Description

高深寬比結構的蝕刻方法及MEMS裝置的製作方法High aspect ratio structure etching method and MEMS device manufacturing method

本發明涉及半導體集成電路製造技術的技術領域,尤其涉及一種高深寬比結構的蝕刻方法及相應的MEMS裝置的製作方法。The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuit fabrication technology, and in particular, to a high aspect ratio structure etching method and a corresponding MEMS device fabrication method.

深反應離子蝕刻技術(Deep reactive ion etching,DRIE)是一種基於電漿技術的蝕刻技術,主要用於加工具有垂直側壁的高深寬比微結構,具有垂直性好的特點。這一技術在過去的十幾年中極大地拓展了體矽製程的加工能力和使用範圍,在微機電系統(Micro Electro Mechanical Systems,MEMS)加工技術以及新興的3D互連技術中應用十分廣泛。但是在基於SOI技術的MEMS高深寬比微結構加工以及基於SOI技術的3D互連高深寬比結構加工時, DRIE技術却存在著一些被認為對蝕刻速率和結構輪廓不利的效應,如橫向蝕刻(Notching)效應。Deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) is an etching technique based on plasma technology. It is mainly used to process high aspect ratio microstructures with vertical sidewalls and has good verticality. This technology has greatly expanded the processing capability and scope of the physical manufacturing process in the past ten years, and is widely used in micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) processing technology and emerging 3D interconnection technology. However, in the MEMS high aspect ratio microstructure processing based on SOI technology and the high aspect ratio structure processing of 3D interconnection based on SOI technology, DRIE technology has some effects that are considered to be unfavorable to the etching rate and structural contour, such as lateral etching ( Notching) effect.

常規的應用於MEMS加工技術和3D互連技術的RIE技術基於波希(Bosch)技術的原理實現高深寬比的蝕刻,主要由兩步組成:第一步,主蝕刻(Main Etch),用來形成高深寬比結構的主體形狀,在這一步驟大部分矽被快速刻盡形成深槽,主要影響高深寬比結構的主體垂直度;第二步,過蝕刻(Over Etch),這一步用來去除主蝕刻步驟中沒有刻盡的矽殘留。The conventional RIE technology applied to MEMS processing technology and 3D interconnect technology realizes high aspect ratio etching based on the principle of Bosch technology. It is mainly composed of two steps: the first step, main etching (Main Etch), Forming the shape of the body of the high aspect ratio structure, in this step most of the crucible is quickly carved out to form a deep groove, mainly affecting the verticality of the body of the high aspect ratio structure; the second step, Over Etch, this step is used The flaws that are not exhausted in the main etching step are removed.

為了提高通孔的側壁的垂直度和粗糙度的要求,現有的RIE蝕刻高深寬比結構通常採用波希技術。美國專利US5501893對波希技術記載道:波希技術是利用沉積、蝕刻交替進行的方法進行深孔蝕刻。其具體過程為:提供半導體基板,所述半導體基板上形成有具有開口的光刻膠遮罩層;進行蝕刻步驟:向蝕刻腔室中通入蝕刻氣體(比如:SF6 ),蝕刻氣體被解離為電漿,對所述半導體基板進行蝕刻,形成蝕刻孔;進行沉積步驟:向蝕刻腔室中通入沉積氣體(比如:CF4 、C4 F8 ),沉積氣體被解離為電漿,在蝕刻孔的側壁形成聚合物,所述聚合物在下一蝕刻步驟時保護已形成的蝕刻孔的側壁不會被蝕刻到,從而保證整個波希蝕刻過程的各向異性;重複上述蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟,高速交替循環,直至在半導體基板中形成高深寬比結構。In order to improve the verticality and roughness requirements of the sidewalls of the vias, the existing RIE etched high aspect ratio structures typically employ Bosch techniques. U.S. Patent No. 5,501,893 describes Bosch technology that Bosch technology performs deep hole etching by means of deposition and etching alternately. The specific process is: providing a semiconductor substrate on which a photoresist mask layer having an opening is formed; performing an etching step: an etching gas (such as SF 6 ) is introduced into the etching chamber, and the etching gas is dissociated For plasma, the semiconductor substrate is etched to form an etched hole; and a deposition step is performed: a deposition gas (for example, CF 4 , C 4 F 8 ) is introduced into the etching chamber, and the deposition gas is dissociated into a plasma. The sidewalls of the etched holes form a polymer that protects the sidewalls of the formed etched holes from being etched during the next etching step, thereby ensuring anisotropy of the entire Bosch etching process; repeating the above etching step and deposition step The high-speed alternate cycle until a high aspect ratio structure is formed in the semiconductor substrate.

