Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines elektrischen Kontaktes in einer Halbleitereinrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a method for producing a electrical contact in a semiconductor device according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein derartiges Verfahren ist aus dem J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A3 (6), Nov/Dec 1985 S. 2264 bis 2267 bekannt.Such a method is known from J. Vac. Sci. Technol. A3 (6), Nov / Dec 1985 pp. 2264 to 2267.
In den Fig. 1A, 1B und 1C sind schematische Schnittansich ten gezeigt, die die Verfahrensschritte bei diesem konventionellen Verfahren zum Bilden einer Kontaktbarrie renstruktur darstellen, die eine wärmefeste Metallsilizid schicht auf einen Siliziumsubstrat und eine wärmefeste Metall nitridschicht auf der Silizidschicht aufweist. Zum Beispiel wird zuerst eine Titanschicht 2 durch Zerstäuben, Verdampfen, CVD oder ähnliches auf einer Hauptoberfläche eines Siliziumsub strates 1 abgeschieden, welches mit elektrischen Kontakten zu versehen ist, wie in Fig. 1A gezeigt ist. Das Substrat 1 mit der Titanschicht 2 wird dann in einer nitridierenden Atmosphäre erwärmt, die ein Gas wie Stickstoff oder Ammoniak enthält, wo durch der obere Schichtabschnitt der Titanschicht 2 in eine Titannitridschicht 4 umgewandelt wird, und gleichzeitig wird der verbleibende untere Abschnitt in eine Titansilizidschicht 3 umgewandelt, wie in Fig. 1B gezeigt ist. Schließlich wird eine Metallschicht 5 einer Legierung wie Aluminium-Silizium zum Bilden von Anschlußleitungen durch Zerstäuben, CVD oder ähnliches abgeschieden, wie in Fig. 1C gezeigt ist. In Figs. 1A, 1B and 1C are schematic Schnittansich are shown ten representing the process steps in this conventional method of forming a contact Barrie renstruktur which a heat-resistant metal silicide layer on a silicon substrate and a heat-resistant metal nitride layer on the silicide layer has. For example, a titanium layer 2 is first deposited by sputtering, evaporation, CVD or the like on a main surface of a silicon substrate 1 to be provided with electrical contacts as shown in FIG. 1A. The substrate 1 with the titanium layer 2 is then heated in a nitriding atmosphere containing a gas such as nitrogen or ammonia, where it is converted by the upper layer portion of the titanium layer 2 in a titanium nitride layer 4, and simultaneously, the remaining lower section into a titanium silicide layer 3 is converted as shown in Fig. 1B. Finally, a metal layer 5 of an alloy such as aluminum-silicon is deposited to form leads by sputtering, CVD or the like, as shown in Fig. 1C.
Die Silizidschicht 3 wird vorgesehen, damit der Kontaktwider stand beim Herstellen von elektrischen Kontakten zu dem Sili ziumsubstrat 1 verringert wird. Dagegen dient die Nitridschicht 4 als eine Barriere, die die Zwischendiffusion zwischen dem Siliziumsubstrat 1 und der Metallschicht 5 verhindert.The silicide layer 3 is provided so that the contact resistance was reduced when making electrical contacts to the silicon substrate 1 . In contrast, the nitride layer 4 serves as a barrier that prevents the intermediate diffusion between the silicon substrate 1 and the metal layer 5 .
