Description

裝置之製造方法 Device manufacturing method

本發明係關於裝置之製造方法,尤其關於電荷捕獲型NAND快閃記憶體裝置之製造方法。 The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a device, and more particularly to a method of fabricating a charge trapping NAND flash memory device.

近年來,NAND型快閃記憶體被實用化,以作為大容量半導體記憶裝置。NAND型快閃記憶體有浮動閘型和電荷捕獲型之兩種類型。例如在專利文獻1揭示有浮動閘型快閃記憶體。再者,例如在專利文獻2或3揭示有電荷捕獲型快閃記憶體。並且,在專利文獻4揭示有也在突出形成之元件分離絕緣膜之側面上形成電荷捕獲層的快閃記憶體裝置和其製造方法。 In recent years, NAND type flash memory has been put into practical use as a large-capacity semiconductor memory device. NAND type flash memory has two types of floating gate type and charge trap type. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a floating gate type flash memory. Further, for example, Patent Document 2 or 3 discloses a charge trap type flash memory. Further, Patent Document 4 discloses a flash memory device in which a charge trap layer is formed on the side surface of the element-separating insulating film which is formed in a protruding manner, and a method of manufacturing the same.

就快閃記憶體裝置之微細化而言,以電荷捕獲型較浮動閘型更適合。為了實現電荷捕獲型快閃記憶體裝置之更微細化,揭示在專利文獻4之快閃記憶體裝置中,使元件分離絕緣膜突出至較半導體基板之上面更上方,並使形成在活性區域上之電荷捕獲層延伸至其突出部之側面。 In terms of miniaturization of the flash memory device, the charge trapping type is more suitable than the floating gate type. In order to achieve further miniaturization of the charge trap type flash memory device, it is disclosed that in the flash memory device of Patent Document 4, the element isolation insulating film is protruded above the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate and formed on the active region. The charge trap layer extends to the side of its projection.

電荷捕獲層之形成係於在全面形成成為電荷捕獲層之絕緣膜之後,藉由以將電荷捕獲層分離成每單元之方式,進行回蝕而被進行。此時,從較元件分離絕緣膜之突出部更上面側蝕刻,減少其高度。被形成在元件分離區域之突出部之側面的電荷捕獲層之高度(側緣部之高度)與元件分離區域之突出部之高度一致。 The formation of the charge trap layer is performed by performing etch back by separating the charge trap layer into each unit after the entire formation of the charge film as the charge trap layer. At this time, the protrusion from the element-separating insulating film is etched from the upper side to reduce the height thereof. The height (the height of the side edge portion) of the charge trap layer formed on the side of the protruding portion of the element isolation region coincides with the height of the protruding portion of the element isolation region.

在此,電荷捕獲層之側緣部之高度對記憶體單元之特性影響很大。因此,電荷捕獲層之回蝕必須進行成側緣部之高度成為既定之高度。 Here, the height of the side edge portion of the charge trap layer greatly affects the characteristics of the memory cell. Therefore, the etch back of the charge trap layer must be such that the height of the side edge portion becomes a predetermined height.

但是,在相關的半導體裝置之製造方法中,係藉由時間控制進行回蝕。因此,當回蝕前之元件分離絕緣膜之突出部之高度由於偏差等變動時,蝕刻後之突出部 之高度以及電荷捕獲層之側緣部之高度也變動。其結果,有無法安定地製造持有期待特性之半導體裝置的問題點。 However, in the method of manufacturing a related semiconductor device, etch back is performed by time control. Therefore, when the height of the protruding portion of the element isolation insulating film before the etch back varies due to variations or the like, the protruding portion after etching The height and the height of the side edge portion of the charge trap layer also vary. As a result, there is a problem that the semiconductor device having the desired characteristics cannot be stably manufactured.

