Description

The manufacture method of metal silicide
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of manufacture method of semiconductor element, and particularly relevant for a kind of manufacture method that on polysilicon, forms metal silicide (metal silicide).
Background technology
Along with the increase of semiconductor element integrated level, pattern and live width in the element are also dwindled gradually, thereby cause the grid in the element and the contact resistance of lead to increase, and produce bigger resistance-capacitance and postpone (RC Delay), and then influence element operation speed.Because the resistance of metal silicide is low than polysilicon (Polysilicon), and its thermal stability is also than general intraconnections material height, thereby forms metal silicide on grid, in the hope of reducing the resistance value between grid and the metal connecting line.
In the technology of existing manufacturing metal silicide, when polysilicon layer for example is after grid is formed on the semiconductor wafer, enter before the high-temperature technology that forms metal silicide at this semiconductor wafer, semiconductor wafer has one section waiting time and is exposed in the atmosphere, and the polysilicon layer on semiconductor wafer will may have grown into the very thin native oxide of one deck (native oxide) this moment.Yet, when this semiconductor wafer that is formed with native oxide enters the high-temperature technology of follow-up formation metal silicide, the existence of this native oxide will make that the tackness (adhesion) of metal silicide and polysilicon layer is not good, and then cause metal silicide quite easily and polysilicon layer peel off (peeling), have influence on the reliability and the usefulness of element.
Brief summary of the invention
Therefore, purpose of the present invention is providing a kind of manufacture method of metal silicide, can avoid forming on the polysilicon layer native oxide.
Another object of the present invention can be promoted the tackifying ability between metal silicide and the polysilicon layer in that a kind of manufacture method of metal silicide is provided.
The present invention proposes a kind of manufacture method of metal silicide, the method is to form dielectric layer in substrate, then on dielectric layer, form the conductor layer of polysilicon material, on conductor layer, form adhesion layer then, wherein this adhesion layer forms metal silicide layer thereafter for being rich in nitrogen layer (nitrogen rich film) or nitrogen ion implanted layer (nitrogen ion implanted film) on adhesion layer.
And, after forming conductor layer, and before forming adhesion layer, can also be to conductor layer sliding (deglaze) technology of carrying out delustering, so that the conductor layer surface is comparatively coarse and remove impurity or native oxide on it.
From the above, because the present invention forms nitrogenous adhesion layer on the surface of conductor layer, thereby can be by adhesion layer to suppress the generation of native oxide.Therefore, so can make between the metal silicide layer of follow-up formation and the conductor layer by adhesion layer to obtain good tackness unlikely peeling off.
