쌍상감법을 이용한 반도체 메모리 소자의 패턴 형성 방법{Method for forming pattern of semiconductor memory device by using dual damascene}Method for forming pattern of semiconductor memory device by using dual damascene}

본 발명은 반도체 메모리 소자 제조 분야에 관한 것으로, 쌍상감(dual damascene) 방법을 이용한 반도체 소자의 패턴 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor memory device manufacturing, and more particularly, to a pattern formation method of a semiconductor device using a dual damascene method.

Cu 등을 이용한 반도체 소자의 금속배선 형성 과정에서는 상감 공정이 이용되고 있는데, 공정의 순서에 따라 트렌치 우선 공정(trench first), 비아 우선(via first) 공정 또는 자기정렬(self align) 쌍상감 공정(dual damascene) 등으로 나누어진다. 개발 초기에는 전술한 세 가지 방법이 모두 거론되었으나, 소자의 집적도 증가에 따른 포토리소그래피 공정의 한계, 오정렬 문제에 따른 비아 폭의 문제 등에 따라 근래에는 비아 우선 쌍상감 공정(via first dual damascene)이 주류를 이루고 있다.A damascene process is used to form metallization of a semiconductor device using Cu or the like. Depending on the order of the process, a trench first process, a via first process, or a self-aligned pairwise process ( dual damascene). In the early stages of development, all three methods mentioned above have been discussed, but via first dual damascene has become the mainstream in recent years due to the limitation of photolithography process due to the increase in device density and the problem of via width due to misalignment problem. To achieve.

첨부 도면 도1a 내지 도1e를 참조하여 비아 우선 쌍상감 공정 방법을 설명한다.Referring to the accompanying drawings, FIGS. 1A-1E, a via-first pair-delay process method will be described.

도1a는 반도체 기판(10) 상부에 형성된 Cu 등의 금속막 패턴(11)을 덮는 금속막 보호용 절연막(12)을 형성하고, 그 상부에 제1 저유전막(13), 제1 식각장벽막(14), 제2 저유전막(15) 및 제2 식각장벽막(16)을 적층하고 제2 식각장벽막(16) 상에 비아 마스크로 이용되는 포토레지스트 패턴(PR1)을 형성한 상태를 보이고 있다. 상기 금속막 보호용 절연막(12)은 SiN으로 형성하고, 상기 제2 식각장벽막(14) 및 제2 식각장벽막(16)은 SiO2, SiC, SiN 등으로 형성한다.FIG. 1A shows a metal film protective insulating film 12 covering a metal film pattern 11 such as Cu formed on an upper portion of a semiconductor substrate 10, and a first low dielectric film 13 and a first etch barrier film (top) formed thereon. 14), the second low dielectric film 15 and the second etch barrier film 16 are stacked and the photoresist pattern PR1 used as a via mask is formed on the second etch barrier film 16. . The metal film protective insulating layer 12 is formed of SiN, and the second etching barrier film 14 and the second etching barrier film 16 are formed of SiO 2 , SiC, SiN, or the like.

도1b는 비아 마스크인 포토레지스트(PR1)로 덮이지 않은 제2 식각장벽막(16), 제2 저유전막(15), 제1 식각장벽막(14) 및 제1 저유전막(13)을 식각하여 그 바닥에 금속막 보호용 절연막(12)을 노출시키는 비아를 형성한 상태를 보이고 있다.FIG. 1B shows the etching of the second etching barrier film 16, the second low dielectric film 15, the first etching barrier film 14, and the first low dielectric film 13 not covered with the photoresist PR1, which is a via mask. As shown in the figure, a via is formed in the bottom thereof to expose the metal film protective insulating film 12.

도1c는 비아 마스크로 이용된 포토레지스트 패턴(PR1)을 제거하고 제2 식각장벽막(16) 상에 트렌치 마스크로 이용될 포토레지스트 패턴(PR2)을 형성하고, 식각방지를 위해 비아 내부에 제1 식각장벽막(14) 높이까지 포토레지스트(PR3)를 채운 상태를 보이고 있다.FIG. 1C illustrates that the photoresist pattern PR1 used as the via mask is removed, and the photoresist pattern PR2 to be used as the trench mask is formed on the second etching barrier layer 16. 1 shows a state where the photoresist PR3 is filled up to the height of the etching barrier film 14.

도1d는 제2 식각장벽막(16), 제2 저유전막(15)을 선택적으로 식각하여 제1 식각장벽막(14) 상부면의 일부를 노출시키는 트렌치를 형성한 상태를 보이고 있다. 이와 같이 비아를 먼저 형성시키는 방법을 통상적으로 비아 우선 쌍상감 공정이라고 칭하고 있다.FIG. 1D shows a state in which a trench is formed to selectively expose a portion of the upper surface of the first etching barrier layer 14 by selectively etching the second etching barrier layer 16 and the second low dielectric layer 15. As described above, the method of forming the via first is generally referred to as a via-first twinning process.

