Abstract
Description
본 발명은 반도체소자의 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 반도체 소자의 게이트 전극 형성방법에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for forming a gate electrode of a semiconductor device.
반도체 소자의 고집적화에 따라 게이트 전극의 선폭 축소를 필요로 하는데 게이트 전극의 선폭이 축소되면 소자의 집적도가 높아지고 스위칭 속도가 빨라지게 된다. Higher integration of semiconductor devices requires reduction of the line width of the gate electrode, which results in higher integration and faster switching speed.
그러나 미세 선폭을 갖는 게이트 전극을 형성하기 위한 공정 진행시, 식각 공정 제어의 어려움 등으로 인해, 상부보다 선폭이 좁아진 하부를 갖는 게이트 전극의 프로파일을 갖는 노칭(notch)현상이 발생하게 된다. However, during the process of forming a gate electrode having a fine line width, a notch phenomenon occurs with a profile of the gate electrode having a lower portion having a narrower line width than the upper portion due to difficulty in controlling an etching process.
이렇게 발생된 노칭 현상으로 인해, 게이트 전극의 실제 길이가 짧아져 트랜지스터의 채널길이가 짧아지게 되어 포화전류(Saturation Current)의 특성과 브레이크다운 전압(Break-down Voltage)의 특성을 저하시켜 반도체 소자의 전기적 특성을 저하시키는 문제점을 가져온다. As a result of the notching phenomenon, the actual length of the gate electrode is shortened and the channel length of the transistor is shortened, thereby decreasing the characteristics of the saturation current and the breakdown voltage. This brings about a problem of deteriorating electrical characteristics.
상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 본 발명은 게이트 전극의 실제길이를 확보함으로써, 트랜지스터의 채널길이가 줄어드는 것을 방지하고 포화전류의 특성 및 브레이크다운 전압의 특성을 향상시켜 소자의 전기적 특성을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하는 반도체 소자의 게이트 전극 형성방법을 제공함에 있다. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention by securing the actual length of the gate electrode, to prevent the channel length of the transistor is reduced, improve the characteristics of the saturation current and the breakdown voltage to improve the electrical characteristics of the device The present invention provides a method for forming a gate electrode of a semiconductor device.
상기와 같은 과제를 달성하기 위한 본 발명에 따른 반도체 소자의 게이트 전극 형성방법은 기판 상에 소정 간격의 거리를 둔 두 개의 측벽 질화막을 형성하는 단계와, 상기 측벽 질화막이 형성된 기판 상에 게이트 산화막 및 폴리 실리콘막을 형성하는 단계와, 상기 폴리 실리콘막에 패터닝공정을 수행하여, 상기 두 개의 측벽 질화막 사이에 게이트 전극을 형성하는 단계를 포함한다. According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of forming a gate electrode of a semiconductor device, the method including: forming two sidewall nitride films at a predetermined interval on a substrate, and forming a gate oxide film on the substrate on which the sidewall nitride film is formed; Forming a polysilicon film; and forming a gate electrode between the two sidewall nitride films by performing a patterning process on the polysilicon film.
기판과 상기 측벽 질화막 사이의 계면에 캡 산화막을 형성하는 단계를 더 포함한다. And forming a cap oxide film at an interface between the substrate and the sidewall nitride film.
상기 게이트 산화막은 산화공정을 수행하여 형성한다. The gate oxide film is formed by performing an oxidation process.
상기 폴리 실리콘막의 패터닝공정은 상기 폴리 실리콘막 상에 게이트 전극 형성용 포토레지스트 패턴을 형성하는 단계와, 상기 포토레지스트 패턴을 식각 마스크로 상기 폴리실리콘막의 일부두께를 식각하는 단계와, 상기 포토레지스트 패턴을 제거하는 단계와, 상기 일부 두께가 제거된 폴리실리콘막을 식각 마스크로 상기 게이트 산화막이 노출될 때까지 식각하는 단계를 포함한다.The patterning of the polysilicon layer may include forming a photoresist pattern for forming a gate electrode on the polysilicon layer, etching a partial thickness of the polysilicon layer using the photoresist pattern as an etch mask, and forming the photoresist pattern. And removing the polysilicon layer from which the partial thickness has been removed until the gate oxide layer is exposed using the etching mask.
상기 포토레지스트 패턴을 제거하는 단계는 에싱공정 또는 습식세정공정을 수행하여 형성한다. Removing the photoresist pattern is formed by performing an ashing process or a wet cleaning process.
상기 일부 두께가 제거된 폴리실리콘막을 식각 마스크로 상기 게이트 산화막이 노출될 때까지 식각하는 단계는 에치백공정을 수행하여 형성한다. The etching of the polysilicon layer from which the partial thickness is removed until the gate oxide layer is exposed using the etching mask is performed by performing an etch back process.
본 발명에 따른 반도체 소자의 게이트전극 형성방법은 두 개의 측벽 질화막을 형성하여 게이트 전극 형성 영역을 정의한 후 게이트 전극을 형성함으로써, 정확한 게이트 전극의 실제길이를 확보할 수 있게 되어 트랜지스터의 채널길이가 줄어드는 것을 방지하고 포화전류의 특성 및 브레이크다운 전압의 특성을 향상시켜 소자의 전기적 특성을 향상시키는 효과가 있다. In the method of forming a gate electrode of a semiconductor device according to the present invention, two sidewall nitride films are formed to define a gate electrode formation region, and then a gate electrode is formed, so that the actual length of the gate electrode can be secured, thereby reducing the channel length of the transistor. It is effective to improve the electrical characteristics of the device by preventing it and improving the characteristics of the saturation current and the breakdown voltage.
또한, 본 발명에 따른 반도체소자의 게이트 전극 형성방법은 산화공정을 통해 제2 게이트 산화막을 측벽 질화막상에 형성함으로써, 트랜지스터의 게이트 산화막 형성공정과 게이트전극인 폴리 실리콘막의 보호막 형성공정을 동시에 수행함으로써 공정단순화의 효과를 갖는다. In the method of forming a gate electrode of a semiconductor device according to the present invention, a second gate oxide film is formed on a sidewall nitride film through an oxidation process, thereby simultaneously performing a gate oxide film forming process of a transistor and a protective film forming process of a polysilicon film as a gate electrode. It has the effect of process simplification.
