Advances in semiconductor materials and design techniques have made circuits smaller and more complex, especially in the application of high voltage components.

由於高壓元件之間需要藉由隔離區塊分隔一特定的距離,才能使電性訊號的傳輸不受高電壓的影響。由於整體元件的尺寸受限於此特定的距離,如何藉由電路的配置以達到最有效率的空間利用是一大課題,另一方面,半導體製程的成本也相對增加。為了在縮小元件尺寸的同時節省製程成本,半導體積體電路工業在材料與製程設計方面皆不斷地在進步,但目前的半導體積體裝置並非各方面皆令人滿意。 Since the high voltage components need to be separated by a certain distance by the isolation block, the transmission of the electrical signal is not affected by the high voltage. Since the size of the overall component is limited to this specific distance, how to achieve the most efficient space utilization by the configuration of the circuit is a major issue, and on the other hand, the cost of the semiconductor process is relatively increased.

參見第1A和2A圖,在半導體基底101上形成遮罩圖案103,遮罩圖案103具有複數個互相平行的開口105,前述之開口105暴露出半導體基底101的一部分。開口105的其中一者與相鄰的另一開口105之間的距離定義為第一距離d1,且開口105之其中一者具有寬度,前述之寬度定義為第二距離d2。 Referring to FIGS. 1A and 2A, a mask pattern 103 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 101. The mask pattern 103 has a plurality of openings 105 that are parallel to each other, and the opening 105 exposes a portion of the semiconductor substrate 101. The distance between one of the openings 105 and the adjacent other opening 105 is defined as a first distance d1, and one of the openings 105 has a width, the aforementioned width being defined as a second distance d2.

在本實施例中,第一距離d1與第二距離d2相等,此為最有效率的製程配置,但不限於此。在其他的實施例中,第一距離d1可大於或小於第二距離d2,相關配置及其造成的影響將在後續進行說明。 In the present embodiment, the first distance d1 is equal to the second distance d2, which is the most efficient process configuration, but is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first distance d1 may be greater than or less than the second distance d2, and the relevant configuration and its effects will be described later.

此外,遮罩圖案103可藉由熱氧化、化學氣相沉積(chemical vapor deposition,CVD)、高密度電漿化學氣相沉積(high-density plasma CVD,HDPCVD)、原子層沉積(atomic layer deposition,ALD)、旋轉塗佈(spin coating)、濺鍍(sputtering)、有機金屬化學氣相沉積(metal organic chemical vapor deposition,MOCVD)或前述之組合形成遮罩材料層(未繪示),並藉由圖案化製程,例如微影和蝕刻製程,將遮罩材料層圖案化而形成遮罩圖案103。一些實施例中,硬遮罩圖案103可為一或多層結構,且可例如由氮化矽(SiN)、二氧化矽(SiO2)、氮氧化矽(SiON)、四乙氧基矽烷(tetraethoxysilane,TEOS)或前述之組合形成。 In addition, the mask pattern 103 can be by thermal oxidation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), high-density plasma CVD (HDPCVD), atomic layer deposition (atomic layer deposition, ALD), spin coating, sputtering, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) or a combination of the foregoing to form a mask material layer (not shown) by A patterning process, such as a lithography and etching process, patterns the layer of masking material to form a mask pattern 103. In some embodiments, the hard mask pattern 103 may be one or more layers, and may be, for example, tantalum nitride (SiN), cerium oxide (SiO2), cerium oxynitride (SiON), tetraethoxysilane, TEOS) or a combination of the foregoing.

根據一些實施例,如第1B和2B圖所示,使用遮罩圖案103為遮罩,對半導體基底101進行蝕刻製程,將遮 罩圖案103轉移至半導體基底101內,以在半導體基底101內形成複數個互相平行的溝槽107和條狀結構108,且條狀結構108與溝槽107交錯排列。 According to some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1B and 2B, the semiconductor substrate 101 is etched using the mask pattern 103 as a mask, and the mask pattern 103 is transferred into the semiconductor substrate 101 to be formed in the semiconductor substrate 101. A plurality of mutually parallel grooves 107 and strips 108 are formed, and the strip structures 108 are staggered with the grooves 107.

一些實施例中,溝槽107的深度在約5微米至約100微米的範圍內,特別是在約30微米至約100微米的範圍內,溝槽107的深度可視製程需要進行調整。在其他實施例中,溝槽107可為挖穿半導體基底101的溝槽。 In some embodiments, the depth of the trenches 107 is in the range of from about 5 microns to about 100 microns, particularly in the range of from about 30 microns to about 100 microns, and the depth of the trenches 107 may need to be adjusted depending on the process. In other embodiments, the trench 107 can be a trench that digs through the semiconductor substrate 101.

