Description
본 발명은 격리막 형성 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 고집적 소자를 효율적으로 소자 분리하는 격리막 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of forming a separator, and more particularly, to a method of forming a separator for efficiently separating a highly integrated device.
반도체가 점점 고집적화 되면서 디자인 룰(Design rule)이 감소하고 이에 따라 소자격리를 위한 격리 영역도 감소하게 된다. 따라서 기존의 격리막 형성 방법으로 로코스(LOCOS)는 작은 영역에서도 소자 격리를 할 수 있는 트렌치 격리막(Trench Isolation) 형성 방법으로 변해가고 있다.As semiconductors become increasingly integrated, design rules are reduced, thus reducing isolation for device isolation. Therefore, LOCOS is changing to a trench isolation method that can isolate a device even in a small area.

After selectively exposing and developing to be removed, the first oxide film 12 and the semiconductor substrate 11 are selectively anisotropically etched using the selectively exposed and developed first photosensitive film 13 as a mask to form a trench ( Trench). Since the first photoresist layer 13 is used as a mask, heat is applied to the entire surface, so that the second oxide layer 14 is grown on the inner wall of the trench thicker than the first oxide layer 12, and then the first photoresist layer 13 is formed. Remove it.
도 1b에서와 같이, 전면에 질화막(15)과 다결정 실리콘(16)을 형성한 다음, 상기 다결정 실리콘(16)을 에치백한다.As shown in FIG. 1B, the nitride film 15 and the polycrystalline silicon 16 are formed on the entire surface, and then the polycrystalline silicon 16 is etched back.

도 1c에서와 같이, 상기 다결정 실리콘(16)을 포함한 질화막(15) 상에 BPSG(Boron Phosphosilicate Glass)층(17)을 형성하고 에치백 한다. 여기서 상기 BPSG층(17)은 에치백 공정으로 상기 트렌치내에만 존재하여 트렌치를 메꾼다. 그리고 상기 BPSG 층(17)을 포함한 질화막(15)상에 제3산화막(18)을 형성한다.As shown in FIG. 1C, a boron phosphosilicate glass (BPSG) layer 17 is formed and etched back on the nitride film 15 including the polycrystalline silicon 16. Here, the BPSG layer 17 exists only in the trench in an etch back process to fill the trench. A third oxide film 18 is formed on the nitride film 15 including the BPSG layer 17.
종래의 격리막 형성 방법은 2차에 걸친 트렌치 필링(Trench Filling) 공정을 실시했으나 고집적화에 따라 트렌치 깊이가 깊어져 보이드(Void) 문제가 심하고, 트렌치 바닥이 평평하여 트렌치의 모서리 부분에 전기장이 집중되는 문제가 있었다.Conventional isolation film formation process has been carried out two-step trench filling process, but due to the high integration, deep trench depth, void problems (Void), flat trench bottom, electric field is concentrated in the corner of the trench There was a problem.
본 발명은 상기의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출한 것으로 트렌치에 산소 이온을 틸트 이온 주입시키고 필링 물질을 산화시킴으로 보이드를 억제하고 하부 부분이 라운딩(Rounding)된 트렌치로 전기장이 감소되는 격리막 형성 방법을 제공하는게 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the above problems to provide an isolation film formation method of suppressing the voids by injecting oxygen ions into the trenches and oxidizing the filling material to suppress the voids and to reduce the electric field to the rounded trench. The purpose is to do that.

