Further, the upper electrode film 17 is selectively removed by RIE (Reactive Ion Etching) with the patterned resist film 18 used as a mask. In the step of selectively removing the upper electrode film 17 , the dielectric film 16 is also removed partly in a thickness of, for example, 30 nm.

It follows that it is possible to form a capacitor having a large capacitance by simply adjusting the areas of the lower electrode 15 and the upper electrode 17 without enlarging the first wiring 13 so as to facilitate the promotion of the fineness of the element.
- the end portion of the dielectric film 16 has a thickness thinner than the central portion of the dielectric film 16 by stopping the etching before the dielectric film 16 is etched completely. As a result, it is possible to prevent formation of a leak current path to the lower electrode 15 from an end portion of the upper electrode 17 , thereby moderating the electric field concentration in the edge portion of the upper electrode 17 , compared with the case where the dielectric film 16 is etched completely.

- the surface area of the first wiring 13 can be made smaller than in the prior art, making it possible to suppress the problem in respect of the reduction in the thickness of the wiring. Further, even if the Cu diffusion preventing film 14 has a high dielectric constant, it is possible to diminish the parasitic capacitance because the first wiring 13 is formed only partly.
- the side surface of the via hole 24 b is in contact with the silicon nitride films 19 , 21 and the dielectric film 16 .

- the width of the lower electrode 35 is made smaller than that of each of the dielectric film 36 and the upper electrode 37 , and the lower electrode 35 is covered with the dielectric film 36 and the upper electrode 37 . Because of the particular construction, the edge portion 35 a of the lower electrode 35 on the side of the dielectric film 36 is allowed to have an obtuse angle so as to moderate the electric field concentration on the edge portion 64 a.

Description
- This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-089290, filed Mar. 28, 2000, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a semiconductor device having a capacitor and a method of manufacturing the same.
- In recent years, proposed is a semiconductor device using a Cu wiring of a damascene structure in accordance with progress in the fineness of the element.
- FIG. 16 is a cross sectional view showing a conventional semiconductor device of a damascene structure. As shown in the drawing, a
first wiring 62 made of, for example, Cu is formed in a SiO2 film 61, and adielectric film 63 is formed on thefirst wiring 62. Further, anupper electrode 64 is formed on thedielectric film 63. Still further, avia hole 66 connected to theupper electrode 64 is formed in an interlayerinsulating film 65, and asecond wiring 67 made of, for example, Cu, which is connected to thevia hole 66, is formed on the interlayerinsulating film 65. - In the conventional semiconductor device of the construction described above, the
first wiring 62, thedielectric film 63 and theupper electrode 64 collectively form a capacitor 68. In other words, thefirst wiring 62 buried in the SiO2 film 61 plays the role of the lower electrode of the capacitor 68. Thefirst wiring 62 is hereinafter referred to as a lower electrode. - However, in the conventional semiconductor device of the construction described above, the capacitance of the capacitor68 is determined by the surface area of any of the
lower electrode 62 and theupper electrode 64 having a smaller surface area. Therefore, where a capacitor having a large capacitance is required, it is necessary to enlarge the surface area of not only theupper electrode 64 but also thelower electrode 62. Such being the situation, it was very difficult to form a capacitor having a large capacitance while promoting the fineness of the element. - FIG. 17 shows in a magnified fashion the portion B shown in FIG. 16. As shown in FIG. 17, an
edge portion 64 a of theupper electrode 64 on the side of thedielectric film 63 forms an acute angle, with the result that the electric field is concentrated on theedge portion 64 a, giving rise to a problem that the reliability of the element is lowered. - Further, although many of the capacitors used as analog passive elements are capacitors fixed at one kind of capacitance, there is a case where it is required to form within a single layer a plurality of capacitors having various capacitance values. For example, in order to cope with the pairing problem of the capacitors which occur nonuniform capacitance values that the capacitance values are rendered nonuniform among the capacitors, it is considered effective to diminish the influence given by the nonuniform capacitance values. However, if the area of the capacitor is increased, the delay time accompanying the charging is rendered long, making it necessary to diminish the capacitance per unit area of the capacitor because the capacitor having a small capacitance permits shortening the charging time so as to shorten the delay time accompanying the charging. For meeting such demands, it has become necessary to form a plurality of capacitors having at least two kinds of capacitance values within a single layer without increasing the chip area.
- As described above, it was very difficult in the conventional semiconductor device to form a plurality of capacitors having a large capacitance or at least two kinds of capacitance values while promoting the fineness of the element. An additional problem to be noted is that an electric field is concentrated in an edge portion of the electrode so as to lower the reliability of the element.

- Some embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- [First Embodiment]
- The first embodiment of the present invention is directed to a semiconductor device having a Cu wiring of a damascene structure and is featured in that a capacitor is formed separately from the Cu wiring.
