Description of the invention (2) An insulating film material suitable for silicon ’devices. The dry etching of the silicon X nitrogen y layer is also applicable to the same gas composition as the etching of the silicon X layer. However, by using the silicon-oxygen X layer to etch ions and auxiliary reactions as the main mechanism, the fluorine-based free radical reaction mechanism is used to etch in accordance with the silicon X-nitrogen y layer system, and the etching speed is also faster than that of the oxygen-X layer. Among the manufacturing steps of silicon and devices, there is a need for a high-selection engraving step between a silicon oxide X layer and a silicon X nitrogen y. In addition, as the device becomes more sophisticated, the number of cases where the silicon X-nitrogen y layer is formed as an etch stop layer to prevent etching damage is increasing. Therefore, it is necessary to select a high level of the X-nitrogen y layer. Here are the X layers. Specifically, for example, in order to reduce the damage of the base month during over-etching, a thin silicon X-nitrogen-y layer is interposed on the surface of the substrate, or a so-called nitrogen-oxygen layer (silicon-oxide x layer / silicon-X-nitrogen layer / silicon-oxide X) is formed. When the silicon X-nitrogen y layer is laminated on the surface of the gate electrode, the etching of the silicon-oxygen X layer may not stop on the surface of the silicon-nitrogen y layer.

However, in the case of the dream oxygen X layer and the broken X atmosphere y layer, the value of the inter-atomic bonding energy of the stone-oxygen bond and the nitrogen-nitrogen bond is relatively close to the high selective etching, which makes it difficult. Recently, there have been several suggestions on a method for etching a silicon oxide-based material layer while maintaining a high selectivity for the silicon nitride-based material layer. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6 275568 provides a plasma having an ion density of 10 ”ions / cm 3 or more. In the etching device that may be generated, a fluorinated hydrocarbon compound represented by the general formula carbohydrate 7 (however, χ, y are natural numbers and satisfy the relationship of ySx + 2 ^) ^ General ten countries' national standards (〇 «) Eight-four grid (210 > < 297 mm) '------ 409306 A7 ________B7 V. Description of the invention (3) The plasma of the etching gas as the main body will be formed in silicon ^ nitrogen-based materials A method for selective etching of a silicon oxide X-based material layer on a layer. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-31797 provides a method for forming a silicon oxide-based material layer on a silicon nitride-based material layer. In the case of the oxidized stone material layer, the precise etching step of actually etching only the aforementioned silicon oxide material layer is performed, which is dry etching and etching using an fluorinated hydrocarbon compound such as octafluorocyclobutane as a main body. The aforementioned silica-based material The over-etching step of the remaining portion of the material layer is a dry etching method using an etching gas containing the aforementioned fluorohydrocarbon-based compound and an organic silicon compound containing nitrogen. According to the above-mentioned recommended technique, 'silicon oxide-based materials and silicon oxide-based materials The selective etching has a high selection ratio and excellent in-plane uniformity, making dry etching possible. However, although a high selection ratio can be ensured in the flat portion of the substrate, the level of the selection ratio in the corner portion is quite low. The selection ratio is not uniform, and it is difficult to say that it can be fully satisfied.

The inventors repeated the etching using various fluorine-containing compounds, and used octafluorocyclopentene and perfluorinated (substituted) rings as the etching gas. Olefins, and the extremely low content of impure substances with gas atoms in perfluorinated (substituted) cyclic olefins was found to be effective in achieving the above-mentioned objectives, and to complete the present invention.

