Description
521385 五、發明說明α) 5 - 1發明領域: 本發明係有關於一種於積體電路形成多層内連線的方 法,特別是一種有關於可利用顯影液控制其厚度的溝填材 料,形成先形介層洞之雙鑲嵌内連線的方法。 5-2發明背景: 當圖形尺寸不斷的縮小,使得更多的元件可以建構在 單位面積的底材上。當元件尺寸的設計規則縮小到低於1 微米時,為配合較高的積集密度,於是產生了多層内連線 的利用。透過先進的半導體製程技術,次微米或深次微米 的積體電路元件迫使加速了對多層、内連線的需求。而内連 線結構的尺寸也必須同時加以縮小,以配合較小的元件尺 寸。因此,當積體電路技術進入深次微米的範圍,就需要 更先進的内連線結構和運用。 鑲嵌結構設計是其中一種符合這個需求的結構。鑲嵌 製程的主要優點是,其去除了内連線金屬層的蝕刻製程。 此外,第二個優點是減少了介電層的溝填製程。而第三個 優點是,其避免了與微影重疊容許度有關的問題,而可達 到較高的内連線封裝密度。鑲嵌製程可主要分為兩類,單 鑲欲(single damascene)和雙鑲欲(dual damascene)。單521385 V. Description of the invention α) 5-1 Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a method for forming multilayer interconnections in integrated circuits, and particularly to a trench filling material whose thickness can be controlled by using a developing solution. Method for double-mosaic interconnecting of mesogenic hole. 5-2 Background of the Invention: As the size of graphics continues to shrink, more components can be constructed on a unit area substrate. When the design rule of component size is reduced to less than 1 micron, in order to match the higher accumulation density, the use of multilayer interconnects has been generated. Through advanced semiconductor process technology, sub-micron or deep sub-micron integrated circuit components have forced the demand for multilayer, interconnects to be accelerated. The size of the interconnect structure must also be reduced to match smaller component sizes. Therefore, as integrated circuit technology enters the sub-micron range, more advanced interconnect structures and applications are required. Mosaic structure design is one of the structures that meets this need. The main advantage of the damascene process is that it removes the etching process of the interconnect metal layer. In addition, a second advantage is that the trench filling process of the dielectric layer is reduced. The third advantage is that it avoids the problems related to the lithographic overlap tolerance and achieves a higher density of interconnect packaging. Mosaic processes can be divided into two categories, single damascene and dual damascene. single

Description of the invention (2) The damascene process includes forming a wire by plugging the pattern into the dielectric layer, and then transferring the pattern to the second dielectric layer to form the actual The interconnecting circuit metallizes the wiring in this dielectric layer to wire the lower conductive layer. When the technology of integrated circuits reaches 0.18 microns, the technology of dual damascene is widely used. In the dual damascene process, the pattern of both the via and the trench is transferred to the dielectric layer, and then a conductive material such as a metal is used to simultaneously fill the base via and the trench ^ to form an interconnected circuit connection. Line and embolism. The dual damascene process reduces the number of process steps for the formation of vias and trenches in the metallization layer, thereby providing the advantages of simplified processes and reduced manufacturing costs. This is because the openings of the metal layer lines and the vias of the vias connecting the metal layer lines to the lower conductive layer are formed at the same time. The dual mosaic structure needs to face the challenge of the development of the pattern transfer process. Lithography and post-etching techniques have become more difficult due to the more complex layer stacking and surface shapes of the intermediate layers. Therefore, many different stages of dual damascene pattern transfer can achieve similar structures before filling the conductive material. According to the basic etching process sequence, a variety of dual damascene processes are generated, such as self-alignment, forming trenches first, and forming via holes first. Self-aligned dual damascene (SADD) requires a relatively thick intermediate layer as a light retroreflective layer, an etch stop layer, and a hard mask to provide control over the critical size of the vias beneath it. Because self-aligned vias require near-perfect trench-to-via hole alignment, and face the challenge of maintaining a high etch selection ratio of the dielectric layer and the intermediate termination layer when #etching the via hole, so The use of self-aligning dual mosaics is limited.

The via hole pattern is aligned with the trench 'and the via hole is etched down to the lower conductive layer.

