專利文獻1記載有STI之一例。在專利文獻1中,首先,於矽基板之表面形成凹部。其次,將絕緣膜埋置於凹部。接著,蝕刻矽基板之表面。藉此,可使上述絕緣膜之上面位於矽基板的表面之上方。然後,藉由熱氧化於矽基板之表面形成氧化膜。之後,去除氧化膜。接著,藉由熱氧化於矽基板之表面形成閘極絕緣膜。於專利文獻1記載有在上述絕緣膜(凹部)附近氧濃度比其他區域高。又,於專利文獻1記載有閘極絕緣膜之膜厚在凹部附近比其他區域厚。

[用以實施發明之形態]
以下,就實施形態,參照圖式來說明。此外,在所有圖式中,對相同之構成要件附上相同之標號,而適宜省略說明。
(第1實施形態)
圖1係顯示用於第1實施形態之半導體裝置的電晶體TR1之結構的俯視圖。圖2係圖1之A-A'剖面圖。如圖2所示,電晶體TR1係使用基板SUB而形成。具體而言,於基板SUB形成有阱WL1。然後,電晶體TR1係使用阱WL1而形成。如本圖所示,電晶體TR1具有閘極電極GE1、閘極絕緣膜GI1、汲極區域DR1(第1雜質區域)、源極區域SR1(第2雜質區域)、LDD(Lightly-Doped Drain:輕摻雜汲極)區域LD1、LDS(Lightly-Doped Source:輕摻雜源極)區域LS1、及側壁SW1。
參照圖1,就電晶體TR1之俯視配置作說明。在電晶體TR1,汲極(汲極區域DR1)、閘極電極GE1、及源極(源極區域SR1)於第1方向(X1方向)依序排列。又,汲極區域DR1、閘極電極GE1、及源極區域SR1分別在垂直於第1方向(X1方向)之第2方向(Y1方向)延伸。
於基板SUB形成有分離區域IR。如參照圖2在之後所述,分離區域IR為埋置於基板SUB之凹部REC(圖2)的絕緣膜DF(圖2)。換言之,分離區域IR以STI形成。如圖1所示,汲極區域DR1及源極區域SR1以俯視觀之由分離區域IR包圍。此時,如參照圖2在之後所述,於汲極區域DR1與閘極電極GE1之間形成有凹部RD(分離區域IR)。同樣地,於源極區域SR1與閘極電極GE1之間形成有凹部RS(分離區域IR)。
如圖1所示,於汲極區域DR1設有複數接點CT1。該等接點CT1沿著第2方向(Y1方向)配置。於源極區域SR1設有複數接點CT1。該等接點CT1沿著第2方向(Y1方向)配置。
如本圖所示,LDD區域LD1以俯視觀之,內側包含汲極區域DR1。同樣地,LDS區域LS1以俯視觀之,內側包含源極區域SR1。再者,LDD區域LD1之源極區域SR1側的側面進入閘極電極GE1。同樣地,LDS區域LS1之汲極區域DR1側的側面進入閘極電極GE1。
接著,參照圖2,就電晶體TR1之剖面構造作說明。如本圖所示,於阱WL1形成有LDD區域LD1及LDS區域LS1。於LDD區域LD1形成有汲極區域DR1。於LDS區域LS1形成有源極區域SR1。於LDD區域LD1及LDS區域LS1之間形成有閘極絕緣膜GI1。又,凹部RD(第1凹部)位於汲極區域DR1與閘極絕緣膜GI1之間。另一方面,凹部RS(第3凹部)位於源極區域SR1與閘極絕緣膜GI1之間。
此外,LDD區域LD1及LDS區域LS1為具有與阱WL1相反導電型態的區域。又,汲極區域DR1比LDD區域LD1淺且雜質濃度高於LDD區域LD1。同樣地,源極區域SR1比LDS區域LS1淺且雜質濃度高於LDS區域LS1。
於凹部RD埋置有絕緣膜DF(第1絕緣膜)。同樣地,於凹部RS埋置有絕緣膜DF(第2絕緣膜)。絕緣膜DF為例如氧化矽膜。在本圖所示之例中,凹部RD之絕 緣膜DF及凹部RS之絕緣膜DF與閘極絕緣膜GI1一體。又,凹部RD之絕緣膜DF於閘極絕緣膜GI1側之區域具有凹部RD1(第2凹部)。同樣地,凹部RS之絕緣膜DF於閘極絕緣膜GI1側之區域具有凹部RS1(第4凹部)。於凹部RD1及凹部RS1分別埋置有閘極電極GE1之一部份。
