본 발명은 반도체소자의 미세패턴 형성방법에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 포토레지스트 패턴의 하부에 형성되는 산화막 패턴을 선택적으로 식각하여 산화막 패턴의 크기를 감소시킨 후에, 이를 식각 마스크로 사용하여 하부의 폴리실리콘막 을 식각함으로써, 폴리실리콘으로 형성되는 미세화된 게이트라인 패턴을 형성하는 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of forming a fine pattern of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, by selectively etching the oxide pattern formed on the lower portion of the photoresist pattern to reduce the size of the oxide layer pattern, and using it as an etching mask By etching the polysilicon film, a method for forming a fine gate line pattern formed of polysilicon.

반도체소자 제조공정에서 집적도가 증가하면서 최소 패턴의 크기가 점점 줄어들고 있다. 이때 줄어드는 정도가 현재 사용하고 있는 노광장비의 해상능력 한계를 넘어서고 있어, 보다 작은 미세패턴을 형성하기 위해서는 해상능력이 좋은 짧은 파장의 광원을 갖는 장비를 사용해야만 한다.As the degree of integration increases in the semiconductor device manufacturing process, the size of the minimum pattern is gradually decreasing. At this time, the degree of reduction exceeds the limit of the resolution capability of current exposure equipment, and in order to form a smaller fine pattern, a device having a short wavelength light source having a good resolution capability must be used.

예컨대, I-라인(365nm) 노광 장비의 해상능력 한계가 일반적으로 0.35㎛이기 때문에, 이보다 작은 패턴을 형성하기 위하여 KrF(248nm) 노광 장비를 사용해야 하고, KrF(248nm)의 해상능력 한계가 일반적으로 0.13㎛이기 때문에, 이보다 작은 패턴을 형성하기 위하여 ArF(193nm) 노광 장비를 사용해야 한다.For example, since the resolution limit of I-line (365 nm) exposure equipment is typically 0.35 μm, KrF (248 nm) exposure equipment should be used to form smaller patterns, and the resolution limit of KrF (248 nm) is generally Since it is 0.13 mu m, ArF (193 nm) exposure equipment must be used to form a smaller pattern.

또한, I-라인 포토리소그래피 공정과 비교하여 KrF 포토리소그래피 공정의 원가는 대략 5배 이상이고, KrF 포토리소그래피 공정과 비교하여 ArF 포토리소그래피 공정의 원가는 대략 10배 정도의 차이를 보인다. 이러한 원가의 증가는 현재 어쩔 수 없는 공정 능력상의 한계로 인식되고 있는 실정이다.In addition, the cost of the KrF photolithography process is about 5 times or more compared to the I-line photolithography process, and the cost of the ArF photolithography process is about 10 times that of the KrF photolithography process. Such an increase in cost is currently recognized as an inevitable process capacity limitation.

따라서, 해상능력 한계의 장비를 이용하여 보다 작은 패턴을 형성할 수 있다면 상당한 원가 절감의 효과를 볼 수 있어, 기존의 장비를 최대한 사용하여 해상능력 한계를 넓히려는 연구가 계속적으로 이루어지고 있다.Therefore, if a smaller pattern can be formed by using the equipment of the limit of the resolution, significant cost savings can be obtained, and studies to expand the limit of the resolution by using the existing equipment are continuously conducted.

본 발명의 목적은 ArF 노광장비를 이용하는 것이 아니라 KrF 노광장비를 이용하여 0.13㎛ 이하의 미세 패턴을 형성하는 방법을 제공하는 것이다.An object of the present invention is to provide a method of forming a fine pattern of 0.13㎛ or less by using the KrF exposure equipment, rather than using the ArF exposure equipment.

도 1a를 참조하면, 반도체기판(10) 상부에 폴리실리콘막(12), 산화막(14) 및 질화막(16)을 순차적으로 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1A, the polysilicon film 12, the oxide film 14, and the nitride film 16 are sequentially formed on the semiconductor substrate 10.

이때 폴리실리콘막(12)은 2000 내지 2500Å의 두께로 증착되는 것이 바람직하고, 산화막(14)은 2000 내지 3000Å의 두께로 증착되는 것이 바람직하며, 질화막 (16)은 300 내지 500Å의 두께로 증착되는 것이 바람직하다.In this case, the polysilicon film 12 is preferably deposited to a thickness of 2000 to 2500 kPa, the oxide film 14 is preferably deposited to a thickness of 2000 to 3000 kPa, and the nitride film 16 is deposited to a thickness of 300 to 500 kPa. It is preferable.

또한, 산화막(14)은 BPSG(boron phosphorous silicate glass) 산화막, PSG (phosphorous silicate glass) 산화막, TEOS(tetraethyl ortho silicate) 산화막, PE-TEOS(plasma enhanced-tetraethyl ortho silicate) 산화막, O3-TEOS(O3-tetraethyl ortho silicate) 산화막, HDP(high density plasma) 산화막, APL (advanced planarization layer) 산화막 또는 USG(undoped silicate glass) 산화막인 것이 바람직하다.In addition, the oxide film 14 may include a boron phosphorous silicate glass (BPSG) oxide, a phosphorous silicate glass (PSG) oxide film, a tetraethyl ortho silicate (TEOS) oxide film, a plasma enhanced-tetraethyl ortho silicate (PE-TEOS) oxide film, and O 3 -TEOS ( O 3 -tetraethyl ortho silicate oxide, HDP (high density plasma) oxide, APL (advanced planarization layer) oxide or USG (undoped silicate glass) oxide film is preferred.

