Description of the invention (/) Field of invention: _ (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) The present invention discloses a method for making a dielectric layer between conductive layers in a integrated circuit, especially a method for eliminating Spin-on-glass (SOG) method and voids between dielectric layers. Background of the invention: Near women, with the development of integrated circuits in the direction of smaller size and higher enthusiasm, the internal wiring requirements of integrated circuits have also evolved from the simple two- and three-layer structure in the past to four or more layers The Multilevel Interconnects process makes the flatness of each layer in the integrated circuit directly affect the difficulty of manufacturing a multilayer stacking structure, which has become one of the important considerations in modern semiconductor manufacturing processes. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs The application of spin-on-glass (SOG) is a technique commonly used to locally flatten intermetal dielectric layers (IMDs). SOG is a fairly simple planarization technology, including two process stages of coating and curing. A spin-coating method is used to apply a liquid dielectric material with a very good trench filling ability to the wafer. The dielectric material of the cloth can follow the flow of the solvent on the surface of the wafer, so it can be easily filled into the structural grooves to achieve the purpose of local flattening. Then, the solvent in the spin-on glass is applied by heat treatment. Evaporate to increase the density of the spin-on glass and cure it to a structure similar to that of silicon dioxide (Si02). The flatness of the wafer surface will be better than that of chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The results obtained are still ideal. However, due to the application of spin-coated glass itself, particles can be caused: when the solvent is volatilized, the paper can be stripped. The paper size applies to Chinese national standards (CNS > A4 size (210X297 mm) 4369 6 8 A7 B7. 5. Description of the invention (> ) Out gassing occurs, and water absorption will occur in subsequent processes, which will cause the surface of the dielectric layer to be uneven. Now spin-on glass (SOG), which is widely used in the semiconductor industry, is usually used for The sandwich type structure is adopted to ensure the physical properties and chemical properties of the spin-on glass. The 8102 deposited by the two-layer chemical vapor deposition method (CVD) is used to sandwich the spin-on glass. The CVD-Si02 is generally formed by using a Plasma Enhance Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) method with the advantage of low temperature. However, the disadvantage of this method is that because the metal wire has a large expansion coefficient, The phenomenon of thermal expansion and contraction will be more obvious. After the curing heat treatment of the spin-on glass, the temperature of the wafer will decrease, and the metal wire will shrink inward. However, because CVD-Si02 has strong adhesion between metal wires, CVD-Si02 will be brought inward by the metal wires when the metal wires shrink inward, but CVD-Si02 and SOG-SiO / ^ The adhesion is not enough, with the inward shrinkage of CVD-Si02K, resulting in CVD-SiCy ^ SOG-Si02 from the side of the metal wire (because the effect of thermal expansion and contraction of the side is more obvious) peel to form voids, and Product reliability and yield problems are generated. Therefore, in order to solve the problems caused by the conventional technology, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a dielectric layer between conductive layers in an integrated circuit to eliminate the problem. Formation of interlayer dielectric gaps. Summary of the invention: The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for making a conductive interlayer dielectric layer in an integrated circuit, by reducing the adhesion between the conductive layer and the interlayer, and avoiding the application of this paper scale. China National Standards (CMS) A4 specification (21〇X: 2i7 mm) Body-I--(Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Printing A7 4369 6 8 Description of the invention (j) The formation of gaps between the dielectric layers improves the reliability and yield of the product. The present invention uses the following steps to achieve the above-mentioned purpose: First, a semiconductor substrate having completed the previous process is provided, and a conductive layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate. On the substrate; then, adding a gas which can reduce the adhesion between the wire structure and the dielectric layer when the conductive layer is etched; and then, forming a dielectric layer on the wire structure by a chemical vapor deposition method; Then, a spin-on glass is spin-coated on the dielectric layer; finally, the spin-on glass is cured.

There are voids. The following embodiments will be used to illustrate the technical means of the present invention: First, please refer to FIG. 1 to provide a semiconductor substrate that has completed the previous process, and form a conductive layer containing aluminum metal on the substrate.

Description of the invention (f) Define and etch the metal conductive layer to form a metal wire 20 structure, and pass through trifluoromethane (CHF3) gas when the metal conductive layer is etched. The gas can be Other fluorine-containing gases are substituted, and the flow rate is between 2 seem and 5 seem; then, a dielectric layer 30 is formed on the metal wire 20 structure, and the dielectric layer 30 is made of a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor phase. Deposition method (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition; PECVD), usually referred to as PEOX, has a thickness between 200A and 300A. Its purpose is to prevent water vapor from invading the metal wire 20 and causing the structure of the metal wire 20 to be corroded. Then, a spin coating is performed. The coated glass 40 is on the dielectric layer 30 to increase the flatness of the wafer surface. Finally, the spin-coated glass is cured by heat treatment, the curing temperature is about 400 ° C, and the reaction time is between about 4 hours. The curing process is to remove the solvent used to dissolve the dielectric material. After completion, a planarization process to fill the recessed area of the dielectric layer is completed. The introduction of trifluoromethane (CHF3) gas system when etching the conductive layer of aluminum-containing metal is the focus of the present invention. The CHF3 gas introduced during etching will react with aluminum (A1) in the aluminum-containing metal. Aluminum fluoride (A1FX) is formed on the side, and the presence of Zn ^^ prevents the aluminum oxide from oxidizing to form aluminum oxide (A1203) when the aluminum is exposed to the atmosphere. The adhesion between A1FX and the dielectric layer 30 is smaller than the adhesion between Al203 and the dielectric layer 30. As the adhesion between the metal wire 20 and the dielectric layer 30 decreases, it can be avoided that when the strong adhesion between the metal wire 20 and the dielectric layer 30 exists in the conventional art, After curing and heat treatment, the temperature of the wafer decreases, _ ^ .1 pack-(Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page), 11 Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau Staff Consumer Cooperatives of the Ministry of Economic Affairs This paper is printed in accordance with China's national standard (CNS ) A4 specification (2IOX2 # mm) 4 3 6 9 6 8 A7 __B7 V. Description of the invention (ί) The metal wire 20 shrinks inward and the dielectric layer 30 shrinks inward, leading to a small adhesion PEOX In the case where it is peeled off from the spin-coated glass 40 at the side of the metal wire 20 (because the effect of thermal expansion and contraction of the side is more obvious), voids are formed. Because when the adhesion between the metal wire 20 and the dielectric layer 30 is weak, the dielectric layer 30 will not be pulled inwardly by the metal wire 20, and it will not cause the dielectric layer 30 and the spin-on glass 40 to form a gap. This reduces the problems of product reliability and yield in subsequent processes. The above description uses the preferred embodiments to explain the present invention in detail, but not to limit the scope of the present invention.
