본 발명은 듀얼(Dual) 게이트 산화막의 형성 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 반도체 기판에 중수소를 주입한 후 듀얼 게이트 산화막의 형성 공정을 진행하여 소자의 집적화, 수율 및 신뢰성을 향상시키는 듀얼 게이트 산화막의 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.
BACKGROUND OF THE
듀얼 게이트 산화막 공정은 동일 웨이퍼 내에서 두께가 서로 다른 두 가지 종류의 게이트 산화막을 형성하는 공정으로서, 빠른 동작을 요구하는 코아(Core) 칩 부분과 신뢰성이 중요시되는 입/출력 블록(Block)으로 구성되는 회로 소자에서 일반적으로 사용하는 공정이다.The dual gate oxide film process is to form two kinds of gate oxide films having different thicknesses in the same wafer. The dual gate oxide film process is composed of a core chip portion requiring fast operation and an input / output block where reliability is important. It is a process generally used in circuit devices.
도 1a와 도 1b는 종래 기술에 따른 듀얼 게이트 산화막의 형성 방법을 도시한 단면도로서,“Ⅰ”는 고 신뢰성이 요구되는 영역인 제 1 영역을 도시한 것이고,“Ⅱ”는 고 스피드가 요구되는 영역인 제 2 영역을 도시한 것이다.1A and 1B are cross-sectional views showing a method of forming a dual gate oxide film according to the prior art, in which “I” shows a first region which is a region requiring high reliability, and “II” shows a high speed required. The second area, which is the area, is shown.
도 1a를 참조하면, 반도체 기판(11)상에 감광막을 도포하고, 상기 감광막을 상기 제 1 영역(Ⅰ)에만 남도록 선택적으로 노광 및 현상하여 감광막 패턴(13)을 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1A, a photoresist film is coated on a
그리고, 상기 감광막 패턴(13)을 마스크로 하는 이온 주입 공정에 의해 상기 제 2 영역(Ⅱ)의 반도체 기판(11)에 질소 이온(15)을 주입한다.Then,
도 1b를 참조하면, 상기 감광막 패턴(13)을 제거하고, 열산화 공정으로 상기 반도체 기판(11) 상에 게이트 산화막(17)을 형성한다. 이때, 상기 제 2 영역(Ⅱ)의 게이트 산화막(17)은 상기 질소 이온(15)이 주입되어 상기 제 1 영역(Ⅰ)의 게이트 산화막(17)보다 그 두께가 얇게 형성되어 듀얼 게이트 산화막을 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1B, the
그러나 종래의 듀얼 게이트 산화막의 형성 방법은 열 산화막의 두께를 다르게 하여 듀얼 게이트 산화막을 형성하므로, 전기적으로 상기 4Å 이하 두께의 열 산화막은 반도체 기판의 표면 또는 계면에서 포화되지 않는 실리콘 결합에 의해 발생되는 불포화 결합을 하기 때문에 터널링(Tunneling)을 일으키는 등 게이트 산화막으로의 역할을 할 수 없으므로 소자의 수율 및 신뢰성이 저하되는 문제점이 있었다.However, in the conventional method of forming the dual gate oxide film, since the dual gate oxide film is formed by varying the thickness of the thermal oxide film, the thermal oxide film having a thickness of 4 Å or less is generated by silicon bonding that is not saturated at the surface or interface of the semiconductor substrate. Since unsaturated bonds do not act as gate oxides such as tunneling, the yield and reliability of the device are deteriorated.
본 발명은 상기의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출한 것으로 반도체 기판에 중수소를 주입한 후 듀얼 게이트 산화막의 형성 공정을 진행하므로, 종래의 4Å 이하 두께의 열 산화막 성장 공정 시 발생되는 터널링 현상을 방지하는 듀얼 게이트 산화막의 형성 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and since the process of forming a dual gate oxide film after injecting deuterium into a semiconductor substrate, the dual to prevent the tunneling phenomenon occurring during the conventional thermal oxide growth process of less than 4kW thick Its purpose is to provide a method for forming a gate oxide film.
이상의 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명은 고 신뢰성이 요구되는 제 1 영역과 고 스피드가 요구되는 제 2 영역이 각각 정의된 기판에 이온 주입 공정으로 중수소 이온을 주입하는 단계, 상기 제 2 영역의 반도체 기판 상에 질소 이온이 함유된 산화막을 형성하는 단계, 상기 산화막과 제 1 영역의 반도체 기판 상에 게이트 산화막을 성장시키는 단계를 포함하는 듀얼 게이트 산화막의 형성 방법을 제공하는 것과,The present invention for achieving the above object is a step of injecting deuterium ions into the substrate defined by the first region is required for high reliability and the second region is required for high speed by an ion implantation process, the semiconductor substrate of the second region Providing a method of forming a dual gate oxide film comprising forming an oxide film containing nitrogen ions thereon, and growing a gate oxide film on the oxide film and a semiconductor substrate in a first region;
상기 중수소 이온을 주입하는 단계는 20 ∼ 30 KeV의 이온 주입 에너지로 5E13 ∼ 1E15/㎠ 도즈량을 상기 반도체 기판에 주입하는 것과,The step of implanting deuterium ions is to inject 5E13 ~ 1E15 / ㎠ dose to the semiconductor substrate with an ion implantation energy of 20 ~ 30 KeV,
상기 산화막을 N2 또는 NH3 분위기의 어닐 공정 또는 RPN 공정으로 형성하는 것을 특징으로 한다.The oxide film is formed by an annealing process or an RPN process in an N 2 or NH 3 atmosphere.