Description of Invention (4) Thus, according to the present invention, a silicon oxide-based material layer is formed on a substrate on the silicon nitride-based material layer. The method for selectively dry-etching the fluorinated silicon-based material layer is characterized in that it provides a selective dry etching method using perfluoro (substituted) cycloolefin having an impurity content of gas atoms of 1,000 parts per million or less as an etching gas. Etching method. In order to implement the preferred form of the invention, the present invention uses a dry etching gas system for dry etching containing a perfluoro (substituted) cycloolefin. As long as a fluorine group can be generated by plasma, the perfluoro (substituted) cycloolefin can be used. Although the carbon number is not particularly limited, it is usually 3 to 8, more preferably 4 to 6, and most preferably 5. Specific examples of perfluoro (substituted) cycloolefins include perfluoro (substituted) cyclopropene; perfluoro (substituted) cyclobutene, perfluoro (substituted) cyclopentene, perfluoro (substituted) cyclohexene, Perfluoro (substituted) cycloheptene, perfluoro (substituted) cyclooctene, perfluoro (substituted) -1-fluorenylcyclobutene, perfluoro (substituted) -3-f-based cyclobutene, perfluoro (substituted ) -1-methylcyclopentene, perfluoro (substituted) -3-methylcyclopinene, etc. Among them, perfluoro (substituted) cyclobutene * perfluorinated (substituted) cyclopentene, perfluoro (substituted) cyclohexene, perfluoro (substituted) cyclobutene, perfluoro (substituted) cyclopentene, perfluoro (substituted) Substituted) -3-methylcyclobutene, perfluoro (substituted) -1-methylcyclopentene, perfluoro (substituted) -3-methylcyclopentene, etc. are more desirable, perfluoro (substituted) cyclopentene Most ideal. Perfluorinated (substituted) cyclic olefins are usually produced by fluorination using the corresponding gas-containing cyclic hydrocarbons as raw materials. For example, octa-cyclopentene is produced by reacting with potassium fluoride in an organic solvent. As a matter of course, the reaction product is mixed with reaction intermediates or byproducts that have not undergone the fluorination reaction at all.

The present invention is characterized in that it uses perfluoro (substituted) cycloolefin as an etching gas and the concentration of impurities contained in the perfluoro (substituted) cycloolefin having gas atoms is suppressed to less than 1000 parts per million * by satisfying such points Essentially, a substrate made of a silicon nitride-based material layer formed on the silicon nitride-based material layer can be etched with high selectivity. It is desirable that the concentration of the impurities having gas atoms is not less than 1,000 parts per million, and it is desirable to reduce it as much as possible. The ideal concentration is less than 100 parts per million, the ideal concentration is less than 10 parts per million, and the most ideal part is less than 1 part per million. Impurities with gas atoms are usually removed from perfluorinated (cyclic) cycloolefins by distillation using a boiling point difference from that of all (substituted) cycloolefins. Ideally, the fluorination reaction product is washed with water and dried, and then distilled under an inert gas atmosphere at normal pressure. The content of impurities containing chlorine atoms in perfluorinated (cyclic) cycloolefins can be determined by gas chromatography analysis. It is desired that, as an etching gas composed of a perfluorinated (substituted) cyclic olefin, as a dry etching gas', a gas containing a variety of commonly used gases can be used.