Die silizidierende Reaktion der wärmefesten Metallschicht 2 wird durch Siliziumatome durchgeführt, die von dem Silizium substrat 1 in die Metallschicht 2 diffundieren. Wenn daher die silizidierende Reaktion weit fortschreitet, wird die Oberflä chenschicht des Siliziumsubstrates aufgezehrt, und dann wer den die P-N-Übergänge zerstört. Darum ist es vorzuziehen, daß die Silizidschicht 3 nur zu der notwendigen minimalen Dicke wächst. Andererseits ist es nötig, daß die Nitridschicht 4 dicker als eine gewisse effektive Dicke ist, damit sie als Barriere zum Unterdrücken der Zwischendiffusion dient. Mit dem oben beschriebenen Verfahren, bei dem die Nitridschicht 4 und die Silizidschicht 3 gleichzeitig durch Erwärmen in einer ni trierenden Atmosphäre gebildet werden, kann die Titanschicht 2 nur bis zu ungefähr ¼ der Dicke die Tiefe nitriert werden, und die verbleibenden ¾ der Dicke der Titanschicht 2 werden sili zidiert. Es ist schwierig, dieses Dickenverhältnis zwischen der Nitridschicht 4 und der Silizidschicht 3 zu verändern.The silicidating reaction of the heat-resistant metal layer 2 is carried out by silicon atoms which diffuse from the silicon substrate 1 into the metal layer 2 . Therefore, if the siliciding reaction progresses far, the surface layer of the silicon substrate is consumed, and then who destroys the PN junctions. It is therefore preferable that the silicide layer 3 only grow to the necessary minimum thickness. On the other hand, it is necessary that the nitride layer 4 be thicker than a certain effective thickness so that it serves as a barrier for suppressing the intermediate diffusion. With the above-described method in which the nitride layer 4 and the silicide layer 3 are simultaneously formed by heating in a nitriding atmosphere, the titanium layer 2 can only be nitrided to about 1/4 of the thickness and the remaining ¾ of the thickness of the titanium layer 2 are silicided. It is difficult to change this thickness ratio between the nitride layer 4 and the silicide layer 3 .
Aus J. Appl. Phys. 52(9), Sept. 1981, S. 5722-5726 ist es bekannt, auf ein Siliziumsubstrat eine zweischichtige Metallkontaktschicht zu bringen, bei der als untere Schicht TiN durch reaktives Sputtern aufgebracht wird und darüber eine Metallschicht niedrigen Widerstandes abgeschieden wird, so daß das Wegfressen des Siliziumsubstrates verhindert wird. Es ist jedoch keine Silizidierung des Titanes vorgesehen.From J. Appl. Phys. 52 (9), Sept. 1981, pp. 5722-5726 it is known to have a two-layer on a silicon substrate Bring metal contact layer, as the bottom layer TiN is applied by reactive sputtering and above a low resistance metal layer is deposited, so that the silicon substrate is prevented from being eaten away. However, no silicidation of the titanium is provided.
Aus IBM TDB, Bd. 25, Nr. 12, Mai 1983, S. 6398-6399 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Kontakten für flache Übergänge bekannt, bei dem zunächst eine mit Stickstoff dotierte Ti-Schicht aufgebracht und anschließend simultan in eine Doppelschicht aus Titannitrid und Titansilizid umgewandelt wird. From IBM TDB, Vol. 25, No. 12, May 1983, pp. 6398-6399 a method of making contacts for flat Transitions known, initially with one with nitrogen doped Ti layer applied and then simultaneously in a double layer of titanium nitride and titanium silicide is converted.
Aus der JP 59-34 639 (A) vom 25. Februar 1984 in "Patent Abstracts of Japan", E-249, 8. Juni 1984, Bd. 8. Nr. 123 ist es bekannt, mit Hilfe eines Nitriergas enthaltenden Plasmas die Oberflächen eines Siliziumsubstrates zu nitrieren. Eine Nitrierung von Metallschichten ist nicht vorgesehen.From JP 59-34 639 (A) of February 25, 1984 in "Patent Abstracts of Japan ", E-249, June 8, 1984, Vol. 8. No. 123 is known, using a plasma containing nitriding gas Nitride surfaces of a silicon substrate. A Nitriding metal layers is not intended.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren nach dem Ober begriff des Patentanspruches 1 zu schaffen, mit dem eine auf dem Siliziumsubstrat aufgebrachte hochtemperaturstabile Metallschicht in eine Doppelschicht aus einer Nitridschicht und einer Silizidschicht mit einem bestimmten Dickenverhält nis derart ausgebildet werden kann, daß die Silizidschicht ausreichend dünn wird und das Siliziumsubstrat nicht so weit aufgezehrt wird.The object of the invention is a method according to the Ober to create the concept of claim 1 with which high-temperature stable applied to the silicon substrate Metal layer in a double layer from a nitride layer and a silicide layer with a certain thickness ratio nis can be formed such that the silicide layer becomes sufficiently thin and the silicon substrate is not consumed so far becomes.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch das in Patentanspruch 1 gekenn zeichnete Verfahren gelöst.This object is characterized by the claim 1 drawn procedures solved.
