DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for improving the quality of a cerium oxide film. The present invention relates to a novel deposition-plasma hardening cycle method. [Prior Art] The density of components on the body circuit continues to increase, and the size and distance between the components continue to decrease. The gap width of the structure and the width of the trench between them increase the height-to-width (i.e., the aspect ratio) of these structures. In other words, the integrated circuit continues to miniaturize and reduce the horizontal width between these elements to reduce their vertical height. While the ability to fabricate components that continue to increase the aspect ratio allows fabrication (e.g., transistors, capacitors, diodes, etc.) to be placed over the same surface area of the semiconductor substrate, this also creates manufacturing problems. One of these is that it is difficult to completely fill these gaps and grooves during the filling process without creating voids or cracks. Filling the gaps and trenches with, for example, a oxidizing material is necessary to structure adjacent components. If the gap is in a vacant state, there will be electronic noise and current leakage that will prevent the component from functioning properly (or fully). When the gap width is large (i.e., the depth is relatively small), a relatively fast deposited dielectric material fills the gap. The deposition material f will cover, and the ratio of the component of the structure of the structure is faster. The structure of the wafer is faster. The problem of the structure of the wafer is that the insulation is too much, and the insulation is too much. And continue to fill upward from the bottom until the crack or groove is completely filled. However, as the aspect ratio increases, it becomes more difficult to fill the narrow groove and does not have the hindrance of voids or cracks in the filling volume.
介電層中的空隙與裂縫導致半導體元件製造上與製成 元件中均產生問題。空隙與裂缝隨機形成於介電層中且具 有無法預期的尺寸、形狀、位置與整體密度。這導致該岸 之沉積後處理(諸如,均勻的蝕刻、研磨與退火等)的無法 預期與不一致性。製成元件中的空隙與裂缝亦對元件構、生 中的間隙與溝槽等介電特性產生變化。由於元件組成之ς 與之間的電子干擾、電荷滲漏(eharge leakage)甚至短路 (shorting) ’會導致不穩定且較差的元件效能。 技術已發展到可在沉積介電材質於高深寬比值構驾 時,減少空隙與裂缝的形成,這些技術包括減缓介電材隻 的沉積速率’因此介雷絲暂仅枝_ 电材質保持更高程度的同开 (conformal)於溝槽的侧壁盥底邱 - 土興魇σΡ 更咼程度的同形沉積? 減少下述實情的發生,沉藉姑暂古:巷祕^ … 心槓材質在溝槽的頂部或中部向」 ,增進最終封起空隙的頂部。缺而尤去从θ .只邠。然而不幸的是,減緩沉積逮 意味著增加沉積時間,而這降低處理效率與生產速率'。The voids and cracks in the dielectric layer cause problems in both the fabrication of the semiconductor device and the fabrication of the device. The voids and cracks are randomly formed in the dielectric layer and have an unexpected size, shape, position, and overall density. This leads to unpredictable and inconsistent post-deposition treatments (such as uniform etching, grinding and annealing, etc.) on the shore. The voids and cracks in the fabricated component also change the dielectric properties of the component structure, the gaps and the trenches in the growth. Electronic interference, eharge leakage, and even shorting between component components can result in unstable and poor component performance. The technology has been developed to reduce the formation of voids and cracks when depositing dielectric materials at high aspect ratios. These techniques include slowing down the deposition rate of dielectric materials only, so the dielectric filaments are only temporarily branched.

More fluid materials fill voids and cracks faster, and: Avoid becoming a permanent defect in the fill volume. Increasing the fluidity of the dioxosite material typically involves the addition of water vapor or a peroxide (e.g., hydrogen peroxide "Η2. 2") to the precursor mixture used to form the deuterated layer. Water; gas produces more sterol (si_0H) bonds in the deposited film, which bond gives the I 200807558 membrane two fluidity. However, unfortunately, increasing the humidity during the deposition of cerium oxide adversely affects the properties of the deposited film, including its density (eg, wet etch rate ratio (WERR)) and dielectric. Characteristics (for example, high k values). Therefore, there is still a need for a dielectric deposition system and a processing method in which a dielectric film having no voids and no cracks can be deposited, a trench, and other device structures having a high aspect ratio. At the same time, high deposition rates and flow characteristics are still needed.

