Abstract

An insulation film (24) having a gentle surface inclination is formed by a high-density plasma CVD method or a normal-pressure CVD method after a ferroelectric capacitor (23) is formed. Then, an alumina film (25) is formed on the insulation film (24). Such a method can positively protect the ferroelectric capacitor (23) despite the low coverage of the alumina film (25).

半導体装置及びその製造方法 技術分野  Semiconductor device and method of manufacturing the same

本発明は、 外部からの水素及び水分の進入に^する耐性の向上を図った半導体 装置及びその製造方法に関する。 背景技術  The present invention relates to a semiconductor device with improved resistance to the entry of hydrogen and moisture from the outside and a method for manufacturing the same. Background art

近時、 強誘電体メモリ (F e R AM) における配線ルールは 0 . 3 5 mとな つており、 層間絶縁膜の形成に当たっては、 主にプラズマ C V D法が採用されて いる。  Recently, the wiring rule for ferroelectric memory (FeRAM) is 0.35 m, and the plasma CVD method is mainly used to form the interlayer insulating film.

また、 強誘電体メモリには、 強誘電体キャパシタへの水素拡散を防止するため に、 強誘電体キャパシタを直接覆うアルミナ膜が水素拡散防止膜として形成され ている。  Further, in the ferroelectric memory, an alumina film directly covering the ferroelectric capacitor is formed as a hydrogen diffusion preventing film in order to prevent hydrogen diffusion into the ferroelectric capacitor.

しかし、 強誘電体メモリに対しても、 近時、 微細化の要請が高まっており、 微 細化に伴って、 強誘電体キャパシタ及ぴ配線のスペックが厳しくなつている。 一 方で、 アルミナ膜のカバレッジは比較的低い。 これらのために、 従来の構造では 、 強誘電体キャパシタの保護が十分とはいえず、 強誘電体キャパシタの劣化が問 題となっている。  However, there has recently been an increasing demand for miniaturization of ferroelectric memories, and with miniaturization, the specifications of ferroelectric capacitors and wiring have become strict. On the other hand, the coverage of alumina films is relatively low. For these reasons, with the conventional structure, the protection of the ferroelectric capacitor is not sufficient, and deterioration of the ferroelectric capacitor is a problem.

また、 層間絶縁膜に関しては、 多層配線構造が形成されたときに、 強誘電体キ ャパシタ及ぴ配線等の間で、 層間絶縁膜に空隙が形成されることがある。 このた め、 高い信頼性が得にくくなつている。  As for the interlayer insulating film, when a multilayer wiring structure is formed, voids may be formed in the interlayer insulating film between the ferroelectric capacitor and the wiring. This makes it difficult to obtain high reliability.

更に、 高い耐湿性は、 強誘電体メモリに限らず、 ほとんどの半導体装置で要求 される性質である。  Furthermore, high moisture resistance is a property required for most semiconductor devices, not only for ferroelectric memories.

このため、 多層配線構造において、 2つの配線層の間に S i N膜が設けられた ものも提案されている。 しかしながら、 このような構造でも耐湿性は十分ではな い。  For this reason, a multilayer wiring structure in which a SiN film is provided between two wiring layers has been proposed. However, such a structure does not have sufficient moisture resistance.

本発明の目的は、 強誘電体キャパシタ等の半導体素子の劣化を抑制することが できる半導体装置及びその製造方法を提供することにある。  An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device capable of suppressing deterioration of a semiconductor element such as a ferroelectric capacitor and a method for manufacturing the same.

本願発明に係る第 1の半導体装置には、 半導体基板と、 前記半導体基板の上方 に形成された強誘電体キャパシタと、 前記強誘電体キャパシタを直接覆い、 その 表面の傾斜が前記強誘電体キャパシタの表面の傾斜よりも緩やかな絶縁膜と、 が 設けられている。 そして、 前記絶縁膜上に前記強誘電体キャパシタへの水素の拡 散を防止する水素拡散防止膜が形成されている。  In a first semiconductor device according to the present invention, a semiconductor substrate, a ferroelectric capacitor formed above the semiconductor substrate, and directly covering the ferroelectric capacitor, and a slope of a surface thereof is the ferroelectric capacitor And an insulating film that is gentler than the slope of the surface. Then, a hydrogen diffusion preventing film for preventing diffusion of hydrogen into the ferroelectric capacitor is formed on the insulating film.

