이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명을 상술한다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
제 2A 도 내지 제 2D 도는 본 발명의 제1실시예에 따른 콘택홀 형성 후 금속배선 형성과정을 나타내는 단면도로서, 먼저, 제 2A 도에 도시된 바와 같이 반도체기판(21) 상부에 하지층(22) 형성 후 BPSG막(23)을 증착한다. 이때, BPSG막(23)은 평탄화 목적으로 증착되는 종래의 일반적인 두께보다 1.5배 가량 두껍게 과다 증착되도록 한다.2A to 2D are cross-sectional views illustrating a process of forming a metal wiring after forming a contact hole according to a first embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in FIG. 2A, a base layer 22 is formed on an upper portion of a semiconductor substrate 21. After the formation, the BPSG film 23 is deposited. At this time, the BPSG film 23 is over-deposited about 1.5 times thicker than the conventional general thickness deposited for planarization purposes.
이어서, 제 2B 도에 도시된 바와 같이 상기 BPSG막(23)을 플로우하여 평탄화하되, 단차완화를 위해 플로우가 많이 일어나도록 한 다음. 콘택홀 형성을 위한 식각마스크로 사용될 감광막패턴(50)을 형성한다.Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2B, the BPSG film 23 is flowed and planarized, and a lot of flow occurs to reduce the step difference. A photoresist pattern 50 to be used as an etching mask for forming a contact hole is formed.
계속해서, 제 2C 도에서와 같이 상기 감광막패턴(25)을 식각마스크로 사용하여 하부의 상기 BPSG막(23), 하지층(22)을 식각하되, 하지층이 일부두께 잔류하도록(A)한 다음, 플러그 이온주입 공정을 실시하여 잔류되는 하지층을 뚫고 반도체기판(21)에 이온이 주입되도록 한다. 이때의 이온주입으로 콘택 영역의 상기 BPSG막(23)과 하지층(22)의 식각률(etch rate)(후속 공정의 습식 식각률)이 증대된다.Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2C, the lower BPSG film 23 and the underlying layer 22 are etched using the photosensitive film pattern 25 as an etching mask, but the underlying layer remains partially thick (A). Next, a plug ion implantation process is performed to penetrate the remaining underlayer to inject ions into the semiconductor substrate 21. The ion implantation at this time increases the etch rate (wet etch rate in subsequent steps) of the BPSG film 23 and the underlying layer 22 in the contact region.
끝으로, 제 2D도에 도시된 바와 같이 상기 플러그 이온주입 후 열처리 한 다음, 습식식각으로 상기 BPSG(23)막 및 상기 잔류 하지층(A)을 식각하되. 상기 BPSG막(23)은 과다증착된 두께만큼을 전면적으로 제거하고, 콘택영역의 잔류 하지층(A)은 모두 제거함으로써 콘택영역의 상기 반도체기판(21)을 노출시킨 다음, 금속물질을 증착하여 금속배선(24)을 형성한다.Finally, as shown in FIG. 2D, after the plug ion implantation and heat treatment, the BPSG layer 23 and the residual underlying layer A are etched by wet etching. The BPSG film 23 completely removes the overdeposited thickness and removes all the remaining underlayer A of the contact region, thereby exposing the semiconductor substrate 21 in the contact region, and then depositing a metal material. The metal wiring 24 is formed.
제 3A 도 내지 제 3D 도는 본 발명의 제2실시예에 따른 콘택홀 형성과정을 나타내는 단면도로서, 제1실시예와는 달리 BPSG막을 정규두께로 형성하면서 결정결함 및 스텝커버리지를 향상시킬 수 있는 콘택홀 형성 방법을 보여준다.3A to 3D are cross-sectional views illustrating a process of forming a contact hole according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the first embodiment, a contact that can improve crystal defects and step coverage while forming a BPSG film at a regular thickness is shown in FIG. Demonstrate the hole formation method.