與本發明之一實施型態有關之裝置之製造方法之特徵在於包含:形成具有突出至較半導體基板之上面更上方之突出部的複數元件分離區域,並在鄰接的上述突出部之間形成第1凹部的工程;以覆蓋上述第1凹部之底面和上述突出部之側面及上面之方式,疊層形成電荷捕獲層及保護絕緣膜,並在上述第1凹部內形成以上述保護絕緣膜所構成之第2凹部之工程;以埋設上述第2凹部之方式,全面形成犧牲膜之工程;及使用乾蝕刻法,蝕刻除去上述犧牲膜、上述保護絕緣膜、上述電荷捕獲層及上述突出部至上述第2凹部之底面即是上述保護絕緣膜之表面露出為止的工程。 A method of manufacturing a device according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized by comprising: forming a plurality of element isolation regions having protrusions protruding above the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate, and forming a first portion between the adjacent protrusions a recessed portion; a charge trap layer and a protective insulating film are laminated to cover a bottom surface of the first recess and a side surface and an upper surface of the protruding portion, and the protective insulating film is formed in the first recess The second concave portion is formed; the sacrificial film is entirely formed by embedding the second concave portion; and the sacrificial film, the protective insulating film, the charge trap layer, and the protruding portion are removed by etching using a dry etching method. The bottom surface of the second recess is a process until the surface of the protective insulating film is exposed.

若藉由本發明,在形成於鄰接之元件分離區域之突出部之間的第1凹部內,疊層形成電荷捕獲層及保護絕緣膜而形成第2凹部。再者,形成埋設第2凹部之犧牲膜。然後,藉由乾蝕刻除去犧牲膜、保護絕緣膜、電荷捕獲層及突出部直至第2凹部之底面即是保護絕緣膜之表面露出為止。依此,不會依存於乾蝕刻前之突出部之高度,可以控制形成在突出部之側面之電荷捕獲層之側緣的 高度,並可以安定地製造持有期待特性的裝置。 According to the invention, the second concave portion is formed by laminating the charge trap layer and the protective insulating film in the first recess formed between the protruding portions of the adjacent element isolation regions. Further, a sacrificial film in which the second concave portion is buried is formed. Then, the sacrificial film, the protective insulating film, the charge trap layer, and the protruding portion are removed by dry etching until the bottom surface of the second recess is the surface of the protective insulating film. Accordingly, the height of the protrusion before the dry etching is not dependent, and the side edge of the charge trap layer formed on the side of the protrusion can be controlled. Height, and can safely manufacture devices with expected characteristics.

於針對本發明之實施型態進行說明前,針對發明者研究出之比較例進行說明,使本發明所欲解決之課題更為明確。並且,在此作為半導體裝置,假設電荷捕獲型NAND快閃非揮發記憶體(以下,稱為CT型記憶體)。 Before explaining the embodiments of the present invention, the comparative examples studied by the inventors will be described, and the problems to be solved by the present invention will be more clearly defined. Further, here, as the semiconductor device, a charge trap type NAND flash nonvolatile memory (hereinafter referred to as a CT type memory) is assumed.

(比較例) (Comparative example)

為了實現CT型記憶體之微細化,進行形成一部分突出至較半導體基板之上面更上方之元件分離絕緣膜,並利用元件分離絕緣膜之突出部的側面而構成記憶體單元(參照專利文獻4)。 In order to achieve the miniaturization of the CT-type memory, a part of the insulating film is formed so as to protrude above the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the memory cell is formed by separating the side faces of the protruding portions of the insulating film (see Patent Document 4). .

如此之構成中之電荷捕獲層之形成係在包含元件分離絕緣膜之突出部之上面及側面的全面,疊層形成成為電荷捕獲層之絕緣膜,例如SiRN(Silicon Rich Nitride)膜,和保護絕緣膜之後,進行回蝕,藉由除去不需要部分而進行。 The charge trapping layer in such a configuration is formed on the upper surface and the side surface of the protruding portion including the element isolation insulating film, and the interlayer is formed as an insulating film of a charge trap layer, such as a SiRN (Silicon Rich Nitride) film, and protective insulation. After the film, etch back is performed by removing unnecessary portions.

