Specific implementation mode
As stated in the background art, the prior art be formed by mask side wall pattern it is bad, cause with the mask side wall It is bad to etch the pattern layer to be etched for being formed by semiconductor structure.
By research, please refer to Fig.1 to Fig. 4, the sacrificial layer 101 is formed by photoetching process, specifically, the sacrificial layer 101 formation process includes:Expendable film is formed on 100 surface layer to be etched;Bottom antireflection is formed in the sacrifice film surface Layer;Photoresist layer is formed on the bottom layer anti-reflection layer surface, the photoresist layer defines pair for needing to form sacrificial layer 101 Answer position;Using the photoresist layer as mask, bottom layer anti-reflection layer and expendable film are etched, is up to exposing layer to be etched 100 Only, sacrificial layer 101 is formed.
The bottom layer anti-reflection layer can avoid the sacrificial layer 101 during being subsequently etched back to mask layer 103 Pattern changes, moreover, the bottom layer anti-reflection layer during being etched back to while can be removed.However, please referring to Fig. 5, if the bottom layer anti-reflection layer is removed during being etched back to, so that being etched back to the etch thicknesses of technique more Greatly, the height for being formed by mask side wall 103a can be caused relatively low, make the mask side wall 103a be insufficient as etching it is to be etched The mask of layer 100 is lost, the mask side wall 103a is easy to be removed during etching layer to be etched 100, or causes to etch The opening pattern of formation is bad.
If however, removing the bottom layer anti-reflection layer before forming mask layer 103, then the bottom anti-reflective is removed Penetrating the technique of layer can cause to damage to the pattern of the sacrificial layer 101.Specifically, referring to FIG. 6, being removed with dry etch process The top dimension of the anti-reflecting layer, the sacrificial layer 101 reduces, and the side wall of the sacrificial layer 101 is relative to layer to be etched 100 Surface tilt.Then cause it is subsequently bad in the formed mask side wall pattern of the sidewall surfaces of the sacrificial layer 101, after influencing Continuous etching layer to be etched 100 is formed by semiconductor structure pattern.

To make the above purposes, features and advantages of the invention more obvious and understandable, below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to the present invention Specific embodiment be described in detail.
Fig. 7 to Figure 13 is the cross-sectional view of the forming process of the semiconductor structure of the embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 7, providing layer to be etched 200,200 surface layer to be etched has expendable film 201.
In the present embodiment, 200 surface layer to be etched forms dual autoregistration figure in the subsequent process, and with institute's shape At dual autoregistration figure be mask, etching described layer to be etched 200, with formed needed for semiconductor structure.It is described to be etched It includes one or more in polysilicon, metal material, dielectric material to lose the material of layer 200.Wherein, the metal material includes Copper, tungsten or aluminium, the dielectric material include silica, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride or amorphous carbon.

The material of the expendable film 201 is amorphous carbon, bottom layer anti-reflection layer material or silicon nitride, and the expendable film 201 material is different from the material for the mask side wall being subsequently formed, thus in subsequently removal sacrificial layer, to the damage of mask side wall Wound is smaller.Moreover, the material of the expendable film 201 is to be easily removed and be not likely to produce remaining material, ensure removing with this After sacrificial layer, layer to be etched 200 and mask side wall clean surface.
In the present embodiment, the material of the expendable film 201 is amorphous carbon, and the technique for forming the expendable film 201 is Chemical vapor deposition method or physical gas-phase deposition, and the technological temperature for forming the expendable film 201 be 0 degree Celsius~ 200 degrees Celsius.Since the temperature for forming expendable film 201 is relatively low, during forming expendable film 201, to be etched The damage for losing layer 200 is less, to ensure that the performance of the semiconductor structure formed with layer to be etched 200 is stablized.
In one embodiment, also there is buffer layer, the expendable film to be formed in the buffer layer on the surface layer to be etched Surface.The buffer layer can avoid layer to be etched be etched from subtracting when being subsequently formed mask side wall and removal sacrificial layer It is thin.When subsequently layer to be etched with mask side wall etching, so that the opening depth that etching is formed is easy to control, avoid that quarter occurred Erosion, etching is incomplete or is formed in the problems such as opening depth of mask side wall both sides is inconsistent.The material of the buffer layer is with after Continuous mask side wall or expendable film are different, such as polysilicon, and buffer layer is made relative to expendable film or mask side wall to there is etching to select The formation process of selecting property, the buffer layer is physical vaporous deposition technique after chemical vapor deposition method.
Referring to FIG. 8, forming isolation film 202 on 201 surface of the expendable film.
The bottom layer anti-reflection layer and photoresist layer that the isolation film 202 is used to expendable film 201 be isolated be subsequently formed, after It is continuous bottom layer anti-reflection layer to be made to be removed from sacrificial layer top surface, while will not be to sacrificial layer by removing isolation film 202 Pattern at damage, is being conducive to that subsequent etching layer to be etched 200 is made to be formed by semiconductor structure performance and stable appearance.
