Abstract

半導体装置(10)の製造方法は、半導体基板(12)の上に第1の絶縁膜(14)を形成する工程と、第1の絶縁膜(14)の上に少なくとも最上層がAuでできた配線(16)を形成する工程と、配線(16)の上面および第1の絶縁膜(14)の上面のうち配線(16)に覆われていない領域に、絶縁膜(14)に注入されても絶縁性を損なわないイオンを注入する工程と、配線(16)を覆う第2の絶縁膜(18)を形成する工程とをこの順に備える。配線(16)の上面に、第1の絶縁膜(14)に注入されても絶縁性を損なわないイオンを注入するため、配線(16)と第2の絶縁膜(18)との密着性向上と製造工程数の増加抑制を両立できる。

Description

半導体装置の製造方法および半導体装置
 この発明は、Auでできた配線を絶縁膜で覆った半導体装置の製造方法、および半導体装置に関する。
 GaAsやGaN等の化合物半導体を用いた高周波デバイスではトランジスタの配線の材料に信頼性に優れるAuが用いられている。またデバイスの保護を目的として配線は絶縁膜(例えばSiOやSiN)で覆われている。しかしながらAuは化学的に安定しているため、Au上に絶縁膜を形成した場合、Auと絶縁膜との密着力が弱く配線上の絶縁膜が剥がれやすい問題がある。
 この問題に対して、Au上にイオン注入法によりTiを注入しアニールすることで配線表層にAu-Ti合金層を形成し絶縁膜の密着性を向上したものがある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
 また別の対策として、Au上にイオン注入法によりSiを注入しアニールすることで配線表面にSiを含有する領域を設け、同じくSiを含有する絶縁膜との密着性を高める方法も示されている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。
特開平06-061225号公報 特開平07-273107号公報
 しかしAuでできた配線にTiイオンまたはSiイオンを注入する場合、配線の下にある絶縁膜にイオンが注入されると配線下の絶縁膜の絶縁性が損なわれる。そのためイオン注入時に配線下の絶縁膜にイオンが注入されないように配線下の絶縁膜の上にレジストを形成する必要があり、製造工程数が増加するという問題がある。
 この発明は上記の問題を解消するためになされたもので、その目的はAuでできた配線と配線上の絶縁膜との密着性向上と製造工程数の増加抑制を両立する半導体装置の製造方法および半導体装置を得ることである。
 この発明に係る半導体装置の製造方法は、半導体基板の上に第1の絶縁膜を形成する工程と、第1の絶縁膜の上に少なくとも最上層がAuでできた配線を形成する工程と、配線の上面および第1の絶縁膜の上面のうち配線に覆われていない領域に、絶縁膜に注入されても絶縁性を損なわないイオンを注入する工程と、配線を覆う第2の絶縁膜を形成する工程とをこの順に備える。
 またこの発明に係る半導体装置は、半導体基板と、半導体基板の上の第2の絶縁膜と第1の絶縁膜の上の少なくとも最上層がAuでできた配線と、配線を覆う第2の絶縁膜とを備え、配線の上面付近および第1の絶縁膜の上面のうち配線に覆われていない領域付近に、絶縁性非破壊元素が1×1017cm-3以上1×1021cm-3以下の濃度で存在する。
 この発明の半導体装置の製造方法および半導体装置によれば、Auでできた配線の上面に、配線下の絶縁膜に注入されても絶縁性を損なわないイオンを注入するため、Auでできた配線と配線上の絶縁膜との密着性向上と製造工程数の増加抑制を両立できる。

実施の形態1.