These and other dielectric film deposition patterns are presented by the present invention.

The method comprises the steps of: introducing an organogermanium precursor and an oxygen precursor to a deposition chamber; reacting the precursors to form a first dioxide layer in a gap on the substrate; and then etching the first - The oxidized hair layer is good for reducing the carbon content in the layer. These methods also include forming a second ruthenium dioxide layer on the first layer and then etching the second layer to reduce the carbon content of the layer. After the gap is filled, the dioxin test layers are annealed. Embodiments of the invention also include a method of forming a multilayer dioxide oxidized chopped film onto a substrate. These methods include the step of forming a plurality of tantalum ruthenium layers on the substrate, and each of the ruthenium dioxide layers has a thickness of from about 10 Å to about 2 Å.

First, oxygen atoms are generated outside the chamber where deposition occurs, and are kept separate from the organic ruthenium precursor until they are mixed in the chamber. The resulting cerium oxide is carbon-rich and highly fluid, providing a deposited film that easily flows to the narrow gap and the bottom of the trench. After the etching process removes at least some of the larger carbon groups and hydroxyl groups in the deposited film, the subsequent oxidized deposits will flow through the first layer and be etched into the second oxidized layer. This cycle will be repeated many times until, for example, the gap or trench has been filled up from the bottom by the oxide layer. This multi-cycle process has been referred to as filling from the bottom up gap. Additional details regarding the methods, products, and systems of the present invention will now be described. The present invention shows a flow chart of a brief overview of the multi-cycle cerium oxide deposition of the 眚m > 豕+ 月贝 example according to the present invention. The method 100 of displaying a plurality of displays includes providing a gap-containing substrate to a deposition chamber (step 102v. 兮h) the substrate having a build formed thereon (including gaps, trenches, etc.), and thus 椹1 A > These structures have an aspect ratio (height visibility) of about 5:1 or more, 7 · ·| a fly back to 7 · 1 or higher, 10 : 1 or higher 13 * 1 or more South, 15: 1 or higher, etc. In step 104, a plurality of oxidized emulsified layers are subsequently formed in the interior of the substrate as well as on other surfaces. The oxidized stone is deposited by reacting the oxygen-containing precursor with the stiletto precursor in the reaction chamber. Human 〆 'gas precursors may include oxygen atoms generated at the distal end of the sink. Oxygen atoms ', j are produced by dissociation of the following precursors, such as oxygen (0 2), ozone (〇), 氡 &3; gas compounds (for example, one 200807558 nitrogen "NO", nitrogen dioxide" N〇2", nitrous oxide "N20", etc.), hydroxide (for example, water "H2", hydrogen peroxide ":H202", etc.), carbon oxides (for example, carbon monoxide "CO", carbon dioxide "c〇2", etc.) and other combinations of oxygen-containing precursors and the aforementioned precursors.

Plasma dissociation involves the blasting of plasma by helium, argon, etc. in the far-end plasma generating chamber, and directing the oxygen precursor to the plasma to produce an oxygen atom precursor. First, oxygen atoms are directed into the organic ruthenium precursor in the chamber. The organophysical precursor may include a compound having a direct cerium-carbon bond and/or a compound of a stagnation-oxygen-carbon ruthenium. Examples of the oxime precursor of the organic decane include dimethylsilane, trimethylsilane, tetramethyl silane, diethyl si lane, and four. Tetramethylorthosilicate (TMOS), tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), octamethyltrisiloxane (QMTS), octamethy Icyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS), IV Tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (TOMCATS), dimethydidisilane (DMDMOS), dietlioxymethylsilane (DEMS), methyltriethoxysulfonium (methyl triethoy silane, MTES), phenyldimethylsilane, phenylsilane, and the like. The organolithic precursor can be mixed with a carrier gas prior to introduction into the deposition chamber or into the deposition chamber. The carrier gas is an inert gas that does not excessively interfere with the formation of an oxide film on the substrate. Examples of the carrier gas include helium, neon, argon and hydrogen gases. In the embodiment of the method 100, the oxygen atom and the organolithic precursor are not hidden together until after being introduced into the deposition chamber. The precursors enter the chamber via a spatially dispersed teleconverter entry port (dispersed around the reaction chamber). For example, the gas precursor precursor consists of a straight at the top of the chamber and directly above the substrate.

