Description of the invention (5 10 15 The Consumers 'Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Consumers' Union 20, and the present invention relates to the method of focusing on the formation of an insulating layer in a semiconductor element. HSQ (hydrogen SliSes to iOxane) forms a silicon oxide layer made of s such as silicon (s: LliC0n glass) on a semiconductor device The on-wafer method prevents bit lines from jumping across holes that appear when filling the space between elements on the wafer with conventional APCVD (atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition). The interval P between these elements is below 18 μm. HSQ is used as a filling material and a stable inner layer dielectric material. The present invention is mainly related to the element by turning the gap-filled SOG to have Ar +. The resistance of ion implantation to the heat treatment used to open the contact hole and the stability of the chemical. Generally, silicon oxide is used in the open part of the silicon substrate or polycrystalline silicon by CVD or integrated circuits. Insulation layer formed by oxidation / growth. And 'Usually in the flattening process, the oxidized dream layer is formed by flowing the coating material of the oxidized debris as a source on the integrated circuit structure to form. Xixuan: The hydride-based coating material β is the source of oxidized stone, which is used to form a layer of monolithic oxide on a integrated circuit structure. As a coating material on the integrated circuit structure Chemical compounds or HSQ's are known as rhenium-resins, and SiO2 pioneers have been found to work on the surface to be coated, move well 'including stepped surfaces' and provide high yields of SiO2, as well as offering low carbon content.

Although such a petrolatum hydride or HSQ coating material is used as the Si on the integrated circuit structure The precursor system of the 〇2 layer meets certain results. 5 However, it is not without its problems. In this regard, the material is the incomplete hardening of the incomplete conversion of the dry coating material to SiO2. The coating material has been noticed when applied to a stepped surface. In particular, when the coating material is applied to a closely spaced step, or in a narrow trench, the coating material is at the bottom of the trench Incompletely hardened. It should also be noted that 10, even when the step systems are separated far away, the coating material at the bottom near the corner of the step is not completely hardened. The hardening of η-resin like HSQ is a reversible reaction, which can be expressed by the following equation: HSQe Si02 + η2 15 15 According to this, the completion of the reaction to form the desired silicon oxide product is based on the hydrogen leaving the coating Depending on the capabilities of the materials, the above equation is driven to the right of completing the formation of silicon oxide. The coating material formed in the deepest part of the trench of the substrate or between closely spaced steps, and near the corners of the steps, has an enlarged argon on the trapped argon, through which it can shrink. Divergence or small volume 'thereby results in incomplete hardening of the portions of the coating material. Therefore, the inability to fully convert all HSQ coating materials to Oxidation Dream will cause hydrogen to be released or emitted from the coating material during subsequent steps, including steps in which a reducing gas like argon is not desired.

However, in terms of planarization, the liquid source material usually flows on the structure of the integrated circuit to form a silicon dioxide layer. The dioxide layer on the semiconductor integrated circuit is formed from a source material made of hydrogenated silane like HSQ as a coating material. The use of thin-film ceramic silicon dioxide coatings as protective and dielectric layers for electronic components is known in the art. The coating thus formed provides good environmental protection to the underlying substrate and effectively prohibits electrical conduction. Despite their efficacy, these conventional methods require a high thermal budget (temperature x time) for the oxidation and hardening of HSQ resins. Such high thermal budgets are unacceptable in many temperature-sensitive applications where they can damage or destroy the substrate " For example, U.S. Patent No. 4,756,977 describes that HSQ resin-derived silicon dioxide layers are included in electronic components. Use on various substrates. Hydrogenated silane resins, sometimes referred to as HSQ or H-resins, have the formula (H / SiQ3 / 2) n when fully condensed and hydrolyzed, where n is approximately 10-1000. A typical 1 resin, when not completely condensed or hydrolyzed, may have the formula Hsi (〇H) x ('〇RW ", where x 0 2 y = 0-2, z = 1_3, x + y + z = 3 And the average value of y of all the units of the polymer is greater than 0. Each R is an independent 6-carbon organic group, which forms a hydrolyzable substitute when bonded to silicon via oxygen atoms. These argon silanes or HSQ silica precursors and their use as coating materials are discussed more fully in US Patent No. 5'14 5'72 3 by Balance et al.

Description of the Invention (I) As a known technology related to the present invention, U.S. Patent No. 5,42 9,990 describes ion implantation. SOG is flattened and US Patent No. 5,456,952 provides a hardening process where HSQ is used as a precursor to silicon dioxide. 5 The method for forming a SOG layer by ion implantation in a semiconductor device according to the present invention includes the following steps: coating an uneven surface of a silicon substrate having a component with a resin-based HSQ substrate as an insulating intermediate layer, so that The ionized atoms implant ions into the SOG layer, temper the ion implanted SOG layer in a chamber to harden, and form a top layer on the tempered 10 SOG layer to obtain planarization. Figures 2A to 2G show cross-sectional views of the formation of an SOG insulating layer made of HSQ, and Figures 3A to 3C show a chemically bonded structure during ion implantation and high temperature hardening. Please refer to FIG. 2A, a polycrystalline silicon 22 forming a word line is deposited 15 on a silicon substrate 21 having a semiconductor element formed thereon. A nitride layer 23 or a silicon dioxide layer 23 is formed on the deposited polycrystalline silicon 22 by LPCVD. A word line 22 is formed by erasing the nitride layer 23 and a portion of the deposited polycrystalline silicon 22 by a photo and etching process. Referring to FIG. 2B, a buffered silicon dioxide layer 24 is formed on the surface of the exposed substrate 21, on the remaining nitride layer 23, and on the side surfaces of the remaining nitride layer 23.
