2302870 METHOD OF FORMING A BORON PHOSPHOROUS SILICATE'GLA:SS FILM
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of forming a boron phosphorous silicate glass(hereinafier referred to simply as BPSC,) film used for an insulaung film in a semiconductor device.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A BPSG film, which is used for an insulating film in a semiconductor device, is widelv used in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device due to its good planarity properties as well as its good insulation properties. As device dimensions are scaled down in ULSI, it is highly required that the planarity rate of the BPSG film which is used as an insulating film be high. The BPSG film in which boron (13) and phosphorous (P) are heavily doped has the properties to induce a refloxv to easily Occur. Therefore, the planarity rate of BPSG film can be improved by heavily doping boron (B) and phosphorous (P). -Adso, a more heavily. doped BPSG film makes it possible to manufacture a semiconductor device having a shallow junction since the BPSG film can be planarized a'L a low The heavily doped 13PSG film, however, has some difficullies that it has a strong moisture absorption nature and 11 also causes to increase the out diffusion of boron (B) and phosphorous (P) contained in the WSG film during annealing process- As a result, out diffused boron (B) and phosphorous (P) create an extracted crvstal on the surface of the WSG film, and the extracted crystal decreases the reliability of a semiconductor device since it acts as defect factor. As the size of a contact hole becomes narrowed because the device ciiniensioii,, are scaled down in ULSI, 11, is rather clifficult to fill the coniac hole with conducting rnaierials as desired. resulting in deterioration of stepcoverage in Lhe contact hole. In order to improve stepcoverage. so called. a wlne-glass shaped contact hole must be formed by two process steps: a \ei etch process and a dry etch process. High boron and phosphorous containing 13PSG film, however, makes it difficult to achieve the wine-glass shaped contact hole during wet and dry etch processes. As the highly doped WSG film has a strong moisture absorption nature, a photoresist, which is coated on WSG film, has a poor adhesion with the WSG film, m-hereby an excessive lateral etch compared with a vertical etch is brought about because chemical etchant is easily infiltrated into the interface of the photoresist and the WSG film during the wet-etch process. Such effects results in some problems that they form a contact hole like a shallow dish and, in worst case, that they may connect neighboring contact holes together or lift the photoresist.
As described above, in order to Improve the planarization of the 13PSG film, the concentrauon of the impurity should be high.However, in case that the concentration of the impurity becomes high; there is a limitation in lowering the wet-etched ratio without degradation of planarity of the BPSG film because the lateral to vertical wet-etched ratio becomes great.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a method of fori-ning a WSG film which can lower the ivet-etched r-aElo while it increases tile planarity of the 13PSG film. To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method of forming a boron phosphorous silicate glass (BPSG) film, comprising the steps of: depositing a boron phosphorous silicate glass WSG) film on the entire structure surface after a plurality of underlying layers are formed on a wafer; loading said wafer into a furnace; increasing an internal temperature of said furnace; flattening the surface of said WSG film using a reflow process; rapidly cooling the internal temperature of said furnace so that the surface of said WSG film turns to be a rapid cooling region and the internal thereof turns to be a slow cooling region; and unloading said wafer.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Fig. 1A and Fig. IB show sectional views of a semiconductor device explaining the method of forming a 13PSG film in accordance vith the present invention.
Fig. 1A shows a 13PSG film 3, used for an insulation film, is deposited on the entire surface after a plurality of underlying layers 2 are formed on the wafer 1. The surface of the deposited BPSG lilm 3 is uneven due to the underlying layers 2.
Referring to Fig. 113, the WSG film 3 is planarized bv the annealing process in accordance with the present in,,,ention, thereby obtaining a planarized 13PSG film 3A.
An annealing process for flattening the WSG film may be classified into following five steps; a loading. a raMP LIP. a reflow, a ramp down and em unloading steps. Depending upon 1he rarrip down - step and [he unloading step, a moisture absorption nat,,.ii-e of the BPSCi filTn is determined.
An annealing process for forming the WSG film 3A, the surface of which is flattened, is as follows.
The wafer 1, on which the 13PSG film 3 is deposited, is loaded in the furnace. At this time, loading temperature is approximately 4001C. In the ramp up step, an internal temperature of the furnace is increased to the temperature of 800 through 9501C higher 25 through 35% than the temperature of 650 through 7001C, which is a transition temperature of the 13PSG film. In the reflow step, the surface of the BPSG film 3 should be flattened at the temperature of 800 through 9.50C in an inert gas such as nitrogen (N,) or argon (A,). In the ramp down step, the temperature range should be kept at 90 through 95% of the reflow temperature for example, 700 through 9001C with the ramp down rate being -20 through - 50'C/min. At this temperature, the wafer 1 is unloaded.