The inlet port directs the oxygen precursor stream in the direction of the deposition surface of the substrate. At the same time, the pre-existing material enters the chamber from the inlet of one or more of the side walls of the annular deposition chamber. Such an inlet port will point forward to a direction approximately parallel to the deposition surface. Additional embodiments include the transfer of gas and rare precursors via separate helium of a multi-head nozzle. For example, a showerhead positioned above the substrate can include a pattern in which a person allows the precursor to enter the opening of the deposition chamber. A portion of the opening is supplied with an oxygen atom precursor, and a second portion of the opening is supplied with a Zeolite precursor. The precursors that are transferred by the y-port openings are separated from each other and flowed straight into the deposition chamber. The essay on the form and design of the pre-emphasis processing equipment is described in the US Provisional Patent Application for Co-Transfer (case A011162/T72700), which is composed of B1 and 〇111^1^ The same date is referred to and named "Processing Chamber for Dielectric Clearing", which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. When oxygen atoms and ruthenium precursors react in the deposition chamber, they form a layer of ruthenium dioxide on the substrate deposition surface. The preliminary oxide layer has excellent flow properties so it can be quickly moved to the bottom of the gap in the structure on the surface of the substrate. 11 200807558 After deposition of each oxide layer 'will be performed - a residual step on the layer to remove impurities. This will involve dissociation of larger organic groups into smaller carbon-containing molecules' and at least dissociation of certain Si_0H (sterols) linkages to form water and ruthenium dioxide. After depositing and etching a plurality of ruthenium dioxide layers, an annealing treatment is performed to further remove moisture to convert the layer into a dense, high-quality oxide film. Examples include that all of the ruthenium dioxide layers have been deposited. An annealing treatment is performed after etching. Additional embodiments include a centralized annealing treatment prior to the formation of one or more layers. For example, after depositing a number of layers of 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., a central annealing treatment followed by a final annealing treatment of all layers can be performed. Referring now to Figure 2, there is shown a flow chart depicting a method 200 of fabricating a multilayer ceria film in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Method 2 includes introducing a precursor to a deposition chamber comprising a substrate (step 2〇2). As mentioned above, the precursors include an oxygen atom precursor and an organic ruthenium precursor. In a remote high-density electrical-monitor generator, RF power of 4000 to 6000 watts (eg, 55 watts) is supplied to the composite gas stream to produce oxygen atoms, the composite gas stream comprising argon (the flow rate thereof, for example From about 900 to about 1 800 seem) with oxygen (its flow rate, such as from about 600 to about 1200 seem). The organic ruthenium precursor is introduced into the deposition chamber by mixing an organic ruthenium compound (gas or liquid) with a carrier gas such as an atmosphere or hydrogen. For example, the ruthenium is allowed to pass through a room temperature liquid helium precursor (eg, octamethylcyclotetrazepine "OMCTS") at a flow rate of from about 6 Torr to about 2400 seem to provide a flow rate. 800 to about 1 600 mgm of octamethylcyclotetrazepine oxygen is supplied to the chamber. 12 200807558 Cavity to medium, the precursors react with each other to form a first oxide layer on the substrate (step 204). The overall pressure within the chamber during deposition of the oxide layer is, for example, from about 0.5 Torr to about 6 Torr. A higher overall pressure (for example, 1.3 Torr) will deposit a more flowable oxide layer, while a lower overall force (eg ' 〇·5 Torr) will deposit a higher degree of eonformai oxide layer. . Since the oxygen atom is a highly reactive species, the temperature in the reaction chamber is relatively low (e.g., about 100 ° C or lower). The oxide deposition rate is in the range of about 125 in. to about 2 ym per minute (e.g., between about 5 Å and about 3,000 amps per minute; about 1,500 Å per minute, etc.). The thickness of the oxide layer is about 50 Å. Up to about 500 people (eg, from about 100 A to about 200 A). After the first oxide layer is formed, the precursor stream is stopped from entering the chamber, and then the first oxide layer is left (step 2 〇 6). The scatter step can be used to dissociate and remove impurities within the layer and also to planarize the layer. As in the description of Fig. 3 that follows, the 'remaining processing' may include a one-remaining step or a multiple-money step I. After the first layer is engraved, 'the precursor is then reintroduced into the deposition chamber (step 2Ό8)' and then reacted to form a second oxide layer on the substrate (step 210). The second oxide layer can be in the first layer. Formed under the same reaction conditions' or formed under a different condition (such as chamber pressure, temperature, organic ruthenium precursor, etc.). Once the second layer has been formed, it is also etched (step 212) to reduce and/or planarize the layer.

