Description

반도체소자의 소자분리막 형성방법{Forming method for isolation of semiconductor device}Forming method for isolation of semiconductor device

본 발명은 반도체소자의 소자분리막 형성방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 트렌치를 형성하는 공정 중 소자분리영역과 활성영역의 경계면에 턱짐 ( moat ) 이 형성되는현상을 방지하여 소자의 전기적 특성을 향상시키는 기술에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of forming a device isolation film of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a technique for improving the electrical characteristics of a device by preventing a phenomenon in which a moat is formed on the interface between the device isolation region and the active region during a trench formation process. It is about.

고집적화라는 관점에서 소자의 집적도를 높이기 위해서는 각각의 소자 디맨젼 ( dimension ) 을 축소하는 것과, 소자간에 존재하는 분리영역 ( isolation region ) 의 폭과 면적을 축소하는 것이 필요하며, 이 축소정도가 셀의 크기를 좌우한다는 점에서 소자분리기술이 메모리 셀 사이즈 ( memory cell size ) 를 결정하는 기술이라고 할 수 있다.In order to increase the integration of devices from the viewpoint of high integration, it is necessary to reduce each device dimension and to reduce the width and area of isolation regions existing between devices. Device isolation technology determines the memory cell size in terms of size.

소자분리절연막을 제조하는 종래기술로는 절연물 분리방식의 로코스 ( LOCOS : LOCal Oxidation of Silicon, 이하에서 LOCOS 라 함 ) 방법, 실리콘기판상부에 산화막, 다결정실리콘층, 질화막 순으로 적층한 구조의 피.비.엘. ( Poly - Buffed LOCOS, 이하에서 PBL 이라 함 ) 방법, 기판에 홈을 형성한 후에 절연물질로 매립하는 트렌치 ( trench ) 방법 등이 있다.Conventional methods for manufacturing device isolation insulating films include LOCOS (LOCOS: LOCOS) method, and an oxide film, a polysilicon layer, and a nitride film stacked on the silicon substrate in this order. B.L. (Poly-Buffed LOCOS, hereinafter referred to as PBL) method, a trench method of embedding an insulating material after forming a groove in the substrate, and the like.

그러나, 상기 LOCOS 방법으로 소자분리산화막을 미세화할 때 공정상 또는 전기적인 문제가 발생한다. 그 중의 하나는, 소자분리절연막만으로는 전기적으로 소자를 완전히 분리할 수 없다는 것이다.However, a process or electrical problem occurs when the device isolation oxide film is miniaturized by the LOCOS method. One of them is that the device isolation insulating film alone cannot completely separate the devices.

그리고, 상기 PBL 을 사용하는 경우, 필드산화시에 산소의 측면확산에 의하여 버즈빅이 발생한다. 즉, 활성영역이 작아져 활성영역을 효과적으로 활용하지 못하며, 필드산화막의 두께가 두껍기 때문에 단차가 형성되어 후속공정에 어려움을 준다. 그리고, 기판상부의 다결정실리콘층으로 인하여 필드산화시 기판내부로 형성되는 소자분리절연막이 타기법에 비하여 상대적으로 작기 때문에 타기법에 비해 신뢰성을 약화시킬 수 있다.In the case of using the above-mentioned PBL, buzz big is generated by side diffusion of oxygen during field oxidation. In other words, the active area is small, so that the active area is not effectively utilized, and because the thickness of the field oxide film is thick, a step is formed, which causes difficulty in subsequent processes. Further, due to the polysilicon layer on the substrate, the device isolation insulating film formed inside the substrate during field oxidation is relatively smaller than that of the hitting method, thereby reducing the reliability of the hitting method.

이상에서 설명한 LOCOS 방법과 PBL 방법은 반도체기판 상부로 볼록한 소자분리절연막을 형성하여 단차를 갖게 됨으로써 후속공정을 어렵게 하는 단점이 있다.The LOCOS method and the PBL method described above have a disadvantage in that a subsequent step is made difficult by forming a convex element isolation insulating film on the semiconductor substrate and having a step.

이러한 단점을 해결하기 위하여, 반도체기판을 식각하여 트렌치를 형성하고 상기 트렌치를 매립한 다음, CMP 방법을 이용하여 상부면을 평탄화시키고 후속공정을 평탄화시킴으로써 후속공정을 용이하게 실시할 수 있도록 하였다.In order to solve this disadvantage, the semiconductor substrate is etched to form a trench, and the trench is buried, and then the CMP method is used to planarize the top surface and to planarize the subsequent process so that the subsequent process can be easily performed.

도시되지 않았으나, 종래기술에 따른 반도체소자의 소자분리막 형성방법을 설명하면 다음과 같다.Although not shown, a method of forming a device isolation film of a semiconductor device according to the prior art is as follows.

먼저, 반도체기판 상부에 패드산화막을 형성하고, 상기 패드산화막 상부에 질화막을 형성한다.First, a pad oxide film is formed over the semiconductor substrate, and a nitride film is formed over the pad oxide film.

