Description of the invention (1) The present invention relates to a semiconductor circuit manufacturing process, and in particular relates to a method for forming an electrical connection (contact) between a substrate and a conductor layer, and more particularly to a process using selective growth techniques to form a ball plug contact . Semiconductor integrated circuits are made up of millions of active components formed on / in a silicon substrate (or well). Active components are connected together to form functional circuits and devices. These components are connected by contact and multilayer interconnections. A cross-sectional view of a conventional multilayer interconnect structure 100 is shown in FIG. 1A. The interconnect structure generally has a first metallization or interconnect layer 102 (typically aluminum alloy or tungsten), a second metallization layer 104, and sometimes even a third or fourth metallization layer. Inner layer dielectric 106 (ILDS), such as silicon dioxide, is to electrically insulate different metal layers from the silicon substrate or well 108. The electrical connection between the different interconnect layers is achieved via metal vias u0 formed in the ILD106. Similarly, the metal contact 112 electrically connects the interconnect layer with a component formed in the well 108. The metal through hole 11 and the contact 112 will be written as a via in the future. It is generally filled with tungsten 114 and has a titanium nitride barrier layer 16 and a titanium nitride barrier layer 116 to provide an adhesion layer for the crane metal 114. . This is because the recording shows poor adhesion to materials such as oxide ’metals, dreams and Wei Wu. As shown in FIG. 1B, in the conventional tungsten plug process, the barrier layer ι6 covers the contact hole 114 and the surface of the insulating layer. Secondly, Manket was deposited in the contact pads and on the surface of the insulation layer and then etched back. In small contact holes or high aspect ratio holes, the tungsten layer 114

Description of the invention (2) The "keyhole" that affects reliability and causes problems is formed. In addition, when the contact hole diameter becomes smaller, the adhesion layer 116 takes up more space, which makes the aspect ratio higher and makes the "key hole" problem more serious. At the same time, under some small contact diameters, the sidewall of the contact hole The adhesion layer on it will not be used because it takes up too much space and causes the "keyhole" of the crane. The problem with the metallized through holes 110 and 112 is that the titanium nitride adhesion layer is made by sputtering. The resulting sputtering process generally exhibits poor step coverage 118, as shown in Figure 1A. Poor step coverage will cause problems with the reliability (open circuit) and performance (increased resistance) of the interconnect structure. When reducing the size of vias to get higher density circuits, step coverage will become worse and unacceptable. This problem will be more complicated when forming small vias with vertical sidewalls. Only The titanium nitride barrier layer formed by the sputtering method can be used reliably when the aspect ratio of the through hole is less than 3.0. The titanium nitride barrier layer formed by the sputtering method will not be suitable for future ULSI with aspect ratio greater than 4.0. Circuit. Central Ministry of Economic Affairs Prospective employee consumer cooperatives Indo-China chemical vapor deposition (CVD) titanium nitride adhesion layer can be regarded as a replacement for the titanium nitride barrier layer formed by the sputtering method. Compared with the sputtering method, the CVD process generally shows a better step. TiClj unfortunately, CVD titanium nitride requires a high temperature TiCLj process (600 ° 0. Such high temperature processes are not suitable for certain layers in multilayer metallization structures. In addition, TiCl4 gas may be incorporated into the barrier layer In addition, its quality is even more important. In addition, CVD titanium nitride requires high cost and complicated equipment. In addition, 'tungsten silicide adhesion layer can also be used as titanium nitride adhesion. This paper applies Chinese national standard (CNS) / U specifications.

