Description of the drawings
Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 is the cross-sectional view of the forming method of metal gates in the prior art;
Fig. 5 to Figure 12 is the cross-sectional view of the forming method of the metal gates in the specific embodiment of the invention.
Specific embodiment
The metal gates performance formed using the method for the prior art is bad, and when serious, metal gates can not work normally The reason for it is as follows:
With reference to figure 2, dummy grid 101 is removed using the method for etching(With reference to figure 1)When, even if silicon oxide layer 102 and pseudo- grid Etching selection ratio between pole 101 differs greatly, and will also result in the loss of silicon oxide layer 102 so that the thickness of silicon oxide layer 102 Reduced, the depth of gate recess 103 is made also to be reduced accordingly.
With reference to figure 4, using the method for chemical mechanical grinding so that layer of aluminum 104 '(With reference to figure 3)Top and oxidation It when the top of silicon layer 102 is equal, is limited by chemical grinding appointed condition, in order to ensure not in 102 remained on surface aluminium of silicon oxide layer Material can grind some silicon oxide layers 102 more, so that the height of silicon oxide layer 102 continues to reduce, make follow-up shape accordingly Into the height of aluminium gate 104 also further reduce.
If the height of aluminium gate 104 is too low, grid resistance value is influenced, and then influences the ability of grid control channel current, Therefore, the performance of aluminium gate 104 is bad, when serious, can not work normally.
In order to avoid above-mentioned technical problem, inventor did following trial to solve the technical problem, the first attempts tool Body is:With reference to figure 1, when forming silicon oxide layer 102, using the method for increasing by 102 thickness of silicon oxide layer, still, with reference to figure 2, After gate recess 103 is formed, the depth of gate recess 103 can increase, so as to the filling layer of aluminum in gate recess 103 In 104 ' the step of, since the depth-to-width ratio of gate recess 103 is too big, so as to which the aluminum material being filled in gate recess 103 can be made Layer 104 '(With reference to figure 3)Inside has gap, so as to influence the performance for the aluminium gate being subsequently formed.Therefore, silica is being formed During layer 102, the method that increase by 102 thickness of silicon oxide layer may be employed does not apply to.
Second of trial be specially:With reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2, during etching removes dummy grid 101, in order to reduce oxygen The loss of SiClx layer 102 can form patterned photoresist layer above silicon oxide layer 102(It is not shown), the pattern The photoresist covering silicon oxide layer 102 of change, while expose dummy grid 101.Then it is mask to pseudo- grid using patterned photoresist Pole 101 performs etching, and gate recess 103 is formed in silicon oxide layer 102.This method also is difficult to reduce silicon oxide layer 102 Loss, the reason is as follows that:The CD sizes of dummy grid 101 are too small, along with the limitation of the alignment precision of photoetching process, it is difficult to by pattern The photoresist of change just exposes dummy grid 101, at the same also can be more or less exposing silicon oxide layer 102, therefore, not by pattern The silicon oxide layer 102 of the photoresist covering of change can also be etched, and then, form layer of aluminum 104 '(With reference to figure 3)During, Layer of aluminum 104 ' can be also filled at the silicon oxide layer 102 being etched, it then, will using CMP process with reference to figure 4 During being removed higher than the layer of aluminum 104 ' on silicon oxide layer 102, filled to remove at the silicon oxide layer 102 being etched Layer of aluminum 104 ', the whole height of silicon oxide layer 102 can be made significantly to decline, so that under the depth of gate recess 103 Drop, and then make to form the reduction of metal gates height.Therefore, the method for silicon oxide layer 102 is covered not using patterned photoresist It is applicable in.
Therefore, in order to solve present invention the technical issues of, the present invention provides a kind of forming methods of metal gates, use The metal gates that the method for the present invention is formed can improve the performance for the metal gates being subsequently formed.

The method of etching stop layer is formed as deposition.In other embodiment, etching stop layer is not formed, falls within the protection model of the present invention It encloses.
