甲極氧化物上沈積尚定向的pG〇薄膜,會將PG〇薄膜 積於具有一緩衝層(如鈕或丁丨02)高1<氧化層上。本發明之 去產生PGO薄膜,其係非結晶的並在高溫退火後會出額 軸定向峰值。使用現地氧化而沈積於該緩衝層上的 膜,表現出高c軸定向。使用Zr〇AHf〇2並具有一链緩亂 的本發明之方法’可產生適合於記憶體應用的刚㈣ 裝置。鈕層的最佳厚度係介於2奈米至1〇奈米間,而Μ 與動2的最佳厚度則係介於4奈米至料米間。 =及2為根據本發明之方法在各種溫度下沈積於具有 曰的〜〜及㈣2上之?(}〇薄膜的X射線圖案。對於1 0涛獏,_0薄膜的成核溫度大約為喊,而晶〗 -11- 564502 ⑺ _翻瞒 mm舰⑹二y 生長溫度則大於540°C。因此,兩步退火製程用於在一 Zr〇2 及Hf02高k層上生長高c軸定向的PG〇薄膜,其中在該高k 介電層上會形成一钽缓衝層。在第一步驟中,PGO c軸相位 成核發生於5 10°C的退火過程中,對於c軸相位晶粒生長, 在大約540°C至600°C間退火。使用該技術,會在該鈕緩衝 層上形成一堅固的c轴定向PGO薄膜,其中該緩衝層位於該 高 k Zr02&Hf02層上。 ,
為決定本發明之方法對於製造PG〇MFOS IT電晶體裝置 的適用性,會製造PGO MFOS,其中一個具有钽/Zr02層, 另一個具有钽/Hf02層。圖3及4分別為具有钽/Zr02及Hf〇2 的PGO MFOS結構之記憶體視窗。具有钽/Zr〇2及Hf〇2的 PGO MFOS之記憶體視窗分別為2.2 V及3.5 V,這足以供單 一電晶體記憶體應用。
為決定使用本發明之方法而由電聚#刻引起的損害數量 ,具有Pt/PGO/鈕/Zr02/Si結構的PGO MFOS記憶體單元之上 方電極會使用低功率傳統蝕刻製程及電漿蝕刻製程加以蝕 刻。圖5及6分別為測量的上方電極的電漿蝕刻及上方電極 的傳統低功率蝕刻後測量的具有钽/ΖιΌ2記憶體單元之 PGO MFOS的記憶體視窗。此類圖式說明瞭具有钽/Zr〇2記 憶體單元之PGO MFOS的記憶體視窗在Pt上方電極進行電 漿蝕刻後從2.2 V下降至1.8 V,該電壓仍然足以供單一電晶 體記憶體裝置使用。 總之,藉由使用最佳的MOCVD及新穎的兩步退火製程, 在具有一鈕或Ti02缓衝層的Zr02及1-丨「02上形成高c軸定向 -12- 564502 ⑻ 的PG〇薄膜供單一電晶體記憶體應用;經測量,具有钽/Z:r02 及钽/Hf02的PGO MFOS之記憶體視窗大於2.2V及3.5V,這 足以供單一電晶體記憶體應用;該電漿蝕刻及剝離製程引 起的對沈積於鈕/Zr02及鈕/Hf02上之PGO薄膜的損害會藉 由本發明之方法而減少。
因此,以上已揭露供MFOS單一電晶體記憶體應用的具有 钽缓衝層之高K閘極氧化物的製造方法。應明瞭可對本發明 作進一步的變化及更改,而不致脫離在隨附的申請專利範 圍中定義的本發明之範疇。
