Abstract
Description
本發明是有關於一種蝕刻組成物、使用其的蝕刻方法以及半導體基板產品的製造方法。 The present invention relates to an etching composition, an etching method using the same, and a method of manufacturing a semiconductor substrate product.
積體電路的製造包括多階段的多種加工步驟。於其製造過程中,將多種材料的堆積、微影、蝕刻等重複多次。其中,金屬或金屬化合物的層的蝕刻成為重要的製程。必須對特定金屬進行選擇性蝕刻,且不腐蝕其他材料地使之殘存。要求以使包含類似金屬種類的多種層中的特定層、或腐蝕性更高的層殘留的形態來僅去除既定材料的層。半導體基板內的配線或積體電路的尺寸逐漸變小,在不會將應殘留的層(材料)腐蝕的情況下準確地進行蝕刻的重要性提高。 The manufacturing of integrated circuits includes multiple processing steps in multiple stages. In its manufacturing process, the accumulation, lithography, etching, etc. of multiple materials are repeated multiple times. Among them, the etching of the metal or metal compound layer becomes an important process. Certain metals must be selectively etched and remain without corroding other materials. It is required to remove only a layer of a predetermined material in a form in which a specific layer of a plurality of layers containing similar metal species, or a layer with a higher corrosivity remains. The size of the wiring or integrated circuit in the semiconductor substrate gradually becomes smaller, and the importance of accurately etching without corroding the layer (material) that should remain is increased.
若以場效電晶體(field effect transistor)為例來看,則伴隨其急速的微細化,強烈要求形成於源極.汲極區域的上表面的矽化物層的薄膜化或新穎材料的開發。 Taking the field effect transistor as an example, with its rapid miniaturization, it is strongly required to be formed at the source. The thinning of the silicide layer on the upper surface of the drain region or the development of novel materials.
於形成矽化物層的自對準矽化(Salicide:Self-Aligned Silicide)製程中,對形成於半導體基板上的包含矽等的源極區域及汲極區域的一部分以及附著於其上表面的金屬層進行退火。關於金屬層,應用鎢(W)、鈦(Ti)、鈷(Co)等,最近採用鎳(Ni)。藉此,可於源極.汲極電極等的上側形成低電阻的矽化物層。為了進一步的微細化,亦提出有形成添加有作為貴金屬的鉑(Pt)的NiPt矽化物層。 In the salicide (Self-Aligned Silicide) process for forming the silicide layer, a part of the source and drain regions including silicon and the like formed on the semiconductor substrate and the metal layer attached to the upper surface Perform annealing. For the metal layer, tungsten (W), titanium (Ti), cobalt (Co), etc. are used, and nickel (Ni) has recently been used. By this, can be at the source. A low-resistance silicide layer is formed on the upper side of the drain electrode and the like. For further miniaturization, it has also been proposed to form a NiPt silicide layer added with platinum (Pt) as a precious metal.
於自對準矽化步驟後,藉由蝕刻將其中殘留的金屬層去除。該蝕刻通常藉由濕式蝕刻來進行,應用鹽酸與硝酸的混合液(王水)作為其化學液。專利文獻1揭示有使用除了硝酸及鹽酸以外還添加有甲苯磺酸的化學液的例子。 After the self-aligned silicidation step, the remaining metal layer is removed by etching. This etching is usually carried out by wet etching, and a mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid (aqua regia) is used as its chemical solution. Patent Document 1 discloses an example of using a chemical liquid to which toluenesulfonic acid is added in addition to nitric acid and hydrochloric acid.
作為電晶體的通道層的材料變化,為了提高電晶體的電子輸送特性即移動度而進行材料研究。p型金屬氧化物半導體(p-metal oxide semiconductor,pMOS)中,被認為有前途的是Ge的應用,n型金屬氧化物半導體(n-metal oxide semiconductor,pMOS)中,提出有被稱為III-V族的InGa、InGaAs、InAlAs、InP、GaP、InSb等的應用(例如參照非專利文獻1)。 As the material of the channel layer of the transistor changes, materials are studied in order to improve the electron transport characteristics of the transistor, that is, the mobility.

[蝕刻步驟] [Etching step]
圖1(a)、(b)及(c)是表示蝕刻前後的半導體基板的圖。本實施形態的製造例中,於含有包含In、Al、Ga、Sb及As中的 至少一種的第一材料的半導體層(第一層)2的上表面配置有金屬層(第二層)1。 1(a), (b) and (c) are diagrams showing semiconductor substrates before and after etching. In the manufacturing example of this embodiment, the product containing In, Al, Ga, Sb, and As A metal layer (second layer) 1 is arranged on the upper surface of the semiconductor layer (first layer) 2 of at least one first material.