然而,由於電子比離子有更寬的角度分布,側壁和遮罩對電子的遮蔽要多於對離子的遮蔽,因此,最後到達孔底部的離子要多於電子。當主蝕刻結束時(當蝕刻到達SOI基板的氧化矽埋層時),因為氧化矽為絕緣體,離子電荷積聚在槽底部,造成溝槽底部電勢的差異,當後續離子轟擊槽底時會受到積聚電荷的排斥而改向轟擊側壁,導致側壁底部被掏蝕。如第1圖所示産生橫向凹陷(Notching)。However, since electrons have a wider angular distribution than ions, the sidewalls and the mask shield the electrons more than the ions, and therefore, the ions reaching the bottom of the hole are more than electrons. When the main etch is finished (when the etch reaches the yttrium oxide buried layer of the SOI substrate), because yttrium oxide is an insulator, the ionic charge accumulates at the bottom of the trench, causing a difference in the potential at the bottom of the trench, which is accumulated when subsequent ions bombard the bottom of the trench. The repulsion of the charge changes to the bombardment of the sidewalls, causing the bottom of the sidewall to be eroded. A lateral depression (Notching) is produced as shown in Fig. 1.

因此,如果在基於SOI技術的MEMS裝置及3D互連的RIE蝕刻中的消除橫向蝕刻效應成為業界極需解决的問題。Therefore, if the lateral etching effect is eliminated in the RIE etching of the MEMS device based on the SOI technology and the 3D interconnection, it becomes an extremely problem to be solved in the industry.

為了消除蝕刻橫向凹陷,中國專利ZL 200310122904.3公開了一種兩步過蝕刻的方法,第一步用高壓力過蝕刻,此高壓力容易使電漿中産生高分子聚合物,使栅側壁上及底部形成鈍化保護層,第二步是一般常規的過蝕刻,它的壓力相較第一步而言稍低,用來去除未刻盡的矽殘留。然而,這兩步過蝕刻的蝕刻時間很難掌握,若第一步過蝕刻時間越長,側壁的鈍化保護層就越厚,形貌越傾斜,橫向凹槽出現可能性越小;若第二步過蝕刻蝕刻時間越長,栅就越垂直,但是橫向凹槽出現的可能性就越大。因此,該專利的方法很難既保證沒有橫向凹槽,又同時盡可能使側壁形貌垂直。In order to eliminate the etching lateral depression, Chinese Patent ZL 200310122904.3 discloses a two-step over-etching method. The first step is high-pressure over-etching, which is easy to cause high-molecular polymer in the plasma to form on the bottom and bottom of the gate. Passivation of the protective layer, the second step is the general conventional over-etching, which has a slightly lower pressure than the first step to remove the undestroyed ruthenium residue. However, the etching time of the two-step over-etching is difficult to grasp. If the first etching time is longer, the passivation protective layer of the sidewall is thicker, the more the shape is inclined, the less likely the lateral groove appears; The longer the etching time is over the etch, the more vertical the gate is, but the greater the likelihood of lateral grooves appearing. Therefore, the method of this patent is difficult to ensure that there are no lateral grooves, while at the same time making the side wall topography as vertical as possible.

中國專利申請CN103400800A公開了一種波希蝕刻方法,其蝕刻步驟為,通入蝕刻氣體,施加源射頻功率源到反應腔以維持反應腔內的等離子濃度,同時施加第一偏置功率源到基座,沿開口蝕刻部分基片形成蝕刻孔;其沉積步驟為,通入沉積氣體,施加第二偏置功率源到基座,在蝕刻孔的側壁表面和遮罩層表面沉積形成聚合物,第二偏置功率源的頻率大於第一偏置功率源的頻率。然而,該專利申請的蝕刻方法需要對蝕刻和沉積步驟偏置功率源的頻率不斷進行交替調整,增加了技術難度和成本,也不利於製程的穩定性。Chinese patent application CN103400800A discloses a Bosch etching method in which an etching step is performed by introducing an etching gas, applying a source RF power source to the reaction chamber to maintain a plasma concentration in the reaction chamber, and applying a first bias power source to the pedestal. Etching a portion of the substrate along the opening to form an etched hole; the depositing step is: introducing a deposition gas, applying a second bias power source to the pedestal, depositing a polymer on the sidewall surface of the etched hole and the surface of the mask layer, and second The frequency of the bias power source is greater than the frequency of the first bias power source. However, the etching method of the patent application requires continuous adjustment of the frequency of the bias power source for the etching and deposition steps, which increases the technical difficulty and cost, and is not conducive to the stability of the process.