Im weiteren wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung an hand der Figuren beschrieben. Von den Figuren zeigtAn exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below described by hand of the figures. From the figures shows
Fig. 1A, 1B und 1C schematische Schnittansichten der Verfahrens schritte bei dem konventionellen Verfahren und Fig. 1A, 1B and 1C are schematic sectional views of the process steps in the conventional method, and
Fig. 2A, 2B und 2C schematische Schnittansichten der Verfahrens schritte bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren. Fig. 2A, 2B and 2C are schematic sectional views of the process steps in the inventive method.
Bezugnehmend auf die Fig. 2A, 2B und 2C: dort sind schemati sche Schnittansichten gezeigt, die die Verfahrensschritte bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren darstellen. Fig. 2A zeigt den gleichen Schritt wie Fig. 1A des erwähnten Standes der Technik. In Fig. 2B wird jedoch die Titanschicht 2 bis zu einer gewünsch ten Tiefe zum Bilden einer Titannitridschicht 4 nitridiert durch Anwenden eines Plasmas 6, welches Stickstoff bei einer niedrigeren Temperatur enthält und keine Silizidierung der Ti tanschicht verursacht. Das Plasma 6 kann aus einem Gas, welches N₂, NH₃ oder ähnliches enthält, erzeugt werden. Danach wird die verbleibende Titanschicht 2 zwischen dem Siliziumsubstrat 1 und der Nitridschicht 4 in eine Titansilizidschicht 3 durch eine Wärmebehandlung umgewandelt, wie in Fig. 2C gezeigt ist.Referring to Figures 2A, 2B and 2C. There schemati cal sectional views are shown illustrating the process steps in the inventive method. Fig. 2A shows the same step as Fig. 1A of the prior art mentioned. In Fig. 2B, however, the titanium layer 2 is nitrided to a desired depth to form a titanium nitride layer 4 by using a plasma 6 which contains nitrogen at a lower temperature and does not cause siliciding of the titanium layer. The plasma 6 can be generated from a gas containing N₂, NH₃ or the like. Thereafter, the remaining titanium layer 2 between the silicon substrate 1 and the nitride layer 4 is converted into a titanium silicide layer 3 by a heat treatment, as shown in FIG. 2C.
Da, wie oben beschrieben, die Titanschicht 2 bis zu einer ge wünschten Tiefe vor der Silizierung der Titanschicht nitriert werden kann, wird es möglich, eine Silizidschicht 3 einer be vorzugten Dicke zu erzielen, ohne daß Schäden in den P-N-Über gängen des Siliziumsubstrates 1 verursacht werden.Since, as described above, the titanium layer 2 can be nitrided to a desired depth prior to the siliconization of the titanium layer, it becomes possible to achieve a silicide layer 3 of a preferred thickness without damage in the PN junctions of the silicon substrate 1 caused.
Obwohl Titan für eine wärmefeste Metallschicht in der oben be schriebenen Ausführungsform angenommen wurde, ist es klar, daß andere verschiedene wärmefeste Metalle wie Tantal, Molybdän, Wolfram, Zirkon, Chrom, Vanadium und Niob ebenfalls genommen werden können.Although titanium is used for a heat-resistant metal layer in the above embodiment was adopted, it is clear that other various heat-resistant metals such as tantalum, molybdenum, Tungsten, zircon, chrome, vanadium and niobium also taken can be.