In the present embodiment, interlayer layer of dielectric material, covering etching stop layer 203, side wall 202 and dummy grid 201 are formed.So Inter-level dielectric is formed higher than the interlevel dielectric material layer of dummy grid 201 using the removal of the method for chemical mechanical grinding or etching afterwards Layer 204.204 top of interlayer dielectric layer is equal with 201 top of dummy grid.Wherein, the method for interlayer layer of dielectric material is formed to change It learns vapor deposition or high depth ratio fills out ditch technique(HARP,High Aspect Ratio Process).
Then, with reference to figure 6, step S12 is performed, 201 top of dummy grid is at least covered using being epitaxially-formed First sacrificial layer 205.
In the present embodiment, the material of the first sacrificial layer 205 is polysilicon.First sacrificial layer 205 not only covers dummy grid 201 Top, also cover the top of side wall 202,203 top of etching stop layer and part interlayer dielectric layer 204.The epitaxial growth is Reduced pressure epitaxy, specific formation process are as follows:Silicon source gas is silane or dichloro-dihydro silane, and extension pressure is 20~100Torr.

Then, with reference to figure 7, step S13 is performed, forms the second sacrificial layer 206 on interlayer dielectric layer 204, described second 206 top of sacrificial layer is equal with 205 top of the first sacrificial layer.
In the present embodiment, the material of the second sacrificial layer 206 is amorphous carbon.In other embodiment, the material of the second sacrificial layer 206 Material or first polymer or bottom antireflective coating(BARC, Bottom Anti-Reflective Coating).Institute Stating first polymer includes carbon or one kind or their any combination in fluorine, bromine, chlorine element.Form the second sacrificial layer 206 method is specially:Second sacrificial material layer is formed using deposition or the method smeared, second sacrificial material layer is covered 204 and first sacrificial layer 205 of lid interlayer dielectric layer.Then, removed using etching or the method for chemical mechanical grinding or etching Higher than second sacrificial material layer at 205 top of the first sacrificial layer, the second sacrificial layer 206 is formed.The top of second sacrificial layer 206 and the One sacrificial layer, 205 top is equal.
Wherein, when the second sacrificial layer 206 is first polymer, the concrete technology for forming the second sacrificial material layer is:For The flow of deposition gases be 100sccm~1000sccm, deposition pressure be 3mTorr~30mTorr, exciting power for 300W~ 1500W, bias power are 2MHz~60MHz, and processing time is 8s~60s.The deposition gases include carbon and fluorine, bromine, One kind or their any combination in chlorine element.
Then, with reference to figure 8, step S14 is performed, removes first sacrificial layer 205(With reference to figure 7), it is sacrificial described second Opening 207 is formed in domestic animal layer 206,201 top of dummy grid is exposed in 207 bottoms of the opening.
In the present embodiment, the method for the first sacrificial layer 205 of removal is dry etching or wet etching.Wherein dry etching Concrete technology is as follows:Etching gas include HBr and Cl2One or both of, with O2As diluent gas, wherein etching gas Ratio with diluent gas is 100:1~1:100.Wet etching agent is 10~50% tetramethylammonium hydroxide for concentration(TMAH) Solution, the temperature of wet etching is 10~100 DEG C.
In the present embodiment, since the first sacrificial layer 205 not only covers the top of dummy grid 201, also cover side wall 202 and push up Portion, the top of etching stop layer 203 and part interlayer dielectric layer 204, therefore, after removing the first sacrificial layer 205, be open 207 bottom Portion also exposes 202 top of side wall, 203 top of etching stop layer and part interlayer dielectric layer 204.
It should be noted that during the first sacrificial layer 205 of etching, although 201 top of dummy grid, side to 207 bottom of opening The interlayer dielectric layer 204 at 202 top of wall, 203 top of etching stop layer and exposing can all have smaller damage, with prior art phase Than the smaller damage can be ignored.
Then, with reference to figure 9, formed in the side wall of the opening 207 and sacrifice side wall 208.
