Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
The wafer on which the semiconductor device is formed includes a plurality of dies, each of which is divided into a scribe lane. Each die is formed with a semiconductor element, and a scribe lane is formed with a key for aligning a mask used in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor element.
The semiconductor element included in the die and the key included in the scribe lane are executed simultaneously. For example, when the gate lines are formed in the die and the first and second interlayer insulating films are formed, the first and second interlayer insulating films are simultaneously formed in the scribe lane region. Subsequently, when the first metal wiring (for example, the bit line) is formed in the die region, the first metal wiring is also formed in the scribe lane. The reason for forming the first metal wiring in the scribe lane is to adjust the position for forming the mask according to the step of the key formed in the scribe lane area. Specifically, a photoresist film is formed on the layer to be etched and the patterning position is adjusted using an exposure apparatus, wherein the exposure apparatus is configured to control the position of the key formed in the scribe lane. Adjust the position by measuring the step.
Meanwhile, the amount of impurities generated from the metal wiring may increase as the exposed area of the metal wiring (or metal material) formed in the scribe lane area during the etching process is increased during the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device. have. Increasing the amount of impurities may reduce the cleanliness of the interior of the chamber during the subsequent process, and in particular, the electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device may be degraded, thereby reducing the reliability of the semiconductor device.
An object of the present invention is to produce a reticle so that a scribe lane area is not exposed during an exposure process for forming a metal line for bit lines. As a result, the bit line metal wiring is formed only in the die region, and the metal wiring is not formed in the scribe lane region, thereby preventing the exposure of a large area of the metal wiring during the subsequent etching process. have.
In the semiconductor device manufacturing method according to the present invention, a first interlayer insulating film, a second interlayer insulating film, and a third interlayer insulating film are sequentially formed on a die region and a scribe lane region of a wafer. A trench is formed in the third interlayer insulating film formed on the die region. Metal wiring is formed inside the trench. A fourth interlayer insulating film is formed on the metal wiring and the third interlayer insulating film. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device comprising performing an etching process for simultaneously forming a second hole on the die region and a third hole on the scribe lane region.
Prior to forming the first interlayer insulating film, forming gate lines on the die region.
Before forming the third interlayer insulating layer, a first hole is formed in the second and first interlayer insulating layers between the drain select lines among the gate lines, and a drain contact plug is formed by filling a conductive material in the first hole. It includes a step. In this case, the trench is formed to expose the upper portion of the drain contact plug.
Forming the trench may include sequentially forming a hard mask film and a photoresist film on the third interlayer insulating film, and forming an opening in the photoresist film on the die region to form a photoresist pattern. The method may further include etching the exposed hard mask layer and the third interlayer dielectric layer using the photoresist pattern.
The exposure process is performed using a reticle as a mask. The reticle is formed in a structure in which a chrome pattern is laminated on a transparent substrate. In the chrome pattern, an opening is formed only in the die area, and no opening is formed in the scribe lane area.
The etching process for simultaneously forming the second hole and the third hole stops when the metal wiring is exposed to the inside of the second hole.
The difference between the width of the second hole and the width of the third hole is 1:50 to 1: 200, and the metal wiring is a bit line.
In the present invention, since the bit line metal wiring is formed only in the die region and the bit line metal wiring is not formed in the scribe lane region, the metal wiring is exposed to a large area in a subsequent etching process. Can be prevented. As a result, impurities in the metal component may be suppressed during the etching process, thereby improving reliability of the semiconductor device.
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. It is provided for complete information.

Specifically, the die DI includes a plurality of memory cells for storing data and a plurality of transistors for transmitting a driving voltage, and a plurality of metal wires for electrical operation between the memory cells and the transistors. The scribe lane SC includes a key (not shown) for aligning a position of a mask or the like during the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device.
The key is formed at the same time as the semiconductor element is formed in the die area. In particular, the key of the scribe lane SC area is formed in the process of forming the metal line for the bit line in the die area. ) Do not form metal wiring. Specifically, it is as follows.
