Description of the invention (i) The present invention relates to the manufacture of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) Method, and in particular, relates to a method for manufacturing a stacked capacitor using amorphous silicon and hemispherical silicon grain (HSG) polycrystalline silicon. There has been a trend to reduce the size of the memory cells to increase the degree of accumulation as if to increase the memory capacity of a DRAM chip. When the size of the DRAM is reduced, the capacity of the capacitor used in the DRAM is also relatively reduced. DRAM memory cells generally include storage capacitors and access transistors. With the advent of large-scale DRAM devices, the size of the devices has become smaller and smaller, so that the usable area of a single memory cell has become very small. This reduces the area of the capacitor and reduces the capacitance of the memory cell. One method to increase the capacitance area is to form hemispherical silicon grain polycrystalline silicon on amorphous silicon and increase the height of the capacitor. However, increasing the capacitor height forces the amorphous silicon layer to increase 'which forces the deposition time of the amorphous silicon layer to increase. The increase in deposition time leads to crystallization of amorphous silicon. Crystallization of the amorphous silicon layer inhibits the migration of silicon, making it difficult to form hemispherical silicon grains on the amorphous silicon. For amorphous silicon deposition ', silicon methane (SlH4) is mostly used as a reactive gas. Although the use of sand ethane (Si2H6) can reduce deposition time, changing existing equipment requirements is very expensive. Therefore, there is a need for an improved method that can reduce the crystallization of amorphous silicon and use existing equipment to manufacture stacked capacitors. -A method for manufacturing a storage node of a stacked capacitor on a substrate, comprising the steps of: U) forming a first dielectric layer on the substrate; (2) forming a silicon nitride layer on the dielectric layer; (3) Lithography and etching the first dielectric layer and the silicon nitride layer until reaching the substrate to form a contact window; in the nitride _______ this paper X degree Lai Zhan war 1 Zhun (FnS) Λ4 specifications (2iOX 297 Gongchu.)

Description of the Invention (ii) ^ 115: Silicon nitride layer Preferred sinus embodiment The present invention will be described in detail below with the accompanying drawings. The invention proposes a method for manufacturing a stacked capacitor. The stacked capacitor has more memory cell capacitance and higher accumulation degree. For a conventional method, please refer to FIGS. 1A-1C. First, refer to FIG. 1a to form a dielectric layer 102 on a substrate 100. Next, a contact window 104 is formed. Then, an amorphous silicon layer 106 is formed on the dielectric layer 102. Then, a photoresist layer 108 is used as a mask, and the amorphous silicon layer 106 is etched. Next, the photoresist layer 108 is removed to form a structure as shown in FIG. IB. After that, a hemispherical silicon grain polycrystalline silicon 11 is formed on the amorphous silicon layer 106, and the bottom storage node shown in FIG. 1 is completed. In this conventional technique, an amorphous silicon layer is added. 6 to increase the height of the storage node at the bottom of the stack and increase the area of stored charge. However, 'increasing the thickness of the amorphous silicon layer 106 requires a longer deposition time. A longer deposition time causes the amorphous silicon layer 106 to crystallize , Resulting in poor formation of hemispherical sand grain polycrystalline silicon 110. The description of this invention begins with the semiconductor substrate 112 shown in Figure 2. As known to those skilled in the art, the substrate may include a semiconductor wafer, active and Passive components and layers formed on the surface of the wafer. The term "substrate" refers to the components included on a semiconductor wafer and the layers covering the wafer. 'In the second figure, a first dielectric is formed on the substrate 112.

Invention (Grand) type glass (SOG), or any combination thereof. The thickness of the first dielectric layer 114 is preferably about 1000 to 2,000 angstroms. Then, by using conventional techniques, the first dielectric layer 114 A silicon nitride layer 115 is formed on 114. In this preferred embodiment, the silicon helium layer 15 is deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) using methylene chloride as the deposition source at a temperature of about 700 to Between 800 ° C and a pressure of about 0.1 to 1 torr. The thickness of the silicon nitride layer 115 is about 50 to 200 angstroms. A silicon nitride layer 115 is formed to serve as an etching stopper. Next, a contact window 116 It is made using traditional lithography and etching techniques. The degree of etching control is terminated when it reaches the substrate 112. In addition, the contact window 116 is placed on the drain of the access transistor of the DRAM memory cell as usual. On the first dielectric layer 114, An in-situ doped polycrystalline silicon layer is deposited into the contact window 116, preferably using conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The polycrystalline silicon layer is then etched, preferably using reactive ion etching (RIE) ) Or chemical mechanical honing method (CMP). U5 stops, leaving a polycrystalline silicon plug ns in the contact window 116. A second dielectric layer 120 is deposited on the silicon nitride layer 115 and the polycrystalline silicon plug 118. The second dielectric layer 20 may be made of silicon dioxide , BPSG, SOG, or any combination thereof. The thickness of the second dielectric layer 120 is preferably about 4,000 to 15,000 Angstroms. Referring to FIG. 3, a trench 122 uses traditional lithography and etching techniques on the second dielectric layer 120. For example, a photoresist layer 124 may be deposited on the second dielectric layer 120. Then, the photoresist layer 24 is lithographed and developed to expose the trench 122. The second dielectric layer 120 is etched using a silicon nitride layer 115 as an etch stop layer, and then the photoresist layer 124 is stripped. ---------- ^ -----..-- ΐτ ------ 1 ^ (谪 Please read the notes on the back before filling this page} This paper size Jia Biao Jin (rMS) Eight Views (210X297 公 #) " " '™ ^ " " " " 匿 43268 3 3SH2Uvr.tioc / 006 A7 B7

Description of the Invention (Even) I Refer to Figure 4, above the second dielectric layer 120 'an amorphous silicon layer 126 using any known Traditional techniques deposit into the trench, for example using sand methane or silicon as the reactive gas. Preferably, the thickness of the amorphous silicon layer 126 on the second dielectric layer 20 is about 3,000 angstroms. The deposition temperature of the amorphous silicon layer 126 is preferably lower than 550X :. Referring to FIG. 5, a portion of the amorphous silicon layer 126 on the second dielectric layer 120 is removed using a conventional etching technique or by a chemical mechanical honing method (CMP). Referring to FIG. 6, the remaining second dielectric layer 120 is removed by any conventional technique. For example, the second dielectric layer 120 may be removed by conventional wet oxidation etching. As the etchant, a diluted hydrogen fluoride solution can be used. Referring to FIG. 7, a hemispherical silicon grain polycrystalline silicon 128 is formed on the amorphous silicon layer 126. Hemispherical silicon grain polycrystalline silicon 128 is formed by high temperature vacuum tempering. The high vacuum tempering temperature is preferably between 560 and 660 ° C. It is preferred that hemispherical silicon grain polycrystalline silicon 128 be formed using high vacuum seeding technology. In short, the surface of the amorphous silicon 126 is crystallized using silicon methane or silicon. Thus, the bottom storage node is formed. Finally, the capacitor is completed using a conventionally deposited dielectric layer and a top storage node. These traditional "complete" steps are already known in the art and will not be discussed further here. The present invention increases productivity and reduces or reduces crystallization of amorphous silicon 126 to improve hemispherical silicon grain polycrystalline silicon growth. This is achieved by shortening the deposition time of the amorphous silicon layer. The amorphous silicon layer is formed along the wall of the trench 122, which means along the sidewall of the second dielectric layer. Therefore, the deposition time is based on the width of the trench 12.2, rather than the height (or thickness) of the amorphous silicon layer.
