This is extremely effective when providing a semiconductor device placement antibody having a suitable angle of δ11° for a semiconductor device.

している各層の平坦化が必要になってきた。Conventionally, static random access memory (S-RAM) using complementary MO8 (C-MOS)
The increase in integration density was mainly due to improved processing accuracy and improved memory cells by using high resistance polycrystalline silicon as the load. However, as 5-RAMs become more dense and highly integrated, the wiring width is required to be as narrow as 1 to 2 micrometers, making it difficult to microfabricate polycrystalline silicon. Furthermore, as miniaturization progresses, it has become necessary to planarize each layer constituting the device in order to prevent disconnection of electrode wiring.

があった。As miniaturization progresses, the lengthwise dimension of the high-load resistor has become shorter to about 2 to 4 microns. At this level, as shown in the conventional device shown in FIG. The resistivity of polycrystalline silicon obtained by chemical vapor deposition or sputtering is 1×105 to 1×10”Ω-m.
That's about it. Therefore, as miniaturization progresses, it becomes difficult to use polycrystalline silicon as a high-resistance material.

つ酸化膜あるいは窒化膜を得るようにしたものである。To explain the background to the present invention, conventionally, when a silicon/oxide film or a silicon nitride film contains a trace amount of metal impurity in the process of forming the film, the insulation properties of these films deteriorate. In the present invention, as described above, an oxide film or a nitride film having a desired resistance can be obtained by mixing these impurity metals with good controllability by ion implantation.

である。During this ion implantation, it is important to appropriately select a metal whose energy for forming silico/oxide film is lower than the energy for forming oxides and nitrides of the implanted metal.
本発明に適用される金属としてはW、Mo。Metals applicable to the present invention include W and Mo.

きる。以下実施例・を用いて詳細に説明する。High melting point metals such as Ta and Ti can be used without any difference and have similar effects, but it is desirable to make further improvements to reduce defects when implanted. for example,
The formation energy of titanium oxide is lower than that of silicon oxide. For this reason, titanium may cause the silicon/oxide film to dissociate during the heat treatment process, forming locally low-resistance defective portions, making it impossible to control the resistance. In such cases, the occurrence of such defects can be prevented by further implanting other ions. In the case of titanium, the occurrence of defects can be reduced by implanting titanium and nitrogen at the same location. A detailed explanation will be given below using Examples.

The portion 6 in the figure is a high load resistance portion of the memory cell. The high load resistor was created using the following process. After forming an oxide film for isolation between elements, a negative type highly heat-resistant electron beam resist 7 is used to expose the film to a 1 micrometer wide and 4 mm long.
Forms micrometer patterns. Next, in this example, ions of silicon, aluminum, titanium, and tungsten 8 were implanted into separate samples so that the resistance ranged from 106Ω to 1010Ω after the memory fabrication process was completed. Thereafter, after removing the resist, polycrystalline silicon 3 is deposited by low pressure vapor phase epitaxy and further diffused.

The interlayer insulating film 9 was formed by ion-implanting the same metal as in Example 1.

になった。The polycrystalline silicon 4 in which the thin film 5 is diffused is processed into a predetermined wiring shape. Next, oxidize the polycrystalline silicon to approximately 100 to 200
An interlayer oxide film of nm thickness is formed. Next, a hole of 1 micron square is made in the resist 7 by electron beam exposure. Next, after ion implantation of metal 8 and removal of the resist, aluminum electrode wiring 10 is formed. By forming the load on the polycrystalline silicon wiring in this way, it has become possible to achieve high p-integration.

積に対して効果がある。On the other hand, by implanting metal ions at a high concentration, it is possible to obtain wiring having a resistance equal to or lower than that of polycrystalline silicon in which phosphorus is diffused. Therefore, by using this wiring instead of polycrystalline silicon wiring, silicon elements can be planarized and miniaturized, which is effective for high integration of various semiconductor devices.
