Description
본 발명은 반도체 소자의 금속배선 및 그 형성방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 배리어 금속막이 적용된 반도체 소자의 금속배선 및 그 형성방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to metal wiring of semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same, and more particularly to metal wiring of semiconductor devices to which a barrier metal film is applied and methods of forming the same.
반도체 소자 제조시, 소자간이나 소자와 외부회로 사이를 전기적으로 연결시키기 위하여 배선을 형성하며, 특히 낮은 저항이 요구되는 부분에는 알루미늄, 텅스텐 및 구리 등의 금속을 주 배선물질로 이용하는 금속배선을 형성한다. 또한, 금속배선의 형성 시에서는, 주 배선 물질 이외에도 배선 이외의 영역인 실리콘 활성영역이나 절연막 등으로 금속 원자들이 확산침투하는 것을 방지하기 위하여, 금속배선과 절연막 또는 활성영역 사이에 티타늄막/티타늄질화막(Ti/TiN)의 배리어(barrier) 금속막을 형성한다.In the manufacture of semiconductor devices, wirings are formed to electrically connect between devices or between devices and external circuits.In particular, metal wirings using metals such as aluminum, tungsten, and copper as main wiring materials are formed in areas where low resistance is required. do. In the formation of the metal wiring, a titanium film / titanium nitride film is formed between the metal wiring and the insulating film or the active region in order to prevent diffusion of metal atoms into the silicon active region, the insulating film, or the like other than the main wiring material. A barrier metal film of (Ti / TiN) is formed.
도 1은 상기 배리어 금속막이 적용된 종래의 반도체 소자의 배선을 나타낸 단면도로서, 도 1을 참조하여 그 형성방법을 간략하게 설명한다.FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a wiring of a conventional semiconductor device to which the barrier metal film is applied, and a method of forming the same will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 1.
도 1을 참조하면, 반도체 기판(10) 상에 층간절연막(11)을 형성하고, 기판(10)의 일부가 노출되도록 층간절연막(11)을 식각하여 콘택홀을 형성한다. 그 다음, 콘택홀 표면 및 층간절연막(11) 상에 배리어 금속막으로서 Ti막(12) 및 TiN막(13)을 적층한다. 그 후, 배리어 금속막이 형성된 콘택홀에 매립되도록 기판 전면 상에 플러그용 금속막으로서 텅스텐막을 증착하고 TiN막(13)의 표면이 노출되도록 전면 식각하여 플러그(14)를 형성한다. 그 다음, 기판 전면 상에 배선용 금속막으로서 알루미늄막(15)을 증착하고, Cl2 개스를 이용하여 알루미늄막(15), TiN막(13), 및 Ti막(12)을 식각하여 금속배선을 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1, an interlayer insulating layer 11 is formed on a semiconductor substrate 10, and a contact hole is formed by etching the interlayer insulating layer 11 to expose a portion of the substrate 10. Then, a Ti film 12 and a TiN film 13 are laminated as a barrier metal film on the contact hole surface and the interlayer insulating film 11. Thereafter, a tungsten film is deposited as a plug metal film on the entire surface of the substrate so as to be filled in the contact hole in which the barrier metal film is formed, and the plug 14 is formed by etching the entire surface so that the surface of the TiN film 13 is exposed. Then, an aluminum film 15 is deposited as the metal film for wiring on the entire surface of the substrate, and the metal film is formed by etching the aluminum film 15, the TiN film 13, and the Ti film 12 using Cl2 gas. do.
그러나, Cl2 개스를 이용한 식각시, 알루미늄막(15)의 높은 식각속도에 의해 알루미늄막(15)은 빨리 식각되는 반면, TiN/Ti막의 상대적으로 느린 식각속도에 의해, 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 식각 종료 후에도 Ti막(12)이 잔류하여, 인접 배선과의 브리지를 유발하는 원인으로 작용한다. 또한, 이러한 Ti막(12)을 완전히 제거하기 위하여 과도식각(over etch)을 충분하게 수행하게 되면, 브리지 현상을 방지할 수는 있으나 알루미늄막(15)의 손상을 야기시켜, 결국 배선의 신뢰성을 저하시킨다.However, when etching with Cl2 gas, the aluminum film 15 is quickly etched by the high etching speed of the aluminum film 15, while the relatively slow etching speed of the TiN / Ti film is, as shown in FIG. After the etching is finished, the Ti film 12 remains, which acts as a cause of causing a bridge with the adjacent wiring. In addition, if the over etching is sufficiently performed to completely remove the Ti film 12, the bridge phenomenon may be prevented, but the aluminum film 15 may be damaged, resulting in reliability of the wiring. Lowers.
본 발명은 상기와 같은 종래기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 제안된 것으로, 배리어 금속막에 티타늄실리사이드(TiSix)막을 적용하여 배선형성을 위한 식각시 배리어 금속막의 잔류로 인한 브리지 현상 및 배선 손상 등을 방지할 수 있는 반도체 소자의 금속배선 및 그 제조방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention is proposed to solve the above problems of the prior art, by applying a titanium silicide (TiSix) film to the barrier metal film to prevent bridge phenomenon and wiring damage due to the residual of the barrier metal film during etching for wiring formation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a metal wiring of a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same.
