Can be received by the device.
그리고, 후속 공정을 진행하기 위한 키(key) 형성 때문에 마스크층을 추가해서 키 면적(key area)의 질화막을 제거해 주었다.In addition, a mask layer was added to remove the nitride film of the key area because of key formation for the subsequent process.
또한, 질화막 스트레스로 인해 질화막의 두께에 제한을 받기 때문에 질화막이 얇을 경우, 콘택장벽 역할을 제대로 못하게 되어, 도 3에서의 "A"와 같이, 트렌치내의 소자분리막(Fox)이 공격(attack)을 받는 현상이 발생하기도 한다.In addition, when the nitride film is thin due to the nitride film stress, the nitride film is thin, so that it does not function properly as a contact barrier. As shown in FIG. 3A, the device isolation film Fox in the trench is attacked. Receiving phenomenon may occur.
이에 본 발명은 상기 종래기술의 제반 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출한 것으로서, 질화막이 트렌치측벽에 스페이서 형태로 남게 하여 콘택 랜딩마진을 높이므로써 별도의 키 마진(key mask) 공정이 필요없고, 스페이서 두께도 두껍게 제어가 가능하므로 콘택 오정렬 마진을 더 확보할 수 있는 반도체소자의 콘택 형성방법을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, by increasing the contact landing margin by leaving the nitride film in the form of a spacer on the side wall of the trench, there is no need for a separate key mask process, spacer thickness It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for forming a contact of a semiconductor device, which can provide a thicker control and further secure a contact misalignment margin.

이하, 본 발명에 따른 반도체소자의 콘택 형성방법을 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, a method for forming a contact of a semiconductor device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도 4 내지 도 6은 본 발명에 따른 반도체소자의 콘택 형성방법을 설명하기 위한 공정단면도이다.4 to 6 are cross-sectional views illustrating a method for forming a contact of a semiconductor device according to the present invention.
본 발명에 따른 반도체소자의 콘택 형성방법은, 도 4에 도시된 바와같이, 먼저 반도체기판(21)내에 활성영역과 비활성영역을 한정하는 트렌치(미도시)를 형성한후 상기 트렌치(미도시)를 포함한 반도체기판(21)상에 절연막(미도시)을 증착한다.In the method for forming a contact of a semiconductor device according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, first, a trench (not shown) defining an active region and an inactive region is formed in the
그다음, 상기 절연막(미도시)을 상기 트렌치(미도시)내에만 남도록 전면식각하여 트렌치소자분리막(25a)을 형성한다.Next, the
이어서, 반도체기판(21)의 활성영역상에 게이트전극(27)을 형성한후 측면에 스페이서(29)를 형성하고, 스페이서(29)의 측면아래의 반도체기판(21)내에 소오스 및 드레인(미도시)을 형성하여 소자를 제조한다.Subsequently, after the
그다음, 도면에는 도시하지 않았지만, 소자 제조후 상기 트렌치 소자분리막 (25a)을 전면 식각하여 상기 트렌치소자분리막(25a)을 일정 두께만큼 제거하여 측벽 (미도시) 을 형성한다. Next, although not shown in the drawing, after the fabrication of the device, the
이어서, 도 5에 도시된 바와같이, 일정 두께만큼 제거된 트렌치소자분리막 (25a)을 포함한 전체 결과물상에 질화막(31)을 증착한후 상기 질화막(31)을 전면식 각 하여 트렌치소자분리막(25a)의 측벽에 질화막스페이서(31a)을 형성한다.Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 5, after the
그다음, 상기 전체 구조의 상면에 층간절연막(33)을 증착한후 이를 선택적으로 패터닝하여 상기 반도체기판(21)의 활성영역을 노출시키는 콘택홀(35)을 형성한다. 이때, 상기 콘택홀(35)은 상기 질화막스페이서(31a)에 의해 오정렬 마진을 확보할 수 있어 오정렬에 의한 트렌치 소자분리막 측벽 공격(attack)을 방지할 수 있다.Next, an
이어서, 상기 콘택홀(35)을 포함한 전체 결과물상에 도전층(미도시)을 증착한후 이를 전면식각하여 상기 콘택홀(35)내에 콘택플러그(37)을 형성하고 이어 후속공정을 진행한다. Subsequently, a conductive layer (not shown) is deposited on the entire product including the
상기에서 설명한 바와같이, 본 발명에 따른 반도체소자의 콘택 형성방법에 있어서는 다음과 같은 효과가 있다.As described above, the method for forming a contact of a semiconductor device according to the present invention has the following effects.
본 발명에 따른 반도체소자의 콘택 형성방법에 의하면, 반도체기판의 활성영역에 형성된 콘택은 질화막 스페이서에 의해 오정렬 마진을 갖게 되어 안정적인 공정진행이 가능하다. 즉, 콘택홀의 오정렬 마진을 확보할 수 있어 오정렬에 의한 트렌치 소자분리막 측벽 공격(attack)을 방지할 수 있다.According to the method for forming a contact of a semiconductor device according to the present invention, the contact formed in the active region of the semiconductor substrate has a misalignment margin by the nitride film spacer, thereby allowing stable process progression. That is, the misalignment margin of the contact hole can be secured, thereby preventing the trench isolation layer sidewall attack caused by the misalignment.
또한, 콘택을 형성하기 위해 형성하는 질화막을 트렌치소자분리막 측벽에만 남도록 하므로써, 질화막이 전면에 증착되어 있는 기존의 기술에 비해 질화막 스트레스를 줄일 수 있다.In addition, since the nitride film formed to form the contact remains only on the sidewalls of the trench isolation layer, the nitride film stress can be reduced as compared with the conventional technology in which the nitride film is deposited on the entire surface.
그리고, 질화막 증착 두께를 조절하여 스페이서 두께 조절이 가능하므로 오 정렬 마진의 제어가 용이하다.In addition, since the thickness of the spacer may be adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the nitride film deposition, the misalignment margin is easily controlled.
더욱이, 후속공정을 위해 키면적(key area)를 개구시켜 주었던 키오픈 마스크, 식각공정, PR 제거공정 등을 없앨 수 있어 공정 단순화 차원에서 이득이 있다.In addition, it is possible to eliminate key open masks, etching processes, PR removal processes, etc., which have opened key areas for subsequent processes, which is advantageous in terms of process simplification.
