Description
본 발명은 다층 금속배선을 갖는 반도체 소자 제조 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 금속배선의 언더컷을 통해 수분이 침투되는 것을 방지하기 위한 금속배선 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a multi-layered metal wiring, and more particularly, to a metal wiring forming method for preventing moisture from penetrating through the undercut of the metal wiring.
잘 알려진 바와 같이, 소자가 고집적화되어 감에 따라 금속배선은 다층화되어가고 있으며, 금속층간의 평탄화를 위해 금속층간 절연막으로써 SOG(spin on glass)를 사용하고 있다. 종래의 다층 금속배선 공정과 그 문제점을 도 1a 및 도 1b를 참조하여 살펴본다. 먼저, 도 1a는 소정 공정이 완료된 웨이퍼(11) 상에 예컨대 Ti/TiN과 같은 장벽 금속막(barrier metal)(12), 예컨대 텅스텐 또는 알루미늄과 같은 배선용 금속막(13), 및 예컨대 TiN과 같은 비반사층(14)을 차례로 형성한 다음, 마스크 및 식각 공정에 의해 적층된 층을 차례로 식각함으로써 하부 금속배선을 완료한 상태이다. 그런데, 도면의 점선 "A"의 내부에 도시된 바와 같이, 배선용 금속막(13)의 에지 하부에 언더컷 현상이 발생되게 된다. 즉, 식각 공정에서 금속 잔류물에 의한 금속 브리지를 방지하기 위하여 과도식각(Over Etch)을 실시하게 되는데, 이 과도식각에 의해 배선용 금속막(13)의 하부에 배치된 장벽 금속막(12)이 과도식각되어 언더컷이 발생되게 되는 것이다. 금속 브리지는 금속배선의 페일(Fail)을 가져오는 큰 원인이 되므로 현 상태에서는 과도 식각을 하지 않을 수 없는 실정이다. 한편, 도 1b는 도 1a의 전체구조 상부에 금속층간산화막(IMO-1)(15)을 형성한 상태로서, 이 금속층간산화막(15)은 통상 1000Å 정도로 얇게 형성하고 있으며, 이 얇은 산화막은 스텝커버리지가 나쁘기 때문에 언더컷 부위(도 1a의 "A")를 충분히 덮지 못한다. As is well known, as the device is highly integrated, metal wiring is becoming multilayered, and spin on glass (SOG) is used as an intermetallic insulating film for planarization between metal layers. The conventional multilayer metallization process and its problems will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B. First, FIG. 1A shows a
따라서, 후속 공정으로 금속층간산화막(15) 상에 SOG막을 형성할 때, 언더컷으로 인해 스텝커버리지가 불량해진 부분(도 1b의 "B")으로 SOG막으로부터의 수분이 침투하여 하부층으로 확산되므로써, 소자 특성을 테스트하는 PCT(pressure cooker test)에서 페일(fail)이 발생하게 된다.Therefore, when the SOG film is formed on the
본 발명은 상기 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로써, 금속배선의 언더컷에 의해 발생되는 수분 확산을 방지하여 소자 특성을 향상시키는 반도체 소자의 금속배선 형성 방법을 제공함을 그 목적으로 한다.An object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a metal wiring of a semiconductor device to improve the device characteristics by preventing the diffusion of moisture caused by the undercut of the metal wiring to solve the above problems.
상기 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 금속배선 형성 방법은, 과도식각에 의해 그 에지 하부에 언더컷을 갖는 금속배선을 패터닝하는 단계; 및 상기 언더컷을 덮도록 상기 패터닝된 금속배선의 측벽에 스페이서를 형성하는 단계를 포함하여 이루어진다. 상기 스페이서는 예컨대 질화막과 같이 언더컷의 갭필링 및 수분 확산을 방지하는 물질로 이루어진다.The metallization method of the present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of: patterning a metallization having an undercut under the edge by the transient etching; And forming spacers on sidewalls of the patterned metallization to cover the undercut. The spacer is made of a material that prevents gap peeling and moisture diffusion of the undercut, such as a nitride film.
도 2a 내지 도 2c는 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 다층 금속배선 공정도로서, 이를 통해 본 발명의 일실시예를 상세히 설명한다.2A to 2C are multi-layered metallization process diagrams according to an embodiment of the present invention, and one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
도 2a와 같이, 소정 공정이 완료된 웨이퍼(21) 상에 장벽금속인 Ti/TiN막(22), 배선용 금속막인 텅스텐 또는 알루미늄막(23) 및 비반사층인 TiN(24)을 차례로 적층하고, 마스크 및 식각 공정에 의해 적층된 층을 차례로 식각함으로써 하부 금속배선을 완료한 다음, 언더컷 부위를 덮기 위하여 질화막(25)을 100Å 내지 200Å 정도로 얇게 형성한다. 앞서 설명하였듯이, 하부 금속배선의 패터닝을 위한 식각시 금속 브리지 방지를 위해 과도식각을 실시하므로 금속배선의 에지 하부에는 언더컷이 발생되게 된다. 이어서, 도 2b와 같이, 상기 질화막(25)을 전면식각하여 하부 금속배선의 측벽에 질화막 스페이서(25a)를 형성하고, 도 2c에 도시된 바와 같이 도 2b의 전면에 금속층간산화막(IMO-1)(26)을 형성한다. 이후 SOG막을 형성하는 등 통상의 공정을 계속한다.2A, a Ti / TiN
통상적으로 질화막은 그 특성상 갭필링 능력이 매우 우수하여, 얇은 두께로 증착되는 질화막으로도 배선용 금속막의 언더컷을 충분히 채울 수 있으며, 질화막 스페이서에 의해 금속층간산화막의 스텝커버리지를 개선한다. 동시에, 언더컷 부위의 질화막은 SOG로부터 금속배선의 하부층으로 확산되는 수분을 효과적으로 막아준다.In general, the nitride film has a very good gap peeling capability, so that the undercut of the metal film for wiring can be sufficiently filled with a nitride film deposited with a thin thickness, and the step coverage of the interlayer oxide film is improved by the nitride film spacer. At the same time, the nitride film of the undercut portion effectively prevents moisture from diffusing into the lower layer of the metallization.
이상에서, 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명은 언더컷의 갭필링 및 수분 침투 방지를 위한 질화막 스페이서를 사용하는 것에 그 특징이 있는 것으로, 질화막 대신에 다른 물질을 사용할 수 있는데, 전도층이든 절연층이든 언더컷을 채우면서 공정조건 및 특성 등 기타 제반 조건을 만족하는 물질이면 될 것이다.As described above, the present invention is characterized by using a nitride film spacer for preventing gap penetration and moisture penetration of the undercut, and other materials may be used instead of the nitride film. In addition, the material may satisfy other conditions such as process conditions and characteristics.
본 발명은 전술한 실시예 및 첨부된 도면에 의해 한정되는 것이 아니고, 본 발명이 기술적 사상을 벗어나지 않는 범위내에서 여러 가지 치환, 변형 및 변경이 가능하다.The present invention is not limited by the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
본 발명은 금속배선의 언더컷에 의해 발생되는 수분 확산을 방지하여 PCT(pressure cooker test)에서의 소자 페일(Fail)을 방지하는 효과가 있다.The present invention has the effect of preventing the device failure in the pressure cooker test (PCT) by preventing the diffusion of moisture caused by the undercut of the metal wiring.