And forming a second insulating film, patterning the second insulating film so as to remain only in the trench, and heat-treating the second insulating film to form an isolation layer.
상기와 같은 본 발명에 따른 격리만 형성 방법의 바람직한 실시예를 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.If described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment of the isolation forming method according to the present invention as follows.
도 2a 내지 도 2e는 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 격리막 형성 방법을 나타낸 공정 단면도이다.2A to 2E are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of forming a separator according to an embodiment of the present invention.
도 2a에서와 같이, 격리 영역이 정의된 반도체 기판(31) 상에 제1산화막(32), 질화막(33), 제1감광막(34)을 차례로 형성한 다음, 상기 제1감광막(34)을 상기 격리 영역 상측에만 제거되도록 선택적으로 노광 및 현상한 후, 상기 선택적으로 노광 및 현상된 제1감광막(34)을 마스크로 이용하여 상기 질화막(33)을 등방성 식각으로 또 상기 제1산화막(32)을 이방성 식각함으로 콘택홀을 형성하고 상기 제1감광막(34)을 제거한다.As shown in FIG. 2A, the first oxide film 32, the nitride film 33, and the first photoresist film 34 are sequentially formed on the semiconductor substrate 31 on which the isolation region is defined, and then the first photoresist film 34 is formed. After selectively exposing and developing to be removed only above the isolation region, the nitride film 33 is isotropically etched using the selectively exposed and developed first photosensitive film 34 as a mask and the first oxide film 32 is removed. The contact hole is formed by anisotropic etching to remove the first photoresist layer 34.
도 2b에서와 같이, 상기 질화막(33)을 마스크로 이용하여 상기 반도체 기판(31)을 일정 깊이 만큼 식각함으로 트렌치를 형성한다.As shown in FIG. 2B, the trench is formed by etching the semiconductor substrate 31 by a predetermined depth using the nitride film 33 as a mask.
도 2c에서와 같이, 상기 질화막(33)을 마스크로 이용하여 상기 트렌치 상부에 산소 이온틀 틸트(Tilt) 이온 주입하여 산소 이온 주입 영역(35)을 형성한다.As illustrated in FIG. 2C, the oxygen ion implantation region 35 is formed by implanting oxygen ion tilt in the upper portion of the trench by using the nitride film 33 as a mask.
여기서 상기 산소 이온의 틸트(Tilt) 이온 주입으로 산소 이온이 상기 트렌치 상부의 양측에 주입되어 제1산소 이온 영역을 형성하고, 일부분이 반사되어 상기 트렌치 중간 부분의 양측에 주입되어 제2산소 이온 영역을 형성하며, 일부분이 상기 트렌치 바바닥에 주입되어 제3산소 이온 영역을 형성한다.Here, oxygen ions are injected to both sides of the trench to form first oxygen ion regions by tilt ion implantation of the oxygen ions, and portions of the oxygen ions are reflected to be injected to both sides of the middle portion of the trench to inject the second oxygen ion regions. And a portion is implanted into the bottom of the trench to form a third oxygen ion region.
도 2d에서와 같이, 전면에 제2산화막(36)을 CVD방법으로 형성하고, 에치백한다. 여기서 상기 제2산화막(36)은 상기 에치백 공정으로 상기 트렌치 내에만 잔류하게 된다.As shown in Fig. 2D, a second oxide film 36 is formed on the entire surface by a CVD method and etched back. Here, the second oxide layer 36 remains only in the trench by the etch back process.
그리고 도 2e에서와 같이, 상기 에치백 공정을 실시한 제2산화막(36)을 포함한 전면에 열을 가하여 상기 제2산화막(36)과 반도체 기판(11)을 반응시켜 필드 산화막(37)을 형성한 다음, 상기 질화막(33)과 제1산화막(32)을 제거한다. 여기서 필드 산화막(37)은 다른 부위보다 상기 산소 이온 주입 영역(35) 부위에 두껍게 형성하므로 즉 산소 이온이 많이 주입된 상기 트렌치 상부는 두꺼운 산화막이 자라고, 하부에는 조금 자라게 된다.As shown in FIG. 2E, the field oxide film 37 is formed by reacting the second oxide film 36 with the semiconductor substrate 11 by applying heat to the entire surface including the second oxide film 36 subjected to the etch back process. Next, the nitride film 33 and the first oxide film 32 are removed. In this case, the field oxide film 37 is formed thicker in the oxygen ion implantation region 35 than in other regions. That is, the upper portion of the trench in which much oxygen ions are implanted grows in a thick oxide film and slightly grows in the lower portion.
상기와 같은 본 발명의 격리막 형성 방법은 불순물 영역을 형성하는 후 공정시 상부가 두꺼운 필드 산화막에 의해 수직적으로 확산하여 채널이 길어지게 된다.In the isolation film forming method of the present invention as described above, during the process of forming the impurity region, the channel is lengthened by vertical diffusion by the thick field oxide film at the top.
더불어 상기 트렌치 바닥 형태가 둥글기 때문기 측벽 반전(Side-wall Inversion) 현상을 개선하며 전기장이 감소되고, 또한 산소의 산화과정에서 발생하는 부피 증가로 인해 보이드가 없어진다.In addition, since the trench bottom shape is round, the side wall inversion is improved, the electric field is reduced, and the void is eliminated due to the volume increase generated during the oxidation of oxygen.
그리고 상기 필드 산화막이 활성 영역에 비해 높이 위치하기 때문에 험프(Hump)현상이 개선된다.In addition, since the field oxide layer is positioned higher than the active region, the hump phenomenon is improved.
본 발명의 격리막 형성 방법은 트렌치에 산소 이온을 틸트 이온 주입 시키고 필링 물질을 산화시킴으로 보이드가 없어지고, 전기장이 감소되는 효과가 있다.According to the method of forming a separator of the present invention, voids are eliminated and electric fields are reduced by injecting oxygen ions into the trenches and oxidizing the filling material.
