Description

三維快閃記憶體裝置的製造方法    Manufacturing method of three-dimensional flash memory device   

本發明關於在高縱橫比(Aspect ratio)條件下對無空隙(void-free)介電質間隙進行填充的三維快閃記憶體裝置的製造方法,尤其關於藉由採用基於高壓超臨界的氧化物組成比最佳化技術來以超臨界蒸鍍步驟或高壓緻密化(Densification)步驟形成縱橫比非常大的三維快閃記憶體裝置的介電填料(Dielectric filler)的三維快閃記憶體裝置的製造方法。 The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional flash memory device that fills a void-free dielectric gap under high aspect ratio conditions, and more particularly, by using a high-pressure supercritical-based oxide Manufacturing of a three-dimensional flash memory device using a composition ratio optimization technique to form a dielectric filler of a three-dimensional flash memory device with a very large aspect ratio in a supercritical evaporation step or a high-pressure densification step. method.

通常,快閃記憶體(flash memory)裝置根據單元結構及工作來分為與非(NAND)類型和或非(NOR)類型。 Generally, a flash memory device is classified into a NAND type and a NOR type according to a unit structure and operation.

並且,根據用於單位單元的電荷儲存層(電荷儲存膜)的物質種類來分為浮動柵極類的記憶體裝置、金屬氧化物氮化物半導體(Metal Oxide Nitride Oxide Semiconductor;MONOS)結構或氮化矽半導體(Silicon Oxide Nitride Oxide Semiconductor;SONOS)結構的記憶體裝置。 In addition, the memory device is classified into a floating gate type memory device, a metal oxide nitride semiconductor (Metal Oxide Nitride Oxide Semiconductor; MONOS) structure, or a nitride according to the type of the material used in the charge storage layer (charge storage film) of the unit cell. A memory device with a Silicon Oxide Nitride Oxide Semiconductor (SONOS) structure.

浮動柵極類的記憶體裝置為利用勢阱(potential well)來實現記憶特性的裝置,金屬氧化物氮化物半導體或氮化矽半導體類藉由利用在作為介電膜的矽氮化膜的容積(bulk)內所存在的浮動柵或存在於介電膜與介電膜之間的界面等的浮動柵來實現 記憶特性。上述金屬氧化物氮化物半導體是指控制柵極由金屬形成的情況,氮化矽半導體是指控制柵極由多晶矽形成的情況。 A floating gate type memory device is a device that uses a potential well to achieve memory characteristics. A metal oxide nitride semiconductor or a silicon nitride semiconductor type uses a volume of a silicon nitride film as a dielectric film. A floating gate existing in a bulk or a floating gate existing at an interface between the dielectric film and the dielectric film, etc., to realize the memory characteristics. The aforementioned metal oxide nitride semiconductor refers to a case where the control gate is formed of a metal, and a silicon nitride semiconductor refers to a case where the control gate is formed of polycrystalline silicon.

尤其,與浮動柵極類型的快閃記憶體相比,氮化矽半導體或金屬氧化物氮化物半導體類型的優點在於,具有相對容易的擴展(scaling)和得到改善的持續性特性(endurance)及均勻的門限電壓分佈。但是,在為了高集成化而使得隧道絕緣膜及閉塞絕緣膜的厚度變薄的情況下,在記錄保存性(retention)和持續性方面導致特性下降。 In particular, compared with a flash memory of a floating gate type, a silicon nitride semiconductor or a metal oxide nitride semiconductor type has advantages in that it has relatively easy scaling and improved endurance and Uniform threshold voltage distribution. However, when the thicknesses of the tunnel insulating film and the blocking insulating film are reduced for high integration, characteristics are degraded in terms of record retention and durability.

近來,快閃記憶體裝置根據持續擴展來實現大容量化,由此在多個領域被用作儲存用記憶體,並得以實現20nm級128Gbit產品的量產,預計將藉由浮動柵極技術(floating gate technology)來擴展到10nm以下水準。 Recently, flash memory devices have achieved large-capacity based on continuous expansion. As a result, they have been used as storage memory in various fields, and mass production of 20nm-class 128Gbit products has been realized. It is expected to use floating gate technology ( floating gate technology) to scale below 10nm.

並且,為了實現快閃記憶體裝置的高集成化,從二維結構變為三維結構,由於與非(NAND)快閃記憶體裝置可在無需在每個儲存單元(cell)形成觸點(contact)的情況下以串(string)形態連接儲存單元,因而可實現垂直方向上的多種三維結構。 In addition, in order to achieve high integration of flash memory devices, from two-dimensional structure to three-dimensional structure, NAND flash memory devices can eliminate the need to form contacts in each storage cell. In the case of), the storage units are connected in a string form, so that a variety of three-dimensional structures in the vertical direction can be realized.

