Abstract

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device is provided to completely remove SOG(spin on glass) by performing a dry etch process and a wet etch process after a trench is completely filled with SOG while an HDP(high density plasma) oxide layer is partially filled in the trench. A tunnel oxide layer(202), a polysilicon layer, a hard mask layer and a semiconductor substrate(200) are partially and sequentially etched to form a trench. A thermal oxide process can be performed on the inside of the trench. A first insulation layer is formed on the resultant structure to partially fill the trench. After a sacrificial layer having different stress and density from those of the first insulation layer is formed on the resultant structure to completely fill the trench, a polishing process is carried out. An etch process is performed to remove a predetermined thickness of the first insulation layer and the sacrificial layer filled in the trench. An etch process is performed to completely remove the sacrificial layer filled in the trench. After a second insulation layer made of the same material as the first insulation layer is formed on the resultant structure to completely fill the trench, a polishing process is performed until the upper portion of the hard mask layer is exposed so that an isolation layer(218) is formed. The hard mask layer can be composed of a nitride layer and an oxide layer.

본 발명은 반도체 소자의 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 특히, 매립 물질로 HDP(High Density Plasma) 산화막을 이용하여 보이드(void) 없이 트렌치를 완전히 매립하기 위한 반도체 소자의 제조방법에 관한 것이다. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device for completely filling a trench without voids by using an HDP (High Density Plasma) oxide film as a buried material.

일반적인 반도체 소자의 제조방법에 대해 설명하면 다음과 같다.The manufacturing method of a general semiconductor device is as follows.

반도체 기판 상부에 적층된 터널 산화막, 제1 폴리실리콘막, 하드 마스크막 및 반도체 기판의 일부를 식각하여 트렌치를 형성한 후 이를 매립하기 위해 전체 구조 상부에 제1 절연막을 증착한다. 이때, 제1 절연막은 HDP 산화막으로 증착한다. 습식 식각 공정을 실시하여 제1 절연막을 일부 제거하고, 트렌치가 완전히 매립되도록 전체 구조 상부에 제2 절연막을 증착한 후 연마 공정을 실시하여 소자분리막을 형성한다. A tunnel oxide layer, a first polysilicon layer, a hard mask layer, and a portion of the semiconductor substrate that are stacked on the semiconductor substrate are etched to form a trench, and then a first insulating layer is deposited on the entire structure to fill the trench. At this time, the first insulating film is deposited by the HDP oxide film. A part of the first insulating film is removed by a wet etching process, a second insulating film is deposited on the entire structure so that the trench is completely filled, and a polishing process is performed to form the device isolation film.

그러나, 소자가 점점 더 고집적화되어감에 따라 기존에 사용하였던 트렌치 매립 방법인 DWD(Deposition-Wet etch-Deposition) 방법을 사용하게 되면, 습식 식각 공정시 터널 산화막 측면이 노출되어 습식 식각시 사용되는 식각 용액에 데미지(damage)를 받아 험프(hump)가 발생되고, 터널 산화막이 붕괴(degradation)되어 소자 특성을 저하시킨다. 노출된 터널 산화막의 데미지를 최소화하기 위해 트렌치를 매립하기 위해 사용되는 제1 절연막의 두께를 더 두껍게 하면, 트렌치 매립 마진이 부족하여 보이드 문제를 유발시킨다. 또한, 트렌치 매립 마진을 확보하기 위해 습식 식각량을 증가시키면, 터널 산화막 측면이 노출되어 터널 산화막 측면에 데미지를 유발하게 된다. 이와 같이 제1 절연막 증착 두께와 습식 식각량의 상관 관계로 인하여 소자가 미세화될수록 트렌치 매립 마진은 더 악화한다. However, as the device is becoming more and more highly integrated, when the DWD (Deposition-Wet etch-Deposition) method, which is a conventional trench filling method, is used, the etching surface is exposed during the wet etching process because the tunnel oxide layer is exposed. The solution is damaged due to damage and a hump is generated, and the tunnel oxide film is degraded to degrade device characteristics. If the thickness of the first insulating film used to fill the trench is further thickened to minimize the damage of the exposed tunnel oxide film, the trench filling margin is insufficient to cause a voiding problem. In addition, when the wet etching amount is increased to secure the trench filling margin, the tunnel oxide side surface is exposed to damage the tunnel oxide layer side. As a result of the correlation between the first insulating layer deposition thickness and the wet etching amount, the trench filling margin worsens as the device becomes finer.