In the present embodiment, the material of side wall 208 is sacrificed for second polymer, is prepared by hydrocarbon gas.It is formed and sacrifices side wall 208 method is specific as follows:The deposited sacrificial spacer material layer on the bottom of opening 207, side wall and the second sacrificial layer 206, so The method carved is used back to be formed in the side wall of opening 207 afterwards and sacrifices side wall 208.Adjacent two expose between sacrificing side wall 208 The top of dummy grid 201.Chemical formula is used as CxHyFxDeposition gases deposit to be formed sacrifice spacer material layer, concrete technology is such as Under:Chemical formula is CH3F,CH2F2, C3HF3Deposition gases in one kind, two or three, the total flows 100 of deposition gases~ 2000sccm.In the present embodiment, the 100~2000W of exciting power, 0~50W of bias power for carving and being formed and sacrificing side wall 208 are returned.
Then, with reference to figure 10, step S15 is performed, removes the dummy grid 201(With reference to figure 9), in the interlayer dielectric layer Gate recess 209 is formed in 204.
It is formed after sacrificing side wall 208, to sacrifice side wall 208 for mask, removes dummy grid 201.Remove the side of dummy grid 201 Method is dry etching either wet etching.Belong to those skilled in the art's well-known processes, details are not described herein.Remove dummy grid During 201, due to sacrificing 208 and second sacrificial layer 206 of side wall to interlayer dielectric layer 204, side wall 202 and etching stop layer 203 protection makes interlayer dielectric layer 204, side wall 202 and etching stop layer 203 not damage, so as to cause inter-level dielectric Layer 204, side wall 202, the height of etching stop layer 203 decline, into the depth minus without causing the gate recess 209 to be formed It is small, it ensure that the height of the metal gates subsequently formed in gate recess 209.
It should be noted that:Formed sacrifice side wall 208 with etching removal dummy grid 201 technique be same chamber into Capable.Why carried out in same chamber, reason is as follows:(1)If being formed in the first reaction chamber and sacrificing side wall 208, In the technique that the second reaction chamber performs etching removal dummy grid 201, then during substrate is removed the first reaction chamber, Substrate surface can aoxidize in air, and the progress for being unfavorable for subsequent technique or the performance for being subsequently formed device are bad.(2) Processing step and process equipment can be saved.
Need to illustrate again is:During etching removal dummy grid 201, it can be covered in the lateral wall for sacrificing side wall 208 Lid etch by-products, which is also second polymer, during removing dummy grid 201 in etching, is sacrificed Side wall 208 and etch by-products can preferably protect 202 top of side wall, 203 top of etching stop layer and part inter-level dielectric Layer 204 is injury-free.
In the present embodiment, after forming gate recess 209, the bottom of gate recess 209 can expose high-k gate dielectric layer.Other In embodiment, if the material of gate dielectric layer is silica, gate silicon oxide dielectric layer is exposed in 209 bottom of gate recess.
Then, with reference to figure 11, side wall 208 is sacrificed in removal(With reference to figure 10).
In the present embodiment, removal sacrifices the method for side wall 208 for ashing or wet etching.
It should be noted that:Why sacrifice the material of side wall 208 cannot use silica or silicon nitride.Be because, after When side wall 208 is sacrificed in continuous removal, interlayer dielectric layer 204, side wall 202 and 203 part of etching stop layer can equally be removed.
Then, with continued reference to Figure 11 and Figure 12, step S16 is performed, the second sacrificial layer 206 is removed, in the gate recess Filling metal material layer 210 ' forms metal gates 210 in 209.
In the present embodiment, when the material of the second sacrificial layer 206 is amorphous carbon, the method removal of ashing may be employed.When When the material of two sacrificial layers 206 is first polymer, ashing or the method removal of wet etching may be employed.The wet etching Agent is hydrofluoric acid containing solution.
In the present embodiment, in order to save processing step, while remove the second sacrificial layer 206 and sacrifice side wall 208.Other realities The second sacrificial layer 206 and sacrifice side wall 208 can also be removed step by step by applying in example.
In the second sacrificial layer 206 of removal and after sacrificing side wall 208, form metal material layer, fill gate recess 209 and Cover 202 top of side wall, 203 top of etching stop layer and interlayer dielectric layer 204.Then, with reference to figure 12, removal is situated between higher than interlayer The metal material layer at 204 top of matter layer, forms metal gates 210.