- FIGS.1 to 6A are cross sectional views showing the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The manufacturing method of the semiconductor device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6A.
- In the first step, a
wiring groove 11 a is formed in a SiO2 film 11, followed by forming abarrier metal layer 12 in thewiring groove 11, as shown in FIG. 1. A wiring material layer such as a Cu layer is formed on thebarrier metal layer 12 so as to fill thewiring groove 11 a. Then, the wiring material layer and thebarrier metal layer 12 are planarized by, for example, a CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polish) method until the surface of the SiO2 film 11 is exposed to the outside so as to form afirst wiring 13 buried in the SiO2 film 11. - In the next step, a Cu
diffusion preventing film 14 made of, for example, a SiN film is formed on the SiO2 film 11, followed by forming alower electrode film 15 made of, for example, a TiN film is formed on the Cudiffusion preventing film 14. Further, adielectric film 16 made of, for example, a Ta2O5 film is formed on thelower electrode film 15, followed by forming anupper electrode film 17 made of, for example, a TiN film on thedielectric film 16. It should be noted that the Cudiffusion preventing film 14 is formed in a thickness of, for example, 50 nm, thelower electrode film 15 is formed in a thickness of, for example, 60 nm, thedielectric film 16 is formed in a thickness of, for example, 50 nm, and theupper electrode film 17 is formed in a thickness of, for example, 50 nm. - Then, the
upper electrode film 17 is coated with a resistfilm 18, followed by patterning the resistfilm 18 by means of photolithography, as shown in FIG. 2. Further, theupper electrode film 17 is selectively removed by RIE (Reactive Ion Etching) with the patterned resistfilm 18 used as a mask. In the step of selectively removing theupper electrode film 17, thedielectric film 16 is also removed partly in a thickness of, for example, 30 nm. As a result, an end portion of thedielectric film 16 is thinner than a central portion of thedielectric film 16. In this fashion, formed is acapacitor 28 consisting of theupper electrode film 17, thedielectric film 16 and thelower electrode film 15. Then, the resistfilm 18 is removed. - In the next step, a
SiN film 19 is formed on theupper electrode film 17 and thedielectric film 16, as shown in FIG. 3, followed by coating theSiN film 19 with a resistfilm 20 and subsequently patterning the resistfilm 20 by means of photolithography. Then, theSiN film 19, thedielectric film 16 and thelower electrode film 15 are selectively removed by RIE with the patterned resistfilm 20 used as a mask so as to expose the surface of the Cudiffusion preventing film 14 to the outside. Further, the resistfilm 20 is removed. - Then, a
SiN film 21 is formed on theSiN film 19 and the Cudiffusion preventing film 14, as shown in FIG. 4. It should be noted that the sum of the thickness of theSiN film 19 and the thickness of theSiN film 21 is, for example, about 50 nm. - After formation of the
SiN film 21, a firstinterlayer insulating film 22 made of, for example, a SiO2 film is formed on theSiN film 21 by a PECVD (Plasma Enhances Chemical Vapor Deposition) method, followed by planarizing the firstinterlayer insulating film 22 by a CMP method, as shown in FIG. 5. Then, a secondinterlayer insulating film 23 is formed on the planarized firstinterlayer insulating film 22. The secondinterlayer insulating film 23 is formed of an insulating film having a low dielectric constant such as a SiN film. As a result, it is possible to decrease the capacitance between the wirings. The low dielectric constant is a relative dielectric constant of less than 4.0. - In the next step, the first
interlayer insulating film 22 is selectively removed by the photolithography and RIE so as to form viaholes interlayer insulating film 22. It should be noted that the viahole 24 a is connected to thefirst wiring 13, and the viahole 24 b is connected to thelower electrode film 15. Further, the viahole 24 c is connected to theupper electrode film 17. - In the next step, the second
interlayer insulating film 23 is selectively etched so as to formwiring grooves 25, which are positioned on the via holes 24 a, 24 b, 24 c, in the secondinterlayer insulating film 23. - Then, a
barrier metal layer 26 made of, for example, TaN is formed on the via holes 24 a, 24 b, 24 c and thewiring grooves 25, as shown in FIG. 6A, followed by forming a wiring material layer such as a Cu layer on thebarrier metal layer 26 so as to permit the via holes 24 a, 24 b, 24 c and thewiring grooves 25 to be filled with the wiring material. Further, thebarrier metal layer 26 and the wiring material layer are planarized by, for example, a CMP method until the surface of the secondinterlayer insulating film 23 is exposed to the outside, thereby forming asecond wiring 27. - According to the first embodiment described above, the
