Description

非揮發性記憶體的製造方法Non-volatile memory manufacturing method

本發明是有關於一種半導體元件的製造方法,且特別是有關於一種非揮發性記憶體的製造方法。The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a method of fabricating a non-volatile memory.

當半導體進入深次微米(Deep Sub-Micron)的製程時,元件的尺寸逐漸縮小,對於記憶體元件而言,也就是代表記憶胞尺寸愈來愈小。另一方面,隨著資訊電子產品(如電腦、行動電話、數位相機或個人數位助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA))需要處理、儲存的資料日益增加,在這些資訊電子產品中所需的記憶體容量也就愈來愈大。對於這種尺寸變小而記憶體容量卻需要增加的情形,如何製造尺寸縮小、高積集度,又能兼顧其品質的記憶體元件是產業的一致目標。As the semiconductor enters the Deep Sub-Micron process, the size of the component is gradually reduced, and for the memory component, it means that the memory cell size is getting smaller and smaller. On the other hand, as information electronics (such as computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, or personal digital assistants (PDAs)) need to process and store more and more data, the memory required in these information electronics The capacity is getting bigger and bigger. In the case where the size is small and the memory capacity needs to be increased, how to manufacture a memory element having a reduced size, a high degree of integration, and a quality can be a consistent goal of the industry.

非揮發性記憶體由於具有使存入之資料在斷電後也不會消失之優點,所以已成為個人電腦和電子設備所廣泛採用的一種記憶體元件。Non-volatile memory has become a memory component widely used in personal computers and electronic devices because it has the advantage that the stored data does not disappear after power-off.

典型的非揮發性記憶胞係以摻雜的多晶矽(Polysilicon)製作浮置閘極(Floating Gate)與控制閘極(Control Gate)而構成堆疊結構。浮置閘極與基底、浮置閘極與控制閘極之間則分別設置有一層介電層。A typical non-volatile memory cell system uses a doped polysilicon to form a floating gate and a control gate to form a stacked structure. A dielectric layer is disposed between the floating gate and the substrate, the floating gate and the control gate.

然而,上述非揮發性記憶胞需要形成多層多晶矽層與多層介電層。在製作過程中,會經過多道光罩步驟,拉長 製作流程,且耗費較多的製造成本。However, the above non-volatile memory cells are required to form a multilayer polycrystalline germanium layer and a multilayer dielectric layer. In the production process, it will go through multiple mask steps and lengthen Production process and costly manufacturing costs.

習知的一種由兩個電晶體串接而成的NOR型的非揮發性記憶胞,包括選擇電晶體與浮置閘極電晶體。由於此種記憶胞無須形成多層多晶矽層,因此此種非揮發性記憶胞的製程可以與互補式金氧半導體電晶體的製程整合在一起。A conventional NOR-type non-volatile memory cell in which two transistors are connected in series includes a selective transistor and a floating gate transistor. Since the memory cell does not need to form a multi-layer polysilicon layer, the process of the non-volatile memory cell can be integrated with the process of the complementary MOS transistor.

一般而言,非揮發性記憶體是由位於記憶胞區之多數個記憶胞以及位於周邊電路區中的多數個邏輯元件(例如輸入/輸出電晶體、核心電晶體等)所構成。上述的選擇電晶體與周邊電路區的輸入/輸出電晶體是在相同的製程中製作出來的。輸入/輸出電晶體的閘介電層的厚度通常較厚,以承受較高的操作電壓。然而,在積體電路集積度提高,而使元件尺寸縮小的情況下,記憶胞的尺寸也越小。若是選擇電晶體的閘介電層的厚度與週邊電路區的輸入/輸出電晶體的閘介電層的厚度相同。在操作記憶體時,就需要於選擇電晶體的閘極施加較大的電壓,而使得非揮發性記憶體元件的驅動能力降低。因此,如何使得非揮發性記憶體元件具有更高的驅動能力,將成為一個重要的課題。In general, a non-volatile memory is composed of a plurality of memory cells located in a memory cell region and a plurality of logic elements (eg, input/output transistors, core transistors, etc.) located in peripheral circuit regions. The above-mentioned selective transistor and the input/output transistor of the peripheral circuit region are fabricated in the same process. The gate dielectric layer of the input/output transistor is typically thicker to withstand higher operating voltages. However, in the case where the integrated circuit is increased in size and the size of the element is reduced, the size of the memory cell is also smaller. If the thickness of the gate dielectric layer of the selected transistor is the same as the thickness of the gate dielectric layer of the input/output transistor of the peripheral circuit region. When the memory is operated, it is necessary to apply a large voltage to the gate of the selection transistor, so that the driving ability of the non-volatile memory element is lowered. Therefore, how to make non-volatile memory components have higher driving capability will become an important issue.

有鑑於此,本發明提出一種非揮發性記憶體的製造方法,可有效地提高非揮發性記憶體元件的驅動能力。In view of this, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a non-volatile memory, which can effectively improve the driving capability of a non-volatile memory element.

The material of the tunneling dielectric layer 112 includes cerium oxide, and the forming method includes a thermal oxidation method or a chemical vapor deposition method. The thickness of the tunneling dielectric layer 112 is approximately 20 Å to 130 Å. Forming the tunneling dielectric layer 112 in the memory cell region 108, for example, forming a dielectric layer (not shown) on the substrate 100, and then removing the first peripheral circuit region 104 and the second peripheral circuit by using a photolithography technique.