 図1は実施の形態1に係る半導体装置10の図である。半導体装置10は半導体基板12を備える。半導体基板12はGaAs、GaN、SiCまたはSiなどからなる。
 半導体基板12上に絶縁膜14が形成されている。絶縁膜14はポリイミド、BCB(ベンゾシクロブテン)またはCVD(Chemical Vapor Deposition)膜などからなる。ここでCVD膜とはCVD法で形成されたSiO、SiNなどの絶縁膜である。
 絶縁膜14上に配線16が形成されている。配線16はTi、Ta、Cr、Ti/PtまたはTiWなどの下地の上にAuで形成されたものである。ここでTi/PtとはTiの上にPtが形成された構造のことであり、TiWとはTiとWの合金のことである。配線16は下地の上にAuで形成されたものであるため、配線16の少なくとも最上層はAuでできている。また配線16の側面のうち下地より上はAuでできているため、配線16の側面の少なくとも上部はAuでできている。なお下地はAuに比べて薄いため、図では省略した。
 配線16の上面にイオンが注入されたイオン注入層16aが形成されている。イオン種は、絶縁膜14に注入されても絶縁性を損なわない元素であり、ここでは絶縁性非破壊元素と呼ぶ。絶縁性非破壊元素は具体的にはArまたはNなどである。また絶縁膜14の上面のうち配線16に覆われていない領域にもイオン注入層14aが形成されている。イオン注入層16aおよびイオン注入層14aの絶縁性非破壊元素の濃度は1×1017cm-3以上1×1021cm-3以下である。
 配線16を覆うように絶縁膜18が形成されている。絶縁膜18はSiO、SiN、SiON、AlOまたはTaO等である。
 以下に実施の形態1に係る半導体装置10の製造方法を説明する。まず図2(a)のように半導体基板12の上に絶縁膜14を形成する。
 次に絶縁膜14の上に下地を形成し、下地の上に図2(b)のように、Auでできた配線16を蒸着、スパッタリングまたはメッキ等の方法で形成する。
 次に図2(c)のようにイオン注入法により半導体基板12に対して垂直な方向からイオンを注入する。注入条件は例えば加速エネルギーが5~50keV、ドーズ量が1×1012ions/cm以上である。イオン注入により配線16の上面および絶縁膜14の上面にそれぞれイオン注入層16aとイオン注入層14aが形成される。配線16の上面に形成されたイオン注入層16aは、イオンが注入されることで化学的に不安定な状態となる。
 次に図2(d)のように配線16を覆うように絶縁膜18をCVD法またはALD(Atomic Layer Deposition)法等で形成する。
 以上のとおり実施の形態1によれば配線16の上面のイオン注入層16aが化学的に不安定であるため、配線16と絶縁膜18との密着力が向上し、さらにイオン種は絶縁膜14に注入されても絶縁性を損なわないものであるため、イオン注入前に絶縁膜14の上に保護用のレジストを形成する必要がない。
実施の形態2.
 図3は実施の形態2に係る半導体装置30の図である。半導体装置30は実施の形態1に係る半導体装置10と同様だが、配線36の側面にもイオン注入層36aが形成されている点が異なる。
 図4は実施の形態2に係る半導体装置30の製造方法を示す図である。この製造方法では図4(a)から(d)を順に実施する。実施の形態2に係る半導体装置30の製造方法は実施の形態1と同様だが、イオン注入に斜めイオン注入法を用いる点が異なる(図4(c))。斜めイオン注入では半導体基板12に対して垂直な方向から傾けてイオンを注入する。これにより配線36の側面にもイオン注入層36aが形成される。斜めイオン注入法としては鉛直方向を軸としてウエハを回転しながら注入する方法と、ウエハの回転角を変えながら分割注入する方法のどちらを用いてもよい。
 以上のとおり実施の形態2によれば配線36の側面にもイオン注入層36aが形成されるため、配線36と絶縁膜18との密着性がさらに向上する。
実施の形態3.
