Description of the invention (1) Background of the invention (1) Field of the invention The present invention relates generally to semiconductors, in particular to the formation of tungsten (W) on integrated circuit (1C) wafers Interlayer connection (ILC) or "dielectric plug" between metallized conductive layers to avoid the harmful "volcanic effect" that causes wafer defects. This method is also applied to the formation of the MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) device base source: the "contact plug" of the pole, the drain, and the gate. (2) Description of related art The semiconductor device has only been "individualized" After completing the specified work in a specified manner, it reaches its functional state. "Individualization" is accomplished by metallization in a defined area of the semiconductor matrix. This method first begins by forming an electric field isolation region. Then, for example, in M In the 0S method, a conductive gate is formed on the dielectric body. The source and the drain are heavily doped. The interlayer dielectric layer is deposited on these regions to serve as a dielectric insulator. Then, the electric hole is opened in the interlayer dielectric body (for example , Etching), and then the metal deposited in these holes forms the “contact plug” of the contact source, the suction and the gate area. Depending on the degree of integration of the IC chip, one or more metal layers with appropriate circuit patterns or "individualization" are deposited alternately with the interlayer dielectric layer. Connections between metal layers are provided through dielectric plugs. For high-density, sub-micron integrated circuit devices that require small form factors, 3 or 4 layers of metallized interconnects are required. Small form factors are used to maintain device density as much as possible At the same time, the via density is also maintained by stacking an electrical hole on top of the other, as shown in Figure 1 (A). If the sidewall of the electrical hole is vertical, it is more likely, otherwise, a sharp cone For the side walls, the dielectric layer must be hierarchical, as shown in Figure 1 (Β). (In Figure 1 (Α) and -4-This paper scale uses the Chinese National Standards (CNS) Α4 specification (210X 297 mm) — Binding line (please read the precautions on the back and then fill out this page) Printed a description of invention (UB) for the consumer consumption cooperation of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Areas 10 and 12 are the first and second metal layers, respectively. i4, 16 are the first and second insulators, and 18, 20 are the seventh and second dielectric layers passing through each insulator.) The resulting pattern size increases and the packing density is greatly reduced. Deposited on these The metal block of the vertical electric hole is called " plug, 0 The integration of metallization of various layers, especially the metal plugs of the openings between the layers and the interlayer dielectrics-which are distinguished as "contact plugs" on the source gate drain, and the "dielectric plugs" between the metal layers themselves, in 1 <;: The manufacture of wafers is very important. When the metal is deposited on the surface, it is desirable that the metal surface and the other contact surface gate be a solid, smooth and continuous interface. Conversely, under certain circumstances, it is usually found to protrude from each other Rough and hard interface for spike formation, and vice versa. Traditionally, this "spike formation" and the diffusion of metal into the semiconductor substrate are the two most common problems encountered when metallization. Other problems recently in tungsten (w), contact "and WF6 + Ti — caused by the metallization process of the “dielectric” plug

Generally, the barrier layer described in US Patent No. 5,232,87 1 is used to prevent the spike formation problem: contact spike formation meeting Occurs when the device is manufactured, and the device is exposed to high temperatures. It is a phenomenon related to the solubility of solids. When two dissimilar substances come into contact with each other, there will be a substance that acts as a balanced concentration in the other substance. For example, When pure silicon is in contact with pure aluminum, the interface of the contact surface is initially smooth. In subsequent processes such as high-temperature treatment of alloys, because it can support a larger amount of silicon, silicon can move into the metal and leave holes. On the contrary, Metal can be diffused through dense doping and bonding, and it will increase the substrate -5 paper standard money!] ® Homescale (CNS) A4 specification (21QX297mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) • Binding · Printed by the