- the LSI has a multilayer wiring structure, and is composed of a metal layer and a high dielectric constant insulating film.
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor device in which a capacitive element is incorporated.
- the power supply voltage decreases and the fluctuation voltage due to noise increases, so the noise margin decreases at an accelerated rate.
- Such inductive noise can be reduced by reducing the impedance of the circuit, and power supply fluctuations can be suppressed by adding capacitance to the circuit.
- Such a capacity is called a decoupling capacity.
- the MOS capacitance obtained when forming the transistor is used as the decoupling capacitance.
- the insulation film thickness of the MOS capacitor is reduced, and the leakage current of the insulation film increases rapidly.
- Improvements in operating speed due to miniaturization of MOS active elements are promoting the use of high-frequency (RF) signal processing circuits as MOS devices. If RF devices can be constructed with MOS devices, functions can be improved and costs can be reduced by combining them with digital baseband circuits. The same merit can be enjoyed by mixing analog circuits and digital circuits.
- passive elements such as resistive elements, capacitive elements, and inductors are effectively used. For this reason, it is extremely important to integrate passive elements in addition to the active elements used in MOS logic. MOS logic is capable of being miniaturized with generations. Such passive elements are determined only by their physical properties, so their characteristics will not be reduced even when generations progress.
- SRAM is used as a memory composed of CMOS. SRAM maintains the memory state by complementary latching of logic signals in CMOS circuits.

- polysilicon is used as an electrode material
- a silicon nitride film is used as a capacitor insulating film.
- Patent Document 6 discloses a structure in which an insulating film other than silicon nitride or silicon carbide can be used as a capacitor dielectric film.
- the technology in this document relates to a capacitor structure formed on a multilayer wiring structure having copper wiring.
- a silicon nitride film or a silicon carbide film is always formed as an anti-oxidation insulating film on the copper wiring. For this reason, in order to form a capacitor on the copper wiring, it is necessary to use these films as a capacitor insulating film.
- the technique in this document is a technique for avoiding this restriction.
- a metal film that is not an insulating film is used as an anti-oxidation film.
- a metal is interposed between the exposed surface of the copper wiring and the metal film.
- This metal film is formed so as to remain on the copper wiring, and a capacitive insulating film is formed thereon.
- the portion other than the metal film on the copper wiring exposed as the lower electrode only exposes the interlayer insulating film, and the lower electrode is more resistant to oxidation than the copper wiring.
- the body membrane can be used as a capacitive insulating film!
- Patent Document 7 a capacitor element using a dielectric film made of TaO is formed on a copper wiring.
- a method is disclosed. At this time, a Ta film is interposed between the Cu film and the TaO film for the purpose of preventing Cu diffusion.
- the Ta film is slightly oxidized during the Ta O film formation.
- Patent Document 8 it is possible to connect a copper wiring structure to the lower surface of the lower electrode, supply electric charges to the lower electrode through the copper wiring, and prevent copper from diffusing into an oxide film such as an interlayer insulating film.
- a structure of a semiconductor device capable of maintaining the reliability of the wiring function is disclosed.
- the semiconductor device includes a lower electrode connected to the upper surface of one or a plurality of wirings, and the lower electrode.
- the MIM capacitor has an upper electrode capacitively coupled to the lower electrode, and the lower electrode has a material force for preventing the diffusion of the wiring material and includes the wiring structure.
- an insulating film which is usually formed after the formation of the copper wiring and prevents oxidation and diffusion of copper, is opened only in the capacitance forming portion, and the lower electrode and the lower copper wiring are connected through this opening. .

- a method of directly opening the wiring cap film 103 with a resist mask without using a hard mask is also conceivable, but in this case, it is necessary to perform ashing with the Cu surface exposed in the opening of the wiring cap film 103. Yes, the Cu surface is oxidized during the resist stripping process using oxygen plasma. Therefore, it is desirable to use a hard mask process.

It is also possible to grow the wiring cap film 103 beforehand in advance by taking into account the decrease in film thickness during the CMP.

- the N concentration is 0, that is, a Ta film, TaO of 22 nm is obtained, and it can be seen that a sufficient thickness of the oxide film can be obtained by thermal oxidation at 350 ° C. By the way, it has been confirmed that 17 nm TaO can be obtained when thermal oxidation is performed for 30 minutes.
- the TaO film formed on the surface is very thin when the thickness is 2 nm or less. This characteristic is extremely important.

From Fig. 7, it is found that the thermal oxide film thickness when heated at 350 ° C for 1 hour is 22 nm, and at the same time the Ta N lower electrode surface is slightly oxidized. This is a reasonable result. This result shows that the TaO film thickness obtained can be controlled by controlling the film thickness of the initially formed Ta film during sputtering.
- Figure 9 plots the leakage current for each film obtained in Fig. 8 when the lower electrode side force is applied with a noise to which electrons are supplied.
- an increase in leakage current is observed due to the increase in electric field strength.
- the leakage current also increases when the Ta film thickness before thermal oxidation is thick.
- the TaO film thickness after thermal oxidation is saturated, and the TaO lower electrode side interface is Ta. For this reason, a difference in leakage current is observed in a noise that supplies electrons from the lower electrode side. This may be because the barrier height against electrons differs depending on the lower electrode material.
- Fig. 10 shows the results of estimating the variano and the it from the fitting using the Schottky current model.
