The present invention relates to a kind of dynamic random access memory (Dynamic Random Access Memory, DRAM) and the manufacture method of metal connecting line, particularly relate to a kind of use metal level-insulating barrier-metal level (Metal Insulator Metal, MIM) DRAM capacitor arrangement, reduce the depth-width ratio (Aspect Ratio) of contact hole/interlayer hole opening of periphery circuit region (Peripheral Region), and then finish the manufacture method of metal connecting line.
Along with the increase of the integrated level (Integration) of semiconductor element, the design rule (Design Rules) that generally needs phase down according to the integrated circuit component manufacture method reduces the circuit structure size of component.And the dwindling of the component size of DRAM capacitor, the capacitance of capacitor also can reduce, and can cause capacitor to be very easy to be subjected to the influence of alpha-radiation like this.In addition, when capacitance (Capacitance) reduces, must increase the frequency of replenishing (Reffesh) again by the holding capacitor stored charge.
Therefore, at present for the substrate surface that phases down at DRAM long-pending in the increase capacitance, and the capacitance structure of a succession of complexity is proposed, it has three dimensions charge storage surface.But the increase along with the complexity of capacitor arrangement can increase the height of capacitor, thereby make the height of capacitor be higher than periphery circuit region.The conductive plunger of periphery circuit region can be after capacitor be finished, and forms after finishing the planarization of insulating barrier of its top again.So during to the contact hole of periphery circuit region/interlayer hole opening composition, can cause the increase of its depth-width ratio, can improve the degree of difficulty of the contact hole/etching of interlayer hole opening and the deposition of metal level like this, so increase the difficulty of follow-up metal connecting line to integrated circuit.

The forming process of the above element is as follows: the electric conducting material that at first forms one deck polysilicon on the semiconductor-based end 100, then carry out composition and etching, forming polysilicon conducting layers 113 at periphery circuit region 105, and the polysilicon conducting layers that is formed on unit area 103 is to select the grid 113 of transistor 112.Carry out ion doping afterwards,, and form doped regions 116,120 at periphery circuit region 105 with 103 formation source area 107 and drain regions 109 in the unit area.Then deposit first insulating barrier 110, its material for example is an oxide, covers structure of the whole semiconductor-based ends 100, forms the conductive layer 118 of composition as shown in the figure again above first insulating barrier 110, form second insulating barrier 111 afterwards again, its material for example is an oxide.Wherein first insulating barrier 110 and second insulating barrier 111 constitute insulating barrier 115, and its gross thickness 114 is about 1.2~1.5 μ m.
Afterwards, the while is 103 formation storage node contacts window (Storage Node Contact) openings 119 in the unit area, and form contact hole/interlayer hole openings 117 at periphery circuit region 105.Its method has two kinds, shown in Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B.
In Fig. 2 A, at first carry out anisotropic etching (Anisotropic Etching) manufacture craft, preferable methods is reactive ion etching (Reactive Ion Etching, a RIE) method, in order to formation storage node contacts window opening 119 above drain region 109, and expose drain region 109; And form contact window 117 at periphery circuit region 105 simultaneously.
Another kind method is shown in Fig. 2 B, and the method is in conjunction with anisotropic etching manufacture craft and isotropic etching (Isotropic Etching) manufacture craft.At first carry out anisotropic etching manufacture craft with Fig. 2 A, then carry out the isotropic etching manufacture craft again, its method for example is wet etch method (WetEtching), and the contact window 117 of the storage node contacts window opening 119 of unit area 103 and periphery circuit region 105 is simultaneously all etched, forms the profile as Fig. 2 B.
The present invention forms contact hole/interlayer hole opening 117 of phase I simultaneously at periphery circuit region 105 when forming the storage node contacts window opening 119 of capacitor.Because the present invention will finish in two stages at the conductive plunger of periphery circuit region 105, rather than form after the structure of capacitor is finished, rather than after the structure of capacitor is finished, form again again, therefore can reduce the depth-width ratio of contact hole/interlayer hole opening.So the present invention can use low-resistance conductive materials to insert at formed contact hole of phase I/interlayer hole opening 117.
