相成長法(CVD法)や塗布法などが知られている。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a silica-based coating is usually used for a flattening film and an interlayer insulating film used in manufacturing a semiconductor device. As a method for forming a silica-based film used for such a purpose, for example, a chemical vapor deposition method (CVD method), a coating method, and the like are known.

布し、焼成することにより形成される。A silica-based film formed by a CVD method is formed by depositing and growing silica or silica containing phosphorus or boron as necessary on a substrate surface by using a special apparatus. The silica-based coating is generally formed by applying a coating solution composed of an organic solvent solution containing a hydrolysis-condensation product of an alkoxysilane with an acid catalyst onto a substrate and baking the coating solution.

が、最近多数提案されている。However, in recent years, with the increasing number of layers and miniaturization of semiconductor elements, there has been a problem that the signal transmission time due to the wiring capacitance is delayed and the speeding up of the VLSI is hindered. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, many proposals have recently been made to use a material having a low dielectric constant as the interlayer insulating film.

が限界であるといわれている。For example, a SiOF film containing a fluorine atom formed by a CVD method has been proposed. However, formation of this SiOF film requires expensive equipment,
In addition to the high cost, the SiOF film contains highly reactive Si-F bonds, which react with water to form Si-OH, so that the relative dielectric constant is about 3.3. Is said to be the limit.

However, their relative dielectric constants are limited to about 2.8 and 3.3, respectively, and it is difficult to reduce them below that. And, in a semiconductor element which requires more and more layers and miniaturization, such a material still has a high dielectric constant and cannot be said to be sufficiently satisfactory.

According to the method (1), a stable silica-based coating cannot be obtained, and even if it is obtained, the relative dielectric constant is at most 3.8, and a silica-based coating having a relative dielectric constant of 2.5 or less cannot be obtained.

First, a coating solution for forming a silica-based film containing a basic hydrolysis-condensation product of the silane compound is prepared. As the basic catalyst used at this time, a base which does not contain metal ions such as sodium and potassium which adversely affect the semiconductor element is used because the silica coating to be formed is used for the production of the semiconductor element. Such bases include aqueous ammonia and organic amines, such as aniline, aromatic amines such as N-methylaniline, triethylamine, tripropylamine, and the like.
Aliphatic lower tertiary amines such as tributylamine, triethanolamine and tripropanolamine are preferred. These bases may be used alone or in combination of two or more. The amount of the silane compound to be used is generally selected within the range of 10 -1 to 10 -5 mol, preferably 10 -2 to 10 -4 mol, per 1 mol of the silane compound.

しい。The hydrolysis reaction using a basic catalyst is different from the hydrolysis reaction using an acid catalyst in that a silanol having a plurality of hydroxyl groups is easily formed. Since this easily causes a dehydration-condensation reaction, easily gelates, and tends to be inferior in stability over time, first, as described above, a hydrolysis reaction and a dehydration-condensation reaction in the organic solvent are performed, and then N-methyl It is advantageous to prepare a coating solution for forming a silica-based film having a high concentration in terms of SiO 2 by replacing the solvent with an aprotic polar solvent such as pyrrolidone, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and a mixture thereof. The concentration of this coating solution in terms of SiO 2 is preferably about 5 to 25% by weight.

The substrate used at this time is not particularly limited, and is appropriately selected according to the use of the silica-based film to be formed. For example, when an interlayer insulating film is used, a metal wiring layer made of aluminum or the like is formed on a silicon wafer, when an intermediate film is used, a lower resist in a multilayer resist method is used, and when a flattening film is used, a metal wiring is formed on a silicon wafer. A layer having a layer and an interlayer insulating film formed thereon by a CVD method or the like or a layer provided with a wiring layer made of a polycrystalline silicon layer on a silicon wafer can be used.

What is necessary is just to heat on a hot plate of about 00 degreeC for about several minutes. Preferably, the temperature is increased stepwise in several steps. Specifically, after performing the first drying treatment for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes on a hot plate of about 80 to 100 ° C. in the air or in an atmosphere of an inert gas such as nitrogen, and then at about 120 to 170 ° C. The second drying treatment is performed for about 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and further performed at about 190 to 300 ° C. for 3 seconds.
The third drying process is performed for about 0 seconds to 2 minutes. As described above, by performing several stages of drying treatment, the surface of the formed coating film becomes uniform.

The firing treatment is performed at a temperature in the range of 0 to 800 ° C. If the firing temperature is lower than 350 ° C., the firing is insufficient and a silica-based coating cannot be obtained. The upper limit of the firing temperature depends on the semiconductor device finally manufactured using the silica-based coating of the present invention. For example, on an aluminum wiring layer, the upper limit is desirably 500 ° C.
