Description
技术领域
本发明涉及半导体制造领域,尤其涉及一种半导体器件及其形成方法。
背景技术
随着半导体集成电路工艺技术的不断进步,当半导体器件缩小至深亚微米的范围时,半导体器件之间的高性能、高密度连接需要通过互联结构实现。互联结构中易形成寄生电阻和寄生电容,从而出现寄生效应,导致金属连线传递的时间延迟,人们面临着如何克服由于连接长度的急速增长而带来的RC(R指电阻,C指电容)延迟显著增加的问题。
为了克服互联中的寄生效应,在大规模集成电路后段工艺互联的集成工艺中,一方面,寄生电容正比于互联层绝缘介质的相对介电常数K,因此使用低K材料尤其是超低介电常数(Ultra-low dielectric constant,ULK)的材料代替传统的SiO2介质材料已成为满足高速芯片的发展的需要,另一方面,由于铜具有较低的电阻率、优越的抗电迁移特性和高的可靠性,能够降低金属的互连电阻,进而减小总的互连延迟效应,现已由常规的铝互连改变为低电阻的铜互连。

附图说明
图1是一种半导体器件的结构示意图;
图2至图12是本发明一实施例中半导体器件形成过程的结构示意图。
具体实施方式
正如背景技术所述,现有技术形成的半导体器件的性能较差。
图1是一种半导体器件的结构示意图,半导体器件包括:基底100,所述基底100内具有底层金属层110;位于所述基底100上的介质层120;贯穿所述介质层120的互联层开口,所述互联层开口暴露出底层金属层110,所述互联层开口包括接触孔和位于接触孔上的沟槽;位于所述互联层开口中的导电层130。
然而,上述半导体器件的电学性能较差,经研究发现,原因在于:
所述接触孔中的导电层130用于电学连接底层金属层110和沟槽中的导电层。所述接触孔中的导电层130在平行于底层金属层110至导电层130顶部表面的方向上进行电流传导。所述接触孔中导电层130中的电流流过的横截面积小于沟槽中导电层130中的电流流过的横截面积。
在此基础上,随着半导体器件特征尺寸的减小,接触孔中导电层130在传导电流的过程中,接触孔中导电层130的电流密度过大,导致接触孔中导电层130的电流拥挤效应较为严重。
为了解决上述问题,本发明提供一种半导体器件的形成方法,包括:提供基底和位于基底上的介质层,所述基底内具有底层金属层;在所述介质层中形成贯穿介质层的互联层开口,所述互联层开口暴露出底层金属层,所述互联层开口包括接触孔和位于接触孔上的沟槽;在所述接触孔中形成第一导电层,自底层金属层至第一导电层顶部表面的方向上,第一导电层的材料具有第一电导率;形成第一导电层后,在所述沟槽中形成第二导电层,在平行于基底顶部表面的方向上,第二导电层的材料具有第二电导率,第一电导率大于第二电导率。
所述方法中,在接触孔中形成第一导电层,所述第一导电层用于连接底层金属层和第二导电层,且第一导电层用于在平行于自底层金属层至第一导电层顶部表面的方向上进行电流传导。在沟槽中形成第二导电层,第二导电层用于在平行于基底表面的方向上进行电流传导。自底层金属层至第一导电层顶部表面的方向上,第一导电层的材料具有第一电导率,在平行于基底顶部表面的方向上,第二导电层的材料具有第二电导率。由于第一电导率大于第二电导率,第一电导率较大,因此使得在第一导电层传导电流的过程中,第一导电层中的电流密度降低。进而改善了第一导电层中的电流拥挤效应。
为使本发明的上述目的、特征和优点能够更为明显易懂,下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施例做详细的说明。
图2至图12是本发明一实施例中半导体器件形成过程的结构示意图。

所述基底200包括半导体衬底和位于半导体衬底上的金属介质层(未图示),所述底层金属层210位于金属介质层中。
所述半导体衬底中还可以具有半导体结构,所述半导体结构为PMOS晶体管、NMOS晶体管、CMOS晶体管、电容器、电阻器或电感器。
所述底层金属层210用于和所述半导体衬底中的半导体结构及待形成的第一导电层相连。