這種三維與非快閃記憶體以在Si容積內配置N+接合(junction)擴散層並將其用作共同源極線的形態形成。這種結構具有優點,但由於擴散層的電阻大,因而產生儲存單元特性劣化的現象。 This three-dimensional and non-flash memory is formed in a configuration in which an N + junction diffusion layer is arranged in a Si volume and used as a common source line. This structure has advantages, but since the resistance of the diffusion layer is large, a phenomenon that the characteristics of the memory cell are deteriorated occurs.

另一方面,還對縮小用於使儲存單元的各個裝置電隔離的隔離區域的尺寸進行著技術開發。在上述隔離區域形成磁場氧化膜的矽局部氧化(local oxidation of silicon;LOCOS)步驟中,使得磁場氧化膜向上述活性區域侵入的上述活性區域的有效面積縮小的鳥嘴式線腳(bird's beak)成為問題。為了改善這種矽局部氧化的問題,提出了淺溝道隔離(shallow trench isolation; STI)步驟。在上述淺溝道隔離步驟中,隨著設計規則(design rule)減少,使得溝道的寬度變小,但是溝道的深度幾乎恆定,因而導致溝道的縱橫比逐漸增加。因此,使用絕緣物完整地填充上述溝道內的空間逐漸變得困難。 On the other hand, technical development is also being made to reduce the size of the isolation area for electrically isolating the devices of the storage unit. In the step of local oxidation of silicon (LOCOS) in which a magnetic field oxide film is formed in the isolation region, a bird's beak of the active area in which the magnetic field oxide film penetrates into the active region is reduced. problem. In order to improve the problem of local oxidation of silicon, a shallow trench isolation (STI) step is proposed. In the above shallow trench isolation step, as the design rule is reduced, the width of the channel becomes smaller, but the depth of the channel is almost constant, thus causing the aspect ratio of the channel to gradually increase. Therefore, it becomes difficult to completely fill the space in the channel with an insulator.

The structure of the upper selection gate 14.

首先,如圖4所示,在半導體基板10上複數層層疊用於控制柵極15的層間絕緣膜和犧牲層200來形成成型結構體。半導體基板10可以為半導體物質,例如,可以為矽單晶基板、鍺單 晶基板或矽-鍺單晶基板或絕緣體上半導體(Semiconductor on Insulator;SOI)基板。例如,半導體基板10可包括在用於保護半導體基板上的複數個電晶體的絕緣層上所配置的半導體層(例如,矽層、矽-鍺層或鍺層) First, as shown in FIG. 4, an interlayer insulating film for controlling the gate 15 and a sacrificial layer 200 are laminated on the semiconductor substrate 10 to form a molded structure. The semiconductor substrate 10 may be a semiconductor substance, for example, it may be a silicon single crystal substrate, a germanium single crystal substrate, a silicon-germanium single crystal substrate, or a semiconductor on insulator (SOI) substrate. For example, the semiconductor substrate 10 may include a semiconductor layer (for example, a silicon layer, a silicon-germanium layer, or a germanium layer) disposed on an insulating layer for protecting a plurality of transistors on the semiconductor substrate.

上述犧牲層200作為相對於層間絕緣膜具有蝕刻選擇性的物質,較佳地,與層間絕緣膜相比,在利用化學溶液的濕式蝕刻步驟中具有高蝕刻選擇比。例如,層間絕緣膜可以是矽氧化膜或矽氮化膜,犧牲層200可選自矽氧化膜、矽氮化膜、碳化矽、矽、矽鍺,可以是相對於層間絕緣膜具有蝕刻選擇比的物質。例如,上述層間絕緣膜可使用金屬氮化物,上述犧牲層200可使用矽氧化物。這種層間絕緣膜及犧牲層200可利用熱化學氣相沉積(Thermal CVD)、電漿增強化學氣相沉積(Plasma enhanced CVD)或原子層沉積(Atomic Layer Deposition;ALD)技術來形成。 The sacrificial layer 200 is a substance having an etching selectivity with respect to the interlayer insulating film. Preferably, the sacrificial layer 200 has a higher etching selection ratio in a wet etching step using a chemical solution than the interlayer insulating film. For example, the interlayer insulating film may be a silicon oxide film or a silicon nitride film, and the sacrificial layer 200 may be selected from a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, silicon carbide, silicon, and silicon germanium, and may have an etching selection ratio with respect to the interlayer insulating film.

並且,為了說明的便捷性,在圖4中示出了用於4個控制柵極15的結構,但並不限定於此,還可適用於由8個、12個等構成的串結構。 In addition, for convenience of explanation, the structure for four control gates 15 is shown in FIG. 4, but it is not limited to this, and it can also be applied to a string structure including eight, twelve, and the like.