Method 3 includes providing a substrate to the reaction chamber (step 3〇2), and then introducing a precursor (such as oxygen and a ruthenium precursor) into the reaction chamber (step 3 〇 4): then the precursor starts to react A layer of ruthenium dioxide is formed on the substrate (step 3〇6), which layer undergoes a two-stage characterization. A two-stage engraving is initiated by performing a first etch on the oxide layer (step 308). This first etch involves the use of a lower density plasma to dissociate the larger organic groups and remove at least a portion of the carbon in the layer. This lower density plasma etch includes the production of an argon/oxygen plasma with a etched oxide layer using a remote power supply (Rps) system. The etching environment includes, for example, blowing plasma at a flow rate of 1600 secm of oxygen and 400 sccm of argon at a power of about 5,500 watts, and introducing the plasma into a deposition chamber having a pressure of about 76 Å. This plasma etching process dissociates larger carbon groups and removes carbon impurities from the oxide layer. After the first pass, a second etch of the oxide layer (step 310) is then performed at a higher plasma density to remove at least a portion of the 14 200807558 hydroxyl groups in the layer. Such higher density plasma etching involves exposing the layer to a plasma formed to dissociate a stream of oxygen molecules (e.g., 600 seem) in a high power RF field (e.g., 6 watts). Oxygen can be electropolymerized into a deposition chamber (whose pressure, e.g., about 8 mTorr) and then reacted with a hydroxyl group (_hh group) of the oxide layer t to form a dioxide dioxide and water.

The deposited and etched oxide layer is then promoted until a predetermined number of layers and/or salt film thickness is reached, after which the plurality of oxide layers are annealed (step 314). The annealing process can be performed in a single step or in multiple steps. For example, by heating a plurality of oxide layers in substantially dry air (such as dry nitrogen, helium, argon, etc.) to about 3Q (rc to about i 〇〇〇. A single step of annealing is performed at a temperature (for example, between about 600 ° C and about 900 ° C.) The annealing treatment removes moisture from the deposited layer and further converts the Si 醇 ( i Ο Η ) group into The multi-step annealing treatment includes a two-step annealing treatment in which the layer is initially subjected to a wet annealing stage, for example, heating the layer in the presence of steam to about 700 ° C (for example) This can be followed by a dry annealing stage in which the layer is heated to a temperature of two more (for example, about 9 q 〇) in a substantially moisture-free atmosphere (eg, dry gas). Preliminary wet annealing It helps to hydrolyze the ruthenium carbon (Si-C) bond to a sterol (Si-OH) bond, while the dry anneal process converts the sterol bond (Si-0H) into a ruthenium dioxide bond and rushes from the layer Water is removed. In addition to the wet chamber and dry thermal annealing, other annealing techniques can be applied ( The plurality of oxide layers are annealed individually or in combination. These annealing techniques 15 200807558 include steam annealing, plasma annealing, ultraviolet annealing, electron beam annealing, and/or microwave annealing, etc. Now, Fig. 4, A flow chart describing a method of fabricating a multi-type oxidized oxide film according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Method 4 includes providing a substrate to a deposition chamber (step 4〇2), and then introducing a precursor ( For example, an oxygen atom and an organic cerium heptasome are introduced into the chamber (step 4〇4). The precursor is reacted to form a ruthenium oxide layer on the substrate (step 4〇6), and then the oxide layer is etched (step 408) At this moment, a check is performed to determine whether the accumulated thickness of the deposited oxide layer has reached a predetermined point (step 41〇). If the preset thickness of the overall oxide film has been reached, the deposition will stop. Etching cycle, then annealing the film (step 412). However, if the pre-thickness has not been reached, then another deposition and residual cycle will occur to add at least one or more additional layers to the oxidation. Determining whether the oxide film has reached a predetermined thickness can be performed by measuring the thickness of the deposited layer and the remaining layer; or calculating π ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ' to the desired thickness The number of layers required. For example, suppose the thickness of each deposited and etched layer is 100A, and the desired film thickness is 麻······························· Membrane. The thickness of each deposited crucible can be set by adjusting the parameters affecting the oxide deposition rate, such as the type and flow rate of the reaction precursor, the overall pressure M in the deposition chamber, and the temperature. As mentioned above, a typical oxide layer deposition rate is from about 5 Å to about 3 Å per minute (e.g., about 15 〇〇 α per minute), and the fifth AF map shows a substrate having a gap structure, utilizing Dodd gas production 16 200807558 The deposition-etching oxide layer formation process of the sigh blanket, the multilayer oxide film gradually fills the gap.

