【発明の詳細な説明】
(産業上の利用分野)
この発明は半導体装置の製造方法に係り、特にM系合金
配線の製造方法に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, and particularly to a method of manufacturing an M-based alloy wiring.
(従来の技術)
従来、半導体装置において配線は、M系合金(例えばA
l−5i)をスパッタにより堆積させ、フォトリソエツ
チングによりパターニングして形成している。(Prior Art) Conventionally, wiring in semiconductor devices is made of M-based alloy (for example, A
1-5i) is deposited by sputtering and patterned by photolithography.
(発明が解決しようとする課題)
しかしながら、上記の方法で形成されるM系合金配線で

いう問題点があった。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the M-based alloy wiring formed by the above method, many hillocks occur during heat treatment, interlayer shorts occur, and migration occurs due to stress and current due to the passivation film. There was a problem in that the reliability of the wiring decreased.
これを抑制するためにM系合金中にCuやTiなどの不

どの問題点がある。In order to suppress this, there is a method of adding impurities such as Cu or Ti to the M-based alloy, but there are problems such as difficulty in etching.
一方、M系合金の結晶を一定方向に強く配向させると、
信頼性が向上することは良く知られた事実である。一定

生やマイグレーションが抑制されるからである。On the other hand, if the crystals of the M-based alloy are strongly oriented in a certain direction,
It is a well-known fact that reliability is improved. This is because in a thin film whose crystals are strongly oriented in a certain direction, the misorientation angle between adjacent crystal grains is small, so grain boundary movement is suppressed, and the occurrence of hillocks and migration are suppressed.
しかしながら、従来のスパンタ法では、M系合金膜の結
晶を制御するのは困難であり、M系合金の結晶を一定方
向に強く配向させる有効な手段が未だ開発されていない
。However, with the conventional spunter method, it is difficult to control the crystals of the M-based alloy film, and an effective means for strongly orienting the crystals of the M-based alloy in a certain direction has not yet been developed.
この発明は上記の点に鑑みなされたもので、配線として
のM系合金膜を容易に一定の方向に結晶配向させて信頼
性の高いM系合金配線を容易に得ることができる半導体
装置の製造方法を捉供することを目的とする。The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is possible to manufacture a semiconductor device in which highly reliable M-based alloy wiring can be easily obtained by easily crystallizing an M-based alloy film as a wiring in a certain direction. The purpose is to provide information on how to do this.

Therefore, by patterning this M-based alloy film, a highly reliable M-based alloy wiring can be easily obtained. Note that the high melting point metal film is also patterned in the same way and becomes part of the wiring.

It is formed with strong crystal orientation in the direction, and its M
