본 발명은 반도체 제조 기술에 관한 것으로, 특히 텅스텐 산화에 자유로운 게이트 패턴을 갖는 반도체 소자 제조 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to semiconductor manufacturing techniques, and more particularly to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a gate pattern free from tungsten oxidation.
디바이스가 고집적화 됨에 따라 도전층 패턴의 어려움도 있지만, 게이트 저항 문제도 발생한다. 그래서, 과거 폴리실리콘 만을 사용하던 시절에서 최근 폴리실리콘막과 텅스텐실리사이드를 적층으로 사용하고 있으며, 다음 세대에서는 폴리실리콘막과 텅스텐막을 적층으로 사용한다. 그런데, 텅스텐막을 사용하는 경우 여러가지 문제점이 발생한다. 그 문제점들 중에 하나가 텅스텐막의 산화이다.As devices become more integrated, there are challenges in conducting layer patterns, but also gate resistance problems. Therefore, in the past when only polysilicon was used, polysilicon film and tungsten silicide are recently used for lamination, and in the next generation, polysilicon film and tungsten film are used for lamination. By the way, when using a tungsten film, various problems arise. One of the problems is the oxidation of the tungsten film.
게이트 식각 후, 데미지 레이어(Damage layer)를 제거하기 위하여 라이트 산화(Light Oxidation)으로 처리하고 있으나, 텅스텐막을 도전층으로 사용할 경우, 일반적인 고온 분위기에서 라이트 산화를 진행하면, 텅스텐막의 산화가 발생하므로 선택적인 산화 방법을 고려하여 개발하고 있는 추세이다. After the gate is etched, it is treated by light oxidation to remove the damage layer.However, when the tungsten film is used as the conductive layer, the oxidation of the tungsten film occurs when the light oxidation is performed in a general high temperature atmosphere. Considering the oxidation method, the trend is being developed.
그러나, 이러한 방법도 텅스텐 산화에 자유로운 방법이 아니다. 후속 공정에서, 소스/드레인 영역을 형성하기 위하여 산화막/질화막 스페이서를 형성하고, 이온 주입을 진행한 후, 열공정을 진행할 경우, 텅스텐이 파티클(Particle)이나 크랙(Crack) 등으로 드러나는 경우, 여전히 텅스텐막의 산화가 발생한다.However, this method is also not free of tungsten oxidation. In the subsequent process, when the oxide / nitride spacers are formed to form the source / drain regions, the ion implantation proceeds, and the thermal process proceeds, when tungsten is exposed to particles or cracks, it is still Oxidation of the tungsten film occurs.
도 1은 종래 기술의 문제점을 나타낸 TEM 사진으로써, 도 1을 참조하면 텅스텐막의 이상 산화로 인한 텅스텐막 측면부가 과도 산화된 것을 알 수 있다.1 is a TEM photograph showing a problem of the prior art. Referring to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the side surface of the tungsten film is excessively oxidized due to abnormal oxidation of the tungsten film.
상술한 바와 같이, 게이트 패턴을 형성한 후 라이트 산화를 진행하면, 텅스텐막의 이상 산화로 인해 후속 공정인 자기정렬콘택 페일(Self Align Contact fail)과 같은 문제가 발생하여 소자의 수율의 저하와 동작 특성이 저하되는 문제가 발생한다.As described above, when the light oxidation is performed after the gate pattern is formed, problems such as self alignment contact fail, which are subsequent processes, may occur due to abnormal oxidation of the tungsten film, resulting in deterioration of device yield and operation characteristics. This deterioration problem occurs.
본 발명은 상기한 종래 기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 제안된 것으로, 라이트 산화시 텅스텐 산화를 방지하는데 적합한 반도체 소자 제조 방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device suitable for preventing tungsten oxidation during light oxidation.
상기 목적을 달성하기 위한 특징적인 본 발명의 반도체 소자 제조 방법은 반도체 기판 상에 게이트 절연막, 폴리실리콘막 및 희생막이 차례로 적층된 게이트 패턴을 형성하는 단계, 상기 게이트 패턴을 포함하는 전면에 층간절연막을 형성하는 단계, 상기 희생막이 드러나는 타겟으로 상기 층간절연막을 평탄화하는 단계, 상기 희생막을 제거하여 홈을 형성하는 단계, 적어도 상기 희생막이 제거된 홈을 매립하는 두께의 텅스텐막을 형성하는 단계, 및 라이트 산화를 실시하는 단계를 포함한다.In another aspect of the present invention, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming a gate pattern in which a gate insulating film, a polysilicon film, and a sacrificial film are sequentially stacked on a semiconductor substrate, and forming an interlayer insulating film on the entire surface including the gate pattern. Forming a groove, forming a groove by removing the sacrificial film, forming a tungsten film having a thickness at least filling the groove from which the sacrificial film is removed, and light oxidation Performing the step.

