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 semiconductor device capable of realizing various critical dimensions (CDs) according to characteristics of semiconductor devices.

BACKGROUND ART [0002] With recent high integration of semiconductor devices, there is a growing demand for processing technology for film formation used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. This is because various films including an insulating film, a conductive film, and the like are formed in a multilayer structure and a structure having a fine pattern of a design rule of 0.1 m or less is formed.

In general, a MOS transistor is a type of field effect transistor (FET), and has a structure in which a gate oxide film and a gate are formed on a semiconductor substrate on which a source / drain region and a source / drain region formed on a semiconductor substrate are formed .

In the MOS transistor structure, a metal wiring for applying an electrical signal is connected to the source, the drain, and the gate, respectively, to operate the element.

In this MOS transistor fabrication process, a gate oxide film and a polysilicon film of a predetermined width are laminated on the surface of an active region of a silicon wafer and patterned to form a gate electrode.

Then, LDD (Lightly Doped Drain) is formed on the silicon wafer in the device region by implanting a P-type or N-type dopant at a low concentration into the silicon wafer in the device region using the gate electrode as a doping mask.

After sidewalls are formed on both side walls of the gate electrode, a dopant of the same conductivity type as that of LDD is ion-implanted into the silicon wafer in the device region at a high concentration using sidewalls and polysilicon as a doping mask, Source / drain is formed in the silicon wafer in the element region.

As the degree of integration of the semiconductor device is improved, the line width of the circuit becomes narrower, and accordingly, the size of the gate becomes smaller, and so-called nano gate is emerging.

In the conventional method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, it is impossible to realize a gate having a small size such as a nanogate due to the limitation of a photolithography process for forming a gate.

It is an object of the present invention to propose a method of fabricating a semiconductor device capable of simultaneously forming a gate electrode of various shapes by isotropic etching and lateral protection of an etched portion.

Another object of the present invention is to propose a semiconductor device manufacturing method capable of increasing the reliability of semiconductor devices by forming gate electrodes of various shapes according to characteristics of semiconductor devices.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of fabricating a semiconductor device, including: providing a semiconductor substrate and an oxide layer and a polysilicon layer sequentially formed on the semiconductor substrate, Applying the photo-resist to the substrate; And performing a plasma etching using the photoresist as an etching mask, wherein the plasma etching process is performed in a ratio of SF 6 and C 4 F 8 in a range of 1: 1 to 1: 2, By adjusting the ratio of SF 6 and C 4 F 8 , gate electrodes of different shapes are produced.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device according to another embodiment of the present invention includes sequentially forming an oxide layer and a polysilicon layer on a semiconductor substrate; Forming a patterned photoresist over the polysilicon layer; And performing a plasma etching using the photoresist as an etching mask to form a gate electrode, wherein SF 6 and C 4 F 8 are used in the plasma etching process, and SF 6 and C 4 F < 8 > is changed so that gate electrodes of different shapes are produced.

According to the method for fabricating a semiconductor device as described above, isotropic etching and lateral protection of an etched portion can be performed at the same time, and gate electrodes having various shapes can be formed.

In addition, by forming gate electrodes having various shapes according to characteristics of semiconductor devices, it is possible to increase the reliability of semiconductor devices.

Whenever a portion of a layer, film, region, or plate is referred to as being "on" another portion, it includes not only the case where it is "directly on" another portion, but also the case where there is another portion in between.

In various embodiments of the present invention, SF 6 and C 4 F 8 gases are used to protect the side of the etched portion with isotropic etching.

In particular, SF 6 is used as a material for isotropic etching by a fluorine radical, and C 4 F 8 forms a compound of (C x F y) n composition so that it can act as a protective film for protecting the side.

That is, a change in the flow rate of SF 6 and C 4 F 8 is performed during a plasma etching process for forming a gate. And, O 2 can be applied at 5 sccm. The gate electrode may be formed to have a different shape according to the elapse of time when the ratio of SF 6 to C 4 F 8 is changed.
