Description
본 발명은 반도체 소자의 다중 금속층 형성 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 금속층간 절연막의 절연 및 평탄도를 향상시킬 수 있도록 한 반도체 소자의 다중 금속층 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for forming a multi-metal layer of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for forming a multi-metal layer of a semiconductor device to improve the insulation and flatness of the inter-metal insulating film.
일반적으로 반도체 소자의 제조 공정에서 금속층은 이중 또는 다중 구조로 형성되며, 금속층간에는 절연 및 평탄화를 위하여 금속층간 절연막을 형성한다. 그런데 반도체 소자가 고집적화됨에 따라 금속배선의 폭이 미세화되고 금속배선간의 거리가 감소되기 때문에 금속배선과 금속배선 그리고 금속층간의 절연은 더욱 중요해진다. 그러면 종래 반도체 소자의 다중 금속층 형성 방법을 제 1A 및 제 1B 도를 통해 설명하면 다음과 같다.In general, in the process of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the metal layer is formed in a double or multiple structure, and an intermetallic insulating film is formed between the metal layers for insulation and planarization. However, as semiconductor devices are highly integrated, insulation between metal interconnections, metal interconnections, and metal layers becomes more important because the width of metal interconnections becomes smaller and the distance between metal interconnections decreases. A method of forming a multi-metal layer of a conventional semiconductor device will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B.
제 1A 및 제 1B 도는 종래 반도체 소자의 다중 금속층 형성 방법을 설명하기 위한 소자의 단면도로서,1A and 1B are cross-sectional views of a device for explaining a method of forming a multi-metal layer of a conventional semiconductor device.
제 1A 도는 절연층(2)이 형성된 실리콘 기판(1)상에 하부 금속층을 5000 내지 10,000 Å 두께로 형성한 후 상기 하부 금속층을 패터닝하여 하부 금속배선(3)을 형성하고, 전체 상부면에 제 1 금속층간 절연막(4), SOG(Spin-On-Glass)막(5) 및 제 2 금속층간 절연막(6)을 순차적으로 형성한 상태의 단면도이다. 그런데 상기 하부 금속배선(3)의 단차로 인하여 표면의 평탄도가 저하되며, 상기 하부 금속배선(3)간의 거리가 매우 미세하기 때문에 상기 SOG막(5)의 매립 상태가 불량하여 상기 하부 금속배선(3)간의 공간에 보이드(7)가 발생된다.The lower metal layer is formed on the silicon substrate 1 having the insulating layer 2 formed thereon in a thickness of 5000 to 10,000 Å, and then the lower metal layer is patterned to form the lower metal wiring 3, 1 is a cross-sectional view of a state in which a first interlayer insulating film 4, a spin-on-glass film 5, and a second interlayer insulating film 6 are sequentially formed. However, the flatness of the surface is lowered due to the step difference of the lower metal wiring 3, and the distance between the lower metal wiring 3 is very small, so that the embedded state of the SOG film 5 is poor and the lower metal wiring is poor. The void 7 is generated in the space between (3).

Is a cross-sectional view of a state in which the upper metal layer 9 is formed by depositing metal on the entire upper surface so that the contact hole is buried, and water discharged from the SOG film 5 when the upper metal layer 9 is formed ( H 2 O) causes a defect 8 due to a bubble effect between the SOG film 5 and the second intermetallic insulating film 6, and in the contact hole, the SOG film 5. The bowing phenomenon occurs in which the exposed part of the body is lost. In addition, the defects 8 and the bowing phenomenon lower the insulation between the lower metal interconnection 3 and the insulation between the lower metal interconnection 3 and the upper metal layer 9, thereby acting as a cause of deterioration of the electrical characteristics of the device. do.
