반도체 소자의 게이트 산화막 형성 방법{Method for forming the gate oxide of semiconductor device} Method for forming the gate oxide of semiconductor device             

도1은 종래의 반도체 소자에서 게이트 산화막을 형성하는 방법을 나타내는 단면도이다.1 is a cross-sectional view showing a method of forming a gate oxide film in a conventional semiconductor device.

도 2a 및 도 2b는 본 발명에 따른 게이트 산화막을 형성하는 방법을 나타내는 공정 단면도이다.2A and 2B are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of forming a gate oxide film according to the present invention.

본 발명은 반도체 소자의 게이트 산화막 형성 방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 자세하게는 인시튜(insitu) 수소 열처리를 실시하여 게이트 산화막을 형성하는 반도체 소자의 게이트 산화막 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for forming a gate oxide film of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for forming a gate oxide film of a semiconductor device in which an insitu hydrogen heat treatment is performed to form a gate oxide film.

게이트 산화막은 반도체 소자에서 주전류를 제어하기 위한 신호가 입력되는 게이트 전극과 반도체 기판과의 절연을 위해 형성되는 산화막으로, 상기 게이트 산화막 위해 게이트 전극을 형성하게 된다. 그리고 게이트 전극의 형성은 폴리 실리 콘막을 증착시키고 전기전도성을 띠도록 하기 위해 보론(Boron) 이온을 주입시켜 게이트 전극을 형성하게 된다.The gate oxide layer is an oxide layer formed to insulate the semiconductor substrate from a gate electrode to which a signal for controlling main current is input in the semiconductor device, and forms a gate electrode for the gate oxide layer. In addition, in order to form the gate electrode, boron ions are implanted to form the gate electrode in order to deposit a polysilicon layer and have electrical conductivity.

그런데 보론은 원자반경이 작기 때문에 게이트 전극 물질로 사용되는 폴리 실리콘막을 쉽게 투과하고 일부는 게이트 산화막까지 투과하는 성질이 있다. 이로 인한 게이트 산화막의 특성 열화에 대한 해결이 중요한 문제로 등장하고 있다.However, since boron has a small atomic radius, the boron easily penetrates the polysilicon film used as the gate electrode material, and some of the boron penetrates the gate oxide film. As a result, a solution to the deterioration of the gate oxide film has emerged as an important problem.

도1은 종래의 반도체 소자에서 게이트 산화막을 형성하는 방법을 나타내는 단면도이다. 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 실리콘 기판(10) 위에 질소를 이온주입하여 질화막(20)을 적층시킨후 건식산화하여 게이트 산화막(30)을 형성함으로서 질화막(20)을 실리콘 기판(10)과 게이트 산화막(30) 사이에 적층시킨 후, 폴리 실리콘막(40)을 증착한 다음 도핑원소인 보론을 침투시킨 상태를 나타낸다. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a method of forming a gate oxide film in a conventional semiconductor device. As shown in FIG. 1, nitrogen is ion-implanted on the silicon substrate 10 to deposit the nitride film 20, and then dry oxidation to form the gate oxide film 30 to form the nitride film 20 with the silicon substrate 10 and the gate. After laminating between the oxide films 30, the polysilicon film 40 is deposited, and boron, which is a doping element, is infiltrated.

상기와 같은 방법에 의해 게이트 전극을 형성하면 폴리 실리콘막(40)에 주입되는 보론 이온이 실리콘 기판(10)에 침투되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 그러나 게이트 산화막(30)내로 침투된 보론 원자들에 의한 결함작용 때문에 게이트 산화막(30)의 파손을 야기하여 게이트 산화막(30)의 신뢰성을 저하시킨다는 문제점이 있다. If the gate electrode is formed by the above method, it is possible to prevent the boron ions injected into the polysilicon film 40 from penetrating into the silicon substrate 10. However, due to defects caused by boron atoms penetrating into the gate oxide film 30, the gate oxide film 30 may be damaged, thereby reducing the reliability of the gate oxide film 30.

또한 실리콘 기판(10) 표면에 질화막(20)이 존재하면 건식산화 공정에서 게이트 산화막(30)이 잘 형성되지 않을 뿐만아니라 게이트 산화막(30) 표면에 끊어진 댕글링본드(dangling bond)가 많아 표면이 거칠게 형성되어 전류가 흐를 때 전하가 거친부분으로 집중되어 게이트 산화막(30)의 파손되고 문턱전압의 특성과 소자의 신뢰성을 저하하는 문제점이 있었다.In addition, when the nitride film 20 is present on the surface of the silicon substrate 10, the gate oxide film 30 may not be well formed in the dry oxidation process, and the dangling bonds are broken on the surface of the gate oxide film 30. When the current flows roughly, the charge is concentrated to the rough portion, which causes the gate oxide layer 30 to be damaged, thereby reducing the characteristics of the threshold voltage and the reliability of the device.

따라서, 본 발명은 상기와 같은 종래 기술의 제반 단점과 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 게이트 산화막을 형성한 후, 제1 폴리 실리콘막을 증착하고, 인시튜 수소로 열처리를 하여 제2 폴리 실리콘막을 증착함으로써 게이트 산화막의 손실을 최소로 하는 반도체 소자의 게이트 산화막 형성 방법을 제공함에 본 발명의 목적이 있다.

도 2b에 도시된 바와 같이, 상기 인시튜 수소로 열처리 공정을 마친 제1 폴리 실리콘막(120) 상에 제2 폴리 실리콘막(130)을 증착한다. As shown in FIG. 2B, a second polysilicon layer 130 is deposited on the first polysilicon layer 120 which has been heat treated with in situ hydrogen.

따라서, 본 발명과 같이 산화막을 형성하면, 환원 반응에 의한 게이트 산화막의 손실이 없어 상기 게이트 산화막과 질화막 및 게이트 산화막과 폴리 실리콘막의 계면에 존재하는 댕글링 본드가 수소와 결합하여 계면 특성이 향상된다.Therefore, when the oxide film is formed as in the present invention, there is no loss of the gate oxide film due to the reduction reaction, and the dangling bond existing at the interface between the gate oxide film, the nitride film, the gate oxide film, and the polysilicon film is combined with hydrogen to improve the interface characteristics. .