本發明的目的在於彌補上述現有技術的不足,提供一種高深寬比結構蝕刻方法,通過在主蝕刻製程與過蝕刻製程之間增加一步過渡蝕刻製程,避免蝕刻過程中橫向凹陷的産生。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to remedy the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, and to provide a high aspect ratio structure etching method by adding a one-step transient etching process between a main etching process and an over-etching process to avoid the occurrence of lateral recesses during etching.

第2圖為本發明的高深寬比結構蝕刻方法的流程示意圖,第3a圖至第3d圖為高深寬比結構的蝕刻方法各步驟的剖視圖,請結合參照第2圖和第3a圖至第3d圖,高深寬比結構的蝕刻方法通過深反應離子蝕刻(RIE)技術完成,其具體包括以下步驟:2 is a schematic flow chart of a high aspect ratio structure etching method according to the present invention, and FIGS. 3a to 3d are cross-sectional views showing respective steps of an etching method of a high aspect ratio structure. Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3a to FIG. 3d together. The etching method of the high aspect ratio structure is completed by a deep reactive ion etching (RIE) technique, which specifically includes the following steps:

步驟S01,請參考第3a圖,提供半導體基板10。In step S01, please refer to FIG. 3a to provide a semiconductor substrate 10.

該步驟中,還包括在半導體基板上形成遮罩層11並圖形化,在遮罩層中形成暴露出半導體基板表面的窗口11a。其中,遮罩層的材料可以選自氧化矽、氮化矽或其組成的多層結構,也可以採用金屬硬遮罩材料如氮化鈦等,本發明並不加以限制。遮罩層的圖形化可通過常規的光刻蝕刻實現,在此不作贅述。In this step, the mask layer 11 is formed on the semiconductor substrate and patterned, and a window 11a exposing the surface of the semiconductor substrate is formed in the mask layer. The material of the mask layer may be selected from the group consisting of ruthenium oxide, tantalum nitride or a multilayer structure thereof, or a metal hard mask material such as titanium nitride, etc., which is not limited by the invention. The patterning of the mask layer can be achieved by conventional photolithography etching, which will not be described herein.

步驟S02,請參考第3b圖,執行主蝕刻(Main Etch)製程,其蝕刻半導體基板到目標深度的上方位置時停止,形成第一蝕刻孔。In step S02, referring to FIG. 3b, a main etching process is performed, which stops when the semiconductor substrate is etched to a position above the target depth to form a first etching hole.

本步驟中主蝕刻製程為波希蝕刻,包括交替循環的蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟。其具體過程為:蝕刻步驟採用電漿乾法蝕刻進行,向處理腔室中通入蝕刻氣體,如SF6 ,蝕刻氣體被電離為電漿,對半導體基板未被遮罩層遮蔽的暴露部分進行蝕刻,形成蝕刻孔;進行沉積步驟時向蝕刻腔室中通入沉積氣體,如C4 F8 ,沉積氣體被電離為電漿,在蝕刻孔的側壁形成聚合物,該聚合物在下一蝕刻步驟時保護已形成的蝕刻孔的側壁不會被蝕刻到,從而保證整個波希蝕刻技術的各向異性。重複上述蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟,直至在半導體基板中形成第一蝕刻孔12,如第3b圖所示。需要注意的是,第一蝕刻孔12限定了最終形成的高深寬比結構的形狀,但其深度要小於高深寬比結構的目標深度,即在蝕刻至距離目標深度上方一定高度的位置時,主蝕刻製程停止,以留下一部分半導體基板厚度待過渡蝕刻製程及過蝕刻製程去除。較佳的,主蝕刻製程是蝕刻半導體基板至目標深度上方2-3μm的高度處停止,可通過終點檢測技術或處理時間控制來决定主蝕刻製程的蝕刻深度。In this step, the main etching process is a Bosch etching, including an etching step and a deposition step of alternating cycles. The specific process is as follows: the etching step is performed by plasma dry etching, and an etching gas such as SF 6 is introduced into the processing chamber, and the etching gas is ionized into a plasma to expose the exposed portion of the semiconductor substrate that is not covered by the mask layer. Etching, forming an etched hole; performing a deposition step to introduce a deposition gas into the etch chamber, such as C 4 F 8 , the deposition gas is ionized into a plasma, forming a polymer on the sidewall of the etched hole, the polymer is in the next etching step The sidewalls of the etched holes that have been formed are protected from etching, thereby ensuring the anisotropy of the entire Bosch etching technique. The above etching step and deposition step are repeated until the first etching hole 12 is formed in the semiconductor substrate as shown in FIG. 3b. It should be noted that the first etch hole 12 defines the shape of the finally formed high aspect ratio structure, but the depth is smaller than the target depth of the high aspect ratio structure, that is, when etched to a position above the target depth, the main etch The etching process is stopped to leave a portion of the thickness of the semiconductor substrate to be removed by the transient etching process and the overetch process. Preferably, the main etching process is to etch the semiconductor substrate to a height of 2-3 μm above the target depth, and the etching depth of the main etching process can be determined by the end point detection technique or the processing time control.

