4443 3 5 f2·'發明說明(l) ' " 本案係關於一種形成多重内連線結構之製程,尤指一 種形成自對準多重内連線結構之製程。 隨著半導體產業的急速發展’積體電路的積集度也逐 漸增加,當晶片的表面無法提供足夠的面積製作大量的元 件,就必須使用多重内連線以聯繫各個元件,即利用多層 結構,在同樣面積的晶片上完成更複雜的設計及提供更完 善的功能。當然,為了盡可能的縮小半導體裝置的體積, 除了使用多層結構之外,縮小元件間之距離也是半導體業 者努力研發的目標,好達到今日對半導體裝置的小體積高 性能之要求’因而有各式精密技術的產生,對線寬的要求 也從微米到次微米,甚至推展到深次微米的領域。 但是在元件間距離縮小的同時,相鄰導線間的電容搞 合效應卻帶來了問題,當導線間的距離愈短,毫無疑問地 電容耦合效應就會愈大,當線寬小於0.3微米時,有9096的 電容是來自於導線間的電容,足見其不可忽視的程度,為 了減低導線間的耦合效應,開始有人在導線及導線之間填 入低介電常數(low-k)之材料,其介電常數小於3,最好是 小於2 ’像是於四乙氧基矽烷(tetraethylorthosiiane, TE0S)中加入氟可將其介電常數降至3.3,這種介電材料已 被應用於0,3 5微米的製程,有人預測未來的介電材料會朝 向使用聚合物及氣膠(aerogels)發展。 上述利用研發介電材料來降低電容耦合效應的方法已 屬於材料之領域’現在已有一種新的製程被提出,即使不 使用新的介電材料也可以降低導線間的電容耦合效應,就4443 3 5 f2 · 'Explanation (l)' " This case is about a process for forming a multiple interconnect structure, especially a process for forming a self-aligned multiple interconnect structure. With the rapid development of the semiconductor industry, the accumulation degree of integrated circuits has gradually increased. When the surface of the wafer cannot provide enough area to make a large number of components, multiple interconnects must be used to connect the various components, that is, using a multilayer structure. Complete more complex designs and provide more complete functions on the same area of the chip. Of course, in order to reduce the size of the semiconductor device as much as possible, in addition to using a multilayer structure, reducing the distance between components is also a goal of the semiconductor industry to research and develop, so as to meet today's requirements for small size and high performance of semiconductor devices. With the generation of precision technology, the requirements for line width also range from micron to sub-micron, and even extend to the field of deep sub-micron. However, as the distance between components decreases, the capacitance-combining effect between adjacent wires brings problems. When the distance between wires is shorter, there is no doubt that the capacitive coupling effect will be greater. When the line width is less than 0.3 microns At that time, the capacitance of 9096 is from the capacitance between the wires, which is to a degree that cannot be ignored. In order to reduce the coupling effect between the wires, some people began to fill low-k materials between the wires and the wires. , Its dielectric constant is less than 3, preferably less than 2 'For example, adding tetraethylorthosiiane (TEOS) to reduce the dielectric constant to 3.3, this dielectric material has been applied to 0 In the 35 micron process, some people predict that the future dielectric materials will develop toward the use of polymers and aerogels. The above-mentioned method for reducing the capacitive coupling effect by using the research and development of a dielectric material belongs to the field of materials. Now a new process has been proposed. Even without using a new dielectric material, the capacitive coupling effect between the wires can be reduced.
第4頁 4443 3 5 I五、發明說明(2) 是在導線間的介電材料中形成孔隙(air gap)(J. G. Fleming and E. R. Osmun, "Use of Air Gap Structures to Lower Intralevel Capacitance", DUMIC Conference,pl39-146, 1997),即介電材料中有一部份 是被空氣所取代’因為空氣的介電常數很低(約為1 ), 則無疑地可大幅減低導線間的電容耦合效應。其多重内連 線之結構顯示於第一圖,半導體基材11中包含金氧半場效 電晶體(metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor,MOSFET)元件(並未繪出),不同層之金氧 半場效電晶體元件各與導線12及13採歐姆式接觸,兩者之 間有一插塞(plug )14將導線12及13連接起來,以溝通不同 層之金氧半場效電晶體元件,另外,除了特定部份的連接 之外’各金氧半場效電晶體元件必須以介電層1 5隔開,以 防短路或漏電,在介電層1 5之中則顯示有一孔隙1 6,可以 降低相鄰導線1 2間的電容耦合效應。 加入孔隙雖可以降低電容耦合效應,但是在製作過程 中卻有隱藏的危機,請參閱第二圖,其顯示一般多重内連 線之製程步驟。請先參閱第二圖(A),首先在包含金氧半 場效電晶體元件的半導體基材11上形成導線12,導線丨2的 材質多為鋁’因為鋁的電阻率低’而且與二氧化矽層間的 附著性良好;接著沈積一層介電層丨5,以隔離不同層的金 氧半場效電晶體元件,介電層15的材質多為二氧化矽,其 介電常數約為4,可在其間形成孔隙1 6 ;然後在介電層i 5 上形成一層光阻層丨7,經圖樣轉移後(pattern)可定義出Page 4443 3 5 I. Explanation of the invention (2) is to form an air gap in the dielectric material between the wires (JG Fleming and ER Osmun, " Use of Air Gap Structures to Lower Intralevel Capacitance ", DUMIC Conference, pl39-146, 1997), that is, part of the dielectric material is replaced by air 'because the dielectric constant of air is very low (about 1), it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the capacitive coupling effect between the wires. The structure of multiple interconnections is shown in the first figure. The semiconductor substrate 11 includes metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) elements (not shown), and the metal oxide half field effect of different layers The transistor elements are in ohmic contact with the wires 12 and 13 with a plug 14 connecting the wires 12 and 13 to communicate the metal-oxide-semiconductor half-field effect transistor elements in different layers. In addition, except for the specific Outside of the partial connection, each metal-oxide-semiconductor half-effect transistor element must be separated by a dielectric layer 15 to prevent short circuit or leakage. A dielectric 16 is shown in the dielectric layer 15 to reduce adjacent Capacitive coupling effect between wires 12. Although the addition of pores can reduce the capacitive coupling effect, there are hidden risks in the manufacturing process. Please refer to the second figure, which shows the general process steps of multiple interconnects. Please refer to the second figure (A). First, a conductive wire 12 is formed on a semiconductor substrate 11 including a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor element. The material of the conductive wire 2 is mostly aluminum 'because the resistivity of aluminum is low' and the The adhesion between the silicon layers is good; then a dielectric layer 5 is deposited to isolate the different layers of gold-oxygen half field effect transistor elements. The material of the dielectric layer 15 is mostly silicon dioxide, and its dielectric constant is about 4, which can be A pore 16 is formed therebetween; then a photoresist layer 丨 7 is formed on the dielectric layer i 5. After pattern transfer (pattern) can be defined

