Description

Isolation trench film filling structure, semiconductor memory device and preparation method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular, to an isolation trench thin film filling structure, a semiconductor memory device and a method for manufacturing the same.
Background
The patterning can create a topology with three spatial dimensions on the wafer surface, which creates gaps and steps on the wafer surface. A small gap (e.g., an isolation trench or via) may be described by an aspect ratio, which is defined as the ratio of the depth to the width of the gap. The ability to fill very small gaps on the surface of a silicon wafer is the most important thin film property in the fabrication of devices. For small gaps, the aspect ratio, whether high/low, makes it difficult to deposit films of uniform thickness and creates pinch-offs and voids. With the continued decrease in feature sizes of high density integrated circuits, it is important that a uniform, void-free fill deposition process be performed for high/low aspect ratio gaps.
Chemical vapor deposition (Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD) is a process of depositing a solid film on the surface of a silicon wafer by chemical reaction of gas mixture. Common chemical vapor deposition includes atmospheric Pressure chemical vapor deposition (Atmospheric Pressure CVD, APCVD), low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD), and plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. A recent development in plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition is high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (High Density Plasma CVD, HDPCVD) which uses a plasma at low pressure in the form of a high density gas mixture that directly contacts the surface of the silicon wafer in the reaction chamber. Its main advantage is that it can prepare the film capable of filling the gap with high depth-to-width ratio at the deposition temperature of 300-400 deg.C.
The high density plasma chemical vapor deposition process has simultaneous deposition and etching, which is the basis for filling high aspect ratio gaps with dielectric materials and without void formation. The synchronous deposition and etching mainly comprises the following three mechanisms: 1. ion-induced deposition: ion-induced film initial product deposition to form gap filling; 2. sputtering and etching: etching redundant films at the gap inlet by argon ion sputtering, and forming an inclined plane shape on the films; 3. and (3) redeposition: and depositing the etched material. The process is repeated until the upper and lower topography is consistent. The method is used for depositing the film in the U.S. patent 6908862B 2. Specifically, this patent discloses a method of depositing a film on a substrate disposed in a substrate reaction chamber, the method comprising depositing a first portion of a thin film by forming a high density plasma from a first gaseous mixture flowing into the reaction chamber; then stopping the deposition process and etching the first portion of the deposited film by flowing a halogen etchant into the reaction chamber; next, passivating the surface of the etched film by flowing a passivating gas into the reaction chamber, and then depositing a second portion of the thin film on the first portion by forming a high-density plasma from a second gaseous mixture flowing into the reaction chamber; in one embodiment, the passivation gas consists of an oxygen source that is free of inert gas.
However, the above patent is mainly directed to the problem of void generation in the center of the gap due to the difficulty in film deposition caused by too high aspect ratio when the high aspect ratio gap-filling film is used. The redundant film at the gap entrance is etched into an inclined surface shape (or called a funnel shape), so that the material deposited again later can be filled into the gap, and the hollow at the center of the gap is avoided. Although this patent is effective in solving the void filling problem of high aspect ratio gaps, it does not solve well the void problem that occurs during film filling for low (or medium) aspect ratio gaps.
In the prior art, the isolation trench thin film filling structure includes a pre-filled layer 301 covering the sidewall and bottom of the isolation trench, and a high density plasma oxide layer 402 covering the pre-filled layer 301 and filling the isolation trench. As shown in fig. 1, during normal filling, a void 401 should not occur between the pre-filling layer 301 and the high-density plasma oxide layer 402, so that the metal bit line 501 formed later should work normally, and a phenomenon such as a short circuit is not easy to occur, so that a Device (Device) fails. However, with continued reference to fig. 1, due to the limitations of the prior art, voids 401 often occur between the pre-filled layer 301 and the high-density plasma oxide layer 402, so that the metal bit line 501 is easily shorted during the subsequent formation of the metal bit line 501, resulting in device failure.
Therefore, how to avoid the void generated in the high/low aspect ratio isolation trench during the film filling process, so that the metal bit line formed later is easy to generate short circuit to cause device failure is a problem to be solved.