在主蝕刻製程期間,蝕刻/沉積速率比為1:1至2:1,這樣使得蝕刻的速率較快,因此蝕刻形成的第一蝕刻孔的形貌較高。During the main etch process, the etch/deposition rate ratio is 1:1 to 2:1, which results in a faster etch rate, so the etched first etched via has a higher profile.

步驟S03,請參考第3c圖,執行過渡蝕刻(Transition Etch)製程,繼續蝕刻半導體基板至目標深度,形成關鍵尺寸小於第一蝕刻孔的第二蝕刻孔。In step S03, referring to FIG. 3c, a transition etch process is performed to continue etching the semiconductor substrate to a target depth to form a second etch hole having a critical dimension smaller than the first etch hole.

本步驟中,過渡蝕刻製程同樣為波希技術,包括交替循環的蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟,並且遮罩層仍作為過渡蝕刻製程的遮罩。其中,蝕刻步驟採用電漿乾法蝕刻,蝕刻氣體仍選用SF6 ,沉積步驟中沉積氣體仍選用CF4 ,蝕刻步驟與沉積步驟交替循環,需要注意的是,本步驟中蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟的蝕刻/沉積速率比要小於主蝕刻製程中蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟的蝕刻/沉積速率比,較佳的兩者的蝕刻/沉積速率比小於等於1:1。過渡蝕刻製程沿著第一蝕刻孔蝕刻半導體基板並在第一蝕刻孔12底部形成關鍵尺寸(critical dimension)小於第一蝕刻孔的關鍵尺寸(也即是高深寬比結構的關鍵尺寸)的第二蝕刻孔13,如第3c圖所示。其中可通過終點檢測技術或處理時間控制來决定過渡蝕刻製程的蝕刻深度。第一蝕刻孔12和第二蝕刻孔13構成一台階型孔。一般來說,第二蝕刻孔13底部側壁處會有部分的半導體基板材料殘留。由於本步驟中蝕刻/沉積速率比相較於步驟S01的主蝕刻製程降低,因此總體蝕刻速率减緩,而沉積步驟所生成的聚合物更多地形成在第二蝕刻孔的側壁,可抵消後續過蝕刻製程所造成的底部橫向凹陷。In this step, the transition etch process is also a Bosch technique, including an alternating cycle of etching and deposition steps, and the mask layer remains as a mask for the transient etch process. Wherein, the etching step is performed by plasma dry etching, the etching gas is still selected by SF 6 , and the deposition gas in the deposition step is still CF 4 , and the etching step and the deposition step are alternately cycled. It is noted that the etching step and the deposition step in this step are required. The etch/deposition rate ratio is less than the etch/deposition rate ratio of the etch step and the deposition step in the main etch process, and the preferred etch/deposition rate ratio is less than or equal to 1:1. The transition etch process etches the semiconductor substrate along the first etch hole and forms a second dimension at the bottom of the first etch hole 12 that is less than a critical dimension of the first etched hole (ie, a critical dimension of the high aspect ratio structure) The hole 13 is etched as shown in Fig. 3c. The etch depth of the transient etch process can be determined by endpoint detection techniques or processing time control. The first etching hole 12 and the second etching hole 13 constitute a stepped hole. Generally, a portion of the semiconductor substrate material remains at the bottom sidewall of the second etching hole 13. Since the etching/deposition rate in this step is lower than that in the main etching process of step S01, the overall etching rate is slowed down, and the polymer formed in the deposition step is more formed on the sidewall of the second etching hole, which can offset the subsequent The bottom lateral depression caused by the over-etching process.