In general, the supply lines for each process gas include (1) a plurality of safety latching valves (not shown) that can be used to automatically or manually shut off process gas flow into the chamber, and (ii) mass flow controllers. ) (also not shown), which measures the flow of gas through the supply line. When a toxic gas is used for treatment, a plurality of safety latching valves are placed in each gas supply line in a conventional configuration. The deposition process performed in the chemical vapor deposition system 10 may be thermal energy processing or plasma assisted processing. In the plasma assisted process, the RF power supply 44 applies electrical power between the gas distribution panel 13a and the base 12 to activate the process gas mixture to form a plasma in the cylindrical region between the face plate 13a and the base 12. This area will be referred to herein as the "reaction area." The composition of the plasma is reacted to deposit the desired film on the surface of the semiconductor wafer (supported on the base 12). The RF power supply 44 is a hybrid RF power supply that typically provides a high RF frequency of 13.56 MHz and a low RF frequency of 360 kHz to aid in the decomposition of the reactants introduced into the vacuum chamber 15. In the thermal energy treatment, the RF power supply 44 is not used, and the treatment gas mixture is subjected to thermal energy reaction to deposit the desired film on the surface of the semiconductor crystal 19 200807558 (supported on the base 12), and the base is heat resistant. Provide heat for the reaction. During the plasma assisted deposition process, the plasma heats the overall processing chamber 1 , which includes the discharge passage 23 and the chamber wall 15 a of the chamber body surrounding the latching valve 24. When the electropolymerization is not initiated or during the thermal energy deposition process, hot liquid is circulated throughout the chamber wall 15 a of the processing chamber 15 to maintain the chamber at a high temperature. The passage of the rest of the wall 1 5 a is not shown. The liquid used to heat the chamber wall 1 $ a includes a typical liquid type, i.e., aqueous glycol or oily thermal energy transfer liquid. This type of heating (referring to the "heat energy exchange" to force σ heat) is beneficial to reduce or eliminate the condensation of unwanted reaction products, and to enhance the volatile products of the exhausted process gas and other contaminants that may contaminate the treatment ( If these substances condense on the walls of the cold vacuum channel and flow back into the processing chamber when no gas flows. The remaining gas mixture (which includes the reaction by-products) which is not deposited in the layer is discharged outside the chamber 15 by a vacuum pump (not shown). Specifically, the gas is discharged through the ring-shaped, slit-like opening 16 around the reaction zone, and then enters the annular discharge chamber 17. The annular slit 16 and the discharge chamber 17 are defined by a gap between the top end ' of the cylindrical side wall i5a of the chamber (including the higher dielectric liner 9 on the chamber wall) and the bottom of the annular chamber cover 2'. 360. The ring-shaped symmetrical and uniform slit opening 16 and the discharge chamber 17 are important for achieving a uniform flow on the wafer (to deposit a uniform film on the wafer). From the 'outlet chamber', the gas flows into the laterally extending portion 21' of the discharge chamber 17 through the viewing hole, through the downwardly extending gas passage 23' through the vacuum lock valve 24 (the body is incorporated into the lower portion) The cavity wall 20 200807558)) then enters the discharge port 25, which is connected to an external vacuum pump (also not shown) via a foreline (not shown). The wafer support plate of the base 12 (best material) Heat resistant to aluminum, ceramic or a combination thereof, which utilizes an embedded single-ring embedded heating element to heat the heating element in two parallel circles arranged in parallel concentric circles. The outer portion of the heating element is located adjacent to the support plate The inner portion is on a concentric circular path with a smaller diameter. The line connecting the heating elements passes through the main pole of the base 12. In general, any or all of the chamber liners, gases enter the manifold panel, and The hardware of many other reactors is made of materials such as aluminum, electroplating or ceramics. An example of such a chemical vapor deposition apparatus is described in terms of co-management by Zhao et al.

