月說月應敘明’發明所屬之技術領域、先前技術、内容、實施方式及圖式簡單說明) 先前申請參照 本申請案已於2001年11月30曰向美國專利提出申請,專 利申請號為09/997,899。 技術領域 本發明相關於半導體元件。更明確地說,本發明是關於 最小化非平坦性效應之電晶體金屬閘結構。 先前技術 本發明所使用詞彙「高k值材料(high-k material)」或「高 介電常數材料」是指任何介電常數大於二氧化矽之材料。 二氧化矽之介電常數約為3.9。 由於使用薄二氧化矽層,及使用多晶矽為閘電極造成多 晶矽閘之載子空乏等電性問題,因此半導體業界移向使用 向介電常數材料。並使用金屬閘結構以緩和多晶石夕載子空 乏問題。 一種形成電晶體金屬閘結構之方法包含:沉積金屬層在 一閘渠溝(意指一用於後續在該處形成一閘極的渠溝)之内 且沿著圍繞該閘渠溝之絕緣材料的上表面。再使用回蝕或 研磨製程來除去位於閘渠溝之外的金屬層部分。 當使用化學機械研磨(CMP)來除去金屬層時,會沿著半 導體晶圓發生碟形化,而使用回蝕時,圍繞閘渠溝之絕緣 材料會被腐蝕。如此造成了無功能的元件而降低良率。因 此當除去位於閘渠溝之外的金屬層部分時,需要最小化非 平坦性效應之半導體製程。 1251345 圖示簡單說明_ 一本發明以實例方式圖解說明且不限制於附隨的圖示,圖 不中相關的參閱符號對應相關的元件;其中: 圖1描繪根據本發明實施例去除在_更換閘集成中之虛 設閘後之半導體元件的橫截面圖; 圖2描緣根據本發明實施例,沉積問介f及問電極於圖^ 之半導體元件後之圖示; 圖3描繪根據本發明實施例,沉積阻滯層於圖2之半導體 元件後之圖示; 圖4描繪根據本發明實施例,沉積金屬層於圖3之半導體 元件後之圖示; 圖5描繪根據本發明實施例,除去部分金屬層於圖#之半 導體元件後之圖示;及 圖6描繪根據本發明實施例,除去圖5所示之半導體元件 之金屬層、阻滯層、閘電極層及閘介質部分後的圖示。 熟習此項技術者應了解圖中所描繪的元件係基於簡化及 清楚明確’並且不-定依比例繪製。例如,為有助於瞭解 本發明實施例’圖中所描緣的一些元件尺寸可能相對於其 它元件可被放大。 實施方式 形成一控制電極介電層,其緊鄰一控制電極渠溝所有表 面且延伸至該控制電極渠溝範圍外。形成一控制電極層, 其緊鄰該控制電極渠溝中之該控制電極介電層。形成一阻 滯層於該控制電極渠溝内以覆蓋該控制電極介電層。該控 1251345

疊。層間介電層(ILD)20是絕緣材料(如,二氧化矽),並且 包含一絕緣材料堆疊。層間介電層(ILD)20鄰接側壁空間層 之外緣且絕緣於隨後形成之電晶體結構。 如圖2所示’閘介質或控制電極介電層22及閘電極24形成 於閘渠溝19内且沿著層間介電層(1]:1))2〇之上表面,·其形成 方法為化學氣相沉積(C VD)、物理氣相沉積(pVD)、原子層 沉積(ALD)、分子束磊晶成長(MBE)、電鍍、上述方法或類 似方法之組合。然而,閘介質層22及閘電極24並不需要以 相同製程來形成。閘介質層22可為任何介電材料,諸如, 二氧化矽、高k值材料、金屬氮氧矽化物、金屬氧化物、金 屬矽玻璃、或金屬鋁化合物。例如,閘介質層22可為氮化 矽、二氧化矽、Hf02、Zr02、HfSixOy、SiOxNy及類似材料 。典型的閘介質層22約為1〇〜60埃。 閘電極或電流電極24可為金屬氮化物(例如,TiN、TaN 、TiSiN、TaSiN)、導電金屬氧化物(例如,Ir〇、Ru〇)、金 屬鋁氮化物(例如,TixAlyNz)、金屬矽玻璃、金屬氮矽化物 、或任何具有適合的功函數之材料。適合的功函數即為決 疋電晶體所欲得臨界電壓值之材料特性。在實施例中,閘 電極24之厚度低於電晶體閘極長度之半,且大於埃。 如圖3所示,閘介質層22及閘電極24形成之後,阻滯層26 由CVD、PVD、ALD、MBE、電鍍、類似方法、或上述方 法之組合而形成。阻滯層26具導電性,且可為純金屬(例如 ,Ti、Ta、Ag、An、Ir或Ru)、金屬矽玻璃(例如,鈷矽玻 璃或鈦矽玻璃)、或矽。阻滯層26可作為隨後形成之覆層之 1251345
