- HfO 2 is formed directly on Si to suppress an increase in equivalent oxide thickness due to the low dielectric constant interface SiO 2 layer (see Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2).
- a high-k insulating film having a dielectric constant of about 13 to 20 is used. This method is not sufficient because it is necessary to reduce the film thickness to a region where the tunnel current directly flows.

- FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a method for forming a gate insulating film according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a time-series schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the thickness of the HfO 2 layer during film formation and the crystal phase after heat treatment.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the amount of impurities in the HfO 2 layer.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the gate stack in the embodiment.
- FIG. 5 is a graph showing the CV characteristics of the example.
- an amorphous HfO 2 layer 2 serving as a gate insulating film is formed on a silicon substrate 1 as a semiconductor substrate (FIG. 1A).
- the amorphous HfO 2 layer 2 is formed by an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method.
- ALD atomic layer deposition
- the atomic layer growth method is excellent in in-plane uniformity of a silicon wafer having a large diameter of 300 mm as compared with the sputtering method, and is therefore suitable for mass production, and is generally used in practice. Therefore, since the present invention is a method suitable for actual mass production, the amorphous HfO 2 layer 2 is formed by the atomic layer growth method.
- an oxygen control metal layer 3 having an oxygen absorption effect is formed on the HfO 2 layer 2 (FIG. 1B).
- the oxygen control metal layer 3 has an effect as a protective film at the time of a heat treatment performed later, and also has an effect of absorbing oxygen generated from the HfO 2 layer 2 at the time of the heat treatment.
- the oxygen control metal layer 3 is composed of a metal layer having an oxygen absorption effect or a metal nitride layer having an oxygen absorption effect similar to that of the metal layer.

