Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing technologies, and in particular, to a method for manufacturing a gate.
Background
The HKMG process, such as 28nm HKMG, requires the simultaneous formation of a high dielectric constant (HK) gate dielectric layer and a Metal Gate (MG), and the post metal gate process is generally used in the conventional HKMG process. In the post-metal gate process, a gate dielectric layer, a channel region and a source drain region of a device are usually formed by adopting a polysilicon gate (Poly) of a Dummy gate structure, namely Dummy polysilicon gate (Dummy Poly), and then replacement of a metal gate is performed, namely, the polysilicon gate of the Dummy gate structure is removed (Dummy Poly remove, DPR), and then the removed region of the polysilicon gate is filled with metal to form the metal gate. Before removing the polysilicon gate, 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 removing the polysilicon gate. In addition, the density and size of the polysilicon gate on the semiconductor substrate often vary, and specifically, referring to fig. 1a, fig. 1a is a schematic view of a device structure in one conventional gate manufacturing process, as shown in fig. 1a, the semiconductor substrate 100 includes an open region 110, an isolated pattern region (ISO)120 and a dense pattern region (dense) 130, and the device density gradually increases. The dummy polysilicon gate structure includes a gate dielectric layer 210, a polysilicon gate 220, and a hard mask layer 230 formed of a first nitride layer 231 and a second oxide layer 232. And the polysilicon gate comprises a large-sized polysilicon gate and a small-sized polysilicon gate.
The conventional process for removing the oxide layer of the hard mask layer includes: step one, forming a photoresist 310; step two, opening the photoresist on the bulk polysilicon gate through a photolithography process, as shown in a device structure diagram of one of the existing gate manufacturing processes shown in fig. 1 b; step three, opening the photoresist on the rest polysilicon gates through an Etch Back (EB) of Photoresist (PR), namely EB1, mainly in order to overcome the photoresist load (loading) on the bulk polysilicon gates, wherein all the polysilicon gates are already opened, as shown in fig. 1c, which is a schematic view of a device structure in one of the existing gate manufacturing processes; step four, a second etching back process, i.e. EB2, is performed to remove the second oxide layer 232 of the hard mask layer, as shown in fig. 1d, which is a schematic device structure diagram of one of the existing gate manufacturing processes. In the 28nm HKMG process, in order to avoid damage (damage) to other regions such as the active region in the process of removing the oxide layer of the hard mask layer of the polysilicon gate, the other regions are protected by a photoresist, and after EB1, the residual amount of the photoresist on the small polysilicon gate needs to be paid special attention, which is too high, so that the photoresist on the polysilicon gate is not completely opened, and the hard mask layer cannot be completely removed; however, too low photoresist tends to result in no protection of the silicon germanium (SGe) on the surface of the Active Area (AA) on both sides of the polysilicon gate, and even no protection of the AA by the photoresist, which may eventually result in nickel silicide (Nisi) or SiGe dam, resulting in a thinner photoresist in the ISO region and thus insufficient process windows of OX residual and SiGe film dam in the dry etching process. This is mainly due to the difference in height of the photoresist in different regions, as shown in FIG. 1a, the photoresist 310 is 110nm above the dummy gate structure H1 in the dense pattern region (dense) 130, and 160nm above the substrate H1 in the open region 110. And the height of the top of the photoresist decreases in order from the dense pattern region (dense) 130, the isolated pattern region (ISO)120 to the open region 110.
In contrast, the main solution in the prior art is to increase the thickness of the photoresist as much as possible to reduce the loading effect of the photoresist filling so as to make up for the problem of insufficient process windows of OX residual and SiGe file data in the dry etching process, but the practical product shows that the problem is difficult to reduce by thickening the photoresist due to the fact that the ISO region is too large.

Specifically, referring to fig. 2a to 2c, fig. 2a to 2c are schematic device structures of a gate manufacturing process according to an embodiment of the invention. The method for manufacturing the grid electrode comprises the following steps:
s1: as shown in fig. 2a, a semiconductor substrate 1000 is provided, a gate dielectric layer 2100 and a polysilicon gate 2200 are sequentially formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1000, a field oxide layer 1010 is formed in the semiconductor substrate 1000, an active region is isolated by the field oxide layer 1010, and a hollow region 1100, an isolated pattern region (ISO)1200 and a dense pattern region (dense) 1300 are respectively located in different active regions.
The semiconductor substrate 1000 is a silicon substrate.
The gate dielectric layer 2100 includes a high dielectric constant layer.