閘極電極GE1位於基板SUB上。再者,於閘極電極GE1之側面形成有側壁SW1。此外,閘極電極GE1以例如多晶矽形成。側壁SW1以例如氧化矽膜或氮化矽膜形成。
電晶體TR1以絕緣層IL覆蓋。於絕緣層IL埋置有接點CT1。汲極區域DR1側之接點CT1連接於汲極區域DR1。源極區域SR1側之接點CT1連接於源極區域SR1。
圖3(a)係放大圖2所示之凹部RD的圖。圖3(b)係圖3(a)之α部份的放大圖。如本圖(a)所示,以凹部RD之內側面及基板SUB之表面形成的角(角CR1)位在凹部RD之閘極絕緣膜GI1側。又,如本圖(b)所示,角CR1呈圓形。藉此,可抑制在角CR1之電場集中。
詳細而言,如本圖(a)所示,基板SUB之表面除了角CR1外,其餘位於一直線(第1直線)上。同樣地,凹部RD中閘極絕緣膜GI1側之內側面除了角CR1外,其餘位在一直線(第2直線)上。此時,角CR1便位於上述第1直線及上述第2直線構 成之角的內側。此外,第1直線及第2直線構成之角度為例如90度以上、120度以下。
再者,如本圖(a)所示,閘極絕緣膜GI1及絕緣膜DF形成為一體。又,在凹部RD之閘極絕緣膜GI1側,構成閘極絕緣膜GI1及絕緣膜DF之絕緣膜沿著角CR1形成。藉此,凹部RD1在內側面便具有上述絕緣膜中沿著角CR1形成之部份。
此外,凹部RD之深度(在本圖(a)中,在基板SUB之厚度方向,汲極區域DR1之上面與凹部RD的底面之間的距離)為例如200nm以上、400nm以下。再者,上述第1直線(沿著基板SUB之表面的直線)及上述第2直線(沿著凹部RD之內側面的直線)構成之角度如上述,為例如90度以上120度以下。又,凹部RD之深度及上述角度如上述時,角CR1形成曲率半徑之最小值為例如10nm以上、200nm以下的圓。
圖4(a)係放大圖2所示之凹部RS的圖。圖4(b)係圖4(a)之β部份的放大圖。如本圖(a)所示,以凹部RS之內側面與基板SUB之表面形成的角(角CR2)位在凹部RS之閘極絕緣膜GI1側。又,如本圖(b)所示,角CR2呈圓形。藉此,可抑制在角CR2之電場集中。
詳細而言,如本圖(a)所示,基板SUB之表面除了角CR2外,其餘位於一直線(第3直線)上。同樣地,凹部RS中閘極絕緣膜GI1側之內側面除了角CR2外,其餘 位於一直線(第4直線)上。此時,角CR2便位於上述第3直線及上述第4直線構成之角的內側。此外,第3直線及第4直線構成之角度為例如90度以上、120度以下。
再者,如本圖(a)所示,閘極絕緣膜GI1及絕緣膜DF形成為一體。又,在凹部RS之閘極絕緣膜G11側,構成閘極絕緣GI1及絕緣膜DF之絕緣膜沿著角CR2形成。藉此,凹部RS1於內側面便具有上述絕緣膜中沿著角CR2形成之部份。
此外,凹部RS之深度(在本圖(a)中在基板SUB之厚度方向中源極區域SR1的上面與凹部RD之底面之間的距離)為例如200nm以上、400nm以下。再者,上述第3直線(沿著基板SUB之表面的直線)及上述第4直線(沿著凹部RS之內側面的直線)構成之角如上述為例如90度以上、120度以下。又,凹部RS之深度及上述角度如上述時,角CR2形成曲率半徑之最小值為例如10nm以上、200nm以下的圓。
圖5係顯示圖2之變形例的圖。有時在源極區域SR1與阱WL1之間不要求高耐電壓。此時,如本圖所示,亦可不形成LDS區域LS1(圖2)及凹部RS(圖2)。在本圖所示之例中,閘極絕緣膜GI1之汲極區域DR1側的端部到達汲極區域DR1。