Unfortunately, tungsten vias with tungsten silicide adhesion layer will face " over-etching (Etch out) " problem, as shown in Figure 1C. That is, there is no electric pad etching chemical suitable for etching back the tungsten layer, and this chemical will not preferentially attack the tungsten silicide adhesion layer 2 〇2, and Causes over-etching. If the adhesion layer is etched, the tungsten metal is " popped out ", causing defects. Another problem with the plasma etch-back process is shown in Figure 1C, which consists of tungsten metal. 204 may refuse to enter the through hole during the etch-back. The plug formed in this way may seriously affect the planarization effect of the subsequent formation of the interconnect layer. Therefore, the tungsten through hole using the tungsten silicide adhesion layer is a bad process. In today's high-density multi-level integrated circuits, a reliable tungsten plug needs to be formed. The importance of overcoming the various difficulties mentioned above can be learned from the extended technologies developed towards this goal, such as related patents and technical literature A recent technology-related patent document was disclosed by US Patent No. 5,604,158 (Cadien et al.), Which shows an integrated tungsten silicide plug process in which a tungsten layer is deposited on a tungsten silicide layer Above. U.S. Patent No. 5,599,739 (Merchant et al.) Proposes a method for forming a town on a tungsten silicide layer. However, there is still a need for a method of forming a crane plug with a small diameter opening, without an adhesion layer on the side wall of the contact hole, and forming a contact with low resistance. One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a tungsten plug for forming a silicon substrate. The paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X29 *?

Description of the invention (5) Compared with the known technology, it has advantages in yield and cost. The selective tungsten plug deposition of the present invention reduces the need for a tungsten etch-back process and reduces the problem of over-etching of the adhesion layer. This method also reduces wrinkles and keyhole problems in crane embolism. The tungsten silicide barrier layer 34 of the present invention increases the contact's conductivity and can make faster devices. The tungsten silicide barrier layer 34 of the present invention reduces the need for TiW or TiN " adhesive layer ", so that a smaller plug contact can be formed. Reducing the barrier layer on the contact opening sidewall allows more tungsten plug space in the contact hole. This extra space reduces the diameter of the contact plug opening. This will reduce the keyhole problem 'and allow the crane plug to form in the smaller diameter contact via the opening. Similarly, because the tungsten silicide barrier layer 34 can be used as an adhesion layer (to improve the adhesion between tungsten and the substrate), the selective deposition of tungsten plugs is simpler and has a wider process space. In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the following describes in detail the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings, as follows: Brief description of the drawings: Central Bureau of Standards, Ministry of Economic Affairs Figures 1A to 1C printed by the Paige Consumer Cooperatives are cross-sectional views of the manufacturing method of contact detection of conventional techniques; 2 to 5 are cross-sectional views of the method of manufacturing plug contact of semiconductor memory elements of the present invention And Figure 6 is a flowchart of the steps (602, 603, 604, 605) of the process in Figures 2 to 5 of the present invention.

The rapid annealing temperature of the substrate is between 500 ~ 800 ° C, preferably between 650 ~ 750 ° C. It is placed in Ar gas, and the reaction time is about 15 ~ 60 seconds. The layer 34 of the present invention is used as an adhesion layer and a barrier layer to increase the application range of the subsequent tungsten plug process. Referring again to FIG. 5, the tungsten plug 36 is selectively deposited on the first thin tungsten silicide layer 34 and fills the first opening 24. Tungsten is not deposited on the first insulating layer. Through the reduced pressure CVD method, it is better that the WF6 gas and the H2 gas undergo a reduction reaction, and the tungsten layer is selectively grown in the opening (or through hole). Alternatively, a reduction reaction between WF6 gas and SiH4 gas may be used. This selective deposition reduces the need for an etch-back step. The ratio of SiH4 to WF6 used in the selective deposition of tungsten plug 36 is between about 0.55 and 1.3, preferably greater than 1.0; the pressure at which it is located is between 175 and 225 mTorr, preferably about 200 mTorr Ear; its deposition rate is between 4000 ~ 6000A / min, preferably about 5000A / min. The thickness of the plug 36 is between 5000 and 6000A, preferably about 5000A. The invention provides a method for forming a tungsten plug contact with an RTP self-aligned tungsten silicide barrier layer, which uses a selective tungsten CVD process. The present invention overcomes many of the shortcomings of conventional techniques. Compared with the conventional technology, the present invention has advantages in productivity and cost. The choice of thorium tungsten plug 36 in the present invention reduces the need for the tungsten etch-back process and reduces the excessive adhesion layer. 10 The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X29 * 7 mm) (Please read the back (Please fill in this page again)