And the device densities of the open region 1100, the isolated pattern region (ISO)1200, and the dense pattern region (dense) 1300 gradually increase. And the polysilicon gates include large-sized polysilicon gates and small-sized polysilicon gates, for example, the polysilicon gates in the isolated pattern region (ISO)1200 are large-sized polysilicon gates, and the polysilicon gates in the dense pattern region (dense) 1300 are small-sized polysilicon gates.
The field oxide layer 1010 is shallow trench field oxide and is formed by a shallow trench isolation process.
S2: as shown in fig. 2a, a hard mask layer 2300 is formed on the surface of the polysilicon gate 2200, wherein the hard mask layer 2300 is formed by overlapping a first nitride layer 2310 and a second oxide layer 2320.
S3: as shown in fig. 2a, photolithography and etching are performed to form a plurality of dummy gate structures, and each of the dummy gate structures is formed by stacking the etched gate dielectric layer 2100, the etched polysilicon gate 2200, and the hard mask layer 2300.
S4: as shown in fig. 2a, a sidewall spacer 2400 is formed on a side surface of each of the dummy gate structures.
The material of the sidewall spacer 2400 includes a nitride layer.
S5: and forming a source region and a drain region of the device in the active regions at two sides of the pseudo gate structure, wherein the forming process of the source region and the drain region of the device comprises an assembly enhancement process, and the assembly enhancement process forms a germanium-silicon layer (SiGe) in the source region or the drain region of the p-type field effect transistor.
S6: as shown in fig. 2a, a photoresist 3100 is formed, wherein the photoresist 3100 is between 15nm and 25nm higher than the dummy gate structure in the dense pattern region (density)1300 and between 90nm and 110nm higher than the substrate in the open region 1100.
More specifically, the top height of the photoresist decreases in order from the dense pattern region (dense) 1300, the isolated pattern region (ISO)1200, to the open region 1100.
I.e. the invention employs a method of reducing the thickness of the photoresist compared to the prior art. As shown in fig. 1a of the prior art, the photoresist 310 is higher than the dummy gate structure 110nm in the dense pattern region (density)130 and higher than the substrate 160nm in the open region 110. Therefore, the thickness of the photoresist formed by the present invention S6 is greatly reduced compared to the prior art.
More specifically, in one embodiment, the photoresist 3100 is 20nm higher than the dummy gate structure in the dense pattern region (dense) 1300 and 100nm higher than the semiconductor substrate in the open region 1100.
S7: as shown in fig. 2b, a first Etch Back (EB) of the Photoresist (PR) is performed, EB1, to open the photoresist on all the polysilicon gates.
Due to the fact that the photoresist formed in S6 is thinner, the strength of the first photoresist etch-back process of the present application may also be reduced correspondingly compared to the prior art, for example, the strength of the first photoresist etch-back process may be reduced by reducing the etching time or power of the first photoresist etch-back process.
The dry etch process intensity of EB1 for removing the top layer photoresist of polysilicon gate can be reduced accordingly due to the thinner photoresist, so that less photoresist can be consumed in ISO region EB1, so as to increase the defect window of the subsequent EB 2.
The first etch back of the photoresist, EB1, etches away 145nm of photoresist as shown in prior art figure 1 c. As shown in fig. 2b, the 45nm to 65nm photoresist is etched by the first etching back EB1, and more specifically, the 55nm photoresist is etched by the first etching back EB 1.
S8: as shown in fig. 2c, an Etch Back (EB) of the second Photoresist (PR) is performed, EB2, to remove the second oxide layer 2320 of the hard mask layer.
S9: and removing the polysilicon gate, and forming a metal gate in the removal region of the polysilicon gate.
In an embodiment of the present invention, between S6 and S7, S61 may be further included: and opening the photoresist on the large polysilicon gate through a photoetching process.
As mentioned above, the inventor of the present application reversely thinks, compared to the conventional manner of the prior art, that the prior art uses an increased photoresist thickness by using the ISO region loading effect, but the thickening ratio of the method to the ISO region is low, the inventor reversely thinks uses a decreased photoresist thickness, so that the decreasing rate of the photoresist in the ISO region is correspondingly slow to achieve the effect of decreasing the difference in the photoresist thickness in different regions; and because the photoresist is thinned, the dry etching program intensity of removing the photoresist on the top layer of the polysilicon gate by EB1 can be correspondingly reduced, so that less photoresist can be consumed in an ISO region EB1, the defect window of the subsequent EB2 can be increased, the problem of insufficient process windows of OX residual and SiGe file dam in the dry etching process can be solved, and the defect problem of the HK28 photoresist back etching (PREB) process after the dry etching process can be improved.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and not to limit the same; while the invention has been described in detail and with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; and the modifications or the substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions depart from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
