도 1을 참조하면, 현재 70nm 낸드 플래쉬 메모리에서 하부 금속배선(16)은 반도체 기판(10)상에 형성된 제 1 층간절연막(11)에 드레인 콘택홀을 형성하고, 드레인 콘택홀에 도전막을 매립하여 드레인 콘택(12)을 형성하고, 그 위에 버퍼 산화막(13), 스탑퍼 질화막(14) 및 제 2 층간절연막(15)을 순차 형성하고, 다마신 공정으로 제 2 층간절연막(15), 스탑퍼 질화막(14) 및 버퍼 산화막(13)에 트렌치를 형성한 후, 트렌치내에 금속막을 매립하여 형성하고 있다. Referring to FIG. 1, in the current 70nm NAND flash memory, the
이 같은 공정에서 트렌치 형성을 위한 식각 공정시 제 2 층간절연막(15)이 오버 에치(over etch)되거나 트렌치내에 금속막을 매립하기 전에 실시하는 크리닝(cleaning) 공정이 과도하게 진행될 경우, A 부분에 나타낸 바와 같이 제 2 층간절연막(15)의 탑(top) 부분 프로파일(profile)이 좁아지게 되며 이에 따라 이웃하는 하부 금속배선(16)들이 서로 단락(short)되는 불량이 발생될 가능성이 커지게 된다.In this process, if the second
그리고, 하부 금속배선(16)을 형성한 이후에 하부 금속배선(16)을 포함한 전면에 제 3 층간절연막(17)을 형성하고 제 3 층간절연막(17)에 하부 금속배선(16)의 일부를 노출하는 콘택홀을 형성한 후 콘택홀에 금속막을 매립하여 상부 금속배선(18)을 형성하는데, 상부 금속배선(18)이 하부 금속배선(16)상에 정(正) 얼라인(align)되지 않고 미스 얼라인(mis-align)되면 도 2의 B 부분에 나타낸 바와 같이 연결을 원치 않는 상부 금속배선(18)과 하부 금속배선(16)이 서로 단락(short)되는 불량이 발생될 가능성이 크다. After the
이러한 불량은 디자인 룰(design rule)이 감소함에 따라서 더욱 악화되게 되므로 소자 집적화에 많은 어려움이 있다.This defect is worsened as the design rule is reduced, so there are many difficulties in device integration.
본 발명은 전술한 종래 기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출한 것으로써, 이웃하는 금속배선들간 단락 현상 및 연결을 원치 않는 상하부 금속배선들간 단락 현상을 방지할 수 있는 반도체 소자의 제조방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and provides a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of preventing a short circuit between neighboring metal wires and a short circuit between upper and lower metal wires that are not connected. There is a purpose.
본 발명에 따른 반도체 소자의 제조방법은 반도체 기판상에 층간절연막을 형성하고 층간절연막에 트렌치를 형성하는 단계와, 트렌치에 하부 금속배선을 형성하는 단계와, 하부 금속배선의 에지 부분을 일정 두께 식각하는 단계를 포함한다.A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention includes forming an interlayer insulating film on a semiconductor substrate, forming a trench in the interlayer insulating film, forming a lower metal wiring in the trench, and etching a predetermined thickness of an edge portion of the lower metal wiring. It includes a step.
이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 설명하기로 한다. 그러나, 본 발명은 이하에서 개시되는 실시예에 한정되는 것이 아니라 서로 다른 다양한 형태로 구현될 수 있으며, 본 발명의 범위가 다음에 상술하는 실시예에 한정되는 것은 아니다. 단지 본 실시예는 본 발명의 개시가 완전하도록 하며 통상의 지식을 가진 자에게 발명의 범주를 완전하게 알려주기 위해 제공되는 것이며, 본 발명의 범위는 본원의 특허청구범위에 의해서 이해되어야 한다. Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described a preferred embodiment of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be implemented in various forms, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. Only this embodiment is provided to complete the disclosure of the present invention and to fully inform those skilled in the art, the scope of the present invention should be understood by the claims of the present application.