먼저, 제 3A도에 도시된 바와 같이 반도체기판(31) 상부에 하지층(32) 형성후 BPSG막(33)을 증착한 후 플로우한다. 계속해서, 상기 BPSG막(33) 상부에 질화막(36), 액상절연체(liquid phase dielectric, LPD)막(37)을 증착하여 평탄화한다. 이때, 질화막(36)은 액상절연체막의 식각정지층 역할을 하게되며, 후속 공정에서 과도식각에 의한 추가적인 BPSG막의 손실을 방지한다.First, as shown in FIG. 3A, after forming the base layer 32 on the semiconductor substrate 31, the BPSG film 33 is deposited and then flows. Subsequently, a nitride film 36 and a liquid phase dielectric (LPD) film 37 are deposited and planarized on the BPSG film 33. In this case, the nitride film 36 serves as an etch stop layer of the liquid insulator film, and prevents the loss of additional BPSG film due to overetching in a subsequent process.
이어서, 제 3B 도에서 콘택홀 형성을 위한 식각마스크로 사용될 감광막패턴(35)을 형성한다.Subsequently, a photosensitive film pattern 35 to be used as an etching mask for forming a contact hole is formed in FIG. 3B.
계속해서, 제 3C 도에서 상기 감광막패턴(35)을 식각마스크로 하부의 콘택영역의 상기 액상절연체막(37), 질화막(36), BPSG막(33) 및 하지층(32)을 식각하되, 하지층(32)이 일부두께 잔류하도록(B)한 다음, 플러그 이온주입 공정을 실시하여 잔류되는 하지층을 뚫고 반도체기판(31)에 이온이 주입되도록 한다. 이때의 이온주입으로 콘택 영역의 상기 BPSG막(33)과 하지층(32)의 식각률(etch rate)(후속 공정의 습식 식각률)이 증대된다.Subsequently, in FIG. 3C, the liquid insulator film 37, the nitride film 36, the BPSG film 33, and the underlayer 32 of the contact region under the photoresist film pattern 35 are etched. After the underlying layer 32 remains a part of thickness (B), a plug ion implantation process is performed to penetrate the remaining underlying layer and inject ions into the semiconductor substrate 31. The ion implantation at this time increases the etch rate (wet etch rate in a subsequent process) of the BPSG film 33 and the underlying layer 32 in the contact region.
끝으로, 제 3D도에 도시된 바와 같이 상기 플러그 이온주입 후 열처리 한 다음, 상기 질화막(36)을 식각정지층으로 블랭킷 식각하여 상기 액상절연체막(37), 잔류하는 하지층(32)을 제거한다.Finally, as shown in FIG. 3D, after the plug ion implantation and heat treatment, the nitride layer 36 is blanket-etched with an etch stop layer to remove the liquid insulator layer 37 and the underlying layer 32. do.
본 실시예들에서는 BPSG막을 사용하고 있으나 당업자에게 잘 알려진 바와 같이 BPSG막 대신에 BSP, PSG 등 기타 불순물을 포함하는 절연막을 사용할 수 있으며, 하지층은 TEOS막과 같은 절연층을 사용할 수 있다.In the present exemplary embodiment, a BPSG film is used, but as is well known to those skilled in the art, an insulating film containing other impurities such as BSP and PSG may be used instead of the BPSG film, and an insulating layer such as a TEOS film may be used as the underlying layer.
상기와 같이 이루어지는 본 발명은 고집적 소자에 적합한 미세 콘택홀을 형성할 수 있으며, 플러그 이온주입 및 열처리에 의한 기판의 결정결함을 방지함과 아울러 콘택홀 상부의 완만한 식각으로 스텝커버리지 특성이 향상되는 효과를 얻을 수 있다.The present invention made as described above can form a fine contact hole suitable for the highly integrated device, and prevents the defects of the crystallization of the substrate by plug ion implantation and heat treatment, and improves step coverage characteristics by gentle etching on the upper portion of the contact hole. The effect can be obtained.