도1e는 트렌치 마스크로 이용된 포토레지스트 패턴(PR2) 및 비아 내부의 포토레지스트(PR3)를 제거하고 보호용 절연막(12) 제거를 위한 식각 공정을 실시하여 금속막 패턴(11)을 노출시킨 상태를 보이고 있다. 전술한 종래 기술은 보호용 절연막(12) 제거과정에서 식각장벽막(16, 14)의 손실이 발생하고 노출된 저유전막(13, 15)이 손상되는 문제가 발생한다.FIG. 1E illustrates a state in which the metal film pattern 11 is exposed by removing the photoresist pattern PR2 and the photoresist PR3 inside the via and using an etching process to remove the protective insulating layer 12. It is showing. In the above-described prior art, the loss of the etch barrier films 16 and 14 occurs in the process of removing the protective insulating film 12 and the exposed low dielectric films 13 and 15 are damaged.

한편, 종래 상기 금속막 패턴(11)은 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 Al에 비하여 비저항이 작은 Cu로 형성하며, 배선간의 캐패시턴스를 감소시키고자 층간절연막으로 저유전막을 사용하고 있다.On the other hand, the metal film pattern 11 is conventionally formed of Cu having a lower specific resistance than Al in order to improve performance, and a low dielectric film is used as the interlayer insulating film to reduce the capacitance between wirings.

이와 같은 저유전 절연막의 도입에 따라 쌍상감 공정에서 여러가지 문제점이 대두되고 있으나, 가장 근원적인 문제는 모든 저유전막이 가지는 내산화성의 문제이다. 즉, 포토리소그래피 및 식각 공정을 진행하여 쌍상감 구조를 형성할 때 포토레지스트의 형성, 식각공정 후 산소 플라즈마를 이용한 포토레지스트 제거, 트렌치형성 후의 세정 공정 등이 수반되는데, 이와 같은 과정에서 산소에 의해 저유전막이 손상되는 문제점이 있다.With the introduction of such a low dielectric insulating film, various problems have arisen in the dual phase damaging process, but the most fundamental problem is the oxidation resistance problem of all low dielectric films. That is, photolithography and etching processes are performed to form a pair-like structure, followed by formation of photoresist, removal of photoresist using oxygen plasma after etching process, and cleaning process after trench formation. There is a problem that the low-k dielectric is damaged.

상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 본 발명은 비아 및 트렌치로 이루어지는 쌍상감 구조 형성 과정에서 저유전막이 손상되는 것을 효과적으로 방지하고, 포토레지스트 형성 및 제거 과정에서 저유전막이 산소에 노출되는 것을 효과적으로 방지할 수 있는 쌍상감법을 이용한 반도체 소자의 패턴 형성 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention to solve the above problems effectively prevent damage to the low-k dielectric in the process of forming a pair-symmetric structure consisting of vias and trenches, and effectively prevent the low-k dielectric exposed to oxygen during the photoresist formation and removal process SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a pattern of a semiconductor device using a dual image reduction method.

In this etching process, the oxide layer 27 covered with the photoresist PR3 is not removed and remains on the sidewalls of the first etching barrier layer 24 and the first low dielectric layer 23 in the form of a spacer 27A.

다음으로 도2f에 도시한 바와 같이 보호용 절연막(22) 제거를 위한 식각 공정을 실시하여 금속막 패턴(21)을 노출시킨다.Next, as illustrated in FIG. 2F, an etching process for removing the protective insulating film 22 is performed to expose the metal film pattern 21.

이후 비아 및 트렌치 내부에 전도막을 채워 금속막 패턴(21)과 연결시킨다.Thereafter, a conductive film is filled in the via and the trench to be connected to the metal layer pattern 21.

이상에서 설명한 본 발명은 전술한 실시예 및 첨부된 도면에 의해 한정되는 것이 아니고, 본 발명의 기술적 사상을 벗어나지 않는 범위 내에서 여러 가지 치환, 변형 및 변경이 가능하다는 것이 본 발명이 속하는 기술분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자에게 있어 명백할 것이다.The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes can be made in the art without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be apparent to those of ordinary knowledge.

상기와 같이 이루어지는 본 발명은 저유전막을 이용한 쌍상감 구조 형성에 있어서 포토레지스트 패턴 형성 및 제거, 세정 등의 공정에 저유전막이 산소에 노출되는 것을 억제할 수 있다 또한, 금속막 상의 보호절연막을 제거하는 과정에서 식각장벽막 및 저유전막 측벽에 잔류하는 산화막은 저유전막이 손상되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.The present invention as described above can suppress the exposure of the low dielectric film to oxygen in the process of forming, removing, and cleaning the photoresist pattern in forming the dual phase structure using the low dielectric film. Also, the protective insulating film on the metal film is removed. The oxide film remaining on the etch barrier film and the low dielectric film sidewalls may prevent the low dielectric film from being damaged.
