Abstract

A method for manufacturing electrostatic discharge protection circuit is offered. First, an isolation structure on a semiconductor substrate is formed to define a device region and a circuit protection region. Each region has a first metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor and a second MOS transistor formed. The first and second MOS transistors each have a first and a second polysilicon layers. The first and second polysilicon layers have a first tungsten silicide layer and a second tungsten silicide layer. Next, a salicide block layer is formed to cover the whole circuit protection region. The self-aligned metal silicide process is then carried out for the device region. Finally, the salicide block layer over the circuit protection region is removed.

Description

412856 A7 45 1 8twl\d〇c/002 _B7________ 五、發明説明(I ) 本發明是有關於一種靜電放電(Electrostatic Discharge ;以下簡稱ESD)保護電路’且特別是有關於一種 可使多晶矽餍達到低阻抗及低傳播延遲功能’而且不會有 任何電流消散路徑縮短問題’進而達到增進ESD保護能力 之靜電放電保護電路的製造方法。 在積體電路(1C)例如動態隨機存取記憶體(DRAM)、靜 態隨機存取記憶體(SRAM)的製造過程中或是晶片完成 後,靜電放電事件常是導致積體電路損壞的主要原因’因 此我們通常都會順道在其內部製造一靜電放電保護電路’ 以避免因外來靜電而導致積體電路受到傷害(damaSe)。例 如在地毯上行走的人體,於相對濕度(RH)較高的情況下可 檢測出約帶有幾百至幾千伏的靜態電壓’而於相對濕度較 低的情況下則可檢測出約帶有一萬伏以上的靜態電壓。當 這些帶電體接觸到晶片時,將會向晶片放電’結果有可能 造成晶片失效。以目前最普遍的互補式金氧半(CMOS)製程 技術而言,靜電放電事件所產生的問題尤其嚴重。 於是,爲了避免靜電放電損傷晶片,各種防制靜電放 電的軟體與硬體便因應而生。最常見的習知作法是利用硬 體防制靜電放電,也就是在內部電路(Internal Circuit)與每 一焊墊(Pad)間,均設計一靜電放電保護電路以保護其內部 電路。 再者,由於閘氧化層之形成厚度隨著製程積集度同步 縮小的因素,使得閘氧化層的崩漬電壓將逐步逼近源極/ 汲極接面崩潰電壓,甚或更低,此時原來的ESD保護電路 (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁)412856 A7 45 1 8twl \ d〇c / 002 _B7________ V. Description of the Invention (I) The present invention is related to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit ', and in particular, it relates to a method that can reduce polycrystalline silicon to a low level. Impedance and low propagation delay function 'and there will be no problem of shortening the current dissipation path', thereby achieving an electrostatic discharge protection circuit manufacturing method which improves the ESD protection capability. During the manufacture of integrated circuits (1C) such as dynamic random access memory (DRAM), static random access memory (SRAM), or after the chip is completed, electrostatic discharge events are often the main cause of damage to integrated circuits 'So we usually make an electrostatic discharge protection circuit inside it' to avoid damage to the integrated circuit due to external static electricity (damaSe). For example, a human body walking on a carpet can detect a static voltage of about several hundred to several thousand volts when the relative humidity (RH) is high, and can detect an approximate band when the relative humidity is low. There is a static voltage of more than 10,000 volts. When these charged bodies come into contact with the wafer, they will be discharged to the wafer, with the result that the wafer may fail. For the most common complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process technology, the problems caused by electrostatic discharge events are particularly serious. Therefore, in order to prevent the wafer from being damaged by the electrostatic discharge, various software and hardware for preventing the electrostatic discharge are developed. The most common practice is to use hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge. That is, an electrostatic discharge protection circuit is designed between the internal circuit and each pad to protect its internal circuit. In addition, due to the simultaneous reduction in the thickness of the gate oxide layer with the process accumulation, the collapse voltage of the gate oxide layer will gradually approach the source / drain junction breakdown voltage, or even lower. At this time, the original ESD protection circuit (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

Description of the invention (multiple) Doped regions and N-ion doping Area). And, the metal-oxide semiconductor transistor 30 includes a gate oxide layer 32b, a polycrystalline silicon layer 3, a spacer 36b, and a source / drain region 38b of the LDD structure. Referring to FIG. 2B, a metal silicide mask (Salicide Block; SAB) 40 is formed to cover the entire protection circuit area 26, and the material of the metal sand mask cover 40 includes oxide. Referring to FIG. 2C again, a self-aligned metal silicide process (Salicide) is performed to form a metal silicide layer 42, 44 on the polycrystalline sand layer 34a and the source / drain region 38a in the device region 24. Referring to FIG. 2D, the metal sanding mask layer 40 in the protection circuit area 26 is subsequently removed. Then, a dielectric layer 46 is formed to cover the element region 24 and the protection circuit region 26. The material of the dielectric layer 46 is, for example, silicon dioxide (SiO2). After that, a part of the dielectric layer 46 in the element region 24 and the protection circuit region 26 is removed by using an anisotropic dry etching method to expose the metal silicide layer 44 and the source / drain region 38b, respectively, and formed as The structure shown in Figure 2D. Next, the subsequent steps are performed to complete the manufacture of the integrated circuit. However, this subsequent process is well known to those skilled in the art and has nothing to do with the features of the present invention, so it will not be repeated here. It is known from the above manufacturing process that the manufacturing of the electrostatic discharge protection circuit of the integrated circuit is completed at the same time as its internal circuit, and no additional process steps are required to complete it. However, covering the entire protection circuit area with a metal silicide mask layer not only increases the impedance of the polycrystalline silicon layer, but also increases the propagation delay.

Description of the invention (1) On the other hand, if a layer of metal silicide cover is covered on a part of the protection circuit area, the contact window will be reduced to the gate (polycrystalline silicon layer) The rule of the edge. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the criterion for initially contacting the window 50 to the edge of the polycrystalline silicon layer 52 is DHD2 + D3. However, after covering part of the metal silicide mask layer (SAB) 54, the criterion will be left only Press D2. This will shorten the current dissipation path and cause poor ESD protection. In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for manufacturing an electrostatic discharge protection circuit, which includes first forming an isolation structure on a semiconductor substrate to define an element region and a protection circuit region, and a first metal oxide has been formed in the element region and the protection circuit region, respectively. A semi-transistor and a second metal-oxide semi-transistor, the first metal-oxide semi-transistor and the second metal-oxygen semi-transistor each having a first polycrystalline silicon layer and a second polycrystalline silicon layer, and the first polycrystalline silicon A first tungsten silicide layer and a second tungsten silicide layer have been formed on the layer and the second polycrystalline silicon layer, respectively. Next, a metal silicide mask is formed to cover the protection circuit area. After that, the self-aligned metal silicide process 3 is performed. Finally, the metal sand mask layer is removed. Since the manufacturing method of the electrostatic discharge protection circuit proposed by the present invention does not require additional process steps or photomasks, there is no problem of cost increase. Furthermore, the formation of a sanding crane layer on the polycrystalline sand layer can thus make the polycrystalline sand layer have the functions of low impedance and low propagation delay. In addition, the present invention does not reduce the criterion of the contact window to the edge of the polycrystalline silicon layer, so there will not be any problem of shortening the current dissipation path, thereby achieving the goals of high circuit execution efficiency and improving ESD protection capability.
