Description
본 발명은 반도체소자의 제조공정에 관한 것으로, 자세하게는 하지막(base material) 의존성을 이용하여 증착속도를 선택적으로 조절하여 쉘로우트렌치분리(Salllow Trench Isolation; 이하 'STI'라 함)공정의 산화막 매립(Gap-Filling)과정을 향상시킴으로써, 트랜지스터의 전기적특성을 향상시킬 수 있는, 하지막 의존성을 이용한 쉘로우트렌치분리 형성방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to deposit an oxide film in a shallow trench isolation (STI) process by selectively controlling a deposition rate using a base material dependency. The present invention relates to a method of forming a shallow trench isolation using the underlying film dependency, by improving the (Gap-Filling) process.
STI공정은 종래의 필드산화막(Field Oxide ; Fox) 대신 미소폭의트렌치(Shallow Trench)에 의해 분리막을 형성하는 공정이다. 이러한 STI 공정을 간단히 언급하면, 먼저 실리콘기판 상부에 산화막이나 질화막을 증착하고 여기에 우물형태와 비슷한 쉘로우트렌치를 형성한다. 이후 트렌치매립 산화막으로 트렌치를 매립한 후, 화학기계적연마(CMP)등의 후처리 공정으로 그 상부를 평탄화시키므로써 분리공정을 완성한다.The STI process is a process of forming a separator by a shallow trench instead of a conventional field oxide (FOX). Briefly referring to this STI process, an oxide film or nitride film is first deposited on a silicon substrate, and a shallow trench similar to a well type is formed thereon. Thereafter, the trench is filled with a trench buried oxide film, and then the upper part is planarized by a post-treatment process such as chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to complete the separation process.
그러나, 전술한 종래 기술에서 쉘로우트렌치 매립용 산화막으로 상압화학기상증착(이하 'APCVD'라 함) O3/TEOS USG(Terra Ethyle Ortho Silicate Undoped Silicate Glass)를 사용할 경우, APCVD O3/TEOS USG의 하지막 의존성으로 인해 보이드(void)나 이음새(seam) 등이 발생하는 문제가 있다. 이러한 보이드나 이음새는 후속공정시 막(film)에 틈이나 결함 등을 야기시킴으로써 소자의 특성에 치명적인 영향을 주는 문제점이 있다.However, in the above-described conventional technique, when atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (hereinafter referred to as 'APCVD') O 3 / TEOS USG (Terra Ethyle Ortho Silicate Undoped Silicate Glass) is used as the oxide film for shallow trench embedding, APCVD O 3 / TEOS USG There is a problem that voids or seams occur due to the underlying film dependence. Such voids or seams have a problem that causes a fatal effect on the characteristics of the device by causing gaps or defects in the film during the subsequent process.
따라서 전술한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 본 발명의 목적은, APCVD O3/TEOS USG의 하지막 의존성을 이용하여 트렌치에 산화막을 매립할 시 트렌치의 밑부분을 옆면에 비해 빠르게 증착시키도록 제작함으로써, 보이드 등의 발생을 예방함으로써 트랜지스터의 전기적특성을 향상시키기 위한, 하지막 의존성을 이용한 쉘로우트렌치분리 형성방법을 제공하는 데 있다.Therefore, an object of the present invention to solve the above problems, by using the underlying film dependency of APCVD O 3 / TEOS USG by making the bottom of the trench to be deposited faster than the side when buried in the trench, voids The present invention provides a method of forming a shallow trench isolation by using the underlying film dependency to improve the electrical characteristics of a transistor by preventing the occurrence of such a material.

도 1 내지 도 3는 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 쉘로우트렌치분리 형성방법을 설명하기 공정도이다.1 to 3 is a process chart illustrating a method of forming a shallow trench separation according to an embodiment of the present invention.
APCVD O3/TEOS USG는 하지막(base material) 의존성이 있어서 하지막에 따라 막(film)의 증착속도 등이 다르게 나타난다. 즉 하지막이 실리콘기판인 경우와 열산화막(Thermal Oxide)인 경우에, 같은 조건으로 APCVD O3/TEOS USG를 증착한 후 비교하면, 하지막이 실리콘기판인 경우가 막의 증착율이 빠르고 막의 농도도 높다. 일예로, 오존농도가 5%인 O3/TEOS USG의 증착속도는, 하지막이 실리콘기판인 경우 1300Å/min인 반면, 하지막이 열산화막인 경우는 600Å/min으로 2배 이상 증착속도 차이가 난다. 이러한 차이는 하지막의 특성에 기인하는 데, 실리콘기판의 경우는 소수성적 특성을 나타내고 열산화막은 친수성적 특성을 나타내기 때문이다. 오존(O3)과 반응하여 USG를 만드는 TEOS의 경우 화학구조상 소수성적 특성을 가지고있다. 따라서, 친수성적 특성을 가지는 열산화막위에서 TEOS의 증착반응이 어려우며, 따라서 증착속도 및 막의 농도가 떨어진다.Since APCVD O 3 / TEOS USG has a base material dependency, the deposition rate of a film varies depending on the base film. In other words, when the base film is a silicon substrate and a thermal oxide film, when the APCVD O 3 / TEOS USG is deposited under the same conditions, the deposition rate of the film is fast and the film concentration is high. For example, the deposition rate of O 3 / TEOS USG with an ozone concentration of 5% is 1300 mW / min when the underlying film is a silicon substrate, while the deposition rate is more than twice that when the underlying film is a thermal oxide film at 600 mW / min. . This difference is due to the properties of the underlying film, since the silicon substrate exhibits hydrophobic properties and the thermal oxide film exhibits hydrophilic properties. TEOS, which reacts with ozone (O 3 ) to produce USG, has a hydrophobic character due to its chemical structure. Therefore, it is difficult to deposit TEOS on the thermal oxide film having hydrophilic properties, and thus the deposition rate and the film concentration are reduced.