도 3a 내지 도 3c는 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 반도체 소자의 제조공정 단면도이다.3A to 3C are cross-sectional views illustrating a process of manufacturing a semiconductor device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
도 3a를 참조하면, 반도체 기판(20)상에 제 1 층간절연막(21)을 형성하고 제 1 층간절연막(21)에 콘택홀을 형성하고 콘택홀에 도전막 예를 들어, 폴리실리콘막 을 매립하여 드레인 콘택(22)을 형성한다. 그리고, 드레인 콘택(22)을 포함한 제 1 층간절연막(21)상에 제 2 층간절연막(25)을 형성한다. 이때, 제 2 층간절연막(25)을 형성하기 전에 버퍼 산화막(23)과 스탑퍼 질화막(24)을 더 형성함이 바람직하다.Referring to FIG. 3A, a first
차후에 형성하는 하부 금속배선 높이는 버퍼 산화막(23), 스탑퍼 질화막(24) 및 제 2 층간절연막(25)의 두께에 의해 정해지는데, 기존에 1800Å 정도였던 하부 금속배선의 높이가 2000~2300Å로 늘어나도록 버퍼 산화막(23), 스탑퍼 질화막(24) 및 제 2 층간절연막(25)의 두께를 적절히 조절한다.The lower metal wiring height to be formed later is determined by the thickness of the
이어, 제 2 층간절연막(25), 스탑퍼 질화막(24) 및 버퍼 산화막(23)을 선택적으로 식각하여 드레인 콘택(22)을 노출하는 트렌치를 형성하고, 크리닝(cleaning) 공정한다. 그런 다음, 트렌치를 포함한 전면에 금속막을 증착하고 제 2 층간절연막(25)이 노출되도록 금속막에 대하여 평탄화 공정을 실시하여 하부 금속배선(26)을 형성한다.Subsequently, the second
트렌치 형성을 위한 식각 공정시 오버 에치(over etch)되거나, 크리닝(cleaning) 공정이 과도하게 진행되게 되면 제 2 층간절연막(25) 탑(top) 부분의 프로파일(profile)이 좁아지게 되어 이웃하는 하부 금속배선(26)들이 서로 단락(short)될 가능성이 커지게 된다.When the etching process for forming the trench is over etched or the cleaning process is excessively processed, the profile of the top portion of the second
이에, 단락을 유발하는 하부 금속배선(26)의 에지 부분을 제거하기 위하여 하부 금속배선(26)을 포함한 전면에 포토레지스트(PR)를 도포하고 제 2 층간절연막(25)과 이에 인접한 하부 금속배선(26)의 에지 부분을 노출하는 포토레지스 트(PR)를 형성한다.Accordingly, in order to remove the edge portion of the
도 3b를 참조하면, 포토레지스트(PR)를 마스크로 노출된 제 2 층간절연막(25)과 하부 금속배선(26)의 에지 부분을 일정 두께 식각하고, 포토레지스트(PR)를 제거한다.Referring to FIG. 3B, the edge portions of the second
하부 금속배선(26)의 에지 부분이 식각됨에 따라서 하부 금속배선(26) 탑 부분의 면적이 감소되어 시트 저항(Rs)이 줄어들게 되는데, 하부 금속배선(26)의 높이를 기존보다 증가시켰으므로 하부 금속배선(26) 면적 감소에 따른 시트 저항 감소분은 보상되게 된다.As the edge portion of the
도 3c를 참조하면, 하부 금속배선(26)을 포함한 전면에 제 3 층간절연막(27)을 형성하고 제 3 층간절연막(27)에 하부 금속배선(26)을 노출하는 콘택홀을 형성하고 콘택홀내에 도전막을 매립하여 상부 금속배선(28)을 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 3C, the third interlayer insulating layer 27 is formed on the entire surface including the
이상으로, 본 발명에 따른 반도체 소자 제조를 완료한다.This completes the manufacture of the semiconductor device according to the present invention.
상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명은 단락 현상의 원인이 되는 금속배선의 에지 부분을 제거하여 이웃하는 금속배선들간 단락 현상을 방지할 수 있고 연결을 원치 않는 상하부 금속배선들간 단락 현상을 방지할 수 있다.As described above, the present invention can prevent the short circuit between neighboring metal wirings by eliminating the edge portion of the metal wiring which causes the short circuit and prevent the short circuit between the upper and lower metal wires which are not connected.
