Formed with the interlayer dielectric layer 230 for surrounding tungsten grid structure 220 in Semiconductor substrate 210.Interlayer dielectric layer 230 can For silicon oxide layer, made using thermal chemical vapor deposition (thermal CVD) manufacturing process or high-density plasma (HDP) Make the material layer for having doped or undoped silica of technique formation, such as undoped silica glass (USG), phosphorosilicate glass Or boron-phosphorosilicate glass (BPSG) (PSG).In addition, interlayer dielectric layer 230 can also be the spin cloth of coating-type for adulterating boron or adulterating phosphorus Glass (spin-on-glass, SOG), the tetraethoxysilane (PTEOS) for adulterating phosphorus or the tetraethoxysilane for adulterating boron (BTEOS)。
In addition, the material of interlayer dielectric layer 230 can also include such as fluorocarbon (CF), carbon doped silicon oxide Or carbonitride of silicium (SiCN) etc. (SiOC).Or the film that SiCN films are formd on fluorocarbon (CF) can also be used Deng.Fluorocarbon is with fluorine (F) and carbon (C) for main component.Fluorocarbon can also be used with noncrystal (noncrystalline Property) construction material.Interlayer dielectric layer can also use the Porous such as carbon doped silicon oxide (SiOC) to construct.
Tungsten grid structure 220 is, for example, to make what is formed using following technique.Specifically, can be first in Semiconductor substrate Dummy grid is formed on 210, the dummy grid can include such as polysilicon;Then regions and source/drain is formed in substrate 210, Regions and source/drain can be formed in any manner known in the art;Afterwards, interlayer is formed on Semiconductor substrate 210 Dielectric layer 230, and interlayer dielectric layer 230 is planarized, to expose dummy grid;Then, dummy grid is removed, the dummy grid can be with Removed for example, by the mode of etching, so as to form recess among interlayer dielectric layer 230;Finally, tungsten grid are formed in recess Pole structure.
Perform step S120:A part for tungsten grid structure is etched back to, to form groove in the top of tungsten grid structure.
As shown in Figure 2 B, for example reactive plasma etching industrial of use is by the top etch of tungsten grid structure, so as to The top of tungsten grid structure forms groove 240.Etching gas selected by the step can be mainly for tungsten, due to work content Several layers 223 relatively thin, can be consumed substantially during being etched back to.As an example, being etched back to the etching gas of technique can include NF3、F2And SF6At least one of.In a preferred embodiment, etching gas include about 500sccm Ar and about 50sccm NF3.Furthermore it is also possible to add a small amount of O2And CH2F2Or CH3F.For example, about 10sccm O2About 50sccm's CH2F2Or CH3F.Additive below can help to maintain to abut the selectivity of size or increase to oxide hardmask.

Perform step S130:On interlayer dielectric layer and cap layers are formed in groove, the cap layers fill up groove.
As shown in Figure 2 C, depositing cap layers 250, cap layers 250 fill up groove on interlayer dielectric layer 230 and in groove 240 240.In one embodiment, cap layers 250 are nitride layer.The cap layers 250 can be using chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor What the methods of deposition, was formed.The opening higher than groove 240 is preferably able to after cap layers 250 fill up groove 240, so as to be follow-up CMP provide surplus.But the thickness of the cap layers 250 blocked up cycle that may extend whole process, therefore, at one preferably In embodiment, the thickness of cap layers is 500-1500 angstroms.
Perform step S140:Protective layer is formed in cap layers.
As shown in Figure 2 D, protective layer 260 is formed in cap layers 250.Protective layer 260 covers cap layers 250, to fill up cap layers The microrelief on 250 surfaces.Signified microrelief does not include the surface of protective layer 260 caused by groove 240 herein Larger depression.In subsequent CMP process, protective layer 260 can avoid cap layers 250 and tungsten grid in groove Pole structure 220 is layered.
Due to the generally use nitride of cap layers 250, nitride generally has relatively low polishing speed.Therefore, the present invention carries The method of confession, which is particularly applicable to protect layer 260, has a case that the polishing speed for being higher than cap layers 250.In the case, in this hair In the preferred embodiment of bright offer, the thickness of protective layer 260 is less than the thickness of cap layers 250.At the initial stage of chemically mechanical polishing, by It is higher in the polishing speed of protective layer 260, therefore, it is very easy to make the surface of protective layer 260 flat.Therefore, the thickness of protective layer 260 Degree can be with relatively thin relative to the thickness of cap layers 250.It is micro- due to the surface of cap layers 250 when being polished to the surface of cap layers 250 Small fluctuating is already filled up and surface is flat, therefore continues to keep away to a certain extent during polishing cap layers 250 Exempt from cap layers 250 to be layered with tungsten grid structure 220.As an example, the thickness of protective layer 260 can be 200-1000 angstroms.Protective layer 260 thickness can play a good protection within the range, and and can enough avoids extending the process time.
Moreover it is preferred that the adhesion of protective layer 260 is preferably more than the adhesion of cap layers 250.The adhesion refers to crystalline substance Existing interaction force between particle in body.During below face A-A and not up to face B-B is polished to, the surface of cap layers 250 Depression in protective layer 260 crystal grain in cap layers 250 can be played constraint effect.Also, due to what is now polished Surface relatively flat, therefore the risk that cap layers 250 are layered with tungsten grid structure 220 can be reduced.As an example, protective layer 260 can be oxide skin(coating).
Perform step S150:Cap layers beyond protective layer and groove are removed using chemically mechanical polishing.
As shown in Figure 2 E, protective layer 260 and the unexpected cap layers 250 of groove are removed using chemically mechanical polishing.So exist The cap layers 250 that the top of tungsten grid structure 220 is formed can play a protective role during contact hole is formed, and avoid occurring The phenomenon that tungsten grid structure 220 bridges with contact hole.
