Embodiment
The present invention has disclosed a kind of technology that can accomplish well for the polysilicon filling in the hole with high-aspect-ratio.This polycrystalline silicon deposition process is used to fill the hole with high-aspect-ratio, and this technology comprises:
Several process cycles, each process cycles comprises:
The polysilicon of deposit predetermined thickness in having the hole of high-aspect-ratio, deposit is carried out at low temperatures, and the polycrystalline silicon growth speed in aperture is greater than the polycrystalline silicon growth speed of bottom, hole;
Elevated temperature also feeds etching gas; Polysilicon in the hole of high-aspect-ratio is carried out etching; Etching is at high temperature carried out, and the etching polysilicon speed in aperture is greater than the etching polysilicon speed of hole bottom, and the polysilicon thickness of etching metapore bottom is greater than the polysilicon thickness in aperture;
Reduce temperature to low temperature;
Repeating for several times, process cycles is filled until the hole with high-aspect-ratio.
In one embodiment, in the process of deposit polysilicon, use hydrogen as carrying gas, silane is as silicon source gas.
In one embodiment, etching gas is a hydrogen chloride.
In one embodiment, in each process cycles, also comprise with the hydrogen purge hole to remove the accessory substance that etching produces behind reduction temperature to the low temperature.
Above-mentioned polycrystalline silicon deposition process is particularly suitable for epitaxial device.
With reference to shown in Figure 1, Fig. 1 has disclosed the sketch map of the technical process of polycrystalline silicon deposition process according to an embodiment of the invention.
At first, with reference to shown in wherein (a), the certain thickness polysilicon of deposit at low temperatures, the growth rate in aperture is greater than the growth rate of bottom, and the thickness of polysilicon is greater than bottom polysilicon thickness near the aperture.So the polysilicon of deposit forms the tubaeform of downward expansion in the hole.In the process of deposit, can adopt hydrogen as carrying gas, silane is as silicon source gas.
With reference to shown in wherein (b); Feed etching gas behind the elevated temperature polysilicon is carried out etching; Etching is at high temperature carried out, and the etching polysilicon speed in aperture is greater than the etching polysilicon speed of hole bottom, and the polysilicon thickness of etching metapore bottom is greater than the polysilicon thickness in aperture.After etching, polysilicon forms the tubaeform of upwards expansion.In etching process, adopt hydrogen chloride as etching gas.
After accomplishing etching, once more temperature is reduced to low temperature, promptly be suitable for the temperature of polysilicon deposit, and use the hydrogen purge certain hour, remove the accessory substance that etching generates, and prevent that oxide layer from occurring.So just accomplished a process cycles.
With reference to wherein (c) with (d); Repeat the above-mentioned deposit and the process of etching, relatively (a) and (b) with (c), (d) can find, after each process cycles is accomplished; The bottom in hole is just filled fully, and a back process cycles can be regarded as on the hole of " more shallow " carries out.
After several circulations, can obtain the effect shown in (e) so repeatedly, promptly the inside in hole is filled fully.
The technology that this polysilicon is filled can better solve the filling in the hole of high-aspect-ratio, can accomplish the filling of 4: 1 above high-aspect-ratios.On 4: 1 technology of depth-to-width ratio, make an experiment, fill finely in crystal circle center, do not have the slit; At crystal round fringes, there is very little slit, meet the device performance demands fully.
Adopt technical scheme of the present invention; Through repetitious filling, etching circulation; The bottom of guaranteeing the hole can access sufficient filling, and, using hydrogen to purge after the etching each time; Can effectively remove accessory substance and prevent that oxide layer from producing, thereby obtain high-quality filling effect.
The foregoing description provides to being familiar with personnel in this area and realizes or use of the present invention; Being familiar with those skilled in the art can be under the situation that does not break away from invention thought of the present invention; The foregoing description is made various modifications or variation; Thereby protection scope of the present invention do not limit by the foregoing description, and should be the maximum magnitude that meets the inventive features that claims mention.
