본 발명은 반도체장치의 콘택홀 형성방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 반도체장치의 콘택흘 형성시 콘택홀이 형성되는 BPSG(Borophospho silicate glass)막에 이온을 주입함으로써 습식식각만으로 습식 및 건식식각을 함께 진행한 경우와 같은 효과를 얻을 수 있도록 한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for forming a contact hole in a semiconductor device, and in particular, wet and dry etching are performed by wet etching only by implanting ions into a BPSG (Borophospho silicate glass) film in which a contact hole is formed when forming a contact hole of a semiconductor device. This is to achieve the same effect as the case.

종래기술에 의한 반도체장치의 콘택홀 형성방법을 제1도를 참조하여 설명하면 다음과 같다.A method for forming a contact hole in a semiconductor device according to the prior art will now be described with reference to FIG.

먼저, 제1도(a)에 도시된 바와 같이 반도체기판(1)위에 절연층으로서 LTO(Low Temperature Oxide)(2)를 형성하고 이위에 BPSG막(3)을 일정두께로 형성한 후, 포토레지스트(4)를 도포하고 이를 선택적으로 노광 및 현상하여 콘택홀 형성을 위한 포토레지스트패턴(4)을 형성한다.First, as shown in FIG. 1A, a low temperature oxide (LTO) 2 is formed as an insulating layer on the semiconductor substrate 1, and a BPSG film 3 is formed thereon to a predetermined thickness. The resist 4 is applied and selectively exposed and developed to form a photoresist pattern 4 for forming contact holes.

이어서 제1도(b)에 도시된 바와 같이 후속 공정인 금속 스퍼터링공정에서의 스텝 커버리지(step coverage)를 향상시키기 위해 먼저 상기 포토레지스트패턴을 마스크로 하여 상기 BPSG막(3)을 버퍼드 HF(buffered Hydrofluoric acid)로 일정두께 습식식각한다.Subsequently, in order to improve step coverage in a subsequent metal sputtering process as shown in FIG. 1 (b), first, the BPSG film 3 is buffered HF (using the photoresist pattern as a mask). Wet-etched to a certain thickness with buffered hydrofluoric acid.

다음에 제1도(c)에 도시된 바와 같이 콘택홀 형성영역에 잔존하는 BPSG막(3)을 건식식각하고 이에 따라 노출되는 LTO(2)를 식각함으로써 콘택홀을 형성한다.Next, as shown in FIG. 1C, the contact hole is formed by dry etching the BPSG film 3 remaining in the contact hole forming region and etching the exposed LTO 2.

이어서 제1도(d)에 도시된 바와 같이 상기 포토레지스트패턴을 제거한 후, 기판 전면에 금속막(5)을 스퍼터링에 의해 증착한다.Subsequently, after removing the photoresist pattern as shown in FIG. 1 (d), the metal film 5 is deposited on the entire surface of the substrate by sputtering.

상기한 종래기술에 있어서, 상기 BPSG막은 보론(boron)과 인(phosphorus)이 일정량 함유된 막이므로 습식식각시 그 식각속도가 일정하나, 포토레지스트와 BPSG막의 계면으로 식각용액이 침투하여 애스펙트비(aspect ratio)를 감소시킴에 따라 인접한 콘택홀과의 중첩이 발생하는 경우가 있기 때문에 습식식각에 의해 일정두께의 BPSG막을 제거한 다음에 건식식각을 행하여 콘택홀을 형성하였다.In the above conventional technique, since the BPSG film is a film containing a certain amount of boron and phosphorus, the etching rate is constant during wet etching, but the etching solution penetrates into the interface between the photoresist and the BPSG film, resulting in an aspect ratio ( As the aspect ratio is reduced, overlapping with adjacent contact holes may occur, so that the BPSG film having a predetermined thickness is removed by wet etching, followed by dry etching to form the contact hole.

따라서 습식식각만으로는 원하는 바대로 콘택흘을 형성할 수 없어 동일막질에 대해 습식식각과 건식식각을 병행하여 실시해야 하므로 식각시간이 증가하는등 공정상의 번거로움이 초래된다.Therefore, wet etching alone can not form a contact flow as desired, so wet etching and dry etching must be performed in parallel on the same film quality, resulting in process inconvenience such as an increase in etching time.

본 발명은 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위한 것으로, 습식식각만으로 콘택홀을 형성할 수 있는 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.An object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a contact hole by wet etching only.

상기 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 반도체장치의 콘택흘 형성방법은 반도체기판위에 절연층을 형성하는 공정과, 상기 절연층에 선택적으로 불순물 이온을 주입하는 공정, 및 상기 불순물 이온이 주입된 절연층 부분을 선택적으로 습식식각하여 콘택홀을 형성하는 공정으로 이루어진다.The contact flow forming method of the semiconductor device of the present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of forming an insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate, selectively implanting impurity ions into the insulating layer, and the insulating layer implanted with the impurity ions Selectively wet etching portions to form contact holes.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명을 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the present invention.

