Description
本发明涉及半导体技术领域,特别是涉及一种半导体器件及一种半导体器件的制作方法。
动态随机存储器在制作接触窗结构时,由于不同的接触窗结构对应的接触孔深度不同,使用同一工艺制程制备不同接触窗结构的接触孔就会出现制程工艺开窗深度不足的问题,例如有源区接触孔已经停在有源区表面时,位置较深的字线接触孔停留在字线导电结构上方还未完成开窗,继续刻蚀字线接触孔则会导致有源区接触孔蚀刻到有源区内部,同时接触孔的侧壁也会出现扩孔的问题,容易引起器件的特征尺寸变大或侧壁刻蚀引起的器件短路异常。

为了便于理解本发明,下面将参照相关附图对本发明进行更全面的描述。附图中给出了本发明的首选实施例。但是,本发明可以以许多不同的形式来实现,并不限于本文所描述的实施例。相反地,提供这些实施例的目的是使对本 发明的公开内容更加透彻全面。
除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本发明的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中在本发明的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的目的,不是旨在于限制本发明。本文所使用的术语“及/或”包括一个或多个相关的所列项目的任意的和所有的组合。
应当明白,当元件或层被称为“在...上”、“与...相邻”、“连接到”或“耦合到”其它元件或层时,其可以直接地在其它元件或层上、与之相邻、连接或耦合到其它元件或层,或者可以存在居间的元件或层。相反,当元件被称为“直接在...上”、“与...直接相邻”、“直接连接到”或“直接耦合到”其它元件或层时,则不存在居间的元件或层。应当明白,尽管可使用术语第一、第二、第三等描述各种元件、部件、区、层和/或部分,这些元件、部件、区、层和/或部分不应当被这些术语限制。这些术语仅仅用来区分一个元件、部件、区、层或部分与另一个元件、部件、区、层或部分。因此,在不脱离本发明教导之下,下面讨论的第一元件、部件、区、层或部分可表示为第二元件、部件、区、层或部分。
空间关系术语例如“在...下”、“在...下面”、“下面的”、“在...之下”、“在...之上”、“上面的”等,在这里可为了方便描述而被使用从而描述图中所示的一个元件或特征与其它元件或特征的关系。应当明白,除了图中所示的取向以外,空间关系术语意图还包括使用和操作中的器件的不同取向。例如,如果附图中的器件翻转,然后,描述为“在其它元件下面”或“在其之下”或“在其下”元件或特征将取向为在其它元件或特征“上”。因此,示例性术语“在...下面”和“在...下”可包括上和下两个取向。器件可以另外地取向(旋转90度或其它取向)并且在此使用的空间描述语相应地被解释。
在此使用的术语的目的仅在于描述具体实施例并且不作为本发明的限制。在此使用时,单数形式的“一”、“一个”和“所述/该”也意图包括复数形式,除非上下文清楚指出另外的方式。还应明白术语“组成”和/或“包括”,当在该说明书中使用时,确定所述特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件和/或部件的存在,但不排除一个或更多其它的特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件、部件和/或组的存 在或添加。在此使用时,术语“和/或”包括相关所列项目的任何及所有组合。
这里参考作为本发明的理想实施例(和中间结构)的示意图的横截面图来描述发明的实施例。这样,可以预期由于例如制造技术和/或容差导致的从所示形状的变化。因此,本发明的实施例不应当局限于在此所示的区的特定形状,而是包括由于例如制造导致的形状偏差。例如,显示为矩形的注入区在其边缘通常具有圆的或弯曲特征和/或注入浓度梯度,而不是从注入区到非注入区的二元改变。同样,通过注入形成的埋藏区可导致该埋藏区和注入进行时所经过的表面之间的区中的一些注入。因此,图中显示的区实质上是示意性的,它们的形状并不意图显示器件的区的实际形状且并不意图限定本发明的范围。
典型的动态随机存储器在制作连接字线、位线、晶体管有源区的源极区/漏极区、晶体管栅极区这几种结构的接触窗结构时,由于不同的接触窗结构对应的接触孔要开窗到不同的目标深度上,使用同一工艺制程制备接触孔时就会出现一种接触孔已经达到对应的目标深度,而其他的接触孔还未完成开窗,此时继续开窗,接触孔深度增加的同时也会持续对接触孔的侧壁进行扩孔,容易引起器件特征尺寸变大或侧蚀器件短路异常,例如晶体管有源区接触孔(Active Area contact,AA Contact)已经停在有源区表面,较深的字线接触孔(Word line Contact,WL Contact)停留在字线导电结构上方还未完成开窗,继续刻蚀时晶体管有源区接触孔就会刻蚀到有源区内部,产生尖刺效应(spiking)。
如图1、图3a、图3b、图3c、图4a-4c、图5a-5c所示,在一个实施例中,提供一种半导体器件的制作方法,包括:

具体为,在衬底表面涂覆光刻胶,然后对光刻胶进行曝光显影后露出字线接触部之外的字线导电薄膜(即将器件的阵列区(array区)显影开),未曝光的光刻胶覆盖在字线接触部的字线导电薄膜,起到保护字线接触部的字线导电薄膜的作用。
S110,形成字线导电结构。
以光刻胶112为阻挡层,将未被所述光刻胶覆盖的字线导电薄膜蚀刻至目标高度后得到字线导电结构117,即以光刻胶112为阻挡层对字线导电薄膜108进行减薄后得到字线导电结构117,使得字线接触部114的字线导电结构的厚度大于未被光刻胶112覆盖的字线导电结构的厚度。其中,将未被所述光刻胶覆盖的字线导电薄膜蚀刻至目标高度是指将将未被所述光刻胶覆盖的字线导电薄膜蚀刻到剩余的字线导电薄膜低于衬底表面5纳米以下,只要能实现剩余的字线导电薄膜达到避免字线与位线及其他接触窗等结构产生短路的目的即可。