圖6至圖14係顯示圖3所示之半導體裝置之製造方法的剖面圖。首先,如圖2所示,於基板SUB形成阱WL1。接著,於阱WL1形成LDD區域LD1及LDS區域LS1。
接著,如圖6所示,於基板SUB上依序層積氧化膜OX1(例如氧化矽膜)、氮化膜NT1(例如氮化矽膜)(第1絕緣膜)、防反射膜ARC、及遮罩膜MK1。然後,以微影方式,於遮罩膜MK1形成開口OP1。
之後,如圖7所示,將遮罩膜MK1作為遮罩,蝕刻氮化膜NT1、氧化膜OX1、及基板SUB。藉此,於氮化膜NT1及氧化膜OX1形成開口OP2。進一步,藉由開口OP2於基板SUB形成凹部RD。然後,去除遮罩膜MK1及防反射膜ARC。
接著,如圖8所示,於基板SUB上及氮化膜NT1上形成絕緣膜DF(例如氧化矽膜)(第2絕緣膜)。藉此,以絕緣膜DF埋置凹部RD及開口OP2。進一步,於氮化膜NT1上形成絕緣膜DF。此外,絕緣膜DF藉由例如CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition:化學氣相沉積)形成。
然後,如圖9所示,去除絕緣膜DF之表層。藉此,可去除氮化膜NT1上之絕緣膜DF。絕緣膜DF之去除使用例如CMP(Chemical Mechanical Polishing:化學機械研磨)。
接著,如圖10所示,進一步去除絕緣膜DF之表層。藉此,可使絕緣膜DF之上面的高度低於氮化膜NT1之上面的高度。再者,在本圖所示之例中,絕緣膜DF之上面的高度高於基板SUB之表面。此外,絕緣膜DF之去除使用例如濕式蝕刻。
接著,如圖11所示,於絕緣膜DF上及氮化膜NT1上形成氮化膜NT2(例如氮化矽膜)(第3絕緣膜)。此時,如本圖所示,氮化膜NT2在與凹部RD重疊之區域具有凹部RE1。此是因絕緣膜DF之上面低於氮化膜NT1的上面之故。此時,於絕緣膜DF之上面與氮化膜NT1的上面之間產生階差。藉此階差,於氮化膜NT2之上面如上述形成凹部RE1。此外,凹部RE1之深度為例如10nm以上、100nm以下。
然後,如圖12所示,於氮化膜NT2上形成遮罩膜MK2。此時,遮罩膜MK2覆蓋「以俯視觀之,內側包含凹部RE1之一部份的區域(第1區域RG1)」。換言之,遮罩膜MK2未覆蓋「以俯視觀之,內側包含凹部RE1之剩餘部份的區域(第2區域RG2)」。此時,第2區域RG2為在之後的步驟中形成閘極絕緣膜GI1(圖3)之區域。
接著,如圖13所示,將遮罩膜MK2作為遮罩,蝕刻氮化膜NT2、氮化膜NT1、氧化膜OX1、及絕緣膜DF。藉此,在第2區域RG2中,去除氮化膜NT2、氮化膜NT1、及氧化膜OX1。進一步,在第2區域RG2中,使絕緣膜DF之上面位於凹部RD之上端的下方。此時,在第2區域RG2中,去除基板SUB之一部份。此時,如之後細節所述,在第2區域RG2中,以凹部RD之內側面及基板SUB的表面形成之角(角CR1)呈圓形。之後,去除遮罩膜MK2。
就角CR1呈圓形之理由作說明。如圖12所示,於氮化膜NT2之上面因凹部RE1而產生階差。又,在圖12及圖13所示之例中,基板SUB之厚度方向的蝕刻在任一區域皆大致均一地進行。此時,氮化膜NT2之上述階差的形狀會轉印於基板SUB之表面。藉此,角CR1呈圓形。
然後,如圖14所示,在第1區域RG1仍殘留氮化膜NT2之狀態下,在第2區域RG2,藉例如熱氧化,於基板SUB形成氧化膜OX2。氧化膜OX2係作為閘極絕緣膜GI1的絕緣膜。此時,於凹部RD之絕緣膜DF形成側面具有氧化膜OX2(閘極絕緣膜GI2)之凹部(凹部RD1)。接著,形成閘極電極GE1及側壁SW1。藉此,可製造圖3所示之半導體裝置。