도 2d에 도시된 바와 같이, 게이트 패턴을 포함하는 반도체 기판(31)의 전면에 층간절연막(37)을 증착한다. 이 때, 층간절연막(37)은 BSG(Boro-Silicate-Glass)막, BPSG(Boro-Phospho-Silicate-Glass)막, PSG(Phospho-Silicate-Glass)막, TEOS(Tetra-Ethyl-Ortho-Silicate)막, HDP(High Density Plasma) 산화막, SOG(Spin On Glass)막 또는 APL(Advanced Planarization Layer)막 등을 이용하며, 산화막 계열 이외에 무기 또는 유기 계열의 저유전율막을 이용할 수 있다. As shown in FIG. 2D, an interlayer
도 2e에 도시된 바와 같이, 화학적·기계적 연마(Chemical Mechanical Polishing; CMP) 또는 에치 백(Etch Back)을 실시하여 희생막(34)이 드러나는 타겟으로 층간절연막(37)을 평탄화한다. 층간절연막(37)의 평탄화는 전면 식각(Etch Back) 또는 화학적·기계적 연마(Chemical Mechanical Polishing; CMP)를 사용한다. 이하, 층간절연막(37)은 층간절연막(37a)로 약칭한다. As illustrated in FIG. 2E, chemical insulating polishing (CMP) or etching back is performed to planarize the
도 2f에 도시된 바와 같이, 희생막(34)을 제거하여 폴리실리콘막(33)의 상부를 오픈하는 홈(H)을 형성한다. 이때, 희생막(34)은 산소 플라즈마 스트립 공정으로 제거한다.As shown in FIG. 2F, the
도 2g에 도시된 바와 같이, 폴리실리콘막(33) 상부에 적어도 희생막이 제거되어 형성된 홈을 매립하는 두께의 텅스텐막(38)을 증착한다.As shown in FIG. 2G, a

따라서, 게이트 절연막(32) 상에 폴리실리콘막(33) 및 텅스텐막(38a)이 차례로 적층된 게이트 패턴을 형성할 수 있다. Therefore, the gate pattern in which the
상술한 바와 같이, 희생막을 갖는 게이트 패턴을 형성하고, 그 희생막을 제거한 후, 제거한 영역에 게이트용 도전층을 매립하는 형태로 게이트 패턴을 형성하므로써, 라이트 산화 의한 텅스텐막의 이상 산화를 미리 방지하여 종래 문제가 되었던 SAC 페일과 같은 문제를 방지할 수 있다. 즉, 라이트 산화를 먼저 실시한 후 텅스텐막을 증착함으로써, 라이트 산화에 의한 텅스텐막의 이상 산화를 완전히 방지할 수 있다.As described above, by forming a gate pattern having a sacrificial film, removing the sacrificial film, and forming a gate pattern in a form in which the gate conductive layer is embedded in the removed region, abnormal oxidation of the tungsten film by light oxidation is prevented in advance. This can prevent problems such as SAC failing, which became a problem. That is, by performing light oxidation first and depositing a tungsten film, abnormal oxidation of the tungsten film by light oxidation can be completely prevented.
본 발명의 기술 사상은 상기 바람직한 실시예에 따라 구체적으로 기술되었으나, 상기한 실시예는 그 설명을 위한 것이며 그 제한을 위한 것이 아님을 주의하여야 한다. 또한, 본 발명의 기술 분야의 통상의 전문가라면 본 발명의 기술 사상의 범위 내에서 다양한 실시예가 가능함을 이해할 수 있을 것이다.Although the technical idea of the present invention has been described in detail according to the above preferred embodiment, it should be noted that the above-described embodiment is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. In addition, those skilled in the art will understand that various embodiments are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
상술한 본 발명은 텅스텐막이 열공정으로부터 자유로워 텅스텐막 산화가 발생하지 않는다는 점에서, 크리티컬한 공정이 아니므로 적은 노력으로 최적의 효과를 얻을 수 있다.The present invention described above is not a critical process in that the tungsten film is free from the thermal process so that tungsten film oxidation does not occur. Therefore, the optimum effect can be obtained with little effort.
또한, 텅스텐막의 이상 산화에 의한 소자 특성 저하를 완전히 막을 수 있으므로, 소자의 수율을 향상시키고, 관리 유지에 유용하다.In addition, since the deterioration of the device characteristics due to abnormal oxidation of the tungsten film can be completely prevented, it is useful for improving the yield of the device and maintaining it.