圖1為表示與比較例有關之半導體裝置之製造途中之狀態的剖面圖。具體而言,表示至在保護絕緣膜8上形成被回蝕利用之犧牲膜9結束之狀態。如圖示般,被形成在半導體基板1之溝槽1b係經墊氧化膜4a而以元件分離絕緣膜2a被埋設。元件分離絕緣膜2a之一部分係突出較半導體基板1之上面1a更上方。再者,在半導體基板1之上面形成底部氧化矽膜(底部絕緣膜)6。並且,以覆蓋底部氧化矽膜6和元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出 部2b之上面2c及側面2d之方式,疊層形成成為電荷捕獲層7之SiRN(Silicon Rich Nitride)膜和保護絕緣膜8。除此之外,塗佈形成覆蓋保護絕緣膜8之犧牲膜9。 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in the middle of manufacture of a semiconductor device according to a comparative example. Specifically, a state in which the sacrificial film 9 used for etchback is formed on the protective insulating film 8 is completed. As shown in the figure, the trench 1b formed in the semiconductor substrate 1 is buried in the element isolation insulating film 2a via the pad oxide film 4a. One portion of the element isolation insulating film 2a protrudes above the upper surface 1a of the semiconductor substrate 1. Further, a bottom yttrium oxide film (bottom insulating film) 6 is formed on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 1. And, to cover the protrusion of the bottom yttrium oxide film 6 and the element isolation insulating film 2a On the upper surface 2c and the side surface 2d of the portion 2b, a SiRN (Silicon Rich Nitride) film and a protective insulating film 8 serving as the charge trap layer 7 are laminated. In addition to this, the sacrificial film 9 covering the protective insulating film 8 is formed by coating.

回蝕使用乾蝕刻法係以犧牲膜9、保護絕緣膜8、電荷捕獲層7及元件分離絕緣膜2a之蝕刻率完全相等之條件來進行。該回蝕係由將元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之上面2c設為終點之第1蝕刻,和事先設定之固定時間之第2蝕刻(過蝕刻)所構成。過蝕刻係以調節被形成在電荷捕獲層7之元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之側面2d上之部分(側緣部7a,參照圖2)之高度的目的而進行。 The etch back is performed using the dry etching method under the conditions that the etching rates of the sacrificial film 9, the protective insulating film 8, the charge trap layer 7, and the element isolation insulating film 2a are completely equal. This etchback is composed of a first etching in which the upper surface 2c of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a is the end point, and a second etching (over etching) having a fixed time set in advance. The over-etching is performed for the purpose of adjusting the height of the portion (side edge portion 7a, see FIG. 2) formed on the side surface 2d of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a of the charge trap layer 7.

圖1係表示元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度為H1-1[nm]之情形。此時,藉由上述回蝕,元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度如圖2所示般減少至H2-1(<H1-1)[nm]。並且,圖2表示於回蝕工程之後,全部除去犧牲膜9之狀態。 Fig. 1 shows a case where the height of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a is H1-1 [nm]. At this time, the height of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a is reduced to H2-1 (<H1-1) [nm] as shown in FIG. 2 by the above etching. Further, Fig. 2 shows a state in which all of the sacrificial film 9 is removed after the etch back process.

另外,圖3係表示元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度為H1-2(<H1-1)[nm]之情形。此時,藉由上述回蝕,元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度如圖4所示般減少至H2-2(<H2-1)[nm]。並且,圖4表示於回蝕工程之後,全部除去犧牲膜9之狀態。 In addition, FIG. 3 shows a case where the height of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a is H1-2 (<H1-1) [nm]. At this time, the height of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a is reduced to H2-2 (<H2-1) [nm] as shown in FIG. 4 by the above etching. 4 shows the state in which all of the sacrificial film 9 is removed after the etch back process.

在此,成為H2-2[nm]<H2-1[nm]之理由係根據經過時間控制終點檢測後所進行之過蝕刻,僅在事先設定之固定時間進行之故。即是,在通常之半導體裝置之製造 工程中,就以回蝕前之元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度與目標值H1T一致者而言,過蝕刻時間被設定之故。因為,由於製造偏差,使得回蝕前之元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度高或低於目標值H1T之情況下,回蝕後之元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度也從目標值H2T偏離。其結果,被形成在元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之側面2b的電荷捕獲層7之側緣部7a之高度WH也從目標值WHT偏離。 Here, the reason for the fact that H2-2 [nm] < H2-1 [nm] is based on the over-etching performed after the detection of the elapsed time control end point is performed only at a fixed time set in advance. That is, in the manufacture of a typical semiconductor device In the process, the overetching time is set such that the height of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a before the etch back coincides with the target value H1T. Since the height of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a before the etch back is high or lower than the target value H1T due to the manufacturing variation, the height of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a after the etch back is also The target value H2T deviates. As a result, the height WH of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer 7 formed on the side surface 2b of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a is also deviated from the target value WHT.

