Description of the Invention (/)-"-Technical Field: The present invention relates to the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, and in particular, to a method for controlling a gate electrode. Formation between structures-A method of self-aligning a contact window structure to expose conductive regions in a semiconductor substrate. Background of the Invention: The printing of consumer cooperatives by employees of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is currently progressing by reducing the minimum line width of semiconductors to increase the performance of the semiconductor industry. However, compared to components manufactured using larger sizes, It will result in a smaller conductive area with reduced parasitic junction capacitance value 'and lower performance degradation resistance capacitance (RC) value. This has been accomplished through advances in several semiconductor manufacturing areas such as optical lithography and dry etching. The use of more sophisticated exposure cameras and the use of more sensitive photoresist layers has allowed features in the second-quarter micron feature to be formed in the photoresist layer. In addition, the development of more advanced dry-etching equipment and processes has allowed second-quarter micro-picked features in photoresist layers to be transferred to other materials used in semiconductor device manufacturing. However, in addition to progress in manufacturing, structural innovations have also allowed the realization of sub-quarter microfinding features. For example, self-aligned contacts (openings and structures formed between the gate structures of a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) device) have allowed the gap between gate structures to be reduced. The self-aligned contact window opening completely allows the disposed contact window structure to be formed in the self-aligned contact window opening, and the bottom conductive region (located in the gap, which is more Align the contact opening with a small diameter) contact. In the case where the self-aligned contact window opening is not formed, a larger conductive area must be used between the gates; 1¾ between the structures, ______ This paper size applies to the China Solid State Standards < CNS M4 specifications (210X297 mm) 469593 A7 printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs "--^--------- B7 V.

This novel method does not require a large compilation to ensure that the contact hole openings of the structure are fully installed in the county. However, 'in order to solve the problem _ Anian can work, an insulator gap wall without pinholes must be formed in the gate Edge of the pole structure to avoid this self-aligning contact structure (located Self-align the leakage current and short-circuit phenomenon between the contact opening) and the gate structure.

Description of the invention (t) mqsfet device of SRAM or other types of logic or memory unit. FIG. 1 is a P-type semiconductor substrate 1. The P-shaped semiconductor substrate 丨 is composed of single crystal silicon with a crystal orientation of <100>. First, an isolation region 20 'is filled with an insulator, such as shallow trench isolation (STI) or thermal insulation. The growth field oxide layer (Fox) is thermally grown in an oxygen emulsion atmosphere to form a gate oxide layer 2 having a thickness between 50 and 100 angstroms. A gate structure 5 covered with silicon nitride is then formed on the gate oxide layer 2. This step is performed by low waste chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD)-a polycrystalline silicon layer or a metal silicide layer 3, such as tungsten silicide, with a thickness between 1000 and 3000 angstroms. However, if it is a metal silicide layer 3, it can be composed of a lower polycrystalline silicon layer and an upper metal silicide layer; and the polycrystalline silicon layer 3 can be dynamically doped during deposition or added by adding arsenic or phosphorus to the silane atmosphere. The crystalline silicon layer 3 may be deposited substantially and then doped by implantation of arsenic or phosphorus ions. After the polycrystalline silicon layer or the metal silicide layer 3 is deposited, a silicon nitride layer 4 is deposited by low hafnium chemical vapor deposition or plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to a thickness of 300 to 1 500 Angstroms. between. Next, a photoresist (not shown in the figure) is used as an etching mask, and a gate structure 5 covered with silicon nitride is formed by an anisotropic active ion silver etching (RIE) process, wherein the anisotropic active ion etching CF4 or CHF3 is used as an etchant for the silicided silicon layer 4, and C12 or SR is used as an etchant for the polycrystalline silicon layer or the metal silicide layer 3. The width of the gate structure 5 covered by silicon nitride is between 0 μ5 and 0.20 μm. This will cause the gate structure 5 under the gate structure 5 covered by silicon nitride to form after the source / dead region is formed. The channel length is below 010 microns.

Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and then explain the formation of a gap wall on the edge of the gate structure 5 covered by silicon nitride. Because a self-aligned contact window will follow It is selectively formed in the silicon oxide layer to expose the conductive source electrode and the electrode region between the gate structures. Materials other than fossils are formed to ensure the selectivity of the self-aligned contact window process. As mentioned earlier, the conventional technique uses silicon nitride as the spacer material to allow a self-aligned contact window to be formed on the nitride. The silicon oxide oxide layer between the gate structures covered by silicon is characterized by a silicon nitride spacer on the edge of the gate structure. However, defects such as pinholes in the silicon nitride spacer will allow self-alignment Subsequent conductivity in the contact window is self-aligned and the contact structure contacts the gate structure, resulting in an undesired gate-to-substrate leakage current or short circuit. Therefore, the present invention is characterized by a composite gap wall, which is composed of a bottom layer It is composed of a silicon nitride layer and a non-conductive undoped polycrystalline silicon or amorphous silicon upper spacer. Therefore, if the pinhole phenomenon does exist in the bottom silicon nitride spacer, the upper spacer Doped silicon will fill the defect or pinhole with a non-conductive material, thereby reducing the risk of gate leakage to the substrate or the risk of short circuit. Therefore, a silicon nitride layer Low pressure chemical vapor deposition or plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition processes are deposited to a thickness of about 50 to 500 angstroms, and then the paper is suitable for paper towels (CNS) A4j ^ (21.) by low pressure chemical vapor deposition processes. 297 J *-469593 A7 _________B7 V.

Isotropic reactive ion etching uses Cl2 or Sf6 as the last name of the undoped polycrystalline or amorphous stone layer 7a, and uses CF4 or as an etchant for the silicon nitride layer 6a, resulting in nitrogen Compound gap on the edge of the gate structure 5 of the silicon cover layer. The compound gap is composed of the unsubstituted doped polycrystalline or amorphous stone gap 7b in the upper layer and the nitrided stone gap wall milk in the bottom layer. composition. This is shown schematically in Figure 3. The heavily doped source / dead region 8 is then formed on a semiconductor structure 5 that is not covered by a nitride stone, or a semiconductor that is not covered by a composite spacer placed on the gate structure 5 that is covered by silicon nitride. In the region of the substrate 1. The heavily doped source / drain region 8 is formed by implanting god or squamous ions. Its energy is between about 40 and 80 KeV, and the dose is between about 1E14 and 1E15 atoms / cm2. About 0 to 70 degrees. This low implantation angle is important so that the ions do not damage the undoped polycrystalline silicon or the amorphous silicon spacer 7b itself. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, followed by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition or plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition of the oxide layer 9 'with a thickness of about 3000 to 12000 Angstroms, which uses tetraethane silicon Methane (TEOS) as a source. Then chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) 'is performed to produce a flat silicon oxide layer 9 ^ a photoresist (not shown in the figure) as an etching mask, using CHF3 as an etchant for silicon nitride, and selective Ground self-aligning contact window 10 on silicon oxide layer 9 ^ Compared to undoped polycrystalline silicon or silicon nitride, the lower the etch rate, the higher the etch rate of the oxide will make the self-aligning contact window 10 select Sexually formed. The gap between the gate structure 5 (including the composite spacer wall) covered by the nitrided dream is about the paper & scale, using the Chinese national standard "CNS} A4 specification (210-2297mm> 469593 Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by A7 B7 of the Intellectual Property Bureau's Anti-Poverty Cooperative V. Invention Description (,) 001 to 0.10 micron, and the self-aligned contact window 10 is formed with a diameter of about 0.01 to 0.1 micron. The photoresist used to form the mask of the self-aligning contact window 10 is then removed using oxygen ashing and wet cleaning, as shown in Fig. 4. The self-aligning contact structure u shown schematically in Fig. 5 It is then formed in the self-aligning contact window 10. A conductive layer such as a town, a safflower crane or a doped polyspar slab 'is deposited between about 1000 and 5000 angstroms by a low pressure chemical vapor deposition process. And the self-aligned contact window 10 is completely filled with a part of the conductive layer, and then is subjected to chemical mechanical polishing, or through a selective active ion etching process (using Cl2 or SF6 as an etchant for the conductive layer) ' Top of silicon oxide layer 9 The surface is removed, thereby forming a self-aligned contact structure 11 in the self-aligned contact window 10. The self-aligned contact structure 11 is completely placed on the heavily doped source / dead region 8 and is un-doped with a polycrystalline Silicon or amorphous broken spacer components 7b are connected. The ability to fill or seal defects or pinholes in the nitride spacer components 6b with undoped polycrystalline fragments or amorphous stones will eliminate conductivity self-alignment The risk that the contact structure 11 is connected to the conductive region of the gate structure 5 covered by silicon nitride, thus avoiding a short circuit or leakage current from the gate to the substrate. The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but not a limitation. The scope of the present invention, and for those skilled in the art, appropriate and subtle changes and adjustments can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention, but these should be considered as further implementation status of the present invention.
