Make the method for zero layer photoetching mark of the high tension apparatus of unobstructed layer
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of semiconductor technology method, be specifically related to a kind of method of zero layer photoetching mark of the high pressure resistant device of making unobstructed layer.
Background technology
A kind of novel semiconductor device occurred in now semiconductor power is used, this semiconductor device can either improve puncture voltage can reduce again resistance under the conducting state.The PN post layer that it has alternative arrangement plays the effect of the super junction (super junction) as drift layer.
The method of etching and filling deep trench in the super junction MOS transistor manufacture process, at n+ type silicon substrate growth one deck n-type epitaxial loayer (monocrystalline silicon), then one or more layers oxide-film of deposit or nitride film on this epitaxial loayer, etching deep trench again, and carry out selective epitaxial with p-type monocrystalline silicon and fill this deep trench, use at last cmp (CMP) technique to carry out flattening surface.This deep groove structure is as the p-type semiconductor column at this moment, and the both sides of this deep groove structure have namely obtained p-type and the N-shaped semiconductor column of vertical alternative arrangement as the N-shaped semiconductor column.
In the said method in monocrystalline silicon selective epitaxial process, the etching gas that need to improve fillibility and introduce can cause lateral etching and the generation bottom otch of the monocrystalline substrate top oxide layer that exposes of deep trench both sides, silicon substrate in the otch exposes at this moment, can be filled by silicon epitaxy again subsequently.Because this part epitaxial loayer is present in the oxide-film lower surface, and silicon substrate formation one, horizontal direction is difficult to remove in planarization process along the dorsad part extension of groove.Remove technique at the subsequent oxidation film, be not removed if be filled in the epitaxial loayer of this part otch the inside, will form the silicon ridge in the both sides of groove, affect some electric property of device.
If carry out photoetching and the etching of deep trench with the method on barrier layer, can't guarantee that the silicon ridge can be removed, therefore can't use the assembly of one or more layers oxide layer or nitration case to be used as the barrier layer of etching.
Zero layer photoetching mark generally is to adopt first to expose, develops, and then produces through the method for over etching, and its surfacial pattern zone must the certain offset (step height) of maintenance, and this mark could work at mask aligner.And high pressure resistant device is owing to being directly to carry out deep plough groove etched and the formation figure at silicon substrate, and then fill deep trench with epitaxy technology, because the existence of unobstructed layer in zero layer cursor figure, can cause when filling deep trench, epitaxial loayer also can be filled in the figure of zero layer photoetching mark, and deep trench filler and silicon substrate all are monocrystalline, in follow-up cmp flow process, owing to causing offset too little without high selectivity, this photo-etching mark is beyond recognition, and causes can't using in the follow-up technique this zero layer pattern, for the aligning of subsequent film brings difficulty, affect the smooth and easy of technological process, and then can affect the yield of product.
As shown in Figure 1, zero layer photoetching mark is filled by epitaxial loayer (EPI), is beyond recognition.