本願発明に係る第 2の半導体装置には、 半導体基板と、 前記半導体基板上に形 成された半導体素子と、 前記半導体基板の上方に形成され、 前記半導体素子に接 続されたパッ ドと、 前記半導体素子と前記パッドとの間に形成された 1又は 2以 上の配線層とが設けられている。 そして、 前記 1又は 2以上の配線層のうちで最 も上方に位置する最上配線層と前記パッドとの間に、 その下層側への水分の進入 を防止する水分進入防止膜が形成されている。  A second semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor element formed on the semiconductor substrate, and a pad formed above the semiconductor substrate and connected to the semiconductor element. One or more wiring layers formed between the semiconductor element and the pad are provided. A moisture intrusion prevention film is formed between the pad and the uppermost one of the one or two or more wiring layers to prevent moisture from entering the lower layer. .

本願発明に係る第 1の半導体装置の製造方法では、 半導体基板の上方に強誘電 体キャパシタを形成した後、 前記強誘電体キャパシタを直接覆い、 その表面の傾 斜が前記強誘電体キャパシタの表面の傾斜よりも緩やかな絶縁膜を形成する。 そ して、 前記絶縁膜上に、 前記強誘電体キャパシタへの水素の拡散を防止する水素 拡散防止膜を形成する。  In the first method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention, after forming a ferroelectric capacitor above a semiconductor substrate, the ferroelectric capacitor is directly covered, and the slope of the surface is changed to the surface of the ferroelectric capacitor.

(第 1の実施形態) 次に、 本発明の第 1の実施形態について説明する。 但し、 ここでは、 便宜上、 各メモリセルの構造については、 その製造方法と共に説明する。 図 2 A乃至図 2 Gは、 本発明の第 1の実施形態に係る強誘電体メモリ (半導体装置) の製造方法 を工程順に示す断面図である。 なお、 図 2 A乃至図 2 Gには、 1本のビット線 ( 図 1中のビット線 3に相当) を共有する 2個の MO S トランジスタに相当する部 分を図示する。 (First Embodiment) Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. However, here, for convenience, the structure of each memory cell will be described together with its manufacturing method. 2A to 2G are cross-sectional views illustrating a method for manufacturing a ferroelectric memory (semiconductor device) according to the first embodiment of the present invention in the order of steps. 2A to 2G show a portion corresponding to two MOS transistors sharing one bit line (corresponding to bit line 3 in FIG. 1).

第 1の実施形態では、 先ず、 図 2 Aに示すように、 シリコン基板等の半導体基 板 1 1の表面にゥヱル 1 2を形成する。 次いで、 半導体基板 1 1の表面に、 例え ば ST I (Shallow Trench Isolation) により素子分離領域 1 3を形成する。 続 いて、 ゲート絶縁膜 14、 ゲート電極 1 5、 キャップ膜 1 6、 サイ ドウオール 1 7、 ソース · ドレイン拡散層 1 8及ぴシリサイ ド層 1 9をゥエル 1 2の表面に形 成することにより、 スィツチング素子として MOS トランジスタ 20を形成する 。 この MO S トランジスタ 20力 図 1における MO S トランジスタ 2に相当す る。 なお、 各 MO S トランジスタ 20には、 ソース及びドレイン用に 2個のソー ス · ドレイン拡散層 1 8を形成するが、 その一方は、 2個の MO S トランジスタ 20間で共有させる。  In the first embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 2A, a cell 12 is formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate 11 such as a silicon substrate. Next, an element isolation region 13 is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 11 by, for example, STI (Shallow Trench Isolation). Subsequently, the gate insulating film 14, the gate electrode 15, the cap film 16, the side wall 17, the source / drain diffusion layer 18 and the silicide layer 19 are formed on the surface of the well 12. A MOS transistor 20 is formed as a switching element. This 20 MOS transistor corresponds to the MOS transistor 2 in FIG. Note that two source / drain diffusion layers 18 are formed for each of the MOS transistors 20 for source and drain, and one of them is shared between the two MOS transistors 20.

