Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a semiconductor chip. The method comprises the following steps: forming an oxide film on a silicon wafer, coating photoresist on the silicon wafer with the oxide film, using a mask to etch a circuit pattern on the silicon wafer with photoresist, etching to remove the residual photoresist and oxide film on the surface of the silicon wafer, forming elements required by the wafer through ion implantation, and forming metal wires on the silicon wafer, wherein the step of forming metal wires on the silicon wafer comprises the following steps: depositing metal aluminum on the surface of the wafer and etching metal aluminum to form the layout of wires. In the step of forming metal wires, when aluminum is etched, a mixed gas containing nitrogen is used as etching gas, the by-products of the reaction are less and a thermally stable film is formed, thus protecting the aluminum side wall, reducing the path of electron transfer and lowering the probability of electron transfer.

Description

A kind of manufacturing method for semiconductor chips
[technical field]
The invention relates to a kind of semiconductor making method,, thereby can change the method for semiconductor chip metal connecting line electron transfer performance particularly about a kind of improvement semiconductor alloy line engraving method.
[background technology]
Electron transfer (EM) phenomenon is a kind of because the bump of electron stream makes metallic atom produce the effect of displacement.When passing through big electric current in the plain conductor, electrostatic field force drives electronics and is moved by the negative electrode anode, the electronics of high-speed motion and metallic atom generation energy exchange, atom is subjected to fierce electron bombardment power (being so-called electronics wind-force), but metallic atom is also received reciprocal electrostatic field force simultaneously, when the current density in the plain conductor was higher, a large amount of electron collision atoms of anode motion made electronics wind-force that metallic atom is subjected to greater than electrostatic field force.Therefore metallic atom is subjected to the driving of electronics wind-force, makes it from the directed diffusion of negative electrode anode, thereby electromigration takes place.
The inner employing of integrated circuit (IC) chip (IC) metallic film goes between and conducts operating current, and the metallic film of this conduction current is called interconnecting line.Along with the raising of chip integration, it is thinner, narrower, thinner that interconnecting line becomes, and therefore current density wherein is increasing.As previously mentioned, under higher current density effect, the metallic atom in the interconnecting line will move along the electron motion direction.The atom that is shifted may produce prominent mound and prominent palpus on the surface of interconnecting line when interconnecting line one end is assembled, the prominent mound of these outside projections and prominent palpus make easily between adjacent two interconnecting lines and produce short circuit.In addition, metallic atom displacement back produces the hole in the original place, move to the opposite direction of atom in the hole, gathers, when the hole is assembled mutually and formed the cavity, the sectional area of the current path of interconnecting line reduces, and the resistance of interconnecting line is increased, and current density increases, thus the local temperature that forms interconnecting line increases, cause interconnecting line to blow, cause and open circuit.
Therefore in the manufacture process of IC, require usually IC is carried out the electron transfer test, if IC is short-circuited in the electron transfer test or time of opening circuit less than the stipulated time, electron transfer test crash then.
The material that is used to form interconnecting line is generally aluminum metal, and the step that forms the aluminium line is carried out etching to the aluminium film, to form required lead-in wire Butut then normally earlier at semi-conductor silicon chip surface deposition aluminium.When al deposition, aluminium inside is to exist with a lot of metallic particles, and the easiest granule boundary place that occurs in particle and particle boundary of electron transfer, when al deposition, the particle that forms is big more, then the intersection of particle is just few more, and the path of electron transfer is just few more, and the probability that electron transfer takes place is low more.
In the existing technology, normally adopt fluoroform (CHF3) the aluminium film to be etched with the aluminum metal line that produces required form as etching gas.But fluoroform is during as etching gas, the accessory substance that produces during reaction is more, sidewall at the aluminum metal line can form heavier polymer, and contained fluorine ion can produce erosion to aluminum metal in these polymer, cause the original granule boundary of aluminium sidewall destroyed, and form the more particles border, so the path of electron transfer can increase, the probability that electron transfer takes place correspondingly increases, and causes the electron transfer test crash easily.
And prior art mainly solves by the thickness of regulating titanium or titanium nitride when the electron transfer test crash takes place, but effect is not purchased obviously.Perhaps solve, but cost is very high by using ion injection titanium to replace traditional physical vapour deposition (PVD) titanium.
Therefore, a kind of new solution of necessary proposition is to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages of prior art.
