Description

200408053 ⑴ 玫、發明說明 實施方式及圖式簡單說明) (發明說明應敘明:發明所屬之技術領域、先前技術、内容、 發明背景 技術領城_ ·· 本發明一般與在半導體裝置中形成金屬線之方法相 關,且更特定地,與一種使用離子金屬電漿(IMP)方法形成 障礙金屬層之方法相關。 先前技藝: 最近,在使用於在半導體裝置中訊號轉移及功率應用之 金屬線中,在該等線之間的線寬度及距離因為整合之增加 程度而持續地窄化。隨著該趨勢,已經嘗試形成金屬線的 許多方法。金屬線之材料通常包括銘(A1 )、銅(c u)以及該等 之合金層。金屬線之材料埋至接觸洞,經由其一給定之接 合被暴露以形成具有所需厚度及寬度的金屬線。進一步 地,為了改進金屬線材料之缺陷的接觸洞埋葬特性,鶴(w) 插頭在接觸洞中形成且之後該金屬線在該插頭上形成。 然而,在該情況下,因為鋁金屬層或鎢插頭和半導體基 材的碎(Si)在接觸洞之底部反應,所以發生接合刺穿的現 象。結果,該接合刺穿導致降低半導體裝置之電氣特性及 可靠性。所以,為了防止接合刺穿現象,於是形成一内層 絕緣膜(ILD)。並且,為了防止半導體基材之梦(Si)離子在被 嫣層所埋葬之接觸洞的内表面上的擴散’形成一障礙金屬 (B/M)層。該障礙金屬層具有一結構,在其上堆疊鈦(Ti)和 氮化鈦(TiN)膜。 形成具有鈦/氮化鈦膜之堆疊結構之障礙金屬層的方法 包括傳統鈥/氮化鈦方法、平行鈦/傳統氮化鈦方法、IMp鈦 200408053 (2) 發明說明續頁 /化學氣相沉積(CVD)氮化鈦方法、IMP鈦/IMP氮化鈦方法(此 時’不施加AC偏壓電源)或是IMp鈦/平行氮化鈦方法。 圖1顯示當使用傳統鈦/氮化鈦方法和平行鈦/傳統氮化鈦 方法形成障礙金屬層時可獲得的障礙金屬層的剖面圖。 現在參考圖1 ’在使用傳統鈦/氮化鈦方法的情況下,一 内層絕緣膜12在半導體基材10上形成,該基材包括一給定 的記憶體單元和具有閘極和接合區域的電晶體。之後執行 微影和蝕刻方法以形成一接觸洞14 ,經由該楝該半導體基 材10的給定部份被打開。接著,鈦膜l6a和氮化鈦膜藉由 傳統方法,藉由該方法鈦和氮化鈦目標使用氬(Ar)氣體賤 擊’而隨後地在包括接觸洞丨4之整個結構上沉積,因此形 成一障礙金屬層16。 在另一方面,在使用平行鈦/傳統氮化鈦之方法的情況 下’接觸洞14在半導體基材1 〇中形成。接著,鈥使用氣氣 體而濺擊。此時,鈦膜16a使用平行方法形成,藉由該方法 在鈦微粒中僅具有筆直性的粒子被氬氣體所濺擊。之後, 該氮化鈥膜16b藉由傳統方法在鈦膜16a上沉積,因此形成該 障礙金屬層16。 如上所述,在使用傳統鈦/氮化鈦方法和平行鈦/傳統氮化 鈦方法之情況下,該障礙金屬層16在接觸洞14之底部的邊 緣部份(A1)不能具有鈦膜16a之足夠的階梯涵蓋率,因為在 内層絕緣膜12中形成之接觸洞14的尺寸因為半導體裝置整 合之增加程度而減少。結果,有接觸組抗被增加而產生在 半導體裝置中瑕疵的問題。 200408053 (3) 發明說明續頁 進一步地,甚至在氮化鈥膜16b的情況下,足夠階梯涵蓋 率特性不能在接觸洞14的底部之邊緣部份(A1)獲得。