본 발명은 반도체 소자의 금속 배선 형성 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 금속 콘택 저항을 개선할 수 있는 반도체 소자의 금속 배선 형성 방법에 관한 것이다. BACKGROUND OF THE
일반적으로, 반도체 소자가 고집적화 되어감에 따라 콘택 저항을 개선시키는 방안이 연구되어지고 있다. 최근 널리 적용되고 있는 콘택 저항 개선방안으로 콘택홀 저면의 콘택 부위에 실리사이드층을 형성하는 방안이 있다. In general, as semiconductor devices are highly integrated, a method of improving contact resistance has been studied. As a method for improving contact resistance, which has been widely applied in recent years, there is a method of forming a silicide layer on a contact portion of a bottom surface of a contact hole.
종래 반도체 소자의 금속 배선 형성 방법은 실리콘 기판 상에 층간 절연막을 형성한 후 실리콘 기판이 노출되도록 콘택홀을 형성한다. 콘택홀이 형성된 전체 구조상에 Ti/TiN을 증착 시켜 배리어 메탈층(barrier metal layer)을 형성한 후, 콘택 저항을 개선시키기 위해 열처리 공정을 실시하여 콘택홀 저면에 실리사이드층을 형성하고, 이후 콘택홀을 금속층으로 매립하여 금속 배선을 형성하였다.In the conventional method of forming a metal wiring of a semiconductor device, a contact hole is formed to expose a silicon substrate after forming an interlayer insulating layer on the silicon substrate. After forming a barrier metal layer by depositing Ti / TiN on the entire structure in which the contact hole is formed, a heat treatment process is performed to improve contact resistance to form a silicide layer on the bottom of the contact hole, and then the contact hole. Was embedded in a metal layer to form a metal wiring.
상기에서, 실리사이드층은 650℃에서 급속 열처리 공정(RTP)으로 형성하며, 이때에 형성된 실리사이드층은 콘택 저항이 우수한 C-54 TiSi2 상이 형성되지 않고 C-49상이나 또는 비정질 Ti-Si 상으로 오믹 콘택이 형성되었다.In the above, the silicide layer is formed by a rapid heat treatment process (RTP) at 650 ℃, the silicide layer formed at this time ohmic to C-49 phase or amorphous Ti-Si phase without forming a C-54 TiSi 2 phase excellent in contact resistance The contact was made.
최근에는 Ti막을 화학적 기상증착(CVD)방법으로 형성하여 C-54 TiSi2 상을 형성하려는 시도가 진행중이나, 증착 온도가 높아서 트랜지스터의 전기적 특성에 영향을 미치거나 누설전류가 증가시키는 문제가 발생하였다. 또한, 화학적 기상증착방법으로 Ti막 형성시 장비에 대한 투자 비용이 발생하는 문제가 있다. Recently, attempts to form a C-54 TiSi 2 phase by forming a Ti film by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method are in progress, but the deposition temperature is high to affect the electrical characteristics of the transistor or increase the leakage current. . In addition, there is a problem that the investment cost for the equipment when the Ti film is formed by the chemical vapor deposition method.
따라서, 본 발명은 현재 일반적으로 사용중인 장비를 이용하여 콘택 저항이 우수한 C-54 TiSi2 막을 저온에서 형성하므로써 트랜지스터의 전기적 특성 저하 없 이 콘택 저항을 낮출 수 있어, 메모리 소자의 고집적화를 실현할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 소자의 수율 및 신뢰성을 향상시키면서 비용도 절감할 수 있는 반도체 소자의 금속 배선 형성 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.Therefore, the present invention can form a C-54 TiSi 2 film having excellent contact resistance at low temperature by using the equipment currently in use, thereby lowering the contact resistance without deteriorating the electrical characteristics of the transistor, thereby realizing high integration of the memory device. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for forming a metal wiring of a semiconductor device that can reduce costs while improving the yield and reliability of the device.
상기한 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명에 따른 반도체 소자의 금속 배선 형성 방법은 실리콘 기판 상에 층간절연막을 형성한 후 상기 실리콘 기판이 노출되도록 콘택홀을 형성하는 단계; 상기 콘택홀을 포함한 전체상부면에 Ta막 및 배리어 메탈층을 형성한 후, 저온급속 열공정을 실시하여 콘택홀 저면의 실리콘 기판에 실리사이드층을 형성하는 단계; 및 상기 콘택홀이 매립되도록 금속층을 증착하고 패터닝하여 금속 배선을 형성하는 단계를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of forming a metal wiring of a semiconductor device, the method comprising: forming a contact hole so that the silicon substrate is exposed after forming an interlayer insulating film on a silicon substrate; Forming a Ta film and a barrier metal layer on the entire upper surface including the contact hole, and then performing a low temperature rapid thermal process to form a silicide layer on a silicon substrate on the bottom of the contact hole; And depositing and patterning a metal layer to fill the contact hole to form a metal wiring.
이하, 첨부한 도면을 참조하여 본 발명을 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도 1a 내지 도 1c는 본 발명에 따른 반도체 소자의 금속 배선 형성 방법을 설명하기 위한 소자의 단면도이다.1A to 1C are cross-sectional views of devices for explaining a method for forming metal wirings of a semiconductor device according to the present invention.
