Abstract
Description
본 발명은 반도체장치의 형성 방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 고온 스퍼터링 방식을 적용하여 구리 금속배선을 형성하는 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of forming a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method of forming a copper metal wiring by applying a high temperature sputtering method.
현재 구리를 이용한 금속 배선으로 전기 도금 증착 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 상기 전기 도금 증착 방법은 높은 종횡비를 가진 패턴을 채울 수 있는 반면에, 사용되는 첨가제로 인해 패턴 위에 과도하게 증착되는 오버플랫팅(overplating) 문제가 있다.Currently, electroplating deposition methods are widely used for metal wiring using copper. While the electroplating deposition method can fill patterns with high aspect ratios, there is a problem of overplating that is overdeposited on the pattern due to the additives used.
따라서, 이를 방지하기 위해, 미세 패턴에서의 필링(filling)을 이루는 첨가제와, 필링이 이루어지는 동안 패턴이 없는 부분에서의 증착을 억제시키는 첨가제와, 미세 패턴에서의 필링이 이루어진 후에 미세 패턴 위로 과도한 증착 (overplating)이 발생하는 것을 억제시키는 첨가제를 모두 포함한 3성분 첨가제를 사용하거나 역 펄스 플레이팅(reverse pulse plating)이 적용되고 있다.Therefore, to prevent this, additives for filling in fine patterns, additives for suppressing deposition in areas without patterns during filling, and excessive deposition over fine patterns after filling in fine patterns (Three-component additives including all additives that suppress the occurrence of overplating) or reverse pulse plating are applied.
그러나, 상기 3 성분 첨가제의 경우는 변수가 증가함에 따른 관리가 어렵고, 역 펄스 플레이팅의 경우는 결점(defect) 발생을 증가시켰다.However, in the case of the three-component additives, it is difficult to manage as the variable increases, and in the case of reverse pulse plating, defect occurrence is increased.
또한, 전기 도금으로 증착한 구리막은 결정립의 크기가 0.1㎛ 이하로 작음에 따라 상온에서도 물성이 변하는 특성을 가진다. 이때문에 화학적-기계적 연마 공정의 안정화를 위하여 전기 도금 증착 후에 열처리 공정이 반드시 수반되어야 하는 문제점이 발생되었다.In addition, the copper film deposited by electroplating has the property that the physical properties change even at room temperature as the size of the crystal grains is less than 0.1㎛. For this reason, there is a problem that the heat treatment process must be accompanied after the electroplating deposition in order to stabilize the chemical-mechanical polishing process.
이에 본 발명은 상기 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출된 것으로, 별도의 열처리 공정이 필요없으며, 화학적-기계적 연마 공정의 안정화를 가져올 수 있는 구리 배선 형성 방법을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and does not require a separate heat treatment process, and an object thereof is to provide a method for forming a copper wiring, which can bring about stabilization of a chemical-mechanical polishing process.

이하, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도 1a 내지 도 1d는 본 발명에 따른 구리 배선 형성 방법을 도시한 공정단면도이다.1A to 1D are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of forming a copper wiring according to the present invention.
본 발명에 따른 구리 배선 형성 방법은, 도 1a에 도시된 바와 같이, 먼저, 반도체기판(100) 상에 포토리쏘그라피 공정에 의해 원하고자 하는 패턴(102)을 형성한다. 이어서, 상기 패턴(102)을 포함한 기판 상에 확산방지막(110) 및 구리 씨드(seed)막(120)을 차례로 증착한다. 이때, 상기 확산방지막(110)으로는 Ta, TaN, TiN 또는 WN 중 어느 하나의 막을 이용하여 100∼1000Å두께로 증착한다.In the method for forming a copper wiring according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1A, first, a desired pattern 102 is formed on a semiconductor substrate 100 by a photolithography process. Subsequently, the diffusion barrier film 110 and the copper seed film 120 are sequentially deposited on the substrate including the pattern 102. At this time, the diffusion barrier 110 is deposited to a thickness of 100 ~ 1000Å by using any one of Ta, TaN, TiN or WN.
한다. 또한, 상기 확산방지막(110)과 구리 씨드막(120) 증착 공정은 스퍼터링(sputtering) 또는 화학기상증착(Chemical Vapor Deposition) 공정 모두 적용 가능하다. 상기 구리 씨드막(120)은 250∼2500Å 두께로 증착한다.do. In addition, the diffusion barrier 110 and the copper seed layer 120 deposition process may be applied to both sputtering or chemical vapor deposition (Chemical Vapor Deposition) process. The copper seed film 120 is deposited to a thickness of 250 ~ 2500Å.
