Hard mask is etched or is opened (step 104).In this instance, hard mask is tantalum (Ta) layer 256.SiN layer 264 and TiN layer 260 are used as the mask etching Ta layer 256.In this embodiment, plasma etching is used to etching Ta layer 256.In this embodiment, use Cl can be adopted 2as the dry etching of etching gas.Fig. 2 B is by the viewgraph of cross-section of stacking 200 after etching at tantalum layer 256.
2nd Ru layer 252 uses the chemical substance based on hypochlorite and/or ozone to carry out etching (step 108).In one embodiment, plasma etching can be used to the etching of the provided chemical substance based on hypochlorite and/or ozone.In another embodiment, the chemical substance based on hypochlorite and ozone can be used to wet etching.In such embodiments, before etching the 2nd Ru layer 252, dilution hydrogen fluoride (dHF) prerinse can be used to remove silicon oxide residues (silicon oxide residue).Clorox (NaClO) aqueous solution can be used in wet etching to etch the 2nd Ru layer 252.In this instance, Ru etching is the wet etching using the NaClO aqueous solution.Other hypochlorite etch processs be included in pH>12 without the perchloric acid (HClO) in sodium (Na) solution; Organic hypochlorite R-hypochlorous acid (R-OCl) in organic solvent; Containing the alkyls (-CH of R 3. – CH 2cH 3,-C (CH 3) 3deng), cycloalkanes base class (cycloalkly) or aromatic carbonyl (acromatic carbonyl).Fig. 2 C is that the 2nd Ru layer 252 is by the viewgraph of cross-section of stacking 200 after etching.The example of the Ru wet etching containing ozone water solution containing pH>12 is used to comprise the saturated NaOH of ozone (ozone saturated NaOH), NH 4oH or tetramethyl oxyammonia (tetramethyammoniumhydroxide) solvent.
MTJ stacking 268 is undertaken etching (step 112) by the recess entering pinprick layer.This recess allows the Capping operation of follow-up use dielectric (dielectric) to seal the interface of MTJ and pinprick layer.In this embodiment, low bias voltage ion sputtering is used to etch described MTJ stacking 268.In this embodiment, the gas used in this step is made up of argon gas (Ar) substantially.Preferably, low bias voltage provides the bias voltage between 10 to 500 volts.More preferably, low bias voltage is between 20 to 300 volts.Most preferably, low bias voltage is between 100 to 200 volts.Find there is no chemical corrosion gas and only have the low-voltage ion of inertia bombarding gas (inert bombardment gas) to sputter to provide MTJ to pile up the MTJ that decreases to etch unexpectedly.Chemical corrosion gas is the gas with utilizing chemical reaction to carry out the composition etched.Inertia bombarding gas does not use chemical reaction to etch, and only uses physical bombardment to etch.Fig. 2 D is that the 2nd MTJ stacking 268 is by the viewgraph of cross-section of stacking 200 after etching.
Sealed (step 116) by depositing the conformal insulator layer 272 be made up of dielectric substance through the MTJ stacking 268 of etching.This cover layer 272 by the MTJ stacked package opened to keep the stacking injury avoiding the etching bottom that will be caused by subsequent treatment of MTJ.It is equally important that the process of the etch processes of succeeding layer with etching MTJ stacking 268 is also separated by cover layer.Two kinds of common injury classifications on MTJ comprise: the etch products on MTJ sidewall deposits again, and it causes MTJ short circuit, and react to reduce magnetic with MTJ layer etching chemistry.Therefore, in traditional technique, when all stacking by intectate etch time, MTJ is stacking impaired.The etch processes of any damage MgO or CoFeB is all not received, comprises based on water (H 2o), the chemistry of oxygen, halogen or plasma system etching.Select suitable cover layer that the MTJ be opened can be made to avoid fault in follow-up processing flow or deterioration.Therefore, window is opened to carry out various process (comprising the process of those and MgO/CoFeB non-compatible) to etch succeeding layer and the electricity/magnetic attribute maintaining MTJ is avoided reducing by desirable cover layer.Various isolation cover layer can be used for selection, such as: based on dielectric film, SiN, SiC, SiCN, SiO of silicon 2, SiOC, SiOCH 3, SiOCHxCH 3, Si; Based on dielectric film (carbon, polymer), the nitride (BN) of carbon.In this instance, show with SiO 2with the cover layer of SiN.Plasma is by SiH 4and O 2formed with etched stacking on deposit SiO 2layer.In another embodiment, deposited SiN layer.Fig. 2 E deposited SiO 2sedimentary deposit 272 after stacking 200 viewgraph of cross-section.