電荷捕獲層7之側緣部7a之高度WH被半導體元件之特性造成影響。具體而言,當電荷捕獲層7之側緣部7a之高度WH變高時,記憶資料之消去所需的時間變長。再者,當電荷捕獲層7之側緣部7a之高度WH變低時,資料之寫入所需的時間變長。 The height WH of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer 7 is affected by the characteristics of the semiconductor element. Specifically, when the height WH of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer 7 becomes high, the time required for erasing the memory data becomes long. Further, when the height WH of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer 7 becomes low, the time required for writing of the material becomes long.

電荷捕獲層7之側緣部7a之高度WH係斟酌資料之寫入所需之時間和消去所需之時間,儘量使半導體裝置全體的動作速度設定成較高。但是,在上述半導體裝置之製造方法中,電荷捕獲層7之側緣部7a之高度WH係依存於回蝕前之元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度。除此之外,難以消除回蝕前之元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度的偏差。於是,要求不會依存於回蝕前之元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度,可以使電荷捕獲層7之側緣部7a之高度WH與目標值WHT一致之半導體裝置之製造方法。 The height WH of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer 7 is determined by the time required for writing the data and the time required for erasing, and the operating speed of the entire semiconductor device is set to be as high as possible. However, in the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device described above, the height WH of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer 7 depends on the height of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a before etch back. In addition to this, it is difficult to eliminate the variation in the height of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a before the etch back. Then, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device in which the height WH of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer 7 and the target value WHT can be made uniform without depending on the height of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a before the etch back is required.

(第1實施型態) (first embodiment) 接著,參照圖5至圖12,針對與本發明之第1實施型態有關之裝置之製造方法予以說明。 Next, a method of manufacturing the apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 5 to 12 .

圖5為表示與本實施型態有關之裝置(半導體裝置)100之一部分,具體而言為表示CT型記憶體之單元部(之一部分)的俯視圖,圖6為其A-A’線剖面圖。 Fig. 5 is a partial plan view showing a part (semiconductor unit) 100 of the CT type memory, and Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A' thereof. .

當參照圖5時,半導體裝置100包含與在X方向連續延伸之複數元件分離區域2相同在X方向連續延伸之複數的活性區域3。複數之元件分離區域2和複數之活性區域3係以等間隔並且等間距交互地配置在Y方向。 Referring to FIG. 5, the semiconductor device 100 includes a plurality of active regions 3 extending in the X direction in the same manner as the plurality of element isolation regions 2 extending continuously in the X direction. The plurality of element separation regions 2 and the plurality of active regions 3 are alternately arranged in the Y direction at equal intervals and at equal intervals.

跨越複數之元件分離區域2及複數之活性區域3,在Y方向連續延伸之複數之字元線(核心閘極電極)21以等間隔且等間距地被配置在X方向。 A plurality of element lines (core gate electrodes) 21 extending continuously in the Y direction are arranged at equal intervals and at equal intervals in the X direction across the plurality of element isolation regions 2 and the plurality of active regions 3.

活性區域3藉由接觸件16與無圖示之金屬配線連接。 The active region 3 is connected to a metal wiring (not shown) by a contact member 16.

接著,當參照圖6時,在半導體基板1形成元件分離用之溝槽1b。在構成溝槽1b之底面及側面之半導體基板1之表面形成墊氧化膜4a。在底面及側面形成有墊氧化膜4a之溝槽1b埋入有元件分離絕緣膜2a。如此一來,形成在複數之溝槽1b分別埋入元件分離絕緣膜2a之元件分離區域2。再者,藉由元件分離區域2之形成,在半導體基板1規定活性區域3。 Next, referring to FIG. 6, the trench 1b for element isolation is formed on the semiconductor substrate 1. A pad oxide film 4a is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 constituting the bottom surface and the side surface of the trench 1b. The element isolation insulating film 2a is buried in the trench 1b in which the pad oxide film 4a is formed on the bottom surface and the side surface. As a result, the plurality of trenches 1b are buried in the element isolation region 2 of the element isolation insulating film 2a. Further, the active region 3 is defined on the semiconductor substrate 1 by the formation of the element isolation region 2.