步驟S03,請參考第3d圖,執行過蝕刻(Over Etch)製程,蝕刻第二蝕刻孔的側壁以在半導體基板中形成目標深度的高深寬比結構。In step S03, referring to FIG. 3d, an over Etch process is performed to etch the sidewalls of the second etched holes to form a high aspect ratio structure of the target depth in the semiconductor substrate.

本步驟中,仍以遮罩層作為蝕刻遮罩,並且仍然採用包括交替循環的蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟的波希技術。其中,蝕刻步驟採用電漿乾法蝕刻,蝕刻氣體仍選用SF6 ,沉積步驟中沉積氣體仍選用CF4 ,蝕刻步驟與沉積步驟交替循環。在本步驟中蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟的蝕刻/沉積速率比要大於過渡蝕刻製程中蝕刻步驟和沉積步驟的蝕刻/沉積速率比,例如可與主蝕刻製程採用的蝕刻/沉積速率比相同,過蝕刻製程的持續時間根據技術需求及蝕刻/沉積速率比設定,可與現有技術的過蝕刻製程時間相同,一般占據整個高深寬比結構蝕刻時間的至少20%以上。過渡蝕刻製程蝕刻第二蝕刻孔12的側壁,也包括第二蝕刻孔底部殘留的半導體基板材料。由於第二蝕刻孔的關鍵尺寸要小於第一蝕刻孔,過蝕刻製程對第二蝕刻孔側壁聚合物的橫向蝕刻恰可以去除臺階型孔的凸出的臺階部,而使得過蝕刻製程後最終形成達到目標深度的高深寬比結構14,並且高深寬比結構底部不會産生橫向凹槽,由此保證了高深寬比結構側壁的完整性。In this step, the mask layer is still used as an etch mask, and a Bosch technique including an alternate cycle of etching and deposition steps is still employed. Wherein, the etching step is performed by plasma dry etching, the etching gas is still selected by SF 6 , the deposition gas in the deposition step is still CF 4 , and the etching step and the deposition step are alternately cycled. In this step, the etching/deposition rate ratio of the etching step and the deposition step is greater than the etching/deposition rate ratio of the etching step and the deposition step in the transient etching process, for example, the same etching/deposition rate ratio that can be used for the main etching process, over etching The duration of the process is set according to the technical requirements and the etch/deposition rate ratio, which is the same as the prior art overetch process time, and generally occupies at least 20% of the entire high aspect ratio structure etch time. The transition etch process etches the sidewall of the second etched via 12, and also includes the semiconductor substrate material remaining at the bottom of the second etched via. Since the critical dimension of the second etched hole is smaller than the first etched hole, the lateral etch of the sidewall of the second etched via sidewall by the over etch process can remove the protruding step of the stepped via, so that the over etch process is finally formed. The high aspect ratio structure 14 of the target depth is achieved, and the bottom of the high aspect ratio structure does not create lateral grooves, thereby ensuring the integrity of the sidewalls of the high aspect ratio structure.

在進行主蝕刻製程、過渡蝕刻製程和過蝕刻製程這三個步驟中,處理腔室的壓力、溫度、氣體流速和射頻源功率等製程參數均可設定為相同,其中處理腔室的壓力範圍為40~120毫托,較佳的為70毫托;源射頻源的功率為1500~3000瓦,較佳為1800瓦;偏置射頻源的功率以脈衝方式輸出且功率大於300瓦,脈衝負載循環約為10%。蝕刻氣體SF6 的流速為100~2000sccm,沉積氣體C4 F8 的流速為100~2000sccm,較佳的均為1000sccm。In the three steps of performing the main etching process, the transition etching process, and the over-etching process, the process parameters such as the pressure, temperature, gas flow rate, and RF source power of the processing chamber can be set to be the same, wherein the pressure range of the processing chamber is 40~120 mTorr, preferably 70 mTorr; the source RF source has a power of 1500~3000 watts, preferably 1800 watts; the bias RF source is pulsed and the power is greater than 300 watts, pulse duty cycle About 10%.