또한, 소자가 고집적화되어감에 따라 일반적으로 종래에 많이 사용되던 로코스(LOCOS)형 소자 분리막 형성 공정을 사용하고 있었으나, 지금은 액티브 영역의 면적을 늘릴 수 있는 STI(Shallow Trench Isolation) 공정이 많이 사용되고 있다. STI 공정은 반도체 기판 상부에 적층된 터널 산화막, 제1 폴리실리콘막, 하드 마스크막용 질화막과 산화막 및 반도체 기판의 일부를 순차적으로 식각하여 트렌치를 형성한 후 트렌치를 매립하기 위해 전체 구조 상부에 절연막을 형성하는 것이다.In addition, as the device is highly integrated, a LOCOS type isolation layer forming process, which is generally used in the past, has been used. However, many STI (Shallow Trench Isolation) processes can increase the area of the active region. It is used. In the STI process, a tunnel oxide film, a first polysilicon film, a hard mask film nitride film, an oxide film, and a portion of the semiconductor substrate are sequentially etched to form a trench, and then an insulating film is formed on the entire structure to fill the trench. To form.

그러나, 상기와 같이 트렌치 매립 공정을 실시할 경우, 액티브 영역 상부 가장 자리의 산화막이 전세정(pre-cleaning) 공정과 습식 식각 공정시 빨리 식각되어 과도하게 침식되는 모트(moat)가 형성된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 현재 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 트렌치 매립 물질이 HDP 산화막이다. However, when the trench filling process is performed as described above, a moat is formed in which the oxide film in the upper edge of the active region is rapidly etched and excessively eroded during the pre-cleaning process and the wet etching process. In order to solve this problem, the most commonly used trench filling material is HDP oxide.

그러나, 소자가 축소화되어감에 따라 트렌치 매립 물질로 HDP 산화막을 사용할 경우, 액티브 상부 영역에 HDP 산화막이 두껍게 증착되어 트렌치 내에 보이드가 형성된다. 이러한 보이드의 형성으로 인하여 소자 특성이 열화된다. 보이드 없이 트렌치를 매립하기 위해 매립 특성이 좋은 SOG(Spin On Glass) 계열의 산화막을 사용하는 방법이 있다. However, as the device shrinks, when the HDP oxide film is used as the trench filling material, a thick HDP oxide film is deposited on the active upper region to form voids in the trench. The formation of these voids causes deterioration of device characteristics. There is a method using a SOG (Spin On Glass) -based oxide film with good buried characteristics to fill the trench without voids.

그러나, SOG(Spin On Glass) 계열의 산화막을 사용할 경우, SOG의 특성이 HDP 산화막의 특성보다 좋지 않아 SOG 계열의 산화막으로 매립된 소자 분리막은 소자 분리막 역할을 하지 못하고 결국 소자 특성을 열화시킨다. However, when the SOG (Spin On Glass) oxide film is used, the SOG characteristics are not as good as those of the HDP oxide film. Thus, the device isolation layer embedded with the SOG oxide oxide does not function as a device isolation film and eventually degrades device characteristics.

상술한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출된 본 발명의 목적은 매립 물질로 HDP 산화막을 이용하여 보이드 없이 트렌치를 완전히 매립하기 위한 반도체 소자의 제조방법을 제공하는 데 있다. An object of the present invention devised to solve the above-described problem is to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device for completely filling the trench without voids using the HDP oxide film as a buried material.

In this case, the first insulating layer 112 is formed of an HDP oxide layer, but does not apply a bias, or applies a low bias.

In addition, the above method is not limited to the STI buried process, but is also applicable to a poly to metal dielectric (PMD) layer and an inter metal dielectric (IMD) layer.

둘째, 트렌치 매립 공정시 기존에 사용하던 HDP 산화막을 이용함으로써 개발 기간 단축 및 타사와의 경쟁력에서 우수할 수 있다.Second, by using the HDP oxide film used in the trench filling process, it can be shortened the development period and excellent in competitiveness with other companies.

셋째, 본 발명은 STI 매립 공정시에만 국한된 것이 아니라, PMD층과 IMD층에서도 적용가능하다. Third, the present invention is not only limited to the STI buried process but also applicable to the PMD layer and the IMD layer.
