본 발명은 반도체 소자의 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 반도체 소자의 금속배선 형성방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for forming metal wiring of a semiconductor device.                         

일반적으로 반도체 소자가 미세화됨에 따라 금속배선 간의 RC 딜레이가 큰 문제로 대두되었으며 이를 해결하기 위해 구리 금속배선과 저유전막질의 층간 절연막이 도입되었다. In general, as semiconductor devices have been miniaturized, the RC delay between metal wirings has become a big problem, and to solve this problem, copper metal wirings and low dielectric film interlayer insulating films have been introduced.

상기 구리 금속배선을 형성하기 위해 주로 듀얼 다마신 공정을 주로 사용하게 되는 데, 상기 듀얼 다마신 공정을 통해 구리 금속배선을 형성할 때는 저유전막질의 층간 절연막 사이에 식각정지막들을 형성하여 통일성을 가진 금속배선 저항을 확보할 수 있게 된다. The dual damascene process is mainly used to form the copper metal interconnection. When the copper metal interconnection is formed through the dual damascene process, etching stop layers are formed between the interlayer insulating layers of low dielectric film quality to have uniformity. Metal wiring resistance can be secured.

그러나 최근 들어 식각 정지막의 사용에 제한이 따르게 되어 식각 정지막을 사용하지 않고 비아 레벨과 트렌치 레벨의 층간 절연막들을 서로 다르게 적용하여 금속배선을 형성하는 하이브리드(hybrid) 듀얼 다마신 공정이 도입되었는 데, 이때 주로 트렌치 레벨의 층간 절연막으로는 저유전막질을, 비아 레벨의 층간 절연막들로는 FSG와 같은 막질을 사용하게 된다. However, in recent years, the use of an etch stop film has been restricted, and a hybrid dual damascene process, in which a metallization is formed by applying different via and trench level interlayer insulating films without using an etch stop film, has been introduced. In general, a low dielectric film quality is used as the trench level interlayer insulating film, and a film quality such as FSG is used as the via level interlayer insulating film.

그러나 상기 하이브리드 듀얼 다마신 공정에 비아 홀 형성을 위한 식각 공정시 식각가스로 CxFy, O2, 및 Ar이 혼합된 가스 또는 CHpFp, CxFy, O2 및 Ar이 혼합된 가스(여기서, x, y, p는 자연수)를 사용하여 수행하였는데, 저유전막질인 층간 절연막의 식각시에는 플루오르 카본(fluorocarbon) 폴리머가 다량으로 형성되어 비아홀 내부에 증착하게 되어 계속적으로 수행되는 FSG막인 층간 절연막의 식각이 정지되어 비아홀의 형성을 방해하는 문제점이 있었다. However, in the hybrid dual damascene process, a gas containing CxFy, O2, and Ar mixed as an etching gas or a gas mixed with CHpFp, CxFy, O2 and Ar as an etching gas in the etching process for forming a via hole (where x, y, p is When the interlayer insulating film is a low dielectric film, a large amount of fluorocarbon polymer is formed and deposited inside the via hole, so that the etching of the interlayer insulating film, which is a continuous FSG film, is stopped. There was a problem that prevented formation.

상술한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 본 발명의 목적은 비아홀의 형성을 방해하는 요소가 제거된 반도체 소자의 금속배선 형성방법을 제공함에 있다.
An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a method for forming a metal wiring of a semiconductor device in which the element that prevents the formation of the via hole is removed.