first wiring 13 is not used as the lower electrode of a capacitor, and thecapacitor 28 is formed separately from thefirst wiring 13. It follows that it is possible to form a capacitor having a large capacitance by simply adjusting the areas of thelower electrode 15 and theupper electrode 17 without enlarging thefirst wiring 13 so as to facilitate the promotion of the fineness of the element. - It should also be noted that it is possible to form the end portion of the
dielectric film 16 has a thickness thinner than the central portion of thedielectric film 16 by stopping the etching before thedielectric film 16 is etched completely. As a result, it is possible to prevent formation of a leak current path to thelower electrode 15 from an end portion of theupper electrode 17, thereby moderating the electric field concentration in the edge portion of theupper electrode 17, compared with the case where thedielectric film 16 is etched completely. - Also, the insulating
films capacitor 28, it is possible to prevent the contamination with Cu to thedielectric film 16 of thecapacitor 28 from thesecond wiring 27 and the via holes 24 a, 24 b, 24 c. - Also, the Cu
diffusion preventing film 14 is formed below thecapacitor 28, it is possible to prevent the contamination with Cu to an element (not shown) formed below thecapacitor 28 from thesecond wiring 27 and the via holes 24 a, 24 b, 24 c. - It should also be noted that, since the
capacitor 28 is formed separately from thefirst wiring 13, it suffices to form thefirst wiring 13 only below the viahole 24 a. Where the surface area of thefirst wiring 62 is large as in the prior art, the problem that the area of thedielectric film 63 is limited by the reduction in the thickness of thefirst wiring 62 is rendered prominent. In the present invention, however, the surface area of thefirst wiring 13 can be made smaller than in the prior art, making it possible to suppress the problem in respect of the reduction in the thickness of the wiring. Further, even if the Cudiffusion preventing film 14 has a high dielectric constant, it is possible to diminish the parasitic capacitance because thefirst wiring 13 is formed only partly. - Incidentally, in the first embodiment, the side surface of the via
hole 24 b is in contact with thesilicon nitride films dielectric film 16. However, the present invention is not limited to the particular construction. For example, it is possible for thedielectric film 16 to be formed in a part on thelower electrode 15 such that the side surface of the viahole 24 b is only in contact with thesilicon nitride films - [Second Embodiment]
- The second embodiment is directed to a semiconductor device having an Al wiring and is featured in that the lower electrode of a capacitor is covered with a dielectric film and the upper electrode.
- FIGS.7 to 9 are cross sectional views showing the process of manufacturing the semiconductor device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The manufacturing method of the semiconductor device according to the second embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9.
- In the first step, a
first wiring 32 made of Al is formed in a SiO2 film 31, as shown in FIG. 7, followed by forming aninterlayer insulating film 33 made of, for example, a SiO2 film on the SiO2 film 31 and subsequently forming viaholes interlayer insulating film 33. Then, alower electrode film 35 made of, for example, a TiN film is formed on theinterlayer insulating film 33, followed by patterning thelower electrode film 35 such that thelower electrode film 35 selectively remains unremoved on the via holes 34 a. In this step, thelower electrode film 35 has a thickness of, for example, 60 nm. - In the next step, a
dielectric film 36 made of, for example, a Ta2O5 film is formed on thelower electrode film 35 and theinterlayer insulating film 33 surface, as shown in FIG. 8, followed by forming anupper electrode film 37 made of, for example, a TiN film on thedielectric film 36. Thedielectric film 36 has a thickness of, for example, 50 nm, and theupper electrode film 37 has a thickness of, for example, 50 nm. - Then, a resist film (not shown) is formed in the
upper electrode film 37 and patterned such that the resist film remains unremoved in the region other than the region above the viahole 34 b. After the patterning of the resist film, theupper electrode film 37 and thedielectric film 36 are selectively removed with the patterned resist film used as a mask so as to expose the surface of the viahole 34 b and the surface of theinterlayer insulating film 33 in the vicinity of the viahole 34 b to the outside. As a result, formed is acapacitor 39 consisting of thelower electrode film 35, thedielectric film 36 and theupper electrode film 37. Then, the resist film is removed. - In the next step, a wiring material layer consisting of Al is formed on the
upper electrode film 37 and theinterlayer insulating film 33, followed by patterning the wiring material layer, as shown in FIG. 9. As a result, formed are asecond wiring 38 a on theupper electrode film 37 and athird wiring 38 b connected to the viahole 34 b. - FIG. 10 shows in a magnified fashion the portion A shown in FIG. 9. On the other hand, FIG. 11 is a graph showing the electric field intensity in the edge portion of the electrode in respect of the prior art and the present invention.
