wire (interconnect) in order to perform the desired function. Generally, the so-called metallization process of integrated circuits, in addition to making the wiring diagrams of each layer, also uses the contact/via structure as a connection between the contact area of the component and the wires, or between multi-layer wires. Channel. The development of deep submicron process technology highlights the importance of some specific semiconductor manufacturing technologies, such as etching lithography process (lithography process) and dry etching. The development of high-precision exposure equipment and high-photosensitive materials has made it easy to obtain submicron images on the photoresist layer. Furthermore, the application of advanced dry etching equipment and technology to the manufacture of VLSI chips has also made light Submicron images on resist layers can be traced precisely onto the material being etched. However, in order to further reduce the size of the semiconductor chip, in addition to the innovation of the above-mentioned advanced process technology, other special processes or structures must be developed.
自行对准接触工艺,因其可缩减蚀刻平板印刷工艺的步骤,并且可以缩小半导体内组件尺寸,从而缩小芯片的尺寸,它被广泛的应用在深亚微米工艺中。目前,由于集成电路的加工朝向ULSI发展,因此内部的电路密度愈来愈增加,随着集成电路的积集度日益增加,现今自行对准接触工艺尚有些技术障碍有待突破。以下将简述传统的自行对准接触工艺及其技术上的不足。The self-aligned contact process is widely used in the deep submicron process because it can reduce the steps of the etching lithography process and reduce the size of components in the semiconductor, thereby reducing the size of the chip. At present, since the processing of integrated circuits is developing towards ULSI, the internal circuit density is increasing. With the increasing integration of integrated circuits, there are still some technical obstacles to be overcome in the current self-alignment contact process. The traditional self-aligned contact process and its technical shortcomings will be briefly described below.
首先,请参见第1A图,其显示在基底2的表面上,形成一由氧化硅衬底层4、多晶硅层6和硅化钨层8所组成的导线结构,及在导线结构上形成氮化硅上盖层10和于氮化硅上盖层及导线结构两侧侧壁形成氮化硅间隔层12。其次,请参见第1B图,其显示在导线结构上全面性形成一介电层(氧化硅层)再施行蚀刻平板印刷和蚀刻程序,以定义此介电层而形成如图所示的介电层14及介于此介电层间的接触窗16。接着,请参见第1C图,全面性形成一导电层18,其填满接触窗16而与半导体基底20电性连接,再以化学机械研磨此导电层18,使露出介电层14,而使导电层18形成被绝缘隔离的接触插塞。First, please refer to Fig. 1A, which shows that on the surface of the
当上述传统的自行对准接触工艺形成接触窗16步骤,而施行蚀刻平板印刷和蚀刻氧化硅介电层时,若采用非等向性反应离子蚀刻使用CHF3作为蚀刻剂时,必需使氧化硅层与氮化硅层的被蚀刻速率的比率为20比1以上,以免损伤到氮化硅上盖层10和氮化硅间隔层12,而目前之制造技术尚无法达到此项目标。第2A图显示理想的自行对准接触工艺进行非等向性反应离子蚀刻所形成接触窗16,而第2B图显示进行非等向性反应离子蚀刻后,实际形成的接触窗16,由图中可见氮化硅上盖层10和氮化硅间隔层12已受到蚀刻的损失,而若是损坏太严重,将影响到绝缘及隔离效果,造成导线结构与接触插塞短路。When the above-mentioned traditional self-aligned contact process forms the
以上的缺点使得组件要再缩小尺度显得困难的多,尤其是在深亚微米处理中,只允许更小尺寸的线宽及高深宽比,而若要大幅改善反应离子蚀刻的高选择比目前还要困难,因此若无新的工艺技术突破,将使得产品合格率难以提升,且无法达到经济规模的量产。The above shortcomings make it much more difficult to scale down components, especially in deep sub-micron processing, which only allows smaller line widths and high aspect ratios, and it is still difficult to greatly improve the high selectivity ratio of reactive ion etching. It is difficult, so if there is no breakthrough in new process technology, it will be difficult to improve the product qualification rate, and it will not be possible to achieve mass production on an economical scale.
本发明的目的在于提供一种具有牺牲型填充柱的自行对准接触工艺方法,该方法于实施自行对准接触步骤时不会损害到其它隔离层,而影响隔离效果使得漏电流产生。The purpose of the present invention is to provide a self-aligned contact process method with sacrificial filled columns, which will not damage other isolation layers during the self-aligned contact step, but will affect the isolation effect and cause leakage current.