所述介质层230的材料为低K介质材料(低K介质材料指相对介电常数大于等于2.6、小于3.9的介质材料)或超低K介质材料(超低K介质材料指相对介电常数小于2.6的介质材料)。所述介质层230的材料为低K介质材料或超低K介质材料时,介质层230的材料为SiOH、SiCOH、FSG(掺氟的二氧化硅)、BSG(掺硼的二氧化硅)、PSG(掺磷的二氧化硅)、BPSG(掺硼磷的二氧化硅)、氢化硅倍半氧烷(HSQ,(HSiO1.5)n)或甲基硅倍半氧烷(MSQ,(CH3SiO1.5)n)。本实施例中,所述介质层230的材料为超低K介质材料,所述超低K介质材料为SiCOH。
接着,在所述介质层230中形成贯穿介质层230的互联层开口,所述互联层开口暴露出底层金属层210,所述互联层开口包括接触孔和位于接触孔上的沟槽。
下面参考图3至图8介绍形成互联层开口的方法。

在其它实施例中,接触孔图形开口的孔径小于或者等于沟槽图形开口的宽度。
参考图7,图7为在图5基础上的示意图,以所述光刻胶层260和掩膜层240为掩膜刻蚀部分厚度的介质层230,在所述介质层230中形成初始接触孔。

在后续以掩膜层240为掩膜刻蚀介质层230的过程中,会继续沿初始接触孔刻蚀初始接触孔底部的介质层230。
接着,参考图8,去除所述光刻胶层260(参考图7)和平坦层250(参考图7);去除所述光刻胶层260和平坦层250后,以所述掩膜层240为掩膜刻蚀介质层230直至暴露出底层金属层210表面,形成互联层开口270。

去除所述沟槽272中的第一导电材料层290的工艺为刻蚀工艺。
在一个实施例中,所述刻蚀工艺为干法刻蚀工艺,所述干法刻蚀工艺采用的气体包括O2、CO2、CO和SO2中的一种或几种的组合。
本实施例中,所述第一导电层291的材料为碳纳米管,所述碳纳米管的延伸方向平行于自底层金属层210至第一导电层291顶部表面的方向。
所述第一导电层291用于在平行于自底层金属层110至第一导电层291顶部表面的方向上进行电流传导。
自底层金属层210至第一导电层291顶部表面的方向上,第一导电层291的材料具有第一电导率。
参考图12,形成第一导电层291后,在所述沟槽272中形成第二导电层300,在平行于基底200顶部表面的方向上,第二导电层300的材料具有第二电导率,第一电导率大于第二电导率。
所述第二导电层300的材料包括金属,如铜。
第二导电层300用于在平行于基底200表面的方向上进行电流传导。
形成所述第二导电层300的方法包括:在所述沟槽272中和介质层230上形成第二导电材料层(未图示);去除介质层230上的第二导电材料层,形成所述第二导电层300。
本实施例中,去除介质层230上的第二导电材料层的工艺为平坦化工艺,如化学机械研磨工艺。在去除介质层230上的第二导电材料层的过程中,去除掩膜层240(参考图11)。
本实施例中,第一导电层291中电流流过的横截面积小于第二导电层300中电流流过的横截面积。
本实施例中,由于第一电导率大于第二电导率,第一电导率较大,因此使得在第一导电层291传导电流的过程中,第一导电层291中的电流密度降低,进而改善了第一导电层291中电流拥挤效应。
相应的,本发明还提供一种采用上述方法形成的半导体器件,请参考图12,包括:基底200,所述基底200内具有底层金属层210;位于所述基底200上的介质层230;贯穿所述介质层230的互联层开口270(参考图8),所述互联层开口270暴露出底层金属层210,所述互联层开口270包括接触孔271和位于接触孔271上的沟槽272;位于所述接触孔271中的第一导电层291,自底层金属层210至第一导电层291顶部表面的方向上,第一导电层291的材料具有第一电导率;位于所述沟槽272中的第二导电层300,在平行于基底200顶部表面的方向上,第二导电层300的材料具有第二电导率,第一电导率大于第二电导率。
所述第一导电层291的材料为碳纳米管,所述碳纳米管的延伸方向平行于自底层金属层210至第一导电层291顶部表面的方向;所述第二导电层300的材料包括金属。
