Background technology
Make very lagre scale integrated circuit (VLSIC) in the Self-Aligned Refractory silicide process, most active areas are covered by low-resistance refractory metal silicide.But the zone that has; For example high resistance polysilicon can not have refractory metal silicide with the isolation active area; These zones need barrier layer protected in silicide process, need earlier in this section the zone form blocking layer of metal silicide (salicide block layer, SAB); The characteristic of utilizing blocking layer of metal silicide can not react with metals such as titanium or cobalts is to prevent forming metal silicide in the subregion.
In the very lagre scale integrated circuit (VLSIC) manufacturing process, refractory metal such as titanium, cobalt, nickel often are used as the generation silicide.Simultaneously, silicon dioxide and silylation layer are widely used in the barrier layer.The formation method of prior art blocking layer of metal silicide may further comprise the steps: shown in Fig. 1 a; One substrate 100 is provided; Have isolation structure 101 in the said substrate 100 and be used to isolate adjacent device cell; Said isolation structure 101 both sides are respectively first grid structure 102 and second grid structure 103, have lightly-doped source in the substrate of said first grid structure 102 both sides and leak injection region 104; The side wall 1033 that the side wall 1023 that said first grid structure 102 comprises grid oxic horizon 1021, is positioned at the polysilicon gate 1022 on the grid oxic horizon 1021 and is positioned at the polysilicon gate both sides, second grid structure 103 comprise grid oxic horizon 1031, are positioned at the polysilicon gate 1032 on the grid oxic horizon 1031 and are positioned at the polysilicon gate both sides; Shown in Fig. 1 b, deposition one silicon dioxide layer 105 on substrate 100, the step of said deposition of silica layer 105 adopts N2O and SiH4 as reacting gas, and the volume ratio of said N2O and SiH4 is 15: 1; Shown in Fig. 1 c, ion is carried out in first grid structure 102 both sides inject, form heavy-doped source and leak injection region 106, and carry out rapid thermal treatment; Shown in Fig. 1 d, deposit a silylation layer 107; Shown in Fig. 1 e, apply photoresist 108, photoetching forms the first window 108a, and the heavy-doped source that exposes said first grid structure 102 and both sides thereof in the said first window 108a leaks injection region 106; Shown in Fig. 1 f, dry etching is removed the silylation layer 107 in the first window 108a; Shown in Fig. 1 g, wet etching is removed the silica 1 05 in the first window 108a, shown in Fig. 1 h, removes photoresist 108, forms the blocking layer of metal silicide structure of being made up of silicon dioxide layer 105 and silylation layer 107.
There is high-frequency ac voltage in silicon dioxide in the blocking layer of metal silicide in the reaction chamber in the plasma etch process of dry etching, minority carrier generation speed does not catch up with change in voltage in the substrate, and device is in dark spent condition.Shown in Fig. 1 i; With PMOS is example, and the ultraviolet ray excited electron-hole pair of plasma generation injects to grid oxic horizon under AC field, finally makes the hole be captured in the grid oxic horizon; Thereby cause the PMOS threshold voltage to become big, and threshold voltage is inhomogeneous.