The material of the isolation film 202 is germanium oxide, and the germanium oxide can be removed with water, and water is for most of materials Do not have etching power.In the present embodiment, the processing amorphous carbon of the expendable film 201, water do not have amorphous carbon There is etching power, therefore subsequently the surface of sacrificial layer will not be caused to damage, make sacrificial layer after removing isolation film 202 Accurate size, stable structure.
In the present embodiment, the formation process of the isolation film 202 is atom layer deposition process, hot stove oxidation technology or chemistry The thickness of gas-phase deposition, the separation layer 202 is 10 angstroms~1000 angstroms.Moreover, the temperature for forming the isolation film 202 is 10 degrees Celsius~400 degrees Celsius, since the temperature for forming the isolation film 202 is relatively low, forming the isolation film 202 In the process, it is not easy that the layer to be etched 200 chemically or physically properties made is made to change, and is not easy to described layer to be etched 200 It causes to damage.Semiconductor structure performance therefore, it is possible to subsequently be formed with 200 etching layer to be etched is stablized.
Referring to FIG. 9, forming bottom layer anti-reflection layer 203 on 202 surface of the isolation film and being located at bottom layer anti-reflection layer The photoresist layer 204 on 203 surfaces, the photoresist layer 204 expose 203 surface of part bottom layer anti-reflection layer.
The photoresist layer 204 defines the corresponding position and structure for the sacrificial layer being subsequently formed.However, due to existing The limitation of photoetching process accuracy can not make photoresist layer in the case where ensureing to be formed by 204 accurate size of photoresist layer 204 size further reduces, therefore causes to limit to the size reduction of semiconductor structure, be unfavorable for semiconductor devices into one Step is integrated.In the present embodiment, the technique for forming subsequent mask side wall is self-aligned double patterning shape technique, can be precisely formed In the regional extent of single photoresist layer, two accurate in size mask side walls are formed, are etched with the mask side wall layer to be etched 200, the size reduction and accurate size that are formed by semiconductor structure can be made.
Formed the photoresist layer 204 technique be photoetching process, in order to avoid in exposure process on 202 surface of isolation film It reflects, bottom layer anti-reflection layer 203 is formed between the isolation film 202 and photoresist layer 204.The photoresist layer 204 Forming method with bottom layer anti-reflection layer includes:Bottom layer anti-reflection layer 203 is deposited on 202 surface of isolation film;In bottom antireflection 203 surface spin coating photoresist film of layer;Keep the photoresist film graphical using exposure technology, to form photoresist layer 204.
In the present embodiment, the material of the bottom layer anti-reflection layer 203 is the organic material of carbon containing oxygen element, forms the bottom The technique of layer anti-reflecting layer is physical gas-phase deposition or chemical vapor deposition method, and forms the bottom layer anti-reflection layer 203 technological temperature is 0 degree Celsius~200 degrees Celsius.Wherein, the temperature for forming the bottom layer anti-reflection layer 203 is relatively low, therefore It can avoid damaging to layer to be etched 200.
Referring to FIG. 10, being mask with the photoresist layer 204, the bottom layer anti-reflection layer 203 is etched(Such as Fig. 9 institutes Show), isolation film 202(As shown in Figure 9)With expendable film 201(As shown in Figure 9), until exposing 200 surface layer to be etched, Form bottom layer anti-reflection layer 203a, separation layer 202a and sacrificial layer 201a.
The etching technics is anisotropic dry etch process, and etching gas is with perpendicular to 200 surface layer to be etched Direction perform etching, the surface for being formed by sacrificial layer 201a side walls relative to layer to be etched 200 is vertical.The sacrificial layer The figure of 201a is consistent with the figure of photoresist layer 204, therefore the size of the sacrificial layer 201a is by photoetching process accuracy Limitation.
In the present embodiment, the material of the expendable film 201 is amorphous carbon, the anisotropic dry etch process ginseng Number includes:Etching gas includes ammonia, hydrogen and argon gas, and power is 800 watts~1000 watts, and air pressure is the millitorr of 80 millitorrs~120, Wherein, the flow of ammonia be 200 standard milliliters/minute~300 standard milliliters/minute, hydrogen be 300 standard milliliters/minute~ 500 standard milliliters/minute, argon gas are 0 standard milliliters/minute~300 standard milliliters/minute.
1 is please referred to Fig.1, the separation layer 202a is removed(As shown in Figure 10), make the bottom layer anti-reflection layer 203a(Such as figure Shown in 10)It is removed from the top surface of sacrificial layer 201a.
In the present embodiment, after forming sacrificial layer 201a, directly remove separation layer 202a, make photoresist layer 204 with Bottom layer anti-reflection layer 203a is removed from the top surface of sacrificial layer 201a together, and technique is made to simplify.In one embodiment, it is removing Before separation layer 202a, photoresist layer 204 is removed using cineration technics or wet clean process(As shown in Figure 10).
In the present embodiment, the material of the separation layer 202a is germanium oxide, and the technique for removing the separation layer 202a is wet Method etching technics, etching liquid are deionized water or the chemical solution containing deionized water.Wherein, germanium oxide can pass through deionization Water removes, and deionized water will not etching sacrificial layer 201a or layer to be etched 200, therefore will not be to sacrificial layer 201a or to be etched Layer 200 causes to damage.Even deionized water does not have etching for most of semi-conducting materials, dielectric material or metal material Ability.