Detailed Description
Other advantages and effects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following disclosure, which describes the embodiments of the present invention with reference to specific examples. The invention may be practiced or carried out in other embodiments that depart from the specific details, and the details of the present description may be modified or varied from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
In the background art, as for the problem of the void 401 shown in fig. 1, the inventors have found through intensive studies that the void 401 is often generated between the pre-filled layer 301 and the high density plasma oxide layer 402 because, after the pre-filled material is formed on the semiconductor substrate 100, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the pre-filled material at the corner a of the isolation trench step protrudes, i.e., the thickness of the pre-filled material at the corner a of the isolation trench step is greater than that at the side wall of the isolation trench, thereby causing that when the high density plasma oxide material is formed, as shown in fig. 4, the bond between the high density plasma oxide material 400 and the pre-filled material 300 is poor, so that the void 401 is easily generated at the contact position between the high density plasma oxide material 400 and the pre-filled material 300, thereby obtaining the isolation trench thin film filling structure as shown in fig. 5, and it is not difficult to find that the position between the side wall of the high density plasma oxide layer 402 and the pre-filled layer 301 at the corner of the isolation trench step in fig. 5 has the void 401, so that in the subsequent process of forming the metal bit line will be filled with metal, so that the metal bit line will easily cause the failure of the device.
Referring to fig. 6 to 17, a first embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for preparing an isolation trench film filling structure. It should be noted that, the illustrations provided in the present embodiment merely illustrate the basic concept of the present invention by way of illustration, and only the components related to the present invention are shown in the drawings and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation, and the form, number and proportion of each component in actual implementation may be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may be more complex.
As shown in fig. 6 to 17, the method for manufacturing the isolation trench thin film filling structure of the present embodiment at least includes the steps of:
in step S1, a semiconductor substrate 100 is provided, wherein an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 100 includes a device region and a peripheral region surrounding the device region, a plurality of array trenches 102 in the device region and a peripheral trench 101 in the peripheral region are formed on the semiconductor substrate 100, and a width of the peripheral trench 101 is more than twice a cell width of the array trenches 102.
In step S2, a pre-filling material 300 is formed on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 100, the pre-filling material 300 further covers the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 100 and the sidewalls and bottom of the peripheral trench 101, the pre-filling material 300 further fills the array trench 102 to define a plurality of active regions, the pre-filling material 300 is formed with a necking neck 302 at the opening end of the peripheral trench 101, and the opening aperture of the necking neck 302 is smaller than the middle aperture of the pre-filling material 300 at the middle position of the peripheral trench 101.
Step S3, pre-etching the pre-filling material 300 to remove the necking neck 302 of the pre-filling material 300.
In step S4, a high-density plasma oxide material 400 is formed on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 100, the high-density plasma oxide material 400 further covers the pre-formed filling material 300, and the peripheral trench 101 is filled in a void-free manner.
In step S5, the high-density plasma oxide material 400 and the pre-fill material 300 of the peripheral trench 101 on the semiconductor substrate 100 are removed to obtain a high-density plasma oxide layer 402 and a pre-fill layer 301 within the peripheral trench 101.
It should be noted that, the pre-filling material 300 can improve its own morphology by pre-etching, so that the thickness of the pre-filling material at the step corner a of the peripheral trench 101 is less than or equal to the thickness of the pre-filling material at the sidewall of the peripheral trench 101, thereby avoiding the formation of voids between the high-density plasma oxide material 400 and the pre-filling material 300 during the formation of the high-density plasma oxide material 400, which may cause a short circuit of the metal bit lines formed later.
In addition, before forming the pre-filling material 300, the method for manufacturing the isolation trench thin film filling structure of the present embodiment further includes:
A passivation layer 201 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 100, the passivation layer 201 covering the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 100.
As an example, referring to fig. 7 to 11, each step of forming the isolation trench thin film filling structure in the peripheral trench 101 in the method for manufacturing the isolation trench thin film filling structure of the present embodiment is specifically described below:
first, step S1 is performed to provide a semiconductor substrate 100, wherein the peripheral trench 101 is formed in such a manner that an upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 100 includes a device region and a peripheral region surrounding the device region as shown in fig. 7, and the semiconductor substrate 100 is provided with the peripheral trench 101 in the peripheral region.
In the present embodiment, the semiconductor substrate 100 includes, but is not limited to, a silicon substrate.
Next, before executing step S2, the method for preparing the isolation trench thin film filling structure of the present embodiment further includes: a passivation layer 201 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 100, the passivation layer 201 covering the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 100 as shown in fig. 7.
In this embodiment, nitride is used for the passivation layer 201.
As a preferred embodiment, siN is used for the passivation layer 201.