次に、 全面にシリコン酸窒化膜 2 1を、 MO S トランジスタ 20を覆うように して形成し、 更に全面に層間絶縁膜として S i 02膜 22を形成し、 CMP (ィ匕 学機械的研磨: Chemical Mechanical Polishing) 等により S i 02膜 22を平 坦化する。 シリ コン酸窒化膜 2 1は、 S i 02膜 22を形成する際のゲート絶縁 膜 14等の水分劣化を防止するために形成されている。 Next, a silicon oxynitride film 21 is formed on the entire surface so as to cover the MOS transistor 20, and an SiO 2 film 22 is formed on the entire surface as an interlayer insulating film. Polishing: The SiO 2 film 22 is flattened by chemical mechanical polishing or the like. The silicon oxynitride film 21 is formed to prevent moisture deterioration of the gate insulating film 14 and the like when the SiO 2 film 22 is formed.

その後、 図 2 Bに示すように、 3 102膜22上に、 プレーナ構造の強誘電体 キャパシタ 23を形成する。 強誘電体キャパシタ 23は、 順次積層された下部電 極 23 a、 強誘電体膜 2 3 b及ぴ上部電極 23 cから構成する。 この強誘電体キ ャパシタ 23が、 図 1における強誘電体キャパシタ 1に相当する。 Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2B, a ferroelectric capacitor 23 having a planar structure is formed on the 310 2 film 22. The ferroelectric capacitor 23 includes a lower electrode 23a, a ferroelectric film 23b and an upper electrode 23c which are sequentially stacked. This ferroelectric capacitor 23 corresponds to the ferroelectric capacitor 1 in FIG.

続いて、 図 2 Cに示すように、 その表面の傾斜が強誘電体キャパシタ 23の表 面の傾斜よりも緩やかな絶縁膜 24を形成する。 絶縁膜 24としては、 例えば T EOS (テトラエチル . オルソシリケート : Tetra-Ethyl Ortho-Silicate) 及び 03を用いて、 常圧 CVD法により、 不純物が添加されていない S i 02膜 (N S G (Non-doped Silicate Glass) 膜)、 Pが添加された S i 02膜 (P S G ( Phospho- Silicate Glass) 膜)、 B及ぴ Pが添加された S 02膜 (B P S G ( Boron Phospho-Silicate Glass) 膜)、 Fが添加された S i O 2B (F S G ( Fluoro- Silicate Glass) 膜) 等を形成してもよい。 また、 絶縁膜 2 4として、 例えば高密度プラズマ (HD P : High Density Plasma) CVD法により、 N S G膜、 P S G膜、 B P S G膜、 F S G膜、 S i O N等を形成してもよい。 更に、 絶縁膜 2 4として、 プラズマ CVD法により、 S i 02膜、 S i ON膜等を形成 してもよい。 Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2C, an insulating film 24 having a surface whose inclination is gentler than that of the surface of the ferroelectric capacitor 23 is formed. As the insulating film 24, for example, by using T EOS (Tetra-Ethyl Ortho-Silicate) and O 3 , an SiO 2 film (N SG (Non-doped Silicate Glass) film), S P is added i 0 2 film (PSG (Phospho- Silicate Glass) film), S 0 2 film B及Pi P is added (BPSG (Boron Phospho- Silicate Glass (Film)), Fio-added SiO 2 B (FSG (Fluoro-Silicate Glass) Film), etc. may be formed. Further, as the insulating film 24, for example, an NSG film, a PSG film, a BPSG film, a FSG film, a SiON, or the like may be formed by a high-density plasma (HDP: High Density Plasma) CVD method. Further, as the insulating film 2 4, by a plasma CVD method, S i 0 2 film may be formed S i ON film.

但し、 常圧 C VD法又はプラズマ C VD法により絶縁膜 2 4を形成した場合に は、 その後に、 N2又は N20のプラズマを用いたプラズマ処理を絶縁膜 2 4に 施すことにより、 絶縁膜 24中の水分を減少させると共に、 絶縁膜 2 4の膜質を 改善することが好ましい。 また、 このときの処理温度は、 2 0 0で乃至4 5 0°〇 とすることが好ましい。 However, in the case of forming the insulating film 2 4 by atmospheric C VD method or a plasma C VD method, followed by applying plasma treatment using a plasma of N 2 or N 2 0 in the insulating film 2 4, It is preferable to reduce the moisture in the insulating film 24 and to improve the film quality of the insulating film 24. The processing temperature at this time is preferably 200 to 450 ° C.