明確而言,藉由蝕刻製程在半導體基底內形成複數個互相平行的溝槽107,以及溝槽107之間的複數個條狀結構108,前述之溝槽107和條狀結構108在半導體基底101中佔據第一區150,第一區150的位置即為後續製程中將形成隔離區塊的位置。 Specifically, a plurality of mutually parallel trenches 107 are formed in the semiconductor substrate by an etching process, and a plurality of strip structures 108 between the trenches 107, the trenches 107 and the strip structures 108 on the semiconductor substrate 101. The first area 150 is occupied, and the position of the first area 150 is the position where the isolation block will be formed in the subsequent process.

相似於第1A圖,溝槽107的其中一者與相鄰的另一溝槽107之間的距離約略等於第一距離d1,且溝槽107之其中一者的寬度約略等於第二距離d2。在本實施例中,第一距離d1與第二距離d2相等。此外,一些實施例中,上述蝕刻製程可包含乾式蝕刻、溼式蝕刻或前述之組合。 Similar to FIG. 1A, the distance between one of the trenches 107 and the adjacent other trench 107 is approximately equal to the first distance d1, and the width of one of the trenches 107 is approximately equal to the second distance d2. In the present embodiment, the first distance d1 is equal to the second distance d2. Moreover, in some embodiments, the etching process described above may include dry etching, wet etching, or a combination of the foregoing.

根據一些實施例,如第1C和2C圖所示,在半導體基底101上形成具有開口的遮蔽層109。值得注意的是,在第2C圖的上視圖中,遮蔽層109的開口暴露出第一區150以及位於第一區150周圍之半導體基底101的一部分。明確而言,遮蔽層109的側壁與半導體基底101內之溝槽107在第一區150內最外圍的側壁未對齊,且遮蔽層109的側壁與半導體基底101內之溝槽107的側壁之間具有第三距離d3。一 些實施例中,遮蔽層109係用以定義出隔離區塊確切的位置,在後續的製程中,未被遮蔽層109覆蓋之半導體基底101的區域即為後續將形成之隔離區塊的位置。 According to some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1C and 2C, a shadowing layer 109 having an opening is formed on the semiconductor substrate 101. It is noted that in the upper view of FIG. 2C, the opening of the masking layer 109 exposes the first region 150 and a portion of the semiconductor substrate 101 that is located around the first region 150. Specifically, the sidewalls of the masking layer 109 are not aligned with the trenches 107 in the semiconductor substrate 101 at the outermost sidewalls of the first region 150, and between the sidewalls of the masking layer 109 and the sidewalls of the trenches 107 in the semiconductor substrate 101. Has a third distance d3. In some embodiments, the masking layer 109 is used to define the exact location of the isolation block. In the subsequent process, the area of the semiconductor substrate 101 that is not covered by the masking layer 109 is the location of the isolation block to be formed later.

一些實施例中,遮蔽層109可包含氧化矽、氮化矽或氮氧化矽,且遮蔽層109係藉由化學氣相沉積(CVD)、物理氣相沉積(physical vapor deposition,PVD)、高密度電漿化學氣相沉積(HDPCVD)、原子層沉積(ALD)、旋轉塗佈或前述之組合而形成。此外,藉由圖案化製程,例如微影和蝕刻製程,形成遮蔽層109的開口。 In some embodiments, the shielding layer 109 may comprise hafnium oxide, tantalum nitride or hafnium oxynitride, and the shielding layer 109 is formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), high density. Plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDPCVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), spin coating or a combination of the foregoing. In addition, openings of the masking layer 109 are formed by a patterning process, such as lithography and etching processes.

根據一些實施例,如第1D和2D圖所示,實施熱氧化製程,使得溝槽107之間的條狀結構108氧化形成複數個氧化部110。值得注意的是,第1D圖僅繪示出氧化部110的其中一者,但氧化部110的實際數量不限於此。這些氧化部110延伸至溝槽107中且互相連接,以在半導體基底101中形成一完整的隔離區塊111。在本實施例中,除了將溝槽107之間的條狀結構108氧化以外,熱氧化製程也對半導體基底101之與溝槽107共同的側壁部分,亦即位於第一區150的邊緣處之半導體基底101的部分,以及溝槽107的底部進行氧化。 According to some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 1D and 2D, a thermal oxidation process is performed such that the strip structures 108 between the trenches 107 are oxidized to form a plurality of oxidized portions 110. It is to be noted that the 1D drawing only shows one of the oxidized portions 110, but the actual number of the oxidized portions 110 is not limited thereto. These oxide portions 110 extend into the trenches 107 and are connected to each other to form a complete isolation block 111 in the semiconductor substrate 101. In the present embodiment, in addition to oxidizing the strip structure 108 between the trenches 107, the thermal oxidation process also applies to the sidewall portions of the semiconductor substrate 101 that are common to the trenches 107, that is, at the edges of the first regions 150. A portion of the semiconductor substrate 101, and a bottom portion of the trench 107 are oxidized.