(5) 蝕刻阻滯層及/或研磨阻滯層。阻滯層26可作為披覆材料各 層化學機械研磨(CMP)或物理機械研磨之研磨阻滯層。在 實施例中,阻滯層26為研磨阻滯層,厚度5〇埃且已證實足 夠傳統的CMP設備使用。當作為蝕刻阻滯層時,阻滯層% 可作為彼覆材料各層化學回钱之阻滯層。 如圖4所示,阻滯層26形成之後,傳導層28由cVI)、PVD 、ALD、MBE、電鍍、類似方法、或上述方法之組合而形 成於半導體元件10之上。傳導層28為一低電阻導電材料, 可為金屬(例如,W、A卜An、Cu、Ag或Pt)、金屬矽化物 或矽、類似元素、或金屬之組合。傳導層28需能由阻滯層 26材料藉由研磨或蝕刻而分離出。傳導層28之厚度較阻滯 層26、閘電極24及閘介質層22三層之總厚度還厚。因此, 阻;ητ層26、閘電極24及閘介質層22三層之厚度皆比傳導層 28薄。在實施例中,傳導層28之厚度約為閘渠溝19深度之 兩倍。 如圖5所示,傳導層28形成之後,傳導層28之部分被研磨 或#刻直至阻滯層26露出。藉由此使用對阻滯層26有分離 性之材料之製程而實行。例如,假設傳導層28為鎢且阻滯 層26為鈦,則CMP可使用化合物FeN〇3。用來移除傳導声 2 8材料之化合物,對金屬氮化物或其他閘電極型態之材料 傾向不具分離性。然而,此化合物對阻滯層26露出之材料 具分離性。 如圖6所示,在除去傳導層2 8位於姓刻阻滯層2 6上方之部 分後,一不同之研磨或蝕刻製程用於除去阻滯層26、問電 1251345
(6) 極24及閘介質層22。ILD層20被用為移除所選各層被覆材料 之第二阻滯材料。例如,用CMP移除假設傳導層28,半導 體元件10可轉換至此CMP工具中之不同滚筒。此滾筒具有 不同之研磨漿及墊片以移除與ILD層20具分離性之阻滯層 2 6、閘電極2 4及閘介質層2 2。例如,化合物氫氧化銨可用 於CMP此三層26、24及22。然而,阻滯層26、閘電極24及 閘介質層22之移除並不需要使用相同化合物或在同一製程 階段完成。因此,可使用一種以上製程化合物及階段來移 除26、24及22此三層。 在移除ILD層20上方之閘電極堆疊或控制電極堆疊(包含 ,傳導層28、阻滯層26、閘電極24及閘介質層22)後所產生 的結構即為具最小碟形化或凹陷現象之閘電極堆疊或控制 電極堆疊。。位於半導體基底12之其他區域(未繪出)中之 ILD層20之碟形化亦被最小化半導體基底。優點為,由於碟 形化被最小化而導致良率增加。阻滯層26的存在,容許執 行至少兩階段之研磨或蝕刻製程。由於與沿著晶粒或晶圓 具有良好均勻性之較薄層相比,一般較難研磨或蝕刻一較 厚層,所以藉由阻滯層的阻滯作用及隨後使用獨立製程移 除較薄各層之方式,此移除厚層分離自下覆各薄層之能力 增進了平坦性之控制。 本發明另一優點為,容許閘電極材料之選擇與其研磨或 蝕刻特性無關。因此,本發明提供閘電極材料之選擇性比 不使用阻滯層2 6時的範圍更廣。 在形成-最小化非平坦性電晶體金屬閘後,熟知本技術 !251345 ⑺ Γϋ^ϋϋΐ 者所知悉之傳統附加製程(未繪出)被實行。例如,沉 二ILD材料於圖6所示之結構上,隨後並形成金屬連接。 在前述的規格中,已參考特定實施例來描述本發明。然 而,熟習此項技術者應了解,可進行各種修正及變更而不 會脫離如下文申請專利範圍中提出的本發明範疇。例如, 可將額外層併入閘電極堆疊,諸如擴散或障壁層。因此, 本說明書及圖示可視為說明性而非限定性之意義 類修改皆屬於本發明範疇内。 ’此 …關於特定實施例之利益、其它優點及問題解決方案都已 评述如^。然而’利益、優點、問題解決方案及任何可能 引起利盈、優點、問題解決方案被發現或變成顯著的任何 元素以上都不曾被解釋為任何或所有本申請專利範圍之 重=、需要的、必要的特點或元素。此處所使用之詞彙 包各」(comprises,comprising或相關詞類變化)意圖表示 非限定之涵蓋(尚可能包含未列出之項目)。如此,一製程 、方法、作品或裝置所包含元件之列表並不只包含列出之 兀件;而是可能包含未列出但屬於上述製程、方法、作品 或裝置所固有之元件。 圖式代表符號說明 10 金屬閘結構 19 閘溝槽 22 閘介質 控制電極介電層 24 閘電極 -12- 1251345 ⑻ 26 阻滞層 28 金屬層 傳導層 12 半導體基底 14 源極區 16 没極區 18 側壁空間層 20 層間介電層
