Description

Method for manufacturing grid
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a gate.
Background
In the HKMG process, such as 28nm HKMG, a gate dielectric layer with a high dielectric constant (HK) and a Metal Gate (MG) are required to be formed at the same time, in the conventional HKMG process, a post-metal gate process is usually adopted, in the post-metal gate process, a Dummy gate structure is usually adopted, a gate dielectric layer, a channel region and a source/drain region of a device are formed by utilizing a polysilicon gate (Poly), i.e., a Dummy polysilicon gate (Dummy Poly), of the Dummy gate structure, and then replacement of the metal gate is performed, i.e., the polysilicon gate of the Dummy gate structure is removed (Dummy Poly remove, DPR), and then the metal gate is formed by filling a region where the polysilicon gate of the Dummy gate structure is removed with metal. Before DPR, a Hard Mask (HM) including an oxide layer is formed on the top of the polysilicon gate, so that the oxide layer of the Hard Mask needs to be removed before DPR.
In the 28nm HKMG process, in order to avoid damage (damage) to other regions such as an active region in the process of removing an oxide layer of a hard mask layer of a polysilicon gate, the other regions are protected by a photolithography, which is a general process: the method comprises the steps of firstly opening photoresist of a large polycrystalline silicon gate through one-step photoetching, then carrying out Etching Back (EB) of the Photoresist (PR), namely EB1, and opening PR on the rest polycrystalline silicon gates, wherein the method is mainly used for overcoming PR load (loading) on the large polycrystalline silicon gate, at the moment, all the polysilicon gates are already opened, then carrying out the etching back process for the second time, namely EB2, removing an oxide layer of a hard mask layer, and finally carrying out silicon nitride (SiN) trimming etching (slim), wherein the SiN is usually used as a side wall (spacer) of the polycrystalline silicon gate, and carrying out side wall pull-down (spacer pull down). After EB1, special attention is paid to the residual amount (Remain) of PR on a small block of poly, which is too high, so that PR on the poly is not completely opened, and HM cannot be completely removed; however, too low PR tends to result in silicon germanium (SGe) on the surface of the Active Area (AA) on both sides of the polysilicon gate and even no PR protection on AA, which eventually results in nickel silicide (Nisi) or SiGe damage. Control of PR remaining after EB1 is important, so it is relatively difficult to remove HM without creating damage. The prior art method will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
as shown in fig. 1A to 1E, the device structure diagram in each step of the conventional method is shown, and the conventional gate manufacturing method includes the following steps:
step one, as shown in fig. 1A, providing a semiconductor substrate 101, and sequentially forming a gate dielectric layer 103 and a polysilicon gate 104 on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 101.
The semiconductor substrate 101 is a silicon substrate.
The gate dielectric layer 103 includes a high dielectric constant layer, and an interface layer is further provided between the high dielectric constant layer and the semiconductor substrate 101.

The existing gate structure, i.e., the component corresponding to the metal gate formed subsequently, includes a core component and an input/output component, which are respectively located in the core region and outside the core region.
The component is a field effect transistor.
The components include n-type Field Effect Transistors (FETs), i.e., nfets, and p-type field effect transistors, i.e., pfets.
Step two, as shown in fig. 1A, forming a hard mask layer on the surface of the polysilicon gate 104; the hard mask layer is formed by stacking a first nitride layer 105 and a second oxide layer 106.
Step three, as shown in fig. 1A, performing photolithography and etching to form a plurality of dummy gate structures, wherein each dummy gate structure is formed by overlapping the etched gate dielectric layer 103, the etched polysilicon gate 104 and the hard mask layer; after etching, the width of the polysilicon gate 104 includes 2.
Step four, as shown in fig. 1A, a sidewall 108 is formed on the side surface of each dummy gate structure.
The material of the sidewall 108 includes a nitride layer, and in fig. 1A, the sidewall 108 further includes an oxide layer, which is shown as a mark 108a in fig. 1E.
And step five, as shown in fig. 1A, forming a source region and a drain region of the device in the active regions at two sides of the dummy gate structure.
An assembly enhancement process is included in the process of forming the source and drain regions of the assembly.
The component enhancement process includes a silicon germanium process. The assembly enhancement process forms a layer of silicon germanium 107 in the source or drain region of the p-type field effect transistor.
The method further comprises the step of forming a nitride layer 109 after the source region and the drain region are formed.
Sixthly, removing the second oxide layer 106 of the hard mask layer, wherein in the existing method, a photoresist etch-back (PREB) process is adopted when removing the second oxide layer 106, specifically:
as shown in fig. 1A, a photoresist pattern 201 is formed by performing a photolithography process, and an open region 202 of the photoresist pattern 201 corresponds to a top region of the polysilicon gate 104 having a larger size.
As shown in fig. 1B, a photoresist back-etching is performed, and the photoresist pattern 201 after the photoresist back-etching exposes the surface of the second oxide layer 106.
As shown in fig. 1C, the second oxide layer 106 is usually removed by a dry etching process, and during the etching process, the photoresist pattern 201 is used to protect the region between the polysilicon gates 104. In actual process, the thickness of the photoresist pattern 201 after PREB is not easily controlled: if the photoresist pattern 201 is thick, the second oxide layer 106 is not easily removed completely; if the thickness of the photoresist pattern 201 is small, the region between the polysilicon gates 104 is not easily protected, as shown in fig. 1C, the region between the polysilicon gates 104 is an active region, and an active region or a drain region is formed in the active region, and a silicon germanium layer 107 is also formed in a part of the active region or the drain region, and a NiSi layer may be formed under other conditions, which may damage these structures.
As shown in fig. 1D, the photoresist pattern 201 is then removed.
As shown in FIG. 1E, a trim etch of silicon nitride (SiN Slim) is performed. After the trimming and etching of the silicon nitride, the nitride layer in the side wall 108 is removed, and only the oxide layer 108a remains in the side wall 108; the silicon nitride layer 9 is also removed.
