Description

减薄栅极氧化层的方法及MOS器件的制作方法Method for thinning gate oxide layer and method for manufacturing MOS device

技术领域technical field

本申请涉及半导体集成电路的制作工艺,尤其涉及一种减薄栅极氧化层的方法及MOS器件的制作方法。The present application relates to a manufacturing process of a semiconductor integrated circuit, in particular to a method for thinning a gate oxide layer and a manufacturing method of a MOS device.

背景技术Background technique

目前,随着半导体制造技术的飞速发展,半导体器件为了达到更快的运算速度、更大的数据存储量以及更多的功能,晶片朝向高元件密度、高集成度的方向发展。其中,半导体器件的栅极变得越来越细且长度变得较以往更短,栅极的氧化层变得越来越薄。At present, with the rapid development of semiconductor manufacturing technology, in order to achieve faster computing speed, larger data storage capacity and more functions of semiconductor devices, chips are developing towards the direction of high component density and high integration. Among them, gates of semiconductor devices are becoming thinner and shorter than before, and oxide layers of gates are becoming thinner and thinner.

在半导体产品中,通常既要涉及到高压器件,又要涉及低压器件。一般情况下,高压器件中栅极的氧化层厚度相比低压器件较大。因此,在生产工艺中需要对栅极氧化层进行刻蚀减薄,以平衡高低压区氧化层厚度以及增加后续工艺的窗口大小。目前,栅极氧化层的刻蚀方法主要包括光阻掩蔽结合干法刻蚀方法、直接湿法刻蚀方法和光阻掩蔽结合湿法刻蚀方法。In semiconductor products, both high-voltage devices and low-voltage devices are usually involved. In general, the thickness of the gate oxide layer in high-voltage devices is larger than that in low-voltage devices. Therefore, in the production process, it is necessary to etch and thin the gate oxide layer to balance the thickness of the oxide layer in the high and low voltage regions and increase the window size of the subsequent process. At present, the etching methods of the gate oxide layer mainly include photoresist masking combined with dry etching method, direct wet etching method and photoresist masking combined wet etching method.

光阻掩蔽结合干法刻蚀方法的工艺步骤为:首先在衬底上依次沉积氧化层和栅极层,然后在栅极中间部分涂上一层光阻胶,最后通过干法蚀刻栅极层以及氧化层,完成栅极的制备以及氧化层的减薄。采用此种方法虽然可以使氧化层厚度减薄,但却会对衬底造成损伤。The process steps of photoresist masking combined with dry etching method are: first deposit an oxide layer and a gate layer in sequence on the substrate, then coat a layer of photoresist on the middle part of the gate, and finally etch the gate layer by dry method As well as the oxide layer, the preparation of the gate and the thinning of the oxide layer are completed. Although this method can reduce the thickness of the oxide layer, it will cause damage to the substrate.

直接湿法刻蚀方法的工艺步骤为:将晶圆浸入到HF刻蚀液中,让HF刻蚀液与栅极氧化层反应一段时间,进而将栅极氧化层逐渐剥离,实现氧化层的减薄。由于湿法蚀刻具有各向同性,因此,直接湿法蚀刻会造成栅极的侧向蚀刻,使得栅极底端出现横向凹槽,从而影响器件的性能。The process steps of the direct wet etching method are: immerse the wafer in the HF etching solution, let the HF etching solution react with the gate oxide layer for a period of time, and then gradually peel off the gate oxide layer to realize the reduction of the oxide layer. Thin. Since wet etching is isotropic, direct wet etching will cause lateral etching of the gate, so that a lateral groove appears at the bottom of the gate, thereby affecting the performance of the device.

光阻掩蔽结合湿法刻蚀方法的工艺步骤为:在氧化层的表面以及栅极表面涂上一层光刻胶,作为光罩,然后采用氢氟酸腐蚀氧化层,再经过灰化处理和清洗步骤,去除光刻胶。采用这种方法虽然能够完成高压、低压区氧化层厚度的平衡,但是需要增加一层光罩及多道相应程序。The process steps of photoresist masking combined with wet etching method are as follows: a layer of photoresist is coated on the surface of the oxide layer and the surface of the gate as a photomask, and then the oxide layer is etched with hydrofluoric acid, and then ashed and processed. Cleaning step to remove photoresist. Although this method can achieve the balance of the thickness of the oxide layer in the high pressure and low pressure areas, it needs to add a layer of photomask and multiple corresponding procedures.