 図5は実施の形態3に係る半導体装置50の図である。半導体装置50は実施の形態1に係る半導体装置10と同様だが、配線56および絶縁膜54に注入されたイオンの鉛直方向における分布が異なる。
 図6は実施の形態3に係る半導体装置50の製造方法を示す図である。この製造方法では図6(a)から(d)を順に実施する。実施の形態1ではイオン注入を絶縁膜58形成前に実施するが、実施の形態3では絶縁膜58を形成したあとイオン注入を実施する(図6(c)と(d))。イオン注入は配線56と絶縁膜54だけでなく絶縁膜58にもなされる。
 イオン注入条件を、配線56に注入するイオンの鉛直方向における分布のピークが配線56の上面と絶縁膜58の界面付近にあるように設定する。図7は図5における配線56の右上付近を拡大した図で、イオンの分布のピーク位置を示している。注入条件は絶縁膜58の厚さ等により変わるが、一例として絶縁膜が厚さ100nmのSiN、イオン種がArの場合、加速エネルギーが150keV、ドーズ量が1×1012ions/cm以上である。
 以上のとおり実施の形態3によれば配線56に注入されるイオンの鉛直方向における分布のピークが配線56の上面と絶縁膜58の界面付近にあるため、配線56と絶縁膜58との密着性がさらに向上する。一方実施の形態1のように配線16の上から直接イオン注入すると鉛直方向の分布のピークは配線16の上面より内部に存在することになる。そのため実施の形態1に比べて実施の形態3に係る半導体装置50のほうが配線56と絶縁膜58との密着性が高くなる。
 なおイオン注入に実施の形態2と同様の斜めイオン注入法を用いてもかまわない。その場合は配線56と絶縁膜58の密着性がさらに向上する。
実施の形態4.
 図8は実施の形態4に係る半導体装置70の図である。半導体装置70は実施の形態2に係る半導体装置30と同様だが、絶縁膜74の上面にイオン注入層がない点と、イオン注入されたイオン種の限定が異なる。イオン種は、絶縁膜14に注入されても絶縁性を損なわないAr、Nなどに加え、B、Si、Pd、Ti、Ta、AlまたはCoなど、イオン注入されると絶縁膜の電気伝導度が高くなるものを用いてもよい。これらのイオン種は後述するようにAuでできた配線に注入され、Auに対して不純物として働くため、これらのイオンの元となる元素をここでは不純物元素と呼ぶ。イオン注入層76a中の不純物元素の濃度は1×1017cm-3以上1×1021cm-3以下である。
 以下に実施の形態4に係る半導体装置70の製造方法を説明する。図9(a)のように配線76を形成するまでの工程は実施の形態2と同様である。
 図9(a)のあと、図9(b)のように絶縁膜74の上面のうち配線76に覆われていない領域にレジスト82を形成する。
 次に図9(c)のように90℃以上の熱処理を加えてレジスト82を熱変形させ、配線76の側面のうちレジスト82と接触する領域の少なくとも一部を露出させる。
 次に図10(a)のように斜めイオン注入法により配線76の上面、配線76の側面の少なくとも一部、およびレジスト82の上面にイオンを注入する。イオン注入により配線76の上面および配線76の側面の少なくとも上部にイオン注入層76aが形成され、レジスト82の上面にイオン注入層82aが形成される。配線16の上面に形成されたイオン注入層76aは、不純物であるイオンが注入されることで化学的に不安定な状態となる。またイオン種がB、Si、Pd、Ti、Ta、AlまたはCoなどの場合、イオン注入後にアニールすればイオン注入層76aがAuとの合金となる。
 次に図10(b)のようにレジスト82を除去する。
 次に図10(c)のように配線76を覆うように絶縁膜78を形成する。
 以上のとおり実施の形態4によればイオン注入の際、絶縁膜74の上にレジスト82があり、絶縁膜74の上には直接イオンが注入されないため、絶縁膜74がダメージを受けない。またイオン種が絶縁膜74に打ち込まれた場合にその絶縁性を損なうものであっても絶縁膜74の絶縁性が損なわれない。
 またイオン種がB、Si、Pd、Ti、Ta、AlまたはCoなどの場合、イオン注入後にアニールすればイオン注入層76aがAuとの合金となるため、配線76と絶縁膜78の密着性がさらに向上する。
 なお全ての実施の形態で半導体基板と配線の間に絶縁膜があるとしたが、なくてもよい。その場合、例えば図11のように配線116が半導体基板112の上に形成される。
