Description

利用表面保护物质的薄膜形成方法
技术领域
本发明涉及薄膜形成方法，更详细地，该薄膜形成方法形成很薄厚度的薄膜，从而薄膜厚度及台阶覆盖率控制容易。
背景技术
DRAM器件通过革新技术的开发持续微细化，已达到10nm时代。与此相随，为了改善性能及可靠性，即使电容尺寸变小也需要充分维持高静电容量和低漏电特性，还要求击穿电压(breakdown voltage)也高。
以往，在把单一氧化锆膜用作MIM电容的介电膜时，虽然等价氧化膜厚度特性(Toxeq)良好，但漏电特性脆弱。为了克服这些问题，广泛使用ZrO2/Al2O3/ZrO2等复合高介电膜(combined high dielectric layer)。
但是，这些介电膜的厚度比ZrO2介电膜厚，所以Toxeq特性不好。另外，ZAZ结构的Al2O3作为阻止电容漏电的结构，当厚度过大时，静电容量变小；厚度过小时，漏电增加，所以需要适当控制厚度。
因此，为了维持一定的电容及漏电特性，不仅需要开发符合特性的物质，还需要使得电容介电膜超薄膜化。
发明内容
所要解决的课题
本发明的目的在于，提供一种能够形成很薄厚度薄膜的薄膜形成方法。
本发明的其它目的在于，提供一种能够形成台阶覆盖率良好的薄膜的薄膜形成方法。

现有的前驱体单独工序，由于在高纵横比(例如40：1以上)的沟槽结构中，上部(或入口侧)的薄膜增厚、且下部(或内部侧)的薄膜变薄等薄膜不均匀情形，存在台阶覆盖率不良的问题。
但是，下面说明的表面保护物质具有与金属前驱体相同的作为，在沟槽的上部以比下部高的密度吸附的状态下，妨碍后续工序的金属前驱体被吸附，由此能在沟槽内形成均匀厚度的薄膜。

在上述<化学式3>，R1、R2及R3相互不同、且每一个各自从碳原子数1～6的烷基、碳原子数1～6的二烷基胺或碳原子数1～6的环状胺基中选择。
若举例说明，前面说明的表面保护物质在沟槽的上部比下部更致密地被吸附，金属前驱体不能吸附到已吸附有表面保护物质的位置。即，过去，金属前驱体在沟槽的上部比下部更致密地被吸附而表现出高密度，但是如本实施例，表面保护物质在沟槽的上部被致密地吸附而妨碍金属前驱体的吸附，因此金属前驱体不会过度吸附于沟槽的上部，而是在沟槽的上部/下部均匀地吸附，可以改善后述的薄膜的台阶覆盖率。
接着，在腔体内部供给净化气体(例如，诸如Ar的惰性气体)，去除或净化未吸附金属前驱体或副产物。
然后，基板暴露于供给到腔体内部的反应物质中，在基板的表面形成薄膜。反应物质与金属前驱体层反应而形成薄膜，反应物质可以是O3、O2、H2O气体，通过反应物质，可以形成金属氧化膜。这时，反应物质氧化所吸附的保护物质，并从基板的表面分离去除。
然后，向腔体内部供给净化气体(例如，诸如Ar的惰性气体)，去除或净化未吸附表面保护物质/未反应物质或副产物。
另外，前面说明了在金属前驱体之前供给表面保护物质，但是不同于此，可以在金属前驱体之后供给表面保护物质，或者是在表面保护物质之前及之后全部供给金属前驱体。
——比较例1
不使用前面说明的表面保护物质，在硅基板上形成了氧化铝膜。通过原子层沉积工序形成了氧化铝膜，原子层沉积工序温度为250～390℃，反应物质使用了O3气体。
利用原子层沉积工序的氧化铝膜形成过程如下。将下面的过程作为一周期进行。
1)将Ar作为载体气体，在常温下向反应腔供给铝前驱体(Trimethylaluminium)，以在基板吸附铝前驱体。
2)向反应腔内供给Ar气，去除未吸附铝前驱体或副产物。
3)将O3气体供给到反应腔，形成单层。
4)向反应腔内供给Ar气，去除未反应物质或副产物。
对通过如上过程得到的氧化铝膜的厚度进行测量的结果，ALD工序的每一周期获得的氧化铝膜的厚度在300～350℃下大约为
Figure BDA0003738802220000071
周期。
图3是根据本发明的比较例1的按工序温度表示氧化铝膜的GPC(周期生长率(Growth Per Cycle))的图表。如图3所示，在基板温度250～390℃范围内，表现出几乎没有随基板温度上升的GPC变化的理想的ALD作为。
——比较例2
将具有一个醚基的物质用作表面保护物质，在硅基板上形成了铝氧化物膜。通过原子层沉积工序形成氧化铝膜，原子层沉积工序温度使用了250～390℃，反应物质使用了O3气体。
基于原子层沉积工序的氧化铝膜形成过程如下。将下列过程作为一周期进行(参考图1及图2)。
1)向反应腔内供给表面保护物质吸附于基板。
2)向反应腔内供给Ar气体，去除未吸附表面保护物质或副产物。
3)将Ar作为载体气体，在常温下将铝前驱体TMA(Trimethylaluminium)供给到反应腔，在基板吸附铝前驱体。
4)向反应腔内供给Ar气体，去除未吸附铝前驱体或副产物。
5)向反应腔供给O3气体，形成单层。
6)向反应腔内供给Ar气体，去除未反应物质或副产物。
把具有一个醚基的物质用作表面保护物质的结果，GPC减小率在320℃和350℃下分别为10.42％、13.81％，结果，把具有一个醚基的物质用作表面保护物质的情况下，表现出了10～13％程度的低GPC减小率。
——实施例1
除了将表面保护物质从具有一个醚基的物质变更为具有多个醚基的TMOA(Trimethyl Orthoacetate)之外，以与比较例2相同的方法形成了氧化铝膜。
图4是根据本发明的比较例1、2及实施例1的按工序温度表示氧化铝膜的GPC的图表。表面保护物质使用TMOA的结果，GPC减小率在300℃和350℃下分别为39.82％、44.70％，结果，当将具有多个醚基的物质用作表面保护物质时，表现出了39～44％程度的高GPC减小率。这被认为是具有多个醚基的表面保护物质的情况下，与具有一个醚基的表面保护物质相比，对基板的吸附力增加(或密度增加)，从而表现出高GPC减小效果。
作为结论，表面保护物质通过高吸附性能表现出了高GPC减小效果，由此能够形成比可通过现有ALD工艺获得的一个单层厚度更薄且无杂质高纯度的薄膜。由此，其薄膜生长速度非常慢，因此能够容易调节薄膜厚度，能够控制台阶覆盖率，同时能够提高器件的电特性及可靠性。
以上通过实施例详细地说明了本发明，但是与此不同形态的实施例也是可以的。因此，下面记载的权利要求的技术思想和范围不限于实施例。
工业实用性
本发明能够应用于多种形态的半导体制造方法中。