圖15至圖19係顯示比較例之半導體裝置之製造方法的剖面圖。比較例除了以下點外,其餘與本實施形態相同。首先,在比較例中,與本實施形態同樣地,實施圖6至圖9所示之步驟。
接著,如圖15所示,去除氮化膜NT1(圖9)。藉此,絕緣膜DF之上面得以位於氧化膜OX1(基板SUB)之上面的上方。
然後,如圖16所示,於氧化膜OX1(基板SUB)上及絕緣膜DF上形成氮化膜NT2。此時,如本圖所示,氮化膜NT2之上面在凹部RD上具有凸部CON。此係因絕緣膜DF之上面低於氧化膜OX1(基板SUB)的上面之故。此時,於絕緣膜DF之上面與氧化膜OX1(基板SUB)的上面之間產生階差。又,藉此階差而於氮化膜NT2之上面如上述形成凸部CON。
接著,如圖17所示,在氮化膜NT2上形成遮罩膜MK2。此時,遮罩膜MK2覆蓋「以俯視觀之,內側包含凹部RD之一部份的區域(第1區域RG1)」。換言之, 遮罩膜MK2未覆蓋「以俯視觀之,內側包含凹部RD之剩餘部份的區域(第2區域RG2)」。此時,第2區域RG2係在之後的步驟形成閘極絕緣GI1(圖3)之區域。
然後,如圖18所示,將遮罩膜MK2作為遮罩,來蝕刻氮化膜NT2、氧化膜OX1及絕緣膜DF。藉此,在第2區域RG2,可去除氮化膜NT2及氧化膜OX1。進一步,在第2區域RG2中,使絕緣膜DF之上面位於凹部RD之上端的下方。此時,在第2區域RG2,去除基板SUB之一部份。此時,如之後細節所述,在第2區域RG2,於「以凹部RD之內側面與基板SUB的表面形成之角(角CR1)」會形成突出部PRO。突出部PRO從基板SUB之表面往上突出。接著,去除遮罩膜MK2。
就形成突出部PRO之理由作說明。如圖17所示,於氮化膜NT2之上面因凸部CON而產生階差。在圖17及圖18所示之例中,基板SUB之厚度方向的蝕刻在任一區域皆大致均一地進行。又,如圖17所示,氮化膜NT2之形成有上述階差的部份之膜厚(基板SUB之厚度方向的厚度)比其他部份之膜厚(基板SUB之厚度方向的厚度)厚。此時,「形成有上述階差之區域」的蝕刻比剩餘區域之蝕刻晚到達基板SUB。因此,在「形成有上述階差之區域」與剩餘區域之間,基板SUB之蝕刻量產生差異。結果,形成突出部PRO。
然後,如圖19所示,在第1區域RG1仍殘留氮化膜NT2之狀態下,在第2區域RG2,藉由例如熱氧化,於基板SUB形成氧化膜OX2。氧化膜X2係作為閘極絕緣膜GI1之絕緣膜。此時,於基板SUB之表面殘留有突出部PRO。此種突出部PRO可能為電場集中之原因。
對比本實施形態(圖6~圖14)與比較例(圖15至圖19)。在本實施形態中,如圖11所示,氮化膜NT2之上面在凹部RD上具有凹部RE1。又,如上述,以凹部RD之內側面及基板SUB之表面形成的角(角CR1)因凹部RE1而呈圓形(圖13)。相對於此,在比較例中,如圖16所示,氮化膜NT2之上面在凹部RD上具有凸部CON。又,如上述,角CR1因凸部CON而具有突出部PRO(圖18)。從此對比可明瞭,角CR1呈圓形或具有突出部PRO係根據氮化膜NT2之上面的形狀決定。
再者,如上述,在本實施形態中,如圖13所示,角CR1呈圓形。藉此,在本實施形態中,可抑制在角CR1之電場集中。相對於此,在比較例中,如圖18所示,角CR1具有突出部PRO。因此在比較例中,突出部PRO可能為電場集中之原因。從此對比可明瞭,在本實施形態,比起比較例,更可抑制在角CR1之電場集中。
以上,根據本實施形態,以凹部RD之內側面及基板SUB之表面形成的角(角CR1)呈圓形。藉此,可有效地抑制在角CR1之電場集中。
圖20至圖25係顯示圖6至圖14所示之方法的變形例之圖。本變形例除了以下之點外,其餘與本實施形態相同。首先,在本變形例中,與本實施形態同樣地,實施圖6至圖9所示之步驟。
