Abstract
Description
本發明是有關於一種積體電路及其製造方法,且特別是有關於一種半導體記憶元件及其製造方法。The present invention relates to an integrated circuit and its manufacturing method, and more particularly to a semiconductor memory element and its manufacturing method.
隨著科技日新月異,半導體元件為了達到降低成本及簡化製程步驟的需求,將晶胞陣列區(cell array region)與周邊區(periphery region)的元件整合在同一晶片上已逐漸成為一種趨勢。With the rapid development of science and technology, in order to achieve the requirements of reducing costs and simplifying the process steps of semiconductor devices, it has gradually become a trend to integrate the components of the cell array region and the peripheral region on the same chip.
在習知製程中,晶胞陣列區與周邊區中的不同閘極結構需要使用不同光罩來定義。然而,晶胞陣列區與周邊區之間的隔離結構會經歷多次蝕刻製程,而導致隔離結構的過多損耗。在此情況下,在靠近邊界區的周邊區的隔離結構上的導體層亦會被損耗,使得多晶矽殘留物(poly residue)缺陷的產生,進而降低元件的可靠度與良率。因此,如何提供一種半導體記憶元件及其製造方法,以減少多晶矽殘留物缺陷,進而提升半導體記憶元件的可靠度與良率,將成為重要的一門課題。In the conventional manufacturing process, different gate structures in the cell array region and the peripheral region need to be defined using different masks. However, the isolation structure between the unit cell array area and the peripheral area will undergo multiple etching processes, resulting in excessive loss of the isolation structure. In this case, the conductor layer on the isolation structure near the peripheral area of the boundary area will also be lost, causing the generation of poly residue defects, thereby reducing the reliability and yield of the device. Therefore, how to provide a semiconductor memory device and a manufacturing method thereof to reduce polysilicon residue defects and thereby improve the reliability and yield of the semiconductor memory device will become an important issue.
本發明提供一種半導體記憶元件及其製造方法,其可避免多晶矽殘留物缺陷的產生,進而提升半導體記憶元件的可靠度與良率。The present invention provides a semiconductor memory element and a manufacturing method thereof, which can avoid the generation of polysilicon residue defects, thereby improving the reliability and yield of the semiconductor memory element.
本發明提供一種半導體記憶元件,包括:基底、隔離結構、第一閘介電層、第一導體層、第二閘介電層、第二導體層以及保護層。基底具有陣列區與周邊區。隔離結構配置在陣列區與周邊區之間的基底中。第一閘介電層配置在陣列區的基底上。第一導體層配置在第一閘介電層上。第二閘介電層配置在周邊區的基底上。第二導體層配置在第二閘介電層上。第二導體層延伸覆蓋隔離結構的部分頂面。保護層配置在第二導體層與隔離結構之間。The invention provides a semiconductor memory element, which includes a substrate, an isolation structure, a first gate dielectric layer, a first conductor layer, a second gate dielectric layer, a second conductor layer and a protective layer. The substrate has an array area and a peripheral area. The isolation structure is arranged in the substrate between the array area and the peripheral area. The first gate dielectric layer is disposed on the substrate in the array area. The first conductor layer is disposed on the first gate dielectric layer. The second gate dielectric layer is disposed on the substrate in the peripheral area. The second conductor layer is disposed on the second gate dielectric layer. The second conductor layer extends to cover part of the top surface of the isolation structure. The protective layer is disposed between the second conductor layer and the isolation structure.
本發明提供一種半導體記憶元件的製造方法,其步驟如下。提供具有陣列區與周邊區的基底。在陣列區的基底上形成第一堆疊結構。在周邊區的基底上形成第二堆疊結構。在第一堆疊結構與第二堆疊結構之間的基底中形成隔離結構。在基底上全面性地形成保護層。在保護層上形成第一罩幕層,其中第一罩幕層自陣列區延伸覆蓋周邊區的一部分。以第一罩幕層當作蝕刻罩幕,移除部分保護層與第二堆疊結構。在周邊區的基底上形成閘介電層。在基底上全面性地形成導體材料。在周邊區的導體材料上形成第二罩幕層。第二罩幕層當作蝕刻罩幕,移除部分導體材料及其下方的保護層,以使殘留的保護層形成在第一罩幕層與第二罩幕層的重疊區域中。The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor memory element, the steps of which are as follows. Provide a substrate with an array area and a peripheral area. A first stack structure is formed on the substrate in the array area. A second stacked structure is formed on the substrate in the peripheral area. An isolation structure is formed in the substrate between the first stack structure and the second stack structure. A protective layer is comprehensively formed on the substrate. A first mask layer is formed on the protective layer, wherein the first mask layer extends from the array area to cover a part of the peripheral area. Taking the first mask layer as an etching mask, part of the protection layer and the second stack structure are removed. A gate dielectric layer is formed on the substrate in the peripheral area. The conductor material is formed comprehensively on the substrate. A second mask layer is formed on the conductor material in the peripheral area. The second mask layer is used as an etching mask, and part of the conductive material and the protective layer underneath are removed, so that the remaining protective layer is formed in the overlapping area of the first mask layer and the second mask layer.
