Description

A kind of photo etching process method of top layer selection grid tangent line
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of semiconductor manufacture, more particularly to a kind of preparation method of 3D NAND flash memory structures, is specially A kind of photo etching process method for reducing top layer selection grid tangent line critical size.
Background technology
With the development of plane flash memories, the production technology of semiconductor achieves huge progress.But recently Several years, the development of plane flash memory encountered various challenges:Physics limit, the existing developing technique limit and storage electron density Limit etc..In this context, to solve the difficulty and most ask being produced into for lower unit storage unit that planar flash memory runs into This, a variety of three-dimensional (3D) flash memories structures are arisen at the historic moment, such as 3D NOR (3D or non-) flash memories and 3D NAND (3D with non-) flash memory.
Wherein, storage element is used three dimensional pattern stacked in multi-layers by 3D NAND using its small size, Large Copacity as starting point It is highly integrated be design concept, produce high unit area storage density, the memory of efficient storage unit performance, The prevailing technology designed and produced as emerging memory.
Meanwhile it is by the way that memory cell is three-dimensionally disposed in into substrate to carry in current 3D NAND structures High density of integration, wherein channel layer are stood vertically on substrate, and grid is divided into lower floor's selection gate, middle level control gate and top Layer selection gate (Top Select Gate) three parts, by the way that signal is distributed in three groups of gate electrodes to reduce signal Between crosstalk.Specifically, the device of the upper and lower is used as selection transistor --- larger vertical of gate height/thickness MOSFET, gate dielectric layer are conventional individual layer high-g value;The device in middle level is used as memory cell string, gate height/thickness compared with Small, gate dielectric layer is tunnel layer, accumulation layer, the stacked structure on barrier layer.
Wherein, top layer selection grid tangent line (Top Select Gate Cut) generally is provided with the middle part of finger memory block, with The top layer selection grid (Top Select Gate) for referring to memory block is divided into two parts, and top layer selection grid tangent line generally by Oxide material is formed, and is prepared using atom layer deposition process (ALD).Typically use top layer selection grid tangent line (Top Select Gate Cut) etching technics, by ON stack top layer layer 2-3 (2-3Tiers) etch away, as stop (Block) raceway groove, specific preparation technology flow comprise the following steps (referring to Fig. 1 a-1d):
S1:Multilayer lamination structure is formed, referring specifically to Fig. 1 a, first, there is provided substrate 10, the substrate surface is formed with more The interlayer dielectric layer 20 and sacrificial dielectric layer 30, the sacrificial dielectric layer 30 that layer is staggeredly stacked are formed at adjacent interlayer dielectric layer Between 20;Then, using chemical mechanical milling tech so that the surface planarisation of top layer interlayer dielectric layer 20;
S2:Hard mask deposition is carried out to form top layer selection grid tangent line (Top Select Gate Cut), referring specifically to figure 1b, forms composite hard mask layer 40 on the surface of planarized processing, and the composite hard mask layer 40 includes what is sequentially formed Amorphous carbon layer (A-C) 41 is used as anti-reflecting layer as the SiON layers 42 that light-absorption layer, amorphous carbon layer (A-C) surface are formed;
S3:Photoetching is carried out to form top layer selection grid tangent line (Top Select Gate Cut), it is first referring specifically to Fig. 1 c First, photoresist layer 50 is formed in SiON layer surfaces;Then needing to form selection grid tangent line (Top Select Gate Cut) Implement photoetching to remove the photoresist layer 50 in position 60;
S4:Perform etching to form top layer selection grid tangent line (Top Select Gate Cut), referring specifically to Fig. 1 d, adopt With the etching technics of routine, the ditch of top layer selection grid tangent line (Top Select Gate Cut) is formed in foregoing photoetching position 60 Road 70, and photoresist layer and composite hard mask layer are removed to expose the surface of top layer interlayer dielectric layer;
S5:Top layer selection grid tangent line (Top Select Gate Cut) raceway groove is filled, specially using atomic layer Depositing operation (ALD) fills top layer selection grid tangent line oxide material (not shown) in raceway groove 70.
And in the photoetching process of top layer selection grid tangent line raceway groove in S3, first coat photoresist layer 50 and light is carried out to it Carve, hard mask layer 40 is performed etching followed by the photoetching agent pattern after photoetching, finally using etch come hard mask Pattern etches raceway groove 70.Thus, a photoetching critical size (PH CD) can be defined after the photoetching of photoresist layer 50, and A hard mask etching critical size (HM CD) can be defined after hard mask etching, the two critical sizes (that is, close by photoetching Key size and hard mask etching critical size) substantially just define the final critical size (Critical of raceway groove Dimension)。
Continued miniaturization with semiconductor industry and three-dimensional (3D) flash memories is in progress, for the precision of critical size It is required that also more and more higher, particularly when etching the raceway groove of top layer selection grid tangent line (Top Select Gate Cut), it is desirable to push up The etch critical dimension (TSG Cut Etch CD) of layer selection grid tangent line is than contact hole etching critical size (CH Etch CD) also Small, it is (uncommon that this certainly will propose higher requirement for the photoetching critical size (TSG Cut PH CD) of top layer selection grid tangent line Hope and reach 60-80nm dimensional accuracy), and at present in photoetching process frequently with exposure tool (Litho Tool) such as KrF it is accurate Molecular laser (wavelength 248nm) and ArF PRKs (wavelength 193nm), its photoetching critical size that can reach (PH CD) The limit be respectively 130-150nm and 120nm or so, do not reach the photoetching critical size for top layer selection grid tangent line much (TSG Cut PH CD) requirement.
Although immersion instrument (Immersion Tool) can also be used in the prior art with 193 nanometers of immersion stepping Even technology is realized is as short as 80 nanometers of following photoetching critical sizes (Ph CD) in single layer mask, but so does and can bring Problems with:On the one hand, it can make it that whole Processes and apparatus is increasingly complex cumbersome using the instrument of immersion (Immersion Tool), Undoubtedly add preparation cost;On the other hand, it is too small and crucial to also result in depth of focus (Depth of Focus, abbreviation DOF) The uniformity (CD Uniformity) of size is unmanageable.