元件分離絕緣膜2a被形成其上部較半導體基 板1之上面1a更突出上方。元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度H2[nm]有由於製造偏差與目標值H2T不同之情形。目標值H2T考慮所取得之半導體裝置100之寫入特性及消去特性而設定成適當之值。 The element isolation insulating film 2a is formed on the upper portion thereof than the semiconductor substrate The upper surface 1a of the board 1 is more prominent above. The height H2 [nm] of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a is different from the target value H2T due to the manufacturing variation. The target value H2T is set to an appropriate value in consideration of the write characteristics and erasing characteristics of the obtained semiconductor device 100.

在半導體基板1之活性區域3之上面形成底部氧化矽膜6。再者,以覆蓋底部氧化矽膜6之上面和突出部2b之上面2c及側面2d之方式,形成成為電荷蓄積層之電荷捕獲層7。並且,以覆蓋電荷捕獲層7之表面之方式,形成頂部氧化矽膜(晶片絕緣膜)10。藉由底部氧化矽膜6、電荷捕獲層7及頂部氧化矽膜10之疊層構造,構成ONO(氧化膜-氮化膜-氧化膜)閘極絕緣膜20。 A bottom yttrium oxide film 6 is formed on the active region 3 of the semiconductor substrate 1. Further, a charge trap layer 7 serving as a charge storage layer is formed so as to cover the upper surface of the bottom yttrium oxide film 6 and the upper surface 2c and the side surface 2d of the protruding portion 2b. Further, a top yttrium oxide film (wafer insulating film) 10 is formed so as to cover the surface of the charge trap layer 7. The ONO (oxide film-nitride film-oxide film) gate insulating film 20 is formed by a laminated structure of the bottom oxide film 6, the charge trap layer 7, and the top oxide film 10.

在ONO閘極絕緣膜20及元件分離絕緣膜2a上形成有屬於導電層之多晶矽層11。在多晶矽層11上形成使用鎳等之矽化物層12。以多晶矽層11和矽化物層12構成核心閘極電極(字元線)21。 A polysilicon layer 11 belonging to a conductive layer is formed on the ONO gate insulating film 20 and the element isolation insulating film 2a. A vaporized layer 12 using nickel or the like is formed on the polysilicon layer 11. The core gate electrode (character line) 21 is formed by the polysilicon layer 11 and the germanide layer 12.

以覆蓋核心閘極電極21之方式,形成氮化矽膜13。再者,以覆蓋氮化矽膜13之方式,形成層間絕緣膜14。在層間絕緣膜14之上部形成金屬配線15。金屬配線15被形成掩埋以貫通層間絕緣膜14及氮化矽膜13之方式被形成的觸孔(無圖示)。即是,金屬配線15和接觸件16(圖5)係以相同工程所形成。接觸件16係被連接於形成在活性區域之選擇電晶體(無圖示)。 A tantalum nitride film 13 is formed in such a manner as to cover the core gate electrode 21. Further, the interlayer insulating film 14 is formed to cover the tantalum nitride film 13. A metal wiring 15 is formed on the upper portion of the interlayer insulating film 14. The metal wiring 15 is formed with a contact hole (not shown) that is formed to penetrate the interlayer insulating film 14 and the tantalum nitride film 13. That is, the metal wiring 15 and the contact 16 (Fig. 5) are formed by the same process. The contact 16 is connected to a selective transistor (not shown) formed in the active region.

以下,參照圖7~圖12,針對圖5~圖6所示之 半導體裝置100之製造方法予以說明。圖7~圖12為表示半導體裝置100之製造途中之狀態的圖示,為對應於圖1中之A-A’線之位置的剖面圖。 Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 7 to FIG. 12, FIG. 5 to FIG. A method of manufacturing the semiconductor device 100 will be described. 7 to 12 are views showing a state in the middle of the manufacture of the semiconductor device 100, and are cross-sectional views corresponding to the position of the line A-A' in Fig. 1.

