본 발명은 반도체 소자의 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는, 금속배선 형성시 갭필(Gap-Fill) 마진을 확보하여 매립불량으로 인한 보이드(Void) 형성을 방지할 수 있는 반도체 소자의 금속배선 형성방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to secure a gap-fill margin when forming a metal wiring, thereby preventing the formation of voids due to buried defects. It relates to a formation method.
반도체 소자의 고집적화에 따라 디자인 룰(design rule)이 작아지면서 배선 공정, 예컨데, 비트라인에 사용되는 물질로서 금속을 사용하게 되었다. 여기서, 실리콘 기판을 사용하는 반도체 소자는 금속배선 형성시 배선용 금속막으로부터의 전자 이동 및 확산에 의한 전기적 특성 저하를 방지하기 위해 배선용 금속막 아래에 베리어 금속막을 배치시키고 있다. 이러한 베리어 금속막으로서는 Ti막을 가장 많이 사용하고 있으며, 대부분의 반도체 제조사들이 Ti막을 베리어 금속막으로 채용하여 금속배선, 예컨데, 텅스텐 배선을 형성하고 있다.As the integration of semiconductor devices increases, design rules become smaller, and metals are used as materials used in wiring processes, for example, bit lines. Here, in the semiconductor device using the silicon substrate, the barrier metal film is disposed under the metal film for wiring in order to prevent the electrical property deterioration due to electron movement and diffusion from the metal film for wiring during formation of the metal wiring. As the barrier metal film, the Ti film is most frequently used, and most semiconductor manufacturers adopt the Ti film as the barrier metal film to form metal wiring, for example, tungsten wiring.
최근, 반도체 소자의 집적도와 함께 스토리지 노드(Storage Node)의 정전용량을 확보하기 위해 산화막의 높이가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 현재 금속배선의 하부층은 산화막과 질화막을 구성되어 있으며 산화막의 높이의 증가와 함께 산화막과 질화막을 건식 식각하여 금속배선을 형성하기 위한 콘택홀을 형성하는데에 그 한계가 있다. Recently, the height of the oxide layer is increasing to secure the capacitance of the storage node along with the degree of integration of semiconductor devices. Currently, the lower layer of the metal wiring includes an oxide film and a nitride film, and there is a limit in forming a contact hole for forming metal wiring by dry etching the oxide film and the nitride film with an increase in the height of the oxide film.
이러한 문제점으로 인해 베리어 금속막과 배선용 금속막을 증착하여 금속배선을 형성하는 후속의 공정에서 콘택홀 하부의 면적 확보의 한계와 함께 금속배선 증착 기술의 한계성으로 인해 콘택홀 하부에서 매립불량으로 인한 보이드가 발생하게 된다. 결국, 보이드 형성으로 인해 콘택홀의 저항 값을 증가시키고, 소자 동작에 필요한 전원을 원할하게 공급하지 못하게 되어 소자의 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. Due to this problem, in the subsequent process of depositing the barrier metal film and the wiring metal film to form the metal wiring, there is a limit of securing the area under the contact hole and the voids due to the poor filling in the contact hole under the metal wiring deposition technology. Will occur. As a result, due to the void formation, the resistance value of the contact hole is increased, and power supply required for device operation cannot be supplied smoothly, thereby degrading device performance.
따라서, 본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출된 것으로서, 금속배선 형성시 갭필 마진을 확보하여 매립불량으로 인한 보이드 형성을 방지할 수 있는 반도체 소자의 금속배선 형성방법을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a metal wiring of a semiconductor device, which is designed to solve the above problems, and to prevent void formation due to a poor filling by securing a gap fill margin when forming a metal wiring. have.
