Integrated on a single chip. For example, memory, logic operation circuits, and peripheral input / output integrated circuits are made on the same wafer to improve the performance of the integrated integrated circuit. Because the operating voltage and demand characteristics of the three are different, gates of different thicknesses are required. The electrical layer responds to the needs of different circuit functions on the same wafer. For the transistor located in Lu Jiyi's body region, the most important thing is how to avoid the occurrence of leakage current so as to reduce the refresh frequency so as to improve the operating efficiency of the memory. Therefore, the transistor in the memory region needs a gate dielectric layer having a relatively thick Equivalent Oxide Thickness (E0τ). For transistors located in the logic circuit area, the most important thing is how to increase the operation rate, as the leakage current has little effect on the operation. The transistor in the logic circuit area needs to have a thinner equivalent oxide layer thickness = gate dielectric layer. The integrated circuit located at the peripheral input / output needs to support a maximum electrical power, so the equivalent oxide layer of the required gate dielectric layer is strictly based on the Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm). ) ^^^ 1 I m (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Order. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 558796 5. The description of the invention () is the thickest. Generally, the method used is to first form an interlayer oxide layer with a fixed thickness on the substrate, and then use wet dip to remove the gate oxide layer in a specific area on the substrate, and then let the entire substrate 纟Surface-subthermal oxygen: step 'to form gate oxide layers of different thicknesses on the same substrate. If two or more gate oxide layers with different thicknesses are needed, the above steps need to be repeated. But this method is very time-consuming, which takes at least 2 hours, which often becomes the bottleneck of the production line. In addition, the part of the gate where the oxide layer of the gate is isolated by shallow trenches (.Shallow Treneh IsolatiGn; STI) and the active area will also be left uncut, often causing problems such as high electric fields and leakage currents. In addition, the leakage current of the gate oxide layer will increase as the thickness of the gate oxide layer decreases, so that circuit components will consume a large amount of power when they are in standby, making the product unable to meet the needs of commercial use. Therefore, the purpose of this development is to provide a method for forming a closed dielectric layer with various thicknesses on a wafer to solve the problem of damage to the trench structure. Effective oxygen :: = Another purpose is to provide a method for forming multiple isoelectric layers on the wafer to reduce leakage current caused by shallow trench isolation structures. In order to reduce the leakage of the gate dielectric layer, it is necessary to provide a method for forming multiple gate dielectric layers on the wafer to reduce the leakage of the gate dielectric layer. ^ IiTiii ^ NS) A4 ^ (2iGx297_ V. The description of the invention () flow. It is very clear that the above purpose of the present invention, the equivalent oxide layer thickness of the free oxide layer method. Crystal = a variety of open oxide layers with thickness, the gate oxide layer has at least; Region and the fourth region. &Quot; Or, the fourth-thickness to the first-thickness of the gate oxide layer of the four-region: the oxide layer is moderate with the first ion between the first-region and the fourth region. Finally, the plant In the example of the nitrogen gate, there are two ways to reduce the third area and the first area: the thickness to the second thickness. There are two ways. Formed by the thermal oxidation method-a new gate oxide layer: thick :: 会 略-: As stated in the 'Because rat ions are introduced in the first region and the fourth region, the equivalent oxide layer thickness will be the same. = Applying the method of the present invention, a gate oxide layer of at least four two and = thallium oxide can be formed on the same-wafer. In addition to oxygen = low at night, and lice ions are implanted in the gate oxide layer, so conventional problems can be satisfactorily solved. According to the above purpose of the present invention, another _ equivalent oxide layer thickness is proposed The method of the time and electricity layer. First, print the 558796 A7 B7, the invention description (the step of implanting nitrogen ions into the substrate. The _ metal oxide layer is sequentially formed on the substrate. In which, the material of the metal oxide layer: I is emulsified or oxidized. Then, the patterned metal oxide layer and the surface of the substrate out of which the circuit breaks out. Then 'form the surface of the substrate where the second gate oxygen will come out'. The dinitrogen ion implantation step implants rat ions into the metal oxide layer and the second gate oxide layer. Finally: :::: degree to increase the metal-according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein the first The nitrogen ion implantation step and the second nitrogen ion implantation step can be implanted with ions using, for example, a remote electrode system or a decoupling plasma. Methods for forming a metal oxide layer include an organic metal chemical vapor deposition method or an atomic layer chemistry Phase deposition method. Therefore, it can be known from the above that the present invention effectively reduces the equivalent oxide thickness of the gate dielectric layer by using a metal oxygen layer having a high dielectric constant, and uses processes such as nitrogen-containing hafnium treatment and tempering. To increase the integrity of the dielectric layer to reduce the occurrence of leakage current. In this way, the equivalent oxide layer thickness of the area with a metal oxide layer on the substrate is different from the area without a metal oxide layer. _Schematic simplicity In order to make the above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment is given below, and the following detailed description is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: Figures 1A-1D are illustrations According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm)

Please refer to Figure 1A for the dielectric layer of the gate, and first form a shallow trench isolation in the shallow ditch, Λ no, shallow trench here: i: The formation method is known to those skilled in this art, here is not More details. Then, the free oxide layers 120, 130, 40, and 150. are formed on the substrate 100 * '' '1, n1CA ^. The formation method is preferably a thermal oxidation method. μ Referring to FIG. 1B, the thickness of the free oxygen # 豆 & There are at least two methods available for this step. Eighty two directly use the money engraving method to remove the gate oxide layers 140 and 150. Second son two: the etching agent may be, for example, about 1 weight percent concentration of hydrofluoric acid. The other is to first remove the gate oxide layers 14 and 15-A ^ A, and then perform the ^-: personal thermal oxidation method to form an interlayer oxide layer on the surface of the substrate, and the oxide layer 120 at the same time. The thickness of 13 ° will also increase slightly.