接著,如圖5所示,藉由對上述成型結構體進行蝕刻來形成大致呈圓筒形的間隙300。間隙300在成型結構體上形成遮罩圖案,將遮罩圖案用作蝕刻遮罩,來對成型結構體進行異向性蝕刻來形成。上述間隙300可根據三維快閃記憶體裝置的大容量化來使縱橫比增加,例如增加到50以上。 Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the molded structure is etched to form a gap 300 having a substantially cylindrical shape. The gap 300 forms a mask pattern on the molded structure, and uses the mask pattern as an etching mask to form the molded structure by anisotropic etching. The gap 300 can increase the aspect ratio according to the increase in the capacity of the three-dimensional flash memory device, for example, it can be increased to 50 or more.

接著,如圖3及圖6所示,在作為層間絕緣膜的控制柵極15及犧牲層200的內部形成柵極絕緣膜20。這種柵極絕緣膜20可包括可使來自通道的電荷浮動的電荷儲存膜,例如,在快閃記憶體為金屬氧化物氮化物半導體類或氮化矽半導體類的情況 下,電荷可由矽氮化膜(或者矽氧化氮化膜)浮動並維持。並且,上述柵極絕緣膜20可包括閉塞絕緣膜、電荷儲存膜及隧道絕緣膜。例如,閉塞絕緣膜、電荷儲存膜及隧道絕緣膜從控制柵極15及犧牲層200的內壁依次形成。 Next, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, a gate insulating film 20 is formed inside the control gate 15 and the sacrificial layer 200 as an interlayer insulating film. Such a gate insulating film 20 may include a charge storage film that can float the charge from the channel. For example, in the case where the flash memory is a metal oxide nitride semiconductor type or a silicon nitride semiconductor type, the charge may be made of silicon nitrogen. The film (or silicon nitride oxide film) floats and is maintained. In addition, the gate insulating film 20 may include a blocking insulating film, a charge storage film, and a tunnel insulating film. For example, the blocking insulating film, the charge storage film, and the tunnel insulating film are sequentially formed from the control gate 15 and the inner walls of the sacrificial layer 200.

接著,如圖7所示,在上述柵極絕緣膜20的內壁形成通道16。上述通道16能夠以可輕鬆實現子臨界特性的控制的Poly-Si形成。 Next, as shown in FIG. 7, a channel 16 is formed on the inner wall of the gate insulating film 20. The above-mentioned channel 16 can be formed of Poly-Si which can easily control the sub-critical characteristics.

接著,如圖8所示,以超臨界蒸鍍或高壓緻密化步驟向通道16的內部填充介電填料,在上述成型結構體形成溝道(未圖示),在溝道中去除露出的犧牲層200,藉助在用於控制柵極15的層間絕緣膜之間形成開口區域來使得複數個控制柵極15藉由通道16隔開配置,從而形成如圖1所示的結構。而對上述犧牲層200的去除方面,例如,犧牲層200為矽氮化膜,在層間絕緣膜為矽氧化膜的情況下,使用包含磷酸的蝕刻液來對犧牲層200進行均質性蝕刻,從而可形成開口領域。 Next, as shown in FIG. 8, a dielectric filler is filled into the inside of the channel 16 in a supercritical vapor deposition or high-pressure densification step, a channel (not shown) is formed in the molded structure, and the exposed sacrificial layer is removed in the channel. 200. By forming an opening region between the interlayer insulating films for the control gate 15, a plurality of control gates 15 are arranged by the channel 16 to be spaced apart, thereby forming a structure as shown in FIG. In terms of removing the sacrificial layer 200, for example, the sacrificial layer 200 is a silicon nitride film, and when the interlayer insulating film is a silicon oxide film, an etching solution containing phosphoric acid is used to uniformly etch the sacrificial layer 200, thereby Open areas can be formed.

接著,對在防止產生空隙或接縫的同時並向通道16填充作為介電填料的絕緣體21的過程進行說明。 Next, the process of filling the via 16 with the insulator 21 as a dielectric filler while preventing the generation of voids or joints will be described.

在上述通道16設置具有50以上的縱橫比的孔。 A hole having an aspect ratio of 50 or more is provided in the channel 16.