接著,如圖20所示,進一步去除絕緣膜DF之表層。藉此,可使絕緣膜DF之上面的高度低於凹部RD之上端的高度。此外,絕緣膜DF之去除使用例如濕式蝕刻。
然後,如圖21所示,去除氮化膜NT1(圖20)。
之後,如圖22所示,於氧化膜OX1(基板SUB)上及絕緣膜DF上形成氮化膜NT2(第3絕緣膜)。此時,如本圖所示,氮化膜NT2在與凹部RD重疊之區域具有凹部RE1。此係因絕緣膜DF之上面低於氧化膜OX1(基板SUB)的上面之故。此時,於絕緣膜DF之上面與氧化膜OX1(基板SUB)的上面之間產生階差。又,藉此階差,而於氮化膜NT2之上面如上述形成凹部RE1。
接著,如圖23所示,於氮化膜NT2上形成遮罩膜MK2。此時,遮罩膜MK2覆蓋「以俯視觀之,內側包含凹部RE1之一部份的區域(第1區域RG1)」。換言之,遮罩膜MK2未覆蓋「以俯視觀之,內側具有凹部RE1之剩餘部份的區域(第2區域RG2)」。此時,第2區域RG2為在之後的步驟形成閘極絕緣膜GI1(圖3)之區域。
然後,如圖24所示,將遮罩膜MK2作為遮罩,來蝕刻氮化膜NT2、氧化膜OX1及絕緣膜DF。藉此,在第2區域RG2,可去除氮化膜NT2及氧化膜OX1。進一步,在第2區域RG2,使絕緣膜DF之上面位於凹部RD的上端之下方。此時,在第2區域RG2中,去除基板SUB之一部份。又,此時,與本實施形態(例如圖13) 同樣地,在第2區域RG2,以凹部RD之內側面與基板SUB之表面形成的角(角CR1)呈圓形。接著,去除遮罩膜MK2。
接著,如圖25所示,在第1區域RG1仍殘留氮化膜NT2之狀態下,在第2區域RG2中,藉例如熱氧化於基板SUB形成氧化膜OX2。氧化膜OX2係作為閘極絕緣膜GI1之絕緣膜。此時,於凹部RD之絕緣膜DF形成「側面具有氧化膜OX2(閘極絕緣膜GI2)之凹部(凹部RD1)」。
在本變形例中,也與本實施形態同樣地,以凹部RD之內側面及基板SUB之表面形成的角(角CR1)呈圓形。藉此,可有效地抑制在角CR1之電場集中。
(第2實施形態)
圖26係顯示第2實施形態之半導體裝置的結構之俯視圖。本實施形態之半導體裝置除了以下之點外,其餘為與第1實施形態之半導體裝置相同的結構。
在本圖所示之例中,半導體裝置為LCD(Liquid Crystal Display:液晶顯示器)驅動器。詳細言之,如本圖所示,半導體裝置於同一基板SUB具有類比區域ANR及數位區域DGR。基板SUB為半導體基板,為例如矽基板或SOI(Silicon On Insulator:矽絕緣體)基板。又,基板SUB之俯視形狀為矩形。類比區域ANR及數位區域DGR於上述矩形之長向彼此對向。此外,半導體裝置之俯視配置並不限本圖所示之例。
類比區域ANR包含類比電路ANC(第1電路)。數位區域DGR包含數位電路DGC(第2電路)。類比電路ANC之電源電位為第1電壓。數位電路DGC之電源電位為第2電壓。第2電壓低於第1電壓。舉例而言,第1電壓約10V,第2電壓則約1V。類比電路ANC係例如生成用以驅動LCD之電壓的電路。數位電路DGC為例如邏輯電路。
圖27係顯示電晶體TR1之結構及電晶體TR2的結構之剖面圖。圖28係顯示電晶體TR2之結構的俯視圖。圖27所示之類比區域ANR對應圖2。圖27所示之數位區域DGR對應圖28之B-B'剖面。
在本實施形態中,電晶體TR1構成圖26所示之類比電路ANC。電晶體TR2構成圖26所示之數位電路DGC。如圖27所示,電晶體TR1及電晶體TR2係使用同一基板SUB形成。此外,本實施形態之電晶體TR1係與第1實施形態之電晶體TR1相同的結構。