상술한 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 사상은 하부 금속배선이 형성된 제1 층간 절연막 상부에 확산 방지막, 제2 층간 절연막, 제3 층간 절연막을 순차적으로 형성하는 단계, 상기 제3 층간 절연막을 포함한 결과물 상에 비아홀을 정의하는 제1 포토레지스트 패턴을 형성하는 단계, 상기 제1 포토레지스트 패턴을 식각 마스크로 하여 상기 제3 층간 절연막을 식각하는 제1 식각 공정과 상기 제2 층간 절연막을 식각하는 제2 식각 공정을 순차적으로 수행하여 비아홀을 형성하는 단계, 상기 제1 포토레지스트 패턴을 제거한 후 상기 제3 층간 절연막 상부의 소정 영역에 금속배선 트렌치를 정의하는 제2 포토레지스트 패턴을 형성하고, 상기 제2 포토레지스트 패턴을 식각 마스크로 하여 제3 층간 절연막을 식각하여 금속배선 트렌치를 형성하는 단계 및 상기 금속배선 트렌치 및 비아홀에 금속물질을 매립하여 상기 하부 금속배선과 전기적으로 연결되는 상부 금속배선을 형성하는 단계를 포함하며, 상기 제2 식각 공정은 상기 제3 층간 절연막을 식각하는 제1 식각 공정에서 상기 제3 층간 절연막의 측벽에 생성된 플루오르 카본(fluorocarbon) 폴리머를 제거하기 위해 CxFy, N2, O2 및 Ar이 혼합된 가스 또는 CHpFp, CxFy, N2, O2 및 Ar이 혼합된 가스(여기서, x, y, p는 자연수)를 사용한다.

도 1 내지 도 3은 본 발명에 따른 반도체 소자의 금속배선 형성방법을 설명하기 위한 단면도들이다. 1 to 3 are cross-sectional views illustrating a method for forming metal wirings of a semiconductor device according to the present invention.

도 1을 참조하면, 구리물질과 같은 금속배선(20)이 형성된 제1 층간 절연막(22) 상부에 확산 방지막(24), 제2 층간 절연막(26), 제3 층간 절연막(28) 및 제1 반사방지막(30)을 순차적으로 형성한다. Referring to FIG. 1, the diffusion barrier layer 24, the second interlayer dielectric layer 26, the third interlayer dielectric layer 28, and the first layer may be formed on the first interlayer dielectric layer 22 on which the metal wiring 20, such as a copper material, is formed. The antireflection film 30 is sequentially formed.

상기 제2 층간 절연막(26)은 FSG막 또는 TEOS막으로 형성할 수 있고, 상기 제3 층간 절연막(28)은 k가 3이하인 저유전율 막질로 형성할 수 있다. The second interlayer insulating film 26 may be formed of an FSG film or a TEOS film, and the third interlayer insulating film 28 may be formed of a low dielectric constant film having k of 3 or less.                     

상기 제3 층간 절연막(28) 상에 비아홀을 정의할 제1 포토레지스트 패턴(PR1)을 형성하고, 이를 식각 마스크로 제1 반사방지막(30), 제3 층간 절연막(28) 및 제2 층간 절연막(26)을 식각하여 비아홀(VH)을 형성한다. A first photoresist pattern PR1 defining a via hole is formed on the third interlayer insulating layer 28, and the first anti-reflection film 30, the third interlayer insulating film 28, and the second interlayer insulating film are formed using an etching mask. Etch 26 to form via holes VH.

상기 비아홀(VH) 형성 식각 공정시 제3 층간 절연막(28)까지의 식각공정과 제2 층간 절연막(26)의 식각공정을 각각 수행하게 된다. In the etching process of the via hole VH formation, the etching process up to the third interlayer insulating layer 28 and the etching process of the second interlayer insulating layer 26 are performed.

상기 제3 층간 절연막(28)의 식각 공정은 CxFy, O2, 및 Ar이 혼합된 가스(여기서, x, y는 자연수)를 사용하여 수행하는 데, 이 식각공정으로 인해 제3 층간 절연막(28)에 형성된 비아홀의 측벽에는 플루오르 카본(fluorocarbon)폴리머가 생성되고, 이로 인해 제2 층간 절연막(26)에는 식각이 수행되지 않아 식각이 정지된다. The etching process of the third interlayer insulating film 28 is performed using a gas in which CxFy, O2, and Ar are mixed (where x and y are natural waters), which causes the third interlayer insulating film 28 to be etched. Fluorocarbon polymers are generated on the sidewalls of the via holes formed in the via holes. As a result, etching is not performed on the second interlayer insulating layer 26 to stop the etching.

