As mentioned in the background art, as the integration level of chips is continuously improved, the problems of RC delay, crosstalk noise, power consumption, etc. of chips are more and more serious, and in order to improve the problems, the Low k (Low dielectric constant) technology is applied to the integrated circuit manufacturing process in the prior art, so that the formed Low dielectric material layer can improve the problems. However, in the manufacturing process of forming the low dielectric material layer, the material is often inevitably contacted with air, so that moisture in the air reacts with the material, and further high polar groups such as hydroxyl groups are generated, and the polar groups can affect the dielectric properties of the material, so that the material often has difficulty in reaching the theoretical minimum k value. In order to solve the above technical problems, the applicant of the present application provides a dielectric film, a method for manufacturing the same, and a conductive plug.

By adopting the technical scheme, the fluorine free radicals are doped into the non-silicon-based dielectric film after the non-silicon-based dielectric film with low dielectric constant is formed, so that the dielectric film is formed. Because the dielectric property of the film layer of the dielectric film is related to the polarity of the material forming the film layer, namely the larger the polarity of the material is, the smaller the dielectric constant of the film layer is, on the basis of the dielectric property, after fluorine radicals with low polarity groups are doped in the non-silicon-based dielectric film with low dielectric constant, the fluorine radicals can increase the hydrophobicity of the film layer material, so that the reaction between the film layer material and moisture in the air is reduced, the formation of high polarity groups such as hydroxyl groups is further reduced, and the fluorine radicals are low polarity groups, so that the influence of the fluorine radicals on the dielectric property of the non-silicon-based dielectric film is smaller, the dielectric film can reach the theoretical minimum k value, and the problems of RC time delay, crosstalk noise, power consumption and the like of a chip can be better solved.

Exemplary, the metal organic framework compounds described above may include MOF-5, HKUST-1, UIO-66, and the like, where MOF-5 refers to the presence of Zn 2+ And terephthalic acid (H) 2 BDC) is a three-dimensional framework with a micropore structure, which is formed by connecting a central metal ion and an organic ligand through an octahedron form; HKUST-1 is organic ligand 1,3, 5-pyrogallol and metal ion Cu 2+ Combining to form a blue cubic crystal copper-based ultra-microporous metal framework (MOF); UIO-66, chemical formula C 48 H 28 O 32 Zr 6 Zr is used as a metal center, and terephthalic acid (H) 2 BDC) is a rigid metal-organic framework material of an organic ligand, the covalent organic framework compound may include COF-1, COF-5, etc., wherein COF-1 and COF-5 are both two COFs obtained by self-polymerization of boric acid and polycondensation of boric acid and a polyphenol compound, and the microporous polymer may include self-polymerization microporous Polymer (PIMS), super-crosslinked polymer (HCPs), etc. Optionally, dopeFluorine radicals to the non-silicon based dielectric film may replace hydrogen atoms on benzene rings in the non-silicon based dielectric film and/or adsorb to the material surface in the form of-CxFy.
In order to provide better uniformity and better stability of the dielectric film, in some alternative embodiments, the thickness of the dielectric film is 150nm to 250nm.
In other alternative embodiments, applicants of the present application further provide a method of making a dielectric film comprising: providing a semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor substrate is provided with a first surface; forming a non-silicon-based dielectric film on the first surface; fluorine radicals are doped in the non-silicon-based dielectric film to form a dielectric film.
According to the manufacturing method, the non-silicon-based dielectric film with low dielectric constant is formed on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate, so that the non-silicon-based dielectric film is used for improving the problems of RC time delay, crosstalk noise, power consumption and the like of chips in an integrated circuit, and further, fluorine radicals are introduced into the non-silicon-based dielectric film to change the hydrophilicity of the non-silicon-based dielectric film, so that fluorine radicals are doped into the non-silicon-based dielectric film, the fluorine radicals increase the hydrophobicity of the non-silicon-based dielectric film, a dielectric film is formed, compared with the non-silicon-based dielectric film, the high-polarity groups formed by contact of surface materials and moisture in the air are fewer, the influence on the dielectric property of the materials is reduced, and because the fluorine radicals are low-polarity groups, the influence of the fluorine radicals on the dielectric property of the non-silicon-based dielectric film is smaller, so that the dielectric film reaches the theoretical minimum k value, and the problems of RC time delay, the crosstalk noise, the power consumption and the like of the chips can be better solved.