On the one hand, %,,hen the 13PSG film is annealed at high temperature over a transition temperature, the viscosity of the BPSG film becomes low enough, and all atoms within the film can move freely. In the ramp down step, when the ramp down rate becomes slow all atoms within the film will have a great possibility that they will be crystallized, a contractile rate thereof will be great, and the density of the film %vIII be increased. On the contrary, when the ramp down rate beconles rapid. Llic, strucLure of the film at high tempera[ure remains intact ard it has a property Lhat. Lhe dens1tv of the film %,-III be decreased iha- v.hen the ramp dwvn rate becomes slow, and the etch ratio will be ircreased. In addition, the BPSG film fornied by a slow cooling has a property that its moisture absorption becomes sensitive to the impuricy concentration within the film. but the BPSG film formed by a relatively rapid cooling has a property that its moisture absorption becomes insensitive to the impuritv concentration within the film.
As the present invention makes use of the characteristics of such BPSG film, the BPSG film 3A formed as a result of the above annealing process has a different internal structure. In practical, the surface of the BPSG film 3A turns to be a rapid cooling region A the structure of which at reflow temperature (800 through 9501C) remains intact, and the internal of the BPSG film 3A turns to be a slow cooling region B all the materials within which are crystallized after being cooled slowly at reflow temperature MO through 9501C). In the BPSG film 3A having this type of structure, a compressive stress applies to the rapid cooling region A because a contractile force in the slow cooling region B is relatively large than that in the rapid cooling region A. The compressive stress can suppress an extracted cnstal from being created on the surface of the BPSG film 3A and also can reduce a moisture absorption of the BPSG film 3A. Therefore, in increasing the planarity of the BPSG film, such problems as creation of the extracted crystal and increase of moisture absorption deserve 11Ie consideration even Ihough each concentraLioll of boron and phosphorous is high enough. for e\amplle 5 ihi-ough 6%vtl/o, respectively. As such, the present invention can lo,ver the xvet-etched ratio while increasing the planarity of BPSG 111m.
When the contact hole is formed by two steps: wet and dry etch process in the BPSG film 3A formed in accordance with the present invention, the profile of the contact hole turris to be a wine-glass shaped contact formation. That is, the present invention can control the lateral to vertical wet-etched ratio (DL/Dv) of the BPSG film 3A to 1.125 through 1. 5, and this will be explained below by reference to the experimental data shown in Fig. 2 and Fig.3.
Fig. 2 shows a wet-etched ratio as a function of ramp down rate at unload temperature of 8001C. Ramp down rates being varied from -3 to -30 IC /min. The experimental data shows that, when the ramp down rate is faster than 25C/rrUn, the wet-etched ratio (DuDv) is saturated less than 15 regardless of dopant concentration.
Fig. 3 shows a wet-etched ratio as a function of unload temperature at ramp down rate of -25C/min'. Unload temperature being varied from 600 to 800 C. The experimental data shows that, when the unload temperature is over 700C, the wet-etched ratio (DL/Dv) is saturated less than 1.5 regardless of the dopant concentration.
As the dopant concentration becomes high, a moisture absorption of the BPSG filril results in reduction of the adhesion \'-Ith phooresls,L. In annealing process for flattening the BFSG film, if Lhe cl(mi- raLe becomes great and it Is unloaded at high temperature. the effects, oil tile dopant concentration can be effectively minimized, thereby re-sulting ill ail impro,,,ed formation of contact hole.
Therefore, the present invention can improve the planarity of BPSG film because it can implant, in depositing the BPSG film, higher concentration of boron and phosphorous compared with a depositing of the existing BPSG film so as to increase a surface planarity, and it can also prevent the adhesion with photoresist from decreasing due to a moisture absorption of the BPSG film by improving annealing process of the BPSG film and then forming a rapid cooling region in the surface of the BPSG film, wherebv it can suppress an extracted crystal from being created on BPSG film and it can also form an improved formation of a contact hole- The foregoing description, although described in its preferred embodiment with a certain degree of particularity, is only illustrative of the principle of the present invention. It is to be understood that the present invention is not to be limited to the preferred embodiments disclosed and - 8 illustrated herein.