This can increase the overall dielectric system of the gate oxide layer 120 and 150a. This paper applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21 × 297 mm) 558796 V. Description of the invention () ::. Also = less equivalent oxide thickness. Therefore, the gate oxide layer I. "," The equivalent oxide layer thickness is different. (Please read the precautions on the back before writing this page) Nitriding: layer: effective oxide layer thickness 22, 3: the leakage current of the gate oxide layer is more than The original method should be the method of the above invention. For example, the thickness of the UG, 13G, 14G, and 15G layers in the mA diagram is 50 angstroms. If the thickness of 150a is 20 angstroms, the equivalent oxide thickness of the gate oxide layer 120 in the figure can be reduced to angstrom ', and the equivalent oxide layer of the gate oxide layer 15a can be reduced to 15 angstroms. Therefore, in the 1D diagram, 4. Angstroms, 5. Angstroms, 2. Angstroms, and 15 are formed on the substrate. According to the first embodiment, at least four types can be formed on the same wafer, which have different equivalents. The thickness of the oxide layer is related to the oxide layer. Because the step of removing the plutonium oxide layer is minimized, the corners of the shallow trench isolation and the active area will not be damaged excessively, so the problems of leakage current and strong electric field can be reduced. In addition, nitrogen Ions implanted in the closed oxide layer can reduce the leakage current of idle oxidation sound. 9 For an example, please refer to FIG. 2D, which shows another preferred embodiment of the paper according to the present invention. The paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4. Specifications (21 × 297 Gongcheng) 558796 V. Description of the invention () Example of a cross-sectional view of a manufacturing process formed on a wafer. 4 gate dielectric layer with a thickness of 4 layers (please read the precautions on the back first) Field write this page) = according to Figure M 'first implanted nitrogen ions to the base In the bottom layer, the oxidation rate of the surface layer of 200. The method of planting η emulsifying the substrate in the substrate A, and implanting the lice ions 210 into the substrate 200, preferably using a long-range plasma or a de-lighting plasma.

The gate dielectric layer is then deposited on top of the gate oxide layer 22 and a dielectric constant metal is deposited. Oxidation of plutonium & /, ^ Dagger layer 230. The thickness of the metal oxide layer "ο is about 25 angstroms", and the formation method may be, for example, an organometallic chemical vapor deposition method (metal ^ rgamc chemical vapor dep0siti〇n; m〇cvd) or an atomic layer chemical vapor deposition method. (Atomic chemical vapor depositon; ALCVD). Then, a part of the metal oxide layer and the gate oxide layer 220 are removed by a lithography etching process to expose part of the substrate surface. The method of engraving can be, for example, Dry etching method. The material printed by the consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to belong to the oxide layer 230 is a metal oxide, but it must have thermal stability, for example, it can withstand high temperatures to about 1,000 degrees Celsius for about 30 seconds' so as not to spread to the underlying substrate 200 in the subsequent thermal process, and react with the silicon of the substrate 200 to generate a metal silicide, causing a problem of leakage current. Therefore, a better choice can be, for example, Suzuki Rabbit II West heat is not suitable. Please refer to Figure 2C, and the composition contains g | ammonium (NJJ4〇H).

Here, because the original surface layer of the substrate was nitrided and removed, the thickness of the gate oxide layer 240 grown in this step is thicker. Fig. 2D 'implants nitrogen ions 25 ° into the exposed metal oxide layer 230 and gate oxide layer 24 () again in order to reduce the leakage current of metal oxide layer 230 and gate oxide layer 22 × 24. The method of implanting nitrogen ions in the metal oxide layer 230 and the gate oxide layer is preferably a long-distance electric 1¾ to mix the plasma. Then, a tempering process is performed under helium or nitrogen to increase the metal oxide layer 23 〇, the gate oxide layer 22〇 and the gate oxide's bifurcation 'improves the connection between different layers and & 卩 上 』The condition of the interface between day and day. This tempering process is preferably carried out for about 1 minute at about _ degrees Celsius. In this way, the subsequent manufacturing of circuit components located thereon and integrated integrated circuits can be improved. It can be seen from the second embodiment that the equivalent dielectric layer thickness of the gate dielectric layer is effectively reduced by using a dielectric layer with a high dielectric f-number, and processes such as nitrogen-containing electropolymerization and tempering are used to increase the thickness. The integrity of the dielectric layer is reduced to reduce the occurrence of leakage currents. In this way, a dielectric layer with a high dielectric constant is deposited in the memory region, and the dielectric layer is tempered when the dielectric layer is tempered. The area grows a thin oxide layer of about 7-10 angstroms. 10 (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page)