- As shown in FIG. 10, an
edge portion 35 a of thelower electrode 35 on the side of thedielectric film 36 has an obtuse angle, with the result that the electric field in the edge portion of the electrode in the present invention is rendered weaker than that in the prior art. - According to the second embodiment described above, the width of the
lower electrode 35 is made smaller than that of each of thedielectric film 36 and theupper electrode 37, and thelower electrode 35 is covered with thedielectric film 36 and theupper electrode 37. Because of the particular construction, theedge portion 35 a of thelower electrode 35 on the side of thedielectric film 36 is allowed to have an obtuse angle so as to moderate the electric field concentration on theedge portion 64 a. It follows that it is possible to improve the reliability of the element. - [Third Embodiment]
- The third embodiment is directed to a semiconductor device including a capacitor of a laminate structure with a Cu wiring of a damascene structure, and is featured in that a plurality of capacitors having various capacitance values are formed in the same layer.

The manufacturing method of the semiconductor device according to the third embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 15.
- In the first step, a
wiring groove 41 a is formed in a SiO2 film 41, followed by forming abarrier metal layer 42 as shown in FIG. 12. Then, a wiring material layer such as a Cu layer is formed on thebarrier metal layer 42 so as to fill thewiring groove 41 a. Further, the wiring material layer and thebarrier metal layer 42 are planarized by, for example, a CMP method until the surface of the SiO2 film 41 is exposed to the outside so as to form afirst wiring 43 buried in the SiO2 film 41. - Then, a
dielectric film 44 consisting of, for example, a SiN film is formed on the SiO2 film 41, followed by forming anintermediate electrode film 45 made of, for example, a TiN film or a Ta film on thedielectric film 44. - In the next step, a resist film (not shown) is formed on the
intermediate electrode film 45 and, then, patterned as shown in FIG. 13. Then, theintermediate electrode film 45 is selectively removed with the patterned resist film used as a mask such that theintermediate electrode film 45 is partly left unremoved on thefirst wiring 43 so as to expose the surface of thedielectric film 44 to the outside, followed by removing the resist film. As a result, formed is afirst capacitor 54 consisting of thefirst wiring 43, thedielectric film 44 and theintermediate electrode film 45. It should be noted that thefirst wiring 43 forms the lower electrode of thefirst capacitor 54. Thefirst wiring 43 is hereinafter referred to as the lower electrode film. - In the next step, a
dielectric film 46 consisting of, for example, a Ta2O5 film is formed on theintermediate electrode film 45 and thedielectric film 44, as shown in FIG. 14, followed by forming anupper electrode film 47 made of, for example, TaN on thedielectric film 46. Then, a resist film (not shown) is formed on theupper electrode film 47 and, then, patterned. Further, theupper electrode film 47 and thedielectric film 46 are selectively removed with the patterned resist film used as a mask such that theupper electrode film 47 and thedielectric film 46 are left unremoved on only theintermediate electrode film 45, thereby exposing the surfaces of thedielectric film 44 and theintermediate electrode film 45 to the outside. Then, the resist film is removed. As a result, formed is asecond capacitor 55 consisting of theintermediate electrode film 45, thedielectric film 46 and theupper electrode film 47. Thesecond capacitor 55 thus formed differs from thefirst capacitor 54 in capacitance. - In the next step, a first
interlayer insulating film 48 made of, for example, a SiO2 film is formed on theupper electrode film 47, theintermediate electrode film 45 and thedielectric film 44 by a PECVD method, followed by planarizing the firstinterlayer insulating film 48 by a CMP method, as shown in FIG. 15. Then, a secondinterlayer insulating film 49 is formed on the planarized firstinterlayer insulating film 48. The secondinterlayer insulating film 49 is formed of an insulating film having a low dielectric constant such as a SiN film, with the result that it is possible to lower the capacitance between the wirings. - Then, the first
interlayer insulating film 48 is selectively removed by the photolithography and RIE so as to form viaholes interlayer insulating film 48. It should be noted that the viahole 50 a is connected to thelower electrode 43, and the viahole 50 b is connected to theupper electrode 47. Further, the viahole 50 c is connected to theintermediate electrode film 45. - In the next step, the second
interlayer insulating film 49 is selectively etched so as to formwiring grooves 51 in the secondinterlayer insulating film 49, said grooves being positioned on the via holes 50 a, 50 b, 50 c formed in the firstinterlayer insulating film 48. - Then, a
barrier metal layer 52 made of, for example, TaN is formed in thewiring grooves 51, followed by forming a wiring material layer such as a Cu layer on thebarrier metal layer 52, with the result that the via holes 50 a, 50 b, 50 c and thewiring grooves 51 are filled with the wiring material. Further, thebarrier metal layer 52 and the wiring material layer are planarized by, for example, a CMP method until the surface of the secondinterlayer insulating film 49 is exposed to the outside, thereby forming asecond wiring 53. - According to the third embodiment described above, a plurality of
capacitors capacitors - As described above, it is possible in the present invention to form a plurality of capacitors having at least two kinds of capacitance values, thereby meeting the various demands. Also, since the capacitor is of a laminate structure, it is possible to diminish the chip area so as to promote the fineness of the element.
- Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details and representative embodiments shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