Due to removing separation layer 202a by deionized water, the pattern of the sacrificial layer 201a will not be damaged, The size and structure for enabling the sacrificial layer 201a keep accurate, can ensure to be subsequently formed in sacrificial layer 201a sidewall surfaces Mask side wall pattern is good.
In the present embodiment, the temperature of the wet-etching technology is 0 degree Celsius~100 degrees Celsius, the wet etching The temperature of technique is relatively low, will not to layer to be etched 200 physically or chemically or pattern damages, while will not make The pattern of sacrificial layer 201a changes.
2 are please referred to Fig.1, after removing the separation layer 202a, layer to be etched 200 in the both sides the sacrificial layer 201a The sidewall surfaces of surface and sacrificial layer 201a form mask side wall 205.
Mask of the mask side wall 205 as subsequent etching layer to be etched 200.The formation work of the mask side wall 205 Skill is:Mask film is formed in sacrificial layer 201a and 200 surface of substrate;The mask film is etched back to until exposing to be etched Until the top surface of 200 surface of layer and sacrificial layer 201a, mask side wall 205 is formed.
Wherein, formed mask film technique be chemical vapor deposition method or physical deposition process, it is described to be etched back to work Skill is anisotropic dry etch process.The width for the being parallel to 200 surface direction layer to be etched i.e. institute of the mask side wall 205 The thickness of mask film is stated, therefore the width for being parallel to 200 surface direction layer to be etched of the mask side wall 205 is covered by being formed The depositing operation of film film determines.Since the size of the mask side wall 205 is not necessarily to be limited by photoetching process accuracy, and And since the mask film thickness that depositing operation is formed can be smaller, the size for being formed by mask side wall 205 can be made It reduces, the size for being subsequently formed by semiconductor structure for mask etching layer to be etched 200 with the mask side wall 205 is also corresponding It reduces.The mask side wall 205 is formed in the sidewall surfaces of sacrificial layer 201a, i.e., the described mask by depositing and being etched back to technique Side wall 205 is self-aligned double patterning shape structure.
In the present embodiment, the material of the mask side wall 205 is silica, the thickness of the mask film is 10 nanometers~ 50 nanometers, formed the mask film technique be chemical vapor deposition method, atom layer deposition process or hot stove oxidation technology, And the temperature for forming the mask film is 25 degrees Celsius~300 degrees Celsius.Due to the mask film formation temperature compared with It is low therefore smaller to layer to be etched 200 damage, it can ensure the semiconductor structure performance formed with 200 etching layer to be etched Stablize.Moreover, because the formation temperature of the mask film is relatively low, keep the synthesis speed of the mask film slower, then institute's shape At mask film thickness it is more easy to control, keep the size for being formed by mask side wall 205 more accurate.
In addition, the technique for being etched back to mask film is anisotropic dry etch process, etching gas includes CHF3、 CF4、O2、Ar.Since the etching direction of the dry etch process is perpendicular to 200 surface layer to be etched, sacrifice can be removed The mask film of layer 201a top surfaces and 200 surface layer to be etched, while retaining positioned at the part of 201 sidewall surfaces of sacrificial layer Mask film, to form mask side wall 205.
Moreover, the technique that is etched back to needs to expose the surface of sacrificial layer 201a, due to the direct shape of mask film At in the top surface of sacrificial layer 201a, therefore the thickness of the i.e. described mask film of the etch thicknesses for being etched back to technique, because This is formed by the highly consistent of the height of mask side wall 205 and sacrificial layer 201a, and the mask side wall 205 is enough as etching Layer to be etched 200 mask, and be not easy during etching layer to be etched 200 while being removed, advantageously ensure that etching waits for Etch layer 200 is formed by the accurate size of semiconductor structure, stable appearance.
3 are please referred to Fig.1, after forming mask side wall 205, removes the sacrificial layer 201a(As shown in figure 12);With institute The pseudo- mask of mask side wall 205 is stated, etching described layer to be etched 200 forms opening 206 in described layer to be etched 200.
The technique for removing the sacrificial layer 201a is dry etch process or wet-etching technology, it is preferred that wet etching The etch rate of technique, the wet-etching technology is fast, and selectivity is preferably, to layer to be etched 200 or mask side wall 205 The damage on surface is smaller.In the present embodiment, the material of the sacrificial layer 201a is amorphous carbon, and the amorphous carbon can also It is removed with cineration technics, the gas of cineration technics is oxygen, and the cineration technics is smaller to the damage of mask side wall 205.
It is anisotropic dry etch process to etch layer to be etched 200 technique, and etching direction is perpendicular to be etched 200 surface of layer is lost, the figure for being formed by 206 top of opening is parallel to 200 surface direction layer to be etched by mask side wall 202a Figure determine.The etching technics is depending on layer to be etched 200 material and the opening depth of required formation.