그 다음, 도 1b에 도시된 바와 같이, 상기 구리 씨드막에 전기 도금 방법을 적용하여 상기 패턴(102)을 매립시키는 제 1구리막(121)을 증착한다.Next, as shown in FIG. 1B, a first copper film 121 for embedding the pattern 102 is deposited by applying an electroplating method to the copper seed film.
이때, 3성분 첨가제 또는 역 펄스 플레이팅의 적용이 모두 가능하나, 미세 패턴에서의 필링(filling)을 이루는 첨가제 및 필링이 이루어지는 동안 패턴이 없는 부분에서의 증착을 억제시키는 첨가제를 포함한 2성분 첨가제와 DC 플레이팅만으로도 진행이 가능하다.At this time, it is possible to apply all three-component additives or reverse pulse plating, but two-component additives including additives for filling in the fine pattern and additives for suppressing deposition in the portion without the pattern during the filling and DC plating can be used to proceed.
이 후, 도 1c에 도시된 바와 같이, 상기 제 1구리막에 고온 스퍼터링 방법을 적용하여 제 2구리막(122)을 증착한다. 이때, 제 2구리막(122)은 이 후의 화학적-기계적 연마 공정에서 필요로 하는 두께까지 증착한다.Thereafter, as illustrated in FIG. 1C, a second copper film 122 is deposited by applying a high-temperature sputtering method to the first copper film. At this time, the second copper film 122 is deposited to a thickness required in a subsequent chemical-mechanical polishing process.
또한, 상기 제 2구리막(122) 증착 공정은 일반적인 스퍼터링 장비에 존재하는 백사이드(backside) 가스 투입 기능을 이용하여 150∼400℃ 온도에서 스퍼터링을 진행한다.In addition, in the deposition process of the second copper film 122, sputtering is performed at a temperature of 150 to 400 ° C. by using a backside gas input function existing in a general sputtering equipment.
고온 스퍼터링 방법을 적용한 제 2구리막(122) 증착은 스퍼터링의 균일한 증착성에 의해 전기 도금 증착 방법의 단점인 오버플레이팅을 피하고 고온에서 증착하는 동안 평탄화가 이루어져서 이 후 진행되는 화학적-기계적 연마 공정이 수월하다.The deposition of the second copper film 122 using the high-temperature sputtering method avoids overplating, which is a disadvantage of the electroplating deposition method due to the uniform deposition property of the sputtering, and is planarized during the deposition at high temperature so that the subsequent chemical-mechanical polishing process is performed. Easy
이어서, 도 1d에 도시된 바와 같이, 상기 제 2구리막(122)에 화학적-기계적 연마 공정을 진행하여 표면을 평탄화한다.Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 1D, the second copper film 122 is subjected to a chemical-mechanical polishing process to planarize the surface.
본 발명에서는 고온에서 제 2구리막을 증착함으로써 상온에서의 "셀프-어닐(self anneal)" 효과는 감소하고 전기 도금 증착한 제 1구리막에 대한열처리 효과가 있으므로 별도의 열처리 공정이 필요없이 화학적-기계적 연마 공정을 진행할 수 있다.In the present invention, by depositing the second copper film at a high temperature, the "self anneal" effect at room temperature is reduced and there is a heat treatment effect on the electroplated first copper film. The mechanical polishing process can proceed.
이상에서와 같이, 본 발명의 방법에서는 스퍼터링 공정의 균일한 증착성에 의하여 전기 도금 증착 공정의 단점인 오버플레이팅을 피할 수 있으므로 3성분 첨가제 또는 역 펄스 플레이팅의 사용이 불필요하다.As described above, in the method of the present invention, the overdeposition which is a disadvantage of the electroplating deposition process can be avoided by the uniform deposition property of the sputtering process, so that the use of the three-component additive or the reverse pulse plating is unnecessary.
또한, 고온 스퍼터링 공정이 진행되는 동안 제 2구리막의 평탄화가 이루어짐으로써 이 후의 화학적-기계적 연마 공정이 수월하며, 별도의 열처리 공정이 불필요하다.In addition, since the planarization of the second copper film is performed during the high temperature sputtering process, the subsequent chemical-mechanical polishing process is facilitated, and a separate heat treatment process is unnecessary.
기타, 본 발명은 그 요지를 일탈하지 않는 범위에서 다양하게 변경하여 실시할 수 있다.In addition, this invention can be implemented in various changes within the range which does not deviate from the summary.
