Description
본 발명은 반도체 소자의 필드산화막 형성 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 버즈빅(Bird's Beak)의 생성을 최소화시킬 수 있도록 한 반도체 소자의 필드산화막 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of forming a field oxide film of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method of forming a field oxide film of a semiconductor device to minimize generation of Bird's Beak.
일반적으로 반도체 소자의 제조 공정에서 소자와 소자 또는 주변 지역과 메모리 셀 지역을 전기적으로 분리시키기 위하여 소자분리 영역에 필드산화막을 형성한다. 이러한 필드산화막은 LOCOS(Local Oxidation of Silicon) 또는 PBLOCOS(Poly Buffered LOCOS) 공정에 의해 형성되는데, 그러면 PBLOCOS 공정을 이용한 종래 반도체 소자의 필드산화막 형성 방법을 제1(a)도 내지 제1(c)도를 통해 설명하면 다음과 같다.In general, in the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device, a field oxide film is formed in a device isolation region in order to electrically separate a device and a device, or a peripheral region and a memory cell region. The field oxide film is formed by a Local Oxidation of Silicon (LOCOS) or Poly Buffered LOCOS (PBLOCOS) process. Then, a method of forming a field oxide film of a conventional semiconductor device using the PBLOCOS process is shown in FIGS. 1 (a) to 1 (c). When described with reference to the following.
종래에는 제1(a)도에 도시된 바와 같이 실리콘 기판(1)상에 패드 산화막(2), 폴리실리콘층(3) 및 질화막(4)을 순차적으로 형성한 후 제1(b)도에 도시된 바와 같이 소자분리 영역의 상기 실리콘 기판(1)이 노출되도록 상기 질화막(4), 폴리실리콘층(3) 및 패드 산화막(2)을 순차적으로 패터닝한다. 그리고 패터닝된 상기 질화막(4)을 산화 방지층으로 이용한 산화 공정을 실시하여 노출된 부분의 상기 실리콘 기판(1)에 제1(c)도에 도시된 바와 같이 필드산화막(5)을 형성한다. 그런데 상기와 같이 이루어지는 PBLOCOS 공정은 산화 공정시 산화제의 측면확산으로 인해 상기 필드 산화막(5) 양측부에 버즈빅(A 부분)이 생성되기 때문에 활성 영역의 크기가 감소된다. 더욱이 상기 PBLOCOS 공정은 폴리실리콘층을 사용하기 때문에 버즈빅이 이중으로 형성되며, 따라서 고집적 소자의 제조에 상기 PBLOCOS공정을 더 이상 적용하기 어려운 실정이다.Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the pad oxide film 2, the polysilicon layer 3, and the nitride film 4 are sequentially formed on the silicon substrate 1, and then in FIG. 1 (b). As illustrated, the nitride film 4, the polysilicon layer 3, and the pad oxide film 2 are sequentially patterned to expose the silicon substrate 1 in the device isolation region. Then, an oxidation process using the patterned nitride film 4 as an oxidation prevention layer is performed to form the field oxide film 5 on the exposed silicon substrate 1 as shown in FIG. 1 (c). However, in the PBLOCOS process as described above, the size of the active region is reduced because Buzz Big (part A) is formed at both sides of the field oxide film 5 due to side diffusion of the oxidant during the oxidation process. Furthermore, since the PBLOCOS process uses a polysilicon layer, it is difficult to apply the PBLOCOS process to the production of highly integrated devices.
따라서 본 발명은 실리콘 기판과 패드 산화막의 계면에 산화질화막을 형성하므로써 상기한 단점을 해소할 수 있는 반도체 소자의 필드산화막 형성 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a field oxide film of a semiconductor device which can solve the above disadvantages by forming an oxynitride film at an interface between a silicon substrate and a pad oxide film.
