본 발명은 반도체 제조 기술에 관한 것으로, 특히 반도체소자의 패드 오픈 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to semiconductor manufacturing techniques, and more particularly to a method of opening a pad of a semiconductor device.
일반적으로 패드 오픈(Pad open) 공정이라 함은 최종 메탈배선(Final metal line) 형성 후에 와이어 본딩(Wire bonding)이 이루어지는 부분을 오픈시키는 공정이다.In general, a pad open process is a process of opening a portion where wire bonding is performed after the final metal line is formed.
도 1은 종래 기술에 따른 패드오픈 방법을 도시한 도면이다.1 is a diagram illustrating a pad opening method according to the prior art.
도 1을 참조하면, 최종 메탈배선(11)을 형성한 후, 증착 공정을 순차 실시하여 최종 메탈배선(11) 상에 산화막(12)과 질화막(13)의 이중층으로 된 보호막을 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1, after the
이어서, 도포 공정을 진행하여 보호막 상에 감광막(PR)을 도포한 후 노광 및 현상으로 패터닝하여 패드 마스크를 형성한다.Subsequently, the coating process is performed to apply the photosensitive film PR on the protective film, and then patterned by exposure and development to form a pad mask.
이어서, 패드 마스크를 식각 마스크로 하는 식각 공정을 실시하여 보호막의 일부를 선택 식각함으로써 최종 메탈배선(11)의 본딩 예정지역을 오픈한다. 이상의 공정을 패드오픈 공정이라고 하며, 보호막 식각 공정을 패드 식각(Pad etch) 공정이라고 한다.Subsequently, an etching process using the pad mask as an etching mask is performed to selectively etch a part of the protective film to open the bonding scheduled region of the
위와 같은 패드 오픈 공정은 임계치수(Critical Dimension; CD) 관리가 필요한 임계 공정이 아니므로 공정 단순화가 요구된다.The pad open process as described above is not a critical process requiring critical dimension (CD) management and thus requires a simplified process.
그러나, 종래 기술은 감광막 도포, 노광 및 현상을 통한 패드마스크 형성, 패드 식각 공정을 거치는 등 패드오픈 공정이 매우 복잡하여 비용이 증가하는 문제가 있다.However, the prior art has a problem in that the cost of the pad opening process is very complicated, such as through the photosensitive film coating, the formation of the pad mask through exposure and development, the pad etching process.
본 발명은 상기한 종래 기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 공정을 단순화시켜 비용을 절감할 수 있는 반도체소자의 패드 오픈 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a method of opening a pad of a semiconductor device which can reduce costs by simplifying a process.
상기 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 반도체소자의 패드 오픈 방법은 패드 용 최종 메탈배선을 형성하는 단계와, 상기 최종 메탈배선 상부에 산화막을 형성하는 단계와, 상기 산화막 상에 광 감응성막을 형성하는 단계와, 상기 광 감응성막에 패드 패턴을 전사하는 단계와, 상기 광 감응성막을 하드 마스크로 하여 상기 패드 패턴 아래의 산화막을 식각하여 상기 최종 메탈배선의 본딩 예정지역을 오픈시키는 단계를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 하며, 상기 광 감응성막은 광 감응성 질화막으로 형성하는 것을 특징으로 한다.According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of opening a pad of a semiconductor device, forming a final metal wiring for a pad, forming an oxide film on the final metal wiring, and forming a photosensitive film on the oxide film. And transferring a pad pattern to the photosensitive film, and etching the oxide film under the pad pattern using the photosensitive film as a hard mask to open a bonding area of the final metal wiring. The photosensitive film is formed of a photosensitive nitride film.
이하, 본 발명이 속하는 기술분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자가 본 발명의 기술적 사상을 용이하게 실시할 수 있을 정도로 상세히 설명하기 위하여, 본 발명의 가장 바람직한 실시 예를 첨부 도면을 참조하여 설명한다.Hereinafter, the most preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the technical idea of the present invention.