Staff Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ^ 9 ^ 144 A7 _ B7 5. Invention description (3) Increase the chance of leakage current or short circuit. Two phenomena (silicon enters aluminum and aluminum Into silicon) The result is an aluminum-silicon interface that is not smooth and spikes. This process is called spike formation. Ideally, the barrier layer is to avoid the formation and dissolution of spikes in one substance in another substance. In fact, It may not be so ideal. The formation of spikes can be reduced by using precious inscription alloys such as Al-l% Si, or using barrier materials such as titanium-tungsten (Ti-W). In fact, commonly used sprayed nitride “TiN” is used as a barrier layer. However, TiN itself has problems. First, its structure is a columnar structure with gaps when it is sprayed on the surface of the spraying tank. The gap is called a particle boundary, and when metallized , Will give the metal a chance to reach the underlying surface through movement. If the underlying surface is the substrate, then the peak formation and metal diffusion will occur in the sink-source-gate area, which, as described above, is an undesirable phenomenon. The art has proposed many solutions to the problem of spike formation and diffusion. In a metallization process, an attempt is made to "fill" ("fill barrier") with oxygen (〇〇 molecules) before the deposition of the metal Yus Woolf's Book "VL SI Age", Lattice Press, Sunset Shipwreck, California, 1 9 9 〇, Volume 2 'Page 1 2 3) Treatment' to fill oxygen columns between columns The gap or particle boundary prevents the metal from passing through or moving to the underlying substrate. However, it is not very effective to find that this milk-filling method is completed at atmospheric room temperature because the gas adsorption treatment at this time is not appropriate or reliable .Also—Proposed to go further, which uses atmospheric but high temperature treatment or electropolymerization enhanced reaction treatment. The result is still not completely effective. (US Patent No. 5,232,87 1). Another prior art still uses higher temperature to improve T i N Integrity, as described in US Patent No. 5,23 2,87 1, after the substrate is first coated with TiN, the substrate is about -6-This paper scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) A7 Β7 Employee's consumer cooperation with the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Du Printed 5. Description of the invention (4 60 ° C to 800eC in the rapid thermal implantation ionizer (RTA) Nitrogen treatment about 3 0 to 90 seconds. The high temperature causes the strengthening reaction between nitride and nitrogen, which greatly increases the composition of TiN than when it is exposed to the atmosphere at room temperature. The barrier layer forms a sealed condition to avoid spike formation or metal diffusion into the matrix. Then, the metal can be deposited without worrying about the integration of the barrier layer. Unfortunately, while solving one set of problems, RT A caused another set of problems downstream of the production line. A serious problem is the high temperature limit and the high temperature gradient that can be applied to the surface of the substrate. Unless the device frequently adjusts the hair, it will cause the winding of the substrate. If the substrate is wound, the lithographic pattern cannot align all the surfaces of the substrate. The manufacture of IC devices is an important operation. In addition, RT A cannot be used after metal treatment, which will cause the metal to dazzle and shorten the wire. In addition, RT A has been plagued by the failure of many devices and often limits its use to research tools. As mentioned above, the prior art has focused on trying to seal the particle boundaries of the barrier layer-to prevent the subsequent movement of the deposited metal in these spaces, as a method of avoiding the problem of spike formation and metal diffusion at the interface. There is also an unresolved issue with prior art. The so-called "volcanic effect" problem. The volcanic effect is caused by the reaction of specific substances that have entered the boundary of the barrier layer particles during metallization. These substances come from pollution in the manufacturing process or are hidden in the sidewalls of the pores between the dielectric layers. Etching compounds, or other by-products of metallization. When tungsten is metallized, the following reaction occurs: WF6 + Ti — TiFx + by-products, that is, tungsten fluoride (WF6) reacts with titanium (Ti) film to produce fluorine Titanium oxide (TiFx) plus some other by-products. It is ejected during metallization, and crater defects are generated, as shown in the enlarged plan view of area A of Figure 2, because titanium fluoride (TiFx)-is suitable for gas and paper.

