The traditional method of forming a COB structure is to first open a bit line structure, and then form a dielectric spacer on the side wall of the bit line structure. Subsequently, a self-aligned contact (SAC) window is opened on the first dielectric layer, and the window is opened to penetrate the first dielectric layer between the bit lines to expose the conductive plug of the lower layer. Plug (Conductive Plug). This conductive plug is located above the source / drain region and is used to connect the semiconductor substrate and the capacitor structure above it. However, before the SAC window is opened on the silicon oxide layer after the sidewall spacers of the bit line structure are formed, silicon nitride (Silicon Nitride) must be selected as the material of the above spacers. Silicon nitride and silicon oxide ( Silicon Oxide) high etching selectivity ratio to perform the dry etching step of SAC. However, the dielectric constant of nitrided cleavage (Dielectric_Constant) is much higher than that of silicon oxide, and the formation of the barrier wall will increase the mold value. Because of the low surface, mia recalls the abdomen and mouth quality. .... This invention describes a SAC window used on a DRAM to connect source / drain regions. The window is opened between bit lines and penetrates through two sheets of paper.

Description of the Invention (>) Electrical layer, however, it is different from the know-how Yes, the process of opening the SAC window of the present invention is before the formation of the dielectric spacer on the sidewall of the bit line structure. Therefore, in the present invention, silicon oxide can be selected as the material of the gap wall of the bit line structure, so that the coupling capacitance between the bit line and the capacitor can be greatly reduced than that of the silicon nitride gap wall. Furthermore, because the spacer is formed after the SAC window is opened, any damage to the spacer that may be caused by the etching process when the SAC window is opened will not occur. In this way, a thinner partition wall can be used, and a narrower SAC window can also be designed in the layout, which can further increase the density of the accumulation. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a dynamic random access memory with a capacitor structure on a bit line. The secondary purpose of the present invention is to form a window in the silicon oxide layer that automatically aligns with the contact window. The window is opened between the bit lines and penetrates the silicon oxide layer. The opening process of the SAC window is in the formation position. Before the dielectric spacers on the side wall of the element structure. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a silicon oxide spacer on a sidewall of a bit line structure, and the formation of the spacer is after opening the SAC window. The invention describes a method for forming a bit line on a DRAM structure. In the capacitor method, a window for automatically aligning a contact window is opened between bit lines and penetrates the silicon oxide layer, and then a dielectric gap wall is formed on a sidewall of the bit line structure. The first polycrystalline silicon plug structure is formed on the source / drain region, and is used to connect and conduct the source / drain region on the semiconductor substrate.

Description of the invention () shows the top view of the first polycrystalline silicon plug structure 13 which is located between the character line structures, It is also located between the oxidized chopping structures 12. In the subsequent system, a silicon oxide layer 30 is formed first, and then a bit line structure 16 is formed. FIG. 4A shows a top view thereof, and FIG. 4B shows a schematic cross-sectional view in the G-G direction. The bit line structure 16 includes a conductive layer composed of a doped polycrystalline silicon layer, a tungsten metal layer, a tungsten silicide layer, or a polycrystalline metal silicide layer (covered by a layer of metal silicide on a polycrystalline silicon layer). Layer 14. Each of the above conductive layers can be formed by LPCVD, and its thickness is between 500 and 4000A. There are two methods for doping the polycrystalline silicon layer, one of which is doping arsenic or phosphorus with a reactive gas to cut arsenic to simultaneously deposit arsenic or phosphorus with silicon; the other method is to first deposit an essential polycrystalline silicon layer Then, arsenic or phosphorus is doped into the polycrystalline silicon layer by an ion implantation technique. Subsequently, a silicon nitride layer 15 is formed on the conductive layer U by LPCVD or PECVD, and the thickness is between 500 and 3,000.

