Abstract
本发明提出了一种提高TMBS良率的工艺方法,栅极形成之后,在栅极的表面依次形成第一阻挡介质层、第二阻挡介质层和层间介质层,因此刻蚀去除较厚的层间介质层时,由第一阻挡介质层和第二阻挡介质层保护,不会对栅介质层造成损伤,再依次刻蚀去除第二阻挡介质层和第一阻挡介质层时,由于第一阻挡介质层较薄,一方面形成第一阻挡介质层的均匀性差异较小,另一方面刻蚀时间得以大大缩短,避免了沟槽侧壁栅介质层过刻蚀或介质层残留的问题。形成较薄的第一阻挡介质层能够降低对设备机台要求,同时减少了沟槽侧壁栅介质层的损伤,增大工艺窗口,能够提高TMBS的良率。
Description
技术领域
本发明涉及半导体制造领域,尤其涉及一种提高TMBS良率的工艺方法。
背景技术
势垒肖特基二极管(Trench Mos Barrier Schottky,TMBS),又称为金属-半导体二极管,是近年来间世的低功耗、大电流、超高速半导体器件。TMBS用某些金属和半导体相接触,在它们的交界面处便会形成一个势垒区(通常称为“表面势垒”或“肖特基势垒”),产生整流、检波作用。由于肖特基二极管中少数载流子的存贮效应甚微,所以其频率响应仅被RC时间常数限制,因而,它是高频和快速开关的理想器件。
请参考图1至图5,图1至图5为现有技术中TMBS制作过程中形成栅介质层和栅极的剖面示意图。形成栅介质层和栅极的步骤包括:
S1:提供半导体衬底10,所述半导体衬底10可以为硅衬底;
S2:在所述半导体衬底10上形成硬掩模层20;
S3:依次刻蚀所述硬掩模层20和半导体衬底10,在所述半导体衬底10内形成多个沟槽(Trench)11,如图1所示;
S4:在所述沟槽11的侧壁表面形成栅介质层30,其中,形成栅介质层30的步骤包括:先在所述沟槽11的侧壁表面形成牺牲氧化层(图未示出),接着对所述牺牲氧化层进行氢氟酸清洗(HF Dip),去除所述牺牲氧化层,接着再形成栅介质层30,如图2所示;
S5:在所述沟槽11内、所述栅介质层30以及硬掩模层20的表面上形成栅极层,接着对栅极层进行刻蚀形成栅极40,刻蚀暴露出硬掩模层20并且使所述栅极40与所述栅介质层30顶部保持相同高度,如图3所示;
S6:在所述硬掩膜层20、栅介质层30以及栅极40的表面形成层间介质层50,并且对层间介质层50进行致密化处理(Densify),如图4所示;
S7:依次刻蚀所述层间介质层50和硬掩模层20,形成通孔连线区,所述通孔连线区暴露出所述栅极40以及部分半导体衬底10,以方便后续形成通孔连线,如图5所示。
在步骤S7中,采用的是干法刻蚀依次刻蚀层间介质层50和硬掩模层20,干法刻蚀即采用刻蚀气体的等离子体(Plasma)进行刻蚀。然而,常规的Plasma刻蚀在刻蚀表面的10000埃的介质层时需要刻蚀180s,由于设备机台反应腔室中的Plasma分布不均匀,位于反应腔室中心区域的Plasma浓度高于位于边缘区域的浓度,因此,导致Plasma在刻蚀中心区域介质层的速率高于刻蚀边缘区域介质层的速率,这就造成Plasma刻蚀介质层时每分钟有200埃左右的均匀性差异,那么180s的刻蚀将会造成至少600埃均匀性的偏差。
通常情况下,形成的层间介质层50较厚,通常为10000埃,由于设备机台的限制,导致形成如此厚的层间介质层50本身就存在一定的均匀性问题,生长10000埃的层间介质层50会有800埃的均匀性偏差,加上刻蚀带来的600埃的偏差,这样累计后将会有1400埃的均匀性偏差。这也就是说,在在步骤S7中刻蚀去除层间介质层50和硬掩模层20后,半导体衬底10上要么会存在1400埃的介质层的残留,要么一部分介质层被过刻蚀1400埃。请参考图5,为了完全刻蚀通孔区域的层间介质层50和硬掩模层20,采用了过刻蚀法,即延长刻蚀时间,然而,却对沟槽11侧壁的栅介质层30过刻蚀,如图5中虚线圈所示。
而沟槽11侧壁的栅介质层30不允许超过1200埃的过刻,否则会影响器件的良率;若减少刻蚀量,会存在介质层的残留,同样会影响良率。
发明内容
本发明的目的在于提供一种提高TMBS良率的工艺方法,能够解决沟槽侧壁栅介质层过刻蚀或介质层残留的问题,提高TMBS的良率。

进一步的,所述栅介质层的材质为氧化硅,采用热氧化法形成。
进一步的,在所述沟槽内形成栅极的步骤包括:

