Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] Priority Claim The present invention is based on the filing date of January 1, 2005, and the application number is 60/686,787 » rTungsten Silicide Etch Process With ?e'uced Etch Rate Micro- The provisional application of "loading" claims priority, and the entire contents of the special application of the 5th Xuan are included here for reference. [Prior Art] A material layer is deposited on a surface of a substrate (e.g., a semiconductor crystal glass plate) or a material layer is etched from a surface of a board in a semiconductor device (e.g., an integrated circuit or a flat panel display). As is well known in the art, we can achieve deposition of material layers and etching of material layers by various techniques, including plasma enhanced deposition and _. In the plasma enhanced deposition or _, the substrate subtraction moment is actually generated inside the plasma processing chamber. In the deposition or side treatment, a suitable source gas is formed to deposit a layer of material onto the substrate, or the side substrate is not protected by the residual mask and leaves the desired pattern. ^In the industry, the use of Jinhua Huayu to raise the low-energy limit intra-recorded roads to create dense, high-efficiency devices. - The structure is a polycrystalline metal stone of the M〇s transistor. It comprises a refractory metal such as 'WS2, TiSi2, M〇Si2 or TaSi2 on the upper portion of the doped polycrystalline layer. In an exemplary process, such a structure reduces the interconnect resistance to a small = 15-30 ohms/square by having doping but no impurity > | (tetra) crystal 7. When the minimum number of dimensions is reduced by (four), the internal resistance increases. For technologies having a minimum number of sub-micrometers of about a half micron, the introduction of a refractory metal multi-telluride treatment greatly reduces the resistance of the interconnect within the gate. In the smallest number of 'Shi Xihua's low sheet resistance and thermal stability, it becomes the choice of metal: 4 The current pie metal is treated with a problem of heavy rate. The etch rate of tungsten telluride in the isolated feature (iS0 atedfeature) is higher than that of the sign. Due to the serious degree of micro-loading, 'we need to have a longer time to practice the temple ^ 6 1338726 [invention] = for: species; there is a reduced rate of micro-load effect of the modified Shi Xihua crane = _ rational. It should be noted that the invention is practiced differently. Several inventive embodiments of the invention are set forth below. The U is provided with an etching method for forming a layer on the substrate. The layer is formed thereon and a patterned mask is disposed on the metal dimerization f. The method also includes supplying a side gas mixture comprising a body, a gas containing gas, a money gas, and an oxygen-containing gas to the electrical processing chamber, the ratio of the fluorinated gas being from about 5 to about 15. In addition, in the method package, each of the method uses a mixed gas source to generate a plasma in the electrical processing chamber, and the butterfly is not subjected to a metal-lithium layer of the towel, which is defined by the mask. Out of the dense area and the isolated area, the generated electric f system is used to reduce the eclipse and the eclipse layer in the stagnation area. V ^

On the top of the oxide layer 11G is a multi-secret H above the Weihe layer 13°. The hard mask layer is, for example, 匕3 - rolled ruthenium, tantalum nitride, amorphous carbon or the like. A J==:;=r micro-load is: ... and the e-domain with isolated features is different from the one. For some Weihe_ treatments, the etching rate of Shihuahua tungsten (WS!X, X~2) in the isolated region is much larger than the etching rate in the dense region. n Figures 2A and 2β show that in the dense feature area (Fig. 2A) and in the isolated feature area, the severity of the H-load effect from H can be calculated by ^1 compared to the following method: · Equation in the self-isolated area Ai shows the thickness of two Y yue and er f _ Weizhen. mVA^A % «=(Hi-Hd)/((Hi+Hd)/2)xl00% ’ ^We know that the micro load can be as high as possible. In the isolated feature area (Fig. 2B), the occupational surface (4) is more open and bareer than the money engraving 8 = the part of the school is larger. On the contrary, the area between the features that can be touched by the product is A = set (j2), and the etching rate in the chemically dense region of the silver engraving is relatively smaller than that of the ^ ^ 立 = area 4. Therefore, the difference in the rate of money is caused by The _ rate of the micro ^ ^ ^ 立 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 The mother of the Japanese yen is intensively lost. In addition to the gate oxide layer being penetrated by 2 oxygen to penetrate the effect rate, the width of the tungsten carbide is larger than the width of the remaining tungsten carbide. Between the specialties; = tungsten foot and side residual (four) can affect the _ view and reduce the device to obtain the minimum micro-load effect of Wei Wei _ treatment, in order to eliminate the gate oxide layer party to run through, Shi Xihua crane foot and Residual residue. According to an embodiment, the treatment uses a fluorine-containing gas such as NF3, SF6, Q, a gas-containing gas, a money gas, a pure gas, and a winter "give a selective inert gas such as He, Ar, Ne, Kr or X. The gas radicals from the fluorine-containing gas and the gas radicals from the gas-containing gas provide an etching species that is particularly suitable for etching. When etching WSix, the fluorine radical is more active than the gas radical. According to an embodiment, in etching Gas radicals are required during the process because they help to form an etched polymer to protect the feature sidewalls from fluorine radical etching. The oxygen-containing gas helps dissociate the fluorine-containing