一些實施例中,上述熱氧化製程的溫度在約_800℃至約1200℃的範圍內。明確而言,在上述熱氧化製程中,消耗一單位的矽可產生約兩單位以上的氧化矽,因此,條狀結構108氧化形成的氧化部110之其中一者的體積為條狀結構108之其中一者的體積的兩倍以上。如第1D和2D圖所示, 虛線部分即為原溝槽107之間的條狀結構108和溝槽107所在的位置。整體而言,實施熱氧化製程所形成之隔離區塊111的面積和體積大於第一區150的面積和體積,且隔離區塊111的頂面高於半導體基底101的頂面。 In some embodiments, the temperature of the thermal oxidation process described above is in the range of from about _800 °C to about 1200 °C. Specifically, in the above thermal oxidation process, the consumption of one unit of germanium can generate about two units or more of cerium oxide. Therefore, the volume of one of the oxidized portions 110 formed by the oxidation of the strip structure 108 is the strip structure 108. One of them is more than twice the volume. As shown in FIGS. 1D and 2D, the dotted line portion is the position where the strip structure 108 and the groove 107 between the original grooves 107 are located. In general, the area and volume of the isolation block 111 formed by performing the thermal oxidation process is larger than the area and volume of the first region 150, and the top surface of the isolation block 111 is higher than the top surface of the semiconductor substrate 101.

在一些實施例中,由於一些氧化部110並未與相鄰之氧化部110完全密合連接,隔離區塊111內可能產生空隙113,如第1D和2D圖所示,在一些實施例中,空隙113並未延伸至半導體基底101的頂面,因此隔離區塊111的隔離效果和耐高壓的程度並未因空隙113的產生而降低。此外,在其他的實施例中,相鄰的氧化部110之間完全密合連接,並未產生任何的空隙113。 In some embodiments, since some of the oxidized portions 110 are not completely intimately coupled to the adjacent oxidized portions 110, voids 113 may be created within the isolated blocks 111, as shown in Figures 1D and 2D, in some embodiments, The void 113 does not extend to the top surface of the semiconductor substrate 101, and therefore the isolation effect and the degree of withstanding high voltage of the isolation block 111 are not lowered by the generation of the void 113. Further, in other embodiments, the adjacent oxidized portions 110 are completely in close contact with each other, and no voids 113 are produced.

此外,參閱第1C和1D圖,在實施熱氧化製程之前,若第二距離d2小於第一距離d1,亦即開口105和溝槽107具有較大的深寬比,則蝕刻形成開口105和溝槽107所需的時間較長,但由於相鄰兩條狀結構108之間的距離較短,藉由熱氧化製程以形成隔離區塊111所需的時間較少。反之,若第二距離d2大於第一距離d1,亦即相鄰兩條狀結構108之間的距離較大,藉由熱氧化製程以形成隔離區塊111所需的時間較長,但由於開口105和溝槽107具有較小的深寬比,蝕刻形成開口105和溝槽107所需的時間較短。由於在一些實施例之熱氧化製程中,消耗一單位的矽可產生約兩單位以上的氧化矽,故將第一距離d1與第二寬度d2設定為相等係最有效率的製程配置。 In addition, referring to FIGS. 1C and 1D, before the thermal oxidation process is performed, if the second distance d2 is smaller than the first distance d1, that is, the opening 105 and the trench 107 have a large aspect ratio, the etching forms the opening 105 and the trench. The time required for the grooves 107 is longer, but since the distance between the adjacent two structures 108 is shorter, the time required to form the isolation blocks 111 by the thermal oxidation process is less. On the other hand, if the second distance d2 is greater than the first distance d1, that is, the distance between the adjacent two structures 108 is large, the time required for forming the isolation block 111 by the thermal oxidation process is long, but due to the opening 105 and trench 107 have a smaller aspect ratio, and the time required to etch the opening 105 and trench 107 is shorter. Since in one embodiment the thermal oxidation process consumes one unit of tantalum to produce about two units of tantalum oxide, setting the first distance d1 and the second width d2 to be equal is the most efficient process configuration.

根據一些實施例,如第1E和2E圖所示,移除遮 蔽層109後,在半導體基底101和隔離區塊111上形成氧化層115。一些實施例中,遮蔽層109可藉由蝕刻製程以移除。此外,氧化層115可藉由化學氣相沉積(CVD)、物理氣相沉積(PVD)、高密度電漿化學氣相沉積(HDPCVD)、原子層沉積(ALD)、旋轉塗佈或前述之組合而形成。一些實施例中,在氧化層115形成之後,在氧化層115上實施平坦化製程,使得氧化層115具有平整的頂面。平坦化製程包含包含化學機械研磨(chemical mechanical polishing,CMP)製程、研磨(grinding)製程、蝕刻製程、其他合適的製程或前述之組合。 According to some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1E and 2E, after the mask layer 109 is removed, an oxide layer 115 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 101 and the isolation block 111. In some embodiments, the masking layer 109 can be removed by an etching process. In addition, the oxide layer 115 may be formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDPCVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), spin coating, or a combination thereof. And formed. In some embodiments, after the oxide layer 115 is formed, a planarization process is performed on the oxide layer 115 such that the oxide layer 115 has a flat top surface. The planarization process includes a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process, a grinding process, an etching process, other suitable processes, or a combination of the foregoing.