,首先是將介層洞的微影完成於整個堆疊結構上。然後I虫 刻介層洞,去除光阻,再進行溝渠的微影製程。在有些時 候,介層洞的底部會覆蓋有機材料,於溝渠蝕刻時將介層 洞底部保護住。 S 一般都知道對反射光的控制,在微影製程中是非常重 要的。對光阻做圖案轉移時,來自其下材料的反射光會導 致轉移到光阻上的圖案失真。而在雙鑲嵌結構中底部反反 射塗佈(bottom-anti - reflective coating,BARC)的利用 ,不僅是為了防止轉移到光阻的圖案失真,同時也是可充 當溝填材料(gap-fi 1 1 ing material )。然而,於先形介層 洞雙鑲嵌製程中使用底部反反射塗佈為溝填材料時,就產 生了許多令人關切的問題。當底部反反射塗佈材料與低介 電常數(low k)介電層於介層洞接觸時,於接觸的地方= 會發生化學反應’而在溝渠蝕刻時會形成一層薄薄的殘留 物’造成溝渠#刻不完全而有柵攔(fence)問題的產生。 例如第一圖所示,一低介電常數之介電材料i 2〇形成於具 有導電結構110之底材1 〇 〇上,當利用底部反反射塗佈材料First, the lithography of the vias is completed on the entire stack structure. Then I etched the interstitial hole, removed the photoresist, and then performed the lithography process of the trench. In some cases, the bottom of the via is covered with organic material, which protects the bottom of the via during the trench etching. S generally knows the control of reflected light, which is very important in the lithography process. When pattern transfer is performed on a photoresist, the reflected light from the underlying material will cause distortion of the pattern transferred to the photoresist. The use of bottom-anti-reflective coating (BARC) in the dual mosaic structure is not only to prevent the distortion of the pattern transferred to the photoresist, but also to serve as a trench filling material (gap-fi 1 1 ing material). However, when using the bottom retroreflective coating as the trench filling material in the double-damascene process of the preformed via, many problems have arisen. When the bottom anti-reflective coating material is in contact with the low dielectric constant (low k) dielectric layer in the interlayer hole, where it is in contact = a chemical reaction will occur 'and a thin layer of residue will form during trench etching' This results in the incompleteness of the ditch # and a fence problem. For example, as shown in the first figure, a low-k dielectric material i 2 0 is formed on a substrate 1 100 having a conductive structure 110. When a bottom anti-reflection coating material is used,
521385 五、發明說明(4) 做為溝填材料時,會有柵欄1 3 0的生成。再者,含有氮原 子的溝填材料與低介電常數介電層接觸時,會因氮原子的 擴散,而對介電層的介電常數產生影響。當形成介層洞開 口後,底材會產生局部性的反射變化。這不僅是因為局部 性反射差異所造成,也是因為圖形密度的不同,而使得光 阻厚度的不同所造成的。而光阻會有嚴重的厚度差異,則 是因為圖形密度的不同所造成。而解決此一問題較佳的方 法,則是使用有機的底部反反射塗佈,其一方面可以使得 反射現象更為均勻,另一方面可降低表面的階梯高度。 然而,於先形介層洞雙鑲嵌製程利用底部反反射塗佈 做為溝填材料時,會因不平坦的表面而造成溝渠輪廓的扭 曲,而降低微影的製程空間。傳統利用底部反反射塗佈填 塞介層洞的方法,很難使得密集區的介層洞和疏離區的介 層洞有相同的填塞結果。底部反反射塗佈的表面高低差異 是非常大的,其因著圖形的密度和尺寸的不同而不同。參 考第二圖,一介電層2 2 0形成於具有導電結構2 1 0之底材 2 0 0上,且其利用底部反反射塗佈材料2 3 0做為溝填材料時 ,有些時候介層洞2 3 2並未完全被填塞,或有含孔隙的介 層洞2 3 4產生,更或形成粗糙不平坦的表面。為了避免蝕 刻溝渠時產生柵欄問題,控制溝填材料的厚度就顯得益發 重要。傳統技術中是以複雜的蝕刻製程來控制底部反反射 塗佈的厚度。然而,以一種溝填能力較佳,又不含氮原子 ,且對厚度容易控制的材料來當溝填材料,以產生較佳的521385 V. Description of the invention (4) When used as a trench filling material, a fence 130 will be generated. Furthermore, when a trench filling material containing nitrogen atoms is in contact with a low dielectric constant dielectric layer, the diffusion of nitrogen atoms will affect the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer. After the opening of the via is formed, the substrate will have a local reflection change. This is not only caused by local reflection differences, but also due to the difference in pattern density, which results in differences in the thickness of the photoresist. The serious thickness difference of the photoresist is caused by the difference of the pattern density. The better way to solve this problem is to use organic bottom anti-reflective coating, which can make the reflection phenomenon more uniform on the one hand and reduce the step height of the surface on the other. However, when the double-layer damascene process of the preformed via uses the bottom anti-reflection coating as the trench filling material, it will cause distortion of the trench contour due to the uneven surface and reduce the lithographic process space. The traditional method of filling bottom vias with anti-reflection coating is difficult to make the bottom vias in dense areas and the bottom vias have the same results. The surface height of the bottom retroreflective coating is very different, and it varies with the density and size of the pattern. Referring to the second figure, when a dielectric layer 2 2 0 is formed on a substrate 2 0 0 having a conductive structure 2 10 and the bottom reflective coating material 2 3 0 is used as a trench filling material, sometimes the dielectric layer The layer holes 2 3 2 are not completely filled, or there are pore-containing interlayer holes 2 3 4, or a rough and uneven surface is formed. In order to avoid the problem of fences when etching trenches, it is important to control the thickness of trench filling materials. Traditionally, the thickness of the bottom anti-reflective coating is controlled by a complicated etching process. However, it is better to use a trench filling material that does not contain nitrogen atoms and is easy to control the thickness to produce a better trench filling material.