如圖27所示,基板SUB於數位區域DGR具有阱WL2。電晶體TR2係使用阱WL2形成。電晶體TR2具有閘極電極GE2、閘極絕緣膜GI2、汲極區域DR2、源極區域SR2、LDD區域LD2、LDS區域LS2、及側壁SW2。
參照圖28,就電晶體TR2之俯視配置作說明。在電晶體TR2,汲極(汲極區域DR2)、閘極電極GE2、及源極(源極區域SR2)於第3方向(X2方向)依序排列。又,汲極區域DR2、閘極電極GE2、及源極區域SR2分別在垂直於第3方向之第4方向 (Y2方向)延伸。此外,第3方向(X2方向)及第4方向(Y2)可分別與第1方向(X1方向)及第2方向(Y1方向)(圖1)相同,或者,亦可分別與第1方向(X1方向)及第2方向(Y1方向)(圖1)不同。
如上述,於基板SUB形成有分離區域IR。如本圖所示,汲極區域DR2及源極區域SR2由分離區域IR規定。此外,在本圖所示之例中,未於汲極區域DR2與源極區域SR2之間形成分離區域IR。LDD區域LD2、閘極電極GE2及LDS區域LS2位於汲極區域DR2與源極區域SR2之間。
於汲極區域DR2設有複數接點CT2。該等接點CT2沿著第4方向(Y2方向)配置。於源極區域SR2設有複數接點CT2。該等接點CT2沿著第4方向(Y2方向)配置。
接著,參照圖27,就電晶體TR2之剖面構造作說明。如本圖所示,電晶體TR2於基板SUB上具有閘極電極GE2,基板SUB(阱WL2)具有汲極區域DR2及源極區域SR2。
如本圖所示,LDD區域LD2位於閘極電極GE2與汲極區域DR2之間。LDD區域LD2係具有與阱WL2相反導電型態的區域,且雜質濃度低於汲極區域DR2。同樣地,LDS區域LS2位於閘極電極GE2與源極區域SR2之間。LDS區域LS2為具有與阱WL2相反導電型態的區域,且雜質濃度低於源極區域SR2。
閘極絕緣膜GI2位於基板SUB與閘極電極GE2之間。在本實施形態中,閘極絕緣膜GI2為例如與閘極絕緣膜GI1相同種類之絕緣膜(例如氧化矽膜)。又,閘極絕緣膜GI2之膜厚T2薄於閘極絕緣膜GI1之膜厚T1。此係因數位電路DGC之電源電位(第2電壓)如上述低於類比電路ANC的電源電壓(第1電壓)之故。換言之,電晶體TR2(構成數位電路DGC之電晶體)的耐電壓亦可低於電晶體TR1(構成類比電路ANC之電晶體)的耐電壓。藉此,可使閘極絕緣膜GI2之膜厚T2薄於閘極絕緣膜GI1之膜厚T1。
再者,在本圖所示之例中,第3方向(X2方向)之閘極電極GE2的長度L2短於第1方向(X1)方向之閘極電極GE1的長度L1。此與上述同樣地係因電晶體TR2之耐電壓低於電晶體TR1之耐電壓之故。藉此,可使閘極電極GE2之長度L2低於閘極電極GE1之長度L1。
與電晶體TR1同樣地,電晶體TR2以絕緣層IL覆蓋。於絕緣層IL埋置有接點CT2。汲極區域DR2側之接點CT2連接於汲極區域DR2。源極區域SR2側之接點CT2連接於源極區域SR2。
圖29至圖39係顯示圖27所示之半導體裝置之製造方法的剖面圖。首先,如圖29所示,於基板SUB形成阱WL1、WL2。接著,於阱WL1形成LDD區域LD1及LDS區域LS1。然後,於基板SUB上依序層積氧化膜OX1(例如氧化矽膜)、氮化膜NT1、防反射膜ARC、及遮罩膜MK1。之後,以微影方式於遮罩膜MK1形成開口OP1。
接著,如圖30所示,將遮罩膜MK1作為遮罩,來蝕刻氮化膜NT1、氧化膜OX1、及基板SUB。藉此,於氮化膜NT1及氧化膜OX1形成開口OP1。進一步,藉由開口OP2於基板SUB形成凹部REC。此時,凹部REC於類比區域ANR包含凹部RD、RS。然後,去除遮罩膜MK1及防反射膜ARC。
