S3: Fig. 1 c, the deposition of polysilicon plug 1-2 are referred to;
S4: referring to Fig. 1 d, planarizes surface using chemical mechanical grinding (CMP).
However in above-mentioned technique, have the following deficiencies:
Using dry etching return carve oxide 1-1 when, due in each channel hole return carve depth it is uneven, cause The depth that subsequent polysilicon plug deposits in each channel is uneven, i.e., deposit depth is inconsistent;And polysilicon plug is heavy Product depth will affect the cut-in voltage (Vt) of top selection gate (TSG);The deposit depth of polysilicon plug in multiple channel holes The inconsistent cut-in voltage that will lead to top selection gate (TSG) is unevenly distributed.
With specific reference to shown in Fig. 2, wherein the height of top selection gate (TSG) to oxide top is defined as H3 (BL- B), the height and at the top of oxide top to polysilicon plug is defined as H2 (BL-T), the unlatching electricity of top selection gate (TSG) Press (Vt) higher for the susceptibility of H2/H3, the inconsistent of ratio leads to selection gate (TSG) cut-in voltage at the top of each section It is inconsistent, as shown in Figure 3.
This inconsistent performance that will affect 3D nand flash memory entirety, therefore, how to effectively control the filling of oxide and The depth consistency of etching and polysilicon plug is endeavoured always the direction of research by those skilled in the art.
Summary of the invention
It is deep by improving the purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of polysilicon plug forming method for improving depth consistency It spends consistency and keeps the consistency of the cut-in voltage of top selection gate more preferable, to improve the performance of 3D nand flash memory.
To achieve the goals above, the invention proposes it is a kind of improve depth consistency polysilicon plug forming method, The following steps are included:
The substrate stacked structure for having channel hole is provided;
The filling of plug oxide is carried out in channel hole, and plug oxide skin(coating) is also formed on stacked structure;
Planarization process is carried out, removes the plug oxide skin(coating) above stacked structure, and terminate at stacked structure top layer Medium of oxides layer;
Deposition forms the polysilicon of plug;
The ion implanting of p type doping is carried out to the polysilicon for forming plug;
Photoresist is coated, and forms photoengraving pattern;The photoengraving pattern be upper surface step structure (Stair Step, SS) formed on contact zone by the top of channel hole and the photoetching band with a photoetching critical size;
The ion implanting of the N type doping (N+) of high concentration is carried out in the photoetching banded zone;
The extra photoresist in removal top.
Further, the oxide, which is filled with, fills (ALD) using atomic layer deposition method.
Further, the planarization process is using chemical mechanical grinding processing (CMP).
Further, the plug oxide is ethyl orthosilicate (TEOS).
Further, the polysilicon for forming plug that deposits is using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD).
Further, the photoetching critical size is 40nm bigger than the critical size of existing polysilicon plug;And Aligning degree (OVL) it is less than 15nm.
Compared with prior art, the beneficial effects are mainly reflected as follows:
First, since there is no use go back to the step of carving plug oxide, polysilicon plug bottom to top selection gate (TSG) height is exactly the thickness after plug oxide deposition film, and therefore, depth consistency is more preferable in each channel hole.
Second, and polysilicon plug itself is using the thickness of the polysilicon film of low-pressure chemical vapor deposition, therefore, each ditch The depth consistency of polysilicon plug is more preferable in road hole.
Third forms p type polysilicon matrix by the way of the injection of p type Doped ions, for controlling top selection The cut-in voltage (Vt) of grid (TSG), consistency is more preferable.
4th, photoetching band is formed on channel hole top using photo etched mask, and carry out the ion note of N type doping (N+) Enter, so that the mode for forming PN junction, which substitutes the method that existing time is carved plug oxide and deposit polycrystalline silicon, improves polysilicon plug The consistency of depth.
5th, due to the raising of polysilicon plug depth consistency, thus the cut-in voltage of top selection gate (TSG) (Vt) consistency is more preferable, to improve the performance of 3D nand flash memory.