首先,如圖7所示般,在半導體基板1之上面形成膜厚T1[nm]之墊氧化膜4。接著,在所形成之墊氧化膜4上堆積氮化矽膜5,並將堆積之氮化矽膜5圖案製作成既定之圖案。既定之圖案在此係寬度及間距皆設為W[nm]之線與間隔圖案。接著,當圖案製作之氮化矽膜5當作硬遮罩使用,藉由眾知的STI(Shallow Trench Isolation)法形成元件分離區域2。即是,在半導體基板1形成溝槽1b,並在其內表面形成墊氧化膜4a。然後,在由氧化矽膜所構成之元件分離絕緣膜2a埋設溝槽1b和硬遮罩之開口部。 First, as shown in FIG. 7, a pad oxide film 4 having a film thickness T1 [nm] is formed on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 1. Next, a tantalum nitride film 5 is deposited on the formed pad oxide film 4, and the deposited tantalum nitride film 5 is patterned into a predetermined pattern. The width and spacing of the predetermined pattern are set to the line and space pattern of W[nm]. Next, when the patterned tantalum nitride film 5 is used as a hard mask, the element isolation region 2 is formed by a well-known STI (Shallow Trench Isolation) method. That is, the trench 1b is formed on the semiconductor substrate 1, and the pad oxide film 4a is formed on the inner surface thereof. Then, the trench 1b and the opening of the hard mask are buried in the element isolation insulating film 2a composed of the hafnium oxide film.

藉由元件分離區域2之形成,在半導體基板1規定活性區域3。元件分離區域2及活性區域3之寬度皆成為W[nm]。 The active region 3 is defined on the semiconductor substrate 1 by the formation of the element isolation region 2. The widths of the element isolation region 2 and the active region 3 are both W [nm].

接著,如圖8所示般,依序除去由氮化矽膜5所構成之硬遮罩及墊氧化膜4。氮化矽膜5之除去可以藉由將半導體基板1浸漬在熱磷酸溶液而進行。再者,墊氧化膜4之除去可以藉由將半導體基板1浸漬在氫氟酸水溶液而進行。 Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the hard mask and the pad oxide film 4 composed of the tantalum nitride film 5 are sequentially removed. The removal of the tantalum nitride film 5 can be performed by immersing the semiconductor substrate 1 in a hot phosphoric acid solution. Further, the removal of the pad oxide film 4 can be performed by immersing the semiconductor substrate 1 in a hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution.

於除去墊氧化膜4之時,與墊氧化膜相同也蝕刻由氧化矽膜所構成之元件分離絕緣膜2a之露出部分。即是,較半導體基板1之上面1a更突出至上方之元 件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b,在圖8之左右方向,僅有與墊氧化膜4之膜厚T1[nm]之部分被側蝕刻。其結果,突出部2b之寬度W1成為W1=W-2‧T1[nm]。再者,突出部2b之高度成為H1[nm]。然後,在鄰接之突出部2b彼此之間,形成寬度W2=W+2‧T1[nm]之第1凹部23。 When the pad oxide film 4 is removed, the exposed portion of the element isolation insulating film 2a composed of the hafnium oxide film is also etched in the same manner as the pad oxide film. That is, it is more prominent to the upper side than the upper surface 1a of the semiconductor substrate 1. In the protruding portion 2b of the insulating film 2a, only the portion of the film thickness T1 [nm] of the pad oxide film 4 is side-etched in the left-right direction of FIG. As a result, the width W1 of the protruding portion 2b becomes W1 = W - 2‧ T1 [nm]. Furthermore, the height of the protruding portion 2b becomes H1 [nm]. Then, a first recess 23 having a width W2 = W + 2‧ T1 [nm] is formed between the adjacent protruding portions 2b.

接著,如圖9所示般,在半導體基板1之上面1a形成底部氧化矽膜6。接著,以覆蓋底部氧化矽膜6和突出部2b之上面2c及側面2d之方式,形成成為電荷蓄積層之電荷捕獲層7。並且,以覆蓋電荷捕獲層7之方式,形成保護絕緣膜8。該些膜及層之形成係進行成底部氧化矽膜6和電荷捕獲層7和保護絕緣膜8之合計之膜厚(以下,單稱為合計之膜厚)T2[nm],與半導體裝置100完成時之電荷捕獲層之側緣部7a之高度目標值WHT[nm]一致。在此,電荷捕獲層7之側緣部7a之高度目標值WHT[nm],考慮半導體裝置100之寫入及消去特性而決定。 Next, as shown in FIG. 9, a bottom yttrium oxide film 6 is formed on the upper surface 1a of the semiconductor substrate 1. Next, the charge trap layer 7 serving as a charge storage layer is formed so as to cover the bottom oxide film 6 and the upper surface 2c and the side surface 2d of the protruding portion 2b. Further, the protective insulating film 8 is formed to cover the charge trap layer 7. The film and the layer are formed by the total thickness of the bottom yttrium oxide film 6 and the charge trap layer 7 and the protective insulating film 8 (hereinafter, simply referred to as the total film thickness) T2 [nm], and the semiconductor device 100. The height target value WHT [nm] of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer at the time of completion is identical. Here, the height target value WHT [nm] of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer 7 is determined in consideration of the writing and erasing characteristics of the semiconductor device 100.