また、 常圧 C VD法により絶縁膜 24を形成する場合には、 その前にプラズマ CVD法により S i 02膜又は S i ON膜を 3 0 OA乃至 1 0 0 0 A程度形成し ておくことが好ましい。 これは、 カバレッジの向上及び水分の強誘電体キャパシ タ 2 3への進入を防止するためである。 When the insulating film 24 is formed by the normal pressure CVD method, an SiO 2 film or a SiO ON film is formed by plasma CVD at a thickness of about 30 OA to 100 A before the formation. Is preferred. This is to improve the coverage and prevent water from entering the ferroelectric capacitor 23.

更に、 成膜時の半導体基板 1 1の温度は、 1 7 5°C乃至 3 5 0°Cとすることが 好ましい。 これは、 温度が 1 7 5°C未満であると、 カバレッジが低下し、 また、 温度が 3 5 0°Cを超えると、 既に形成されている強誘電体キャパシタ 2 3が破壊 される虞があるからである。  Further, the temperature of the semiconductor substrate 11 at the time of film formation is preferably in the range of 175 ° C to 350 ° C. This is because if the temperature is lower than 175 ° C, the coverage is reduced, and if the temperature is higher than 350 ° C, the already formed ferroelectric capacitor 23 may be broken. Because there is.

次に、 図 2 Dに示すように、 絶縁膜 24上にアルミナ膜 (アルミニウム酸化膜 ) 2 5を水素拡散防止膜として形成する。 強誘電体キャパシタ 2 3の側面等には 急峻な部分が存在するため、 強誘電体キャパシタ 2 3を直接覆うようにアルミナ 膜を形成すると、 カバレッジが不足することがあるが、 本実施形態では、 絶縁膜 24が形成されており、 その表面の傾斜が緩やかであるため、 アルミナ膜 2 5の カバレッジの低さは問題とならない。  Next, as shown in FIG. 2D, an alumina film (aluminum oxide film) 25 is formed on the insulating film 24 as a hydrogen diffusion preventing film. Since there is a steep portion on the side surface of the ferroelectric capacitor 23, if the alumina film is formed so as to directly cover the ferroelectric capacitor 23, the coverage may be insufficient. Since the insulating film 24 is formed and the surface thereof has a gentle slope, the low coverage of the alumina film 25 does not matter.

次いで、 図 2 Eに示すように、 S i酸化膜 2 6を層間絶縁膜として全面に形成 し、 S i酸化膜 2 6の平坦化を CMP等により行う。 その後、 図 2 Fに示すように、 パターニング及びエッチング技術を用いて、 S i酸化膜 2 6、 アルミナ膜 2 5、 絶縁膜 2 4、 S i 0 2膜 2 2及びシリコン酸窒 化膜 2 1に、 各シリサイ ド層 1 9まで到達するコンタク トホールを形成すること により、 プラグコンタク ト部を開口する。 そして、 各コンタク トホール内にバリ ァメタル膜 (図示せず) を形成し、 その内部に、 例えば C V D法により W膜を埋 め込み、 C M Pを行って W膜を平坦化することにより、 Wプラグ 2 7及び 2 8を 形成する。 Wプラグ 2 8は、 2個の M O S トランジスタ 2 0により共有されてい るシリサイ ド層 1 9に接続された Wプラグであり、 Wプラグ 2 7は、 残りのシリ サイ ド層 1 9に接続された Wプラグである。 Next, as shown in FIG. 2E, an Si oxide film 26 is formed on the entire surface as an interlayer insulating film, and the Si oxide film 26 is planarized by CMP or the like. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2 F, a patterning and etching techniques, S i oxide film 2 6, the alumina film 2 5, the insulating film 2 4, S i 0 2 film 2 2 and the silicon San窒monolayer 2 1 Then, a contact hole reaching each silicide layer 19 is formed to open a plug contact portion. Then, a barrier metal film (not shown) is formed in each contact hole, and a W film is buried therein by, for example, a CVD method, and the W film is planarized by CMP to form a W plug 2. Form 7 and 28. The W plug 28 is a W plug connected to the silicide layer 19 shared by the two MOS transistors 20, and the W plug 27 is connected to the remaining silicide layer 19 W plug.

次に、 図 2 Gに示すように、 パターニング及びエッチング技術を用いて、 S i 酸化膜 2 6、 アルミナ膜 2 5及び絶縁膜 2 4に、 上部電極 2 3 cまで到達するコ ンタク トホールを形成する。 そして、 S i酸化膜 2 6上に、 上部電極 2 3 cと W プラグ 2 7とをコンタク トホールを介して接続する配線 2 9、 及ぴ Wプラグ 2 8 に接続される配線 3 0を形成する。  Next, as shown in FIG. 2G, a contact hole reaching the upper electrode 23c is formed in the Si oxide film 26, the alumina film 25, and the insulating film 24 by using patterning and etching techniques. I do. Then, a wiring 29 connecting the upper electrode 23 c and the W plug 27 via a contact hole and a wiring 30 connecting to the W plug 28 are formed on the Si oxide film 26. .