Exemplary embodiments of a method of fabricating a dielectric film according to the present application will be described in more detail below. These exemplary embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be appreciated that these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of these exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.
In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the step of forming the non-silicon-based dielectric film 3 includes: depositing a layer 2 of precursor material on a first surface, wherein the semiconductor substrate 1 has the above-mentioned first surface; as shown in fig. 2, a semiconductor substrate 1 having a precursor material layer and an organic gas source are placed in a chemical vapor reaction chamber, and a chemical vapor process is employed to react the organic gas source and the precursor material layer to form a non-silicon-based dielectric film 3.
In the above embodiment, in order to form the non-silicon-based dielectric film 3, a precursor material is first prepared, and then the precursor material is deposited on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 to form a precursor material layer, and the semiconductor substrate 1 on which the precursor material layer is deposited is placed in a chemical vapor reaction chamber, while an organic gas source is introduced into the chemical vapor reaction chamber, so that the organic gas source and the precursor material layer undergo a vapor reaction, thereby converting the precursor material layer into the non-silicon-based dielectric film 3, as shown in fig. 2.
Wherein, the formation process of the chemical vapor method uses heat with higher pressure, so that a more reproducible film can be generated, and the thickness of the film can be controlled by the time/power of the reaction process, thereby realizing the controllability of the thickness of the film, and leading the formed non-silicon-based dielectric film 3 to have higher stoichiometry and higher density.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, the chemical vapor process includes plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and in order to form the low-dielectric, non-silicon-based dielectric film 3 on the semiconductor substrate 1, the organic gas source may be a gas source including silane (SiH (CH) 33 ) Trimethylsilyl (3 MS, (CH) 33 SiH), diethoxymethylsilane (DEMS, si (C) 2 H 5 O) 2 CH 3 H) And cyclohexene oxide (CHO, C 6 H 10 O) any one or more of. By adopting the organic gas source as a source material, firstly, the ionization of the organic gas source is called plasma by the action of an externally added electric field in a plasma chemical gas phase reaction chamber,because the plasma is in a mixed aggregate form composed of electrons, positive ions and neutral particles, the particles can be continuously collided, further the organic gas source is ionized to form a large number of ionized particles of the organic gas source and a large number of active groups with higher free energy, further complex reactions are carried out among other surrounding active groups, gas molecules without the active groups or groups thereof, the reaction proceeds to the direction of the active groups required by deposition, the active groups required by deposition and the gas molecules which are not activated yet expand to the surface of the precursor material layer, and then the reaction with the precursor material layer can be carried out, so that islands can be connected with adjacent islands through continuous growth, and further continuous films can be formed, and the films are the non-silicon-based dielectric films 3.
In some alternative embodiments, the material of the precursor material layer includes one or more of a metal oxide, an organic monomer.
Specifically, in the above embodiment, one or more of the metal oxide and the organic monomer may be reacted as a precursor material and an organic gas source, so as to form any one of a metal organic framework compound, a covalent organic framework compound, or a microporous polymer, which may be the non-silicon-based dielectric film, wherein the metal oxide may include an oxide of zinc (Zn), an oxide of iron (Fe), an oxide of indium (In), an oxide of cobalt (Co), an oxide of copper (Cu), an oxide of zirconium (Zr), an oxide of manganese (Mn), an oxide of lithium (Li), an oxide of cadmium (Cd), and an oxide of mercury (Hg); the organic monomer may include carboxylic acids and imidazole compounds, wherein the carboxylic acids may be aryl compounds, and the aryl compounds may include terephthalic acid, trimesic acid, and the like, and the imidazole compounds may be alkyl compounds, and the alkyl compounds may include 2-methylimidazole, 5, 6-dimethylbenzimidazole, and the like, as examples.
In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the step of forming the dielectric film 4 includes: providing a fluoride having fluorine radicals; a chemical vapor process is employed to react the fluoride with a non-silicon-based dielectric film on the semiconductor substrate 1 to form the dielectric film 4.
In the above embodiment, since the fluorine radicals are relatively reactive and unstable, in order to dope the fluorine radicals in the non-silicon-based dielectric film, it is necessary to provide a fluoride having fluorine radicals so that the fluoride can provide the fluorine radicals to the non-silicon-based dielectric film, so that the fluorine radicals can be separated in the chemical vapor reaction chamber after the above fluoride and the non-silicon-based dielectric film are put into the chemical vapor reaction chamber, and thus can be diffused to the surface of the non-silicon-based dielectric film after being deposited on the surface of the non-silicon-based dielectric film, thereby forming the above dielectric film 4.