本发明另一目的在于提供一种具有牺牲型填充柱的自行对准接触工艺方法,该方法无需在反应离子蚀刻工艺中使用高氧化硅对于氮化硅选择比的蚀刻剂来达成自行对准接触步骤。Another object of the present invention is to provide a self-aligned contact process method with sacrificial filled pillars, which does not need to use an etchant with a high selectivity ratio of silicon oxide to silicon nitride in the reactive ion etching process to achieve self-aligned contact step.
本发明尚有另一目的在于提供一种具有牺牲型填充柱自行对准接触工艺方法,该方法采用的绝缘材料可大幅减低导线层间的寄生电容。Still another object of the present invention is to provide a self-aligned contact process method with sacrificial filled pillars. The insulating material used in the method can greatly reduce the parasitic capacitance between wire layers.
简单说,本发明揭露一种具有牺牲型填充柱的自行对准接触方法,首先,提供一半导体基底,在基底上依序形成由氧化硅衬底层、多晶硅层和硅化钨层所组成之导线结构,之后,于导线结构上形成一绝缘上盖层,接着定义出导线结构图。接着,于绝缘上盖层及导线结构两侧侧壁形成一导线绝缘间隔层。其次,顺应性形成一绝缘衬垫层以覆盖导线绝缘间隔层和导线结构表面。其次,全面性形成一牺牲层再施行蚀刻干板印刷和蚀刻程序,定义此牺牲层以形成牺牲型填充柱及介于此牺牲型填充柱间的开口。接着,全面性形成一不同于绝缘衬垫层材料的绝缘层以填满该牺牲型填充柱间的开口。然后,研磨此绝缘层,使露出该牺牲型填充柱的上表面。再者,去除此牺牲型填充柱而形成一接触窗开口。其次,经由接触窗开口利用非等向性反应离子蚀刻工艺去除覆盖于半导体基底上而介于该导线绝缘间隔层间的绝缘衬垫层。最后,全面性形成一导电层填满该接触窗开口而与半导体基底电性连接,再研磨此导电层,使露出绝缘层,而使导电层形成被绝缘隔离的接触插塞。In short, the present invention discloses a self-aligned contact method with sacrificial filled columns. First, a semiconductor substrate is provided, and a wiring structure composed of a silicon oxide substrate layer, a polysilicon layer and a tungsten silicide layer is sequentially formed on the substrate. , and then, forming an insulating upper cover layer on the wire structure, and then defining the wire structure diagram. Next, a wire insulating spacer layer is formed on the insulating upper cover layer and the sidewalls on both sides of the wire structure. Secondly, an insulating liner layer is conformally formed to cover the wire insulating spacer layer and the surface of the wire structure. Secondly, a sacrificial layer is formed on the whole, and then etching dry printing and etching procedures are performed to define the sacrificial layer to form sacrificial filling pillars and openings between the sacrificial filling pillars. Next, an insulating layer different from the material of the insulating liner layer is formed to fill the openings between the sacrificial filling columns. Then, the insulating layer is ground to expose the upper surface of the sacrificial filling column. Furthermore, the sacrificial filled column is removed to form a contact window opening. Secondly, an anisotropic reactive ion etching process is used to remove the insulating liner layer covering the semiconductor substrate and interposed between the wire insulating spacers through the opening of the contact window. Finally, a conductive layer is formed to fill the opening of the contact window and electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate, and then the conductive layer is ground to expose the insulating layer, so that the conductive layer forms a contact plug isolated by insulation.
综上所述,本发明所提供了一种具有牺牲型填充柱的自行对准接触方法,该方法于实施自行对准接触工艺步骤时不会损害到其它隔离层,进而影响隔离效果使得漏电流产生,且此方法无需在反应离子蚀刻方法中使用高氧化硅对于氮化硅选择比的蚀刻剂来达成自行对准接触,此外,本方法所形成覆盖在导线上的绝缘上盖层的厚度可缩减,从而缩小纵宽比,获得较佳的间隙绝缘层填充,本方法采用的绝缘材料可大幅减低导线层间的寄生电容。To sum up, the present invention provides a self-aligned contact method with sacrificial filled columns, which will not damage other isolation layers when implementing the self-aligned contact process steps, thereby affecting the isolation effect and causing leakage current produced, and this method does not need to use an etchant with a high selectivity ratio of silicon oxide to silicon nitride in the reactive ion etching method to achieve self-aligned contacts. In addition, the thickness of the insulating capping layer formed on the wires formed by this method can be Therefore, the aspect ratio is reduced, and better filling of the gap insulating layer is obtained. The insulating material used in this method can greatly reduce the parasitic capacitance between the wire layers.