なお、 配線 2 9及び 3 0の形成前に、 酸素雰囲気、 窒素雰囲気又はこれらの混 合ガスの雰囲気中で、 4 0 0 °C乃至 6 0 0 °Cのァニールを強誘電体キャパシタ 2 3に施しておくことが好ましい。 このようなァニールを行うことにより、 それま での工程で生じた強誘電体キャパシタ 2 3の特性の劣化が回復する。  Prior to forming the wirings 29 and 30, annealing at 400 ° C. to 600 ° C. was applied to the ferroelectric capacitor 23 in an oxygen atmosphere, a nitrogen atmosphere, or an atmosphere of a mixed gas thereof. It is preferable to apply it. By performing such annealing, the deterioration of the characteristics of the ferroelectric capacitor 23 caused in the steps before the recovery is recovered.

その後、 更に、 層間絶縁膜の形成、 コンタク トプラグの形成及び下から第 2層 目以降の配線の形成等を行う。 そして、 例えばシリ コン酸化膜及び S i 3 N 4膜 からなるパッシベーシヨン膜を形成して強誘電体キャパシタを有する強誘電体メ モリを完成させる。 なお、 上層配線の形成に際しては、 下部電極 2 3 aに接続さ れた配線 (図示せず) がプレート線 (図 1におけるプレート線 5に相当する。) に接続されるようにし、 配線 2 9がビット線 (図 1におけるビット線 3に相当す る。) に接続されるようにする。 ゲート電極 1 5については、 それ自体をワード 線としてもよく、 また、 上層配線において、 ゲート電極 1 5がワード線に接続さ れるようにしてもよい。 Thereafter, formation of an interlayer insulating film, formation of contact plugs, formation of wiring of the second and subsequent layers from the bottom, and the like are further performed. Then, a passivation film composed of, for example, a silicon oxide film and a Si 3 N 4 film is formed to complete a ferroelectric memory having a ferroelectric capacitor. When forming the upper layer wiring, the wiring (not shown) connected to the lower electrode 23a is connected to the plate line (corresponding to the plate line 5 in FIG. 1). Is connected to the bit line (corresponding to bit line 3 in FIG. 1). The gate electrode 15 itself may be a word line, or the gate electrode 15 may be connected to a word line in an upper layer wiring.

このような第 1の実施形態によれば、 アルミナ膜 2 5のカバレッジは問題とな らないので、 強誘電体キャパシタ 2 3への水素の進入をより確実に防止すること ができる。 即ち、 強誘電体キャパシタ 2 3をより確実に保護することが可能とな る。 ' According to the first embodiment, since coverage of the alumina film 25 does not matter, it is possible to more reliably prevent hydrogen from entering the ferroelectric capacitor 23. Can be. That is, the ferroelectric capacitor 23 can be protected more reliably. '

特に、 絶縁膜 2 4として、 高密度プラズマ C V D法によりシリコン酸窒化膜を 形成した場合には、 この絶縁膜 2 4が水分進入防止膜としても機能するため、 強 誘電体キャパシタ 2 3の保護がより強固になる。  In particular, when a silicon oxynitride film is formed as the insulating film 24 by a high-density plasma CVD method, the insulating film 24 also functions as a moisture intrusion preventing film, so that the ferroelectric capacitor 23 is protected. Be more robust.

なお、 水素拡散防止膜の厚さは、 1 0 n m乃至 1 0 0 n mであることが'好まし い。 これは、 厚さが 1 0 η ιη未満であると、 十分に水素の拡散を防止することが できないことがあり、 また、 厚さが 1 0 0 n mを超えると、 水素拡散防止膜のェ ツチングが困難となるからである。  It is preferable that the thickness of the hydrogen diffusion preventing film is 10 nm to 100 nm. If the thickness is less than 100 ηιη, diffusion of hydrogen may not be sufficiently prevented, and if the thickness exceeds 100 nm, the etching of the hydrogen diffusion preventing film may occur. Is difficult.

