- a basic semiconductor structure is formed, such as a back gate structure for fabricating a CMOS device, an integrated circuit multilayer metal interconnection structure, and the like.
- the step of fabricating the basic structure of the back gate structure of the CMOS device includes: depositing a pad oxide layer (not shown) on the typically silicon substrate 10 having an STI (not shown), depositing on the pad oxide layer A dummy gate structure, the dummy gate structure typically comprising a dummy gate 30 of polysilicon (or amorphous silicon) and a nitride spacer spacer 40 on either side of the dummy gate, and may also include a nitride on the dummy gate.
- a cap layer (not shown) is then used for ion implantation using the dummy gate structure as a mask to form a source-drain structure, preferably an LDD structure, in the substrate 10.
- the IC multilayer metal interconnect is, for example, a damascene structure, well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.
- a laminated structure of a dielectric is formed on the basic semiconductor structure.
- a thicker dielectric material typically undoped USG (undoped silicate glass, ie Si0 2 ) material, such as low temperature oxide (LTO), is deposited between the basic semiconductor structures that have been formed, such as sidewall spacers. 50 to obtain good insulation properties, also can be prepared by chemical vapor deposition or thermal oxidation method of borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG), borosilicate glass (BSG), A dielectric material such as phosphosilicate glass (PSG) having a thickness of, for example, 2,000 to 20,000 ⁇ .
- BPSG borophosphosilicate glass
- BSG borosilicate glass
- PSG phosphosilicate glass
- a thinner layer of SOG 60 is then spin coated on the LTO 50, for example from 2000 to 20000 A, preferably 500 ⁇ .
- the two layers of the structure are only schematically shown in the embodiment and the drawings, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that more layers of the dielectric laminate structure can be used to obtain better insulation properties, such as three layers and four layers.
- the combined laminated structure of LTO-SOG, however, preferably, the top and bottom of the laminated structure are the SOG and LTO layers, respectively.
- the structure is determined by the thickness of the metal layer or any other structure protruding from the surface. After the deposition of the LTO and SOG multilayer isolation dielectric materials, the protrusions 51 and 61 will be formed on the gate, resulting in a wafer. The overall uniformity of the surface is deteriorated, so heat treatment is also performed to reflow the SOG to achieve a better flattening effect, and a preliminary relatively flat laminate structure is obtained.
- the thickness of the protruding portion 51 of the LTO is determined by the process parameters for depositing the LTO and the thickness of the dummy gate 30 and the side wall 40 itself, and may depend, for example, on the material gas flow rate, the deposition temperature, and the like. Specifically, the thickness of the protruding portion 51 may be 10 To 200nm.
- a plasma pair of LTO50 and SOG60 is used in a cavity such as a plasma etching machine or a reactive ion etching machine and an inductively coupled etching machine or other plasma-based etching machine.
- the stacked structure is subjected to a first etching, mainly etching the SOG until the near SOG/Si0 2 near interface.
- the near interface as shown in FIG. 8, is close to the plane of the SOG/Si0 2 interface, particularly the protruding portion 51 and substantially parallel to the substrate 10, specifically, the plane at the near interface may be a distance from the SOG/Si0.
- the interface 2 is particularly 100 to 1000 A at the top of the protruding portion 51, that is, 10 to 100 nm, preferably 300 A, that is, 30 nm. That is, the first etch of the stacked structure stops at the near interface between the stacked structures.
- the first etching in order to eliminate the influence of the polymer generated when the SOG is etched, this may be obtained by using a plasma etching gas for synchronization or subsequent in-situ processing.
- the plasma etching gas may include a fluorocarbon-based gas such as CF 4 , CH 2 F 2 , CH 3 F, CHF 3 , C 4 F 6 , C 4 F 8 , and combinations thereof.
- the plasma etching gas may also be a combination of SF 6 and 0 2 .
- the fluorocarbon or fluorine based plasma etch gas may further comprise oxygen, synchronized or subsequently processed in situ to eliminate the polymer produced by the first etch, the first etch being in a single step, two steps or multiple steps Plasma etchback process.
- this step is not directly related to the gist of the present invention, it will not be described in detail herein. They can be implemented using existing single-step, two-step or multi-step techniques, or they can be This is achieved with future developed technologies, which does not affect the invention.
- the etching rate selection ratio of SOG/SiO 2 is a ratio of the difference between the thickness of the SOG thickness (that is, the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the thickness) and the thickness difference of 510 2 , expressed as 1/K ( K>1).
- a second etch is performed until the desired surface, that is, until the dummy gate structure is exposed.
- the second etching may use the same plasma etching gas as the first etching to perform near-equal rate etchback, such as fluorocarbon or fluorine-based gas (for example, CF 4 , CH 2 F 2 , CH 3 F, etc.) And its combination, may contain oxygen, or a combination of SF 6 and oxygen), that is, the remaining SOG at the near interface and the lower LTO by plasma etching, the etching rate is Ec (different from Eb, according to engraving Etching effect adjustment menu), because the etching rate is the same, the interface etching stability can be improved.
- near-equal rate etchback such as fluorocarbon or fluorine-based gas (for example, CF 4 , CH 2 F 2 , CH 3 F, etc.)
- near-equal rate etchback such as fluorocarbon or fluorine-based gas (for example, CF 4 , CH
- the difference in etch rate at the center and edge of the wafer is shown in FIG.
- the second etching may be the same as the cavity used for the first etching, and both are the same plasma etching machine or reactive ion etching machine and inductive coupling etching machine or other plasma-based etching machine, without Switching between multiple workstations increases batch processing power, saving time and reducing costs.
- the surface thickness profile after the final etching of the SOG/SiO 2 laminate structure according to the present invention As shown in Fig. 8, the surface thickness profile after the final etching of the SOG/SiO 2 laminate structure according to the present invention.
- the horizontal axis represents the distance from the opposite center on the wafer, and the vertical axis represents the thickness of the dielectric material.
- the thickness can be measured by an interference tester or an ellipsometer, and the etching rate needs to be measured before and after the wafer. The thickness is then divided by the time of etching.
- the desired thickness profile and etch rate topography can be obtained by measuring the thickness values at different locations on the wafer.
- the effective area of the wafer is increased from the initial 60% to at least 80%, and the non-uniformity is reduced from 10% to 5%. Good flat performance.
- the effective area is an area of the area on which the device on the wafer can work effectively. Specifically, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIGS. 5 and 8, the dot-dash line (corresponding to a dielectric thickness of 1250 angstroms) is thinner than the dielectric thickness. These areas are over-etched more, and in the subsequent metal gate filling process, the metal will be filled into it, allowing subsequent The process is affected and therefore does not meet the requirements and does not belong to the effective area.
- the effective area area of Fig. 5 is within 30 mm from the center
- the effective area area of Fig. 8 is within 40 mm from the center.
- there are two kinds of characterization methods for wafer surface thickness and etch rate non-uniformity ie, the difference (the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value), the non-uniformity and the deviation (the variance of all measurement data).
- Uniformity then divided by twice the mean, is a representation made with very poor non-uniformity.
- the calculation results show that the invention greatly improves the uniformity of the thickness of the dielectric, thereby increasing the effective area of the wafer surface.
- the resulting etched device structure cross-sectional view is schematically shown in FIG. 9.
- an excellent ILD is obtained due to the near-interface two-step etching.
- a flat surface that is, a flat, neat ILD surface can be obtained not only in the central region but also at the edge of the wafer.