도 1에 도시한 바와 같이, 본 실시예의 공정은 먼저 실리콘기판(10)상부에 질화막(12)을 형성한다. 이 질화막은 향후 공정시 각 층의 분리 등을 원할히 하기 위해 형성시키는 것이다. 이 후 패턴 및 식각공정을 통하여 트렌치(14)를 형성한다. 이 후 트렌치에 장벽산화막을 약 200∼300Å의 두께로, 평면산화막을 약 100Å의 두께로 증착시켜 트렌치산화막(16)을 형성한다.As shown in FIG. 1, the process of this embodiment first forms a nitride film 12 on the silicon substrate 10. FIG. This nitride film is formed to facilitate separation of each layer in a future process. Thereafter, the trench 14 is formed through a pattern and an etching process. Thereafter, the trench oxide film 16 is formed by depositing a barrier oxide film in the trench at a thickness of about 200 to 300 占 퐉 and a planar oxide film at a thickness of about 100 占 Å.
이 후 도 2와 같이 트렌치(14)의 벽쪽에 스페이서와 같은 형태로 열산화막(18)이 남고 트렌치 바닥의 실리콘기판(10)이 나타나도록, 블랭킷 식각공정을 실시한다.After that, as shown in FIG. 2, a blanket etching process is performed such that the thermal oxide film 18 remains on the wall side of the trench 14 and the silicon substrate 10 at the bottom of the trench appears.
이 후 도 3과 같이, 4∼7%의 고농도 오존(O3)으로 APCVD방식에 따라 O3/TEOS USG를 증착하여 트렌치매립층(20)을 형성한다. 이 공정은 약 400∼530℃의 증착온도범위에서, 상기 트렌치(14)가 충분히 매립되도록 약 6000-10000Å두께로 매립한다.Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3, the trench buried layer 20 is formed by depositing O 3 / TEOS USG with high concentration ozone (O 3 ) of 4 to 7% according to the APCVD method. In this process, the trench 14 is buried to a thickness of about 6000-10000 mm so that the trench 14 is sufficiently buried in a deposition temperature range of about 400 to 530 ° C.
이러한 증착공정에서 오존(O3)의 농도가 높을수록 O3/TEOS USG의 하지막 의존성이 높아진다. 본 발명은 전술한 바와 같이 이러한 하지막 의존성에 따라 트렌치의 바닥과 벽면의 증착속도가 차이가 나는 것을 이용하는 특징이 있다. 즉 트렌치(14) 매립시 증착공정은 트렌치(14)의 바닥쪽이 벽면보다 빠르게 진행되므로, 종래와 같은 보이드나 이음새(seam) 등의 발생을 방지할 수 있다. 뿐만아니라,후속 CMP 공정시 쉘로우트렌치에 보이드나 이음새(seam) 등에 의해 야기되는 피트(pit)등을 예방하기 때문에, 폴리실리콘층의 에칭시 발생될 결함을 방지할 수 있다.In this deposition process, the higher the concentration of ozone (O 3 ), the higher the underlying film dependency of O 3 / TEOS USG. The present invention is characterized in that the deposition rate of the bottom and the wall of the trench is different according to the underlying film dependency as described above. In other words, when the trench 14 is buried, the bottom side of the trench 14 proceeds faster than the wall surface, and thus, generation of voids or seams, etc. can be prevented. In addition, since a pit or the like caused by voids or seams is prevented in the shallow trench during the subsequent CMP process, defects to be generated during etching of the polysilicon layer can be prevented.
전술한 바와 같이, 본 발명은 하지막의 특성에 따른 증착속도 사이를 이용하도록 상압CVD방식으로 O3/TEOS USG를 사용하여 트렌치를 매립함으로써, STI가 적용되는 반도체소자의 특성을 향상시키고 고집적화를 실현하는 효과가 있다.As described above, the present invention improves the characteristics and high integration of semiconductor devices to which STI is applied by filling trenches using O 3 / TEOS USG by atmospheric CVD to use the deposition rate according to the characteristics of the underlying film. It is effective.