在公开号为CN200310122904的中国专利申请中公开了一种消除栅刻蚀横向凹槽的方法。该方法将过刻蚀步骤分为变压力的两个步骤,第一步用高压力过刻蚀,此高压力容易使等离子体中产生高分子聚合物,使栅侧壁上及底部形成钝化保护层,第二步是一般常规的过刻蚀,它的压力相较第一步而言稍低,用来去除未刻尽的硅残留,并调整栅的侧壁垂直度。此申请虽然避免了横向凹槽,却不能处理氧化层厚度平衡的问题,因为它对硅/氧化硅选择性过高很难去除厚氧区的氧化硅。In the Chinese patent application publication number CN200310122904, a method for eliminating gate etching lateral grooves is disclosed. In this method, the over-etching step is divided into two steps of variable pressure. The first step is over-etching with high pressure. This high pressure can easily cause high molecular polymers to be generated in the plasma, and passivation can be formed on the side wall and bottom of the gate. For the protective layer, the second step is a general conventional over-etching, and its pressure is slightly lower than that of the first step, which is used to remove the unetched silicon residue and adjust the verticality of the sidewall of the gate. Although this application avoids lateral grooves, it cannot deal with the problem of oxide layer thickness balance because it is too selective for silicon/silicon oxide and it is difficult to remove silicon oxide in thick oxygen regions.

具体实施方式detailed description

下面将结合本申请的具体实施方式,对本申请的技术方案进行详细的说明,但如下实施例仅是用以理解本申请,而不能限制本申请,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合,本申请可以由权利要求限定和覆盖的多种不同方式实施。The technical scheme of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific implementation of the present application, but the following examples are only used to understand the present application, and cannot limit the present application. The embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments Combinable with each other, the application can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered by the claims.

由背景技术可知,现有栅极氧化层的减薄刻蚀过程存在侧向刻蚀的问题,本申请的发明人针对上述问题进行研究,创造性地利用栅极侧壁上形成的侧壁保护层,以及干法刻蚀工艺及湿法刻蚀工艺相结合,实现了高压区氧化层、低压区氧化层的刻蚀减薄,并避免了栅极底部的侧向损伤。发明人发现按照上述方法刻蚀得到的半导体器件中栅极氧化层的厚度均匀,克服了现有刻蚀工艺所带来的技术弊端。It can be known from the background technology that there is a problem of lateral etching in the existing gate oxide layer thinning etching process. The inventors of the present application have studied the above problem and creatively used the sidewall protection layer formed on the sidewall of the gate , and the combination of the dry etching process and the wet etching process, the etching thinning of the oxide layer in the high-voltage area and the oxide layer in the low-voltage area is realized, and the lateral damage at the bottom of the gate is avoided. The inventors found that the thickness of the gate oxide layer in the semiconductor device etched by the above method is uniform, which overcomes the technical drawbacks caused by the existing etching process.

如图1所示,本申请提供的栅极刻蚀方法包括以下步骤:S101,在栅极氧化层和栅极结构上沉积保护层,保护层包括栅极氧化层保护层、栅极侧壁保护层以及栅极顶部保护层;S102,采用干法刻蚀去除栅极氧化层保护层以及栅极顶部保护层;S103,以栅极侧壁保护层为掩膜,采用湿法刻蚀工艺对所述栅极氧化层进行刻蚀减薄;以及S104,去除栅极侧壁保护层。从以上步骤可以看出,本申请首先在栅极的侧壁上形成栅极侧壁保护层,然后以该保护层作为掩膜对栅极氧化层进行湿法刻蚀。因为栅极侧壁保护层与栅极氧化层之间具有一定的刻蚀比,所以在湿法刻蚀过程中,栅极侧壁保护层作为掩膜对其所覆盖的栅极氧化层具有保护作用,从而对栅极的侧壁形成了保护作用。对于栅极侧壁保护层所覆盖的栅极氧化层,刻蚀液只能刻蚀减薄部分栅极氧化层或者根本无法刻蚀减薄这部分栅极氧化层。因此,经过上述步骤后即可实现对半导体器件栅极氧化层的减薄刻蚀,还避免了对栅极底部的侧向刻蚀。As shown in Figure 1, the gate etching method provided by the present application includes the following steps: S101, depositing a protective layer on the gate oxide layer and the gate structure, the protective layer includes a gate oxide protective layer, a gate sidewall protection layer and the gate top protection layer; S102, using dry etching to remove the gate oxide protection layer and the gate top protection layer; S103, using the gate sidewall protection layer as a mask, using a wet etching process to remove the Etching and thinning the gate oxide layer; and S104, removing the gate sidewall protection layer. It can be seen from the above steps that in the present application, a gate sidewall protective layer is first formed on the sidewall of the gate, and then the gate oxide layer is wet-etched using the protective layer as a mask. Because there is a certain etching ratio between the gate sidewall protection layer and the gate oxide layer, the gate sidewall protection layer acts as a mask to protect the gate oxide layer covered by it during the wet etching process. role, thereby forming a protective effect on the sidewall of the gate. For the gate oxide layer covered by the gate sidewall protection layer, the etchant can only etch and thin a part of the gate oxide layer or cannot etch and thin the gate oxide layer at all. Therefore, after the above steps, the thinning and etching of the gate oxide layer of the semiconductor device can be realized, and the lateral etching of the bottom of the gate can also be avoided.

