After mounting the silicon substrate 1 on which the interlayer insulating layer lower metal wiring 2 was completed in a plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor, the silicon substrate 1 was cracked at a predetermined temperature and then the interlayer insulating film 3 was deposited. It consists.
상기한 종래 기술의 층간절연막 방법은 제1도에 도시된 바와 같이 층간절연막 하층금속배선(2)을 일반적인 알루미늄 또는 알루미늄 합금을 사용하여 형성시킨 실리콘기판(1)을 플라즈마 화학기상증착(PECVD)반응기 내로 장착한후 다음과 같은 처리조건에 의해 층간절연막(3)을 증착시킨다.In the above-described conventional interlayer insulating film method, as shown in FIG. 1, a plasma chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) reactor is used to form a silicon substrate (1) on which an interlayer insulating film lower layer metal wiring (2) is formed using a general aluminum or aluminum alloy. After mounting therein, the interlayer insulating film 3 is deposited by the following processing conditions.
우선 제2도에서 시간과 온도의 변화를 나타낸 바와같이 층간절연막(3) 성형시간(8)(약 30~60분)과 플라즈마 화학기상증착 반응기의 온도(5)250~400℃의 일정온도 범위에서 플라즈마 화학기상 증착반응기 내의 층간절연막(3)은 실리콘기판의 균열 및 개스 압력 등의 제어에 의해 증착되도록 조건을 확보하여, 제1도의 층간절연막(3)을 증착시킨후 개스공급중단 및 대기압으로 환원하여 플라즈마 화학기상증착 반응기를 개방하고 실리콘기판(1)을 탈착한다.First, as shown in FIG. 2, the time and temperature change are shown, the forming time of the interlayer insulating film 3 (8) (about 30 to 60 minutes) and the temperature of the plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor (5) are a constant temperature range of 250 to 400 ° C. In the plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor, the interlayer insulating film 3 in the plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor is ensured to be deposited by control of the crack and gas pressure of the silicon substrate, and the interlayer insulating film 3 of FIG.

When the temperature (5) is in the range of 250 to 300 [deg.] C., as shown in FIG. 1A, the heellock 10 grows as the interlayer insulating film lower layer metal wiring 2 is exposed for a long time at a relatively high temperature. As a result, the insulating properties of the interlayer insulating film 3 are lowered, and the interlayer insulating film 3 is poor in step coverage and causes breakage.
또한 플라즈마 화학기상증착 반응기의 온도(5)를 350°~400[℃]의 범위로 하는 경우 제1도(b)에 나타낸 바와같이 단차피복성은 우수하지만 고온에서 장시간 노출됨에 따른 층간절연막 하층 금속배선(2)의 힐록(10)성장에 의해 층간절연막(3)의 절연특성이 저하되는 문제점이 있었다.In addition, when the temperature (5) of the plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor is in the range of 350 ° to 400 [° C.], as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the step coverage is excellent, but the interlayer insulating film lower layer metal wiring due to long exposure at high temperature There was a problem that the insulating properties of the interlayer insulating film 3 were lowered due to the growth of the hillock 10 in (2).

After mounting in the reactor, while the temperature of the silicon substrate 1 is in a low state (150-200 ° C.), an interlayer insulating film having a thickness of 800 to 1500 kW (Om Strong) is deposited in one step, and the temperature is 350 to The silicon substrate 1 is cracked in the range of 400 ° C. and then deposited by the minimum interlayer insulating film thickness.