Processors include single-borad computers (SBCs), analog and digital input/output boards, interface panels, and stepper motor controller boards. Many parts of the chemical vapor deposition system comply with the Versa Modular European (VME) standard (which defines the size and type of motherboard, card slot and connector). The VME standard also defines a busbar structure with a 16-bit data bus and a 24-bit address bus. System controller 34 regulates all activities of the chemical vapor deposition apparatus. The system controller executes the system control software, which is a computer program stored on a computer readable medium (e.g., memory 38). The memory 38 is preferably a hard disk, but the memory 38 can also be other types of memory. The computer program includes an instruction set that sets the following parameters: time, mixed gas, chamber pressure, chamber temperature, RF power intensity, heated substrate position, and other parameters for specific processing. Other computer programs stored in other memory components, including, for example, floppy disks or other suitable devices, can also be used to operate the controller 34. The processing of depositing a film on the substrate or cleaning the chamber 15 can be performed using a computer program product (performed by the controller 34). Computer program code can be written in any conventional computer readable programming language: for example, 68000 assembly language, C, C++, Pascal, Fortran, or others. Use a conventional file editor to input the appropriate program code into a single file or multiple files, and store it in or on a computer usable medium, such as a computer's memory system. 22 200807558 If the input code The file is a high-level language, then the code is compiled, and the synthesized code is then linked to the object code of the pre-compiled Microsoft Window® library routines. In order to execute the linked, compiled object code, the system user wants the destination code to cause the computer system to read the code in the memory. The central processing unit (CPU) then reads and performs the work identified in the coded completion program. The interface between the user and the controller 34 is displayed via a cathode ray tube

The mixing device 70 is coupled to the upstream end of the gas distribution manifold 11 (Fig. 6A). Mixing device 70 includes a hybrid insert 72 disposed within slit 74 of the mixing barrier (for mixing the process gas). The ceramic insulator 66 is placed between the erecting adapter 64 and the mixing device 70 (Fig. 6A). The ceramic insulator 66 can be made of a ceramic material such as alumina (purity 99%), Teflon®, or the like. When installed, the mixing device 70 and the ceramic insulator 66 will form part of the chamber cover fitting 15b. Insulator 66 isolates metal bonder 64 from mixing device 70 and gas distribution manifold 好 to reduce the likelihood of a second plasma formation in chamber cover fitting 15b (described in more detail below). The three-way port 77 does not regulate the flow of process gas into the process chamber 15 either directly or via the remote plasma generator 60. It is appreciated that the remote beam generator 60 is a compact, self-regulating assembly that can be conveniently mounted to the chamber cover assembly 15 b and can be easily retrofitted to an existing chamber without the need for costly and time consuming Modifications. One suitable component is the ASTRON® generator (Applied Science and Technology, Inc., Woburn, Mass). The ASTRON positive generator utilizes a low-field toroidal plasma to dissociate the process gas. In one example, the plasma dissociates the process gas, which includes a fluorine-containing gas (such as nitrogen trifluoride "NF3") and a carrier gas (such as argon) to produce free fluorine, and the free dispersion can be used for clean deposition. A number of embodiments have been described in the processing of the membranes in the chamber 15.
