さらに、本発明の特徴を明らかにするために行った各種の実験例について述べる。
図5は、エッチングで用いられる混合ガス(NF3+SiCl4)に対するNF3の流量比と、絶縁物(酸化シリコンまたは窒化シリコン)とbccタンタルとの選択比との関係を示す図である。図5において、符号aで示すグラフは、酸化シリコンに対するbccタンタルの選択比を示し、符号bで示すグラフは、窒化シリコンに対するbccタンタルの選択比を示す。
図6は、エッチングで用いられる混合ガス(NF3+SiCl4)に対するNF3の流量比と、絶縁物(酸化シリコンまたは窒化シリコン)と窒化タンタルとの選択比との関係を示す。図6において、符号aで示すグラフは、酸化シリコンに対する窒化タンタルの選択比を示し、符号bで示すグラフは、窒化シリコンに対する窒化タンタルの選択比を示す。
以下の方法によって形成されたサンプルを用いて、SiCl4とNF3とO2との混合ガスによって反応性イオンエッチングを行った。エッチング条件としては、SiCl4とNF3との混合ガスに対するNF3の流量比が15%、酸素の濃度が17ppm、圧力9mTorr、基板温度50℃、RFバイアス127mW/cm2を採用した。このときのタンタルのエッチングレートは、40nm/分程度であった。その結果得られたサンプルの走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)によって得られた写真を図7および図8(A)、(B)に示した。図7は、絶縁層が酸化シリコン層の場合であり、図8(A)、(B)は、絶縁層が窒化シリコン層の場合であり、(A)は俯瞰の状態、(B)は断面の状態の写真である。
図9は、SiCl4とNF3とO2との混合ガスを用いたエッチングにおける、堆積層とオーバーエッチング時間との関係を示す図である。図9において、横軸はオーバーエッチング時間を示し、縦軸は堆積物層の厚さを示す。この実験例では、以下のようにして堆積層は酸素濃度およびRFバイアスの強度に依存することを確認した。まず、サンプルのbccタンタル層および窒化シリコン層をエッチングし、さらにオーバーエッチングを行い、新たに形成された堆積層の膜厚を測定した。
図12(A),(B)は、本実験例に係るトランジスタのVg−Id特性を示す。図12(A)は、nチャネルMOSFETのVg−Id特性を示し、図12(B)は、pチャネルMNSFETのVg−Id特性を示す。両者のトランジスタは、いずれも窒化タンタル層(膜厚30nm)、bccタンタル層(膜厚100nm)、およびキャップ層としての窒化タンタル層(膜厚30nm)の積層構造を有する。また、nチャネルMOSFETでは、ゲート絶縁膜として熱酸化によって形成された酸化シリコン層(膜厚2.9nm)を有している。pチャネルMNSFETでは、ゲート絶縁膜としてアンモニア−アルゴン雰囲気での高密度プラズマCVDで形成された窒化シリコン層(膜厚3.55nm)を有している。この窒化シリコン層の等価酸化膜厚(EOT)は、1.75nmである。
図13は、上記(5)のVg−Id特性の測定に用いたと同一のpチャネルMNSFETにおけるオフ電流特性を示す図である。図13において、横軸はオフ電流を示し、縦軸はワイブル累積数([ln(−ln(1−F))]で得られるweibullプロット)を示す。本実験例では、6インチウェハにおける60ポイントのMNSFETについてそれぞれオフ電流を求めた。
