Description of the invention (Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a capacitor structure of a capacitor integrated in the process of integrated circuit manufacturing in a copper metal process ^ to form a gold electrode plate and its manufacturing method. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: Semiconductor manufacturing The industry trend is to reduce the size of the memory cell by J, increase the degree of accumulation and the memory capacity of the memory chip. When the line width of the semiconducting Zhao continues to develop from sub-microns, the characteristics of the memory still need to be maintained. For example, the minimum amount of stored charge required by a capacitor in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is still constant, so that it can maintain the high reliability of the memory. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this Page) Department-Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. For highly integrated semiconductor components, the area is reduced, so that their capacitance is also reduced. So easily affected by 0: particle radiation It must be added frequently, so today there are many different changes in the type of capacitors. In China Patent No. 5457〇65, "Method of MANUFACTURING A CAPACITOR" by Cheng STRUCTURE HAVING CAPACITANCE "" is to form a stacked capacitor structure. The other types of capacitors such as trench capacitors or the like "are also designed to increase the area energy of the capacitor. The planar capacitor will make the capacitor recharge, such as the description New DRAM INCREASED disclosed by Yu Mei et al. Increasing the value of the crown-type capacitor to increase its efficiency "-Γ This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) 4326 4 A7 B7 V. Invention Explanation () The increase of the storage capacitance value can be achieved by increasing the capacitor area as described above or thinning the dielectric layer and using a dielectric layer with a high dielectric constant. However, due to charge leakage (such as Föwler_Nördheim tunnel effect) and the quality of the dielectric layer. Therefore, there are certain restrictions on thinning the capacitor. Materials that can replace silicon oxide (Si〇2) such as Ta205 or BST are High dielectric constant materials that are often used today (many people are still studying materials with higher dielectric constants). Also 'traditional Container production, whether for DRAM or mixed signal circuits (this circuit can generally handle analog and digital '# 5' and may include analog / digital, digital / analog, and digital signal processor components) 'Usually doped polycrystalline silicon is used as the upper and lower electrode plates of the capacitor. However, as the accumulation of semiconducting impurities increases and the operation speed of the device increases, the traditional doped polycrystalline silicon / dielectric layer / The capacitor structure doped with polycrystalline silicon will not be able to meet the actual needs. At the same time, such semiconductor materials will generate a depletion mode of the interface due to the application of voltage, thus affecting the reliability of the capacitor "I- n ^ nt HI ^^^ 1 I ^^^ 1 n-I- I ^^^ 1 ^ (Please read the method of ^^ first, fill in the buttercup by nose)] Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs In recent years, people have been studying capacitors for metal electrode plates. As shown in the first A-D diagram, it is a schematic cross-sectional view of the upper and lower electrode plates of aluminum capacitors. After the aluminum metal layer 110 is etched on the inner metal dielectric layer (1? ^ 1)) 100, a dielectric layer 120 and an aluminum metal layer 130 are deposited to form a capacitor structure, and then a dielectric layer 14 is deposited and a tungsten plug is formed. This paper size is in accordance with China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210x297 mm) Γ 14 32 Ρ Α7 __—___ Β7 V. Description of the invention () ~ ~ Connect the capacitor to the external circuit. Since Ming metal is less susceptible to oxidation, a capacitor structure of aluminum metal / dielectric layer / ming metal can be formed. Although the most important wire material in today's Jaeger-LeCoultre circuits is the base material, the resistance factor of pure Ming is about 2.7 micro-ohm-cm, and the alloy material is formed by adding hair and #. The purpose of the aluminum alloy is to improve the electromigration resistanee ability of the pure aluminum substrate. This prevents the aluminum and silicon interfaces from diffusing at the fusion temperature. However, in order to effectively reduce the resistivity, copper metal is the best choice because the resistivity of copper is about 17 micro-ohm-cm, which is much smaller than that of aluminum. At the same time, the copper metal itself has better resistance to electromigration than 'Ming material', so it is a predictable conductor material. However, because copper metal has the disadvantages of being easy to oxidize and not easy to etch ', the copper wire system uses the dual-layer inlay method (dual damascene) instead of the traditional electric let-off method, because the direct deposition on the steel metal. The accumulated oxide layer will consume the copper material and cause rapid diffusion and cause leakage current, so the capacitor structure of the above aluminum metal electrode plate is not suitable Therefore, there is still a need for a capacitor structure and manufacturing method for copper metal electrode plates in order to meet the needs of the next-generation integrated circuit manufacturing process.

Capacitors formed by metal materials The electrode plate is the best choice. The electrode plate structure formed by materials such as aluminum and tungsten is not suitable for the copper process. Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to form a metal electrode plate structure and a manufacturing method in a steel gallium to achieve high reliability. Degree capacitor. Another object of the present invention is to improve the adhesion of copper metal electrode plates by using transition metal materials to improve the stability of the capacitor stack. According to the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention will be summarized as follows: First, for an active device And passive component semiconductor substrates, and multiple metal interconnects can be formed as required, and then a low-k dielectric material layer is deposited on the top layer of the substrate to form an inter-metal dielectric (iMD) . Next, the dielectric layer is etched to form a damascene region by a conventional lithography and etching process, and then a copper metal layer is deposited by an electrochemical deposition method (ECD) or a sputtering method. It is then planarized by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), and the dielectric layer is used as the end point of the polishing. Afterwards, a nitride group (TaN) barrier layer is formed by a subtractive plating method to avoid the diffusion effect between the copper metal and the subsequent oxide plating layer and increase its adhesion. The thickness of this barrier layer is about 500-1 500 Aye or so. At the same time, it can also be composed of transition metal materials such as nitride button / group (TaN / Ta), titanium nitride (TiN), titanium nitride / titanium (TiN / Ti). Then deposit a thin layer of dielectric material on the dielectric layer. The thickness of this dielectric material is about 40-100 angstroms, and it can be oxidized (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page).

