Description of the invention (() The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing integrated circuit component isolation structures, and in particular has A manufacturing method of a shallow trench isolation structure (Shallow Trench Isolation; STI) is used to avoid the formation of microscratch on the shallow trench isolation structure. The element isolation area is used to prevent carriers from passing through the substrate and Adjacent elements move between adjacent elements. Traditionally, element isolation zones are formed in dense semiconductor circuits such as adjacent field effect transistors (FETs) in dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) to reduce Charge leakage generated by field-effect transistors. The device isolation region often extends in the form of a thick field oxide layer and is formed under the surface of a semiconductor substrate. The most traditional and common technology is local silicon oxidation (LOCOS). As LOCOS technology is becoming more mature, this technology can be used to obtain a reliable and effective component isolation structure at a lower cost. LOCOS still has a number of disadvantages, including problems related to known stress generation and the formation of bird's beak areas (Bird, s Beak) around the LOCOS field isolation structure. Especially the problems caused by the bird's beak area make small components "LOCOS field isolation structure cannot be effectively isolated. In order to solve the above problem, it is known to use shallow trench isolation structure as the element isolation structure. It is known that shallow trench isolation is also a common method of element isolation." Nitriding is generally used Silicon is used as a hard mask. Anisotropic etching is used to define steep trenches on a semiconductor substrate. The trenches are then filled with an oxide layer and provided as an element isolation structure. It has an upper surface with the same height as the original base surface. However, the conventional shallow trench isolation structure also has some problems. These problems will be detailed below (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)-Eding.HI In i ^ l I --- · ί-HI II li—! i— __ J ^ .--HI min, one -11---I-B--1-- HI 1 ^ 1 ^^ 1 Hi 1 — Im In 1 ii In m3381.doc / 002 3381.doc / 002 Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V. Description of invention u) Detailed description. Figures 1A to 1E are sectional views showing the manufacturing process of a conventional shallow trench isolation area. Referring to FIG. 1A, an oxide layer n is formed on a silicon substrate 10. The oxide layer I2 serves as a pad oxide layer (Pad 0xide Layer), and is used to protect the surface of the substrate 10, and is formed on a subsequent gate oxide layer. Removed before. Thereafter, a silicon nitride layer 14 is formed by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Then, a photoresist layer 18 is formed on the silicon nitride layer 14 to define a trench, wherein the photoresist layer 18 has been lithographically etched to define a region where a shallow trench isolation structure is to be formed. Next, referring to FIG. 1B, the photoresist layer 18 is used as an etching mask, and the silicon nitride layer 14, the pad oxide layer 12, and the substrate 10 are sequentially etched to form a silicon nitride layer 14a and a pad oxide layer 12a. The trench 20 is formed on the substrate, and then the etching resist 18 is removed. Referring to FIG. 1C, a thermal oxidation method is used to form a linear oxide layer 22 on the surface of the substrate 10 in the trench 20. Then, an oxide layer 32 is formed and overflows the trench 20, and the oxide layer 32 will have a depression corresponding to the trench 20. Next, please refer to FIG. 1D. After the compaction, the chemical oxide polishing (CMP) method is used to remove the excess oxide layer 32 on the silicon nitride layer 24, and the silicon nitride layer 24 is used for honing. At the end point, the oxide plug 32a in the trench 20 region is left. However, during the chemical mechanical honing step, the surface of the oxide plug 33a will be rubbed by the slurry and honing particles, which will rub the surface of the wafer 4 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

Description of the invention (>) Many fine scratches 21 are produced, and the chemical mechanical honing is completed After the steps, these fine scratches 25 are difficult to remove. In addition, honing over a long period of time will cause the problem of dishing (Dishing) 35, and will cause the unevenness of the entire wafer surface, that is, the effect of planarization is extremely poor. Next, please refer to FIG. 1E to remove the silicon nitride layer 24. The method is, for example, using a hot phosphoric acid (H3P04) solution. The pad oxide layer 12a is subsequently removed by hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching. Although some of the oxide plugs 32a 'will be removed when the pad oxide layer 12a is removed to form the oxide plugs 32b, the surface of the oxide plugs 32b still has many fine scratches 25a and dishing 35a. . Where these scratches 21a and dishing 35a occur, the conductive material will remain in the subsequent MOS process, resulting in bridging or electrical shorts, so the yield of the product will be reduced. . Subsequent semiconductor processes are well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be repeated here. Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a shallow trench isolation structure. It can avoid micro scratches on the surface of the oxidation plug caused by the chemical mechanical honing step, so as to avoid bridging phenomenon or electrical short circuit, thereby improving Product yield. Another object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method of a shallow trench isolation structure ', which can avoid the poor uniformity of the wafer surface and the problem of dishing.

The oxide layer 112 is formed, for example, by a thermal oxidation method, and has a thickness of about 50 to 500 people. Then, a silicon nitride layer II4 is formed by a chemical vapor deposition method as a mask layer. Then, a photoresist layer II12 is formed on the silicon nitride layer II4 to define a trench.

Generally speaking, an anisotropic etching process is used to form a g channel 12 in the substrate 100, which has a depth of about 2000 to 5000 A. After the trench 120 is etched, the photoresist layer 118 is removed using a conventional ashing process. Please refer to FIG. 2C ′. Then, for example, a thermal oxidation method is used to form a 'lining oxide layer I22' on the surface of the substrate 100 in the trenches 1-20. Afterwards, an oxide layer 132 is formed to fill the trench 120 ′. For example, a method such as chemical vapor deposition is used, but the deposited thickness is different from the conventional one.
