り小さくすることができない。(Prior Art) Conventionally, in a fine device such as a VLSI, the distance between the contact hole and the lower wiring or electrode layer is determined by the alignment accuracy of the photolithography process.
It cannot be made smaller than a certain amount. In particular, when the underlying wiring or electrode layer is thick or the size of the contact hole is small, the aspect ratio of the contact hole becomes large. Therefore, unless the size of the contact is increased, the metal formed on it There may be a problem that the wiring layer is disconnected, and the contact hole needs to be as large as possible. In that case, the distance between the contact hole and the lower electrode layer becomes close, and the risk of short-circuiting between the upper wiring layer and the lower wiring layer formed after opening the contact hole increases, so the distance between the contact hole and the lower electrode layer is made too small. I can't.

However, the above-mentioned insulating film is required to have high electrolytic strength in both polarities, low defect density, and further thinning. If the insulating film is thick, the size of the contact hole becomes small and it cannot be used for a fine device. For example, S deposited by a normal CVD method
Since the electric field strength is low and the defect density is high in the iO 2 layer,
Sufficient reliability cannot be obtained and, of course, thinning cannot be achieved.

The distance is shortened as much as possible to achieve high integration of the device.

Depositing a triple layer of SiO 2 / Si 3 N 4. By removing the three-layer film at the bottom of the contact hole and then forming an upper electrode or wiring layer, the upper and lower wiring or electrode layers have a contact hole and lower electrode layer Even if it is close to the upper electrode layer, it is insulated from the upper electrode layer by the three-layer insulating film deposited next. Further, since the three-layer insulating film has a low defect density and a high electric field strength, it can be thinned, and thus the size of the contact hole can be minimized. As a result, the distance between the contact hole and the lower electrode layer can be designed to be significantly smaller than before,
The device can be highly integrated.

FIG. 5 to FIG. 5 are manufacturing process diagrams of the same embodiment. This is an EPROM in which the first electrode layer has a high height.
This is an example when applied to (ultraviolet ray erasing type PROM).
Fig. 1 shows a general EP before forming contact holes.
In a cross-sectional view of a ROM, 1 is a P-type silicon substrate, 2 is an N + diffusion layer, 3 is an EPROM cell made of two-layer polysilicon (corresponding to the first electrode / wiring layer), and 4 is an interlayer insulating film. Is. After that, photolithography for opening contact holes is performed. As shown in FIG. 2, a resist 5 is applied, the resist 5 is patterned by a photolithography process, and RIE (reactive ion.
The contact hole 6 is opened by the etching method.
In this case, since the distance between the contact hole 6 and the polysilicon 3 is short, the insulating layer on the side surface of the polysilicon electrode 3 is extremely thin at the portion 7. If the second layer (upper layer), for example, an Al wiring layer is deposited as it is, the probability that the Al wiring layer and the polysilicon electrode 3 are short-circuited due to a defect in the insulating film naturally increases. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the SiO 2 film 8 / Si 3 N 4 film 9 / SiO 2 film 3 is formed by LPCVD (low pressure CVD), for example.
Layer films are deposited, for example, 100/120 / 100Å respectively. The defect density of this three-layer film is usually 0.01 cm −2 or less, the electric field strength is usually 30 V or more regardless of polarity, and the leak current when 20 V is applied is also 10 −10 A / mm 2 or less.
上記3層膜と同様の特性はSi3N4/SiO2/Si
3N4の組み合わせでも実現できる。The characteristics similar to those of the above three-layer film are Si 3 N 4 / SiO 2 / Si
It can be realized by a combination of 3 N 4 .

This completed the structure of the two-layer polysilicon and the one-layer Al layer.

高集積化が可能となると同時に、従来生じていた配線層
間のショートを大幅に低減できる。According to the present invention, conventionally, the distance between the lower electrode and the contact hole had to be designed to be about 1 μm.
It can be greatly reduced. Theoretically, a short circuit does not occur even if the thickness is 0 μm, but the extent to which it can be shortened depends on the use and type of the lower electrode or wiring layer. As a result, high integration can be achieved, and at the same time, a short circuit between wiring layers, which has conventionally occurred, can be significantly reduced.