Description of Invention (j) (Please read the precautions for the arm surface before filling out this page) Window 18 of the window. In the lithography process of forming the window 18 of the auto-aligned contact window, the width of the photoresist openings must be greater than the pitch of the bit line structure 16, and the width of the photoresist openings must be greater than the word line structure 8-11. Pitch. Using anisotropic reactive ion etching technology, using chf3 as a reactive gas to etch the oxide cleave layer, penetrate the oxide cleave layer Π 'between the two bit line structures 16 to expose the first polycrystalline silicon plug structure 13 Top surface. By virtue of the high etch selection ratio (about 25 to 1) between the silicon oxide layer 17 and the exposed silicon nitride layer 15 and the high etch selection ratio (about 25 to 1) between the silicon oxide and the first polycrystalline silicon plug structure 13 It is 20 to 1), and the window 18 of the automatic alignment contact window is formed, as shown in FIG. 5B. It is also shown in FIG. 5 that the window 18 of the self-aligned contact window is between the word line structures 8-11, and the surface of the first polycrystalline silicon plug structure 13 is exposed. Oxygen plasma ashing and wet photoresist stripping are used to remove the photoresist of window 18, which defines the automatic alignment of the contact window. It is particularly important that the window 18 of the self-aligning contact window is completed before the insulation gap on the side wall of the bit line structure is formed. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the conventional technique of forming the window 18 of the self-aligning contact window. Damage caused by insulating spacers on the sidewalls of the bit line structure during the RIE process. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Please refer to Figure 6, and then the dielectric gap wall of the bit line structure sidewall will be formed. First, a silicon oxide layer is formed by LPCVD or PECVD, and the thickness is between 300 and 2000 people. Then, using CHF3 as a reaction gas, and performing etchback using RIE technology, a silicon oxide spacer (Si 1 icon Oxide Spacer) 19 can be obtained. As shown in FIG. 6, the silicon oxide spacer 19 is located on the sidewall of the silicon nitride top cover in the bit line structure 16, and the silicon oxide spacer 19 is also located on the silicon oxide structure 17 (located in the word line 8-11 Top) of the sidewall.

The invention description (π) is also required The silicon oxide spacer 19 is made into a silicon oxide-silicon nitride double-layer structure. However, it needs to be emphasized that compared with the simple use of silicon nitride, the use of silicon oxide as the material of the spacer can make the coupling capacitance between the bit line structure and the capacitor formed later smaller. In the present invention, the window for automatically aligning the contact window is opened before the gap wall is formed, which makes it possible to use silicon oxide as the material of the gap wall. However, if the spacer is formed first according to the process steps of the conventional technology, and then the window for automatically aligning the contact window is opened, the silicon nitride must be used as the material of the spacer in order to use the high etching between the silicon nitride and the silicon oxide layer Select ratio for etch back. Referring to FIG. 7, a second polycrystalline silicon plug structure 20 will be formed on the window 18 of the auto-alignment contact window. First, a polycrystalline silicon layer is formed by LPCVD, with a thickness between 1000 and 3G00A, in order to fill the window 18 of the auto-alignment contact window. The doping system of the polycrystalline silicon layer is obtained by synchronous doping, adding arsenic or phosphorus in a silane environment while depositing the polycrystalline silicon. Next, the polycrystalline silicon layer on the surface of the silicon oxide layer 17 is polished by using CMP technology, and a second polycrystalline silicon plug structure 20 is formed in the window 18 of the automatic alignment contact window. The second polycrystalline silicon plug structure 20 is located above the first polycrystalline silicon plug structure 13 and is connected to the first polycrystalline silicon plug structure 13. Next, as shown in FIG. 8, a capacitor structure 21 is formed above the second polycrystalline silicon plug structure 20, so that the capacitor structure 21 can be conducted to the source through the connection of the second polycrystalline silicon plug structure 20. Pole / drain region 6. The capacitor structure 21 includes a Polysilicon Storage Node Structure 22, a Capacitor Dielectric Layer 23 such as Ta205 or ONO, and an electrode structure on polycrystalline silicon.
