Description
본 발명은 반도체 장치 제조 방법에 관한 것으로 특히, 마스크 정렬 오차에 의하여 발생하는 소자의 신뢰도 저하를 방지하기 위한 반도체 장치의 콘택홀 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for forming a contact hole in a semiconductor device for preventing a decrease in reliability of a device caused by a mask alignment error.
이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 종래 기술에 따른 콘택홀 형성 방법을 설명한다Hereinafter, a method for forming a contact hole according to the related art will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
먼저, 도1a에 도시한 바와 같이 실리콘 기판(11) 상에 소자분리를 위한 절연막(12)을 형성한 후 게이트 산화막(13)을 형성한다. 다음으로 폴리실리콘막으로 게이트 전극(14)을 형성하고 이온주입 방지막으로 사용되는 측벽산화막(15)을 형성한다. 이어서, 소정의 공정을 실시한 후, 실리콘산화막으로 층간절연막(16)을 형성하고 선택적으로 식각하여 콘택홀(17)을 형성한다.First, as shown in FIG. 1A, an
상기와 같이 이루어지는 종래의 콘택홀 형성 방법은 소자의 집적도가 증가함에 따라 마스크 공정에서 발생하는 약간의 정렬 오차에 의해서도 콘택홀 내에 형성되는 전도막과 게이트 전극을 이루는 워드라인(word line)이 전기적으로 쇼트(short)되는 문제점이 있다.In the conventional method for forming a contact hole as described above, a word line forming a conductive film and a gate electrode electrically formed in the contact hole is electrically formed by a slight alignment error generated in the mask process as the degree of integration of the device increases. There is a problem of shorting.
상기 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 종래 기술로 실리콘질화막을 형성하여 식각 장벽막으로 사용하는 실리콘질화막 장벽 자기정렬 콘택홀(silicon nitride barrier self aligned contact hole) 형성 방법을 이용하기도 한다. 이하, 도1b를 참조하여 종래 기술에 따른 실리콘질화막 장벽 자기정렬 콘택홀 형성 방법을 설명한다.In order to solve the above problem, a method of forming a silicon nitride barrier self aligned contact hole using a silicon nitride layer and forming an etching barrier layer may be used. Hereinafter, a method of forming a silicon nitride film barrier self-aligned contact hole according to the prior art will be described with reference to FIG. 1B.
먼저, 도시한 바와 같이 게이트 전극(14) 상에 식각장벽으로 산화질화막(18)을 형성하고 전체 구조 상부에 실리콘질화막(19)을 형성한다. 이어서, 실리콘산화막으로 층간절연막(16)을 형성한 후 선택적으로 식각하여 콘택홀(17)을 형성한다. 이때 상기 층간절연막(16)과 식각율이 다른 실리콘질화막(19)은 제거되지 않고 남는다. 이어서, 상기 실리콘질화막(19)을 식각하여 반도체 기판(11)이 드러나도록 하는데 상기 실리콘질화막(19)과 식각율이 다른 상기 산화질화막(18)이 게이트 전극(14)이 노출되는 것을 방지하여 쇼트를 방지할 수 있다.First, as shown, an
그러나, 상기 질화막 장벽 자기 정렬 콘택홀 형성 방법은 인접한 폴리실리콘막과의 전기적 쇼트는 방지할 수 있으나 콘택홀의 폭(a)이 좁아지는 단점이 있다.However, the method of forming the nitride barrier barrier self-aligned contact hole prevents electrical short with the adjacent polysilicon film, but has a disadvantage in that the width (a) of the contact hole is narrowed.
상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 본 발명은 이웃하는 전도막과의 쇼트를 방지하며 콘택홀의 폭을 충분히 확보할 수 있는 반도체 장치의 콘택홀 형성 방법을 제공하는 것을 그 목적으로 한다.An object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a contact hole in a semiconductor device capable of preventing a short with a neighboring conductive film and sufficiently securing the width of the contact hole.