半導體層(第一層)2可列舉源極電極、汲極電極、通道摻雜層,該些較佳為包含III-V族材料或Ge(鍺)。III-V族材料(第一材料)較佳為InGaAs、InP、InAs、AlGaSb、InSb、InAs、GaAs、InAsSb、GaSb、AlSb、AlAs、InAlAs及GaP中的至少一種,更佳為InGaAs或InAlAs。本發明中,可不去除所述第一材料或者其矽化物,而是選擇性地去除其他金屬,因此可實現後述基板或半導體基板產品的性能提高或良率提高。 The semiconductor layer (first layer) 2 may include a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a channel doped layer, and these preferably include group III-V materials or Ge (germanium). The group III-V material (first material) is preferably at least one of InGaAs, InP, InAs, AlGaSb, InSb, InAs, GaAs, InAsSb, GaSb, AlSb, AlAs, InAlAs, and GaP, more preferably InGaAs or InAlAs. In the present invention, the first material or its silicide may not be removed, but other metals may be selectively removed, so that the performance or yield of the substrate or semiconductor substrate product described later can be improved.
金屬層(第二層)1的構成材料可列舉:鈦(Ti)、鈷(Co)、鎳(Ni)、鎳鉑(NiPt)、鎢(W)、鉭(Ta)、鈮(Nb)等金屬種類(單一金屬或者複合金屬),近年來,就低接觸電阻的觀點而言,採用NiPt。金屬層1的形成可使用通常應用於此種金屬膜的形成的方法,具體而言,可列舉藉由化學氣相沈積(Chemical Vapor Deposition,CVD)進行的成膜。此時的金屬層1的厚度並無特別限定,可列舉5nm以上、50nm以下的膜的例子。本發明中,為了發揮本發明的蝕刻組成物的選擇去除的效果,較佳為金屬層1為NiPt層(Pt含有率較佳為超過0質量%且為20質量%以下)、Ni層(Pt含有率為0質量%)。 The constituent materials of the metal layer (second layer) 1 include titanium (Ti), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), nickel platinum (NiPt), tungsten (W), tantalum (Ta), niobium (Nb), etc. As the metal type (single metal or composite metal), in recent years, NiPt has been adopted from the viewpoint of low contact resistance. For the formation of the metal layer 1, a method generally applied to the formation of such a metal film can be used, and specifically, a film formation by chemical vapor deposition (Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD) can be cited. The thickness of the metal layer 1 at this time is not particularly limited, and examples of films of 5 nm or more and 50 nm or less can be cited. In the present invention, in order to exert the selective removal effect of the etching composition of the present invention, it is preferable that the metal layer 1 is a NiPt layer (Pt content rate is preferably more than 0% by mass and 20% by mass or less), and a Ni layer (Pt The content rate is 0% by mass).
金屬層1除了包含所述列舉的金屬原子以外,亦可包含其他元素。例如,不可避免地混入的氧或氮亦可存在。不可避免的雜質的量較佳為抑制在例如1ppt~10ppm(質量基準)左右。 The metal layer 1 may contain other elements in addition to the metal atoms listed above. For example, inevitably mixed oxygen or nitrogen may also be present. The amount of inevitable impurities is preferably suppressed to about 1 ppt to 10 ppm (mass basis), for example.