保護絕緣膜8之形成係以不完全埋入第1凹部23內之方式來進行。依此,在第1凹部23內形成藉由保護絕緣膜8所構成之第2凹部24。再者,如上述般,保護絕緣膜8之形成係以從成為第2凹部24之底面24a之保護絕緣膜8之表面8a之半導體基板1之上面1a的高度(合計之膜厚T2[nm]),與半導體裝置100完成時之電荷捕獲層之側緣部7a之高度目標值WHT[nm]一致之方式來進行。並且,因精度佳地控制保護絕緣膜8之膜厚, 故其成膜可以使用CVD法。 The formation of the protective insulating film 8 is performed so as not to be completely buried in the first recess 23 . Thereby, the second recess 24 formed of the protective insulating film 8 is formed in the first recess 23 . Further, as described above, the protective insulating film 8 is formed at a height from the upper surface 1a of the semiconductor substrate 1 which is the surface 8a of the protective insulating film 8 which becomes the bottom surface 24a of the second recess 24 (total film thickness T2 [nm] It is performed so as to match the height target value WHT [nm] of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer when the semiconductor device 100 is completed. Further, since the film thickness of the protective insulating film 8 is controlled with high precision, Therefore, the film formation can be performed by a CVD method.

在此,因可在第1凹部23內形成第2凹部24,故墊氧化膜4之膜厚T1[nm]必須設定成滿足W2(=W+2‧T1)>2‧T2[nm]及W>2‧T1[nm]。再者,突出部2b之高度H2必須設為滿足H1>H2[nm]。 Here, since the second concave portion 24 can be formed in the first concave portion 23, the film thickness T1 [nm] of the pad oxide film 4 must be set to satisfy W2 (= W + 2‧ T1) > 2‧ T2 [nm] and W>2‧T1[nm]. Further, the height H2 of the protruding portion 2b must be set to satisfy H1 > H2 [nm].

接著,如圖10所示般,覆蓋保護絕緣膜8,並以埋入第2凹部24之方式塗佈犧牲膜9。犧牲膜9被形成其表面成為平坦。若需要藉由CMP(Chemical Mechanical Polishing)等進行犧牲膜9之表面之平坦化。 Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the protective insulating film 8 is covered, and the sacrificial film 9 is applied so as to embed the second recess 24. The sacrificial film 9 is formed such that its surface becomes flat. The surface of the sacrificial film 9 is planarized by CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) or the like.

接著,如圖11所示般,以犧牲膜9、保護絕緣膜8、電荷捕獲層7及元件分離絕緣膜2a之全部的蝕刻率相等之條件,進行該些回蝕。該回蝕可以使用乾蝕刻技術。回蝕係在犧牲膜9快要消失,第2凹部24之底面24a即是保護絕緣膜8之表面8a露出之時點結束。如此一來,元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b自半導體基板1之上面1a的高度H2等於合計之膜厚T2[nm]。此時,電荷捕獲層7之側緣部7a之高度WH因與元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度H2相等,故電荷捕獲層7之側緣部7a之高度WH也等於合計之膜厚T2[nm]。 Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the etch back is performed under the condition that the etching rates of all of the sacrificial film 9, the protective insulating film 8, the charge trap layer 7, and the element isolation insulating film 2a are equal. This etch back can use dry etching techniques. The etch back is about to disappear when the sacrificial film 9 is broken, and the bottom surface 24a of the second recess 24 is the point at which the surface 8a of the protective insulating film 8 is exposed. As a result, the height H2 of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a from the upper surface 1a of the semiconductor substrate 1 is equal to the total film thickness T2 [nm]. At this time, the height WH of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer 7 is equal to the height H2 of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a, so that the height WH of the side edge portion 7a of the charge trap layer 7 is also equal to the total film thickness. T2 [nm].

