Abstract

A method for preventing the metal contamination on substrate backside is disclosed. During forming many types of semiconductor devices and circuits on the substrate, it is inevitable to form conductive or insulated films on the substrate backside. So when metal plugs are formed on the substrate, the substrate backside is also deposited metal film. If the metal directly contacts the poly-silicon formed in the former process, this metal film will be the hard mask of poly-silicon and oxide film etching. Therefore, this invention forms a thin oxide layer on the backside of poly-silicon film in advance to avoid the metal film from contacting the poly-silicon film, so as to resolve the traditional technology problem.

Description of the invention (1) Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a method for preventing metal contamination on the backside of a substrate, and in particular, to prevent the development of a wire structure during development, The metal deposition on the back of the substrate serves as a mask for etching the polycrystalline silicon layer and the silicon oxide layer. Background of the Invention: In the semiconductor manufacturing process, various thin films are deposited on the front surface of a substrate to form semiconductor elements and circuits. However, although the purpose of forming a thin film is to deposit the thin film on the front surface of the substrate, if it is used in the deposition process, Furnace (furnace) for the deposition operation, the film is not only formed on the front side of the substrate, the front side and the back side of the substrate will be deposited on the film; since the current semiconductor manufacturing process, the back side of the substrate is not used, so as long as the film deposited on the back side of the substrate It does not affect the fabrication of semiconductor elements and their circuits. However, when depositing tungsten metal to make metal plugs between wires, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is used to deposit the plugs on the uppermost layer of the substrate to form the plugs. Currently, many semiconductor processes are used. Tungsten metal is used as the plug, but during the deposition process, tungsten metal 70 will be deposited on the back part of the substrate. The tungsten metal 70 is usually in the gas through hole of the wafer holder 3 in the chemical vapor deposition machine shown in FIG. At 7, a tungsten metal 70 deposit is formed on the back surface of the substrate, as shown in FIG. 2, and a concentric circular tungsten metal 71 is also deposited at the center of the back surface of the substrate. If the substrate before the tungsten metal plug is manufactured, The outermost surface layer is a silicon oxide layer, and the deposited tungsten metal 70 or 71 will not perform any function with the silicon oxide layer. Then, if the deposition of the top layer on the back of the substrate when making tungsten plugs is _____ 2 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page)

Description of Invention (Work) When the polysilicon layer (PolysilicOn) is used, tungsten metal may be deposited on some of the polycrystalline silicon layer, but the next layer will be produced later. In the process of metal wires, a photoresist is used to define the position of the wire. When the semiconductor process uses a photoresist removal solution to remove the photoresist, the entire substrate must be directly immersed (dip) in the developer solution. Does not invade metal materials or silicon oxide materials, but will erode the polycrystalline silicon material. In this way, the polycrystalline silicon layer on the back of the substrate is protected by tungsten metal, so it will not be etched by the photoresist removal solution, and the exposed polycrystalline silicon portion It will be exposed to the photoresist removal liquid, which is similar to the situation where tungsten metal is used as a protective layer for etching polycrystalline silicon. This will cause unevenness of the substrate and make it difficult to expose the subsequent process. The details of the tungsten metal formed on the back of the substrate are shown in Figure 3. The substrates 20 shown in Figures A to C all show the back of the substrate, and the components on the front of the substrate 20 are not shown in the figure. After multiple steps, After the semiconductor device is manufactured, a multilayer film structure has been deposited on the back surface of the substrate 20, as shown in FIG. 3A. The back surface of the substrate 20 has a multilayer thin film structure. In this schematic diagram, only the silicon oxide layer 21 and the polycrystalline silicon layer 22 and a portion of tungsten are shown. Metal 23. After the tungsten metal plug is formed in the manufacturing process, the next layer of metal wiring is successively produced, and a metal layer is formed on the front surface of the substrate 20 by sputtering (not shown). Since the metal layer is formed by sputtering, Therefore, there is no deposition of a metal layer on the back of the substrate. Continuing, a photoresist is used to define the metal wire, and a developing solution is used to remove the softened photoresist. In this process, the developing solution will expose the back of the substrate 20 to the substrate. The outer polycrystalline silicon layer 22 is eroded (the photoresist removal liquid has a large difference in the uranium etch ratio between the metal material or the silicon oxide material and the polycrystalline silicon material), as shown in Figure 3B, and the polycrystalline silicon layer 22a located under the tungsten metal 23 will cause Tungsten metal 3 This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) Γ ----------- ^ ----------------- (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 515072 A7 _____ B7___ V. Invention Description ()) 23 is left behind, and its polycrystalline silicon layer is about 550 angstroms thick, Therefore, the silicon oxide layer 21, which was originally protected by polycrystalline silicon 22 Therefore, a metal wire is formed on the front surface of the substrate by using an engraving method, and a silicon oxide material is deposited between the metal wires as insulation, and in order to allow the subsequently formed wires to communicate with the metal wires. In the manufacturing process, a contact window (via) on the front surface of the substrate 20 is formed in the oxide layer and a metal material is filled in the contact window. In this way, a photoresist is used to define the silicon oxide layer in the silicon oxide layer. The contact window shape is described and formed using wet etchin. However, as the back surface of the substrate is shown in FIG. 3B, the oxide layer 21 on the back surface of the substrate 20 includes crane metal 23 and polycrystalline silicon 22a. When the other unprotected silicon oxide layer 21 is wet-etched as described above, the unprotected silicon oxide layer 21 on the back of the substrate 20 will be eroded away with the wet etching process, forming a pattern such as The condition shown in FIG. 3c is defined as the hard mask of the silicon oxide layer 21 with polycrystalline silicon 22a and tungsten metal 23 on the back surface of the substrate 20. However, the thickness of the oxide sand layer 21 is about 6000 angstroms. , Make After the back surface of the substrate 20 is etched, the silicon oxide layer 21a peels off, and contaminates other substrates in the same shipment (㈣). Even if the silicon oxide layer 21a is not peeled off, it will cause the substrate 20 to be uneven. When making the wire, the lithography step is used to define the focus of the stepper when the wires of other layers are difficult. Therefore, the present invention provides a method for preventing the back surface of the substrate from being contaminated by tungsten metal, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems.

