Specific embodiment
In order to illustrate more clearly of the present invention, the present invention is done below with reference to preferred embodiments and drawings further detailed
Explanation.Identical part is indicated in attached drawing with identical label.It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that specifically described below
Content is illustrative and be not restrictive, and should not be limited the scope of the invention with this.
In the dielectric deposition stage of semiconductor device technology, it is often necessary to according to require selection process orientation it is strong
It is weak.Directionality is weak, refers to that each surface deposition medium of device geometries obtains thickness and tends to identical, also referred to as " conformality
(conformal) good " or " step coverage (step coverage) is good ".High directivity refers to device upper flat surface
Deposition thickness is greater than the deposition thickness of side wall.The directionality power of dielectric deposition can pass through selection deposition processing recipe or work
Skill parameter controls.For example " atomic layer deposition (ALD) ", " tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) " or lower electrode power are very low
" plasma reinforced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) " is all the work that good step spreadability is commonly realized in semiconductor technology
Skill.And there are " plasma reinforced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) ", " collimated sputtering (collimated of significant lower electrode power
It) " etc. sputtering is then the dielectric deposition method of common high directivity.
The deposition method of metal can also directional power point, such as evaporation be high directivity metal deposit side
Method, these are well known to those skilled in the art.
Similarly, point of also directional power is etched in the preceding road technique of semiconductor devices.In the weak etching process of directionality
In, the etch rate on each surface of device is roughly the same.In the etching process of high directivity, the etching speed of device upper flat surface
Rate is greater than the etch rate of side wall.The directionality power of etching again may be by selective etching process or technological parameter
To control.The weak lithographic method of directionality has wet etching and chemically strong dry etching.The lithographic method of high directivity
There is the dry method of physical strong (emphasizing above device by the charged particle of electric field acceleration from top to bottom to the bombardment of exposed surface)
Etching.This physical strong dry etching often includes " reactive ion (RIE) " etching of inert gas or has significant
" inductively coupled plasma (ICP) " of lower electrode power is etched.
The present invention utilizes the medium/metal deposit and etching work of different directions common in the preceding road technique of semiconductor devices
Skill combination, to remove trenched side-wall kish.It is illustrated below in conjunction with Fig. 5 and Fig. 4 a-e.
As depicted in fig. 4-a, in flute surfaces deposited metal.Wherein, appended drawing reference 40 indicates semiconductor material, and 42 indicate institute
The metal of formation.The semiconductor material can be SiC.
In a preferred embodiment, the strong depositing operation of user's tropism forms metal, so that the gold formed on side wall
Belong to few as far as possible, to facilitate the later period to be easier to remove.
The technique of good directionality, such as collimated sputtering or evaporation.
As shown in Fig. 4-b, the depositing operation that user's tropism is strong in the flute surfaces for being formed with metal 42 forms medium
44, so that the medium on channel bottom and top is thicker than the medium on side wall.
In a preferred embodiment, using a formation in the PECVD and collimated sputtering for having significant lower electrode power
Medium 44.
Medium as shown in Fig. 4-c, on the weak etching technics removal trenched side-wall of user's tropism.
In one example, using the medium on wet-etching technology removal trenched side-wall, expose the metal on side wall.
In before the step of, much thicker than the medium on side wall of the medium of channel bottom and bottom, therefore make
When removing the medium on side wall with the weak etching technics of directionality, etch period is reasonably controlled, so that the medium quilt on side wall
Removal, and still there are certain thickness media for the top of the groove and bottom.
As shown in Fig. 4-d, the weak etching technics of user's tropism removes the metal exposed on trenched side-wall.
At this point, the metal of the top of the groove and bottom is due to there is media protection, and unaffected.
In a preferred embodiment, the metal exposed using inclination reactive ion etching removal.
As shown in Fig. 4-e, the top of the groove and the remaining medium in bottom are removed, exposes the metal of top and bottom.
Since the etching selection ratio of metal and medium is very high, the etching work of high directivity can be selected in this step
Skill is completed, and also be can choose the weak etching technics of directionality and is completed, does not do particular/special requirement.
In a preferred embodiment, it is made a return journey using buffered oxide etch liquid (BOE, Buffered Oxide Etch)
Except remaining medium.
In short, the thinking of this method is after autoregistration metal deposit, first with the process deposits of high directivity
One layer of medium, so that the dielectric thickness of the top of the groove and bottom is much larger than side wall medium thickness.Then utilization orientation weak quarter
Etching technique, the medium of removal devices trench sidewall surface, and on the top in flat surface and channel bottom plane, it leaves comparable
Dielectric thickness.Then the weak lithographic method of user's tropism, such as wet etching remove the metal exposed on side wall.In groove
Top and bottom, due to remaining the protection of medium, lower metal is retained.Then removed again with wet process or dry etching residual
Medium is stayed, the metal and clean trenched side-wall of the top of the groove and bottom are left.Any one has basic semiconductor technology knowledge
Operator/engineer can easily pass through the introduction and understand technical solution of the present invention, and phase is confirmed by experimental development
Answer process detail.
Present invention is particularly applicable in SiC device manufacture craft, it is not easy to realize ladder in SiC device manufacture craft to overcome
The deficiency of shape groove.
In the above-described embodiments, the deposit of side wall is metal.However, those skilled in the art, it is readily appreciated that, according to this
The method for inventing introduction, can remove other deposits on side wall.
Obviously, the above embodiment of the present invention be only to clearly illustrate example of the present invention, and not be pair
The restriction of embodiments of the present invention may be used also on the basis of the above description for those of ordinary skill in the art
To make other variations or changes in different ways, all embodiments can not be exhaustive here, it is all to belong to this hair
The obvious changes or variations that bright technical solution is extended out are still in the scope of protection of the present invention.
