Abstract
본 발명은 누설 전류 발생을 방지시키는 MIM 커패시터 제조방법에 관한 것이다. 즉, 본 발명은 MIM 구조 커패시터 제조시 유전체와 하부 전극층 측벽을 절연물질로 도포함으로써, 후속 공정에서 상부 전극용으로 사용되는 질화 타이타늄막 식각시 발생되는 금속 성분의 부산물들이 MIM 커패시터의 측면에 부착된다 할지라도, 상기 MIM 커패시터의 유전체와 하부 전극층 측벽에 도포된 절연물질 위에 부착되어 누설전류가 원천적으로 방지되는 이점이 있다.The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a MIM capacitor that prevents leakage current generation. That is, the present invention applies the dielectric and the lower electrode layer sidewalls as an insulating material in the manufacture of the MIM structure capacitor, whereby by-products of metal components generated during etching of the titanium nitride film used for the upper electrode in the subsequent process are attached to the side of the MIM capacitor. However, there is an advantage that the leakage current is fundamentally prevented by being attached on the dielectric material of the MIM capacitor and the insulating material applied to the sidewalls of the lower electrode layer.

본 발명은 반도체 소자의 금속-절연체-금속(Metal-Insulator-Metal: MIM) 구조를 가지는 MIM 커패시터 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 누설 전류(Leakage Current) 발생을 방지시키는 MIM 커패시터 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a MIM capacitor having a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method of manufacturing a MIM capacitor that prevents leakage current.
통상적으로 MIM 커패시터라함은 절연층을 사이에 두고 양 극판으로 알루미늄 등과 같은 금속패턴을 사용하는 커패시터를 의미하는 것으로, 상부전극이나 하부전극의 일부 또는 전체를 폴리 실리콘으로 구성하고 있는 종래 커패시터와는 달리, 저전압에서도 구동이 가능하며, 셀 면적에 비해 높은 커패시턴스 특성을 가지고 있 어 고집접화 반도체 소자에 채용되고 있다.In general, the MIM capacitor means a capacitor using a metal pattern such as aluminum as an anode plate with an insulating layer interposed therebetween. Unlike a conventional capacitor in which part or all of an upper electrode or a lower electrode is made of polysilicon, In addition, it can be driven even at low voltage, and has a high capacitance characteristic compared to the cell area, so it is employed in highly integrated semiconductor devices.
도 1a 내지 도 1d는 종래 MIM 커패시터 제조 공정 수순을 도시한 것으로, 이하 상기 도 1a 내지 도 1d를 참조하여 종래 MIM 커패시터의 제조공정을 설명하면, 1A to 1D illustrate a conventional MIM capacitor manufacturing process. Hereinafter, a manufacturing process of a conventional MIM capacitor will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 1D.
먼저 도 1a에서와 같이 MIM구조를 위해 금속층(100)위에 질화 타이타늄막(TiN)(102), 질화 실리콘막(SiN)(104), 질화 타이타늄막(TiN)(106)을 차례로 적층시켜 MIM구조를 형성시킨다. 이때 상기 금속층(100)은 4000∼6000Å 두께로 형성되고, 하부 전극용 질화 타이타늄막(102)은 500∼1000Å 두께로 형성되며, 유전체 용 질화 실리콘막(104)은 400∼1000Å 두께로 형성된다. 또한 상부 전극용 질화 타이타늄막(106)은 1000∼1500Å 두께로 형성된다. First, as illustrated in FIG. 1A, a titanium nitride film (TiN) 102, a silicon nitride film (SiN) 104, and a titanium nitride film (TiN) 106 are sequentially stacked on the
이어 도 1b에서와 같이 상부 전극용 질화 타이타늄막(106) 위에 포토레지스트(Photo-resist)(108)를 증착시킨 후, MIM커패시터 형성 위치에 증착된 포토레지스트를 포토리소그라피(Photo-lithography) 공정 및 식각 공정을 통하여 패터닝시킨다. Subsequently, the
그리고 도 1c 및 도 1d에서와 같이 상기 패터닝된 포토레지스트(108)를 마스크로하여 상기 MIM구조 반도체 기판을 식각하여 MIM 커패시터를 형성시킨다. 이때 상기 MIM 식각은 후공정인 비아 식각을 하부 질화 타이타늄 층위에서 멈출 것인지, 금속층위에서 멈출 것인지에 따라 상기 도 1c 및 도 1d에서와 같은 프로파일로 형성할 수 있게 된다.1C and 1D, the MIM structure semiconductor substrate is etched using the patterned
그러나 상기한 바와 같은 종래 MIM 커패시터 제조공정에서는 누설전류 방지를 위해 1차적으로 MIM식각시 절연체 위에서 식각을 멈추는 방법이 있으나, 절연체 의 두께가 1000Å 미만으로 얇기 때문에 MIM커패시터의 크기가 분할되어 있을 경우 웨이퍼내에서의 식각율의 차이에 의해 부분적으로 하부 질화 타이타늄막이 오픈되어 누설전류가 발생하는 문제점이 있으며, 또한 도 2에서 보여지는 바와 같이 질화 타이타늄막 식각시 발생되는 금속 성분의 부산물(By-product)들(110)이 절연체인 질화막의 측면에 증착되어 커패시터에 전원이 공급되지 않는 경우에도 자연적으로 커패시터가 형성되어 누설 전류가 발생하는 문제점이 있었다.However, in the conventional MIM capacitor manufacturing process as described above, there is a method of stopping the etching on the insulator during the MIM etching to prevent leakage current. However, since the thickness of the insulator is thinner than 1000 mW, the wafer is divided when the size of the MIM capacitor is divided. Due to the difference in the etching rate in the inside, the lower titanium nitride film is partially opened and a leakage current is generated, and as shown in FIG. 2, a by-product of a metal component generated during etching of the titanium nitride film is shown. Even if the
따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 누설 전류 발생을 방지시키는 MIM 커패시터 제조방법을 제공함에 있다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a MIM capacitor to prevent the occurrence of leakage current.