이어서, 식각이 정지된 상기 제2 층간 절연막(26)에 또 다른 식각가스를 통해 식각공정을 수행하게 되는 데, 이때 식각가스는 CxFy, N2, O2 및 Ar이 혼합된 가스 또는 CHpFp, CxFy, N2, O2 및 Ar이 혼합된 가스(여기서, x, y, p는 자연수)를 사용하여 수행하는 데, 이 식각공정으로 인해 제3 층간 절연막(28)의 식각시 형성된 플루오르 카본 폴리머를 제거하면서 동시에 제2 층간 절연막(26)을 식각하여 비아홀(VH)의 형성을 완료한다.Subsequently, the etching process is performed through another etching gas to the second interlayer insulating layer 26 where the etching is stopped, wherein the etching gas is a mixture of CxFy, N2, O2 and Ar or CHpFp, CxFy, N2. , O2 and Ar mixed gas (where x, y, p are natural water), which removes the fluorocarbon polymer formed during the etching of the third interlayer insulating film 28 due to the etching process. The two interlayer insulating layers 26 are etched to complete the formation of the via holes VH.

종래 기술에서와 같이 저유전막질인 제3 층간 절연막 및 FSG막인 제2 층간절연막에 CxFy, O2 및 Ar이 혼합된 가스 또는 CHpFp, CxFy, Ar, O2이 혼합된 가스(여기서, x, y, p는 자연수)를 통해 식각공정을 수행하게 되면, 제3 층간 절연막의 식각시 플루오르 카본(fluorocarbon)폴리머의 생성이 심하게 되어 FSG막인 제2 층간 절연막의 식각이 정지되는 문제점이 있었지만, 본 발명에서와 같이 N2를 첨가된 식각가스를 통해 제2 층간 절연막의 식각을 진행하게 되면, CNFx와 같은 형태로 플루오로 카본(fluorocarbon)폴리머가 제거되어 FSG막인 제2 층간 절연막의 식각도 원할히 수행되었다.As in the prior art, a gas in which CxFy, O2 and Ar are mixed or a gas in which CHpFp, CxFy, Ar, and O2 are mixed in a third interlayer insulating film having a low dielectric film quality and a second interlayer insulating film which is an FSG film (here, x, y, p When the etching process is performed through a natural number), the fluorocarbon polymer is severely generated during the etching of the third interlayer insulating film, so that the etching of the second interlayer insulating film, which is the FSG film, is stopped. When the second interlayer insulating film was etched through the etching gas to which N2 was added, the fluorocarbon polymer was removed in the same form as CNFx, thereby smoothly etching the second interlayer insulating film, which is an FSG film.

도 2를 참조하면, 상기 비아홀(VH)이 형성된 결과물의 제1 포토레지스트 패턴(PR1) 및 제1 반사방지막(30)을 제거하고, 상기 제3 층간 절연막(28) 상에 제2 반사 방지막(32)을 형성하고, 제2 반사 방지막(32)상의 소정 영역에 금속배선 트렌치를 정의하는 제2 포토레지스트 패턴(PR2)을 형성하고 이를 식각 마스크로 제2 반사방지막(32) 및 제3 층간절연막(28)을 식각하여 금속배선 트렌치(MT)를 형성한다. Referring to FIG. 2, the first photoresist pattern PR1 and the first anti-reflection film 30 of the resultant product having the via holes VH are removed, and a second anti-reflection film (on the third interlayer insulating film 28) is removed. 32 is formed, and a second photoresist pattern PR2 defining a metal wiring trench is formed in a predetermined region on the second anti-reflection film 32, and the second anti-reflection film 32 and the third interlayer insulating film are formed as an etching mask. (28) is etched to form the metallization trench MT.

상기 금속배선 트렌치를 정의하기 위한 상기 제3 층간 절연막의 식각 공정시하부의 FSG막인 제2 층간 절연막이 식각되지 않도록 하기 위해, CxFy, N2, 및 Ar이 혼합된 가스(여기서, x, y는 자연수)를 식각가스로 하여 수행한다. In order to prevent the second interlayer insulating film, which is the FSG film during the etching process of the third interlayer insulating film, to define the metallization trench from being etched, a gas in which CxFy, N2, and Ar are mixed (where x and y are natural numbers ) As an etching gas.

상기 금속배선 트렌치 공정시 비아 바텀 부위의 확산반지막이 식각되어 하부의 금속배선이 노출되지 않도록 한다. During the metallization trench process, the diffusion ring layer of the via bottom portion is etched to prevent the lower metallization from being exposed.