제2도에 본 발명에 의한 반도체장치의 콘택흘 형성방법을 공정순서에 따라 도시하였다.2 shows a contact flow forming method of a semiconductor device according to the present invention according to the process sequence.

먼저, 제2도(a)에 도시된 바와 갈이 반도체기판(1)위에 절연층으로서 LTO(Low Temperature Oxide)(2)와 BPSG막(3)을 일정두께로 차례로 형성한 후, 포토레지스트(4)를 도포하고 이를 선택적으로 노광 및 현상하여 콘택홀 형성을 위한 포토레지스트패턴(4)을 형성한 다음, 인(phosphorus) 이온을 상기 콘택홀 영역의 노출된 BPSG막(3)에 주입한다.First, a low temperature oxide (LTO) 2 and a BPSG film 3 are sequentially formed on the ground semiconductor substrate 1 as shown in FIG. 2A as an insulating layer, and then a photoresist ( 4) is applied and selectively exposed and developed to form a photoresist pattern 4 for forming contact holes, and then phosphorus ions are implanted into the exposed BPSG film 3 in the contact hole region.

이어서 제2도(b)에 도시된 바와 같이 상기 포토레지스트패턴을 마스크로 하여 상기 이온이 주입된 BPSG막(3)을 버퍼드 HF(buffered Hydrofluoric acid)로 습식식각한다. 이때, 콘택홀이 형성될 영역의 BPSG막에 인(P) 이온을 주입한 후 습식식각을 행하므로 이온이 주입된 부분의 식각속도가 향상되어 애스팩트비가 감소되는 일없이 습식식각만으로 BPSG막을 식각할 수 있으며, 이온주입량 및 에너지를 조절함으로써 식각시간을 조절하는 것이 가능하게 된다. 또한, 식각된 BPSG막의 표면이 곡선형태를 가지게 됨에 따라 후속의 금속 스퍼터링공정시 스텝 커버리지가 향상된다.Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2B, the BPSG film 3 into which the ions are implanted is wet-etched with buffered hydrofluoric acid (HF) using the photoresist pattern as a mask. At this time, the phosphorus (P) ion is implanted into the BPSG film in the region where the contact hole is to be formed, and then wet etching is performed, thereby improving the etching rate of the implanted portion, thereby etching the BPSG film by wet etching alone without reducing the aspect ratio. It is possible to control the etching time by adjusting the ion implantation amount and energy. In addition, as the surface of the etched BPSG film has a curved shape, step coverage is improved in a subsequent metal sputtering process.

다음에 제2도(c)에 도시된 바와 같이 BPSG막(3)의 식각에 따라 노출되는 LTO(2)를 건식식각함으로써 콘택홀을 형성한다.Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, a contact hole is formed by dry etching the LTO 2 exposed by the etching of the BPSG film 3.

이어서 제2도(d)에 도시된 바와 같이 상기 포토레지스트패턴을 제거한 후, 기판 전면에 금속막(5)을 스퍼터링에 의해 증착한다.Subsequently, the photoresist pattern is removed, as shown in FIG.

제3도는 이온주입후의 습식식각에 의한 콘택홀의 스텝커버리지 개선 효과를 실험한 결과를 나타낸 것으로, 제3도(a)는 BPSG막(3)에 이온주입을 행하지 않고 20:1의 BOE(Buffered Oxide Etchant)에 8분간 디핑(dipping)한 경우를 나타낸 것이고, 제3도(b)는 BPSG막(3)에 인 이온을 도우즈량 5.0×1015주입에너지 100eV 조건으로 주입한 후, 20:1의 BOE에 8분간 디핑한 경우를 나타낸 것으로, 이온주입후 습식식각을 행한 제3도(b)의 경우가 스텝커버리지가 향상된 결과를 나타내는 것을 알 수 있다.FIG. 3 shows the results of experiments on the step coverage improvement effect of the contact hole by wet etching after ion implantation. FIG. 3 (a) shows a BOE (Buffered Oxide) of 20: 1 without ion implantation into the BPSG film 3. 8 minutes of dipping (Etchant), and FIG. 3 (b) shows that the phosphorus ion is injected into the BPSG film 3 at a dose of 5.0 × 10 15 implantation energy of 100 eV and then 20: 1 In the case of dipping into BOE for 8 minutes, it can be seen that the step coverage (b) of wet etching after ion implantation shows an improved step coverage.

이와 같이 본 발명에 의하면, 습식식각만으로 콘택홀 형성을 위한 BPSG막의 식각을 행할 수 있으며, 식각속도를 향상시킬 수 있다.As described above, according to the present invention, the BPSG film for forming the contact hole can be etched only by wet etching, and the etching rate can be improved.