gas, the gas-containing gas and the nitrogen-containing gas. In the open area (or isolated feature area), the WSix etch is slowed down. In one example, the flow ratio of the gas-containing gas to the gas-containing gas is between about 〇3 and about 3'. Preferably, the value is between about 0.5 and about 1.5. The ratio of fluorine-containing gas to oxygen-containing gas is between about 1 and 10, preferably between about 5 and about 7. The ratio of nitrogen-containing gas to fluorine-containing gas is between about 5 and about 15. Between the 'better value is between about 6 to 10, 1338726 = good value between 7 han 9. Noisy gas The flow bar G _ (Γ 立方 cubic centimeters per minute) to about see. The total gas mixture flow rate is between about 15 〇 _ ^ about 1 〇〇〇 sccm, and the preferred value is between about 3 〇〇 sccm to about 6 〇. The water temperature is between about 20. (: to about 75 Torr, preferably between about 25% and about 6 Torr. The pressure is between about 3 mTorr and about 15 mTorr. The energy is between about watts and about 1 Torr. The substrate bias is between about 100 volts and about 3 volts. In a particular embodiment, the 'gas-containing gas is NF3, the gas-containing gas is C12, the oxygen-containing gas is 〇2, and the nitrogen-containing gas is N2. No inert gas is used in this mixed gas. K is mainly used to passivate the WSix surface so that it is not susceptible to fluorine etching chemicals. Figure 4A shows the WSix surface on the fluorine side. _ 4B shows some nitrogen passivation (or protection) The surface position of the boundary is not affected by the fluorine. By increasing the A flow rate, most of the W surface position is protected (or passivated) without reacting with the gas radicals. The W surface position between the dense features (or Figure 2A) Compared with the area shown in the figure ~, the characteristic area is as shown in Figure 2B. The area of the lion has a more w surface position. Therefore, the gas mixture towel is added to the etch rate in the isolated (four) (four) unreliable _ self (four) read, (iv) slow isolation special product. The increased nitrogen protection in the isolated feature area compensates for this area due to exposure to The etch rate is increased by etching the chemical. On the one hand, in the dense area, the area Ad between the features (such as the amount of money exposed in the Μ 保护 is less protected, because the rate of reduction at this moment is less than the isolated feature area. However, dense Because of its small area, the characteristic area has less side chemicals than the isolated characteristic area. Therefore, the mixed gas towel increases _ landing reduction or completely removes the side rate micro negative ^ in the real _ towel 'disparity _ method financial tungsten _ rate load y to between about 〇% to about m. In another embodiment, the modified etching method reduces the Shi Xihua crane residual rate load to between about 〇% and about. Figures 5A and 5B show side-by-side scanning electron microscope (SEM) photographs of cross-sectional samples taken from the dense features of the wafer on the side (Figure 5A) and isolated features (Figure SB). In the dense characteristic area of 1338726, the thickness of the Shihuahua crane is about 134 nm. The thickness of the tungsten deposit (Fig. 5A) is about 134 nm. The tungsten residual processing achieves a near-zero money engraving rate microload. Due to the near-zero rate of micro-load processing energy, we have surpassed the name and greatly reduced the gate oxide layer. In addition, please reduce the tungsten foot and etch residue.

The radio frequency (4) power source 624 and the bias voltage source 628 supply energy to generate the plasma 644 and affect the plasma generated in the plasma chamber 6〇4. In one embodiment, the energy supplied by power source 624 is approximately 13.56 MHz. RF power source 624 can be controlled by an energy controller (not shown) and adjusted by an RF matching network (not shown). RF power source 624 provides energy to coil 622 located adjacent to plasma chamber 604. RF transparent window 654 is provided to separate coil 622 from electrical & 604, but to transfer energy from coil 622 to plasma chamber 6〇4. The RF bias power supply 628 is used to supply the Rp signal to the electric chuck 62+6 in the plasma chamber 6〇4 suitable for receiving the substrate 6T7, in the electric raft 62.6 t Fang Yan 4 - Ji 洎 OX: Bias, the substrate 627, such as a semiconductor wafer workpiece or glass plate to be processed: a good bias power supply 628 can be controlled by an energy controller (not shown) and connected by a network (not shown) ) to adjust. The plasma processing reactor includes a gas supply mechanism (not shown), and the mechanism includes a gas source (armage or plural, not shown) to which the gas manifold (not shown) is attached to the etching treatment Appropriate chemicals are required to be supplied to the interior of the plasma chamber 604. A gas discharge pipe 632 is connected to the discharge pump 634 to remove exhaust gas and particles from the plasma chamber 6〇4 and maintain a specific pressure in the chamber of the plasma chamber 604. Temperature controller 680 controls the temperature of heater 682 disposed within chuck 626 by controlling heating power source 684. In the general vocabulary, the substrate etching is achieved by exposing the substrate 627 to the ionized gas component (plasma) in a vacuum environment in the plasma chamber 6〇4. The etching process begins when the gas is delivered into the plasma chamber 6〇4. The reaction gas containing a fluorine-containing gas, a gas-containing gas, an oxygen-containing gas, and an optional inert gas is ionized by the amount of helium gas of the coil 11. A DC bias is induced by the electrode 626 to control the substrate 627 to perform a blasting of the wind and the energy. During the etching process, the plasma and substrate 627 are activated to remove material that is not covered by the mask.
