Description
본 발명은 반도체 소자의 제조 공정에 관한 것으로, 특히 알루미늄 합금막의 부식을 방지하는데 적당한 알루미늄 합금막의 부식방지방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a method for preventing corrosion of an aluminum alloy film suitable for preventing corrosion of an aluminum alloy film.
일반적으로 반도체 소자의 제조 공정에 있어서 포토레지스트(Photo Resist)를 이용한 공정은 집적회로(IC : Integrated Circuit)의 발달에 큰 영향을 주었다.In general, a process using a photo resist in the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device has a great influence on the development of an integrated circuit (IC).
즉, 미세회로 공정기술의 발달과 더불어 일정한 칩면적에 보다 많은 회로의 집적을 가능하게하여 칩의 고집적화 및 대용량화를 가능하게 하였다.That is, with the development of microcircuit process technology, it is possible to integrate more circuits in a certain chip area, thereby enabling high integration and large capacity of chips.
이와 같은 포토레지스트를 이용한 식각 공정은 알루미늄 합금막상에 원하는 포토레지스트 패턴을 형성하고, 포토레지스트 패턴을 마스크로 이용하여 알루미늄 합금막을 선택적으로 식각하는 것이다.In such an etching process using a photoresist, a desired photoresist pattern is formed on the aluminum alloy film, and the aluminum alloy film is selectively etched using the photoresist pattern as a mask.
이때, 후속공정을 진행하기에 앞서 남아 있는 포토레지스트 패턴을 제거하는데, 식각공정에 따른 잔여물인 미세 폴리머가 알루미늄 합금막에 어느 정도 남아 있어 이후 알루미늄 합금막의 표면에 부식물이 발생한다.At this time, the remaining photoresist pattern is removed before proceeding to the subsequent process, and the fine polymer, which remains as a result of the etching process, remains in the aluminum alloy film to some extent, and then a corrosive material is generated on the surface of the aluminum alloy film.
여기서 알루미늄 합금막은 전극배선 재료로서 소자의 고밀도화의 미세가공 기술의 최종 목표로 되어 있어 소자의 특성을 향상시키기 위해서는 상기와 같은 폴리머를 제거해야 한다.In this case, the aluminum alloy film is an electrode wiring material, which is the final target of the high-density microfabrication technology of the device, and thus, the above polymer must be removed to improve the device properties.
이하, 첨부된 도면을 참고하여 종래의 알루미늄 합금막의 부식방지방법을 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described a corrosion prevention method of a conventional aluminum alloy film.
도 1a 내지 도 1d는 종래의 알루미늄 합금막의 부식방지방법을 나타낸 공정단면도이다.1A to 1D are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of preventing corrosion of a conventional aluminum alloy film.
도 1a에 도시한 바와같이 반도체 기판(11)상에 제 1 베리어층(Barrier Layer)(12)을 증착하고, 상기 제 1 베리어층(12)상에 알루미늄(Al) 합금막(13)을 증착한다.As shown in FIG. 1A, a
이어, 상기 알루미늄 합금막(13)상에 제 2 베리어층(14)을 증착하고, 상기 제 2 베리어층(14)상에 포토레지스트(15)를 도포한 후, 노광 및 현상공정으로 포토레지스트(15)를 패터닝(Patterning)한다.Subsequently, the
도 1b에 도시한 바와같이 상기 패터닝된 포토레지스트(15)를 마스크로 이용하여 BCl3/Cl2가스를 이용한 이방성 식각으로 제 2 베리어층(14)과 알루미늄 합금막(13)과 제 1 베리어층(12)을 선택적으로 식각하여 알루미늄 배선(13a)을 형성한다.As shown in FIG. 1B, the
이때 상기 포토레지스트(15)와 알루미늄 배선(13a)의 표면에 Cl기(16)와 폴리머(17)가 발생한다.At this time, the
도 1c에 도시한 바와같이 상기 포토레지스트(15)를 제거한다. 이때 상기 포토레지스트(15) 제거공정에서 생기는 포토레지스트성 폴리머가 알루미늄 배선(13a)의 측면에 두껍게 증착된다.As shown in Fig. 1C, the
그리고 상기 알루미늄 배선(13a)의 측면에 잔존한 Cl기(16)가 알루미늄 배선(13a)의 알루미늄(Al)과 반응하여 부식이 발생한다.The
도 1d에 도시한 바와같이 상기 Cl기(16)와 폴리머(17)를 제거하기 위하여 NMD-3 용액을 이용하여 현상처리 작업을 실시한다.As shown in FIG. 1D, a development treatment operation is performed using an NMD-3 solution to remove the
이어, 상기 알루미늄 배선(13a)에 UVAS장비로 O3을 주입하여 상기 알루미늄 배선(13a)의 측면에 더 이상의 부식방지를 위한 부동태막으로 Al2O3막(18)을 형성한다.Subsequently, O 3 is injected into the
그러나 상기와 같은 종래의 알루미늄 합금막의 부식방지방법에 있어서 현상처리액은 알루미늄과 화학반응이 가능함으로 현상처리액의 농도가 심하게 하면 알루미늄의 배선 폭이 줄어들어 알루미늄 저항에 문제가 발생한다.However, in the corrosion preventing method of the conventional aluminum alloy film as described above, since the developing solution is capable of chemical reaction with aluminum, if the concentration of the developing solution is high, the wiring width of the aluminum decreases, which causes a problem in aluminum resistance.
따라서 알루미늄 배선 저항의 문제 때문에 포토레지스트의 제거시 발생되는 폴리머의 완전한 제거가 어려우며, 알루미늄 배선의 측면의 Cl기의 제거율이 70%밖에 안되기 때문에 Cl기와 알루미늄이 반응하여 부동태막 형성전에 알루미늄 배선의 측면이 부식되어 소자의 신뢰성을 저하시키는 문제점이 있었다.Therefore, due to the problem of the resistance of the aluminum wiring, it is difficult to completely remove the polymer generated when the photoresist is removed. Since the Cl removal rate of the Cl group on the side of the aluminum wiring is only 70%, the Cl group and the aluminum react to form the side of the aluminum wiring before the passivation film is formed. This corrosion caused a problem of lowering the reliability of the device.
본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출한 것으로 알루미늄 배선의 측면에 증착되는 폴리머의 양을 줄임으로써 알루미늄 배선의 부식을 방지하도록 한 알루미늄 합금막의 부식방지방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.An object of the present invention is to provide a method for preventing corrosion of an aluminum alloy film to prevent corrosion of aluminum wiring by reducing the amount of polymer deposited on the side of the aluminum wiring to solve the above problems.