在設置於半導體基板10上的最上部的控制柵極15的表面上利用聚矽氮烷溶液塗敷旋塗玻璃(SOG)絕緣膜。亦即,為了藉由向具有高縱橫比的孔填充介電填料來形成絕緣體21,例如,在空氣氛圍下,以1500rpm的速度旋塗聚矽氮烷溶液達到30秒鐘,由此進行填充。在上述說明中,以旋塗方式按1500rpm的速度執行30秒鐘的方式進行了說明,但並不限定於此,可根據縱橫比的值進行變更。上述聚矽氮烷為能夠以-(SixNyHz)-進行表示的物質,使用可溶解於二甲苯或二丁基醚(dibuthyl ether) 等的溶劑來具有規定重量比的溶液。並且,可在塗敷聚矽氮烷之前,利用間隙填充能力優秀的高密度等離子化學氣相沉積法(CVD)、電漿增強化學氣相沉積法(PECVD)、液相化學氣相沉積法(LPCVD)等來形成Al2O3緩衝層。 A spin-on-glass (SOG) insulating film is coated on the surface of the uppermost control gate 15 provided on the semiconductor substrate 10 with a polysilazane solution. That is, in order to form the insulator 21 by filling a dielectric filler with holes having a high aspect ratio, for example, the polysilazane solution is spin-coated at 1500 rpm for 30 seconds in an air atmosphere, thereby filling. In the above description, the spin coating method was described as being performed at a speed of 1500 rpm for 30 seconds, but it is not limited to this, and can be changed according to the value of the aspect ratio. The polysilazane is a substance that can be expressed as-(SixNyHz)-, and uses a solvent that can be dissolved in xylene or dibutyl ether (dibuthyl ether) to have a solution having a predetermined weight ratio. In addition, high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and liquid-phase chemical vapor deposition ( LPCVD) and the like to form an Al 2 O 3 buffer layer.

之後,為了去除絕緣體21的溶劑成分而在50℃至350℃的溫度範圍內實施預燒製。預燒製以相同的加熱或在加熱裝備的基座使基板從常溫按步驟升溫的方式,在50~350℃的範圍加熱規定時間(例如,30分鐘)。藉由這種過程,將去除大部分的溶劑成分。上述的溫度和時間可根據三維快閃記憶體裝置的形成條件來進行調節。 Thereafter, in order to remove the solvent component of the insulator 21, pre-firing is performed in a temperature range of 50 ° C to 350 ° C. In the pre-baking, the substrate is heated at the same temperature or stepwise from the normal temperature on the base of the heating equipment, and the substrate is heated in a range of 50 to 350 ° C. for a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes). Through this process, most of the solvent components will be removed. The above-mentioned temperature and time can be adjusted according to the formation conditions of the three-dimensional flash memory device.

之後,對上述絕緣體21進行熱處理。在本發明中,熱處理在低溫高壓狀態下以濕式熱處理來執行。 After that, the insulator 21 is heat-treated. In the present invention, the heat treatment is performed as a wet heat treatment in a low temperature and high pressure state.

亦即,在預燒製之後,在1~20氣壓條件及100~500℃的溫度條件下進行低壓濕式熱處理,例如,利用可與旋塗的聚矽氮烷充分產生反應的量(例如,20ml)的水來執行30分鐘的低壓濕式熱處理。 That is, after the pre-baking, a low-pressure wet heat treatment is performed under a pressure of 1 to 20 and a temperature of 100 to 500 ° C. For example, an amount sufficient to react with spin-coated polysilazane (for example, 20 ml) of water to perform a low-pressure wet heat treatment for 30 minutes.

在如上所述的熱處理過程中,經過旋塗的聚矽氮烷與H2O產生反應來生成SiO2絕緣體21。 In the heat treatment process as described above, the spin-coated polysilazane reacts with H 2 O to generate the SiO 2 insulator 21.

圖9中示出在進行如上所述的熱處理的結果將作為介電填料的絕緣體21填充於通道16內的狀態。 FIG. 9 shows a state in which the insulator 21 as a dielectric filler is filled in the channel 16 as a result of performing the heat treatment as described above.

圖9為示出在如同本發明的實施例的10氣壓條件下形成的絕緣體21的剖面的掃描式電子顯微鏡圖像,可看出,以在上部及下部均未產生空隙和接縫的方式均勻地填充絕緣體21。這是因為,藉由高壓熱處理,即使在通道16的深處也可充分使水和聚矽氮烷進行反應。 FIG. 9 is a scanning electron microscope image showing a cross section of the insulator 21 formed under the 10-pressure condition as in the example of the present invention, and it can be seen that the gaps and joints are not uniform in the upper and lower portions.地 fill the insulator 21. This is because, by the high-pressure heat treatment, water and polysilazane can be sufficiently reacted even in the deep part of the channel 16.

如上所述,根據本發明,藉由採用基於高壓超臨界的氧化 物組成比最佳化技術來以超臨界蒸鍍或高壓緻密化步驟形成縱橫比非常大的三維快閃記憶體裝置的介電質填充物,從而可使空隙及接縫最小化。 As described above, according to the present invention, the dielectric of a three-dimensional flash memory device having a very large aspect ratio is formed in a supercritical vapor deposition or high-pressure densification step by using a high-pressure supercritical-based oxide composition ratio optimization technique.