Sedimentary deposit 272 is etched back (being opened) to make PtMn layer 208 below expose, and the sidewall of MTJ stacking 268 keeps sealing.In this embodiment, CF 4open process with Ar plasma to be used to open described sedimentary deposit.Fig. 2 F is the viewgraph of cross-section of stacking 200 after sedimentary deposit 272 has been opened.The bottom of sedimentary deposit 272 is completely removed.The sidewall of sedimentary deposit 272 can be thinned but keep sealing described MTJ stacking 268.
Pinprick layer 270 is etched (step 120).In one embodiment, pinprick layer 270 is etched by dry plasma etch.In another embodiment, pinprick layer 270 uses wet etching to be etched.Example comprises the pyridine (pyridine) of different proportion and thionyl chloride (SOCl 2) mixture, and the dilution mixture thing in organic solvent includes but not limited to acetonitrile (acetonitrile).Hydrogen bromide (HBr) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (DMSO) mixture are also used to etch PtMn and the pinprick layer containing other noble metals.Carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4) be also used to etch PtMn and the pinprick layer containing other noble metals with the mixture of at least one in DMSO, acetonitrile, benzonitrile (benzonitrile) or dimethyl formamide (DMF).Fig. 2 G is that pinprick layer 270 is by the viewgraph of cross-section of stacking 200 after etching.The additional treatment step such as removing sedimentary deposit 272 and so on can be used to form stacking 202 in a mram.
Some embodiments of the present invention provide the advantage being much better than prior art.Such as, the sealing of MTJ stacking 268 eliminates MTJ stacking 268 in pinprick layer etching (step 120) period institute's damaged.In addition, use low bias voltage ion sputtering to replace chemical etching or high bias voltage ion sputtering to stacking 268 etchings of MTJ, create a further reduction the damage to MTJ stacking 268.The chemical etching of MTJ stacking 268 can damage some layers of MTJ stacking 268.Find unexpectedly, low bias voltage ion sputtering can cause stacking 268 material re-deposition of less MTJ.Because deposition materials can cause layer short circuit again, the minimizing of the MTJ material therefore deposited again improves equipment quality.Remove such deposition materials again and may damage MTJ layer.The magnetic of MRAM can not be changed with being hoped to the infringement of MTJ stacking 268.Use and found with being expected to provide a kind of optional etch improved for Ru layer 284 based on chemical etches the 2nd Ru layer 248 of hypochlorous acid and/or ozone, this requires a kind of etch recipe being different from formula for etching MTJ stacking 268.Ru is unusual inertia.Hypochlorous acid is the strong oxidizer needed for oxidation inert Ru.Different causing stacking 268 infringements of less MTJ with optional etching and deposit again in these two steps.In other embodiments, MTJ stacking 268 can comprise other layers or with another order or can have more or less layer.MTJ stacking 268 is the requisite forms forming MRAM.
Although the present invention describes according to several preferred embodiment, have and fall into change within scope of the present invention, displacement, amendment and various substitute equivalents.Shall also be noted that the many alternative existing and realize method and apparatus of the present invention.Therefore, accompanying claim is interpreted as comprising all these changes in true spirit of the present invention and scope, displacement and various substitute equivalents.