因為當 鎢層稍後埋葬時,在接觸洞14之内表面上形成之氮化欽膜 側邊的頂端部分的突出現象,一關鍵洞在鎢層内產生 (未顯示)$結果,存在裝置之電氣特性和可靠性被降低的 問題。 所以,在傳統鈦/氮化鈦方法和平行鈦/傳統氮化鈦方 π ’當鶏沉積時,鈥/氮化鈥膜之階梯涵蓋率在接觸洞之底 部之邊緣部份被弱化,氟(F)與半導體基材的矽(Si)離子反 應。所以,有鎢穿入半導體基材,像圖3之部份(A3)之問題。 進一步地,歸因於增加接觸組抗,因為F離子穿入在接觸洞 底部之TiSi2的底部,因此形成一非精細層,存在裝置中的 失敗問題。 圖2顯示當使用IMP鈦/CVD氮化鈦方法及IMP鈦/IMP氮化 致方法形成障礙金屬層時可獲得之障礙金屬層的剖面圖。 現在參考圖2,在使用IMP鈦/CVD氮化鈦方法之情況下, 内層絕緣膜22在半導體基材20上形成。之後執行微影和蝕 刻方法以形成接觸洞24,經由其半導體基材20之給定部份 被打開。接著,藉由IMP方法形成鈦膜26a而氮化鈦膜26b也 藉由使用TDEAT+NH3來源之CVD方法在該鈦膜26a上形成。之 後,在内層絕緣膜22中形成之接觸洞24的底部部分藉由電 漿處理而晶體化。結果,可改進分別膜之階梯涵蓋率。 在另一方面,該IMP鈦/IMP氮化鈦係為一種方法,藉由其 鈦膜26a和氮化鈦膜26b藉由IMP方法,在半導體基材20上隨 200408053 (4) · •發明碍明續頁 後地沉積,在該基材中形成接觸洞24·,因此形成障凝金屬 層26 〇 如上所述,在使用IMP鈦/CVD氮化鈦方法及imp鈦/IMP氮 化鈦方法之情況下,接觸洞之側牆保持完整如非晶矽相 位。因此,在隨後退火方法上,在接觸洞之底部之部份(A2) 的氮化鈦膜26b不能夠連續地形成。因為此,在鎢層之隨後 沉積方法上,鶴容易地穿入接觸洞之底部之邊緣部份,如 圖4中之(A4)。因為氟離子和該半導體基材之矽離子反應, 因此介電膜在邊緣部份形成。結果’有接觸組抗增加導致 裝置之失敗的問題。此外,因為在接觸洞之側牆的階梯涵 蓋率非常弱,在鎢層之沉積上,氟離子之F-基礎與半導體 基材的梦離子反應,因此形成SiF4。結果,此阻礙埋葬鎢層 之隨後方法。 如上所述,當利用先前技藝傳統鈦/氮化鈦方法、平行鈦 /傳統氮化鈦方法、IMP鈥/CVD氮化鈥方法和IMP鈥/IMP氮化 鈥方法時發生的裝置失敗將參考圖5A和圖5B而描述。 圖5A和圖5B顯示用以解釋因為根據顯示在圖3和4發生之 降低的電導(1/R)特性,裝置之功能失敗的特徵。 如可從圖5A看到,在因為氟離子之穿入產生之失敗單元 (FC)之情況下,取決於單元電壓(Vpx),在單元汲極電流中 幾乎沒有變化。在另一方面中,在氟離子沒有穿入之正常 單元(NC)的情況下,單元汲極電流在給定門檻電壓突然地 改變。同時,假如FC由因為氟離子穿入在接觸洞底部墻加 的接觸組抗而產生,施加至鄰近單元閘極電極的電流量的 200408053 (5) 變異當單元閘極電整急速變動時減少,因此羞 最大梯度(GM)單元。 進一步地,如可從圖5B看到,在NC之情況下 保持在常數範圍(4.5伏到5伏)。在另一方面, 下,門檻電壓增加至5.5伏到9.9伏。 發明内容 設計本發明以解決上述問題而本發明之目的 導體裝置中形成金屬線的方法,藉由該方法在1 形成鈦/氮化鈦之障礙金屬層的方法上施加增 電源以增加在接觸洞底部之邊緣部份的鈥/氮 厚度,使得可在沉積鎢層之隨後方法上防止氣 導體基材》