之後,如圖31所示,於基板SUB上及氮化膜NT1上形成絕緣膜DF。藉此,以絕緣膜DF埋置凹部REC及開口OP2。進一步,於氮化膜NT1上形成絕緣膜DF。此外,絕緣膜DF藉由例如CVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition:化學氣相沉積)形成。
接著,如圖32所示,去除絕緣膜DF之表層。藉此,可去除氮化膜NT1上之絕緣膜DF。絕緣膜DF之去除使用例如CMP(Chemical Mechanical Polishing:化學機械研磨)。
然後,如圖33所示,進一步去除絕緣膜DF之表層。藉此,可使絕緣膜DF之上面的高度低於氮化膜NT1之上面的高度。再者,在本圖所示之例中,絕緣膜DF之上面的高度高於基板SUB之表面。此外,絕緣膜DF之去除使用例如濕式蝕刻。
之後,如圖34所示,於絕緣膜DF上及氮化膜NT1上形成氮化膜NT2。此時,與第1實施形態(圖11)同樣地,如本圖所示,氮化膜NT2在與凹部REC重疊之區域具有凹部RE1。
接著,如圖35所示,於氮化膜NT2上形成遮罩膜MK2。遮罩膜MK2於第2區域RG2具有開口OP3。第2區域RG2係在之後的步驟形成閘極絕緣膜GI1(圖27)之區域。遮罩膜MK2在第2區域RG2以外之區域(第1區域RG1)覆蓋氮化膜NT2。
之後,如圖36所示,將遮罩膜MK2作為遮罩,來蝕刻氮化膜NT2、氮化膜NT1、氧化膜OX1、及絕緣膜DF。藉此,在第2區域RG2,去除氮化膜NT2、氮化膜NT1及氧化膜OX1。進一步,在第2區域RG2,使絕緣膜DF之上面位於凹部REC之上端的下方。此時,在第2區域RG2,去除基板SUB之一部份。此時,與第1實施形態(例如圖13)同樣地,在第2區域RG2,以凹部REC之內側面及基板SUB之表面形成的角(角CR1、CR2)呈圓形。接著,去除遮罩膜MK2。
在本圖所示之步驟中,數位區域DGR之基板SUB以氮化膜NT2覆蓋。因此,在本圖所示之步驟中,無法去除數位區域DGR之絕緣膜DF的上面。因此,如圖27所示,數位區域DGR之絕緣膜DF的上面得以位於凹部RD1之底面及凹部RS1的底面之上方。
然後,如圖37所示,在第1區域RG1仍殘留氮化膜NT2之狀態下,在第2區域RG2藉由例如熱氧化於基板SUB形成氧化膜OX2。氧化膜OX2係作為閘極絕緣膜GI1之絕緣膜。此時,於凹部RD、RS之絕緣膜DF分別形成「側面具有氧化膜OX2(閘極絕緣膜GI2)的凹部RD1、RS1」。
之後,如圖38所示,去除氮化膜NT2、氮化膜NT1及氧化膜OX1。接著,藉由例如熱氧化於基板SUB形成氧化膜OX3。氧化膜OX3係作為閘極絕緣膜GI2(圖27)之絕緣膜。然後,於基板SUB上形成導電膜GE。導電膜GE係作為閘極電極GE1、GE2(圖27)之導電膜(例如多晶矽膜)。
之後,如圖39所示,將導電膜GE及氧化膜OX3(圖39)圖案化。藉此,形成閘極電極GE1、GE2及閘極絕緣膜GI2。接著,於數位區域DGR形成LDD區域LD2及LDS區域LS2。然後,於基板SUB上形成作為側壁SW1、SW2之絕緣膜。之後,蝕刻此絕緣膜。藉此,可形成側壁SW1、SW2。然後,形成汲極區域DR1及源極區域SR1以及汲極區域DR2及源極區域SR2。接著,於基板SUB上形成絕緣層IL。之後,將接點CT1、CT2埋置於絕緣層IL。如此進行,可製造圖27所示之半導體裝置。
在本實施形態,亦可獲得與第1實施形態相同之效果。
以上,依據實施形態,具體地說明了由本案發明人所作之發明,本發明不限於前述實施形態,可在不脫離其要旨之範圍進行各種變更是無須贅言的。