基於上述,本發明將第一罩幕層與第二罩幕層部分重疊,以於第二導體層與隔離結構之間形成保護層。此保護層可防止下方的隔離結構在蝕刻製程期間過度損耗,以減少多晶矽殘留物缺陷的產生,進而提升半導體記憶元件的可靠度與良率。Based on the above, the present invention partially overlaps the first mask layer and the second mask layer to form a protective layer between the second conductor layer and the isolation structure. The protective layer can prevent the underlying isolation structure from being excessively worn during the etching process, so as to reduce the generation of polysilicon residue defects, thereby improving the reliability and yield of the semiconductor memory device.
為讓本發明的上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉實施例,並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。In order to make the above-mentioned features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the following specific embodiments are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
以下段落之半導體記憶元件是以快閃記憶體(Flash)為例。但本發明不以此為限。The semiconductor memory devices in the following paragraphs are based on flash memory (Flash) as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
請參照圖1A,本實施例提供一種半導體記憶元件的製造方法,其步驟如下。首先,提供基底100,基底100可例如是矽基底。具體來說,基底100包括陣列區R1、周邊區R2以及位於陣列區R1與周邊區R2之間的邊界區R3。在一實施例中,陣列區R1可具有多個記憶單元於其中;周邊區R2可具有多個邏輯電路(例如是電晶體)於其中。在其他實施例中,周邊區R2亦可以有記憶體於其中。1A, this embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor memory device, the steps of which are as follows. First, a
接著,在陣列區R1的基底100上形成第一堆疊結構110並在周邊區R2的基底100上形成第二堆疊結構120a。第一堆疊結構110包括第一閘介電層112與第一導體層114。第二堆疊結構120a包括第二閘介電層122a與第二導體層124a。Next, a
在本實施例中,第一閘介電層112可例如是穿隧介電層。第一閘介電層112的材料包括氧化矽、氮氧化矽、氮化矽或其他合適的介電材料,其形成方法包括化學氣相沉積法或爐管氧化法等,且其厚度可為2 nm至20 nm。在本實施例中,第一導體層114可例如是浮置閘極。第一導體層114的材料包括經摻雜的多晶矽、未經摻雜的多晶矽或其組合,其形成方法可以是化學氣相沉積法,且其厚度可為10 nm至150 nm。In this embodiment, the first gate
在一實施例中,第二閘介電層122a可與第一閘介電層112同時形成,且第二導體層124a可與第一導體層114同時形成,但本發明不以此為限。在替代實施例中,第二閘介電層122a的材料與第一閘介電層112的材料相同或不同。第二導體層124a的材料亦與第一導體層114的材料相同或不同。In one embodiment, the second gate
然後,在基底100中形成多個隔離結構101。具體來說,隔離結構101自第一堆疊結構110與第二堆疊結構120a的頂面向基底100的方向延伸。如圖1A所示,隔離結構101可位於陣列區R1與周邊區R2之間的邊界區R3的基底100中,以分隔第一堆疊結構110與第二堆疊結構120a。另外,隔離結構101可位於陣列區R1的基底100中,以分隔相鄰兩個第一堆疊結構110。此外,隔離結構101可位於周邊區R2的基底100中,以分隔相鄰兩個第二堆疊結構120a。在一實施例中,隔離結構101包括隔離材料,其可例如是高密度電漿氧化物層或旋塗式玻璃(spin-on glass,SOG)。在替代實施例中,隔離結構101可以是淺溝渠隔離結構(shallow trench isolation,STI)。Then, a plurality of