Next, step S2 is performed to form a pre-filling material 300 on the semiconductor substrate 100, where the pre-filling material 300 covers the upper surface of the passivation layer 201 and the sidewalls and bottom of the peripheral trench 101, and the pre-filling material 300 forms a necking neck 302 at the opening end of the peripheral trench 101, and the opening aperture of the necking neck 302 is smaller than the middle aperture of the pre-filling material 300 at the middle position of the peripheral trench 101, as shown in fig. 8.
In this embodiment, the pre-filled material 300 may be formed using a high density plasma deposition process, a plasma enhanced deposition process, an atmospheric/low pressure chemical vapor deposition process, a spin-on deposition process, or a surface oxidation process. Of course, the forming method of the preliminary filling material 300 is not limited thereto, and may be designed and adjusted according to actual needs.
It should be noted that the pre-filled material 300 may also protect the semiconductor substrate 100 from damage to the semiconductor substrate 100 during subsequent etching and deposition steps.
Next, step S3 is performed to pre-etch the pre-filled material 300 to remove the neck-down 302 of the pre-filled material 300, as shown in fig. 9.
The pre-filling material 300 improves its shape by pre-etching, so that the thickness of the pre-filling material at the step corner a of the peripheral trench 101 is less than or equal to the thickness of the pre-filling material at the sidewall of the peripheral trench 101, that is, the pre-filling material 300 can remove the necking 302 by pre-etching, as shown in fig. 9, so as to avoid forming a cavity between the high-density plasma oxide material 400 and the pre-filling material 300 when forming the high-density plasma oxide material 400, thereby causing a short circuit of a metal bit line formed subsequently. Since the profile of the pre-filled material 300 is improved by pre-etching, the thickness of the pre-filled material at the step corner of the peripheral trench 101 is smaller than or equal to the thickness of the pre-filled material at the sidewall of the peripheral trench 101, and the necking 302 is removed, so that the bond between the high-density plasma oxide material 400 and the pre-filled material 300 is good, and the void is not easy to form, thereby avoiding the problem of the short circuit of the metal bit line formed later.
Next, step S4 is performed to form a high-density plasma oxide material 400 on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 100, where the high-density plasma oxide material 400 further covers the pre-filled material 300 and fills the peripheral trench 101 in a void-free manner, as shown in fig. 10.
In this embodiment, the high-density plasma concentration range used in forming the high-density plasma oxide material 400 is 10E10E/cm or more 3
Finally, step S5 is performed to remove the high-density plasma oxide material 400 and the pre-filled material 300 on the semiconductor substrate 100 of the peripheral trench 101, so as to obtain the high-density plasma oxide layer 402 and the pre-filled layer 301 located in the peripheral trench 101, as shown in fig. 11, thereby obtaining the isolation trench film filling structure without voids.
As shown in fig. 11, in the step of forming the high-density plasma oxide layer 402 and the pre-filling layer 301, it includes:
the high-density plasma oxide material 400 and the pre-filling material 300 are sequentially etched until the upper surface of the passivation layer 201 is exposed, so that the high-density plasma oxide material 400 and the pre-filling material 300 outside the peripheral trench 101 are removed, and the peripheral trench 101 is filled with the residual parts of the high-density plasma oxide material 400 and the pre-filling material 300 to obtain the high-density plasma oxide layer 402 and the pre-filling layer 301, so that a void-free isolation trench film filling structure is formed.
The isolation trench thin film fill structure as shown in fig. 11 is finally formed by the above steps.
In addition, in the step of pre-etching the pre-filling material 300, the pre-filling layer at the step corner of the peripheral trench 101 is also cut off, so that the step corner of the peripheral trench 101 forms a chamfer, and the structure shown in fig. 12 is obtained, and the position B in fig. 12 is the structure after the pre-filling layer 301 at the step corner of the peripheral trench 101 is cut off and then is filled with the high-density plasma oxide layer 402. It will be appreciated that the presence of the chamfer can further enlarge the open aperture of the pre-filled layer 301 at the open end of the peripheral trench 101, thereby avoiding the formation of a necking neck 302 of too small an aperture.
In addition, in the present embodiment, in the step of pre-etching the pre-filling material 300, it includes: the pre-fabricated fill material 300 is etched using a high density plasma etch process while maintaining an etch pressure of 10-40 mtorr. It should be noted that if the etching pressure is greater than 50mtorr or less than 10mtorr, it will be easy to cut the pre-filled material 300 at the step corners of the peripheral trench 101 to form a chamfer.
