Be applied to improve in the shallow ditch groove separation process method of device isolation effect
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method of improving the device isolation effect, especially be applied to improve in the shallow ditch groove separation process method of device isolation effect.
Background technology
In the modem semi-conductor devices manufacturing process, shallow trench isolation is from (Shallow Trench lsolation, abbreviation STI) technology plays very enormous function, STI technology is by dig out a trapezoidal groove wide at the top and narrow at the bottom on silicon substrate, insert silica then therein, thereby play isolation effect.For the following technology of 0.18um, STI technology can play the good isolation effect when saving the design space.
But along with the continuous development of modern semiconductors manufacturing process, STI technology also exposes a lot of deficiencies, especially on its isolation effect, often can't satisfy design and producer's requirement fully.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention provides a kind of method that is applied to improve in the shallow ditch groove separation process device isolation effect, and it can further improve the device isolation effect.
In order to solve above technical problem, the present invention proposes a kind of method that is applied to improve in the shallow ditch groove separation process device isolation effect, it had increased following steps successively before shallow groove isolation etching: oxygen injects, and adopts the repeatedly injection mode of different-energy; Annealing, make oxygen and pasc reaction and guarantee after the STI bottom position production silica of STI etching after finishing.
The present invention has increased following steps successively by before the STI etching: oxygen injects; Annealing, make oxygen and pasc reaction and guarantee after the STI bottom position production silica of STI etching after finishing, improve the isolation effect of STI with this.Inject by oxidation repeatedly, can increase in the STI bottom and one deck oxidation separator, further increase isolation effect.So, under the situation of identical STI width, strengthen isolation effect, also can under the situation that guarantees the same separation effect, reduce the STI width as far as possible, save area.

Embodiment
The present invention will be described below in conjunction with Fig. 1-5.At first carry out doing oxygen and inject (see figure 2) in the position that forms STI, anneal then, make oxygen and pasc reaction and guarantee after the STI bottom position of STI etching after finishing produce the silica (see figure 3), carry out STI etching (see figure 4) subsequently, pass through bed course oxide layer (LinearOxide) growth then, form resulting devices of the present invention at last, it is constructed as shown in Figure 5.
For concrete different manufacturing process, it should be noted that the position that the preceding oxygen of etching injects should reach near the STI bottom, the silica that is formed by annealing after making occupies bottom section after the STI etching, to guarantee to reach the desirable effect of patent, according to the different process requirement, in conjunction with the variation of the STI degree of depth, the degree of depth that oxygen injects should corresponding the adjusting.As the better isolation effect of needs, can increase the number of times that oxygen injects as one sees fit, promptly repeatedly carry out oxygen and inject with different-energy, be enough to occupy the STI bottom section with the silica that forms after guaranteeing, to reach better isolation effect.
Inject by current oxidation, can increase in the STI bottom and one deck oxidation separator, further increase isolation effect.So, under the situation of identical STI width, strengthen isolation effect, also can under the situation that guarantees the same separation effect, reduce the STI width as far as possible, save area.
