A device that suffers from plasma damage during High Density Plasma chemical Vapor Deposition (HDP-CVD). Size reduction is the manufacturing trend of semiconductor components. In order to meet this manufacturing trend, many process technologies with more small-sized process capabilities have been continuously developed. For example, high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition technology Therefore, the Gap-Fill capability has become the most important technology in the production of Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) and Inter-Metal Dielectrics (IMD). Generally speaking, high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition technology mainly uses chemical vapor deposition and positive ion physical bombardment etching (Positive Ion Physical Bombardment Etch). Among them, the positive ion physical bombardment etching mechanism involves high The impact of the energy plasma on the wafer is easy to cause damage to the wafer, resulting in the generation of antenna effects (Antenna, Effect).

Description of the invention (π) The wires 108a and An intermetallic dielectric layer is inserted between 108b. If the uniformity of the plasma is poor when this process is performed, the metal wires 108a and 108b will receive different numbers of positive charges. As a result, the metal wires 108a and 108b have a potential difference. However, the metal wires 108a and 108b are electrically connected to the conductive areas 100a and 100b in the substrate 100 through the contact windows 106 and the metal wires 104, respectively. Therefore, the metal wires 108a and 108b The potential difference means the potential difference between the conductive regions 100a and 100b located on both sides of the gate 102. This potential difference will affect the gate dielectric layer 102a in the gate 102, which may cause Plasma Induce Damage (PID) occurs, and the characteristics of the dynode dielectric layer 102a are severely degraded. Therefore, the present invention provides a device for preventing a wafer from being damaged by a plasma. By filtering or neutralizing the positive ions in the initial stage of forming a dielectric layer using a plasma device, it is easy to occur when a dielectric layer is formed using a plasma device.

Among them, the dielectric liner 204 and the dielectric layer 206 without plasma ion damage are completed by using a high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition technique, for example. FIG. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