These additive gases may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Although the amount of the added gas varies depending on the extent to which the gastrointestinal material has spread to the gas source, it is usually less than 40 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the gas source for the dry etching including the whole gas (generation) ring thin smoke.的 系 2 5 5 parts by weight or less. In the dry etching method of the present invention, plasma erbium is irradiated during etching. Applications that produce ions / cubic centimeters or more in high density fields. In particular, it has a density of about 10 to 10 ions per cubic centimeter. The higher the performance is found, the more ideal it is to form a fine structure. When the plasma density is excessively small, the object of the present invention, especially the high etching rate, the high selectivity of the silicon oxide-based material layer cannot be achieved, and since precipitation of polymerized hafnium is often generated, it is not ideal. Β Ministry of Economic Affairs The Intellectual Property Bureau employee consumer cooperative prints dry etching systems using parallel plate type or magnetron type reactive ion etching methods that are conventionally used, which are generally not suitable for achieving the above-mentioned high-density plasma. As a method for realizing the above-mentioned high-density plasma, a spiral wave method, a high-frequency induction method, an ECR (electron cyclotron resonance) method, a TCP (transformer coupled plasma) method, and an ICP (inductively coupled plasma) method are recommended. )the way. In the dry etching method of the present invention, it is not necessary to select a specific range of the pressure during the etching of the dry etching gas and a gas composition containing other gases as desired, and the paper is generally guided in a vacuum degassing etching apparatus. The scale is applicable to China National Standards (CNS) A4 grid (210X297 hectares) Z --- 409S06 Α7 Β7 V. Description of the invention (7) The gas composition β ideal system with a pressure of 10 Torr ~ 1 (T5 Torr) 1〇-2 Torr to 103 Torr. The temperature of the substrate to be etched during the etching process is preferably controlled by a heating or cooling device at an arbitrary temperature. In fact, it is not necessary to control. The temperature of the substrate is controlled during the control. It is usually 0 ° C ~ 300 ° C, the ideal range is 50 ° C ~ 150 ° C. The more ideal range is 70 ° C ~ 130 ° C, and the most ideal range is 80 ° C ~ 1 ° C. 〇 Degree range selection. By controlling such a temperature, as with high selectivity to polysilicone and photoselective anti-surname agent selection, 'Nansu Narration becomes possible. The temperature of the substrate engraved by the shoe "Actually out of control "Etching" refers to the fact that when the temperature of the substrate to be etched is not controlled at all, it means that it is within ± 30% of the temperature reached by the substrate engraved by the last name ', which is within 20% of the ideal soil, and more preferably 100%. For the rest of the time, the temperature should be within / 0. Therefore, the rapid heat generation during etching can be eliminated by rapid cooling, but the cooling degree operation is included until the substrate to be etched is removed. In this way, 'there is actually no need to control the The temperature of the etching substrate, as long as the temperature can be maintained at the same temperature as the above-mentioned control, will have significant operational advantages. Although the processing time of the last name is about 10 seconds to 10 minutes, according to the method of the present invention, generally, Since high-speed etching is possible, it is also desirable from the viewpoint of improving productivity to be 10 seconds to 3 minutes. Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples. Manufacturing Example 1 The octachlorocyclopentene in dimethylformamide and fluorine were applied by a known method. This paper is sized to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 × 297 mm) ------- ---. ^ --- (please read the note on the back-item ^ before filling out this page) Order Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 409306 Α7 Β7 V. Description of the invention (8) The chemical reaction was synthesized Octafluorocyclopentene. Includes 1,42 million parts per million (samples) of impurities containing gas atoms when analyzed by gas chromatography after distillation and refining. 500 grams of this octafluorocyclopentene is divided into 50 G of ultrapure water was washed twice. After drying, it was distilled using a distillation device including a distillation column with a considerable 60 layers at a reflux ratio of 1. The precision distillation was performed under normal pressure and nitrogen environment. Each distillation fraction obtained by Germany was analyzed by gas chromatography to determine the content of impurities containing gas atoms. In this way, three types of samples with different contents of impurities were prepared by mixing the steaming ingredients with known contents of gas impurities. . When the content of impurities containing gas atoms contained in this sample was measured again by gas chromatography, it was 730 parts per million (sample 2), 2 parts per million (sample 3), and 0 0 05 parts. Rate (sample 4). Example 1 In this example, an "interlayer insulating film having a so-called oxynitride layer (silicon oxide layer / silicon oxide layer / silicon oxide layer / silicon oxide X layer) structure is etched and opened to obtain a contact hole a." Next, this embodiment is explained. The structure of a wafer used as an etching sample is exemplified. First, a silicon 3 nitrogen 4 head film layer is formed 'on a silicon substrate', and then a first layer of a silicon oxide 2 interlayer insulating film is formed. Furthermore, a silicon 3 nitrogen 4 etch stop layer is formed on the silicon dioxide 2 interlayer insulating film j-th layer. The etch stop layer is formed of an opening portion having an opening width of about 0-6 micrometers by using a protective layer of an anti-money agent. In addition, the silicon 3 nitrogen 4 etching stop layer is fully coated to form a second layer of a silicon oxide 2 interlayer insulating film, and a protective layer with a certain pattern is formed on the uppermost layer. In addition, the resist protective layer has an opening width of about 2 micrometers. The opening size is based on the paper standard (CNS > A4 size (210 X 297 mm)) _ π i: k-- (Please read it first.

The description of the invention (10) is engraved. As a result, Silicon 3 The silicon oxide insulating film layer on the nitrogen 4 head film layer and the silicon 3 nitrogen 4 etch stop layer can be etched very well with a certain pattern. In addition, the opening edge of the second 3 nitrogen 4 etch stop layer has not been etched at all. No deformation can be observed at all, and the polymer is not considered to be deposited on the pore wall. Comparative Example 1 Sample 1 of the manufacturing example was used, and other etching was performed in the same manner as in Example 1. As a result, the opening of the crushed 3 nitrogen 4 stop layer was left. It is etched in the same way as the insulating layer of oxidized stone. 'A certain pore size cannot be maintained. In particular, the etched stone 3 and nitrogen 4 caused significant deformation of the edge of the stop layer, and it is believed that the polymer precipitated on the hole wall. Above' Although there are three specific aspects of the present invention Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. Needless to say, the structure of the sample wafer, the etching device used for the etching conditions, or the type of the etching gas may be appropriately changed. Industrial application possibilities according to the present invention With the dry etching method, it becomes possible to achieve high selectivity in etching between the silicon oxide-based material layer and the silicon nitride-based material layer. Therefore, the present invention is designed in accordance with the fine design rules and is more suitable for high integration.