Description of the invention () ~ ~-~ Hard nitrided layer (WN) layer, tangent oxygen cut (Qing) layer or high dielectric constant materials Such as Ta205 or BaTi03. Next, a metal layer or a second barrier layer is deposited as the electrode plate on the capacitor, but if the upper electrode plate is formed only by the barrier layer, no additional reaction chamber is needed to sputter the aluminum metal. Save manufacturing costs. After the above barrier layer / dielectric layer / barrier layer stack is formed, the stack layer is then etched 'using an anisotropic dry etching technique and copper metal is used as an etching stop layer. Then, a first silicon nitride layer is deposited on the stacked layer and the substrate, and the thickness is about 500 · 500 angstroms. Then, a first low-k dielectric material is deposited on the silicon nitride layer, and it may be planarized by chemical mechanical polishing as required. After the low-k dielectric layer, 'then deposit a second vaporization layer' and etch this silicon nitride layer with a patterned photoresist layer to form a patterned area in contact with the underlying conductive layer, and then use a second The low-k dielectric layer is covered. The thickness of the low-k dielectric layer is about 2000 to 8000 Angstroms. (Please read the notes on the back first, and then fill out this page.)

Description of the invention () When the capacitor is formed by the copper process of the present invention After the structure, because the aluminum nitride barrier layer has high adhesion to copper, the lower electrode plate of the barrier layer can improve the adhesion of the dielectric layer oxide / tantalum nitride / copper metal stack and avoid copper.

As for other transition metal materials suitable for forming the barrier layer, such as titanium nitride (TiN), etc., it can be used. Metals come together in the form of titanium / titanium nitride. Then, a thin dielectric layer material 230 is deposited on the barrier layer 220. The thickness of the dielectric layer 230 is preferably 40 to ι〇〇 Between Angstroms and composed of a material having a dielectric constant of South. For example, the dielectric layer 23 may be formed by a silicon oxide-silicon nitride (ON) layer or a silicon oxide-silicon nitride-silicon nitride (0νο) layer. Composition ° In addition, a material with a high dielectric constant such as Ta205 or BaTi03 can also be used as the material of this dielectric layer. The thinner or high dielectric constant dielectric layer 23 will increase the storage capacitance value. 9 Paper AM Cai Su ^ material (CNS) A4 · (21Gx297)----^^^ 1 ^ in n ^ i I-I V & TI— ^^^ 1 m > 1 ^ ^^^ 1-Tooth , Va (please read the note on the back _ then fill out this page) ΓΡ4326 41 si Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention () Formed on the dielectric layer 230 Then, an aluminum metal layer or a second barrier layer 240 is deposited next. The aluminum metal or the second barrier layer 240 can also be formed by a magnetron DC sputtering method, and the thickness is also about 500-1500 angstroms. Adjust according to requirements. However, if the barrier layer is used as the metal layer of the upper electrode plate, no additional reaction chamber is needed to deposit and deposit aluminum metal, so the manufacturing cost can be saved. At the same time, the barrier layer 240 can also be made of nitrogen. It is formed by one of transition metals such as chemical button (TaN), tantalum nitride / tantalum (TaN / Ta), titanium nitride (TiN), or titanium nitride / titanium (TiN / Ti). Since the upper electrode plate of the capacitor read later also uses a copper metal process, the barrier layer 240 can also be used as a metal layer material for increasing adhesion and isolation. Refer to the fourth figure ', which shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an etched stacked layer and a deposited dielectric layer according to the present invention. After the above barrier layer / dielectric layer / barrier layer stack is formed, the stack layer is then etched by an anisotropic etching technique such as a reactive ion etching (RIE) dry etching technique. Or a gas-containing plasma to perform the 'and use the underlying copper metal as an etch stop layer. A silicon nitride layer 250 is then deposited on the substrate 200 and the stacked layers by, for example, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and the thickness is maintained at about 5 00-15 00 angstroms. Thereafter, a layer of low-k dielectric material 260, such as a spin-on-glass (SOG) material, is deposited on the silicon nitride layer 250. In one embodiment, the thickness of the low-k dielectric material layer is about 2000 to 8000 angstroms. In order to prevent subsequent lithography and etching processes from affecting the underlying components, the dielectric layer must be cured to prevent The intrusion of water can remove organic solvents such as alcohols and ketones on the SOG film.

The resist acts as an etch mask and The silicon layer 270 is used as an etch stop layer, and the dielectric layer 26 is a patterned silicon nitride layer 2 70 as an etch mask, and the bottom silicon nitride layer 25 is used as an etch stop layer. When the double-layer mosaic structure After the formation, a steel metal is formed by, for example, an electrochemical deposition method to fill the double-layered mosaic area. In this deposition procedure, the lower electrode plate will be connected to the uppermost layer by a copper-metal double-layered mosaic structure numbered 3 00 and other layers. The circuit structures of the capacitors are connected to each other, and the upper electrode plate is connected to the upper layer with a copper metal double-layer mosaic structure numbered 29 and connected to other circuits to complete the production of the capacitor of the present invention.