如圖1A所示,在形成隔離結構101之後,在基底100上全面性地形成緩衝層103,並在緩衝層103上全面性地形成保護層102。在一實施例中,緩衝層103包括氧化物層,例如是氧化矽,其形成方法包括化學氣相沉積法或爐管氧化法等,且其厚度可為5 nm至100 nm。保護層102包括氮化物層,例如是氮化矽、氮氧化矽或其組合,其形成方法包括化學氣相沉積法,且其厚度可為5 nm至100 nm。As shown in FIG. 1A, after the
請參照圖1A與圖1B,在保護層102上形成第一罩幕層104。具體來說,如圖1B所示,第一罩幕層104自陣列區R1橫越邊界區R3,並延伸覆蓋周邊區R2的一部分。第一罩幕層104例如是光阻材料。1A and 1B, a
接著,以第一罩幕層104當作蝕刻罩幕,進行第一蝕刻製程,以移除部分保護層102、部分緩衝層103、第二導體層124a以及部分隔離結構101。在第一蝕刻製程期間,第二閘介電層122a可用以當作蝕刻停止層,以防止基底100的損傷。在一實施例中,第一蝕刻製程包括乾式蝕刻製程,例如是反應離子蝕刻製程(Reactive Ion Etching,RIE)。在進行第一蝕刻製程之後,如圖1B所示,進一步地移除第二閘介電層122a,以暴露出周邊區R2的基底100。Next, using the
請參照圖1B與圖1C,移除第一罩幕層104之後,在周邊區R2的基底100上形成第二閘介電層122。在一實施例中,第二閘介電層122的材料包括氧化矽、氮氧化矽、氮化矽或其他合適的介電材料,其形成方法包括化學氣相沉積法或爐管氧化法等,且其厚度可為2 nm至50 nm。此外,由於陣列區R1與周邊區R2中的半導體元件的操作電壓不同,因此,第二閘介電層122的厚度可大於第一閘介電層112的厚度。1B and 1C, after removing the
接著,在基底100上全面性地形成導體材料124’。如圖1C所示,導體材料124’覆蓋保護層102a、緩衝層103a、隔離結構101以及第二閘介電層122。在一實施例中,導體材料124’包括經摻雜的多晶矽、未經摻雜的多晶矽或其組合,其形成方法可以是化學氣相沉積法,且其厚度可為50 nm至300 nm。之後,在周邊區R2的導體材料124’上形成第二罩幕層106。在一實施例中,第二罩幕層106可以是光阻材料。Next, a conductive material 124' is formed on the
請參照圖1C與圖1D,以第二罩幕層106當作蝕刻罩幕,進行第二蝕刻製程,以移除部分導體材料124’,藉此形成第二導體層124。在第二蝕刻製程期間,保護層102a可用以當作蝕刻停止層。在此情況下,如圖1D所示,保護層102a外露於第二導體層124。在一實施例中,第二蝕刻製程包括乾式蝕刻製程,例如是RIE。1C and 1D, using the
請參照圖1D與圖1E,在移除第二罩幕層106之後,以第二導體層124當作蝕刻罩幕,進行濕式蝕刻製程,移除部分保護層102a及其下方的緩衝層103a、部分隔離結構101,以暴露出第一堆疊結構101。在此情況下,如圖1E所示,第一堆疊結構110突出於隔離結構101的頂面101t,以在第一堆疊結構101之間形成凹陷115。凹陷115暴露出第一導體層114的部分側壁,其可增加第一導體層114與後續形成的第三導體層134(如圖1F所示)之間的接觸面積,進而提升閘極耦合率(Gate-Coupling Ratio,GCR)。在一實施例中,所述濕式蝕刻製程可包括多道蝕刻步驟。舉例來說,可先進行第一蝕刻步驟,移除由氮化物所構成的保護層102a,接著,再進行第二蝕刻步驟,以移除由氧化物所構成的緩衝層103a及其下方的隔離結構101。在替代實施例中,第一蝕刻步驟可例如使用含有磷酸的蝕刻液以移除氮化物;而第二蝕刻步驟則是例如使用緩衝氫氟酸(BHF)以移除氧化物,但本發明不以此為限。1D and 1E, after removing the
值得注意的是,第一罩幕層104(如圖1B所示)與第二罩幕層106(如圖1C所示)部分重疊在重疊區域OP(如圖1D所示)。在一實施例中,重疊區域OP可介於0.3微米(μm)與1.0微米之間。在進行上述濕式蝕刻製程之後,保護層102b形成在第一罩幕層104與第二罩幕層106的重疊區域OP,如圖1E所示。另外,從垂直方向來看,保護層102b則是形成在第二導體層124與隔離結構101(或緩衝層103b)之間。也就是說,第二導體層124配置在第二閘介電層122上且延伸覆蓋隔離結構101上的保護層102b。此保護層102b可避免其下方的隔離結構101在上述濕式蝕刻製程期間過度損耗,以進一步地保護其上方的第二導體層124的底面,進而降低多晶矽殘留物缺陷的產生。在一些實施例中,保護層102b下方的未被蝕刻的隔離結構可視為另一保護層101b。以下,將隔離結構101的頂面101t上方的隔離結構稱為保護層101b,其餘的則稱為隔離結構101a。如圖1E所示,保護層101b、保護層102b以及兩者之間的緩衝層103b可構成保護結構105。