其中形成用以形成記憶體單元和電晶體的閘極電極和接合 區域(未顯示)。之後實施化學機械研磨(CMP)方法以平面化 内層絕緣膜102。 接著,在光阻在整個結構上覆蓋之後,實施使用遮罩之 暴露方法以形成光阻圖案(未顯示),經由其半導體基材100 之給定部份被打開。之後,實施使用光阻圖案如蝕刻遮罩 之蝕刻方法以形成接觸洞104,經由該洞打開半導體基材100 之給定部份。 藉由參考圖6B,保留在接觸洞104之内表面上的微粒藉由 一給定的潔淨方法移除以改進在接觸洞104之内表面上的 介面特性。接著,為了防止接合刺穿在半導體基材100之介 面和金屬膜發生,藉由其因為在其之間的反應接觸洞104被 埋葬,鈦膜106a和氮化鈦膜l〇6b在接觸洞1〇4之内表面和内層 絕緣膜102上隨後地沉積,因此形成障礙金屬層106。 在此時,障礙金屬層106可藉由在單一室中沉積鈦膜l〇6a 和氮化鈥膜l〇6b或藉由獨立地沉積該等膜在兩室中而形 成。一般地,沉積設備可包括由AMAT公司所製造的“Endura 系統”,藉由該設備1%1>鈦/IMP氮化鈦方法微調可容易地使 用。 在使用單一室沉積鈦膜l〇6a和氮化鈦膜i〇6b之情況下,首 先藉由施加1.5至3.0千瓦之DC電源、1.5至3.0千瓦之RF電源和 200至500瓦之AC偏壓電源,在室壓保持在10至50毫陶爾的狀 態中沉積鈦膜l〇6a。接著’在室内之情況保持和鈦膜106a之 200408053 ⑺ 發明說明續頁 沉積狀況幾乎相同的狀態中,藉由注入氮氣在鈦膜1(>6a上沉 積氮化鈥膜106b。在沉積氮化鈦膜1〇6b之方法期間,室壓藉 由氮氣注入該室中保持在20至100毫陶爾。在此時,為了鈦 膜106a之沉積目標係以接觸洞1〇4之底部為基礎為在50至100 埃的厚度’該飲膜106a以半導體基材100為基礎沉積1〇〇至500 埃之厚度。 在另一方面,在使用兩室沉積鈦膜l〇6a和氮化鈦膜i〇6b之 情沉下,在第一室保持10至50毫陶爾之壓力之狀態下,首 籲 先藉由施加1.5至3.0千瓦之dc電源、1.5至3.0千瓦之RF電源以 及200至500瓦之AC偏壓電壓沉積鈦膜l〇6a。接著,以在第一 室相同情況但是額外地該半導體基材100移到氮氣被注入 ‘ 之該第二室,該氮化鈦膜l〇6b在鈦膜106a上沉積。 私 在此時,第二室之壓力藉由氮氣保持在20至100毫陶爾。 進一步地,為了鈦膜l〇6a之沉積目標係以接觸洞104之底部 為基礎在50至100埃的厚度,該鈦膜l〇6a以半導體基材100為 基礎沉積100至500埃之厚度。 φ 同時,在鈦膜106a和氮化鈦膜i〇6b在單一室中沉積之情況 下,最後在室中沉積之膜包括鈦膜/氮化鈦膜和鈦膜。在此 時,假如該沉積方法在晶圓前置方法上在氮氣中完成,當 新晶圓引進至該室以形成障礙金屬層時,該氮化鈦膜在隨 後晶圓(即是,新晶圓)而不是鈦膜上首先地沉積。此導致 降低電氣特性。該原因係為沉積方法係在氮氣在氮化鈦膜 沉積之後被排除的狀態下完成。