Recess etch method and method, semi-conductor device manufacturing method
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of semiconductor manufacture, it is more particularly related to a kind of recess etch method, Yi Jiqi
In the method, semi-conductor device manufacturing method of groove is manufactured by the recess etch method.
Background technology
Etching technics is the technique commonly used in fabrication of semiconductor device.In the manufacturing process of semiconductor integrated circuit
In, etching is exactly the process for selectively removing unwanted material from silicon chip surface using chemically or physically method.From work
Distinguished in skill, etching can be divided into wet etching and dry etching.Wherein, the isotropism that is mainly characterized by of wet etching is carved
Erosion;Dry etching is to carry out anisotropic etching using plasma, strictly vertical and horizontal can be controlled to etch.
For power device, the groove in etched features(Particular without the groove for being not filled with tungsten plug)When, sometimes
It can it is expected that the corner contours on the top of groove are formed as circular shape, as shown in Figure 3.
Therefore, in order to form the groove that the corner contours on top are formed as circular shape, in the recess etch side of prior art
In method, as shown in figure 1, first, forming n-type doping layer 2 on substrate 1, silicon dioxide layer 3 is formed in n-type doping layer 2,
Tetraethyl orthosilicate is formed in silicon dioxide layer 3(TEOS)Layer 4, boron-phosphorosilicate glass is formed on teos layer 4(boro-
Phospho-silicate-glass, BPSG)Layer 5.Hereafter, photoresist PR1 is coated in borophosphosilicate glass layer 5, and forms light
The photoresist PR1 pattern for being used to etch groove, resulting structure is as shown in Figure 1.
Hereafter, using figuratum photoresist execution plasma etching is formed, so that in borophosphosilicate glass layer 5, positive silicic acid
The pattern of the groove is formed in methacrylate layer 4 and silicon dioxide layer 3;Hereafter photoresist PR1, resulting structure such as Fig. 2 are removed
It is shown.
But, now, the corner contours on the top of the groove of formation are usually rectangular shaped(Such as Fig. 2)In reference number
Shown in CT1), without being formed as circular shape.Therefore, in order to form the groove that the corner contours on top are formed as circular shape,
It is follow-up also to perform boron-phosphorosilicate glass backflow(reflow)Step, thus could form the horn ring profile on top as shown in Figure 3
Groove as circular shape(As shown in the reference number CT2 in Fig. 3).
As can be seen that the foregoing corner contours in order to form top are formed as the prior art of the groove of circular shape
Recess etch method be cumbersome.Accordingly, it is desirable to be able to propose a kind of to form top in simplified method
Corner contours are formed as the groove of circular shape.

Embodiment
In order that present disclosure is more clear and understandable, with reference to specific embodiments and the drawings in the present invention
Appearance is described in detail.
Fig. 4 to Fig. 5 schematically shows recess etch method according to embodiments of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, recess etch method according to embodiments of the present invention includes:
N-type doping layer 2 is formed on substrate 1;
Silicon dioxide layer 3 is formed in n-type doping layer 2;
Teos layer 4 is formed in silicon dioxide layer 3;
Borophosphosilicate glass layer 5 is formed on teos layer 4;
Hereafter, on silicon chip(More specifically, in the present embodiment, it is on borophosphosilicate glass layer 5)Coat photoresist
PR2, and the photoresist PR2 pattern for being used to etch groove is formed, resulting structure is as shown in Figure 4.
In this step, unlike the prior art, in the prior art, photoresist PR1 thickness is h1, and at this
In inventive embodiments, photoresist PR2 thickness is h2.In the case of other process conditions identicals, photoresist PR2 thickness h 2
Thickness h 1 less than photoresist PR1, will be described in greater detail hereinafter the detail of photoresist thickness.
Hereafter, using figuratum photoresist PR2 execution plasma etching is formed, so that in borophosphosilicate glass layer 5, positive silicon
The pattern of the groove is formed in ethyl acetate layer 4 and silicon dioxide layer 3(As shown in the reference number CT3 in Fig. 5);Hereafter remove
Photoresist PR2, resulting structure is as shown in Figure 5.
More specifically, in the prior art, photoresist PR1 thickness h 1 causes during plasma etching, for
Region covered with photoresist PR1, plasma only enters photoresist PR1, and the layer of glue PR1 coverings is photo-etched without entering
In so that be not photo-etched glue PR1 covering region be etched away, and be photo-etched glue PR1 covering region be protected from by
Etching.
Unlike the prior art, the thickness h 2 for the photoresist PR2 that the recess etch method of the embodiment of the present invention is used
It is less than photoresist PR1 thickness h 1 in the case of other process conditions identicals, is selected according to the depth of recess etch and material
Photoresist PR2 thickness h 2, so that during plasma etching, even being photo-etched the region of glue PR2 coverings(Side
Edge point)Also it can be etched.
In other words, in recess etch method according to embodiments of the present invention, thickness h 2 to photoresist PR2 and wait from
The etching energy of son is controlled, and plasma is run out of the photoresist and is etched into below photoresist PR2
Silicon chip(It is borophosphosilicate glass layer 5 in the present embodiment)In, so that being photo-etched the region of glue PR2 coverings(Marginal portion)
Still etched by plasma.
Also, the characteristics of due to plasma etching photoetching glue residua, the photoresist in the region at groove pattern edge(Such as Fig. 4
In dotted ellipse frame shown in region)It is consumed earlier completely, hence in so that being easier to be carved at the recess edge of lower floor
Erosion, and the region for being photo-etched the remote groove of glue PR2 coverings is not readily susceptible to the etching of plasma, so as to effectively only lead to
Cross groove plasma etching step and be formed the corner contours on top and be formed as the groove of circular shape.
As shown in figure 5, by using recess etch method according to embodiments of the present invention, boron phosphorus silicon glass can not performed
Glass forms top corner contours in the case of flowing back are formed as the groove of circular shape, so as to simplify processing step, reduce
Process costs, and shorten the process time.
It should be noted that above-described embodiment is though it is shown that in borophosphosilicate glass layer 5, teos layer 4 and dioxy
The example of groove pattern is formed in SiClx layer 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto.In fact, forming recessed using photoetching agent pattern
The material and the number of plies of the layer of groove are not limited, but can form groove in any quantity and any suitable material.
In a specific example of the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the thickness of n-type doping layer 2 can be between 800-1500A
In the range of, the thickness of silicon dioxide layer 3 can be in the range of 50-200A, and the thickness of teos layer 4 can be between 2000-
In the range of 3000A, the thickness of borophosphosilicate glass layer 5 can be in the range of 2500-3500A, and photoresist PR2 thickness h 2 can
In the range of 3000-4000A;Correspondingly, the scope of plasma etching energy during plasma etching is 1500-1700W.
In above-mentioned specific example, by using above-mentioned thickness and energy range, the effect of the present invention can be best implemented with.Certainly,
Though it is shown that specific thickness and energy range, but the present invention is not limited to the thickness and energy range.
Fig. 6 shows the groove that the recess etch method according to embodiments of the present invention that actual test is obtained is made.Such as Fig. 6
It is shown, it should be apparent that the corner contours that the recess etch method of the embodiment of the present invention can be effectively formed top are formed
For the groove of circular shape.