また、 水素拡散防止膜としては、 アルミナ膜の他に、 A 1酸窒化膜、 T a酸化 膜、 T i酸化膜等を形成してもよい。  As the hydrogen diffusion preventing film, an A1 oxynitride film, a Ta oxide film, a Ti oxide film, or the like may be formed in addition to the alumina film.

Then, by performing plasma treatment had use of N 2 0 relative to S i 0 2 film 4 9, reduces the water present in the S I_〇 2 film 49. Then, a contact hole reaching the AI wiring 45 is formed, and a W plug 50 is buried in the contact hole. The thickness of the alumina film 48 is, for example, about 50 nm.

但し、 3 102膜46を^[0? (高密度プラズマ) CVD法により形成し、 S 102膜46中にボィ ド (す) が発生していない場合には、 CMPによる平坦化 の後に、 必要に応じて N20プラズマ処理を行い、 S i 02膜 47を形成するこ となく S i 02膜 46上に直接アルミナ膜 48を形成してもよい。 However, the 3 10 2 film 46 ^ [0? Formed by (high density plasma) CVD method, when the board I de in S 10 2 film 46 (to) has not occurred, after planarization by CMP, the N 2 0 plasma treatment as required Alternatively, the alumina film 48 may be formed directly on the SiO 2 film 46 without forming the SiO 2 film 47.

次いで、 図 3Dに示すように、 S i 02膜 49上に A 1配線 5 1を形成する。 このとき、 図 3 Eに示すように、 A 1配線 5 1 と同じ層にワイヤボンディング用 のパッ ド 5 4も形成する。 即ち、 S i 0 2膜 4 9上に A 1膜を形成し、 これをパ ターニングすることにより、 A 1配線 5 1及びパッド 5 4を同じ A 1膜から形成 する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 3D, an A1 wiring 51 is formed on the SiO 2 film 49. At this time, as shown in Fig. 3E, wire bonding is performed on the same layer as A1 wiring 51. A pad 54 is also formed. That is, to form a A 1 film on a S i 0 2 film 4 9, which by patterning, to form the A 1 line 5 1 and the pad 5 4 from the same A 1 film.

その後、 図 3 D及ぴ図 3 Eに示すように、 全面にパッシベーシヨン膜として、 高密度プラズマ S i 0 2膜 5 2及ぴ S i 3 N 4膜 5 3を順次形成する。 そして、 パ ッド 5 4の一部を露出する開口部を高密度プラズマ S i 0 2膜 5 2及ぴ S i 3 N 4 膜 5 3に形成する。 Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 3D and 3E, a high-density plasma SiO 2 film 52 and a Si 3 N 4 film 53 are sequentially formed as a passivation film on the entire surface. Then, an opening exposing a part of the pad 54 is formed in the high-density plasma SiO 2 film 52 and the Si 3 N 4 film 53.

このような第 2の実施形態によれば、 より確実に水分の半導体素子 (強誘電体 キャパシタ等) への進入を防止することができる。 即ち、 強誘電体キャパシタゃ 配線等を覆うようにして水分進入防止膜が形成されている場合には、 水分進入防 止膜上まで水分が進入してそこに水分が集中し、 その後、 半導体素子まで進入し てしまう虞があるが、 本実施形態のように、 パッド 5 4と最上層の配線層との間 に水分進入防止膜 (アルミナ膜 4 8 ) が形成されていれば、 水分は半導体素子ま でより到達しにく くなり、 進入をより確実に防止することができる。  According to the second embodiment, it is possible to more reliably prevent moisture from entering a semiconductor element (such as a ferroelectric capacitor). In other words, when a moisture intrusion prevention film is formed so as to cover the ferroelectric capacitor wiring and the like, moisture enters the moisture intrusion prevention film and concentrates there. However, if a moisture intrusion prevention film (alumina film 48) is formed between the pad 54 and the uppermost wiring layer as in the present embodiment, moisture will It becomes more difficult to reach the element, and entry can be prevented more reliably.

また、 第 2の実施形態で水分進入防止膜として用いているアルミナ膜 4 8は、 水素の拡散を防止する作用をも奏する。 このため、 強誘電体キャパシタの水素劣 化をより抑制することも可能である。 従って、 水分進入防止膜としては、 水分の 進入を防止することができるだけでなく、 水素の拡散をも防止できるものを用い ることが好ましい。  Further, the alumina film 48 used as the moisture intrusion prevention film in the second embodiment also has an effect of preventing diffusion of hydrogen. For this reason, it is possible to further suppress the hydrogen deterioration of the ferroelectric capacitor. Therefore, it is preferable to use, as the moisture intrusion prevention film, a film that not only prevents the ingress of moisture but also prevents the diffusion of hydrogen.

