Fig. 5 to Figure 10 is the profile of explanation method, semi-conductor device manufacturing method of the present invention.Describe the processing step of this method of realization in detail below in conjunction with Fig. 5 to Figure 10.As shown in Figure 5, the present invention at first forms a dielectric layer 105 and by photoetching, etching and plated metal at substrate 100, copper for example, the metal pattern 110 of formation.
Then, as shown in Figure 6, deposition one etching stop layer 120 on substrate 100 and metal pattern 110, the method for deposition can be a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition.Preferably, the thickness of deposition is 100 dust to 300 dusts, and the material of deposition can be a nitrogen-doped silicon carbide, the oxide of silicon, carborundum (SiC), silicon nitride (SiN), one or its combination in the carbon oxynitride (SiOC).This etching stop layer 120 can not diffuse in the upper strata to stop metal such as copper in the lower metal pattern as protection lower metal pattern 110 injury-free barrier material and can be used as the diffusion impervious layer of lower metal when the etching of upper strata.Copper has very strong diffusion effect as the interconnecting metal of back segment as known to persons skilled in the art, thereby etching stop layer also has as the effect that stops the lower metal diffusion.Method, semi-conductor device manufacturing method of the present invention is not that direct accumulation top dielectric layer is finished the deposition to non-conductive dielectric layer on etching stop layer 120, but after deposition-etch stops layer 120, on etching stop layer 120, deposit one deck barrier layer 125 by physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical vapor deposition, the thickness on this barrier layer 125 is 200 dusts~600 dusts, the material on this barrier layer can be high density and heavily stressed silicon nitride (SiN) or other organic materials, inorganic material, metal, the oxide that perhaps comprises silicon at least, carborundum (SiC), one or its combination in the carbon oxynitride (SiOC).After the deposition of finishing barrier layer 125, deposit middle dielectric layer 130 thereon, because middle dielectric layer need be selected the little material of dielectric constant for use, the preferred method deposit fluorine silex glass (FSG) that uses chemical vapour deposition (CVD) in the present embodiment, wherein, the concentration height of common fluorine, its dielectric constant can be little, makes its dielectric constant be about 3.7 in the present embodiment.Other optional material comprises fluorine silex glass (FSG), phosphorosilicate glass (PSG), Pyrex (BSG) or boron-phosphorosilicate glass (BPSG).The barrier layer 125 of deposition can stop the diffusion of fluorine in the middle dielectric layer 130 and reduce the tensile stress influence of FSG, has increased the adhesion property of etching stop layer 120 and middle dielectric layer 130, reduced two-layer between layering, defective such as peel off.
Finish after having on the substrate of metal pattern deposition-etch and stopping layer 120, barrier layer 125 and middle dielectric layer 130, as shown in Figure 7, painting photoresist 135 forms pattern 136 by exposure imaging on middle dielectric layer, the definition connecting hole, the position of metal pattern 110 is corresponding on the middle dielectric layer 130 that exposes lower floor, the position of pattern 136 and substrate 100.Then; as shown in Figure 8; this middle dielectric layer 130 of etching; photoresist is covered the position as the middle dielectric layer 130 of barrier layer protected its lower floor of etching by photoresist in etching process; so middle dielectric layer 130 connecting hole positions are owing to expose and can be etched; by dry method or wet etching, on middle dielectric layer 130, form through hole 140.Be etched in when exposing middle dielectric layer 130 lower floor barrier layers 125 and stop, as can be seen, barrier layer 125 is also as the etching stop layer of middle dielectric layer 130.Remove photoresist 135 by ashing (Ashing) and cleaning (strip), just formed the through hole 140 on middle dielectric layer 130.As shown in Figure 9, with on middle dielectric layer 130, forming groove 150 with above-mentioned identical method, the degree of depth of groove 150 is less than the degree of depth of through hole 140, also be the barrier layer 125 that middle dielectric layer 130 lower floors can not exposed in the bottom of groove 150, whether groove 150 is with the link to each other electrical connection needs of the metal that depends on groove 150 and through hole 140 depositions of through hole 140.Continue etching and cleaning then and remove through hole 140 following barrier layer 130 and etching stop layers 125, the metal pattern 110 on the substrate can be exposed by through hole 140.
As shown in figure 10, in groove 150 that forms and through hole 140, insert metal, as copper, because the diffusion effect of copper ion, if it is not handled accordingly, the copper that is filled in through hole 140 and the groove 150 will diffuse to its adjacent dielectric layer such as middle dielectric layer 130, will change the insulation effect of dielectric layer and introduce other ghost effect, influences the performance of device.Thereby be necessary it is carried out suitable processing; usually can first deposit diffusion impervious layer (Diffusion Barrier), by suitable method such as physical vapour deposition (PVD) or chemical vapour deposition (CVD) deposit layer of metal barrier layer 160, its material can be titanium nitride (TiN) 150 kinds of described through hole 140 and grooves; titanium (Ti); tungsten (W), tantalum (Ta), molybdenum (Mo); cobalt (Co); platinum (Pt), titanium tungsten (TiW), a kind of or its combination in the tantalum nitride (TiN).Add metal barrier 160 and can well stop the diffusion of metallic copper, and can strengthen the adhesiveness of metallic copper and its dielectric layer dielectric layer.(Metal seed) 170 of accumulation metal seed layer on metal barrier 160 and interconnecting metal layer 180, its deposit can be physical vapour deposition (PVD), chemical vapour deposition (CVD) or plating.The thickness of metals deposited layer fills up whole through hole 140 and groove 150 at least.
Though the present invention with preferred embodiment openly as above; but it is not to be used for limiting the present invention; any those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; can make possible change and modification, so protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with the scope that claim of the present invention was defined.
