Abstract

The method utilizes a sacrificial layer to form an isolation trench with ladder profile on a substrate. A tunnel oxide layer, a floating gate polysilicon layer and a patterned silicon nitride layer as a hard mask layer are sequentially formed on the substrate. The floating gate polysilicon layer is etched up to the tunnel oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer serves as a hard mask. The sacrificial layer is formed around the floating gate polysilicon layer in situ. After etching the substrate for forming the trench, the sacrificial layer is removed. Heating the trench forms a liner oxide layer and then depositing a silicon dioxide layer fills the trench. The method according to the invention reduces the voids in the trench and improves the yield of mass production.

Description of the invention () Field of invention: (Please read the notes on the back before writing this page) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a shallow trench isolation structure with self-aligned floating gates, especially A method for manufacturing a flash memory with a shallow trench isolation structure with self-aligned floating gates. Background of the Invention: With the development of integrated circuit technology, the component line width is becoming smaller and smaller. Therefore, Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) technology has been gradually used to make insulation structures between active areas. The manufacturing method of shallow trench isolation is often used in the production of flash memory, because the memory cells produced by it have a minimum size, which can make the distribution of flash memory have a higher density to reduce the bit The cost of yuan. However, the field enhancement effect caused by the overlapping of the floating gate and the shallow trench corner of this flash memory will inevitably decrease the field enhancement effect. The breakdown voltage of the gate oxide. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs To improve this phenomenon, a self-aligned floating trench isolation structure with shallow trenches was proposed. Self-aligned shallow trench isolation structures of floating gates can self-align with each other because the same mask is used to etch the floating gate and shallow trench structures. Because this paper is again applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 550738 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () This eliminates the floating 'overlapping of the gate electrode and shallow trench structure' and further improves the gate Case of extreme oxide layer collapse. (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs However, there are still some problems with this type of shallow trench isolation structure with self-aligned floating gates. Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 1D ′ for a schematic diagram of a manufacturing process of a shallow trench manufacturing method using a shallow trench isolation structure of a self-aligned floating gate. As shown in FIG. 1A, a through oxide layer 102, a polycrystalline silicon layer 104, and a patterned silicon nitride layer 106 and openings 10 8 are sequentially formed on a substrate 100. . Next, please refer to the first figure B, using the nitrided layer 106 as a mask, and anisotropically etch the polycrystalline silicon layer 104, the through oxide layer, and the substrate 100 through the opening 108, thereby forming a shallow trench 1 10 structure. . In the first figure C, a thermal oxidation method is used to form a liner oxide layer 12 on the inner wall of the shallow trench 110, the tunnel oxide layer 102 and the polycrystalline silicon layer 104. Next, please refer to the first figure D, and then deposit and fill the inner side of the liner oxide layer 1 12 with the silicon oxide material and south of the nitride layer 106 to form the oxide layer 1 16. As shown in the figure, when a thermal oxidation method is used to form a liner oxide layer 12 on the inner wall of the shallow trench 110, the tunneling oxide layer 102, and the polycrystalline silicon layer 104, because of the relationship between oxygen and oxygen, The liner oxide layer 112 connecting the inner wall of the shallow trench Π 0 and the polycrystalline silicon layer 104 may be slightly more prominent than the liner oxide layer 112 connecting the tunneling oxide layer 102. In other words, the liner oxide layer Π2 connected to the tunneling oxide layer 102 is relatively depressed. Therefore, when the silicon oxide material is deposited and fills the inside of the liner oxide layer 1 12, small pores (Void) 1 14 are easily formed here. This paper scale applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 550738 A 7 B7 V.

Description of the invention () Extremely shallow trench structure In a manufacturing method, when a shallow trench 2 1 0 is formed, a sacrificial layer 2 1 4 formed of a polymer and an oxide is simultaneously formed on a side wall of the shallow trench 2 10, so that the inner contour of the shallow trench 2 1 0 is formed into a Stepped. ♦ When the oxide layer 2 1 6 is deposited in the shallow trench 2 1 0, the probability of forming internal voids will be greatly reduced. Therefore, using the method for manufacturing the shallow trench structure of the self-aligned floating gate of the present invention, the electrical property of the integrated circuit produced will be more stable, and the quality of the product will be more excellent. Those skilled in the art, when it is easy to find the method of the present invention, touches the polycrystalline stone layer 204, the tunneling oxide layer 200, and the substrate 200, and even forms the sacrificial layer 214 and removes the sacrificial layer 214. These processes can be performed using the same equipment, such as: Applied Materials' DPS and Tokyo Electron's 84DD etcher without having to replace other process equipment. In this way, on the one hand, it saves the time consumed when the equipment is switched, and on the other hand, it reduces the chance of the wafer being contaminated. Therefore, the present invention can be said to be a method for manufacturing a shallow trench isolation structure with self-aligned floating gates that saves production costs and simplifies the production process. As understood by those familiar with this technology, 'The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of patent application for the present invention; all other things that are completed without departing from the spirit disclosed by the present invention, etc. Effective changes or modifications should be included in the scope of patent application described below. ..............
