Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of depositing dielectric on a semiconductor substrate to form part of a capacitor.
- Tantalum Pentoxide Ti 2 O 5
- This material can be deposited by various chemical and physical means, but the most convenient for semiconductor work is active visual vapour deposition. This process is well known in general and is for example described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,111,355.
- Tantalum is one of a class of materials in which the oxide forms on the surface of the metal target and is sputtered from the target, in contrast to other reactive processes where the oxide or nitride is formed in flight or on the surface of the substrate. Possibly because of this factor problems can arise from a relatively high leakage current through the deposited layer. As will be seen in U.S. Pat. No. 5,872,696 it is thought that this is in part due to pin holes and in part due to the presence of un-oxidised Tantalum atoms within the layer linking to form a leakage path. In that Patent a reduction of the leakage current is achieved by further anodisation of the Tantalum Pentoxide.
- the present invention consists in a method of depositing dielectric on a semiconductor substrate on a support to form part of a capacitor including reactive sputtering the metal oxide layer from a target of the metal onto the substrate characterised in that the support is bias to induce a DC voltage across the deposited dielectric as it forms.
- the induced voltage may be in the range of 200-300 volts and to achieve this the support may be bias by means of an RF or pulse DC power supply.
- the target may also be bias by an RV or pulse DC power supply, the pulsed supply is preferred.
- the method may further include the step of plasma oxidation of the deposited oxide after or during deposition.
- the dielectric layer may be deposited on the first electrode and discrete second electrodes may be deposited on the upper surface to define a plurality of capacitors.
- the area of each second electrode may be less than 0.01 cm 2 and capacitors have been formed with second electrode areas of 0.008 cm 2 .
- the metal oxide is Tantalum Pentoxide, but it is believed that the method will show improvements with any metal oxide which is reactive sputtered from the target.
- first electrode 10 (typically of Titanium Nitride) onto the surface of a substrate 11 and onto this they reactively sputter Tantalum Pentoxide 12 to form a dielectric layer.
- Second electrodes are then formed by depositing dots 13 of Titanium Nitride through an aperture mask. Each dot then defines a single capacitor formed by the respective dot 13 the underlying area of the first electrode 10 and the intermediate portion of dielectric 12 .
- Dielectric Ta 2 O 5 generally 100 ⁇ to 100 ⁇ thick, typically 500 ⁇ through different applications may require 1 micron thickness and the result reported below was for 100 ⁇ . In general thinner layers are preferred.
- Wafer size 150 mm silicon
- the capacitance dots 13 were probed under the application of 5 volts and the leakage current measured.
- the batch of capacitors which had been formed without biasing the support had a leakage current >1 ⁇ 6 amps whereas those formed under the bias conditions had a leakage current of ⁇ 1 ⁇ 8 amps.
- the thickness of the Tantalum Pentoxide was 100 ⁇ .