本实施例为参照第5A至5F图,说明根据本发明改进方法的另一较佳实施例。首先,如第5A图所示,在半导体基底60的表面上,依序形成由一氧化硅衬底层62、一多晶硅层64和一硅化钨层66所组成的导线结构,例如先利用一热氧化步骤形成一薄氧化硅衬底层62,然后以一等离子体增强化学气相沉积(PECVD)成形一多晶硅层64和一硅化钨层66,之后,于导线结构上形成一绝缘上盖层68,例如以等离子体增强化学气相沉积(PECVD)或低压化学气相沉积(LPCVD)成形一厚度为200至2500的二氧化硅层、氮化硅层、氮氧化硅层、氧化铝层或碳化硅层。接着,施行蚀刻平板印刷和蚀刻程序,定义出如图所示的氧化硅衬底层62、多晶硅层64、硅化钨层66和绝缘上盖层68所组成的导线结构图。接着,顺应性形成一第一绝缘衬垫层70及一第二绝缘衬垫层72以覆盖导线结构表面,亦以一等离子体增强化学气相沉积(PECVD)或低压化学气相沉积(LPCVD)成形一厚度为100至600的氮化硅层70及一厚度为100至600的氧化物层72。This embodiment illustrates another preferred embodiment of the improved method according to the present invention with reference to Figures 5A to 5F. First, as shown in FIG. 5A, on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 60, a wiring structure composed of a silicon oxide substrate layer 62, a polysilicon layer 64 and a tungsten silicide layer 66 is sequentially formed, for example, using a thermal oxidation The step is to form a thin silicon oxide substrate layer 62, then form a polysilicon layer 64 and a tungsten silicide layer 66 by a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and then form an insulating upper cap layer 68 on the wiring structure, for example with Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) forms a silicon dioxide layer, silicon nitride layer, silicon oxynitride layer, aluminum oxide layer or silicon carbide layer with a thickness of 200 to 2500 Å. Next, implement etching lithography and etching procedures to define the wire structure diagram composed of silicon oxide substrate layer 62 , polysilicon layer 64 , tungsten silicide layer 66 and insulating upper cap layer 68 as shown in the figure. Next, a first insulating
其次,请参见第5B图,全面性形成一牺牲层再施行蚀刻平板印刷和蚀刻程序,定义此牺牲层以形成牺牲型填充柱74及介于此牺牲型填充柱间的开口76。此牺牲层可为一多晶硅层,由于之前已形成绝缘间隔层70及绝缘衬垫层72,所以可以防止蚀刻此多晶硅层时产生残留物而造成电性短路。Next, referring to FIG. 5B , a sacrificial layer is fully formed and then etched lithography and etching procedures are performed to define the sacrificial layer to form sacrificial filled
接着,请参见第5C图,全面性形成一不同于绝缘衬垫层材料的绝缘层以填满该牺牲型填充柱间的开口76,例如以一等离子体增强化学气相沉积(PECVD)成形一厚度5000至8000的氧化物层。Next, referring to FIG. 5C, an insulating layer different from the material of the insulating liner layer is formed comprehensively to fill the opening 76 between the sacrificial filling columns, for example, a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is used to form a thickness 5000 to 8000 Å oxide layer.
然后,利用平坦化工艺,如化学机械研磨,研磨此绝缘层,使露出该牺牲型填充柱的上表面,形成如图所示的绝缘层78的图案,例如调整工艺参数中的转盘速度,下压力,研磨垫类型和研磨剂种类以控制工艺中的移除率,均匀性和选择性,磨除此绝缘层之上部。Then, use a planarization process, such as chemical mechanical polishing, to grind the insulating layer, so that the upper surface of the sacrificial filled column is exposed, and the pattern of the insulating
再者,请参见第5D图,利用等向性干蚀刻工艺或等向性湿蚀刻工艺对牺牲型填充柱进行回蚀刻以去除此牺牲型填充柱而形成一接触窗开口77。Furthermore, referring to FIG. 5D , the sacrificial filling column is etched back by an isotropic dry etching process or an isotropic wet etching process to remove the sacrificial filling column to form a
其次,请参见第5E图,经由接触窗开口77利用非等向性反应离子蚀刻工艺以去除覆盖于半导体基底之上而介于该导线绝缘间隔层间的绝缘衬垫层。Next, referring to FIG. 5E , anisotropic reactive ion etching process is used through the
最后,请参见第5F图,全面性形成一导电层79,其穿过绝缘层78而与半导体基底60电性连接,再以化学机械研磨此导电层79,使露出绝缘层78,而使导电层79形成被绝缘隔离的接触插塞,其中,此导电层是溅镀多晶硅层或钨层。Finally, referring to FIG. 5F, a