现在,将参照附图更详细地描述根据本申请的示例性实施方式。然而,这些示例性实施方式可以由多种不同的形式来实施,并且不应当被解释为只限于这里所阐述的实施方式。应当理解的是,提供这些实施方式是为了使得本申请的公开彻底且完整,并且将这些示例性实施方式的构思充分传达给本领域普通技术人员,在附图中,为了清楚起见,扩大了层和区域的厚度,并且使用相同的附图标记表示相同的器件,因而将省略对它们的描述。Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Moreover, although the protection layer 204 includes a gate oxide protection layer 2041, a gate sidewall protection layer 2042, and a gate top protection layer 2043, during the formation of the protection layer 204, the gate oxide protection layer 2041, the gate The sidewall protection layer 2042 and the gate top protection layer 2043 can be integrally formed or formed in sections.

接下来,实施步骤S102,采用干法刻蚀去除栅极氧化层保护层2041以及栅极顶部保护层2043,形成如图3所示的半导体器件基体剖面结构示意图。本申请的发明人在此步骤采用了干法刻蚀,其目的在于利用干法刻蚀的各向异性仅对栅极氧化层保护层2041以及栅极顶部保护层2043进行刻蚀去除,而保留栅极侧壁保护层2042。在本申请所提供的具体实施方式中,干法刻蚀包括以下步骤:将图2所示半导体器件放入反应器的承载器上,调节聚焦环与衬底的距离;开启加热电源,在一定的温度和压力下,气体发生电离形成等离子体;等离子体轰击栅极氧化层保护层2041以及栅极顶部保护层2043的表面,将栅极氧化层保护层2041和栅极顶部保护层2043的原子击出,实现栅极氧化层保护层2041和栅极顶部保护层2043的去除。在刻蚀过程中,可根据栅极氧化层保护层2041和栅极顶部保护层2043的厚度调整所需的刻蚀时间。优选地,在栅极氧化层保护层2041和栅极顶部保护层2043的厚度在为10-50纳米的范围内,干法刻蚀的时间为10-30s,压力为10-100mTorr,温度为0-60℃,功率为100-800W。对于栅极氧化层保护层2041以及栅极顶部保护层2043,优选地,在本步骤中完全被移除。为了实现全部移除,也可将刻蚀过程控制在10%-15%的过蚀刻。Next, step S102 is implemented, and the gate oxide protection layer 2041 and the gate top protection layer 2043 are removed by dry etching to form a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the semiconductor device body as shown in FIG. 3 . The inventors of the present application adopted dry etching in this step, the purpose of which is to use the anisotropy of dry etching to etch and remove only the gate oxide protection layer 2041 and the gate top protection layer 2043, while leaving Gate sidewall protection layer 2042 . In the specific embodiment provided by the present application, the dry etching includes the following steps: placing the semiconductor device shown in Figure 2 on the carrier of the reactor, adjusting the distance between the focus ring and the substrate; turning on the heating power supply, Under the temperature and pressure, the gas is ionized to form plasma; the plasma bombards the surface of the gate oxide protection layer 2041 and the gate top protection layer 2043, and the atoms of the gate oxide protection layer 2041 and the gate top protection layer 2043 The gate oxide protection layer 2041 and the gate top protection layer 2043 are removed by striking. During the etching process, the required etching time can be adjusted according to the thicknesses of the gate oxide protection layer 2041 and the gate top protection layer 2043 . Preferably, the thickness of the gate oxide protection layer 2041 and the gate top protection layer 2043 is in the range of 10-50 nanometers, the dry etching time is 10-30s, the pressure is 10-100mTorr, and the temperature is 0 -60℃, the power is 100-800W. The gate oxide protection layer 2041 and the gate top protection layer 2043 are preferably completely removed in this step. In order to achieve complete removal, the etch process can also be controlled to 10%-15% overetch.