The advantage of using a phenolic resin as a groove filling material is that it can obtain a flat surface required to increase the process space because of its good groove filling ability. Another advantage is that the phenolic resin does not contain nitrogen atoms, which greatly helps the application of low dielectric constant materials in the dual damascene process. The third advantage is that the phenolic resin is easily soluble, such as 2.38% TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide).

Description of the invention (7) 5-4 Detailed description of the invention: Some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail as follows. However, in addition to the detailed description, the present invention can also be widely implemented in other embodiments, and the scope of the present invention is not limited, which is subject to the scope of subsequent patents. The present invention provides a method for forming a double-mosaic interconnect structure of a preformed via hole. The main point of the present invention is to use, for example, a resin (η 〇 v ο 1 ak), polystyrene (PHS), acrylic acid (acrylate), methacrylic acid ester (methacry 1 ate), And cycloaliphatic maleic anhydride copolymer (C OMA) as a material for filling the via hole, and can transfer the trench pattern to a relatively flat surface, and also protect the via hole when the trench is etched Bottom, and avoid the generation of fence problems.

The substrate 3 0 0 includes any suitable semiconductor material at any stage of the manufacturing process that requires interconnecting the component. The conductive structure 3 10 is any structure that requires electrical contact, such as a metal wire. Then, a cover layer 32 such as silicon nitride can be selectively formed on the substrate 300 to prevent metal from diffusing into the structure thereon. Next, a first dielectric layer 33 0 and a second dielectric layer 350 are formed, and a two-layered termination layer 3 4 0 may be selectively formed between the two dielectric layers. The material of the two dielectric layers may be a low dielectric constant material, but is not limited thereto. If it is chosen not to form the last-cut layer, it is sufficient to form only one dielectric layer on the substrate 300 to achieve the purpose of forming a dual mosaic structure.