그리고, 소자분리마스크를 이용한 식각공정으로 상기 질화막과 패드산화막 및 일정두께의 반도체기판을 식각하여 상기 반도체기판에 트렌치를 형성한다.In addition, a trench is formed in the semiconductor substrate by etching the nitride layer, the pad oxide layer, and the semiconductor substrate having a predetermined thickness by an etching process using an element isolation mask.

그 다음에, 상기 트렌치를 매립하는 산화막을 형성하고, 상기 산화막을 화학기계연마 ( chemical mechanical polishing, 이하에서 CMP 라 함 ) 하여 상부면을 평탄하게 형성한다.Next, an oxide film filling the trench is formed, and the oxide film is chemical mechanical polishing (hereinafter referred to as CMP) to form an upper surface flat.

그리고, 상기 질화막을 제거한다. 이때, 상기 질화막은 인산용액을 이용한 습식방법으로 제거한다.Then, the nitride film is removed. At this time, the nitride film is removed by a wet method using a phosphate solution.

그 다음에, 상기 패드산화막을 습식방법으로 제거하고, 상기 패드산화막이 제거된 반도체기판 상부에 게이트산화막을 형성하기 위하여 습식방법으로 세정공정을 실시한다.Next, the pad oxide film is removed by a wet method, and a cleaning process is performed by a wet method to form a gate oxide film on the semiconductor substrate from which the pad oxide film has been removed.

이때, 상기 트렌치를 매립하는 산화막과 반도체기판의 경계부, 다시말하면소자분리영역과 활성영역의 경계부에 위치한 상기 산화막이 상기 트렌치 안쪽으로 식각되는 턱짐 ( moat ) 이 발생하여 후속공정을 어렵게 할뿐만 아니라 반도체기판의 누설전류를 유발시킨다.At this time, the oxide layer filling the trench and the semiconductor substrate, that is, the oxide film located at the boundary between the device isolation region and the active region is etched into the trench, thereby making the subsequent process difficult. Cause leakage current of substrate.

최근에는 이러한 전기적 특성 열화를 방지하기 위하여 트렌치 형성후 소자분리영역과 활성영역의 경계부에 문턱전압 조절용 불순물을 임플란트하였다.Recently, in order to prevent such deterioration of electrical characteristics, an impurity for adjusting the threshold voltage is implanted at the boundary between the isolation region and the active region after trench formation.

그러나, 상기 임플란트 공정시 상기 트렌치 표면, 즉 측벽에 결함이 유발되고 후속 열처리공정시 상기 결함이 내부로 확산되어 소자의 특성 열화를 가속화하는 문제점이 있다.However, there is a problem in that defects are caused on the trench surface, that is, sidewalls during the implant process, and the defects are diffused inside during the subsequent heat treatment process, thereby accelerating deterioration of device characteristics.

본 발명은 상기한 종래기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 소자분리막과 반도체기판의 경계부에 턱짐 현상이 유발되지 않도록 하여 전계집중에 의한 접합 누설전류를 감소시킬 수 있도록 하는 반도체소자의 소자분리막 형성방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention provides a method of forming a device isolation film of a semiconductor device to reduce the junction leakage current due to electric field concentration so as not to cause a buckling phenomenon at the boundary between the device isolation film and the semiconductor substrate in order to solve the above problems of the prior art. The purpose is to provide.

상기 제2산화막(13)은 300 ∼ 3000 Å 정도의 두께로 형성한다.The second oxide film 13 is formed to a thickness of about 300 to 3000 GPa.

그 다음, 소자분리마스크(도시안됨)를 이용한 사진식각공정으로 상기 제2질화막(19) 및 제2산화막(17)을 식각하여 활성영역을 정의하는 소자분리영역을 정의한다.Next, the second isolation layer 19 and the second oxide layer 17 are etched by a photolithography process using a device isolation mask (not shown) to define a device isolation region that defines an active region.

도 1b를 참조하면, 상기 제2질화막(19)과 제2산화막(17) 측벽에 산화막 스페이서(21)를 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1B, an oxide spacer 21 is formed on sidewalls of the second nitride layer 19 and the second oxide layer 17.

이때, 상기 산화막 스페이서(21)는 전체표면상부에 산화막을 50 ∼ 500 Å 두께로 형성하고, 이를 이방성식각하여 형성한다.At this time, the oxide film spacer 21 is formed on the entire surface of the oxide film with a thickness of 50 to 500 Å, and is formed by anisotropic etching.

도 1c를 참조하면, 상기 제2질화막(19) 및 산화막 스페이서(21)를 마스크로 하여 상기 제1질화막(15), 제1산화막(13) 및 일정두께의 반도체기판(11)을 순차적으로 식각하여 소자분리영역에 트렌치(23)를 형성한다. 여기서, 상기 트렌치(23)는 1000 ∼ 5000 Å 깊이로 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1C, the first nitride film 15, the first oxide film 13, and the semiconductor substrate 11 having a predetermined thickness are sequentially etched using the second nitride film 19 and the oxide spacer 21 as a mask.