接著,如圖12所示般,使用濕蝕刻技術除去保護絕緣膜8。接著,使用熱氧化或CVD法,以覆蓋電荷捕獲層7之表面之方式,形成頂部矽氧化膜10。依此,形成底部矽氧化膜6、電荷捕獲層7及頂部氧化矽膜10所構成之3層構造之ONO閘極絕緣膜20。 Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the protective insulating film 8 is removed using a wet etching technique. Next, the top tantalum oxide film 10 is formed by thermal oxidation or CVD to cover the surface of the charge trap layer 7. Accordingly, the ONO gate insulating film 20 having a three-layer structure composed of the bottom tantalum oxide film 6, the charge trap layer 7, and the top oxide film 10 is formed.

接著,在ONO閘極絕緣膜20及元件分離絕緣膜2a上堆積成為核心閘極電極之一部分的多晶矽層11。再者,在多晶矽層11上設置含鎳等之矽化物層12。多晶矽層11和矽化物層12構成核心閘極電極21。 Next, a polysilicon layer 11 which is a part of the core gate electrode is deposited on the ONO gate insulating film 20 and the element isolation insulating film 2a. Further, a vaporized layer 12 containing nickel or the like is provided on the polysilicon layer 11. The polysilicon layer 11 and the germanide layer 12 constitute a core gate electrode 21.

之後,如圖6所示般,以覆蓋核心閘極電極21之方式,形成氮化矽膜13。之後,以覆蓋氮化矽膜13之方式,形成層間絕緣膜14。然後,雖然無圖示,但形成貫通層間絕緣膜14及氮化矽膜13之觸孔,並同時形成掩埋觸孔之接觸件16(圖1)和金屬配線15。 Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6, a tantalum nitride film 13 is formed so as to cover the core gate electrode 21. Thereafter, the interlayer insulating film 14 is formed to cover the tantalum nitride film 13. Then, although not shown, a contact hole penetrating the interlayer insulating film 14 and the tantalum nitride film 13 is formed, and at the same time, a contact 16 (FIG. 1) and a metal wiring 15 for burying the contact hole are formed.

如上述般,完成半導體裝置100。 As described above, the semiconductor device 100 is completed.

在本實施型態中,以底部氧化矽膜6、電荷捕獲層7及保護絕緣膜8總共合計之膜厚T2與回蝕後之電荷捕獲層7之側緣部7a之高度的目標值WHT一致之方式,形成該些膜及層。然後,在第2凹部24之底面24a即是保護絕緣膜8之表面8a露出之時點,結束將電荷捕獲層7分離成單元單位之回蝕,如此一來,可以使電荷捕獲層7之側緣7a之高度WH與合計之膜厚T2一致。合計之膜厚T2之偏差係依存於成膜精度,若比起元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b的高度精度,小到幾乎可以忽略。因此,與回蝕前之元件分離絕緣膜2a之突出部2b之高度H1之偏差無關,實質上可以均勻地形成回蝕後之突出部2b之高度H2。依此,可以安定地製造具有期待特性之半導體裝置。 In the present embodiment, the total thickness T2 of the bottom yttrium oxide film 6, the charge trap layer 7, and the protective insulating film 8 is the same as the target value WHT of the height of the side edge portion 7a of the etched charge trap layer 7. In this manner, the films and layers are formed. Then, when the bottom surface 24a of the second recess 24 is the surface 8a of the protective insulating film 8, the etch back of the charge trap layer 7 is separated into unit cells, so that the side edge of the charge trap layer 7 can be made. The height WH of 7a coincides with the total film thickness T2. The variation in the total film thickness T2 depends on the film formation precision, and is small enough to be negligible compared to the height accuracy of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a. Therefore, regardless of the deviation of the height H1 of the protruding portion 2b of the element isolation insulating film 2a before the etch back, the height H2 of the protruding portion 2b after the etch back can be substantially uniformly formed. According to this, it is possible to stably manufacture a semiconductor device having desired characteristics.

以上,雖然針對本發明以實施型態進行說 明,但是本發明並不限定於上述實施型態,只要在不脫離其發明之範圍下,可做各種變形、變更。 Above, although the present invention is described in an implementation form It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