所述步驟(a)中,於半導體層2(含III-V族材料的層)的上側形成金屬層1後,進行退火(燒結),於其界面上形成金屬-Si反應膜(第三層:矽化物層)3(步驟(b))。退火只要根據通常應用於製造此種元件的條件即可,例如可列舉於200℃~1000℃下進行處理。此時的矽化物層3的厚度並無特別限定,可列舉設為50nm以下的層的例子,進而可列舉設為10nm以下的層的例子。下限值並不特別存在,實際上為1nm以上。該矽化物層3被用作低電阻膜,作為將位於其下部的源極電極、汲極電極與配置於其上部的配線進行電性連接的導電部而發揮功能。因此,若矽化物層3中產生缺損或腐蝕,則阻礙其導通,有時會導致元件誤動作等的品質下降。尤其是如今,基板內部的積體電路結構微細化,即便是微小的損傷,亦可能對元件的性能造成大的影響。因此,理想的是儘可能防止此種缺損或腐蝕。
In the step (a), after the metal layer 1 is formed on the upper side of the semiconductor layer 2 (layer containing III-V materials), annealing (sintering) is performed to form a metal-Si reaction film (third layer) on the interface : Silicide layer) 3 (step (b)). Annealing may be performed according to conditions generally used for manufacturing such devices, and examples include treatment at 200°C to 1000°C. At this time, the thickness of the
此外,本說明書中,在廣義上,矽化物層3為包含於第一層的半導體層2(含III-V族材料的層)中的概念。因此,當相對於第一層,將第二層選擇性地去除時,是指不僅包含相對於未經矽化物化的半導體層2(含III-V族材料的層)而將第二層(金屬層)1優先去除的態樣,而且包含相對於矽化物層3而將第二層(金屬層)1優先去除的態樣的含義。
In addition, in this specification, in a broad sense, the
繼而,對殘存的金屬層1進行蝕刻(步驟(b)->步驟(c))。本實施形態中,此時應用蝕刻組成物,自金屬層1的上側賦予蝕刻組成物而使其接觸,藉此去除金屬層1。 Then, the remaining metal layer 1 is etched (step (b)->step (c)). In the present embodiment, an etching composition is applied at this time, and the etching composition is applied from the upper side of the metal layer 1 and brought into contact, thereby removing the metal layer 1.
半導體層2(含III-V族材料的層)包含磊晶層,可藉由化學氣相成長(CVD)法,於具有特定結晶性的矽基板上進行結晶成長而形成。或者亦可藉由電子束磊晶(分子束磊晶(Molecular Beam Epitaxy,MBE))法等,製成以所需的結晶性形成的磊晶層。 The semiconductor layer 2 (layer containing III-V materials) includes an epitaxial layer, which can be formed by crystal growth on a silicon substrate having a specific crystallinity by a chemical vapor growth (CVD) method. Alternatively, an electron beam epitaxy (Molecular Beam Epitaxy (Molecular Beam Epitaxy, MBE)) method or the like can be used to form an epitaxial layer formed with desired crystallinity.
將半導體層2(含III-V族材料的層)設為P型層時,摻雜濃度為1×1014cm-3~1×1021cm-3左右的硼(B)。設為N型層時,以1×1014cm-3~1×1021cm-3的濃度摻雜磷(P)。 When the semiconductor layer 2 (layer containing a III-V material) is a P-type layer, boron (B) has a doping concentration of about 1×10 14 cm −3 to 1×10 21 cm −3 . When the N-type layer is used, phosphorus (P) is doped at a concentration of 1×10 14 cm −3 to 1×10 21 cm −3 .
經過自對準矽化步驟,在所述半導體層(第一層)2與金屬層(第二層)1之間形成含有兩者的元素的層作為矽化物層3。該矽化物層3在廣義上包含於所述第一層中,但在狹義上與其區別稱呼時稱為「第三層」。其組成並無特別限定,是由InxGayAszMp(M:金屬元素)的式子所表示。此時,作為x+y+z+p=1,x較佳為0.05以上、0.80以下,y較佳為0.05以上、0.40以下,z較佳為0.01以上、0.60以下,p較佳為0.05以上、0.70以下。其中,第三層中亦可包含其他元素。這與所述金屬層(第二層)1中所描述的相同。
After the self-aligned silicidation step, a layer containing both elements is formed as the
此外,各元素的濃度設為利用以下的測定方法來測定的值。具體而言,對於基板,利用蝕刻化學分析電子能譜儀(Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis,ESCA)(日本真空(Ulvac-phi)製造,克安太拉(Quantera)),於0nm~30nm為止的深度方向上進行分析,將3nm~15nm分析結果中的Ge濃度的平均值作為元素濃度(質量%)。 In addition, the concentration of each element is a value measured by the following measurement method. Specifically, for the substrate, using an Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA) (manufactured by Ulvac-phi, Quantera), at a depth of 0 nm to 30 nm The analysis was performed in the direction, and the average value of the Ge concentration in the analysis results of 3 nm to 15 nm was taken as the element concentration (mass %).

