Improved semiconductor chip structure and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to semiconductor fabrication, particularly a kind of semiconductor wafer and the manufacture method thereof that can find the insulating barrier internal voids in advance.
Background technology
Along with the develop rapidly of semiconductor fabrication, semiconductor device has had the deep-submicron structure, and surface of silicon comprises the huge span of quantity less than 0.2 micron groove and fin among the semiconductor integrated circuit IC.In metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) (MOS) circuit, fin is used to form polysilicon gate, and groove is used for forming separator between grid.Utilize chemical vapor deposition CVD or plasma-reinforced chemical vapor deposition pecvd process at the surface of silicon deposition insulating layer, as the separator between the first metal layer of polysilicon gate and MOS transistor.Because this separator generally deposits before any levels of metal in multistage metal structure, therefore it is called (PMD) layer of preceding metal and dielectric (premetal-dielectric).For PMD, importantly have good evenness and trench fill ability.For the sub-micron semiconductor device, the high density dynamic random access memory (DRAM) or the logical storage that for example have groove, wherein the groove narrower and aspect ratio ratio of width (groove height with) higher (about more than 6: 1) that becomes generally uses boron phosphorus silicate glass (BPSG) as the insulating barrier packing material at present.Deposit boron phosphorus silicate glass on substrate is so that form in the technical process of separator, need accurately parameter and flow rate of reactive gas such as control temperature, pressure, deposit power, if therefore process conditions control is improper, for example underlayer temperature is crossed low or sputtering deposit than improper probably can not the complete filling groove when boron phosphorus silicate glass refluxes, thereby in groove, form space (Void).
Figure 1A is for existing the vertical view of the chip structure in space in the deposit separator on the grid structure of Semiconductor substrate.Figure 1B be among Figure 1A A-A to transverse cross-sectional view.Shown in Figure 1A and Figure 1B, be formed with grid structure 110 and groove 120 on silicon substrate 100 surfaces, utilization utilizes chemical vapor deposition CVD or plasma-reinforced chemical vapor deposition pecvd process deposit BPSG separator 200 in the groove 120 on silicon substrate 100 surfaces, thereby covers the grid structure 110 and the groove 120 on silicon substrate 100 surfaces.The grid structure 110 on extensive CMOS integrated circuit such as the dynamic ram chip and the quantity of groove 120 are normally very huge.Groove 120 has higher aspect ratio, if process conditions control is improper in the process of deposit and backflow, will form space 210 in the separator 200 of filling in groove 120.
In ensuing processing step, further on separator 200, form interconnection structure.Fig. 2 A-Fig. 2 C is the schematic diagram of the interconnection structure that forms on the chip separator in the prior art.Fig. 2 A is the vertical view of the interconnection structure that forms on the chip separator in the prior art.Fig. 2 B be among Fig. 2 A A-A to transverse cross-sectional view.Fig. 2 C be among Fig. 2 A B-B to longitudinal sectional drawing.Shown in Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 B and Fig. 2 C, be included in the numerous hole 230 that etches on the groove 120 at the interconnection structure that forms on the chip separator, hole 230 is by vertical etching and through substrate 100 surfaces of the degree of depth, and the groove 220 of horizontal through hole 230.Laterally the groove 220,220 of through hole 230 ' with 220 " parallel side by side each other, hole 230,230 ' and 230 " each interval forms interconnection graph on separator.Suppose in groove 120, to have formed space 210, and space 210 just be positioned at groove 220 ' and 220 " two holes 230 ' and 230 " between.
In ensuing processing step, deposited metal 300 on separator 200 with interconnection graph.Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 C is the schematic diagram after deposited metal 300 on the separator 200 with interconnection graph, specifically, Fig. 3 A is the vertical view after deposited metal 300 on the separator 220 with interconnection graph, Fig. 3 B be the A-A of Fig. 3 A to horizontal profile, Fig. 3 C be among Fig. 3 A B-B to longitudinal sectional drawing.Shown in Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B and Fig. 3 C, on separator 200 after the deposited metal 300 with interconnection graph, hole 230,230 ' and 230 " in deposit metal level 300 form plated-through holes, groove 220,220 ' and 220 " in deposit metal level 300 form interconnecting lines.And, hole 230 ' and 230 " between space 210 in the also deposit metal of having entered.Therefore, by Fig. 3 C as can be seen, metal aperture 230 ' and 230 " between owing to the existence in space 210 has formed short circuit.
In ensuing processing step, utilize CMP technology that metal level 300 is worn until exposing the interconnection graph layer.Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 C be utilize CMP technology with metal level 300 schematic diagram after worn.Fig. 4 A is the vertical view of the separator after worn with metal level 300; Fig. 4 B be the A-A of Fig. 4 A to horizontal profile, Fig. 4 C be among Fig. 4 A B-B to longitudinal sectional drawing.Shown in Fig. 4 A, Fig. 4 B and Fig. 4 C, utilize CMP technology that metal level 300 is worn, the interconnection graph of forming with the lead-in wire 220 of horizontal through hole 230 until the hole 230 of having exposed by deposit metal level.By Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 C as can be seen because the existence in space 210, the hole 230 after the metallization ' and 230 " between space 210 in metals deposited cause going between 220 ' and 220 " between form short circuit.
In the prior art, the inspection of above-mentioned short-circuit conditions is to proceed steps such as subsequent technique such as mask, photoetching, deposit and etching so that after forming multilayer interconnection circuit chip structure, adopts electromotive force method of comparison (voltage contrast) to carry out.Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram that the employing voltage comparison method of prior art is checked short circuit.As shown in Figure 5, the lead-in wire 220 ' and 220 " between apply a voltage V, judge whether the existence in space by the variation of monitoring current.If there is space 210, go between 220 so ' and 220 " between electric current will surpass normal value.If accurately locate the position in space 210, need wait until that entire wafer finishes fully, the general area of utilizing the project analysis method to find this space to exist is then cut off the lead-in wire between each aperture one by one, finds the particular location of space existence with the electromotive force method of comparison.This shows that this process is quite loaded down with trivial details and efficient that check is very low.And this electromotive force method of comparison must form in whole wafer interconnect structure and carry out after finishing, in a single day find the short circuit that cause in the space this moment, and entire wafer just need be scrapped.Trace it to its cause be because the lead-in wire 220 of the interconnection structure of prior art ' and 220 " between be to determine approximate region that the space exists when the state shown in Fig. 4 A, also can't utilize electromotive force to contrast the particular location of finding out the space.Therefore, because the hysteresis that the limitation of the method for testing that the defective of the interconnection structure of above-mentioned prior art causes and space are detected can't in time be found the early failure of chip, cause the increase of defect rate and the raising of manufacturing cost.