ここで、 本願発明者が実際に行った耐湿試験の結果について説明する。 この耐 湿試験では、 所定の温度及ぴ湿度の条件下に製造された半導体装置を置き、 7 2 時間後、 1 6 8時間後、 3 3 6時間後に正常に動作するか否かを調査した。 この 結果を表 1〜表 3に示す。 実施例 1では、 第 2の実施形態と同様に、 最上配線層 (最も上方に位置する配線層) とパッドとの間に水分進入防止膜としてアルミナ 膜が形成されている。 一方、 実施例 2では、 実施例 1のようなアルミナ膜は形成 されていない。 表 1〜表 3中の 「不可の数」 の分母は、 測定に用いた試料の総数 であり、 分子は正常に動作せずフェイルと判断されたものの総数である。 表 1〜 表 3に示すように、 第 2の実施形態に係る実施例 1では、 長期間の耐湿性が極め て優れていた。 なお、 最上層の配線層を覆うようにして、 高密度プラズマ CVD法により絶縁 膜を形成した後に、 その上に水分進入防止膜を形成してもよい。 Here, the results of the moisture resistance test actually performed by the present inventors will be described. In this moisture resistance test, semiconductor devices manufactured under the conditions of the prescribed temperature and humidity were placed, and after 72 hours, 168 hours, and 336 hours, it was investigated whether or not they operated normally. . Tables 1 to 3 show the results. In Example 1, similarly to the second embodiment, an alumina film is formed between the uppermost wiring layer (the uppermost wiring layer) and the pad as a moisture intrusion prevention film. On the other hand, in Example 2, the alumina film as in Example 1 was not formed. The denominator of “impossible number” in Tables 1 to 3 is the total number of samples used for measurement, and the total number of numerators that did not work properly and were judged as failed. As shown in Tables 1 to 3, in Example 1 according to the second embodiment, the long-term moisture resistance was extremely excellent. After forming an insulating film by high-density plasma CVD so as to cover the uppermost wiring layer, a moisture intrusion prevention film may be formed thereon.

また、 水分進入防止膜の厚さは、 1 0 nm乃至 1 00 nmであることが好まし い。 これは、 厚さが 1 0 ηιη未満であると、 十分に水分の進入を防止することが できないことがあり、 また、 厚さが 1 00 nmを超えると、 水分進入防止膜のェ ツチングが困難となるからである。  The thickness of the moisture intrusion prevention film is preferably from 10 nm to 100 nm. If the thickness is less than 10 ηιη, it may not be possible to sufficiently prevent water from entering, and if the thickness exceeds 100 nm, it is difficult to etch the moisture intrusion prevention film. This is because

Preferably, a hydrogen diffusion preventing film is formed between them, and a Si 3 N 4 film is formed on the upper silicon oxide film. Incidentally, the T EO S oxide film may be used as the silicon oxide film under the S i 3 N 4 film.

更に、 配線材料も A 1に限定されない。 例えば Cu配線又は A 1一 Cu合金配 線を用いてもよい。 また、 コンタク トプラグの形成に当たっては、 Wプラグを埋 め込む前にコンタク トホール内に、 順次形成された T i N膜及ぴ T i膜からなる パリアメタル膜又は T i N膜のみからなるパリァメタル膜を形成しておくことが 好ましい。  Further, the wiring material is not limited to A1.

In forming the contact plug, before the W plug is buried, the contact hole is formed with a sequentially formed TIN film and a Pari metal film made of a T i film or a Pari metal film made of only a T I N film. It is preferable to form them.

また、 強誘電体キャパシタの容量絶縁膜 (強誘電体膜) としては、 例えば P Z T (P b (Z r , T i ) 03) 膜又は S B T (S r B i 2T a 209) 膜等を用い ることができる。 これらの膜を形成するための方法も特に限定されないが、 例え ば M O C V D法により形成することができる。 Further, as the ferroelectric capacitor of the capacitor insulating film (ferroelectric film), for example, PZT (P b (Z r, T i) 0 3) film or SBT (S r B i 2 T a 2 0 9) film Etc. can be used.
