- the stop layer 20 is formed on the surface of the substrate 10, and the stepped structure 60 is formed on the surface of the stop layer 20.
- the structure 60 is formed by laminating a pair layer 50 in which the wiring layer 40 is formed on the insulating layer 30 in a step shape. That is, as a whole, the insulating layer 30 and the wiring layer 40 are alternately laminated to form the structure 60, but the staircase shape has one step for each pair layer.
- the stepped step portion (horizontal plane portion) is formed by exposing the upper surface of the wiring layer 40, and the stepped portion (vertical surface portion) is formed by exposing the side surface of the end portion of the pair layer 50.
- the step portion of the structure 60 is covered with a spacer 70, and the step portion is covered with a contact pad 90. By providing the contact pad 90 on the exposed surface of the upper surface of the wiring layer 40, this portion is locally thick.
- the insulating film 100 is formed on the surface of the structure 60 whose side surfaces are covered with the spacers 70 and whose upper surface is covered with the contact pads 90 so as to fill all the depressions in the stepped shape.
- the upper surface of the insulating film 100 forms a flat surface, and the insulating film 100 is filled in the stepped depression of the structure 60, and the upper surface is made flat.
- the flat upper surface may be a mirror-polished surface.
- a contact plug 120 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the contact pad 90 in the insulating film 100.
- the contact plug 120 is filled with a metal material such as tungsten (W) to form a wiring plug.
- the contact plug 120 is formed by filling the contact hole 110 with a metal material by etching the contact hole 110. Since the structure 60 has a staircase shape, when the plurality of contact holes 110 are simultaneously formed by etching, the upper contact hole 110 is completely formed before the contact hole 110 is formed up to the lower contact pad 90. Will be formed.
- the contact pad 90 since the contact pad 90 has not been provided, if etching is continued after that, there is a possibility that punch-through that opens a hole in the upper wiring layer 40 may occur.
- the contact pad 90 is formed on the wiring layer 40, and the contact pad 90 prevents the etching of the wiring layer 40 and prevents such punch-through from occurring.
- a metal material having an appropriate etching selectivity is selected, and even when a plurality of contact holes 110 having different etching depths are formed by one etching, punch-through in the upper layer is prevented. Therefore, a plurality of contact holes 110 having different etching depths can be formed by one etching using a single mask, and occurrence of defects can be prevented and productivity can be increased.
- the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment can be suitably applied to a three-dimensional stacked memory device, that is, a three-dimensional NAND flash memory, but can be applied to any semiconductor device having a staircase structure or a step structure. Does not matter.
- the wiring layer 40 forms a word line.
- the substrate 10 is a base for forming a semiconductor device on the surface thereof.
- a silicon substrate silicon wafer made of silicon is used.
- the stop layer 20 is a layer for stopping the etching so that the etching does not proceed any more, and is formed on the surface of the substrate 10.
- the stop layer 20 is made of, for example, a silicon oxide film (SiO 2 ).
- the stop layer 20 is provided over the entire region where the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment is formed.

- the structure 60 is a step-shaped structure formed by the pair layer 50.
- the three-dimensional stacked memory device includes a structure 60 having such a staircase shape. Since the insulating layer 30 is the lower layer and the wiring layer 40 is the upper layer to form one pair layer 50, the exposed surface constituting the stepped step portion is the upper surface of the wiring layer 40. On the other hand, in the stepped step portion, both the insulating layer 30 and the wiring layer 40 are exposed surfaces, and the surface having a laminated structure in which the wiring layer 40 is provided on the insulating layer 30 is an exposed surface.

- the spacer 70 is made of, for example, SiO 2 .
- the contact pad 90 is constituted by an electroless plating layer formed by selective electroless plating.
- the selective electroless plating means electroless plating that is adsorbed only on the surface of silicon constituting the wiring layer 40 and not adsorbed on the SiO 2 film. Therefore, the spacer 70 plays not only a role for merely forming a physical space but also a role for suppressing a chemical reaction that the contact pad 90 is not formed.
- the contact pad 90 is selectively formed at a position where the contact hole 110 is formed, covers the wiring layer 40, increases the thickness of the entire conductive region, and prevents the wiring layer 40 from being destroyed by punch-through. Fulfill. Therefore, the contact pad 90 is made of a metal material having a high etching selectivity with respect to the silicon oxide film and has a predetermined thickness that can prevent punch-through. Since the contact pad 90 is too thick, it may adversely affect the device design, so it is desirable to have an optimized thickness. As will be described later, since the thickness of the contact pad 90 can be adjusted by the electroless plating time, the processing temperature of the electroless plating solution, and the like, the contact pad 90 having an appropriate thickness can be formed.
- the contact pad 90 may be selected from metal materials such as cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), ruthenium (Ru), and aluminum (Al), and more specifically, cobalt may be used. Cobalt is suitable for preventing punch-through because it has a high etching selectivity with respect to the silicon oxide film (SiO 2 ).

- the contact plug 120 is electrically connected to the wiring layer 40 through the contact pad 90.
- the contact pad 90 is provided on the exposed surface of the wiring layer 40 constituting the step portion of the stepped structure 60, thereby providing the wiring layer 40.
- the wiring region can be thickened, and damage to the wiring layer 40 due to the occurrence of punch-through during etching can be reliably prevented.
- a plurality of contact holes 110 having different etching depths can be formed simultaneously by one etching, and the productivity of the semiconductor device can be increased.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a first insulating film forming step of the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device according to the first embodiment.
- the insulating film 71 is formed on the surface of the structure body 60 having a staircase shape.
- the insulating film 71 is preferably formed along the shape of the structure body 60 having a staircase shape because a part of the insulating film 71 is removed by etch back in a later step.
- various insulating films that can function as the spacer 70 may be formed.
- a SiO 2 film that is a silicon oxide film may be formed.
- the insulating film 71 may be formed by various film forming methods, but may be formed by, for example, CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition).
- FIG. 3 is a view showing an example of a spacer forming step of the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device according to the first embodiment.
- the spacer forming step the insulating film 71 formed on the upper surface of the wiring layer 40 that forms the stepped step portion is removed by etch back, and the insulating that covers the side surfaces of the pair layer 50 that forms the stepped stepped portion. Only the film 71 is left, and the spacer 70 is formed.
- the etch back may be performed by, for example, RIE (Reactive Ion Etching).
- the etch back here is preferably performed by dry etching because the insulating film 71 on the side surfaces of the wiring layer 40 and the pair layer 50 is not etched but only the insulating film 71 is precisely etched.
- the role of the spacer 70 is to prevent the catalyst from adsorbing to the side surface of the silicon forming the wiring layer 40 and to deposit the electroless plating layer on the side wall when the contact pad 90 is formed by electroless plating as described above. This is to prevent the occurrence of a short circuit due to the connection with the lower contact pad 90 even if the electroless plating layer overhangs.

- the contact pad 90 can be formed only above the exposed wiring layer 40 that is etched when the contact hole 110 is formed, and only the necessary portions can be wired without increasing the thickness of the entire wiring layer 40.
- the region can be thickened.
- the thickness of the contact pad 90 can be adjusted by the time for performing the electroless plating process, the processing temperature, the concentration of the plating solution, and the like. Therefore, in order to prevent punch-through from occurring during the etching for forming the contact hole 110, a period of time for growing an electroless plating layer having an appropriate thickness is provided, and a predetermined thickness that does not cause punch-through by etching is provided.