Description of the invention (3) Position of the interlayer window. Next, referring to the second figure (B), a portion of the dielectric layer 15 'is removed by anisotropic etching to form a dielectric window 18. Please refer to the second step (C). A conductive layer is deposited in the dielectric window 18 and the dielectric layer 15. The material is mostly town. Then #etch away the conductive layer above the dielectric layer 15 and leave only the dielectric layer. The conductive layer in the ®18 is formed as the plug 14 'and finally formed on the plug 14-the wire 13' becomes a multiple interconnect structure as shown in the first figure. The disadvantage of this process is that if the definition of the photoresist layer 17 is inaccurate, so that the etched interlayer window 18 is in communication with the aperture 16, the conductive material will inevitably enter the aperture 16 when the conductive layer is filled. The entire structure of multiple interconnects will be cracked, and short circuits and leakages will occur. In addition, 'the use of filling conductive materials in the interlayer window has another drawback—as the line width becomes thinner', it is not easy to completely fill the interlayer window. Insufficient step coverage capabilities will cause Holes appear in the plug. This will cause the reliability of the component during operation. Therefore, U.S. Patent No. 5, 6 63, 1 08 proposes to first form a wire and the plug above it, and then place a phase between the wire and the plug. Filling the dielectric layer 'can avoid the above problems, but this method still has alignment problems when generating wires and plugs. Due to the lack of conventional technology, the present invention has a spirit of perseverance and excellence in research. In order to improve the problem of excessive capacitive coupling effect between wires and the inability to effectively align in the conventional technology, the final research and development The process of forming a self-aligned multiple interconnect structure in the present case is expected to effectively solve the shortcomings in the conventional technology.