Description of the invention (8) The etchant of the dielectric layer has a high selection ratio for the purpose of being used as a trench etch stop layer, which can be a nitride stone layer. Then, a first pattern transfer photoresist 36 is formed on the second dielectric layer 350, and the first pattern transfer photoresist 360 defines a first opening 37. The first opening is a via hole. Then, using the photoresist 3 60 of the first pattern transfer as a mask, the second dielectric layer 3 50, the etch stop layer 3 4 0, and the first dielectric layer 3 3 0 are etched to expose the cover layer 3 2 0. If there is no cover layer 3 2 0 in the structure, the purpose of this etching step is to expose the conductive structure 3 1 0 of the substrate 3 0 0. After the opening of the via hole 3700 is completed, the photoresist 36 of the first pattern transfer is removed, as shown in FIG. 3B. The next step is the focus of the present invention. Using a trench filling material such as a phenolic resin, the openings of the interlayer holes 37 are filled to form a phenolic resin layer 3 80 on the second dielectric layer 350. Then, the phenolic resin layer 38 is then chemically and mechanically ground to a height of the second dielectric layer 3 50 as shown in the third C diagram. The grinding step here can not only flatten the acid resin layer 3 0 0, but also prevent the problem of wheel misalignment from occurring when the developer is used later. Next, a bottom anti-reflective coating layer 390 is formed on the second dielectric layer 3 50 containing the interlayer hole 3 800 filled with the phenolic resin, as shown in the third D diagram. The bottom anti-reflective coating layer 390 is not only used as a retro-reflective layer, but also protects the phenolic resin from being mixed with the deep ultraviolet photoresist used in the future, and prevents the acid resin from being cross-linked by deep ultraviolet light exposure. Then, a second pattern-transferred photoresist 400 is formed on the bottom anti-reflective coating layer 390. The photoresist 4 0 of the second pattern transfer defines the trench opening 4 1 0. The photoresist 4 0 0 transferred by the second pattern is used as a mask, and the bottom anti-reflective coating layer 3 9 0 is etched.

Then, in an embodiment, the part that is not covered by the bottom anti-reflective coating layer 3 9 0 is removed. The thickness of the acid resin layer until the thickness of the acid resin layer is about the same as that of the etching stopper layer 3 40, as shown in the third F diagram. The thickness of the phenolic resin layer is determined by the thickness required to protect the bottom of the vias from being etched by trenches and to avoid fence problems. Because the phenolic resin is soluble in the developing solution, such as a solution containing 2.38% TMAH, the step of removing a part of the phenolic resin can be easily controlled by controlling the removal time. Then, the second dielectric layer 3 50 is etched to expose the etch stop layer 3 4 0 and a trench opening 4 1 0 is formed, as shown in the third G diagram. In addition, in another embodiment, a portion of the aging acid resin layer 3 8 0 is not removed before etching the second dielectric layer to form a trench opening, but the second dielectric layer 3 5 0 and The phenol resin layer 38 was formed to have the same structure as that of the third G pattern. If there is no cover layer 3 2 0, the photoresist of the second pattern transfer 4 0 0, the bottom retroreflective coating layer 3 9 0, and the remaining acid resin layer 3 8 0 b are removed to expose the conductive structure 3 1 0. If the cover layer 3 2 0 is applied, the cover layer 3 2 0 must be etched again to expose the conductive structure 3 1 0. It must be understood here that before the cover layer 3 2 0 is etched, the remaining acid test resin layer 3 8 0 b will be removed first. At the same time, the etch stop layer 3 4 0 exposed to the trench opening 4 1 0 is also removed by etching the cover layer 3 2 0. Then, the photoresist 4 0 of the second pattern transfer and the bottom reflective layer 3 9 0 are removed, as shown in the third figure. The second pattern transfer photoresist 400 can be removed by the traditional oxygen plasma deashing method. and

The above screen is preferably flat and flat. By displaying any low-dielectric barriers, the interconnects are used. A conductive metal layer is formed to expose the layer. It can also be used as a barrier to prevent the surface of the dielectricized surface of the embodiment from being changed (a dielectric material of a fence material fills the opening of the dielectric hole and the conductive layer of the structure 4 2 0, such as the first layer). The step 420 includes at least that the conductive structure with the substrate is the second dielectric layer of the electrical circuit. This conductive layer is deposited to cover the bottom of the opening and the side wall before forming the conductive layer. The material of the V-stop layer is diffused. To the introduction of the "characteristics of phenolic resins," the subsequent lithographic process has entered into the process space. In addition, the phenolic resins will not be removed due to the removal of the phenolic resins). Furthermore, the nitrogen-free nature of phenolic resins has no effect. The gold shown in Fig. 2I is a metal deposited continuously, and the flat can be steel deposited. A selective barrier layer is made in the electrical layer. Longevity, can reach photoresist, can produce atoms in the process of coating as phenolic resin, will not block
