Description
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to semiconductor manufacturing technology, and more particularly, to a buried gate of a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof.
As the degree of integration of semiconductor devices increases, the planar area occupied by MOS transistors decreases. As a result, the channel length of the MOS transistor is reduced to generate a short channel effect. In particular, when a short channel effect occurs in the access MOS transistor adopted in the memory cell of the DRAM device, the threshold voltage of the DRAM cell is reduced and the leakage current is increased, thereby lowering the refresh characteristic of the DRAM device.
Accordingly, a recess gate MOS transistor has been introduced as a MOS transistor capable of suppressing a short channel effect by increasing the gate channel length even if the integration degree of the DRAM device is increased. The recess gate MOS transistor includes a recess formed in the active region of the semiconductor substrate, a gate electrode formed in the recess, and source / drain regions formed in the active regions on both sides of the gate electrode so as to be spaced apart by the recess. Recess gate transistors having such a structure can suppress problems due to short channel effects by increasing the channel length even though the degree of integration increases.
However, even if the recess gate MOS transistor is applied to a semiconductor device such as a DRAM device, there is a limit to the high integration of the device. On the source / drain regions of the recess gate MOS transistor, a contact structure for electrical connection with the bit lines and capacitors is formed, which reduces contact resistance and suppresses electrical shorts between neighboring contact structures or between the contact structure and the gate electrode. In order to achieve this, an adequate contact area must be secured. That is, the active regions on both sides of the gate electrode where the source / drain regions are formed should have an area of a certain degree or more for good contact formation. However, although the problems due to the short channel effect can be suppressed by applying the recess gate MOS transistor, there is still a need for an appropriate contact area.
Accordingly, a semiconductor device having a buried word line has been proposed. The buried word line is a technique of forming a trench crossing the channel region and the device isolation layer, forming a word line filling a portion of the trench, and forming an insulating pattern filling the remaining portion of the trench. As a result, the wordline is buried below the surface of the semiconductor substrate, providing a relatively large effective channel length. In addition, the capacitance value of the bit line and the word line may be reduced to reduce the array voltage.
Meanwhile, a nitride film is used to fill the remaining portion after the word line is formed to fill a portion in the trench when the buried word line is formed. However, in the case of a nitride film, there is a problem in that refresh deterioration occurs due to tensile stress.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a buried gate of a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof for preventing the deterioration of the buried gate.

In particular, the buffer layer may include a low temperature oxide layer, and the capping layer may include a nitride layer.