Specifically, the chemical vapor process may include a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process. For example, in order to form the dielectric film 4, a bias voltage of 40 to 60w is first applied so that the formed air plasma cleans the chemical vapor reaction chamber and the glass for plasma treatment for at least 30 minutes, thereby removing the perfluoroalkane film that may be formed on the inner surface of the reaction chamber or the glass in the previous experiment; then placing the non-silicon-based dielectric film into the chemical vapor reaction chamber and applying vacuum until the pressure in the reaction chamber is less than or equal to 0.20mbar for at least 30 minutes, thereby removing water that may be adsorbed on the non-silicon-based dielectric film; further, a perfluoroalkane gas can be introduced to make the perfluoroalkane gas enter the chemical gas phase reaction chamber, and the internal pressure of the perfluoroalkane gas can meet the pressure within the specification range of the mass flow controller by adjusting a regulator of the chemical gas phase reaction chamber, and a proper amount of perfluoroalkane gas is arranged in the chemical gas phase reaction chamber, so that the pressure required by an experiment is maintained; further, the above-mentioned perfluoroalkane gas can form plasma under the action of external electric field, optionally, a radio frequency generator can be used to ignite the plasma, and an L-C matching unit can be used to adjust radio frequency, so as to maximize radio frequency power and reduce reflectivity of the film, and the frequency of the above-mentioned radio frequency generator can be 13.56MHz, for example. So that fluorine radicals generated from the perfluoroalkane gas can react with the non-silicon-based dielectric film to form the dielectric film 4 under the action of the plasma, and after the dielectric film 4 is formed, the residual perfluoroalkane gas is discharged from the reaction chamber and discharged to normal pressure, and finally the semiconductor substrate 1 having the dielectric film 4 is taken out from the chemical vapor reaction chamber.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, the semiconductor substrate 1 with the dielectric film 4 after the treatment may be placed in an oven at 100-140 ℃ to remove unreacted perfluoroalkane gas, and then the treated dielectric film 4 may be placed in a dryer to prevent the dielectric film 4 from adsorbing water from the atmosphere. After the above-mentioned treatment of perfluoroalkane plasma vapor deposition (PECVD), the contact angle of the formed dielectric film 4 is 115 ° to 130 °, whereas the contact angle of the non-silicon-based dielectric film subjected to the treatment of perfluoroalkane plasma vapor deposition (PECVD) is 55 ° to 65 °, so that it is known that the film material can be changed from a hydrophilic material to a hydrophobic material by the treatment of perfluoroalkane plasma vapor deposition (PECVD).
In order that the fluoride provides fluorine radicals that are not subjected to H or C x H y Interference of free radicals, since perfluoroalkanes to F-containing, H-free, in some alternative embodiments, the fluoride selected comprises perfluoroalkanes. Illustratively, the above-mentioned perfluoroalkanes include perfluoromethane or perfluoroethane.
In other alternative embodiments, applicants of the present application further provide a conductive plug, as shown in FIG. 4, comprising: a semiconductor substrate 1, the semiconductor substrate 1 having a first surface; the dielectric film 4 in the above embodiment or the dielectric film 4 formed by the manufacturing method in the above another embodiment, the dielectric film 4 is disposed on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate 1, the dielectric film 4 has a second surface far from the first surface, and the dielectric film 4 has a groove penetrating from the second surface to the first surface; and the conductive connecting part 8 is arranged in the groove to form a conductive plug. Optionally, the conductive plug may further include a barrier layer 9, where the barrier layer 9 is disposed between the conductive connection portion 8 and the dielectric film 4 or between the conductive connection portion 8 and the semiconductor substrate 1.
In the above embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, in order to form the conductive plug, first, a mask layer 5 is formed on the side of the dielectric film 4 away from the semiconductor substrate 1. Further, as shown in fig. 6, the mask layer 5 and the dielectric film 4 are sequentially etched until the semiconductor substrate 1 is exposed, thereby forming a recess 6. Further, as shown in fig. 7, the grooves formed by the semiconductor substrate 1, the dielectric film 4 and the mask layer 5 are filled with a conductive material 7 by depositing the conductive material 7 in the grooves such that the conductive material 7 covers the surface of the mask away from the dielectric film 4. Further, as shown in fig. 4, the mask layer on the side of the dielectric film 4 away from the semiconductor substrate 1 and a portion of the conductive material located outside the recess are removed by chemical mechanical polishing, and the remaining portion of the conductive material forms the conductive connection portion 8, thereby forming the conductive plug, wherein in some alternative embodiments, the conductive plug further includes a barrier layer 9, where the barrier layer 9 may be deposited on the sidewall and the bottom of the recess after the recess is formed, and the conductive material is formed on the side of the barrier layer 9 away from the semiconductor substrate 1, the side away from the dielectric film 4, and the side away from the mask layer, so that the barrier layer 9 is disposed between the conductive connection portion 8 and the dielectric film 4 or between the conductive connection portion 8 and the semiconductor substrate 1, for preventing the material diffusion of the conductive connection portion 8 from causing electric leakage, preventing formation of a spike, and the like.
