Description
본 발명은 반도체 메모리 소자의 콘택 홀 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of forming a contact hole in a semiconductor memory device.
일반적으로 플래쉬 메모리 셀은 다음과 같은 공정으로 형성된다. 즉, 셀 영역과 주변 영역에 게이트를 형성한 후, 게이트 양측벽에 스페이서를 형성한다. 이후, N+ 이온 주입 공정을 통해 NMOS 트랜지스터 영역에 N+접합 영역을 형성하고 P+ 이온 주입 공정을 통해 PMOS 트랜지스터 영역에 P+ 접합 영역을 형성한다. 다음에, 폴리간 산화막을 형성하고, BPSG막을 형성한 후 평탄화한다. 이후, 콘택 홀 형성용 마스크를 이용한 식각 공정으로 콘택을 형성한다.Generally, flash memory cells are formed by the following process. That is, after the gate is formed in the cell region and the peripheral region, spacers are formed on both side walls of the gate. Since, N + by an ion implantation process to form a N + junction region in the NMOS transistor region and to form a P + junction region in the PMOS transistor region over the P + ion implantation step. Next, an interpoly oxide film is formed, and a BPSG film is formed and then planarized. Thereafter, the contact is formed by an etching process using a contact hole forming mask.
이 콘택 홀 형성 공정은 단일 장비에서 진행되며, 400mT의 압력, 1300W의 전력에서 40CHF3, 70CF4, 600Ar을 이용하여 33초 동안 진행된다.The contact hole formation process is performed in a single device and is performed for 33 seconds using 40CHF 3 , 70CF 4 and 600Ar at a pressure of 400mT and a power of 1300W.
이러한 콘택 홀 형성 공정시 셀 영역에 비해 주변 영역의 BPSG막의 단차가 낮아지게 되며, 이 부분의 기판이 손실되어 누설 전류 발생의 원인이 된다. 이 누설 전류는 스탠바이 전류를 증가시키며, 이에 의해 소자의 특성 및 수율이 저하하는 문제점이 있다.In the contact hole forming process, the step difference of the BPSG film in the peripheral area is lower than that in the cell area, and the substrate of this part is lost, which causes leakage current. This leakage current increases the standby current, thereby degrading the characteristics and yield of the device.
따라서, 본 발명은 종래의 1단계 식각 레시피로 콘택을 형성한 후, 장비를 변경하여 새로운 레시피로 2단계 식각을 실시하여 콘택을 형성하므로써, 기판 손실로 인한 누설 전류를 감소시킬 수 있고 소자의 수율을 향상시킬 수 있는 반도체 메모리 소자의 콘택 홀 형성 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.Therefore, in the present invention, after forming a contact with a conventional one-step etch recipe, by changing the equipment to form a contact by performing a two-step etch with a new recipe, the leakage current due to substrate loss can be reduced and the yield of the device can be reduced.