A patterned mask layer 115 is formed on the substrate 100. The material of the patterned mask layer 115 is, for example, a photoresist material. The patterned mask layer 115 exposes the first gate dielectric layer 114 in the selected transistor region 110. The method of forming the patterned mask layer 115 is, for example, a lithography technique. With the patterned mask layer 115 as a mask, a portion of the first gate dielectric layer 114 in the selected transistor region 110 is removed to form a second gate dielectric layer 116. The above removal process includes an etching process such as a dry etching process or a wet etching process. The wet etching process uses, for example, hydrofluoric acid as an etchant. In the above removal process, a feedback system (not shown) is employed to control the second thickness T 2 of the second gate dielectric layer 116. Wherein, the feedback system includes a monitoring pattern and a short-cycle measuring wafer, that is, after performing an etching, confirming whether the thickness of the second gate dielectric layer 116 reaches a desired thickness, and continuing etching if the desired thickness is not achieved. The process is continued until the desired thickness is reached. The second thickness T 2 is less than the first thickness T 1 and the second thickness T 2 is approximately 50 Å to 90 Å. Because the second gate dielectric layer 116 is a film layer obtained by removing a portion of the thickness of the first gate dielectric layer, the material of the second gate dielectric layer 116 is substantially the same as the material of the first gate dielectric layer 114. .

請參照圖1C,移除圖案化罩幕層115。圖案化罩幕層115的移除方法例如先以灰化製程移除大部分光阻後,再進行洗淨製程移除殘餘的光阻。於基底100上形成圖案化罩幕層117。圖案化罩幕層117暴露第二周邊電路區106中之第一閘介電層114。以圖案化罩幕層117為罩幕,移除第二周邊電路區106中所有第一閘介電層114,以暴露第二周邊電路區106中之基底100。上述之移除步驟包括進行蝕刻製程,例如乾式蝕刻製程或濕式蝕刻製程。濕式 蝕刻製程例如以氫氟酸作為蝕刻劑。Referring to FIG. 1C, the patterned mask layer 115 is removed. The method of removing the patterned mask layer 115, for example, removes most of the photoresist after the ashing process, and then performs a cleaning process to remove residual photoresist. A patterned mask layer 117 is formed on the substrate 100. The patterned mask layer 117 exposes the first gate dielectric layer 114 in the second perimeter circuit region 106. With the patterned mask layer 117 as a mask, all of the first gate dielectric layers 114 in the second peripheral circuit region 106 are removed to expose the substrate 100 in the second peripheral circuit region 106. The removal step described above includes performing an etching process such as a dry etching process or a wet etching process. Wet The etching process uses, for example, hydrofluoric acid as an etchant.

請參照圖1D,移除圖案化罩幕層117。圖案化罩幕層117的移除方法例如先以灰化製程移除大部分光阻後,再進行洗淨製程移除殘餘的光阻。於第二周邊電路區106中之基底100上的形成第三閘介電層118。第三閘介電層118的材料例如為氧化矽,其形成方法包括在爐管中進行熱氧化製程。第三閘介電層118具有第三厚度T3 ,且第三厚度T3 小於第二厚度T2 。在本實施例中,第三厚度T3 約為15 Å~40 Å。在本實施例中,利用複合式金氧半導體元件(CMOS)製程中的核心電晶體的閘介電層的製程來製作出第三閘介電層118。Referring to FIG. 1D, the patterned mask layer 117 is removed. The method of removing the patterned mask layer 117, for example, first removes most of the photoresist by an ashing process, and then performs a cleaning process to remove residual photoresist. A third gate dielectric layer 118 is formed on the substrate 100 in the second peripheral circuit region 106. The material of the third gate dielectric layer 118 is, for example, hafnium oxide, and the method of forming the same includes performing a thermal oxidation process in the furnace tube. The third gate dielectric layer 118 has a third thickness T 3 and the third thickness T 3 is less than the second thickness T 2 . In this embodiment, the third thickness T 3 is about 15 Å to 40 Å. In the present embodiment, the third gate dielectric layer 118 is formed by a process of a gate dielectric layer of a core transistor in a composite MOS device (CMOS) process.

值得注意的是,在本發明中,於第二周邊電路區106中之第一閘介電層114完全移除之後,再於第二周邊電路區106中之基底100上形成第三閘介電層118。因此,第三閘介電層118及第一閘介電層114兩者屬於不同製程所形成之不同膜層。此種製程方法,可避免所形第三閘介電層118受到前述製程的影響,並可使第三閘介電層118具有更好的品質。接著,於整個基底100上形成一層導體層120,導體層120之材料例如是摻雜多晶矽,此導體層120之形成方法例如是利用化學氣相沈積法形成一層未摻雜多晶矽層後,進行離子植入步驟以形成之;或者採用臨場植入摻質的方式利用化學氣相沈積法而形成之。It should be noted that, in the present invention, after the first gate dielectric layer 114 in the second peripheral circuit region 106 is completely removed, a third gate dielectric is formed on the substrate 100 in the second peripheral circuit region 106. Layer 118. Therefore, the third gate dielectric layer 118 and the first gate dielectric layer 114 belong to different film layers formed by different processes. The process method can prevent the formed third gate dielectric layer 118 from being affected by the foregoing process, and can make the third gate dielectric layer 118 have better quality. Next, a conductor layer 120 is formed on the entire substrate 100. The material of the conductor layer 120 is, for example, doped polysilicon. The conductor layer 120 is formed by, for example, forming an undoped polysilicon layer by chemical vapor deposition. The implantation step is formed to form; or formed by chemical vapor deposition using a field implant dopant.
