Abstract
Description
본 발명은 반도체 소자의 티타늄 나이트라이드막 형성 방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 ALD법을 이용한 TiN막 형성 시 박막 성장률을 향상시킬 수 있는 반도체 소자의 티타늄 나이트라이드막 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of forming a titanium nitride film of a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a method of forming a titanium nitride film of a semiconductor device capable of improving a thin film growth rate when forming a TiN film using the ALD method.
기존의 TiCl4를 소오스로 하는 CVD TiN막의 경우, 계단 도포성이 상당히 우수한 것으로 알려져 있으나 종횡비(Aspect Ratio)가 상당히 커질 경우(AR > 20), 홀(Hole) 내부와 표면에 공급되는 플럭스(Flux)의 차이로 인하여 만족할 만한 계단 도포성을 얻을 수 없게 된다. 이러한 기존 CVD법의 단점을 보완하기 위해서는 완전한 표면 반응에 의해서만 박막이 형성되고, 원자층 단위로 박막형성 제어가 가능한 원자층 증착 방법이 최적이라 할 수 있다. 하지만, 원자층 증착(ALD)법에 의한 박막 형성은 사용하는 소오스에 따라 소오스 자체의 분자부피로 인하여, 이론적인 1 싸이클(Cycle) 당 한 개의 단원자층 형성이 불가능하고, 박막 성장률 또한 기존의 CVD법에 비교할 수 없이 낮다. 현재, 원자층 증착장비로 TiCl4소오스를 사용하여 TiN막 형성시, 박막 성장률이 ~0.3Å/cycle(1 cycle time = 0.1 내지 1.5sec)로 기존 TiCl4를 소오스로 하는 CVD TiN의 7Å/sec 내지 10Å/sec에 비해 매우 낮은 성장률을 가지고 있어 실제 반도체 공정 적용시 공정 진행률(Throughput)의 문제로 실제 공정적용에 어려움이 있다.In the case of the conventional CVD TiN film using TiCl 4 as a source, it is known that the step coating property is excellent, but when the aspect ratio is significantly increased (AR> 20), the flux supplied to the inside and the surface of the hole is changed. Due to the difference of), satisfactory step coatability cannot be obtained. In order to make up for the disadvantages of the conventional CVD method, the thin film is formed only by the complete surface reaction, and the atomic layer deposition method capable of controlling the thin film formation on an atomic layer basis is optimal. However, the thin film formation by atomic layer deposition (ALD) method is impossible to form a monoatomic layer per one cycle due to the molecular volume of the source itself depending on the source used, and the thin film growth rate is also lower than that of conventional CVD. It is incomparably low in law. Currently, when the TiN film is formed using TiCl 4 source as an atomic layer deposition equipment, the film growth rate is ~ 0.3kW / cycle (1 cycle time = 0.1 to 1.5sec), and 7kW / sec of CVD TiN using TiCl 4 as the source. It has a very low growth rate compared to the 10 ~ / 10 s / sec is difficult to apply the actual process due to the problem of the process (Throughput) when applying the actual semiconductor process.
따라서, 본 발명은 ALD법을 이용한 TiN막 형성 공정에서 H2가스를 이용하여 TiCl4에 존재하는 Cl기의 일부를 탈착시키고 TiCl4소오스의 부피를 줄여 기판 표면에 흡착되는 TiClx(x=1 내지 4)의 양을 증가시키므로써 박막 성장률을 증가시킬 수있는 반도체 소자의 티타늄 나이트라이드막 형성 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.Therefore, in the TiN film formation process using the ALD method, TiCl x (x = 1) is adsorbed onto the substrate surface by desorbing a part of the Cl group present in TiCl 4 using H 2 gas and reducing the volume of the TiCl 4 source. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for forming a titanium nitride film of a semiconductor device which can increase the growth rate of the thin film by increasing the amount of 4 to 4).
