[ detailed description ] of the invention
For a better understanding of the technical solutions of the present application, embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, based on the embodiments herein, which would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.
The terminology used in the embodiments of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in this application and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a schematic flow chart of a method for fabricating a nanoscale deep hole according to one embodiment of the present application. The preparation method of the nano-scale deep hole is used for solving the technical problems that the cost of the nano-scale image in the related technology is high by adopting an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine.
As shown in fig. 1, a method for preparing a nano-scale deep hole according to an embodiment of the present application includes:
step S101, depositing a first silicon oxide layer with a preset thickness on the surface of a substrate;
as shown in fig. 2, the substrate may be silicon, and a substantial thickness of silicon oxide, an insulating dielectric material, is deposited on the substrate.
In one embodiment, optionally, after depositing the first silicon oxide layer of a predetermined thickness, the surface is planarized using a chemical mechanical polishing process.
Step S102, exposing the first silicon oxide layer to form a contact hole with a preset size;
as shown in fig. 3, contact holes are formed with a size greater than 250nm by exposure using conventional exposure techniques.
Specifically, conventional exposure techniques may employ I-line lithography, DUV is deep ultraviolet (Deep Ultraviolet Lithography), EUV is extreme ultraviolet (Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography). From the process scale, DUV can be essentially only 25nm. Only EUV can satisfy wafer fabrication of 10nm or less, and can continue to extend to 5nm and 3 nm. But EUV is very costly.
Step S103, depositing a SIN termination layer on the surfaces of the first silicon oxide layer and the contact hole;
as shown in FIG. 4, a SIN termination layer is deposited on the surfaces of the first silicon oxide layer and the contact hole, wherein the thickness of the SIN termination layer is 1-10nm, and the deposition temperature is 400-800 ℃. Specifically, the deposition may be performed by an LPCVD (Low pressure chemical vapor deposition) method, which is a CVD reaction in which the operating pressure of the reaction gas in the reactor is reduced to about 133Pa or less.
The LPCVD pressure is reduced below about 133Pa, and accordingly, the free path and gas diffusion coefficient of molecules are increased, so that the mass transfer rate of gaseous reactants and byproducts is accelerated, the reaction rate of forming a film is increased, even if the distance between parallel and vertical arranged chips is reduced to 5-10mm, the mass transfer limit can be ignored compared with the chemical reaction rate of the surfaces of the chips, thereby creating conditions for vertically and densely packing the chips and greatly improving the chip packing capacity of each batch.
The thin film deposited by LPCVD method has better step coverage capability, better composition and structure control, higher deposition rate and output. Furthermore, LPCVD does not require carrier gases, thereby greatly reducing the source of particulate contamination.
Step S104, depositing a second silicon dioxide layer on the surface of the SIN termination layer until the target aperture is reached;
as shown in fig. 4, a second silicon dioxide layer is deposited on the surface of the SIN termination layer until a target pore size is reached, wherein the target pore size may be less than 50nm.
In the embodiment, the conventional photoetching technology is used, and the film side wall growth technology is combined, so that the nanoscale deep hole structure is obtained, the productivity pressure of the DUV photoetching machine is reduced, and the application range of different I-line photoetching machines is widened.
In one embodiment, optionally, the preparation method further comprises:
and reversely etching the second silicon dioxide layer at the opening of the target aperture to form a bowl opening structure at the top.
As shown in fig. 5, to facilitate amorphous silicon filling during subsequent fabrication, a second silicon oxide layer is etched back at the opening of the target aperture to form a bowl opening structure at the top.
Step S105, depositing an amorphous silicon film, and filling the target aperture;
as shown in fig. 6, an amorphous silicon thin film is deposited on the surface of the second silicon oxide layer to fill the holes.
In one embodiment, optionally, after depositing the amorphous silicon thin film and filling the target aperture, the preparation method further includes:
as shown in fig. 7, the top bowl opening structure is flattened by chemical mechanical polishing.
In this step, the pore diameter is filled by the amorphous silicon film, so that the blocking of the pore diameter by the grinding liquid particles can be avoided. And after the aperture is filled, removing the bowl opening structure formed in the back etching process by adopting a chemical mechanical polishing method.
Among them, amorphous silicon (amorphous silicon α -Si) is also called amorphous silicon, and its microstructure is characterized by long-range disorder and short-range disorder. Although the Si atom is also bonded to the other four atoms, the spatial node of the composition is not reproducible in three dimensions, and the four coordinating atoms are not necessarily all present, wherein part of the coordinating Si atoms are also replaced by hydrogen atoms. Therefore, amorphous silicon materials contain a large number of defects, which have more active chemical properties than crystalline silicon with a regular and complete structure, and are less difficult and costly to produce. Compared with crystalline silicon, the amorphous silicon film material has more complicated and changeable electrical properties, and in addition, the amorphous silicon film material has higher light absorption coefficient and stronger photoelectric conversion capability. The preparation method of the amorphous silicon film material mainly comprises a vacuum evaporation method, a sputtering method, a chemical vapor deposition method, a plasma chemical vapor deposition method and the like.
And S106, removing the amorphous silicon film and the SIN termination layer at the bottom of the contact hole by wet etching.
As shown in fig. 8, the amorphous silicon film is removed by alkaline solution, and the bottom SIN is removed by SIN wet etching, because the SIN thickness is very thin, the SIN etching on the top is negligible.
In one embodiment, optionally, the preparation method further comprises:
as shown in fig. 9, a metal layer is deposited on the surface of the contact hole after wet etching.
The metal deposition process is one common surface treating technology, and may form one homogeneous, compact and excellent adhesion metal film on the surface of metal to improve the physical and chemical performance of metal and raise the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, conductivity and other characteristics.
The metal deposition process is mainly divided into electrochemical deposition and physical vapor deposition. Electrochemical deposition is a process of reducing and depositing a metal film on the surface of an electrode by utilizing metal ions in an electrolyte, and the common electrolytes include acidity, alkalinity, hydrochloride and the like. Physical vapor deposition is to evaporate metal into gas at high temperature under high vacuum condition, and then deposit metal film on the surface of the substrate, and common methods include thermal evaporation, electron beam evaporation, magnetron sputtering, etc.
In the scheme realized by the preparation method of the nano-scale deep hole and the nano device, a first silicon oxide layer with preset thickness is deposited on the surface of the substrate; exposing the first silicon oxide layer to form a contact hole with a preset size; depositing a SIN termination layer on the surfaces of the first silicon oxide layer and the contact hole; depositing a second silicon dioxide layer on the surface of the SIN termination layer until reaching the target aperture; depositing an amorphous silicon film, and filling the target aperture; and removing the amorphous silicon film and the SIN termination layer at the bottom of the contact hole by wet etching. Thus, the conventional photoetching technology is combined with the film and the chemical mechanical polishing and etching process, so that the contact hole with the thickness of less than 50nm is realized, the production and manufacturing cost is reduced, the productivity pressure of the DUV photoetching machine is reduced, and the application range of different L-L ine photoetching machines is widened.