In the above embodiments, the conductive plug has the dielectric film described in the above embodiments, because the dielectric property of the film layer of the dielectric film is related to the polarity of the material forming the film layer, that is, the greater the polarity of the material, the smaller the dielectric constant of the film layer, based on which, after doping fluorine radicals with low polarity groups in the low dielectric constant non-silicon-based dielectric film, the fluorine radicals can increase the hydrophobicity of the film layer material, thereby reducing the reaction of the film layer material with moisture in the air, further reducing the formation of high polarity groups such as hydroxyl groups, and the fluorine radicals are low polarity groups, so that the effect of the fluorine radicals on the dielectric property of the non-silicon-based dielectric film is small, thereby enabling the dielectric film to reach the theoretical minimum k value, and further being capable of better solving the problems of RC delay, crosstalk noise, power consumption and the like of the chip, so that the conductive plug with the dielectric film has wider application.
In some alternative embodiments, the semiconductor body includes a silicon substrate, a passivation layer, and an etch stop layer in a stacked arrangement. Illustratively, the passivation layer comprises silicon dioxide and the etch stop layer comprises silicon carbonitride, the dielectric film being located on a side of the etch stop layer remote from the passivation layer.
In the above embodiment, the silicon dioxide is used as the passivation layer on the surface of the silicon substrate, so that the silicon device is prevented from being polluted, scratched and the like, and the durability of the wafer in the production and manufacturing process is enhanced; the silicon carbide nitride is used as an etching stop layer in the subsequent production and manufacturing flow, so that the etching precision is accurately controlled.

Comparative example 1
The comparative example provides a method for manufacturing a dielectric film, comprising the following steps:
providing a semiconductor substrate, depositing a dielectric substrate forming material and a sacrificial or unstable pore forming material on the semiconductor substrate to form a pore-forming agent-containing film;
converting the porogen-containing film into a porous low-k dielectric film using a curing process;
the porous dielectric film with low dielectric constant is placed in an aqueous medium to introduce hydroxyl (OH) and/or hydrogen (H) groups, thereby completing the introduction of active bonding and obtaining the final dielectric film.
The dielectric constants of the dielectric films in the above examples and comparative examples were tested, and the test procedures and results were as follows:
the dielectric films of examples and comparative examples were respectively made into a first metal-dielectric film-semiconductor structure capacitance and a second metal-dielectric film-semiconductor structure capacitance, so that the first metal-dielectric film-semiconductor structure capacitance and the second metal-dielectric film-semiconductor structure capacitance were measured by using an impedance analyzer to obtain corresponding C-V characteristic curves, and dielectric constants of the dielectric films were calculated as shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
Thus, the dielectric constant of the dielectric film formed by the embodiment is closer to the theoretical value of the dielectric film.
From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects:
the dielectric film is formed by doping fluorine radicals into the above-mentioned non-silicon-based dielectric film after forming the non-silicon-based dielectric film of low dielectric constant. Because the dielectric property of the film layer of the dielectric film is related to the polarity of the material forming the film layer, namely the larger the polarity of the material is, the smaller the dielectric constant of the film layer is, on the basis of the dielectric property, after fluorine radicals with low polarity groups are doped in the non-silicon-based dielectric film with low dielectric constant, the fluorine radicals can increase the hydrophobicity of the film layer material, so that the reaction between the film layer material and moisture in the air is reduced, the formation of high polarity groups such as hydroxyl groups is further reduced, and the fluorine radicals are low polarity groups, so that the influence of the fluorine radicals on the dielectric property of the non-silicon-based dielectric film is smaller, the dielectric film can reach the theoretical minimum k value, and the problems of RC time delay, crosstalk noise, power consumption and the like of a chip can be better solved.
The above description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, but various modifications and variations can be made to the present application by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