- the film thickness of the oxygen control metal layer 3 can be about 1 to 100 nm. A more preferable film thickness is about 10 to 100 nm.
- heat treatment is performed to heat to a temperature at which the HfO 2 layer 2 is crystallized (FIG. 1C).
- This heat treatment is a rapid heat treatment for crystallizing the amorphous HfO 2 layer 2 and preferentially generating the HfO 2 layer 4 having a crystal phase having a dielectric constant higher than that of the amorphous HfO 2 .
- the heat treatment is performed, for example, in an N 2 (nitrogen gas) atmosphere at 400 to 1000 ° C., preferably about 800 to 900 ° C.
- the crystal phase of HfO 2 includes a cubic phase, a monoclinic phase, and the like, and in particular, a high dielectric constant is obtained when the phase is a cubic phase.
- the heat treatment is a heat treatment for increasing the dielectric constant of the HfO 2 layer by crystallizing the HfO 2 layer 2 to obtain the HfO 2 layer 4 having a cubic phase.
- oxygen released from the HfO 2 layer 2 during the heat treatment is absorbed by the oxygen control metal layer 3 and SiO 2 formed at the HfO 2 / Si interface using the effect of removing oxygen from the HfO 2 lattice. It is the heat processing which removes. More specifically, when the amorphous HfO 2 layer 2 is crystallized into the cubic phase HfO 2 layer 4 by heat treatment, excess oxygen generated by recombination of the crystal lattice is released from the HfO 2 layer 2. This oxygen oxidizes the silicon substrate 1 at the interface between the HfO 2 layer 2 and the silicon substrate 1 and forms an inner layer of SiO 2 .
- SiO 2 has a lower dielectric constant than the cubic HfO 2 layer 4 as a gate insulating film, and the equivalent oxide film thickness of the entire gate stack increases, it is not suitable for increasing the dielectric constant of the gate insulating film. is there.
- this regard because it forms an oxygen control metal layer 3 on the HfO 2 layer 2, directly absorb the oxygen released from the HfO 2 layer 2 by an oxygen control metal layer 3. Thus, to suppress the formation of SiO2 in the HfO 2 / Si interface. Even if the inner layer of SiO 2 is formed, the oxygen control metal layer 3 is formed, so that oxygen is removed from the HfO 2 lattice of the HfO 2 layer 4 and oxygen defects (Vo) are removed from the HfO 2 layer 4. By introducing it, SiO 2 formed at the HfO 2 / Si interface is reduced and removed by reductive decomposition.
- the gate insulating film can have a high dielectric constant.
- the amount of crystal growth nuclei contained in the HfO 2 layer is controlled before the heat treatment step.
- the cubic HfO 2 layer 4 can be easily obtained by the above heat treatment.
- the growth method it has been difficult to easily obtain a cubic phase by the heat treatment.
- the inventors have studied the cause, and as shown in FIG. 2A, when the HfO 2 layer 102 is formed by the conventional atomic layer growth method, impurities in the HfO 2 layer 102 are compared with the sputtering method.
- the monoclinic phase is preferentially generated over the cubic phase using the impurities in the HfO 2 layer 102 as growth nuclei.
- the monoclinic phase is a crystal phase having a lower dielectric constant than the cubic phase.
- the gate insulating film having a high dielectric constant is obtained. Is difficult to get. Therefore, in the present invention, the amount of crystal growth nuclei contained in the HfO 2 layer is controlled before the heat treatment step. Thereby, a cubic phase is preferentially generated.
- the control of the amount of crystal growth nuclei contained in the HfO 2 layer performed before the heat treatment step is to reduce the amount of impurities serving as crystal growth nuclei in the HfO 2 layer.
- HfO 2 As a specific means for reducing the amount of impurities in the HfO 2 layer, as shown in FIG. 2B, when forming the HfO 2 layer on the silicon substrate 1 by atomic layer growth, HfO 2 is used. The thickness of the two layers 2 is reduced.
- the HfO 2 layer 2 has a predetermined impurity density according to film forming conditions determined by a film forming apparatus, a film forming process, and the like. As an example, as shown in FIG.
- the HfO 2 layer 2 formed by depositing on the silicon substrate by the atomic layer growth method has a residual impurity per unit area (cm 2 ) of the 1 nm thick HfO 2 layer. About 1 ⁇ 10 13 pieces. Therefore, when the thickness is about 8.7 nm as in the prior art, there are about 8.7 ⁇ 10 13 impurities per unit area (cm 2 ), in other words, monoclinic crystal growth nuclei. . If the thickness of the HfO 2 layer is 2.4 nm, there are about 2.4 ⁇ 10 13 impurities per unit area (cm 2 ), in other words, monoclinic crystal growth nuclei. The number of crystal growth nuclei is 1/3 or less of the conventional one. Therefore, after the heat treatment, the HfO 2 layer 2 can be made into a cubic crystal having a high dielectric constant.
- a cubic HfO 2 layer was easily obtained on a silicon substrate by using an atomic layer growth method suitable for mass production without interposing an SiO 2 inner layer, and a high dielectric constant was obtained.

- the HfO 2 layer 2 is heated to a temperature at which crystallization does not occur before the heat treatment for crystallization. Can be considered. By heating to a temperature at which crystallization does not occur, the amount of impurities and the amount of crystal growth nuclei in the HfO 2 layer 2 can be reduced.

Formed with. Next, a Ti layer having a thickness of 6 nm was formed as an oxygen control metal layer on the HfO 2 layer. Next, a TiN layer having a thickness of 10 nm was formed as a gate electrode layer on the Ti layer. After forming the TiN layer, heat treatment was performed by rapidly heating to 900 ° C. When the HfO 2 layer after the heat treatment was analyzed with an XRD apparatus, the HfO 2 layer was in a cubic phase. Further, no SiO 2 inner layer was present at the interface between the HfO 2 layer and the silicon substrate.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un procédé de formation d'un film d'isolation de grille transformant une couche de HfO2 en film d'isolation de grille, un empilement de grilles à constante diélectrique plus élevée présentant une épaisseur de film d'oxydation équivalente extrêmement petite étant obtenu sans former de couche de SiO2 à l'interface. Le procédé de formation d'un film d'isolation de grille comprend une étape de formation d'une couche de HfO2 (2) sur un substrat en silicium (1) par un procédé de croissance par couche atomique, une étape de formation d'une couche métallique de commande d'oxygène (3) présentant un effet d'absorption d'oxygène sur la couche HfO2 (2) et une étape de traitement thermique chauffant la couche de fO2 (2) jusqu'à la température de cristallisation. Avant l'étape de traitement thermique, la quantité de noyaux de croissance cristalline dans la couche de HfO2 (2) est contrôlée.