保護結構105可保護其上方的第二導體層124的底面,進而降低多晶矽殘留物缺陷的產生。換言之,本實施例之保護結構105可有效地提升半導體記憶元件的可靠度與良率。It is worth noting that the first mask layer 104 (as shown in FIG. 1B) and the second mask layer 106 (as shown in FIG. 1C) partially overlap in the overlapping area OP (as shown in FIG. 1D). In an embodiment, the overlapping area OP may be between 0.3 micrometers (μm) and 1.0 micrometers. After the above-mentioned wet etching process, the
另外,由於第一罩幕層104(如圖1B所示)自陣列區R1橫越邊界區R3,並延伸覆蓋R2周邊區的一部分,因此,邊界區R3的隔離結構101基本上被保護層102a所保護住。也就是說,邊界區R3的隔離結構101僅經歷過第二蝕刻製程,而未經歷過第一蝕刻製程。因此,邊界區R3的隔離結構101不會被過度蝕刻。在此情況下,如圖1E所示,邊界區R3的隔離結構101的頂面101t實質上為平面,以利於後續所形成的層的沉積。此外,邊界區R3的隔離結構101的頂面101t高於周邊區R2的基底100的頂面100t(或第二閘介電層122的形成表面),且高於陣列區R1的基底100的頂面100t’(或第一閘介電層112的形成表面)。In addition, since the first mask layer 104 (as shown in FIG. 1B) crosses the border region R3 from the array region R1 and extends to cover a part of the peripheral region of R2, the
請參照圖1E與圖1F,在基底100上依序形成介電層132與第三導體層134。介電層132共形地覆蓋第一堆疊結構110、隔離結構101以及第二堆疊結構120。在一實施例中,介電層132可例如是由氧化矽/氮化矽/氧化矽所構成的複合層結構,但本發明不以此為限。在一實施例中,第三導體層134的材料包括經摻雜的多晶矽、未經摻雜的多晶矽或其組合。第三導體層134可以是控制閘極;而介電層132可以是第一導體層114(亦即浮置閘極)與第三導體層134(亦即控制閘極)之間的層間介電層。1E and 1F, a
在一實施例中,第三導體層134的形成包括:全面性地形成第三導體材料;在第三導體材料上依序形成碳材料、氮化物材料以及光阻圖案140;以光阻圖案140為蝕刻罩幕,移除部分碳材料與部分氮化物材料,以形成由碳層136與氮化物層138所構成的硬罩幕層HM;以硬罩幕層HM為蝕刻罩幕,移除部分第三導體材料,以暴露出介電層132。在此情況下,如圖1F所示,第三導體層134覆蓋陣列區R1與部分邊界區R3,而未覆蓋周邊區R2。In one embodiment, the formation of the third
綜上所述,本發明將第一罩幕層與第二罩幕層部分重疊,以於第二導體層與隔離結構之間形成保護層。此保護層可防止下方的隔離結構在蝕刻製程期間過度損耗,以減少多晶矽殘留物缺陷的產生,進而提升半導體記憶元件的可靠度與良率。另外,邊界區的隔離結構的頂面實質上為平面,其可利於後續所形成的層的沉積,進而增加製程裕度與良率。In summary, the present invention partially overlaps the first mask layer and the second mask layer to form a protective layer between the second conductor layer and the isolation structure. The protective layer can prevent the underlying isolation structure from being excessively worn during the etching process, so as to reduce the generation of polysilicon residue defects, thereby improving the reliability and yield of the semiconductor memory device. In addition, the top surface of the isolation structure in the boundary region is substantially flat, which can facilitate the deposition of subsequent layers, thereby increasing the process margin and yield.