於某一實施形態下,本說明書中記載的金屬蝕刻製程包括:(a)部分或者整體暴露於本揭示的蝕刻組成物中,藉此提供具有可蝕刻的金屬膜的半導體基板;(b)使被蝕刻的金屬膜與本揭示的蝕刻組成物接觸,進而(c)利用溶劑(例如包含水的溶劑)對經蝕刻的半導體基板進行清洗。 In one embodiment, the metal etching process described in this specification includes: (a) partial or entire exposure to the etching composition of the present disclosure, thereby providing a semiconductor substrate having an etchable metal film; (b) The etched metal film is in contact with the etching composition of the present disclosure, and (c) the etched semiconductor substrate is cleaned with a solvent (for example, a solvent containing water).
蝕刻組成物可利用本領域技術人員所公知的任意適當的方法而與半導體基板接觸。此種方法並不限定於該些,可列舉:將半導體基板浸漬於蝕刻組成物的浴中,或者於半導體基板上吹附或 流動蝕刻組成物。吹附或流動蝕刻組成物的方法可於基板由蝕刻組成物所覆蓋的時刻結束,或者可持續蝕刻組成物與半導體基板接觸的時間的一部分或者全部時間。典型而言,半導體基板與蝕刻組成物可於數秒以內完全接觸。於蝕刻週期(etching period)的中間階段、或者貫穿該週期期間,根據個別的製程而使用加成性蝕刻組成物。 The etching composition can be brought into contact with the semiconductor substrate by any suitable method known to those skilled in the art. This method is not limited to these, and examples include immersing a semiconductor substrate in a bath of an etching composition, or blowing or attaching on a semiconductor substrate Flow etching composition. The method of blowing or flowing the etching composition may end at the time when the substrate is covered by the etching composition, or may continue a part or all of the time when the etching composition contacts the semiconductor substrate. Typically, the semiconductor substrate and the etching composition can be completely in contact within a few seconds. In the middle of the etching period, or throughout the period, the additive etching composition is used according to individual processes.
蝕刻週期期間的製程可包括攪拌方法,或者可排除攪拌方法。例如,於浸漬的實施形態的製程中,可對蝕刻組成物進行循環或者攪拌。或者,可於蝕刻中使基板旋轉,或者上下移動。於吹附或流動的實施形態的製程中,半導體基板被水平放置,但基板可在水平方向上旋轉。於實施形態的任一者中,均可為了引發攪拌而使半導體基板振動。若為本領域技術人員,則可根據個別的應用來決定接觸及攪拌方法的最佳組合。 The process during the etching cycle may include a stirring method, or the stirring method may be excluded. For example, in the process of the immersion embodiment, the etching composition may be circulated or stirred. Alternatively, the substrate may be rotated during etching or moved up and down. In the process of blowing or flowing, the semiconductor substrate is placed horizontally, but the substrate can be rotated in the horizontal direction. In any of the embodiments, the semiconductor substrate can be vibrated to cause stirring. If it is a person skilled in the art, the best combination of contact and stirring methods can be determined according to individual applications.
蝕刻週期通常可實行約30秒至約30分鐘。該時間依存於:被蝕刻的膜的厚度、避免對其他露出膜的不良影響的必要度、所使用的個別的蝕刻組成物、所使用的個別的接觸方法、以及所採用的溫度。 The etching cycle can usually be performed for about 30 seconds to about 30 minutes. This time depends on the thickness of the film to be etched, the necessity to avoid adverse effects on other exposed films, the individual etching composition used, the individual contact method used, and the temperature used.
金屬膜被蝕刻的情況下的溫度通常在20℃至60℃之間。較佳的溫度範圍為約20℃至約50℃。最佳的溫度範圍為約30℃至約50℃。 The temperature when the metal film is etched is usually between 20°C and 60°C. The preferred temperature range is about 20°C to about 50°C. The optimal temperature range is about 30°C to about 50°C.
繼蝕刻步驟之後,利用包含水、較佳為去離子水的溶劑來清洗半導體基板。若為適當的清洗方法,則可採用任一種方法。可 例示:將半導體基板浸漬於停滯水或者流水中,或者於半導體基板上吹附或流動水。於蝕刻週期期間亦可採用所述攪拌。 Following the etching step, the semiconductor substrate is cleaned with a solvent containing water, preferably deionized water. If it is an appropriate cleaning method, either method can be used. can Examples: immersing the semiconductor substrate in stagnant water or running water, or blowing or flowing water on the semiconductor substrate.

This is combined with the effect of inhibiting the dissolution of III-V materials or germanium by using a sulfonic acid compound, and exhibits remarkable etching selectivity. Furthermore, if the carbon number of the organic cation becomes larger (5 or more), the dissolution of the group III-V material or germanium can be more significantly suppressed.