본 발명의 원리는 반도체 기판에 중수소를 주입한 후 듀얼 게이트 산화막의 형성 공정을 진행하므로, 상기 중수소가 결합성이 우수하기 때문에 종래의 열 산화막과 반도체 기판의 불포화 결합 대신 상기 중수소와 반도체 기판의 불포화 결합이 발생되어 종래의 4Å 이하 두께의 열 산화막 성장 공정 시 발생되는 터널링 현상을 방지하는 발명이다.In the principle of the present invention, since the process of forming the dual gate oxide film is performed after the injection of deuterium into the semiconductor substrate, since the deuterium has excellent bondability, the desaturation of the deuterium and the semiconductor substrate instead of the unsaturated bond of the conventional thermal oxide film and the semiconductor substrate is performed. Bonding occurs to prevent the tunneling phenomenon that occurs during the conventional thermal oxide film growth process of less than 4Å thickness.
이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명을 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도 2a 내지 도 2c는 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 듀얼 게이트 산화막의 형성 방법을 도시한 단면도로서,“Ⅰ”는 고 신뢰성이 요구되는 영역인 제 1 영역을 도시한 것이고,“Ⅱ”는 고 스피드가 요구되는 영역인 제 2 영역을 도시한 것이다.2A through 2C are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of forming a dual gate oxide film according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, in which “I” illustrates a first region in which high reliability is required, and “II” represents a high speed. Fig. 2 shows a second area in which is required area.

도 2b를 참조하면, N2 또는 NH3 분위기의 어닐 공정 또는 RPN(Remote Plasma Nitridation) 공정으로 상기 반도체 기판(31) 상에 질소 이온이 많이 함유된 산화막(35)을 형성한다. 이때, 상기 질소 이온이 많이 함유된 산화막(35)은 상기 반도체 기판(31)에 주입된 중수소 이온(33)의 해리를 방지하는 역할을 한다.Referring to FIG. 2B, an oxide film 35 containing a large amount of nitrogen ions is formed on the
그리고, 상기 산화막(35) 상에 감광막을 도포하고, 상기 감광막을 상기 제 1 영역(Ⅰ)에만 제거되도록 선택적으로 노광 및 현상하여 감광막 패턴(37)을 형성한다.Then, a photoresist film is coated on the oxide film 35, and the photoresist film is selectively exposed and developed to be removed only in the first region I to form a
이어, 상기 감광막 패턴(37)을 마스크로 상기 제 1 영역(Ⅰ)의 산화막(35)을 식각한다.Subsequently, the oxide layer 35 of the first region I is etched using the
도 2c를 참조하면, 상기 감광막 패턴(37)을 제거하고, 열산화 공정으로 상기 반도체 기판(31)과 산화막(35) 상에 게이트 산화막(39)을 형성한다. 이때, 상기 제 2 영역(Ⅱ)의 게이트 산화막(39)은 상기 질소 이온이 많이 함유된 산화막(35)에 의해 상기 제 1 영역(Ⅰ)의 게이트 산화막(39)보다 그 두께가 얇게 형성되어 듀얼 게이트 산화막을 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 2C, the
본 발명의 듀얼 게이트 산화막의 형성 방법은 반도체 기판에 중수소를 주입한 후 듀얼 게이트 산화막의 형성 공정을 진행하므로, 상기 중수소가 결합성이 우수하기 때문에 종래의 열 산화막과 반도체 기판의 불포화 결합 대신 상기 중수소와 반도체 기판의 불포화 결합이 발생되어 종래의 4Å 이하 두께의 열 산화막 성장 공정 시 발생되는 터널링 현상을 방지하므로 소자의 집적화, 수율 및 신뢰성을 향상시키는 효과가 있다.In the method of forming a dual gate oxide film according to the present invention, since deuterium is injected into a semiconductor substrate and then a dual gate oxide film is formed, the deuterium has excellent bonding property, so the deuterium is replaced with the unsaturated bond between the conventional thermal oxide film and the semiconductor substrate. And unsaturated bonds of the semiconductor substrate are prevented, thereby preventing tunneling occurring during the conventional thermal oxide growth process of 4 Å or less in thickness, thereby improving integration, yield, and reliability of the device.
