The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a transistor, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a transistor having a silicide film.
As electronic products adopting semiconductor devices become smaller, lighter, and slimmer, high integration density, low threshold voltage (Vth), fast operation speed, and low power consumption are demanded in the semiconductor devices. According to the necessity of high integration as described above, the transistor adopted by the semiconductor device should be minimized as much as possible.
However, there are various problems as the transistor shrinks. For example, as the width of the gate electrode of the transistor narrows, the channel length of the transistor gradually decreases, thereby causing a short channel effect. In addition, the width of the gate electrode is narrowed to increase the electrical resistance of the gate electrode. As the electrical resistance of the gate electrode increases, the transmission speed of the electrical signal applied to the gate electrode becomes slow due to the resistance-capacitance delay time.
On the other hand, the method of reducing the electrical resistance of the gate electrode is described in US Patent No. 5,646,782 "Method to ensure isolation between source-drain and gate electrode using self aligned silicidation ”, as disclosed by Koh.
According to Koh, a metal film is formed on the semiconductor substrate on which the polysilicon gate electrode and the source / drain regions are formed. The semiconductor substrate is heat-treated to react silicon of the gate electrode and the source / drain regions with the metal film to form metal silicide. The formation of the metal silicide may reduce the electrical resistance of the gate electrode. In addition, the contact resistance of the source / drain regions can be reduced.
However, the metal silicide may be titanium silicide (TiSi) or cobalt silicide (CoSi). The titanium silicide and the cobalt silicide may react with silicon atoms of a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, or a silicon oxynitride film to form a parasitic silicide film. In addition, the gate spacer formed on the sidewall of the gate electrode generally includes a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, a silicon oxynitride film, or a combination thereof. After forming the gate spacer, the metal silicide is formed. Therefore, when forming the metal silicide, there is a possibility that the metal silicide and the silicon atoms of the gate spacer react to form a parasitic silicide film. The parasitic silicide layer may provide a path of leakage current between the gate electrode and the source / drain region. This is a problem because the semiconductor device may not work properly.
Meanwhile, a method of forming a metal silicide is generally described with reference to FIG. 1. A metal film forming process S2 is performed on the polysilicon gate electrode having the gate spacer and the semiconductor substrate having the source / drain regions. The semiconductor substrate is subjected to a first heat treatment process (S4) at a first temperature (S4). In order to reduce the possibility that the parasitic silicide layer may be formed, a cleaning process S6 is performed after the first heat treatment process. Subsequently, a second heat treatment step S8 is performed at a second temperature higher than the first temperature. This has the problem of lengthening the process time.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in an effort to improve the above-described problems of the related art, and to provide a method of manufacturing a transistor including a silicide layer capable of electrically separating a gate electrode and a source / drain region.
According to an embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above technical problem, a method of manufacturing a transistor including a silicide film is provided. According to this method, a polysilicon pattern is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A gate spacer having an excess nitrogen region is formed on sidewalls of the polysilicon pattern. Source / drain regions are formed in the semiconductor substrate adjacent to both sides of the polysilicon pattern. A silicide layer is formed on the polysilicon pattern and the source / drain regions.
An isolation layer may be formed on the semiconductor substrate to define an active region.
The excess nitrogen region may be formed using a decoupled plasma nitridation (DPN) method. The excess nitrogen region may be formed along the surface of the gate spacer.
The silicide layer may be formed as follows. A metal film is formed on the semiconductor substrate having the polysilicon pattern, the gate spacer having the excess nitrogen region, and the source / drain regions. Subsequently, the semiconductor substrate is heat-treated to react the metal layer with the polysilicon pattern and the source / drain regions. As a result of the reaction, a silicide layer is formed on the polysilicon pattern and the source / drain regions.
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein and may be embodied in other forms. Rather, the embodiments introduced herein are provided to enable the disclosed contents to be thorough and complete, and to fully convey the spirit of the present invention to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, the thicknesses of layers and regions are exaggerated for clarity. In addition, where a layer is said to be "on" another layer or substrate, it may be formed directly on the other layer or substrate, or a third layer may be interposed therebetween. Portions denoted by like reference numerals denote like elements throughout the specification.

Hereinafter, the first heat treatment step S14 and the second heat treatment step S16 will be described in detail with reference to forming titanium silicide layers (TiSi). It may have a C54 phase. The C49 phase may be formed by heat treatment for 30 seconds at a temperature of 650 ℃ to 660 ℃, the C54 phase may be formed by heat treatment for 30 seconds at a temperature of 850 ℃ to 870 ℃. In addition, the C49 phase has a specific resistance of 60 ~ 80 μΩcm, the C54 phase has a specific resistance of 13 ~ 16 μΩcm. That is, the C49 phase titanium silicide may be formed in the first heat treatment step S14, and the C54 phase titanium silicide having lower specific resistance than the titanium silicide in the C49 phase may be formed in the second heat treatment step S16. . Subsequently, the cleaning process S18 may be performed to remove the unreacted metal film from the metal film. The cleaning process (S18) may be performed using a cleaning solution containing sulfuric acid.
Typically, titanium silicide (TiSi) and cobalt silicide (CoSi) may react with silicon atoms such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride to form parasitic silicides. Therefore, a parasitic silicide layer may be formed in the manufacturing process of a transistor including a general silicide layer to provide a path for leakage current between the gate electrode and the source / drain regions. However, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the
In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the cleaning process S6 is performed between the first heat treatment step S4 and the second heat treatment step S8 to prevent the parasitic silicide film from being formed. . However, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, since the
As described above, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the gate spacer having the excess nitrogen region is formed on the gate sidewall. The gate spacer serves to suppress the formation of the parasitic silicide layer when the silicide layer is formed. In addition, since the cleaning process performed between the first heat treatment process and the second heat treatment process can be omitted, the process time can be shortened.