도 1b를 참조하면, 질화막(16) 상부에 1000 내지 3000Å 두께의 포토레지스트막(18)을 증착한 다음, KrF(248nm)를 노광원으로 하고 노광 마스크(20)를 사용하여 포토레지스트막(18)을 선택적으로 노광함으로써, 노광영역(미도시)을 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1B, a photoresist film 18 having a thickness of 1000 to 3000 Å is deposited on the nitride film 16, and then KrF (248 nm) is an exposure source, and the photoresist film 18 is formed using an exposure mask 20. ) Is selectively exposed to form an exposure area (not shown).

이때, 포토레지스트막(18)의 하부에 질화막(16) 및 산화막(14)이 형성되기 때문에 기존의 포토레지스트막(18)만을 형성하여 패턴을 형성시킬 때보다 포토레지스트막(18)의 두께를 작게 할 수 있다.In this case, since the nitride film 16 and the oxide film 14 are formed below the photoresist film 18, the thickness of the photoresist film 18 is reduced compared to when only the existing photoresist film 18 is formed to form a pattern. It can be made small.

도 1c를 참조하면, 상기 결과물을 현상하여 상기 노광영역을 제거함으로써 포토레지스트 패턴(22)을 형성한다. 여기서는 포지티브 포토레지스트를 사용하여 패턴을 형성한 경우에 해당하는 것으로, 빛에 의해 노광된 노광영역이 현상공정에 의해 제거되기 때문에 포지티브 타입의 패턴이 형성된 것을 도시한다.Referring to FIG. 1C, a photoresist pattern 22 is formed by developing the resultant to remove the exposure area. Here, the pattern is formed by using a positive photoresist, and shows that a positive type pattern is formed because the exposed area exposed by light is removed by a developing process.

이때 포토레지스트 패턴(22)은 해상능력 한계가 0.13㎛인 KrF(248nm)를 노광원으로 사용하여 형성하였기 때문에, 0.13㎛ 이상의 크기를 갖는다.At this time, since the photoresist pattern 22 was formed using KrF (248 nm) having a resolution limit of 0.13 mu m as an exposure source, the photoresist pattern 22 has a size of 0.13 mu m or more.

도 1d를 참조하면, 포토레지스트 패턴(22)을 식각 마스크로 사용하여 하부의 질화막(16) 및 산화막(14)을 식각하여 질화막 패턴(24) 및 산화막 패턴(26)을 형성한 다음, 식각 마스크로 사용된 포토레지스트 패턴(22)을 통상의 방법으로 제거한다.Referring to FIG. 1D, the nitride layer 16 and the oxide layer 14 are etched using the photoresist pattern 22 as an etching mask to form the nitride layer pattern 24 and the oxide layer pattern 26, and then the etching mask. The photoresist pattern 22 used as is removed by a conventional method.

도 1e를 참조하면, 상기 결과물의 최상부에 위치하는 질화막 패턴(24)은 그대로 두고 산화막 패턴(26)만을 선택적으로 식각하여 패턴 크기가 0.13㎛ 이하로 감소된 산화막 패턴(26)을 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1E, only the oxide layer pattern 26 is selectively etched while leaving the nitride layer pattern 24 positioned on the top of the resultant product to form an oxide layer pattern 26 having a pattern size reduced to 0.13 μm or less.

이때 불산(HF)을 포함하는 용액을 사용하여 습식각 공정을 수행하거나, 삼불화메탄(CHF3) 가스, 사불화메탄(CF4) 가스 또는 이들의 혼합 가스를 사용하여 건식각 공정을 수행함으로써, 산화막 패턴(26) 상부의 질화막 패턴(24)은 식각되지 않고 산화막 패턴(26)만이 선택적으로 식각된다.At this time, by performing a wet etching process using a solution containing hydrofluoric acid (HF), or by performing a dry etching process using a methane trifluoride (CHF 3 ) gas, methane tetrafluoride (CF 4 ) gas or a mixture thereof The nitride layer pattern 24 on the oxide layer pattern 26 is not etched, and only the oxide layer pattern 26 is selectively etched.

도 1f를 참조하면, 상기 결과물로부터 질화막 패턴(24)을 인산을 이용한 습식각으로 제거하여 0.13㎛ 이하의 크기를 갖는 산화막 패턴(26)이 최상부에 노출되도록 한다.Referring to FIG. 1F, the nitride film pattern 24 is removed from the result by wet etching using phosphoric acid so that the oxide film pattern 26 having a size of 0.13 μm or less is exposed at the top.

도 1g를 참조하면, 0.13㎛ 이하의 크기를 갖는 산화막 패턴(26)을 식각 마스크로 사용하여 하부의 폴리실리콘막(12)을 식각하여 0.13㎛ 이하의 크기를 갖는 게이트라인 패턴(28)을 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1G, the lower polysilicon layer 12 is etched using an oxide layer pattern 26 having a size of 0.13 μm or less as an etching mask to form a gate line pattern 28 having a size of 0.13 μm or less. do.

도 1h를 참조하면, 상기 결과물의 전체표면 상부에 산화막(30)을 증착한다.Referring to FIG. 1H, an oxide film 30 is deposited on the entire surface of the resultant product.

이때, 게이트라인 패턴(28) 형성한 다음, 식각 마스크로 사용된 산화막 패턴 (26)을 제거한 후에 산화막(30)을 증착할 수도 있고, 산화막 패턴(26)을 그대로 남긴 후에 산화막(30)을 증착할 수도 있다.In this case, after the gate line pattern 28 is formed, the oxide layer 30 may be deposited after removing the oxide layer pattern 26 used as an etching mask, or the oxide layer 30 may be deposited after the oxide layer pattern 26 is left as it is. You may.
