Abstract

An etchant and the application thereof for increasing etching selectivity are disclosed. The etchant comprises phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and soluable silicon (Si) compounds, such as halogen contained Si compounds or halogen contained Si compounds and their derivatives. When the etchant is applied to etch silicon nitride (Si3N4), the soluable Si compounds undergo hydrolysis reaction with water, thereby effectively increasing the etching selectivity of Si3N4 to silicon oxide (SiO2).

Description of the Invention () Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to a family name etchant and its application in improving the etch selectivity (Etchmg Selectivity), in particular to an etchant having a silicon (Si) -containing compound and Its application is to improve the etching selection ratio of silicon nitride (ShN4) disk silicon oxide (Si02). Background of the Invention: In integrated circuits, in order to avoid interference between the operations of transistors, it is necessary to add an isolation structure with electrical isolation between adjacent transistors to prevent latch-up between the transistors. Or short circuit. However, with the trend of miniaturization of the size of semiconductor devices, the accumulation of devices has continued to rise; the size of the isolation structure between devices has become more critical. The goal is that the isolation structure formed by the Shallow Trench Isolation (STI) technology not only has a small size and good flatness, but also has a good electrical isolation effect, which can greatly increase the component density. Therefore, in today's integrated circuit manufacturing processes, shallow trench isolation technology has been widely adopted. Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 for the process profile ® of the conventional shallow trench isolation. When making shallow trench isolation between components, first a silicon oxide layer 102 is covered on the semiconductor substrate 100 as a pad oxide layer, and then a silicon nitride layer is covered on the silicon oxide layer 102. ι〇4. Among them, the oxide layer 102 is used to reduce the stress existing between the nitride layer i 0 4 and the substrate 1 |, and the nitride layer 104 is used as a shallow trench isolation in subsequent processes. The stop layer of Chemical Meehanical I PoIishing (CMP). Next, cover a layer of photoresist layer 106 to the Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 574351 A 7 __ B7 at this paper scale V. Description of the invention () (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The silicon layer 104 is etched, and the photoresist layer io6 is patterned by a lithography process, and a part of the silicon nitride layer 104 is exposed. The patterned photoresist layer 10 is used as an etching mask to etch the exposed silicon nitride layer 104 and the underlying silicon oxide layer 102 and the substrate 100 to remove part of the nitrogen. The siliconized layer 104, a portion of the silicon oxide layer 102, and a portion of the substrate 100 are formed, and a shallow trench isolation opening 108 is formed in the silicon nitride layer 104, the silicon oxide layer 102, and the substrate 100. The resulting structure is shown in Figure 1. After the opening is formed, the remaining photoresist layer 106 is removed to expose the silicon nitride layer 104. A further layer of silicon oxide is formed on the substrate 100, silicon oxide layer 102, and silicon nitride layer 104 exposed by the opening 108, and the opening 108 is filled to form a layer as shown in FIG. 2 The structure shown. Then, referring to FIG. 3, using the chemical mechanical polishing method, and using the silicon nitride layer 104 as the polishing end point, the stone oxide layer 110 on the silicon nitride layer 104 is removed, and the opening 108 is left. The silicon oxide layer 11 is formed in the silicon oxide layer 11 to form a shallow trench isolation structure 1 12. After the polishing step is completed, the silicon nitride layer 104 is removed by using a hot phosphoric acid (Phosphoric Acid; H3P04) as an etchant, and the silicon oxide layer 102 is exposed. However, while the silicon nitride layer 1 0 4 is being etched with hot phosphoric acid, the hot phosphoric acid will also attack the silicon oxide layer 102, and the thickness of the stone oxide layer i 0 2 will be changed accordingly. Uneven thickness. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs In order to ensure the reliability of subsequent ion implantation, the silicon oxide layer 102 with uneven thickness must be removed to expose the substrate 100. A silicon oxide layer 114 is formed on the exposed substrate 100 to serve as a sacrificial oxide layer in the ion implantation step. However, when removing the silicon oxide layer, the paper size of the paper is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm) A7.

Description of the invention (The thickness of the invention can be effectively maintained. In addition, Cong, &, *.,-Can also prevent silicon oxide and the shallow trench isolation structure 2 i 2 from being damaged by the etchant. Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page.) In addition, the thickness of the silicon oxide layer 202 can be effectively improved because the thickness of the oxidized stone layer 202 can be improved. In this way, the oxide: layer 202 can It can be directly used as a sacrificial oxide layer, without the need to first remove the oxide dream layer and then form another sacrificial oxide layer. Not only can reduce the burden on the process, but also improve the reliability of the process. The advantage of the present invention is because of the surname of the present invention The etching agent is connected with every 7 compounds containing water-soluble europium, so it can reach Fudangu a ,, and so on. ”The purpose of this article is to introduce the selection ratio of the Dajin Tianyangnan etchant to the etching of silicon nitride and silicon oxide. ^ The present invention Another advantage is that the application of the etchant of the present invention can effectively improve the etching selection ratio between silicon nitride and silicon oxide, so that after the silicon nitride layer is removed, a pad oxide layer with good thickness uniformity can be obtained. An advantage It is because the thickness of the pad oxide layer is maintained, and a separate sacrificial oxide layer is not required to be manufactured, so the process steps can be simplified and the process cost can be reduced. Another advantage of the present invention is that the shallow trenches can be improved because no additional sacrificial oxide layer is required to be manufactured. The quality of the isolation structure achieves the purpose of improving the reliability and yield of the process. The consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs printed it. As understood by those familiar with this technology, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It is not intended to limit the scope of patent application of the present invention; all other equivalent changes or modifications made without departing from the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of patent application below.