Invention Instructions (5 ) Due to flow channeling, even if the particle boundary has been filled with "oxygen molecules, it is still easy to cause volcanic effect. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the" volcanic effect "and provide a semiconductor matrix The contact area and the paths connecting various metal layers, simplify the method of tungsten plug deposition process integrity. At the same time improve, | plug, contact resistance (Rc) 0 Another object of the present invention is on the substrate Improving the TiN barrier structure. This month ’s goal is to reduce production time, increase output, reduce exposure to external contaminants, and provide operational process and cost savings. These purposes are enhanced by first spraying in the follow-up The titanium film from the titanium nitride barrier layer is redundant. Then, titanium nitride is sputtered on the first titanium layer as a barrier layer for subsequent metal deposition. At this time, the substrate prepared in this way is introduced into the tungsten groove, and the substrate is This is exposed in situ to the prescribed nitrogen (NO plasma. Only nitrogen plasma is used to convert more nitride to more TiN in the first layer to fill the gaps between particle boundaries and seal the surface. Therefore The metal deposited subsequently does not move without the TiN barrier layer. In addition, the "filling" action takes place from the titanium layer upwards to flush out any residues and contaminants from the previous electricity Formation and cleaning of etching by-products. Therefore, to prevent the emission of pollutants and the "volcanic effect", the substrate is exposed to the nitrogen plasma as described above, so that ions are implanted into the TiN barrier layer at an appropriate temperature, and then , The tungsten metal is still deposited in the same tank of the plasma to make the process complete. The barrier layer will be properly sealed at this time and there is no need to worry about the reaction -8- This & scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 Gongqing_ Qiao ------ (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) • Binding · Stranding 293144 A7 B7

Description of the invention (8 layers of corrosion make tungsten a better diffusion layer. As seen in the present invention, the advantages of depositing a titanium film as described above are retained without harmful volcanic effects. For this purpose, in argon-nitrogen (Ar_nz) The environment performs the nozzle plating deposition method, so that nitrogen is added to the Ti: w film. Nitrogen improves the barrier properties of the film by 'filling in' the particle boundary, and substantially reduces the rate of interdiffusion. More importantly, it passes TiN The formation of titanium to reduce the inversion of titanium in the film Most importantly, T1 and T1N accept in-situ N2-plasma in this way, and avoid the "volcanic effect" as described in the introduction. The strict parameters of the sputtering method are 2-2.5 milliseconds for Ti deposition Torr (mT) 'and 1N of butadiene are deposited at a system pressure of 3 · 5-4m T. The sputtering environment requires 36 standard cubic centimeters (sccm) of argon (Ar) for τ 丨 and 5〇sccm for TiN Ar and 100 sccm of N2. It should be noted that the first layer of titanium is also important for the present invention 'because it is the source of additional barrier material needed to fill the gaps between particle boundaries after TiN deposition. Its preferred thickness is Between 400 and 600 microns. Secondly, the main step of the present invention is the integration of TiN by exposing it to nitrogen (N2) plasma in the tungsten deposition tank. Better parameters in this environment for

Shao Central Standards Bureau employee consumer cooperative printed A7 B7 V. Invention description (9) DF power (watt ) 80-120 time (seconds) 90-120 a) The preferred temperature is about 4 2 5 C. At higher temperatures, such as RTA with a bath temperature of up to 650 ° C, it is very easy to encounter in the process of dielectric plug, volcanic effect. It is mainly found in the corners (4 1) and the shoulders (4 2) of the hole, which is caused by the relatively poor stage coverage and the higher longitudinal stress formed by the Ding and Ding iN films at these locations Weaknesses, higher temperatures result in crater defects due to the combination of cold dye and expansion of the above gaseous material (TiFx) and forcing it away. b) ^ The optimal conditions for N2 plasma require a system pressure in the range of 0.3 to 0.6 Torr. Under these relatively high pressure conditions than conventional use, nitrogen is easier to "fill" and "fill" into the particle boundary of the TiN barrier layer. C) The plasma environment contains about 200-300 Sccm of nitrogen. Nitrogen contributes to the generation of titanium nitride in the barrier layer. It is also the source of filling "nitrogen into the particle boundary to close the metal diffusion path. D) The total time in the plasma tank (including the intermittent injection ion) is about 90 seconds. Compare it with RTA. It takes more than 150 seconds to increase the output of the present invention by about 30% (30%).
