As a result, there is an increasing demand for miniaturization of patterns and high precision of pattern dimensions, and the storage capacity of charges required for capacitors for storing information is increasing. As the height of the capacitor is gradually increased to satisfy this, the aspect ratio of the contact hole formed after the capacitor process is rapidly increased. Accordingly, various ideas and actual process development researches for improving the buried characteristics when the contact hole is buried are actively conducted. It's going on.
As is well known, a conventional technique for filling the contact hole is a method of depositing tungsten (W) having excellent step coverage. According to the method described above, a barrier film is formed on the semiconductor substrate on which the contact hole is formed by using a Ti film and a TiN film for securing low contact resistance and adhesion to the oxide film, and a contact hole is formed by depositing tungsten on the barrier film.

However, in the above-described conventional technique, when pre-cleaning, the sidewall of the first
As a result, the resistance of the bit line contact is lowered, so that the yield is reduced in a subsequent probe test process, and device characteristics and reliability are poor.
The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device that can improve the resistance of the bit line contacts.
In addition, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device that can increase the yield in the subsequent probe test process.
In addition, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of improving device characteristics and reliability.
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes forming a first insulating film and a second insulating film sequentially on a semiconductor substrate; Forming a photoresist pattern on the second insulating layer; Forming a groove by first etching the second insulating layer until the first insulating layer is exposed using the photoresist pattern as an etching mask; Generating a polymer on sidewalls of the photoresist pattern; Forming a contact hole by second etching the portion of the first insulating layer on the bottom of the groove by using the photoresist pattern including the polymer as an etching mask; Removing the polymer and the photoresist pattern; Forming a barrier film on the bottom and side surfaces of the contact hole including the groove; And forming a conductive film to fill the contact hole on the barrier film.
Here, the first insulating film is formed of a BPSG film.
The second insulating film is formed of a laminated film of an HTO film and an HDP film.
The polymer is formed to a thickness of 300 to 500 kPa.
The secondary etching is performed by dry etching.
The secondary etching is performed such that the first insulating layer is etched with a slope that becomes narrower toward the bottom of the contact hole.
