Step S14 adopts the described polysilicon layer of chemico-mechanical polishing planarization, until exposing described grid oxic horizon.
But, the inventor observes, the groove MOS performance that the formation method of above-mentioned groove MOS forms is good not enough, for this reason, the inventor further discovers: be CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) process at the flatening process in step S14 specifically, and flatening process is controlled stopping of chemico-mechanical polishing by terminal point control (End-Pointing) method, and end-point control method is difficult to the accurate thickness planarization of control, throws thereby make polysilicon layer to be crossed; On the other hand, the homogeneity of chemico-mechanical polishing is also good inadequately, when described polysilicon layer is polished, is easy to form rugged surface topography, makes that the groove MOS performance of follow-up formation is good not enough; In addition, when the chemico-mechanical polishing planarization exposes described grid oxic horizon, be easy to be damaged to described grid oxic horizon, make the further degrade performance of groove MOS.

The specific embodiment of the formation method of below detailed in conjunction with the drawings description groove MOS, above-mentioned purpose and advantage of the present invention will be clearer:
Please refer to Fig. 3, Semiconductor substrate 100 is provided, described Semiconductor substrate 100 surfaces are formed with cushion oxide layer 110, and described cushion oxide layer 110 surfaces are formed with barrier layer 120.
Described Semiconductor substrate 100 can or be silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate for silicon-based semiconductor, is example exemplary illustration in addition with the silicon substrate in the present embodiment.
The material of described cushion oxide layer 110 is a silica, the formation technology of described cushion oxide layer 110 is chemical vapour deposition (CVD) or thermal oxidation, described cushion oxide layer 110 is used to avoid the described Semiconductor substrate 100 and the barrier layer 120 of follow-up formation not to match, thereby make that stress is bigger in the whole formation technology, influence forms the quality of technology.
The material on described barrier layer 120 is a silicon nitride, and described barrier layer 120 is used on the barrier layer of subsequent planarization technology as planarization, and described barrier layer 120 can also be as the mask layer of subsequent etching polysilicon; Described barrier layer 120 thickness are 400 to 1000 dusts, and as an embodiment, described barrier layer 120 thickness are 500 dusts.
Please refer to Fig. 4, remove the described barrier layer 120 of part, described cushion oxide layer 110 and described Semiconductor substrate 100 successively, form groove 101.
Described groove 101 is filled polysilicon layer in subsequent technique, form the grid of groove MOS.
The formation step of described groove 101 is: form photoresist figure (not shown) on 120 surfaces, described barrier layer, described photoresist graphical definition goes out follow-up groove to be formed 101; With described photoresist figure is mask, the using plasma etching technics, and the described barrier layer 120 of etching, described cushion oxide layer 110 and described Semiconductor substrate 100 form groove 101 successively.
Please refer to Fig. 5, at the bottom and the sidewall formation grid oxic horizon 130 of described groove 101.
The formation technology of described grid oxic horizon 130 is thermal oxidation, and thermal oxidation technology is carried out in the bottom of described groove 101 and the silicon substrate of sidewall, forms grid oxic horizon 130.
Please refer to Fig. 6, form polysilicon layer 140 on 120 surfaces, described barrier layer and grid oxic horizon 130, and described polysilicon layer 140 is filled full described groove 101.
It is depositing operation that described polysilicon layer 140 forms technology, for example is chemical vapour deposition (CVD).
Described polysilicon layer 140 forms grid behind subsequent chemical-mechanical polishing and plasma etching.
Please refer to Fig. 7, the described polysilicon layer 140 of planarization is until exposing described barrier layer 120.
Described flatening process is a CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) process, described CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) process is planarized to described barrier layer 120 and stops, need to prove, owing to the limitation of flatening process, polysilicon layer 140 patterns bad and described barrier layer 120 damages after described CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) process still can exist polysilicon layer 140 to be thrown, to polish by crossing.
But, because described barrier layer 120 has the thickness of 400 to 1000 dusts, cross the polysilicon layer of throwing 140 and at most only can cross throwing in the thickness of 300-500 dust, and the polysilicon layer 140 of follow-up 400 to 1000 dust thickness can be removed, thereby can not influence the quality of the groove MOS of formation; In addition, polysilicon layer 140 patterns after the polishing rise and fall and also have only the difference in height of 300-500 dust at most, and in before analysis as can be known, the polysilicon layer 140 of follow-up 400 to 1000 dust thickness can be removed, and can not influence the quality of the groove MOS of formation; Also can be removed at subsequent technique as for impaired barrier layer 120, can not influence the quality of the groove MOS of formation equally.
Please refer to Fig. 8, is mask with described barrier layer 120, the using plasma etching technics, and the described polysilicon layer 140 of etching flushes with described cushion oxide layer 110 until described polysilicon layer 140.
Plasma etch process in the employing is a mask with described barrier layer 120, and the described polysilicon layer 140 of etching flushes with described cushion oxide layer 110 until described polysilicon layer 140.
Need to prove, in this step, need to remove the polysilicon layer 140 of 400 to 1000 dust thickness, because in subrange (in the width range of opening), adopt corresponding etching technics parameter, plasma etch process can obtain better planarization effect than CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) process, even the 140 surface topography big rise and falls of described polysilicon layer still can make described polysilicon layer 140 flush with described cushion oxide layer 110.
Further, the present inventor is through a large amount of experiment contrasts, if find directly to adopt the described polysilicon layer 140 of chemico-mechanical polishing planarization, described polysilicon layer 140 is 300 to 500 dusts with described cushion oxide layer 110 differences in height after the planarization; And the described polysilicon layer 140 of using plasma etching technics etching, the polysilicon layer 140 after the etching and the difference in height of described cushion oxide layer 110 are less than 300 dusts, meet the requirement of groove MOS, can think that the described polysilicon layer 140 after the plasma etch process etching flushes with described cushion oxide layer 110.
Polysilicon layer 140 surface topographies that adopt present embodiment technology to form rise and fall little, pattern quality height.
Please refer to Fig. 9, remove described barrier layer 120.
