본 발명은 반도체장치의 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 전극들 사이에 내재되는 유전체 막질로서 질화막(nitride)과 실리콘막(silicon)의 복합층을 사용하여 고용량을 달성하는 반도체장치의 커패시터 제조방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method of manufacturing a capacitor of a semiconductor device which achieves high capacity by using a composite layer of a nitride film and a silicon film as a dielectric film inherent between electrodes. will be.
현재 반도체장치의 고집적화를 달성하기 위하여 셀 면적의 감소 및 동작 전압의 저전압화에 관한 연구/개발이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 더구나, 반도체장치의 고집적화가 이루어질수록 커패시터의 면적이 급격하게 감소되지만 기억소자의 동작에 필요한 전하 즉, 단위 면적에 확보되는 정전용량는 증가되어야만 한다. At present, in order to achieve high integration of semiconductor devices, research / development has been actively conducted on reduction of cell area and reduction of operating voltage. In addition, as the integration of semiconductor devices becomes higher, the area of the capacitor is drastically reduced, but the charge necessary for the operation of the memory device, that is, the capacitance secured in the unit area must be increased.
커패시터의 충분한 유전 용량을 확보하기 위해서는 유전막의 박막화, 유효 표면적의 증대 등의 구조적인 연구가 진행되고 있다. 또, 약 3-4 정도의 유전상수(ε)를 갖는 실리콘 산화막(SiO2) 대신에 고유전 물질로서 NO(Nitride-Oxide) 구조 또는 ONO(Oxide-Nitride-Oxide)구조라든지 Ta2O5 또는 BST(BaSrTiO3) 등으로 대체하려는 재료적인 연구도 진행되고 있다. 이러한 고유전체 막질은 커패시터 뿐만이 아니라 플래시 메모리내 게이트전극의 절연막에도 적용이 가능하다.In order to secure a sufficient dielectric capacity of a capacitor, structural studies such as thinning of a dielectric film and increasing an effective surface area have been conducted. In addition, instead of the silicon oxide film (SiO 2 ) having a dielectric constant (ε) of about 3-4, a high dielectric material NO (Nitride-Oxide) structure or ONO (Oxide-Nitride-Oxide) structure or Ta 2 O 5 or Material studies are also underway to replace BST (BaSrTiO 3 ). The high dielectric film quality can be applied not only to the capacitor but also to the insulating film of the gate electrode in the flash memory.
그 중에서도 N/O 구조의 유전체막은 제조 공정이 간단하면서도 고유전율을 확보할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있어 전극간 절연체로 자주 사용되고 있다. 즉, N/O 구조의 유전체막을 사용하는 반도체소자(예컨대, 커패시터 또는 플래시 게이트전 극)에서는 하부전극에 질화막(SiN)을 증착하고 그 위에 산화막(SiO2)을 적층해서 복합 N/O 구조의 유전체막을 형성함으로써 원하는 반도체소자의 용량을 얻고 있다.Among them, N / O-structured dielectric films are frequently used as inter-electrode insulators because of their simple manufacturing process and high dielectric constant. That is, in a semiconductor device (eg, a capacitor or a flash gate electrode) that uses a dielectric film having an N / O structure, a nitride film (SiN) is deposited on a lower electrode, and an oxide film (SiO 2 ) is stacked thereon to form a composite N / O structure. By forming the dielectric film, the desired capacitance of the semiconductor device is obtained.
그러나, 소자의 속도를 증가시키기 위하여 금속 배선(예컨대, 워드라인 및 비트라인)을 갖는 반도체장치의 경우 N/O 구조의 유전체막 중에서 750℃ 이상의 고온의 산화 공정을 진행하면 높은 써멀 버젯(thermal budget)에 의해 배선의 전기적 특성이 저하되고 동시에 질화막의 산화정도가 증가되어 저유전체막을 형성함으로써 소자의 신뢰성 및 수율을 낮추는 문제가 있었다.However, in order to increase the speed of the device, a semiconductor device having metal wirings (eg, word lines and bit lines) has a high thermal budget when a high temperature oxidation process of 750 ° C. or higher is performed in a dielectric film having an N / O structure. By lowering the electrical characteristics of the wiring and at the same time the oxidation degree of the nitride film is increased to form a low dielectric film has a problem of lowering the reliability and yield of the device.
본 발명의 목적은 상기와 같은 종래 기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 NO 구조의 유전체막에서 산화막 제조 공정시 질화막 표면을 400℃∼700℃의 온도에서 N2O 또는 NH3 가스 분위기에서 플라즈마로 열처리하여 산화막을 형성함으로써 고온의 산화 공정으로 인한 써멀 버젯을 줄여 소자의 전기적 특성을 향상시키면서 고유전체막을 얻을 수 있는 반도체장치의 커패시터 제조방법을 제공하는데 있다.
An object of the present invention is to heat-treat the surface of the nitride film in a N 2 O or NH 3 gas atmosphere at a temperature of 400 ℃ to 700 ℃ in the oxide film manufacturing process in the NO structure dielectric film in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a capacitor of a semiconductor device capable of obtaining a high dielectric film while improving the electrical characteristics of a device by reducing the thermal budget caused by a high temperature oxidation process by forming an oxide film.

본 발명의 제조 방법에 있어서, 상기 유전체박막의 산화막 형성은 플라즈마 질화 공정시 전원을 10W∼1000W으로 하고 N2O 또는 NH3 가스를 10∼1000sccm 플로우하는 것이 바람직하다. 이때 산화막의 두께는 하부 질화막에서 1Å∼20Å정도를 산화시켜 형성하는 것이 바람직하다.In the production method of the present invention, in the formation of the oxide film of the dielectric thin film, it is preferable that the power is 10 W to 1000 W and the N 2 O or NH 3 gas is flowed 10 to 1000 sccm during the plasma nitridation process. At this time, the thickness of the oxide film is preferably formed by oxidizing about 1 GPa-20 GPa in the lower nitride film.
본 발명에 따르면, N/O 구조의 유전체박막에서 산화막 제조 공정시 저온에서 플라즈마 열공정으로 질화막의 상부를 산화시킴으로써 고온 열산화 공정으로 인한 소자의 전기적 특성 저하를 방지할 수 있다.According to the present invention, by oxidizing the upper portion of the nitride film by the plasma thermal process at a low temperature during the oxide film manufacturing process in the dielectric thin film of the N / O structure it is possible to prevent the electrical characteristics of the device due to the high temperature thermal oxidation process.