然後,請參考第4b圖,提供第二半導體基板200並將其與第一半導體基板100具有氧化層的一側膠合。膠合技術為熔融膠合或稱為矽矽膠合,矽矽膠合的方法包括平坦化第一半導體基板和第二半導體基板的表面、進行清洗去除表面污染物、將第一和第二半導體基板相對放置,在高溫環境下施加一定壓力使兩者結合。具體製程方法為本領域技術人員所熟知,在此不作贅述。膠合後的第一半導體基板、氧化層和第二半導體基板形成SOI結構基板,且分別作為頂層矽層、絕緣層和底層矽層。Then, referring to FIG. 4b, the second semiconductor substrate 200 is provided and bonded to one side of the first semiconductor substrate 100 having an oxide layer. The gluing technique is melt gluing or gluing, and the gluing method includes planarizing the surfaces of the first semiconductor substrate and the second semiconductor substrate, performing cleaning to remove surface contaminants, and placing the first and second semiconductor substrates relative to each other. Apply a certain pressure in a high temperature environment to combine the two. Specific process methods are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described herein. The glued first semiconductor substrate, the oxide layer and the second semiconductor substrate form an SOI structure substrate, and serve as a top layer, an insulating layer and an underlayer layer, respectively.

接著,請參考第4c圖,在第二半導體基板200中蝕刻出高深寬比結構201,包括前述的主蝕刻製程步驟、過渡蝕刻製程步驟和過蝕刻製程步驟,每一蝕刻技術的具體步驟和製程參數與上文描述基本相同,在此不再詳述。需要注意的是本實施例中,高深寬比結構的目標深度為到達SOI基板的氧化層101為止,即等同於第二半導體基板的厚度。具體的,主蝕刻製程步驟停止於第二半導體基板200底部(即氧化層101上表面)的上方位置時停止,形成限定高深寬比結構主體形狀的第一蝕刻孔。過渡蝕刻製程步驟沿著第一蝕刻孔繼續蝕刻第二半導體基板200至其底部,停止於氧化層並暴露部分的氧化層101上表面,形成關鍵尺寸較小的第二蝕刻孔。此處的氧化層101作為蝕刻停止層,並且經過渡蝕刻製程後氧化層表面仍殘留部分的第二半導體基板材料。過蝕刻製程步驟則蝕刻第二蝕刻孔的側壁(包括氧化層101表面殘留的第二半導體基板材料),最終蝕刻出貫穿第二半導體基板且形貌一致的高深寬比結構。如第4d圖所示,高深寬比結構底部側壁具有光滑的形貌,可消除現有技術中應用DRIE蝕刻SOI矽片時橫向蝕刻現象的産生。Next, referring to FIG. 4c, the high aspect ratio structure 201 is etched in the second semiconductor substrate 200, including the foregoing main etching process step, the transient etching process step, and the over-etching process step, and the specific steps and processes of each etching technique. The parameters are basically the same as described above and will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the target depth of the high aspect ratio structure is the oxide layer 101 reaching the SOI substrate, that is, equivalent to the thickness of the second semiconductor substrate. Specifically, when the main etching process step stops at a position above the bottom of the second semiconductor substrate 200 (ie, the upper surface of the oxide layer 101), the first etching hole defining the shape of the high aspect ratio structure body is formed. The transient etching process step continues to etch the second semiconductor substrate 200 to the bottom thereof along the first etching hole, stops at the oxide layer and exposes a portion of the upper surface of the oxide layer 101, and forms a second etching hole having a smaller critical dimension. The oxide layer 101 here serves as an etch stop layer, and a portion of the second semiconductor substrate material remains on the surface of the oxide layer after the transient etching process. The over-etching process etches the sidewalls of the second etched holes (including the second semiconductor substrate material remaining on the surface of the oxide layer 101), and finally etches a high aspect ratio structure that penetrates the second semiconductor substrate and has a uniform morphology. As shown in Fig. 4d, the bottom sidewall of the high aspect ratio structure has a smooth topography, which eliminates the occurrence of lateral etching in the prior art where DRIE etched SOI wafers are applied.

This embodiment can be implemented in combination with Embodiment 1 or independently.

首先,請參考第5a圖,提供第一半導體基板100,該第一半導體基板作為矩陣基板,其上還形成一層氧化層101.First, please refer to Figure 5a, providing a first semiconductor substrate 100, the first semiconductor substrate as a matrix substrate, also formed an oxide layer 101 thereon.

