Embodiment
The yield of the phase transition storage that existing method is made is low.Through inventor, study discovery, the low reason of yield that causes existing phase transition storage is owing to having pollutant film or a natural oxidizing layer between phase change layer and the bottom electrode of below, thereby described phase change layer is easy and the bottom electrode of below disconnects (open), has affected the yield of phase transition storage.
Particularly, incorporated by reference to Fig. 3, after the interior formation opening of described the 3rd dielectric layer 107, described the second bottom electrode 105 exposes, described the second bottom electrode 105 is owing to being exposed in air, and therefore described the second bottom electrode 105 easily oxidation occurs and forms natural oxidizing layer.And come from the particle in clean room, the pollution that the pollutant such as water and organic substance and inorganic matter can make the second bottom electrode 105 that described opening exposes and part second medium layer 104 surface be subject to described pollutant, described pollutant can form pollutant film at described the second bottom electrode 105 and part second medium layer 104 surface, between the phase change layer that this pollutant film can affect follow-up formation and described the second bottom electrode 105, be electrically connected to disconnection, make described phase change layer cannot accept the phase change current from the second bottom electrode 105, thereby phase change layer cannot carry out phase transformation operation.
Therefore, need to remove described pollutant film, inventor considers to utilize the technique of plasma etching to remove described pollutant.When carrying out plasma etch process, the surface of the part second medium layer 104 that described in a large amount of plasma bombardments, the surface of the 3rd dielectric layer 107, described opening expose and the surface of the second bottom electrode 105, thereby the pollutant film on described second medium layer 104 surface and the second bottom electrode 105 surfaces is removed, make the comparatively cleaning of surface of described second medium layer 104 surface and the second bottom electrode 105, be conducive to improve the reliability being electrically connected between phase change layer and the second bottom electrode 105.
But when carrying out the technique of described plasma etching, a large amount of electrons that produce in plasma etching industrial process are gathered in the surface of described the second bottom electrode 105 and interconnection line 106.Due in order to reduce the required electric current of phase change layer phase transformation, need to reduce the contact area between phase change layer and described the second bottom electrode 105, the area of described the second bottom electrode 105 is conventionally very little.And in order to reduce the resistance of interconnection structure, the area of described interconnection line 106 is conventionally larger, this makes the area of described the second bottom electrode 105 be far smaller than the area of described interconnection line 106, thereby the number of the electronics of the surface distributed of described the second bottom electrode 105 is far less than the number of the electronics of described interconnection line 106 surface distributed, this makes to produce between described the second bottom electrode 105 and interconnection line 106 surfaces the difference of number of electrons, the number of the electronics on the second bottom electrode 105 surfaces is far smaller than the number of the electronics on interconnection line 106 surfaces, thereby produce electrical potential difference between described the second bottom electrode 105 and described interconnection line 106, this electrical potential difference make described electronics from more interconnection line 106 surfaces of number towards the second less bottom electrode 105 apparent motions of number of electrons, until described the second bottom electrode 105 is zero with the surface potential difference of described interconnection line 106.At described electronics from the more interconnection line 106 of number during towards described the second bottom electrode 105 apparent motion, can be through described Semiconductor substrate 100, conductive plunger 103, at the interior formation electric current of described Semiconductor substrate 100, the process of above-mentioned electron motion is called discharge process (arcing).Electric current through described Semiconductor substrate in this discharge process will damage or burn out the interior transistor of described Semiconductor substrate 100, and this cannot work described transistor, thereby has affected the yield of phase transition storage.
In order to solve above-mentioned topic, the present invention proposes a kind of manufacture method of phase transition storage.Incorporated by reference to the manufacture method schematic flow sheet of the phase transition storage of the present invention shown in Fig. 5, described method comprises:
Step S1, Semiconductor substrate is provided, in described Semiconductor substrate, is formed with interlayer dielectric layer, in described interlayer dielectric layer, be formed with interconnection structure and bottom electrode, described interconnection structure flushes with described interlayer dielectric layer, and described bottom electrode top is coated with the described interlayer dielectric layer of part;