然后实施步骤S103,以栅极侧壁保护层2042为掩膜,采用湿法刻蚀工艺对栅极氧化层202进行刻蚀减薄,形成如图4所示的半导体器件基体剖面结构示意图。在本申请提供的具体实施方式中,湿法蚀刻过程为:将HF刻蚀液完全浸没衬底201的表面,让HF刻蚀液与衬底201上的栅极氧化层202接触;随着时间的推移栅极氧化层202逐渐剥离,剥离产物离开刻蚀表面并扩散至刻蚀液中。当然,在湿法刻蚀过程中,可根据栅极氧化层202的厚度以及减薄后的目标厚度调整刻蚀时间,而且刻蚀液也不仅仅局限为HF刻蚀液,其他湿法刻蚀的常用刻蚀液也可以应用于本申请。如果选用HF溶液作为刻蚀液,那么上述HF溶液的浓度(水与HF的体积比)优选在20-100:1的范围内。上述氢氟酸处理时间为100-800秒,在此范围内,蚀刻均匀性较优,并且还有效兼顾了蚀刻的稳定性与单位时间内的产能,优选地,本步骤可将过蚀刻需要控制在50%之内,以保证将栅极氧化层减薄到预定厚度。因为栅极侧壁保护层2042与栅极氧化层202之间具有一定的刻蚀比,所以在湿法刻蚀过程中,栅极侧壁保护层2042作为掩膜对其所覆盖的栅极氧化层具有保护作用。对于栅极侧壁保护层2042所覆盖的栅极氧化层,刻蚀液只能刻蚀减薄部分栅极氧化层或者根本无法刻蚀减薄这部分栅极氧化层。Then step S103 is implemented, using the gate sidewall protection layer 2042 as a mask, and using a wet etching process to etch and thin the gate oxide layer 202 to form a schematic cross-sectional structure of the semiconductor device substrate as shown in FIG. 4 . In the specific embodiment provided by the present application, the wet etching process is: completely immerse the HF etching solution on the surface of the substrate 201, and allow the HF etching solution to contact the gate oxide layer 202 on the substrate 201; The gate oxide layer 202 is gradually peeled off, and the peeled products leave the etching surface and diffuse into the etching solution. Of course, during the wet etching process, the etching time can be adjusted according to the thickness of the gate oxide layer 202 and the target thickness after thinning, and the etching solution is not limited to HF etching solution, other wet etching The commonly used etchant can also be applied to this application. If HF solution is selected as the etching solution, the concentration of the above HF solution (volume ratio of water to HF) is preferably in the range of 20-100:1. The above-mentioned hydrofluoric acid treatment time is 100-800 seconds, within this range, the etching uniformity is better, and it also effectively takes into account the stability of etching and the production capacity per unit time. Preferably, this step can control the overetching needs Within 50%, to ensure that the gate oxide layer is thinned to a predetermined thickness. Because there is a certain etch ratio between the gate sidewall protection layer 2042 and the gate oxide layer 202, during the wet etching process, the gate sidewall protection layer 2042 serves as a mask to cover the gate oxidation layer 202. Layers are protective. For the gate oxide layer covered by the gate sidewall protection layer 2042 , the etchant can only etch and thin a part of the gate oxide layer or cannot etch and thin this part of the gate oxide layer at all.

最后实施步骤S104,去除栅极侧壁保护层2042,形成的半导体器件基体剖面结构示意图如图5所示。在本申请提供的具体实施方式中,去除该栅极侧壁保护层2042的过程可以为:将步骤S103得到的半导体器件浸入到保护层溶解剂中,加热并使得保护层溶解。这里所指的保护层溶解剂是指能够特异性溶解保护层,而对半导体器件中的其他部件无影响的溶液。优选的,本申请所采用的保护层溶解剂为85%的磷酸中,溶解温度为160℃,反应时间为600秒。经过保护层溶解剂的处理后,栅极侧壁保护层逐渐剥离,剥离产物离开刻蚀表面扩散至溶液中,随溶液排除。完成了步骤S104后,就完成了整个减薄工艺过程。从图5可以看出,采用本申请所提供的减薄工艺进行处理后,栅极氧化层202被减薄,而栅极203底部的氧化层却没有出现横向凹槽,完全克服了现有减薄工艺存在的技术缺陷。Finally, step S104 is implemented to remove the gate sidewall protection layer 2042 , and the cross-sectional structure of the formed semiconductor device body is shown in FIG. 5 . In the specific embodiment provided in this application, the process of removing the gate sidewall protective layer 2042 may be: immerse the semiconductor device obtained in step S103 into a protective layer dissolving agent, heat and dissolve the protective layer. The protective layer dissolving agent referred to here refers to a solution capable of specifically dissolving the protective layer without affecting other components in the semiconductor device. Preferably, the protective layer dissolving agent used in this application is 85% phosphoric acid, the dissolution temperature is 160° C., and the reaction time is 600 seconds. After being treated with a protective layer dissolving agent, the gate sidewall protective layer is gradually peeled off, and the peeled product leaves the etching surface and diffuses into the solution, and is discharged along with the solution. After step S104 is completed, the entire thinning process is completed. It can be seen from FIG. 5 that after the thinning process provided by the present application, the gate oxide layer 202 is thinned, but the oxide layer at the bottom of the gate 203 has no lateral grooves, which completely overcomes the existing thinning process. Technical defects in the thin process.