이하, 상기한 본 발명의 층간절연막 증착방법 및 작용효과를 첨부된 도면에 따라 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the above-described interlayer insulating film deposition method and effect of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
우선 제3도에 도시된 바와같이 금속배선의 층간절연막(3)을 플라즈마 화학기상증착방법을 이용한 실리콘 질화물이나 실리콘 산화물로써 증착시키는 경우 층간절연막 하층금속배선(2)을 알루미늄 또는 알루미늄 합금으로 사용하여 완성된 실리콘기판(1)을 플라즈마 화학기상증착 반응기내에 장착시킨 후, 다음과 같은 2단계 처리조건에 의해 층간절연막을 증착시킨다. 우선 제4도에 층간절연막(3)을 입히는 시간과 온도를 나타낸 바와 같이 증착 절연막 형성전의 준비시간(7)(7')은 플라즈마 화학기상증착 반응기의 최종온도(5) 350~400℃사이의 일정온도로 실리콘기판(1)의 온도가 상승하기전이며, 1단계 층간절연막 증착온도(9') 150℃에 도달하는 시간(9) 5~10분 동안 개스 압력 등의 제어에 의해 층간절연막(3)을 증착하도록 조건을 확보하여 두께 800~1500Å(옴스트롱)의 1단계 층간절연막(3)을 증착시킨다.First, as shown in FIG. 3, when the interlayer insulating film 3 of the metal wiring is deposited with silicon nitride or silicon oxide using a plasma chemical vapor deposition method, the interlayer insulating film underlayer metal wiring 2 is used as aluminum or an aluminum alloy. After the completed silicon substrate 1 is mounted in a plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor, an interlayer insulating film is deposited by the following two-step processing conditions. First, as shown in FIG. 4, the time and temperature at which the interlayer insulating film 3 is applied, the preparation time (7) (7 ') before the deposition insulating film formation is performed between 350 and 400 ° C in the final temperature (5) of the plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor. Before the temperature of the silicon substrate 1 rises to a predetermined temperature, the first stage interlayer dielectric film deposition temperature (9 ') reaches a temperature of 150 DEG C. (9) for 5 to 10 minutes. 3) The conditions are ensured to deposit, and the first-level interlayer insulating film 3 having a thickness of 800 to 1500 kW (Om Strong) is deposited.
또한 2단계 층간절연막 형성전의 준비시간(7') 20~30분을 갖는후 플라즈마 화학기상증착 반응기의 최종온도(5) 350~400℃의 범위로 실리콘기판(1)을 균열시킨 뒤에 1단계 층간절연막 두께를 감안하여 최종 층간절연막(3) 두께만큼 층간절연막 형성시간(8) 동안 증착시키며, 상기 층간절연막(3) 증착후 개스공급중단 및 대기압으로 환원하여 플라즈마 화학기상증착 반응기를 개방하고 실리콘기판(1)을 탈착한다.In addition, after the preparation time (7 ') 20 to 30 minutes before the formation of the two-stage interlayer insulating film, the silicon substrate (1) is cracked in the range of 350 to 400 ° C. in the final temperature (5) of the plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor. In consideration of the thickness of the insulating film, the thickness of the final insulating film 3 is deposited for the formation time of the insulating film 8, and after the deposition of the insulating film 3, the gas supply is stopped and reduced to atmospheric pressure to open the plasma chemical vapor deposition reactor and the silicon substrate. Remove (1).
이와같은 본 발명인 2단계 층간절연막 증착방법에 있어서 먼저 1단계 증착을 실시하도록 하여 층간절연막 하층 금속배선 상의 힐록 성장을 억제시킬 수 있으므로 층간절연막의 절연특성을 우수하게 유지할 수 있고, 2단계 증착은 최종 층간절연막 두께만큼 증착함에 따라 단차 피복성을 우수하게 할 수 있다.In the two-step interlayer dielectric film deposition method of the present invention, first step deposition is performed to suppress hillock growth on the metal layer under the interlayer dielectric film, thereby maintaining excellent insulation characteristics of the interlayer dielectric film, and the second stage deposition By depositing the thickness of the interlayer insulating film, it is possible to improve the step coverage.
즉, 1단계 저온증착과 제2단계 고온증착을 연속적으로 함에 의해 저온증착의 문제점인 단차피복성 악화를 극복하고 고온 증착만을 실시할 경우에 생기는 층간절연막 하층금속선의 힐록성장에 기인한 층간절연막의 절연특성저하가 일어나지 않도록 하는 효과가 있다.That is, the interlayer insulation film resulting from the hillock growth of the metal layer under the interlayer insulation film produced when only the high temperature deposition is performed by overcoming the deterioration of the step coverage, which is a problem of the low temperature deposition, by continuously performing the first and second high temperature depositions. There is an effect that the insulation characteristic degradation does not occur.