Description of the invention (4) The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method to prevent metal pollution on the back of the substrate Before using the developing solution to define the metal wires on the plug, 'a thin silicon oxide layer is formed between the metal layer on the back of the wafer and the polycrystalline silicon layer to prevent the polycrystalline sand layer from being attacked by the developing solution. A secondary object of the present invention is to provide a method for preventing metal contamination on the back surface of a substrate, preventing a silicon oxide layer located under a polycrystalline silicon layer from being exposed to a subsequent wet etching solution, making the substrate uneven and causing difficulty in focusing subsequent lithography. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preventing the metal contamination problem on the back surface of the substrate, and to prevent the silicon oxide layer and the polycrystalline silicon layer on the back surface of the wafer from peeling off. The present invention uses the following steps to achieve the above-mentioned items: First, a substrate for completing an active device is provided, and a metal layer is formed on the uppermost layer of the substrate by sputtering, and the uppermost layer on the rear surface of the substrate is polycrystalline silicon. Layer, and then define the metal layer to form a first metal connection structure, and form a thin layer of silicon oxide on the polycrystalline silicon layer described on the back surface of the substrate to prevent the formation of tungsten metal plugs between the tungsten metal and the back surface of the substrate The polycrystalline silicon layers are in direct contact with each other; finally, a tungsten metal plug is formed on the first metal connection structure.

The back surface of the substrate is partially saturated, which leads to the unevenness of the substrate, which makes it difficult to focus during subsequent lithography. At the same time, in order to prevent the back surface of the substrate from being eroded and peeling off in the subsequent steps, it will cause other substrates in the same batch to be affected. 6 scales are applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm) _ (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Installation -------- Order ------- -· 515072 Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V. Description of Invention b) contamination. The following example will use the multi-metal connection process to form a multi-metal connection on the substrate after the main components of the ultra-large integrated circuit have been completed, and use tungsten metal as the material of the plug to illustrate the technology of the present invention. means. Investigate the reason for the formation of tungsten metal on the back of the substrate. As shown in Figure 1, when the chemical vapor phase reaction (CVD) is performed, the wafer is placed in the crystal base 11 of the reaction machine for reaction, and the reaction gas is tungsten fluoride. (WF6) and sarane (SiHLO or hydrogen (H2) are released from the aerosol structure 12, and the heater 2 is used to make the entire reactor reach the required reaction temperature. During the reaction, the substrate can be fixed to the crystal base 11 In the process, vent holes 5 and 6 will be formed below the crystal base 11. The above-mentioned vent holes 5 and 6 are connected to the pump pump 1 through a gas valve 8 to reduce the pressure and use a pressure difference to fix the substrate to the crystal base. 11. After the reaction is completed, the front and back pressures of the substrate need to be adjusted to the same, so the gas valve 8 is closed, and the gas valve 9 is opened to release a passive gas such as argon (Ar) to adjust the pressure. Using an external gas such as argon to adjust the pressure on the front and back of the substrate is inaccurate. Therefore, the gas valve 10 will be opened to release the reaction gas that was only on the front of the substrate through the vent pipe 7 to the back of the substrate to make the pressure truly reach equilibrium. After entering the reaction gas, there is tungsten gold It is deposited near the vent hole 7 on the back surface of the substrate, which results in the partial deposition of tungsten metals 70 and 71 on the back surface of the substrate, as shown in Figure 2. Therefore, tungsten metals 70 and 71 are used as a hard cover in the conventional technology. The problem of engraving to the silicon oxide layer; The above tungsten metal can be other metal materials such as aluminum (A1). It is pointed out that the formation of tungsten metal can be formed by three kinds of pipes: 1.