상술한 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명은 MIM 커패시터 제조방법에 있어서, (a)금속막 위에 하부 전극용 금속물질막과 유전체용 절연물질막을 순차적으로 증착시키는 단계와; (b)상기 하부 전극용 금속물질막과 유전체용 절연물질막을 MIM 커패시터 패턴으로 식각시키는 단계와; (c)상기 하부 전극막과 유전체막을 절연물질로 도포한 후, 상기 유전체막이 드러날 때까지 에치백하는 단계와; (d)상기 유전체용 절연물질막위에 상부 전극용 금속물질막을 증착시키는 단계와; (e)상기 상부 전극용 금속물질을 MIM 커패시터 패턴으로 식각시켜 MIM 커패시터를 형성시키는 단계;를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 한다.According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a MIM capacitor, comprising the steps of: (a) sequentially depositing a lower electrode metal material film and a dielectric insulating material film on a metal film; (b) etching the lower electrode metal material layer and the dielectric insulating material layer with a MIM capacitor pattern; (c) coating the lower electrode film and the dielectric film with an insulating material and then etching back until the dielectric film is exposed; (d) depositing an upper electrode metal material film on the dielectric insulating material film; (e) forming a MIM capacitor by etching the upper electrode metal material in a MIM capacitor pattern.

Hereinafter, the MIM capacitor manufacturing process of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3E.
먼저 도 3a에서와 같이 MIM구조를 위해 금속층(300)위에 하부 전극용 질화 타이타늄막(302)과 유전체용 질화 실리콘막(304)을 순차적으로 적층시키고, MIM 커패시터가 형성될 위치에 포토레지스트를 패터닝 형성시킨 후, 패터닝된 포토레지스트를 마스크로 하여 상기 질화막과 하부 전극용 질화 타이타늄막을 차례로 식각시킨다. First, as shown in FIG. 3A, the lower electrode
이어 도 3b에서와 같이 상기 식각 형성된 MIM구조위에 옥사이드(Oxide), 나이트라이드(Nitride), 폴리(Poly) 등과 같은 절연물질막(306)을 도포한 후, 도 3c에서와 같이 유전체용 질화 실리콘막이 들어날때까지 에치백(Etch-back)시킨다.Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3B, an
그리고 도 3d에서와 같이 측벽에 절연체가 형성된 상기 MIM구조위에 상부 전극용 질화 타이타늄막(308)을 증착시킨 후, MIM커패시터가 형성될 위치에 포토레지스트(310)를 패터닝 형성시킨다. As shown in FIG. 3D, the
이어 도 3e에서와 같이 상기 패터닝된 포토레지스트(310)를 마스크로하여 상기 MIM 커패시터 형성 위치에 증착된 질화 타이타늄막외에 다른 영역에 증착된 질화 타이타늄막을 식각함으로써, MIM 커패시터를 형성시키게 된다. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3E, the patterned
이에 따라 도 4에서 보여지는 바와 같이 질화 타이타늄막 식각시 발생되는 금속 성분의 부산물들(310)이 MIM 커패시터의 측면에 부착된다 할지라도 TEOS위에 부착되기 때문에 누설전류가 원천적으로 방지되게 된다.Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4, even though the by-
한편 상술한 본 발명의 설명에서는 구체적인 실시 예에 관해 설명하였으나, 여러 가지 변형이 본 발명의 범위에서 벗어나지 않고 실시될 수 있다. 따라서 발명의 범위는 설명된 실시 예에 의하여 정할 것이 아니고 특허청구범위에 의해 정하여져야 한다.Meanwhile, in the above description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention should be determined by the claims rather than by the described embodiments.
이상에서 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명은 MIM 구조 커패시터 제조시 유전체와 하부 전극층 측벽을 절연물질로 도포함으로써, 후속 공정에서 상부 전극용으로 사용되는 질화 타이타늄막 식각시 발생되는 금속 성분의 부산물들이 MIM 커패시터의 측면에 부착된다 할지라도, 상기 MIM 커패시터의 유전체와 하부 전극층 측벽에 도포된 절연물질 위에 부착되어 누설전류가 원천적으로 방지되는 이점이 있다.As described above, the present invention is applied to the dielectric and the lower electrode layer sidewalls as an insulating material in the manufacture of the MIM structure capacitor, so that by-products of the metal components generated during the etching of the titanium nitride film used for the upper electrode in the subsequent process of the MIM capacitor Although attached to the side, it is advantageous to adhere to the dielectric material of the MIM capacitor and the insulating material applied to the sidewalls of the lower electrode layer to prevent leakage current.