接著,在第一半導體基板100和氧化層101中形成凹槽102,該凹槽用作MEMS裝置的MEMS空腔(cavity)。Next, a recess 102 is formed in the first semiconductor substrate 100 and the oxide layer 101, which serves as a MEMS cavity of the MEMS device.

然後,請參考第5b圖,提供第二半導體基板200並將其與第一半導體基板100具有凹槽的一側膠合。膠合技術為熔融膠合或稱矽矽膠合。膠合後的第一半導體基板、氧化層和第二半導體基板形成SOI結構的基板,並分別作為SOI結構基板的頂層矽層、絕緣層和底層矽層。Then, referring to FIG. 5b, the second semiconductor substrate 200 is provided and glued to one side of the first semiconductor substrate 100 having a groove. The gluing technique is melt gluing or gluing. The glued first semiconductor substrate, the oxide layer and the second semiconductor substrate form a substrate of an SOI structure, and serve as a top layer of a SOI structure substrate, an insulating layer, and an underlayer layer, respectively.

接著,請參考第5c圖,在第二半導體基板200中與MEMS空腔相對的位置蝕刻出高深寬比結構201,其包括前述的主蝕刻製程步驟、過渡蝕刻製程步驟和過蝕刻製程步驟,各蝕刻技術的具體步驟和製程參數與上文描述基本相同,在此不再詳述。需要注意的是,本實施例中高深寬比結構的目標深度為到達MEMS空腔為止,即等同第二半導體基板的厚度。具體的,主蝕刻製程步驟蝕刻至第二半導體基板200底部的上方位置時停止,形成限定高深寬比結構主體形狀的第一蝕刻孔。過渡蝕刻製程步驟沿著第一蝕刻孔繼續蝕刻第二半導體基板200至第二半導體基板的底部以形成與MEMS空腔連通且關鍵尺寸比第一蝕刻孔小的第二蝕刻孔。過蝕刻製程步驟則蝕刻第二蝕刻孔的側壁,最終形成貫穿第二半導體基板且形貌一致的高深寬比結構,該高深寬比結構與MEMS空腔連通。由此,形成有高深寬比結構的第二半導體材料可充當基於SOI技術的MEMS裝置的固定電極。Next, referring to FIG. 5c, a high aspect ratio structure 201 is etched at a position opposite to the MEMS cavity in the second semiconductor substrate 200, which includes the foregoing main etching process step, a transient etching process step, and an over etching process step, each of which The specific steps and process parameters of the etching technique are substantially the same as those described above and will not be described in detail herein. It should be noted that the target depth of the high aspect ratio structure in this embodiment is to reach the MEMS cavity, that is, the thickness of the second semiconductor substrate. Specifically, when the main etching process step is etched to the upper position of the bottom of the second semiconductor substrate 200, the first etching hole defining the shape of the high aspect ratio structure body is formed. The transition etch process step continues to etch the second semiconductor substrate 200 to the bottom of the second semiconductor substrate along the first etch hole to form a second etch hole that is in communication with the MEMS cavity and has a smaller critical dimension than the first etch hole. The overetching process etches the sidewalls of the second etched via to form a high aspect ratio structure that is contiguous throughout the second semiconductor substrate and that is in line with the MEMS cavity. Thus, the second semiconductor material formed with the high aspect ratio structure can serve as a fixed electrode of the MEMS device based on SOI technology.

綜上所述,本發明提供的高深寬比結構的蝕刻方法,通過在常規的主蝕刻與過蝕刻之間,增加一步過渡蝕刻步驟,其中,使主蝕刻製程將高深寬比結構蝕刻至目標深度上方位置時停止,隨後進行蝕刻/沉積速率比更小的過渡蝕刻製程,來避免後續過蝕刻製程所造成的橫向蝕刻在高深寬比結構底部産生向內的凹陷,由此提高裝置性能。In summary, the present invention provides a high aspect ratio structure etching method by adding a one-step transient etching step between conventional main etching and over etching, wherein the main etching process etches the high aspect ratio structure to the target depth. The upper position is stopped, followed by a further etching process with a lower etching/deposition rate ratio to avoid lateral etching caused by subsequent over-etching processes to create inward depressions at the bottom of the high aspect ratio structure, thereby improving device performance.