In other embodiments, if gate recess bottom is gate silicon oxide dielectric layer, the second sacrificial layer and sacrifice are removed After the step of side wall, formed metal material layer the step of before, it is necessary to gate silicon oxide dielectric layer be removed, then in gate recess Bottom and side wall formed high-k gate dielectric layer.
In the present embodiment, the first sacrificial layer being epitaxially-formed not only covers the top of dummy grid, also covers side wall Top, etching stop layer top and part interlayer dielectric layer.Then, the second sacrificial layer is formed on interlayer dielectric layer, described It is equal at the top of first sacrificial layer at the top of two sacrificial layers.After removing the first sacrificial layer, what is formed in the second sacrificial layer opens Mouth bottom not only exposes the top of dummy grid, also exposes side wall top, etching stop layer top and part interlayer dielectric layer. Therefore, it is necessary to be formed to sacrifice side wall in the side wall of opening, adjacent two are sacrificed an exposing dummy grid between side wall.In this way, it carves During etching off removes dummy grid, sacrifice side wall and the second sacrificial layer protects side wall top, etching stop layer top and portion jointly Divide interlayer dielectric layer injury-free, therefore, during etching removal dummy grid, interlayer dielectric layer, side wall and quarter will not be caused The height for losing stop-layer declines.So that the depth of the gate recess formed will not reduce, ensure that subsequently in gate recess The height of the metal gates of formation improves the performance of metal gates.
Why the first sacrificial layer at least covered at the top of dummy grid is formed using the method for epitaxial growth, reason is as follows: First sacrificial layer is formed using the method for epitaxial growth, the first sacrificial layer can all cover dummy grid, moreover, first sacrifices The position of layer determines the position of the opening in the second sacrificial layer, so that the sacrifice side wall of the second sacrificial layer and opening sidewalls Accurately the top of dummy grid can be exposed.And then can accurately remove dummy grid, meanwhile, avoid side wall, etch-stop Only layer and interlayer dielectric layer are damaged.This process is autoregistration process, and before etching removes dummy grid, the second of formation sacrifices Layer and sacrifice side wall can accurately expose dummy grid.
And second in background technology is mentioned in attempting:If patterned light is directly formed at the top of interlayer dielectric layer Photoresist ideally wishes that the patterned photoresist only exposes the top of dummy grid.However, the CD sizes and light of dummy grid The limitation of the alignment precision of carving technology so that patterned photoresist accurately can not only expose dummy grid, while also can or it is more Or it is a kind of in few exposing side wall, etching stop layer and interlayer dielectric layer, two or three.Therefore, dummy grid is removed in etching During, can be damaged side wall, etching stop layer and interlayer dielectric layer.
Therefore, it can avoid the problem that the alignment precision that second of trial is run into is poor using the method for the present embodiment, It can be very good using self aligned method at the top of protection interlayer dielectric layer, side wall top and etching stop layer in removal dummy grid During it is injury-free so that the depth of gate recess will not reduce, and then make the height of metal gates being subsequently formed It will not reduce.
In other embodiment, only covered at the top of dummy grid and at the top of side wall using the first sacrificial layer being epitaxially-formed Within belonging to the scope of protection of the present invention.
In other embodiment, the first sacrificial layer is only covered at the top of dummy grid, at the top of side wall and etching stop layer top also belongs to Within protection scope of the present invention.
In other embodiment, the first sacrificial layer is only covered at the top of dummy grid, is fallen within protection scope of the present invention.It needs It is noted that after the first sacrificial layer of removal, only exposed in the open bottom that the second sacrificial layer is formed at the top of dummy grid, because This, need not form the step of sacrificing side wall in the opening sidewalls of the second sacrificial layer.After removing the first sacrificial layer, can directly it go Except dummy grid.Then remove the second sacrificial layer and form gate recess.
Although present disclosure is as above, present invention is not limited to this.Any those skilled in the art are not departing from this It in the spirit and scope of invention, can make various changes or modifications, therefore protection scope of the present invention should be with claim institute Subject to the scope of restriction.