Explanation of the invention (8) (electromigration), so the use of copper or copper-silicon-containing aluminum alloy 'Conductive layer 3 is formed using magnetron DC sputter ing' The temperature is controlled between room temperature and 500 ° C. In addition, because silicon has a certain solid solubility for aluminum at about 400 ° C, in order to prevent silicon from entering the aluminum layer by diffusion, causing a spike (spike) phenomenon and a short circuit, it is necessary to firstly use the semiconductor substrate 2 (mostly A barrier layer 61 is formed between the silicon substrate) and the conductive layer 3. The material of the barrier layer 61 is mostly titanium / titanium nitride or titanium tungsten. First, a layer of metal is formed by magnetron DC sputtering method. The titanium layer has a thickness of about 100 Angstroms to 500 Angstroms. Next, the wafer can be placed in an environment containing nitrogen or ammonia, and the titanium metal can be nitrided to Ti11 by high temperature, or by reactive quenching. (Reactive sputtering) A layer of titanium nitride is deposited directly on the metal titanium layer, with a thickness of about 500 Angstroms to 100 Angstroms. As for the titanium tungsten alloy layer, it is generated by magnetron DC sputtering. Next, a plug is formed, and the material of the plug is mostly aluminum or tungsten, because tungsten's high melting point 'while the internal stress is not large' makes it the main plug material in the industry today. First, chemical vapor deposition (chemica 丨 va ρ οr deposition, CVD) was used, and the reaction gas was tungsten hexafluoride, which produced 5000 angstroms to loooo angstroms at 300 eC to 550 ° C and 1 to 100 torr. Of tungsten metal layer 4. At the same time, in order to increase the adhesion between tungsten and other metals, a glue layer 62 is first formed between the tungsten metal layer 4 and the conductive layer 3, and the adhesion layer is mostly a titanium / titanium nitride layer or a titanium tungsten alloy layer. Therefore, the formation method and conditions are the same as the foregoing barrier layer 6 1. After depositing a tungsten metal layer 4, a titanium nitride layer can be deposited as an etching step for subsequent steps.

Description of the invention (9) '' --- The formation method and conditions of the stop layer 63 are the same as above, and its use will be described later. Then, in order to define the pattern of the plug, a photoresist layer 51 'is square-shaped on the etch stop layer 63, and the pattern is transferred as shown in the third figure. Please refer to the third figure (B), using the photoresist layer 51 as a mask to etch the tungsten metal layer 4 ′ Before this, of course, it is necessary to remove a part of the etching stop layer 63 above the tungsten metal layer 4 to be etched. This is repeated. The tungsten metal layer 4 is etched using reactive ion etching (RIE). The reaction gas can be carbon tetrafluoride / oxygen, nitrogen trifluoride / oxygen, or sulfur hexafluoride / • oxygen. A mixed gas of fluoride and oxygen reacts with tungsten to form a hexafluoride crane to volatilize. The retained metal layer becomes the plug column 4 & and the photoresist layer 51 is removed. Refer to the second figure (C). After forming the plug post 4a, the next step is to form the lower wire. First, a photoresist layer 52 is formed above the plug post 4a. The light is defined according to the pattern of the wire to be formed. The resist layer 52, the photoresist layer usually covers the entire plug post 4a, and at the same time covers a small part of the lower conductive layer 3 'but as the line width is shortened' the definition of the photoresist layer is sometimes not so precise, so there are The photoresist layer 53 does not completely cover the plug post 4a. Then refer to the third figure (D) 'Etching the conductive layer 3 with the photoresist layers 52 and 53 as masks' Using a reactive ion etching method, the reaction gas can be four gaseous silicon / gas, three gaseous boron / gas The mixed gas of gaseous compounds (bromide), boron tribromide / gas, or tetracarbonated carbon / gas, and chlorine gas reacts with aluminum to form a three-gasification inscription, and then volatilizes. The photoresist layers 52 and 53 are removed. When the definition of the photoresist layer 53 is not accurate enough, at this time, the portion of the plug 4a that is not covered by the photoresist layer 53 is only the upper titanium nitride layer.

It can be seen from the third figure (D) that the obtained plug post 4a has the largest contact area with the lead wire 3a, which can reduce the resistance of the contact surface, which is particularly beneficial to conduction. Moreover, the plug post 4a and the lead wire 3a are also self-aligned. The alignment method is formed without alignment problems. Please refer to the third figure (E) again, and then fill a dielectric layer 7 between the adjacent wires 3a and the plug posts 4a to isolate the upper and lower wires. There are many kinds of materials that can be used as the dielectric layer 7. There are known silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, oxynitride, phosphosilicate glass (PSG), and borophosphosil icate glass (BPSG), etc., and the formation method includes atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD), low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) And so on. For example, low-pressure chemical vapor deposition or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (400 ° C) can be used to generate the silicon dioxide layer; low-pressure chemical vapor deposition or plasma-enhanced chemical vapor can be used to generate the silicon nitride layer. Vapor deposition, such as when using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition, the temperature is about 70 0 ° C to 800 ° C, the pressure is about 0.1 Torr to 1 Torr, such as the use of plasma to strengthen chemical vapor deposition , The temperature can be lowered below 450 ° c; the silicon oxynitride layer can also be formed by low pressure chemical vapor deposition or plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. When using low pressure chemical vapor deposition, the temperature is higher than 8 5 0 t : Using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method, the temperature can be reduced to 4 5 0 t: below; the generated phosphosilicate glass layer can be used

