One such challenge is to minimize interlayer (or line-to-line) capacitance (CL-L) and provide adequate gap fill between conductors. Since capacitance is directly proportional to the dielectric constant of the material present between conductors, reducing the dielectric constant of the material used as the interlevel dielectric (ILD) of an integrated circuit will reduce the parasitic capacitance between the conductors Can be. Fluorine-doped silicon dioxide (SiOF) film,
For example, silicon fluoride glass (FSG) is often used as a low dielectric constant (low-k) ILD. Another technical challenge of miniaturization and integration is to reduce the occurrence of voids between functions. This is especially true when the ratio of the height of a feature to the distance of its neighboring features (known as the aspect ratio) becomes significant. With many deposition techniques, it is difficult to fill the gap between adjacent features (gap filling), and voids often occur between features. Interlayer dielectric (ILD)
Void stops capturing impurities in the void,
In addition to introducing reliability issues, opening the voids during the next planarization step or other process will cause breakage in the metal lines.

術である。Accordingly, there is a need to ensure that void filling can be reduced by performing gap filling. One technique for increasing the gapfill capability of interlayer dielectrics is high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDP-CVD). HDP-CVD
Is a technique for generating plasma and depositing a material on a wafer. HDP-CVD has a sputtering component and is generated by the presence of a plasma.
-CVD is activated by the rf bias and applied to the wafer. And HDP-CVD has certain advantages such as low temperature deposition capability and good gap fill capability, and HDP-CVD sputters and etches metals during the deposition process of dielectric material (such as The proper sputtering and etching of the metal is often referred to as clipping). Therefore, what is needed is a technique for forming low-k dielectric ILDs with integrated circuit structures that avoids the harmful tendencies of conventional HDP-CVD described above, while reducing the occurrence of voids (good gap fill).

て用いられる。[0009] Hydrogen is an unsuitable factor for HDP-CVD films, and the content of hydrogen in the film is inversely proportional to the deposition temperature, so that the substrate 301 must be appropriately preheated. The rapid increase of hydrogen in the early stage of deposition can be minimized. This can reduce excess hydrogen, which often hangs and binds, thus acting as an undesirable trap. As shown in FIG. 1, step (a) is a parameter of the step of heating only the power supply in the initial stage. For example, the Applied Materials-5200 Centura Ultima high density plasma chemical deposition system is used as a deposition chamber with a source plasma sustained by a top (T) and side (S) coil rf excitation source (shown as SRF).

る。The heating step is a radiation heating step of heating the wafer by, for example, radiation from plasma. That is, the deformation of the wafer in this step is eliminated, and the heating is not due to the ion bombardment that gives a harmful bombardment to the metal layer 302. After the substrate has been appropriately heated, a protective layer 303 is deposited in this step to avoid sputtering with warpage of the wafer. An example of the parameters of this step is shown in step (b) of FIG. 2a. The final thickness of the protective layer 303 is on the order of 150 °. This protective layer 303 effectively protects the conductive element 302 from corrosion of the materials used in the low-k dielectric material, and also prevents cuts that often occur during unprotected high density plasma chemical deposition processes.
