Description of the invention (_5-1 Invention of the jaw area .: (Please read the note on the back of the page before filling in this page) The present invention relates to a dilute Φ Λ ® semiconductor process, especially a method of depositing boron phosphorus silicon After the glass (BPSG), the method of preventing bubble defects in the high temperature process of borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG). G-2 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: With the progress of the semiconductor industry 5 ULSI), in order to meet the requirements of integrated circuits in the design of integrated circuits, the size of various components is often reduced to sub-micron, and as the components continue to shrink, the electric power applied during operation is caused. + _Privacy & and power have also been greatly reduced. Therefore, for various components, the tolerance defects and error levels that can be tolerated when shooting as a 1F are also greatly reduced. Used in today's integrated circuit manufacturing processes Among the deposited dielectric materials (due to chemical vapor deposition (chem | capapor Deposition, CVD) has better step coverage (c0verage)), employees of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs can consume Printed agency force, so that it plays an important role in the semiconductor manufacturing process. And because the general dielectric material contains silicon, if you distinguish it by the source of silicon's reactive gas, it can still be divided into silicon sintered silicon (SiH4 >) and organic silicon compounds containing silicon and oxygen (T EOS> as The main two different deposition methods of cvd dielectric materials 0 -2- 'The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 κ 297 mm) 472087 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (there are two common dielectric materials Silicon oxide (Si02), silicon nitride (Sj3N4), phosphosilicate glass (PSG), borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG), etc., and borophosphosilicate glass is an insulating dielectric material commonly used before metal processing By performing high-temperature thermal flow, it can increase its flatness and reduce the influence of the BPSG film on the surface of the wafer. Therefore, BpSG film is widely used as a surface planarizing dielectric material before metal processing has been performed. The upper 0 side dream glass is usually formed by chemical vapor deposition (Chemjca | Vapor Deposition, CVD). It can use TE0s and boron and phosphorus-containing organic compounds τΜΒ and TMP as the process gas of BPSG. While in order to make The reaction can be carried out at a lower temperature, usually ozone (〇3) is added to participate in the reaction, and TMB, TMP, and TEOS are all liquid at room temperature and normal pressure, so these compounds need to be heated to increase their Saturated vapor pressure 'or carrier gas is used to increase the partial pressure of the liquid reactant. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ------ --pack- ----- Order, f Jing first read the notes on the back and then fill out this page) Refer to the first figure, showing a liquid injection valve 10 of a chemical vapor deposition process machine, which is heated The device 12 is used to keep the gas line at a high temperature. The reaction liquid source 14 is sent to the liquid injection piston through the liquid line 16 and the carrier gas 18 is passed to carry the gasified liquid reactant to the process chamber 20. The advantage is that the flow of carrier gas and liquid reactants can be controlled. However, the internal diameter of the piston is small, and the liquid pipeline to the process chamber contains at least three pistons. After the deposition process is completed, the liquid reactants have been used in accordance with Chinese standards (CNS A4 specification (21〇x 297mm> 472087 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () Easy to remain in these pistons' Cause the concentration of boron and scale next time to be unstable, especially when the concentration of boron and phosphorus is high, it will be serious Affects the quality of the deposited borophosphosilicate glass. The first picture shows the cross-sectional structure of the phosphorous silicate glass deposited in the conventional technology after high temperature heat flow. Among them, a plurality of semiconductor element structures 24 have been formed on the substrate 22 , And form a dielectric layer (not shown) on the substrate and components for isolation, and then before the metallization process, in order to flatten the substrate, TEOS / 03, TMB, TMPO are used as the reaction gas The BPSG deposition reaction of APCVD was performed to form a so-called bpteOS thin film layer 26. The main function of the thinner dielectric layer is the intermediate layer of the bp TE0S thin film layer 26. Because it does not contain bricks or boron atoms, it does not react with the source (drain) of the device and affect the electricity of the memory. Sex. As mentioned above, in order to increase the flatness of BPSG, it is necessary to perform heat flow at about 850 ~ 90CTC, and as shown in the second figure, the traditional ΒΡΤΕΕΟS thin film layer 26 due to boron phosphorus The content is not stable, so it is easy to form bubble defects28, especially when the high concentration of borophosphosilicate glass is deposited. If such defects occur in the manufacturing process, it not only affects the product yield, but also affects subsequent processes and production capacity. Therefore, a solution is strongly needed to avoid this phenomenon. Borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG) has very good absorption of water vapor in the air because of its phosphorus content. If the phosphorus content is too high, it is prone to bubble defects after high temperature processes. -4-This paper size applies to Chinese National Standards (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 public love) — — ;, 丨 || 丨 ----I · II (Please read the notes on the back and fill in this page before filling in) _ Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Consumer Cooperatives 472087 A7 B7 V.

In order to effectively improve the fluidity of borophosphosilicate glass to improve the flattening effect, the heat flow (therma 丨 f 0w) temperature, but defects often occur due to excessive temperature, which leads to unstable operating characteristics of the fabricated integrated circuit. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a process method to avoid the pentamite content of borophosphosilicate glass.
