Description

METHOOD FOR FORMING GATE OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for forming a gate of a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a semiconductor device having a simplified single hardmask gate structure of a dual hardmask gate structure formed on a semiconductor substrate. It relates to a gate forming method.

The MOS transistor may be divided into an nMOS transistor and a pMOS transistor according to the type of channel. When the nMOS transistor and the pMOS transistor are formed on one semiconductor substrate, this is called a CMOS transistor.

Polysilicon has typically been used as the gate electrode of such MOS transistors, in which the polysilicon gate electrode is typically doped with either P + or N + to be suitable for doping of source and drain regions. However, as the size of the semiconductor device is reduced, there are various problems in using polysilicon as the gate electrode.

Polysilicon gates must be doped in high concentrations to become conductors close to the metal, with dopant solubility in the polysilicon gate limited to around 5x10 20 atoms / cm 3. Because dopant solubility limits the number of charge carriers in the polysilicon gate, a depletion layer is formed at the interface between the polysilicon gate and the gate dielectric layer when a voltage is applied to the gate electrode. The depletion region in the polysilicon gate increases the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of the transistor by at least about 4-5 mA, and thus acts as a factor for greatly reducing the driving current of the transistor.

On the other hand, silicon oxide film or silicon oxynitride film, which has been mainly used as a gate dielectric film, has encountered physical limitations in electrical properties as its thickness is reduced, and it is difficult to secure reliability of the gate dielectric film. For example, when the thickness of the silicon oxide film is lowered to 20 kΩ or less, the gate leakage current increases by direct tunneling, and power consumption also increases. Therefore, when the gate dielectric film is formed of a silicon oxide film or a silicon oxynitride film, there is a limit in decreasing the thickness thereof.

In order to overcome this problem, it is possible to replace the existing silicon oxide film or silicon oxynitride film, and has a high equivalent oxide film thickness (EOT) and high dielectric constant (high-k) that can reduce the leakage current between the gate electrode and the channel region. The research on the dielectric film of) is being actively conducted.

However, according to the MOS transistor formed of a high dielectric constant gate dielectric film and a polysilicon gate electrode, defect states and a large number of bulk traps at the interface between the semiconductor substrate and the gate dielectric film are caused by conduction. By capturing the contributing electrons, the Fermi level is pinned to the center of the energy band located at or near the charge neutral level, thereby increasing the threshold voltage (Vth) significantly. Occurs.

The depletion effect and Fermi level fixation phenomenon of the polysilicon gate electrode as described above are more severe in the pMOS transistor, especially in the case of the pMOS transistor, dopants, i.e., boron (B), from the P + doped polysilicon gate electrode By penetrating through the channel region of the semiconductor substrate, problems such as changing the flat band voltage (Vfb) and the threshold voltage and lowering the reliability of the device also occur.

Accordingly, there is a strong demand to change the gate electrode material from polysilicon to a metallic material. Since the metallic material has an infinite carrier amount (5 × 10 22 atoms / cm 3), the thickness of the depletion region becomes substantially zero. Therefore, there is an advantage that the polysilicon gate can be replaced with a metal gate to eliminate the polysilicon depletion effect and the Fermi level fixation phenomenon. However, metal gates have various process problems such as thermal stability and compatibility with existing processes.

Accordingly, a metal / polysilicon gate stack structure in which a metal gate is inserted between the gate dielectric film and the polysilicon gate has been proposed. According to the metal / polysilicon gate stack structure, the polysilicon depletion effect and the Fermi level fixation phenomenon can be suppressed while maintaining compatibility with the existing process.

The work function of the metal gate determines the threshold voltage of the MOS transistor along with the doping level of the substrate. Thus, in a CMOS device where both nMOS transistors and pMOS transistors require low threshold voltages of about 0.3 to 0.6 V, the metal gate material has a work function of about 4.0 to 4.4 eV for the nMOS transistor and about 4.8 to 5.2 eV for the pMOS transistor. Must have a work function of.

1 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device having a dual gate in the related art.

Referring to FIG. 1, a method of manufacturing a dual gate of a semiconductor device, although not shown first, has a semiconductor substrate having a first region (NMOS) in which an NMOS transistor is formed and a second region (PMOS) in which a PMOS transistor is formed. An isolation layer is formed on (100) to define the active region. Next, a p-type well region and an n-type well region are formed in the first region NMOS and the second region PMOS by performing a normal well forming process. Next, a gate insulating film 20 is formed over the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate 10.

A polysilicon film 30 undoped with impurities is formed on the gate insulating film 20. Next, using the photosensitive film pattern as a mask, N-type impurities are injected into the polysilicon film in the NMOS region, and P-type impurities are injected into the polysilicon film in the PMOS region.

Next, a tungsten silicide film 40 is formed on the entire surface, and a dual hard mask film made of the silicon nitride film 50 and the PE-TEOS 52 is formed.

In addition, a gate pattern including the polysilicon layer 30, the tungsten silicide layer 40, and the dual hard mask layers 50 and 52 is formed by a general photolithography process.

However, it is difficult to control variation of final inspection critical dimensions (FICD) during the gate process due to the adoption of dual hard masks, which causes a problem in that the distribution of gate-related resistance on the product increases. In addition, when the etching is performed in two steps during the subsequent etching process, the contact etch is adopted to increase the variation of the contact Rc for each section and device, thereby adversely affecting the product.

Therefore, in the present invention, instead of the dual hard mask made of silicon nitride film and PE-TEOS, it is formed as a single hard mask on which PE-TEOS is deposited by optimizing through thickness evaluation, thereby making it easier to control the variation of FICD during the gate process and more stable. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for forming a gate of a semiconductor device capable of implementing process management.