도 2a 내지 도 2d는 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 반도체소자의 패드오픈 방법을 도시한 도면이다.2A to 2D are diagrams illustrating a pad opening method of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
도 2a에 도시된 바와 같이, 와이어 본딩이 진행될 패드용 최종 메탈배선(Final metal line, 21)을 형성한 후, 증착 공정을 실시하여 최종 메탈배선(21) 상에 산화막(22)을 형성한다.As shown in FIG. 2A, after forming a
다시, 증착 공정을 실시함으로써, 산화막(22) 상에 광 감응성 질화막(Photosensitive nitride, 23)을 형성한다.Again, by performing the vapor deposition process, a
도 2b에 도시된 바와 같이, 패드 패턴이 형성된 포토 마스크, 즉 P/O 마스크(24)를 이용한 노광(Exposure) 공정을 실시함으로써, 이러한 노광 공정에 의해 광 감응성 질화막(23)에 패드패턴(25)이 전사된다. 이때, 노광은 부분 노광으로 진행한다.As shown in FIG. 2B, by performing an exposure process using a photomask having a pad pattern, that is, a P /
도 2c는 노광 후에 광 감응성 질화막(23)에 전사된 패드 패턴(25)을 도시한 도면이다. 이때, 패드 패턴(25)은 광 감응성 질화막(23)을 완전히 관통하는 형태가 아니다. 이는 상기 노광 공정시에 부분 노광을 진행함으로써 가능하며, 부분 노광하는 이유는 완전 노광(Full exposure)에 의해 광 감응성 질화막(23) 하부의 산화막이 어택받는 것을 방지하기 위함이다. 이상의 패드 패턴(25)을 형성하는 공정을 질화막 패드 오픈(Nitride pad open) 공정이라고 한다.FIG. 2C shows the
다음으로, 도 2d에 도시된 바와 같이, 광 감응성 질화막(23)을 하드 마스크로 이용하여 패드 식각 공정을 진행한다. 즉, 광 감응성 질화막(23)의 패드 패턴(25) 아래의 나머지 광 감응성 질화막과 산화막(22)을 순차 식각함으로써 최종 메탈배선(21)의 본딩 예정지역을 개방시키는 패드 오픈 공정을 진행한다. 이때, 패드 오픈 공정은 건식 식각(Dry etch)으로 진행하며, 산화막(22) 식각시 질화막 물질인 광 감응성 질화막(23)은 선택비를 가져 하드 마스크로서 충분히 그 역할을 한다. Next, as shown in FIG. 2D, the pad etching process is performed using the
상술한 실시 예에 따르면, 패드 오픈 공정을 위한 하드 마스크로서 광 감응성질화막을 이용함에 따라 패드 오픈 공정을 단순화시킬 수 있다. 즉 감광막 도포 공정, 노광 공정, 현상 공정 및 애싱 공정을 진행하지 않아도 되어 공정이 매우 단순해진다.According to the above-described embodiments, the pad opening process may be simplified by using the photosensitive nitride film as a hard mask for the pad opening process. In other words, the photosensitive film coating step, the exposure step, the developing step, and the ashing step do not have to be performed.
한편, 상술한 실시 예에서는 하드 마스크로 사용되는 물질을 광 감응성 질화막을 예로 들었으나, 본 발명의 패드 오픈 공정시 광 감응성 성질을 갖고 식각 선택비가 높은 물질로도 적용이 가능하다.Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiment, the material used as the hard mask is exemplified by the photosensitive nitride film, but it is also applicable to a material having a photosensitive property and a high etching selectivity in the pad opening process of the present invention.
본 발명의 기술 사상은 상기 바람직한 실시 예에 따라 구체적으로 기술되었 으나, 상기한 실시 예는 그 설명을 위한 것이며 그 제한을 위한 것이 아님을 주의하여야 한다. 또한, 본 발명의 기술 분야의 통상의 전문가라면 본 발명의 기술 사상의 범위 내에서 다양한 실시 예가 가능함을 이해할 수 있을 것이다.Although the technical spirit of the present invention has been described in detail according to the above-described preferred embodiment, it should be noted that the above-described embodiment is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. In addition, those skilled in the art will understand that various embodiments are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
상술한 본 발명은 패드 오픈 공정을 위한 하드 마스크로서 광 감응성 질화막을 이용함에 따라 패드 오픈 공정을 단순화시킬 수 있어 비용을 절감할 수 있는 효과가 있다.The present invention described above can simplify the pad opening process by using the photosensitive nitride film as a hard mask for the pad opening process, thereby reducing the cost.