Description of the invention (II) Atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition method or plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. When atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition method is used, the temperature is controlled to about 400 t: about If the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method is used, the reaction temperature is similar to the atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition method; the borophosphosilicate glass layer can be formed using the atmospheric chemical vapor deposition method or the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Its temperature conditions are similar to the formation of a phosphate rock glass layer. In addition, when using dielectric materials, we must choose materials with low step coverage. That is, we hope that the poor filling will occur, so that most of the dielectric materials will be deposited on the surface 'and form pores 8 between adjacent wires 3a. The internal air can reduce the capacitive coupling effect between the wires 3a. The principle has been described above. Please refer to the third figure (F), which shows a planarization step. A dielectric layer 7 is filled with a gap (f iu) layer 9 in the groove. The material can be coated on glass (spin on glass (Sog) oxide (silicon dioxide), high density plasma (HDP) oxide. The spin-on glass-breaking method first spin-coated a liquid dielectric material on the wafer, such as lysate (Uicate) or siioxane, and uses the fluidity of the dielectric material * to fill the concave Pa. Then the solvent is removed by heat treatment to form a material similar to silicon dioxide; the high-density plasma method is a new type of chemical vapor deposition & line i.

Description of the invention (12) There are two methods for uniform removal, one is called etch back method, and the other is chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). The former is to remove the dielectric material above the plug posts 4a by using an etching method. This method will affect the flatness due to the spacing between the plug posts 4a; the latter is a more commonly used method in the industry today. The method achieves the purpose of flattening. At this time, 'the etch stop layer 6 3 formed in the previous step comes in handy'. Because of the difference in the plasma spectrum of titanium nitride and tungsten, it is easy to judge when the last name is carved or ground. The plug column 4a stops polishing once the polishing end point is detected, and then thoroughly cleans the remaining slurry on the wafer by brushing, spraying, and ultrasonic cleaning. After flattening, you can start to form the upper wire. Please refer to the third figure (H). The steps are the same as forming the lower wire 3 & The formation of the conductive layer 10 (aluminum, aluminum-copper alloy, or aluminum-copper-silicon alloy) and the anti-reflective layer 65, the adhesive layer 64, and the conductive layer 10 have been described in detail above, so they are not repeated here, and it is necessary to form a reflective Layer 65 'This is because the metallic luster of aluminum itself will affect the exposure of the photoresist layer above it, which will affect the accuracy of the lithography. Therefore, a photoreflection layer 65 is formed in the photoresist layer and its inscription: The material is mostly titanium nitride. The formation method is the same as the method of forming titanium nitride mentioned earlier. After the autumn, a photoresist layer 54 is formed according to a desired upper-layer wiring pattern.

Description of the invention (〖3) ~~-The mixed gas' remaining conductive layer is the wire 10a, and then the photoresist layer is removed 'to this' to form a multiple interconnect structure This brings us to the complete structure of a self-aligned multiple interconnect. The advantages of the process disclosed in the present invention include the ability to generate self-aligned wire 2 plugs' so that the wire has the largest contact area between the plugs; in addition, a void is formed in the dielectric layer to reduce the capacitive coupling effect between the wires. Without causing short circuit or leakage due to the filling of conductive materials; further, first forming plug posts so that the trenches between the plug posts have a high aspect ratio, which makes it easier to form a dielectric layer with pores ; And the tungsten metal layer that will become a plug is deposited on the conductive layer without any etching step, so there is no need to clean the interface between the tungsten metal layer and the conductive layer. In contrast, the traditional method is to deposit tungsten metal In the etched via window, residues of the etch via window must be left in the via window. 'In order to avoid the reduction of the contact between the plug and the wire', an additional step of cleaning the via window is necessary. ' It can be seen that this process can also simplify the original process. To sum up, this case is characterized in that when forming multiple interconnects, the lower-layer wires, dielectric layers, plugs, and upper-layer wires are generated traditionally first by forming plugs, then by lower-layer wires, and then by dielectric layers. Generating upper-layer wires can not only simplify the original process, but also improve the structural defects of multiple interconnects, which is a process with great application value. In this case, anyone who is familiar with this skill can use any of the techniques to modify it, but it is not as good as the person who wants to protect the scope of the patent application.