도 1a를 참조하면, 실리콘 기판(1) 상에 층간 절연막(2)을 형성한 후 실리콘 기판(1)이 노출되도록 콘택홀(3)을 형성하고, 콘택홀(3)이 형성된 전체 상부면에 Ta막(4)을 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1A, after forming the
상기에서, Ta막(4)은 물리 기상증착(PVD) 방법으로 5 내지 50Å 두께가 되도록 형성한다.In the above, the Ta film 4 is formed to have a thickness of 5 to 50 kPa by the physical vapor deposition (PVD) method.
도 1b를 참조하면, Ta막(4)이 형성된 전체 상부면에 배리어 메탈층(5)을 형 성한 후, 저온급속 열공정을 실시하여 콘택홀(3) 저면의 실리콘 기판(1)에 실리사이드층인 C-54 TiSi2막(6)을 형성시킨다.Referring to FIG. 1B, after forming the
상기에서, 배리어 메탈층(5)은 Ti/TiN막, Ti막 및 TiN막 중 어느 하나로 이루어지며, Ti막 증착시 이온화 금속 플라즈마(IMP)방법을 이용하고, TiN막은 화학기상증착(CVD)방법으로 형성한다. C-54 TiSi2막(6)은 저온급속 열공정에 의해 C-54 TiSi2로 상전이 되어 형성되는데, 이때 저온급속 열공정 온도는 500 내지 700℃의 온도이며, 가장 적당한 온도는 550℃의 온도이다. 열공정 동안 실리콘 기판(1)의 Si가 확산되고, 확산된 Si가 Ta막(4)을 거쳐서 배리어 메탈층(5)의 Ti와 반응하므로 콘택홀(3)의 측벽에서는 반응하지 않고 Ta막(4) 및 배리어 메탈층(5)은 그대로 유지된다.In the above description, the
일반적으로, C-54상 TiSi2 상전이는 750℃에서 일어난다고 알려져 있으나, 본 발명에서는 이보다 낮은 온도인 500 내지 700℃의 온도에서 상전이 되도록 한다. Ta막(4)을 5~50Å 정도로 얇게 형성하면 C-54상으로 전이되는 것이 촉진되기 때문에 일반적인 상전이 온도보다 200℃ 이상 낮은 급속 열공정(RTP)에서 얻을 수 있다. Ta막(4)이 두껍게 형성되면 상전이 온도가 증가되므로 Ta막(4)을 50Å 이하의 두께로 얇게 형성하는 것이 필수적이다.Generally, the C-54 phase TiSi 2 phase transition is known to occur at 750 ° C., but in the present invention, the phase transition is performed at a temperature of 500 to 700 ° C., which is lower than this. When the Ta film 4 is thinly formed at a thickness of about 5 to 50 kPa, the transition to the C-54 phase is promoted, and therefore, it can be obtained in a rapid thermal process (RTP) lower than the normal phase transition temperature by 200 ° C or more. If the Ta film 4 is formed thick, the phase transition temperature is increased, so it is essential to form the Ta film 4 thin with a thickness of 50 kPa or less.
Ta막(4)을 얇게 형성하는 위하여 현재 64M 급 이상 소자에서 종횡비가 큰 금속 콘택이 스텝 커버리지(step coverage)가 열악해지는 것을 이용한다. 예를 들어 종횡비가 5 내지 10 인 금속 콘택은 스퍼터링(sputtering)에 의한 스텝 커버리지가 10% 이하이므로 5 내지 50Å 두께의 Ta막(3)을 형성하기 위하여 타겟 두께를 100Å 정도하면 콘택홀(3) 내부에서는 충분히 얇은 두께의 Ta막(4)을 얻을 수 있다.In order to form the Ta film 4 thinly, a metal contact having a large aspect ratio is used in the step coverage of the metal contact having a large aspect ratio of 64 M or more devices. For example, a metal contact having an aspect ratio of 5 to 10 has a step coverage of 10% or less due to sputtering, so that when the target thickness is about 100 µs to form a
도 1c는 C-54 TiSi2막(6)이 형성된 전체 상부면에 금속층 증착 및 패터닝 공정으로 금속 배선(7)을 형성한 상태의 단면도이다. FIG. 1C is a cross-sectional view of the
상기에서, 금속 배선(7)은 Al, Cu 및 W 중 어느 하나로 이루어 진다.In the above, the
상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명은 콘택홀 종횡비가 큰 고집적 메모리 소자에 적용하여 콘택 저항이 우수한 실리사이드층인 C-54 TiSi2층을 형성함으로써 금속 콘택 저항을 종래 보다 1/2 내지 1/3 수준으로 낮출 수 있고, 저온에서 급속 열공정을 실시할 수 있으므로 비용이 절감된다. 또한, 종래 사용하는 배리어막 기술을 그대로 사용하고, 추가 화학기상증착 장비를 도입하지 않아도 됨으로 비용이 절감되는 효과가 있다.As described above, the present invention is applied to a highly integrated memory device having a large contact hole aspect ratio, thereby forming a C-54 TiSi 2 layer, which is a silicide layer having excellent contact resistance, so that the metal contact resistance is 1/2 to 1/3 of the conventional level. The cost can be lowered and the rapid thermal process can be carried out at low temperature. In addition, the barrier film technology used in the prior art is used as it is, and additional chemical vapor deposition equipment does not need to be introduced, thereby reducing the cost.
