Abstract
Description
본 발명은 반도체소자에 관한 것으로서, 특히 확산방지막으로 Ta-Si-N 비정질박막을 사용함에 있어서, TaSi2를 콘택층(contact layer)로 사용하여 Ta-Si-N 비정질 확산방지막과 실리콘(Si)과의 반응을 막아주는 동시에 접촉저항을 낮추는 역할을 함으로써, 확산방지막의 성능을 극대화시키는데 적당한 반도체소자의 배선구조 및 형성방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a semiconductor device. In particular, in using a Ta-Si-N amorphous thin film as a diffusion barrier, TaSi 2 is used as a contact layer and a Ta-Si-N amorphous diffusion barrier and a silicon (Si) layer. The present invention relates to a wiring structure and a method of forming a semiconductor device suitable for maximizing the performance of a diffusion barrier film by preventing a reaction with the same and lowering a contact resistance.
일반적으로 반도체소자의 고집적화에 따른 금속배선의 폭이 감소함에 따라 배선재료로써 알루미늄보다 비저항이 낮은 구리(Cu)를 사용하고 있다.In general, copper (Cu) having a lower resistivity than aluminum is used as the wiring material as the width of metal wiring decreases due to the high integration of semiconductor devices.
구리를 배선재료로 사용할 경우, 실리콘(Si) 내에서의 확산이 빨라서 실리콘(Si)내로 침투해 들어갈 경우 실리콘 내부의 깊숙한 곳에 불순물층을 형성하여 누설전류를 증가시키게 된다.When copper is used as a wiring material, when diffusion into silicon (Si) is fast and penetrates into silicon (Si), an impurity layer is formed deep inside silicon to increase leakage current.
이로인해 소자의 오동작이 유발시킨다.This causes a malfunction of the device.
따라서, 구리(Cu)와 실리콘(Si)과의 사이에 구리의 확산을 방지하기 위한 확산방지막이 필요하게 되며, 종래에 사용하던 티타늄 나이트라이드(TiN)외에도 새로운 물질들이 연구되도 있다.Therefore, a diffusion barrier layer for preventing the diffusion of copper between copper (Cu) and silicon (Si) is required, and new materials have been studied in addition to titanium nitride (TiN).
최근에는 고온까지 안정한 삼원계 비정질 확산방지막이 주목을 받고 있는데 특히, Ta-Si-N 비정질박막은 비저항이 낮고 비교적 고온까지 안정하여 현재까지 가장 널리 사용되고 있다.Recently, ternary amorphous diffusion barrier films that are stable up to high temperatures have been attracting attention. In particular, Ta-Si-N amorphous thin films have a low specific resistance and are stable to relatively high temperatures and are most widely used to date.
이하, 종래 반도체소자의 배선구조를 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, a wiring structure of a conventional semiconductor device will be described.
도 1은 종래 제 1 실시예에 따른 반도체소자의 배선구조를 설명하기 위한 단면도이다.1 is a cross-sectional view for describing a wiring structure of a semiconductor device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
도 1에 도시한 바와같이, 기판(11)과, 상기 기판(11)의 소정부분이 노출되도록 콘택홀을 갖는 절연층(12)과, 상기 콘택홀을 통해 상기 노출된 기판(11)과 연결되는 Ta-Si-N 비정질박막(13)과, 상기 Ta-Si-N 비정질박막(13)상에 형성된 배선층(14)으로 구성된다.As shown in FIG. 1, a
여기서, 상기 Ta-Si-N 비정질박막(13)은 확산방지막으로써, 상기 배선층(14)으로 사용되는 구리(Cu)로부터 불순물이 기판(11)으로 확산되는 것을 방지하는 역할을 한다.Here, the Ta-Si-N amorphous
이어, 도 2는 종래 제 2 실시예에 따른 반도체소자의 배선구조를 도시한 단면도이다.2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a wiring structure of a semiconductor device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
도 2에 도시한 바와같이, 기판(11)과, 상기 기판(11)의 소정부분이 노출되도록 콘택홀을 갖는 절연층(12)과, 상기 절연층(12)을 포함하여 노출된 기판(11)상에 형성되는 콘택층(15)과, 상기 콘택층(15)상에 형성된 확산방지막(13)과, 상기 Ta-Si-N 비정질박막(13)상에 형성된 배선층(14)으로 구성된다.As shown in FIG. 2, the

상기 Ti-Si2층(15)은 확산방지막으로 사용되는 Ti-Si-N 비정질박막(13)과 기판(11)과의 접합면에서의 접촉저항을 감소시키기 위해 사용한다.The Ti-Si 2 layer 15 is used to reduce the contact resistance at the bonding surface between the Ti-Si-N amorphous
이와같이, Ti-Si2/Ta-Si-N/Cu의 구조는 Ta-Si-N/Cu구조보다 확산방지특성이 더 우수하다.As such, the structure of Ti-Si 2 / Ta-Si-N / Cu has better diffusion preventing characteristics than the structure of Ta-Si-N / Cu.
그러나 상기와 같은 종래 반도체소자 배선구조는 Ta-Si-N 비정질박막이 실리콘과 직접 접촉시 열역학적으로 불안정하여 후속 열처리 과정에서 확산방지특성의 열하를 초래하여 소자의 신뢰성을 저하시키는 요인으로 작용하는 문제점이 있었다.However, the conventional semiconductor device wiring structure as described above has a problem that Ta-Si-N amorphous thin film is thermodynamically unstable in direct contact with silicon, causing deterioration of diffusion preventing properties during subsequent heat treatment, thereby degrading device reliability. There was this.
본 발명은 상기의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출한 것으로써, Ta-Si-N비정질 박막과 실리콘과의 반응성을 열역학적인 계산을 통하여 예측하고, 이를 바탕으로 열처리시 반응을 억제할 수 있는 TaSi2를 확산방지막과 실리콘 사이에 삽입함으로써, 확산방지특성을 극대화시켜 소자의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위한 반도체소자의 배선구조를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and predicted the reactivity of Ta-Si-N amorphous thin film with silicon through thermodynamic calculation, based on the TaSi 2 which can suppress the reaction during heat treatment It is an object of the present invention to provide a wiring structure of a semiconductor device for improving the reliability of the device by maximizing the diffusion prevention characteristics by interposed between the diffusion barrier film and the silicon.

이하, 본 발명에 따른 반도체소자의 배선구조를 첨부도면을 참조하여 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, a wiring structure of a semiconductor device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
먼저, 본 발명은 삼원계 상태도상에서 Ta-Si-N 비정질박막의 조성과 실리콘(Si)사이에는 타이라인(tie line)이 존재할 수 없으므로 상기 두 물질은 열역학적으로 안정하지 못하다.First, in the present invention, since the tie line cannot exist between the composition of the Ta-Si-N amorphous thin film and the silicon (Si) in the ternary state diagram, the two materials are not thermodynamically stable.
따라서, 후속 열처리 과정중에 반응하여 결점을 유발시키게 되는데 본 발명에 따른 TaSi2와 실리콘과의 사이에는 타이라인(tie line)이 존재하게 된다.Therefore, it causes a defect by reacting during the subsequent heat treatment process, and there is a tie line between TaSi 2 and silicon according to the present invention.
따라서, 열적으로 안정하며, 또, 실리사이드이므로 접촉저항도 우수하다.Therefore, it is thermally stable and is excellent in contact resistance because it is silicide.