进一步的,所述层间介质层的厚度范围是3000埃~5000埃。
进一步的,采用湿法刻蚀对所述层间介质层进行刻蚀。
与现有技术相比,本发明的有益效果主要体现在:栅极形成之后,在栅极的表面依次形成第一阻挡介质层、第二阻挡介质层和层间介质层,因此刻蚀去除较厚的层间介质层时,由第一阻挡介质层和第二阻挡介质层保护,不会对栅介质层造成损伤,再依次刻蚀去除第二阻挡介质层和第一阻挡介质层时,由于第一阻挡介质层较薄,一方面形成第一阻挡介质层的均匀性差异较小,另一方面刻蚀时间得以大大缩短,避免了沟槽侧壁栅介质层过刻蚀或介质层残留的问题。形成较薄的第一阻挡介质层能够降低对设备机台要求,同时减少了沟槽侧壁栅介质层的损伤,增大工艺窗口,能够提高TMBS的良率。

使用酸液清洗去除所述牺牲介质层,在本实施例中,所述酸液为氢氟酸;
在所述半导体衬底100的表面及沟槽110内表面均形成栅介质层300,如图8所示,所述栅介质层300的材质为氧化硅,采用热氧化法形成。
形成牺牲氧化层后,接着去除牺牲氧化层,最后再形成栅介质层300的目的是,采用此种方式能够对沟槽110的侧壁以及底部进行缺陷修复,便于更好的形成栅介质层300,得到可靠性较高的栅介质层300。
在步骤S300中,在所述沟槽110内形成栅极400的步骤包括:
在所述栅介质层300的表面形成栅极层;
刻蚀所述栅极层,形成栅极400,如图9所示,刻蚀暴露出所述沟槽110的顶部,确保所述栅极400位于所述沟槽110内,并且与所述沟槽110的顶部高度一致。
在步骤S400中,先采用热氧化法在所述栅极400的表面形成第一阻挡介质层510,所述第一阻挡介质层510的材质为氧化硅,其厚度范围是500埃~1000埃,例如是800埃;然后再采用化学气相沉积在所述第一阻挡介质层510和部分栅介质层300的表面形成第二阻挡介质层520,所述第二阻挡介质层520的材质为氮化硅,其厚度范围是500埃~700埃,例如是600埃;然后在所述第二阻挡介质层520的表面采用化学气相沉积形成层间介质层600,如图10所示,所述层间介质层600的材质为氧化硅,其厚度范围是3000埃~5000埃,例如是4000埃,在形成层间介质层600后,再对其进行致密化处理。
由于所述栅极400上有第一阻挡介质层510和第二阻挡介质层520保护,因此,所述层间介质层600无需生长过厚,这也有利于提高其表面的均匀性,降低均匀性差异。接着,在步骤S500中,先在所述层间介质层600的表面涂覆图案化的光阻,再以所述图案化的光阻为掩模,采用湿法刻蚀对所述层间介质层600进行刻蚀,形成通孔区域700,如图11所示。同样的,所述第二阻挡介质层520能够作为层间介质层600的刻蚀阻挡层。
在去除通孔区域700的层间介质层600之后,再采用干法刻蚀去除所述第二阻挡介质层520,如图12所示,同样的,所述第一阻挡介质层510可以作为刻蚀阻挡层,保护所述栅极400。
在去除通孔区域700的第二阻挡介质层520之后,再使用干法刻蚀去除位于栅极400表面的第一阻挡介质层510以及位于半导体衬底100表面的部分栅介质层300,如图13所示,由于所述第一阻挡介质层510和栅介质层300的材质均为氧化硅,因此可以同时去除,并且,由于第一阻挡介质层510的厚度不足1000埃,刻蚀时间大大缩短,并且其均匀性差异较小,这样刻蚀较为均匀,能够减少对位于沟槽110侧壁处的栅介质层300(如图13中虚线框所示)造成的损伤,同时也可以避免刻蚀不足导致位于半导体衬底100表面的介质层存在残留的现象,因而能够提高形成的TMBS器件的良率。
综上,在本发明实施例提供的提高TMBS良率的工艺方法中,栅极形成之后,在栅极的表面依次形成第一阻挡介质层、第二阻挡介质层和层间介质层,因此刻蚀去除较厚的层间介质层时,由第一阻挡介质层和第二阻挡介质层保护,不会对栅介质层造成损伤,再依次刻蚀去除第二阻挡介质层和第一阻挡介质层时,由于第一阻挡介质层较薄,一方面形成第一阻挡介质层的均匀性差异较小,另一方面刻蚀时间得以大大缩短,避免了沟槽侧壁栅介质层过刻蚀或介质层残留的问题。形成较薄的第一阻挡介质层能够降低对设备机台要求,同时减少了沟槽侧壁栅介质层的损伤,增大工艺窗口,能够提高TMBS的良率。
