Detailed Description
The following description is presented to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the present disclosure, and is provided in the context of a particular application and its requirements. Various modifications to the disclosed embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, the present application is not limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the claims.
The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor structure.
Referring to fig. 1, the semiconductor structure includes a substrate 100, and a first metal adhesion layer 110, a first plate 120, a second metal adhesion layer 130, a dielectric layer 140, a second plate 150 and a third metal adhesion layer 160 are sequentially formed on the substrate 100.
A sputtering Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process is usually used to form the second plate 150 on the surface of the dielectric layer 140, but during the sputtering PVD process, an arc discharge defect (arcing defect) is generated on the wafer surface. Due to the presence of the dielectric layer 140, charges are more likely to accumulate on the surface of the dielectric layer 140, thereby causing the arcing defects to be more serious. The arc discharge defect can cause the problems of short circuit between circuits and capacitor failure, and the product yield and reliability are seriously influenced.
Arc discharge defects are difficult to completely eliminate in a sputtering physical vapor deposition process, and in some semiconductor structure forming methods, arc discharge defects are reduced or alleviated by monitoring plasma in the sputtering physical vapor deposition and adjusting deposition power and deposition rate, but experiments show that the method has no improvement effect on defects of a capacitor. For a product with a metal-dielectric-metal Capacitor (MIM Capacitor) with a high wafer defect level requirement and a large chip size, the conventional method for forming a semiconductor structure cannot meet the requirements for chip yield and reliability.
In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a method for forming a semiconductor structure, after a dielectric layer is formed, a portion of the dielectric layer located in a scribe line region is etched to expose a metal adhesion layer, so that a second plate formed subsequently can contact the metal adhesion layer, thereby taking away charges, preventing the charges from accumulating on the surface of the dielectric layer to form an arc discharge defect, and improving the yield and reliability of a capacitor.

In some embodiments of the present application, the substrate 200 may include, but is not limited to, a semiconductor substrate and corresponding active devices (e.g., metal interconnect layers, etc.) formed on the semiconductor substrate.
Referring to fig. 3, the scribe line region 202 surrounds the chip region 201.
Referring to fig. 4, a first metal adhesion layer 210 is formed on a surface of the substrate 200. The first metal adhesion layer 210 may improve adhesion between the substrate 200 and a subsequently formed first plate 220.

Referring to fig. 6, a second metal adhesion layer 230 is formed on the surface of the first plate 220. The second metal adhesion layer 230 may increase adhesion between the first plate 220 and a subsequently formed dielectric layer.
In some embodiments of the present application, the method of forming the second metal adhesion layer 230 comprises a sputter physical vapor deposition process.

Referring to fig. 7, a dielectric layer 240 is formed on the surface of the second metal adhesion layer 230. The dielectric layer 240 serves as an insulating layer between the upper and lower electrodes of the capacitor.
In some embodiments of the present application, the method for forming the dielectric layer 240 includes a chemical vapor deposition process or a physical vapor deposition process.
In some embodiments of the present application, the material of the dielectric layer 240 includes a low-k dielectric material, such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or silicon oxynitride.
In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the dielectric layer 240 is 400 to 500 angstroms, such as 400, 420, 440, 460, 480, or 500 angstroms.
Referring to fig. 8 to 10, a portion of the dielectric layer 240 in the scribe line region 202 is etched until the second metal adhesion layer 230 is exposed. Exposing the second metal adhesion layer 230 can enable a subsequently formed second electrode plate to contact the second metal adhesion layer 230 to carry away charges generated when the second electrode plate is formed, so that the electric arc discharge defect caused by the accumulation of the charges on the surface of the dielectric layer 240 is avoided, and the yield and the reliability of the capacitor are improved.
In some embodiments of the present application, the method of etching the portion of the dielectric layer 240 in the scribe line region 202 to expose the second metal adhesion layer 230 includes: referring to fig. 8, a patterned photoresist layer 250 is formed on the surface of the dielectric layer 240, and the patterned photoresist layer 250 defines the position of the second metal adhesion layer 240 to be exposed; referring to fig. 9, the dielectric layer 240 is etched using the patterned photoresist layer 250 as a mask until the second metal adhesion layer 230 is exposed to form an opening 260; the patterned photoresist layer 250 is removed.

It should be noted that in the actual etching process, since the etching process is not easy to control, the etching may not stop completely on the surface of the second metal adhesion layer 230, but may etch away a portion of the second metal adhesion layer 230. Thus, in some embodiments, the bottom surface of the opening 260 is coplanar with the top surface of the second metal adhesion layer 230; in other embodiments, the bottom surface of the opening 260 may be lower than the top surface of the second metal adhesion layer 230, and the bottom surface of the opening 260 is not more than 150 angstroms lower than the bottom surface of the second metal adhesion layer 230.
In some embodiments of the present application, the opening 260 is located at a position of a test pad previously designed in the scribe line region 202. The opening 260 is located on the scribe line region 202, and does not affect the structure of the chip region 201; further, the opening 260 is located at a position of a test pad pre-designed in the scribe line region 202, and is compatible with a process of forming a test pad in the scribe line region 202 in a subsequent process, and does not affect other positions of the scribe line region 202.
In some embodiments of the present application, the total area of the openings 260 accounts for 0.1% or more of the total area of the substrate 200. If the number and area of the openings 260 are too small, there may still be charges in the areas of the substrate 200 where the density of the openings 260 is low, resulting in arcing defects, and therefore, the number and area of the openings 260 on the substrate 200 are sufficient.

Because a part of the second plate 270 is in contact with the second metal adhesion layer 230, charges generated in the process of forming the second plate 270 can be taken away by the second metal adhesion layer 230, so that the charges are prevented from accumulating on the surface of the dielectric layer 240 to form an arc discharge defect, and the yield and the reliability of the capacitor are improved.
