INTRODUCTION TO THE INVENTION (丨) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing integrated circuits, and in particular, to a method of forming a conductor gate layer and a local interconnect at the same time (local interconnect) ) Manufacturing method of semiconductor element. When the integration degree of integrated circuits increases, so that the surface of the wafer cannot provide enough area to make the required interconnects, in order to match the transistor shrink, the increased interconnect requirements require two or more metal layers. Design has gradually become the way that many integrated circuits must adopt. The local interconnect is an interconnect process that locally connects the gate of the metal-oxide semiconductor transistor circuit to the source / drain. Because local interconnects are used to improve the integration of components, it is a method often used in deep sub-micron processes. Figures 1A to 1D are schematic cross-sectional views showing a conventional manufacturing process of a local interconnect. First, referring to FIG. 1A, a substrate 10 is provided, and an isolation region 11 is formed in the substrate 10 to define an active region of the device. Next, gate oxide layers 12a and 12b, a patterned polycrystalline silicon gate layer 13a, and a patterned polycrystalline silicon gate layer 13b are sequentially formed on the element active region of the substrate 10 in this order. Thereafter, a source / drain region 14a and a source / drain region 14b are formed in the substrate 10 on the two sides of the complex silicon gate layer 13a and the complex silicon gate layer 13b, respectively, and covered with the complex The spacers 15a and 15b on the side walls of the crystalline silicon gate layer 13a and the complex crystal sand gate layer 13b. Then, referring to FIG. 1B, a self-align suicide process is performed to separate the source / drain regions 14a, 14b, the polycrystalline silicon gate layer 13a, and the polycrystalline silicon gate layer, respectively. 13b forms metal silicide 3 This paper size is applicable to China's national standard (€; > 1 $) 8 4 specifications (210 father 297 mm) '------------- pack- ---- Order ------ (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumers 'Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 3660TWF.DOC / 002 Printed by the Consumers' Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ——AaM :; A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (>) Layers 16a, 16b and 17a, nb. Because titanium silicide has the advantages of low resistance and better controllability in the process, it is currently the most commonly used metal silicide half-bucket. Thereafter, please refer to FIG. 1C, and cover the substrate 10 with a titanium nitride (TiN) 18 layer. Then, a patterned photoresist layer 19 is overlaid on the titanium nitride layer 18 to define a region of a local interconnect. Then 'Please refer to FIG. 1D, remove the titanium nitride layer 18 not covered by the patterned photoresist layer I9 by etching, and then remove the patterned photoresist layer 19' so that the remaining titanium nitride layer 18a Local interconnections connecting the source / drain regions 13b and the polycrystalline silicon gate layer 13b can be formed through the metal silicide layers 16b and 17b '. In the above method, a metal silicide that can reduce the sheet resistance is formed in the polycrystalline silicon gate and the source / drain region by an auto-aligned silicide process. Then, it passes through the titanium nitride layer 18a. It is formed to achieve the purpose of connecting the source / drain region 13b and the polycrystalline silicon gate layer 13b. However, with the increasing miniaturization of integrated circuits, the size of the gate line width must also be relatively reduced in order to increase the degree of component integration. However, with the reduction of the gate line amplitude, it is generally found that cutting titanium will produce a narrow linewidth effect, so that the sheet resistance of the titanium silicide formed on the polycrystalline silicon gate layer decreases with size. The increase leads to the fact that the advantage of providing lower gate sheet resistance due to the lower resistivity of titanium oxide is no longer available. In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a metal-oxide semiconductor, which can be applied to the process of a highly integrated integrated circuit to reduce the sheet resistance of the gate and source / drain regions. 4 (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page)

Description of the invention (?) The material of 240 includes metal. The preferred material is, for example, metal tungsten or metal copper. Its formation method can be chemical vapor deposition, sputtering or electroplating. . When the conductive layer 240 is made of a metal material, it is preferable to form a conductive layer 240 on the substrate 2000. 'An adhesive layer / barrier layer 238 can be formed on the substrate 2000' to avoid the conductive layer 240 and the polycrystalline material made of metal. The silicon gate layers 212 or 214 generate an interdiffusion effect and increase their adhesion to each other. A typical barrier layer / adhesive layer 238 is selected from the group consisting of titanium, titanium nitride, tungsten nitride, tungsten silicide, giant, and nitride. When the material of the conductive layer 240 is tungsten metal, the preferred barrier layer / adhesive layer 238 includes a group consisting of titanium, titanium nitride, tungsten nitride, and tungsten silicide. When the material of the conductive layer 240 is copper metal, the preferred barrier layer / adhesive layer 238 includes molybdenum and a nitride group. After that, please refer to FIG. 2E to perform a planarization process to remove the conductive layer 240 and the barrier layer / adhesive layer 238 covering the dielectric layer 228, so that the conductor layer 240a and the barrier layer / adhesion layer that remain in the opening 234 The layer 238a forms a conductive gate layer 242 electrically coupled to the polycrystalline silicon gate layer 2U; and the conductive layer 240b and the barrier layer / adhesive layer 238b remaining in the local interconnect openings 236 form an electrically coupled layer The crystalline silicon gate layer 214 and the local interconnects 244 of the source / drain regions 226. A preferred planarization process is a chemical mechanical honing method, which hones the conductive layer 24 until the barrier layer / adhesion is exposed. The surface of the layer 238 is then wet-etched to remove the barrier layer / adhesive layer 238 overlying the dielectric layer 2M. As the conductive gate layer 242 and local interconnects 244 of the present invention can be used The metal material is used to form it. Therefore, the gate electrode and the local paper size can be increased. The Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm) is applicable.