Invention description (/) 2. WF6 + 3H2- > W (S) + 6HF 3. 2WF6 + The 3Si ^ 2W (s) + 3SiF4 reaction gas will deposit tungsten metal near the vent holes 7 on the back of the substrate. When tungsten metal is deposited on the front side of the substrate during the semiconductor process, it is inevitable that tungsten metal will be deposited on the part of the substrate. The invention is that before the formation of tungsten metal on the back of the substrate, a silicon oxide layer 200 is deposited to protect the polycrystalline silicon layer 22 below it. The metal pattern is corroded by the developer used, so that there will be no unevenness of the substrate in the conventional technology. The manufacturing method is as follows. First, please refer to FIG. 4 to provide a substrate 20, which The above-mentioned substrate 20 has completed the active device (not shown), and only the back surface of the substrate is shown in the schematic cross-sectional view of the process of FIG. 4 because the focus of the present invention is to maintain the integrity of the back surface of the substrate; Therefore, it is necessary to deposit various conductive or non-conductive thin films, so a multi-layer structure is formed on the back surface of the substrate. In this embodiment, only the silicon oxide thin layer 21 and the polycrystalline silicon layer 22 are deposited on the back surface of the substrate 20. The reason for the leveling is caused by the polycrystalline layer 22 and the oxidized sand thin layer 21 located at the outermost layer being saturated. The multilayer structure under the silicon oxide thin layer 21 is used to make spacers, hard masks and gate structures. (gate structure) is deposited on the back surface of the substrate. The present invention can also be applied to static random access memory (SRAM), and the above-mentioned thin oxide sand layer 21 is a two-layer oxide sand structure (not shown in the figure. 7) The substrate 20 is formed by sputtering (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page).

This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications ( (210 X 29 / mm) 515072 Printed on clothing A7 B7 by a member of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Consumer Cooperatives V. Description of the invention (i) The first is a metal layer, and the photolithography (resist) is used to define it The first layer of metal wire structure (not shown) is formed. The material of the first layer of metal layer is one of aluminum copper alloy (AlCu) and aluminum (A1). (02) Plasma, which is a reactive gas, forms a silicon oxide layer 200 on the polycrystalline silicon layer 22, and the thickness of the formed silicon oxide layer 200 is greater than 10 angstroms. Because the silicon oxide layer 200 is described above, The polycrystalline silicon layer 22 is protected, and the substrate is placed in a developing solution in the subsequent process steps. The first metal wire structure is defined. The developer has a low etching efficiency for the silicon oxide layer 200 when the reaction temperature is less than 105 ° C. Therefore, the polycrystalline silicon layer 22 can be protected from the tungsten metal layer 23 as The etching mask performs the etching operation of the polycrystalline silicon layer 22 and the silicon oxide thin layer 21. Next, a tungsten metal layer is formed by using a chemical vapor deposition method (CVD) to make a tungsten metal plug for connecting two wire structures. During the tungsten metal plug process, tungsten metal 23 is also deposited on the back surface of the substrate. Since the surface of the polycrystalline silicon layer 22 is protected by a thin layer of sand oxide 200, the tungsten metal 23 is not directly deposited on the polycrystalline silicon layer 22, therefore, No conventional technical problems will occur; the above-mentioned material for making the plug can also be replaced by other materials such as indium copper alloy (AlCu) or indium (A1). In this way, the material is directly deposited on the polycrystalline stone layer 22 The metal is an aluminum-copper alloy (AlCu) or aluminum (A1). In summary, the conventional technique provided by the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention has more oxidation than the conventional technique before depositing a metal plug. Thin layer of silicon As an etching stop layer during the development process defining a metal structure, it prevents damage to the polycrystalline silicon layer underneath. 2. The present invention does not suffer from the etching phenomenon of polycrystalline silicon layer and silicon oxide layer, because this paper scale applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 Specifications (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Installation 515072 A7 B7 V.
