Description
본 발명은 반도체 소자의 층간 절연막 형성 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 도전층간의 절연 및 평탄화를 목적으로 형성하는 반도체 소자의 층간 절연막 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for forming an interlayer insulating film of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for forming an interlayer insulating film of a semiconductor device formed for the purpose of insulating and planarization between conductive layers.
일반적으로 반도체 소자의 제조 공정에서 도전층은 이중 또는 다중 구조로 형성되며 도전층간에는 절연 및 평탄화를 위한 층간 절연막이 형성된다. 그러면 종래 반도체 소자의 층간 절연막 형성 방법을 도1a 내지 도1c를 통해 설명하면 다음과 같다.In general, in the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device, the conductive layer has a double or multiple structure, and an interlayer insulating film for insulation and planarization is formed between the conductive layers. A method of forming an interlayer insulating film of a conventional semiconductor device will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 1C.
도1a는 절연막(2)이 형성된 실리콘 기판(1)상에 도전층 패턴(3)을 형성한 후 전체 상부면에 제1산화막(4)을 형성하고 상기 제1산화막(3)상에 SOG막(5)을 도포한 상태의 단면도이다.FIG. 1A shows that after forming the conductive layer pattern 3 on the silicon substrate 1 on which the insulating film 2 is formed, the first oxide film 4 is formed on the entire upper surface, and the SOG film is formed on the first oxide film 3. It is sectional drawing of the state which apply | coated (5).
도1b는 표면을 평탄화시키기 위하여 상기 SOG막(5)을 에치백한 상태의 단면도로서, 이때 상기 SOG막(5)이 과도 식각되는 경우 상기 도전층 패턴(3)이 노출되고 표면의 평탄도가 불량해진다. 이러한 현상은 상기 에치백 공정시 식각 정지점을 정확하게 감지하지 못함에 따라 발생되는데, 상기 SOG막(5)이 상기 도전층 패턴(3)과 접촉되는 경우 상기 SOG막(5)으로부터 방출되는 수분에 의해 후속 공정시 불량이 발생되거나 소자의 신뢰성이 저하된다.FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view of the SOG film 5 etched back to planarize the surface. In this case, when the SOG film 5 is excessively etched, the conductive layer pattern 3 is exposed and the flatness of the surface is exposed. It becomes bad. This phenomenon occurs when the etching stop point is not accurately sensed during the etch back process. When the SOG film 5 is in contact with the conductive layer pattern 3, the moisture is emitted from the SOG film 5. As a result, defects occur in subsequent processes or the reliability of the device is degraded.
도1c는 전체 상부면에 제2산화막(6)을 형성한 상태의 단면도인데, 전체적인 표면의 평탄도가 불량한 상태가 도시된다. 그러므로 이러한 표면의 평탄도불량에 의해 후속 공정의 진행이 어려워지고 심한 경우 소자의 불량이 유발되기 때문에 상기와 같은 방법을 0.25㎛이하의 디자인 룰(Design Rule)을 갖는 고집적 소자의 제조에 적용하기 어렵게 된다.FIG. 1C is a cross-sectional view of a state in which the second oxide film 6 is formed on the entire upper surface, and a state in which the flatness of the entire surface is poor is shown. Therefore, it is difficult to apply the above method to the fabrication of highly integrated devices having design rules of 0.25 μm or less, because of poor surface flatness, which makes it difficult to proceed with subsequent processes and, in severe cases, causes device defects. do.
따라서 본 발명은 SOG막 하부에 질화산화막과 산화막이 적층된 막을 형성하므로써 상기한 단점을 해소할 수 있는 반도체 소자의 층간 절연막 형성 방법을 제공하는 데 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming an interlayer insulating film of a semiconductor device which can solve the above-mentioned disadvantages by forming a film in which a nitride oxide film and an oxide film are stacked below the SOG film.
상기한 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명은 실리콘 기판상에 도전층 패턴을 형성한 후 전체 상부면에 질화 산화막 및 희생 산화막을 순차적으로 형성하는 단계와, 전체 상부면에 SOG막을 증착한 후 경화 공정을 실시하는 단계와, 상기 질화 산화막을 식각 정지 감지층으로 이용하여 상기 SOG막 및 희생 산화막을 에치 백하는 단계와, 전체 상부면에 산화막을 형성하는 단계를 포함하여 이루어지는 것을 특징으로 한다.The present invention for achieving the above object is to form a nitride layer and a sacrificial oxide film sequentially on the entire upper surface after forming a conductive layer pattern on the silicon substrate, and after the SOG film is deposited on the entire upper surface of the curing process And etching back the SOG film and the sacrificial oxide film using the nitride oxide film as an etch stop detection layer, and forming an oxide film on the entire upper surface thereof.

The surface flatness is improved by detecting. In this case, the SOG film 16 etch back process will be further described as follows.
상기 불소가 함유된 가스를 이용한 플라즈마 식각 공정으로 상기 SOG막(16)을 에치백하면 소정 시간 후 상기 제2절연막(15) 및 제1절연막(14)이 순차적으로 노출된다. 이때 상기 질화 산화막인 제1절연막(14)이 식각되면 반응로내에 질소 및 불화질소와 같은 질소 성분의 반응 부산물이 생성되는데, 이를 상기 잔류 가스 분석기가 감지하여 식각 공정을 정지시키게 된다. 여기서 상기 제2절연막(15)은 희생산화막으로 이용된다.When the SOG film 16 is etched back by a plasma etching process using the fluorine-containing gas, the second insulating film 15 and the first insulating film 14 are sequentially exposed after a predetermined time. In this case, when the first insulating layer 14, which is the nitride oxide film, is etched, reaction by-products of nitrogen components such as nitrogen and nitrogen fluoride are generated in the reactor, and the residual gas analyzer detects this to stop the etching process. In this case, the second insulating layer 15 is used as a sacrificial oxide layer.
