이때, 상기 금속배선은 상기 트랜지스터와 캐패시터에 각각 접속되어 구비된다.In this case, the metal wirings are connected to the transistors and the capacitors, respectively.
그러나, 상기 캐패시터의 형성공정후 그 상부에 형성된 층간절연막을 형성하고 상기 층간절연막을 콘택식각하여 상기 캐패시터를 노출시키는 콘택홀을 형성한 다음, 이를 통하여 상기 캐패시터에 접속되는 금속배선을 형성한다.However, after the capacitor forming process, an interlayer insulating layer formed on the capacitor is formed and a contact hole for exposing the capacitor is formed by contact etching the interlayer insulating layer to form a metal wiring connected to the capacitor.
도시되진 않았으나, 종래기술에 따른 반도체소자의 층간절연막을 설명하면 다음과 같다.Although not shown, an interlayer insulating film of a semiconductor device according to the prior art will be described.
먼저, 반도체기판 상에 하부절연층을 형성한다.First, a lower insulating layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate.
이때, 상기 하부절연층은 소자분리막, 워드라인 및 비트라인을 형성하고 그 상부를 평탄화시켜 형성한 것이다.In this case, the lower insulating layer is formed by forming an isolation layer, a word line, and a bit line, and planarizing an upper portion thereof.
여기서, 상기 하부절연층은 BPSG ( boro phospho silicate glass ) 와 같이 유동성이 우수한 절연물질로 형성한다.Here, the lower insulating layer is formed of an insulating material having excellent fluidity such as boro phospho silicate glass (BPSG).
그 다음, 상기 반도체기판의 예정된 부분을 노출시키는 저장전극 콘택홀을 형성한다.A storage electrode contact hole is then formed to expose a predetermined portion of the semiconductor substrate.
이때, 상기 저장전극 콘택홀은 저장전극 콘택마스크를 이용한 사진식각공정으로 상기 하부절연층을 식각하여 상기 반도체기판을 노출시켜 형성한 것이다.In this case, the storage electrode contact hole is formed by etching the lower insulating layer by a photolithography process using a storage electrode contact mask to expose the semiconductor substrate.

이를 제거하기 위하여 HF 나 BOE 용액을 이용하여 습식 세정공정을 실시한다.To remove this, the wet cleaning process is performed using HF or BOE solution.
이때, 상기 층간절연막이 심하게 어택 ( attack ) 되어 리프팅되거나 상기 금속배선 콘택홀이 손상되고 그에 따른 후속공정을 어렵게 하는 문제점이 있다.At this time, there is a problem that the interlayer insulating film is severely attacked and is lifted, or the metal wiring contact hole is damaged, thereby making the subsequent process difficult.
본 발명은 상기한 바와같이 종래기술에 따른 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 캐패시터 형성후 형성되는 층간절연막을 질화막으로 형성하여 금속배선 콘택 공정시 공정 특성을 열화시키는 문제점을 제거함으로써 예정된 후속공정을 실시할 수 있도록 하여 반도체소자의 수율 및 생산성을 향상시키고 그에 따른 반도체소자의 특성 및 신뢰성을 향상시키는 반도체소자의 금속배선 형성방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.In order to solve the problems according to the prior art as described above, the present invention can perform a predetermined subsequent process by forming an interlayer insulating film formed after the formation of a capacitor as a nitride film to eliminate the problem of deteriorating the process characteristics during the metallization contact process.