此時,在氮化鈦膜上沉積 之該鈦膜藉由使用氮氣之隨後退火方法改變至氮化鈦膜。 -12- 200408053 ⑻ 發明說明續頁 現在參考圖6C,實施一給定之退火方法以退火該障礙金 屬層106。接著,在接觸洞1〇4和障礙金屬層1〇6上沉積鶴層 108使得該接觸洞1〇4被埋葬。雖然在圖式中未顯示,該鎢層 108被蚀回使得在内層絕緣膜1〇2上形成之氮化鈦膜1〇6b暴 露。在銘金屬膜在氮化鈥膜l〇6b和鎢層1〇8上沉積之狀態 下,圖案化該鋁金屬膜和障礙金屬層1〇6以形成金屬線。 如上所述,使用IMP方法實施用以形成障礙金屬層1〇6之 沉積欽膜106a和氮化鈦膜l〇6b之方法。在此時,為了獲得例 如圖6B中的“B1”的剖面,需要在沉積方法上施加給定量上 之AC偏壓電源。施加增加之AC電壓電源之原因係藉由加強 障礙金屬層106之特性和厚厚地形成在接觸洞1〇4底部之邊 緣部份形成之氮化鈥膜l〇6b而克服傳統問題β 因此,在IMP鈇/IMP氮化歛方法中之ac偏壓電源係為決定 障礙金屬層剖面之最重要因素。 取決AC偏壓電源量在障礙金屬層的剖面中之變化現在將 參考圖7A至圖7C詳細地描述。 現在參考圖7A’顯示當施加0至50瓦之AC偏壓電源時障礙 金屬之剖面。從該圖式,可看見在接觸洞104底部之邊緣部 份“B2”具有與藉由使用普通物理氣相沉積(PVD)方法之金 屬沉積方法所沉積的障礙金屬層106的相同剖面。因此,發 生在傳統障礙金屬層中之相同問題。 藉由參考圖7B,顯示當施加100至150瓦之AC偏壓電源,障 礙金屬層之剖面。從該圖式,可看見在接觸洞104之底部中 央突出之部分“B2”如圖7A所顯示藉由施加1〇〇瓦至150瓦之 200408053 (9) 發明說明續頁 增加的AC偏壓電源被製造為像邊緣部份“B3’’之常數尺寸。
現在參考圖7C,顯示當施加200至500瓦之八(:偏壓電壓"時障 礙金屬層之剖面。不像圖7B中之剖面“B3” ’可看見在接觸 洞104之底部的邊緣部份“B4”具有凹剖面。該原因係為因為 障礙金屬層106在邊緣部份“B4,,和接觸洞104之底部之側邊 部分厚厚地形成,其歸因於一先前沉積層被具有由於高AC 偏壓電源之高能量之鈦離子重新濺擊,同時其與在接觸洞 底部之鈦膜或氮化鈦膜碰撞。 如上所述,根據本發明,當使用IMP方法形成鈦/氮化鈦 之障礙金屬層時,施加增加的AC偏壓電源以增加在接觸洞 之底部之邊緣部份的鈦/氮化鈦的沉積厚度。所以,本發明 具有一優點在於其在沉積隨後鎢層之方法上可防止氟(F) 離子之穿入至半導體基材。 進一步地,在使用IMP方法形成障礙金屬層之方法上適當 地控制AC偏壓電源。所以,本發明具有一優點在於其可防
土裝置之失敗,改進裝置之特性且增加良率,因為在沉積 隨後鎮層之方法上可防止氟(F)離子穿入至半導體基材。 本發明已經參考特別具體實施例一起與特別應用而描 述。熱悉此议蟄的人士和接觸到本發明之教誨將承認在其 範圍内之額外修改和應用^ 所又|增附申請專利範圍的企圖係為涵蓋在本發明 圍内《任何及王部廷樣之應用、修改、和具體實施例。 圖式簡單說明 本發明之前述勸1 ^ & 硯·..·占和,、他特點將一起與隨附圖式,在
