Description

氮化钛膜制备方法和装置
技术领域
本发明涉及一种半导体集成电路的制造方法,特别是涉及一种氮化钛膜制备方法和装置。
背景技术
在半导体器件的制造中,氮化钛(TiN)由于良好的导电性,良好的热稳定性成为半导体器件领域多用途材料。如氮化钛作为扩散阻挡层防止钨扩散到氧化层和硅衬底,同时在HKMG(high-k metal-gate)工艺中氮化钛也作为附着层附着于氧化层表面,用于金属栅电极层等用途。
氮化钛膜采用ALD成膜方法具有良好的阶梯覆盖层被广泛应用。ADL氮化钛膜的成膜方法是通过交替供给原料气体四氯化钛(TiCl4)气体和作为氮化气体的氨气(NH3),通过将其反复规定次数,形成规定膜厚的氮化钛膜。
在现有技术中,氮化钛膜的厚度在不断减薄,常用2~3nm以下的极薄膜,专利文献CN107978541A报道,通过使用TiCl4气体和NH3气体的ALD法成膜氮化钛膜时,存在膜厚越薄而膜中的氯残留浓度越高的趋势。主要是因为膜厚越薄,膜厚中残留的氯浓度比例相对变高。由于该残留氯浓度的比例高,会导致薄氮化钛膜与厚氮化钛膜相比电阻率变大,特别是在膜厚1.5nm以下的极薄膜中,残留氯的比例较高。如图1所示。
通常是通过增加NH3气体的流量,能够使残留的氯浓度降低,但是通过排气泵的能力而流过的流量有限制,与残留氯反应的数量有限,难以获得充分的降低残留氯浓度的效果。
发明内容
本发明所要解决的技术问题是,如何使膜厚减薄的氮化钛膜中,降低含氯浓度,形成低电阻率的氮化钛膜。
本发明提供一种氮化钛膜制备方法,通过原子层沉积法在硅片上沉积氮化钛膜,采用多次循环形成所述氮化钛膜,所述多次循环包括以下步骤:
S1,在腔体内放入硅片,通过第一气体管路通入钛原料气体,使其与所述硅片的硅衬底发生化学吸附,直至所述硅衬底表面达到饱和;
S2,通入惰性气体进行吹扫,将过剩的反应物从系统中抽出清除;
S3,通入氢离子到所述腔体内,与所述硅衬底中残留的氯反应形成氯化氢气体;
S4,通入惰性气体进行吹扫,将过剩的反应物从系统中抽出清除;
S5,通过第二气体管路通入氮化气体,使之和所述衬底上被吸附的所述钛原料发生反应;
S6,通入惰性气体进行吹扫,将过剩的反应物和反应副产品从系统中抽出清除。
可选地,所述步骤S1中,所述钛原料气体为四氯化钛。
可选地,所述步骤S5中,所述氮化气体为氨气。
可选地,所述惰性气体为氮气。
可选地,所述硅片的成膜温度控制为300℃至550℃范围。
可选地,所述步骤S2、S4、S6的所述吹扫的时间为5至8秒。
本发明还提供一种氮化钛膜制备装置,通过原子层沉积法在硅片上沉积氮化钛膜,采用如权利要求1至6中任一项的所述氮化钛膜制备方法。
本发明还提供一种存储介质,其存储有在计算机上运行的用于控制氮化钛膜制备方法的程序,所述程序使计算机控制执行如权利要求1至6中任一项的所述氮化钛膜制备方法。
本发明与现有技术相比,无需使NH3气体的流量增加,就可以得到残留氯的去除效果,即使是薄氮化钛膜,也能够降低膜中的氯浓度。从而降低电阻率。另外,为了得到同样的电阻率,NH3气体的流量能够比现有技术中变少。

图3为具体实施方案与现有技术对比示意图。
