Abstract

This invention discloses a method for eliminating the problem of key hole in the interpoly oxide (IPO). When fabricating the capacitor with the SAC process between the conductive layer structure, the polysilicon lower electrode of the capacitor is deposited by two stages, so as to avoid a short circuit between two separate capacitors caused by a key hole problem of the interpoly oxide (IPO) in the conductive layer structure. Firstly, there is formed the self-aligned contact of the interpoly oxide (IPO) according to a general processing step. Then, the lower electrode of the poly-silicon of the capacitor is deposited by two stages. A layer of HTF polysilicon is first deposited so as to seal the opening of the key hole due to its poor step coverage ability, and then, a layer of in-situ doped polysilicon is deposited, whereby the problem of short circuit between two separate capacitors is solved.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Generally speaking, in the process technology of the semiconductor industry, the miniaturization and high integration of component and die sizes have always been one of the most important development directions in the fabrication of integrated circuits. In order to respond to the trend of decreasing the line width of integrated circuits, the automatic alignment of integrated circuits (se 1 f-a 1 i gned) has been widely used in order to achieve the purpose of alignment and size reduction at the same time, of which The self-aligned contact ($ AC) process has been applied to the production of crown capacitors. The consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs printed the application of the back-end process of the integrated circuit. The crown-type capacitors are manufactured by self-aligning the contact window process between the bit lines. Please refer to the top view of the structure in Figure 1. Is a crown-shaped capacitor Q formed by a self-aligned contact window in a dielectric layer (interpoly oxide; IP0) between conductive layer structures (ie, polycrystalline silicon bit line BL) in a integrated circuit. In this traditional process, In the technology, it was found that the problem of the key hole K generated during the IP0 deposition would cause the polycrystalline silicon material of the subsequent electrode plate of the capacitor to penetrate into the key hole K, resulting in a short circuit between the two separated capacitors. Problems such as poor electrical properties of the device and reduced yield occur. 2_ The paper size is in accordance with the Chinese National Standard (CNX) (210X297 mm) 409360 A7 B7_____ 5. Description of the invention (», please refer to the schematic diagram of the conventional technology process structure shown in Figure 2, where Figures A, B and C are respectively Schematic cross-sections along the directions M ', BB' and CC 'in Figure 1 to facilitate further explanation of the keyhole problem. Please refer to Figures 2A and B first to provide a semiconductor substrate 10 that has completed the previous process. The surface of the substrate 10 A conductive layer 11 and a dielectric layer 12 thereon have been formed, and a polycide wire structure composed of a polycrystalline silicon 20 and a silicide 30 has been fabricated, and a hard cover thereon (Hard mask) 40, and then the spacer 50a of the wire structure is produced. Since it belongs to the later stage of the integrated circuit, in order to protect the completed electrical components, a plasma processing aid with a lower process temperature must be selected. -Chemical chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to form the spacer dielectric of silicon nitride (ShN4), but due to the characteristics of PECVD-ShN4 itself, (over-head) shape, thus increasing the aspect ratio between the lead structures, so when the silicon oxide dielectric layer 60 penetrates between the lead structures, its permeability will not fully fill the height, width and width Compared with the recess, a keyhole K is generated. After the automatic alignment contact window is opened (shown in FIG. 2B), when the polycrystalline silicon layer 70 of the lower electrode plate of the capacitor is deposited, due to the commonly used synchronous doping compound, In-situ doped poly-Si has excellent step coverage, so it is easy to fill the small channels formed by the keyhole K, which will cause short circuit between two separate capacitors.

The self-aligned contact is opened in the IP0 layer 60 between the conductive layer structures by a conventional lithographic etching method. The window (SAC) is shown in Figures 6B and C. Due to the existence of the keyhole K, Figure 6C shows two separate self-aligning contact windows SAC, which will be formed by the keyhole. The pipelines are in communication with each other. Then, the capacitor production is started, and the capacitor polycrystalline silicon lower electrode plate is first formed. This step is the focus of the present invention. The polycrystalline silicon layer is deposited in two stages, please refer to Figure 7 along Figure 1 CC ' In a schematic cross-sectional view, a thin first polycrystalline silicon layer 80 is first deposited. The first polycrystalline silicon layer 80 is made of a polycrystalline sand material with poor step coverage. With this characteristic, The keyhole opening can be sealed without causing the polycrystalline silicon to completely penetrate into the keyhole channel to cause a short circuit between the two capacitors.
