Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for etching a silicon-containing film and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the same, and more particularly, to a method for performing high aspect ratio etching on a multi-layered body of silicon-containing films having different compositions; It relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including the etching method.
- a series of processes such as deposition, exposure, and etching are performed. These processes are performed in a deposition apparatus (eg, a CVD apparatus), an exposure apparatus, an etching apparatus, and the like.
- the double etching process is a process of forming an ultra-fine structure having a desired pattern by selectively removing the thin film formed on the substrate by the deposition process along the pattern formed by the exposure process.
- a technique of vertically stacking the cells of the semiconductor memory is applied.
- NAND flash memory 128 or more memory cells are stacked as a unit for storing data (such a NAND flash memory is also called a 3D NAND flash memory), and the number of stacking stages of the memory cells is a NAND flash. It is predicted that it will become larger as the memory becomes more highly integrated or high-capacity.
- silicon-containing films in which silicon-containing films of different components (eg, silicon nitride (Si x N y ) and silicon oxide (SiO 2 )) are alternately stacked for stacking memory cells

- silicon-containing films In order to form high-aspect-ratio holes in multiple stacks of silicon-containing films, silicon-containing films have a high etch selectivity with respect to an etch mask (eg, photoresist or hardmask), while the silicon-containing films of different components make up the multi-stack. It is required that the containing films have a similar etch rate (ie, similar etch selectivity for silicon containing films of different components to each other) and an overall high etch rate. In addition, a phenomenon in which a hole having a high aspect ratio is blocked by an etching by-product or a bowing phenomenon should not occur.
- an etch mask eg, photoresist or hardmask

- the stage 50 may include a fixing means (eg, an electrostatic chuck, etc.) capable of fixing the substrate S during the etching process.
- radicals When the plasma P is generated, components such as radical ions, electrons, and ultraviolet rays are generated from the etching gas. At least one of these radicals, ions, electrons, and ultraviolet rays may be used for etching. Radicals are electrically neutral and ions are electrically polar. Accordingly, when the plasma P is used in the etching process, radicals anisotropically etch an etched object by chemical etching, and ions anisotropically etch an etched object by physical etching.
- the etching apparatus 1 of FIG. 1a has a structure for connecting RF power to the shower head 20, but the etching apparatus 1 is not limited thereto.
- an RF power supply or a DC bias power supply may be additionally connected to the stage 50 as shown in FIG. 1B .

- FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an etching method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the etching method of the present invention shown in FIG. 2 is an etching gas for etching high-aspect-ratio holes (openings) in a multi-layered body including a first silicon-containing film and a second silicon-containing film having a different composition therefrom, fluorine ( F), a first etching gas having nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) atoms, but not containing carbon (C) atoms, and a second etching gas having at least carbon (C) and fluorine (F) atoms It is characterized by being used together.
- the first etching gas preferably has fluorine (F), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O) atoms, and is a gas capable of generating at least F radicals and NO radicals when activated by plasma.
- the first etching gas is preferably a gas that does not contain carbon (C) atoms so as not to form a fluorocarbon-based (CF x ) corrosion-resistant polymer film during the etching process.
- the first etching gas is, in particular, F 3 NO.
- the first etching gas is activated by the plasma and functions as a source of F radicals.
- the F radical is an active species that etches both the silicon nitride layer as the first silicon-containing layer and the silicon oxide layer as the second silicon oxide layer, and etches both the silicon nitride layer and the silicon oxide layer at a high etch rate.
- the first etching gas is activated by the plasma and functions as a source of NO radicals.
- the NO radical lowers the etch reaction energy of the silicon nitride layer by the F radical, and thus serves to relatively increase the etching rate of the silicon nitride layer by the F radical.
- the etching rate of the silicon oxide film by the F radical is higher than the etching rate of the silicon nitride film, but the NO radical does not decrease the etching rate of the silicon oxide film by the F radical, while the etching rate of the silicon nitride film is relatively increased. , it is possible to reduce the difference in the etch rates of the silicon nitride film and the silicon oxide film by the F radical, thereby making the etch selectivity between them close to 1 (ie, the etch rates are similar).
- the silicon nitride film as the first silicon-containing film and the silicon oxide film as the second silicon-containing film have a selectivity ratio (Si x N y /SiO While 2 ) is close to 1, both silicon-containing films can be etched at a high etch rate.

- the waste gas after the etching process contains an undecomposed perfluoride material in a very high composition ratio, and since these perfluoride etching gases are stable materials and exist for a very long time in the atmosphere, the waste gas is treated below the emission limit to the atmosphere. It should be discharged into the middle, and this required a lot of treatment cost.
- F 3 NO is easily decomposed in an acid or alkaline aqueous solution, and thus waste gas treatment cost can be greatly reduced.
- the second etch gas is activated by plasma to etch a high aspect ratio hole in a multiple stack of silicon nitride and silicon oxide, which can form a fluorocarbon-based (CF x ) polymer on the sidewalls of the holes.
- a system gas (C x H y F z ) is preferred.
- the fluorocarbon-based polymer formed on the sidewall of the hole and the hardmask (eg, an amorphous carbon-based hardmask) by such a fluorinated hydrocarbon-based gas functions as a kind of protective layer, so that the sidewall by ions in localized regions of the hole sidewall It is possible to prevent etching or bowing and prevent damage to the hardmask to keep the width of the hole constant throughout the depth direction of the hole (that is, to make the vertical profile of the hole good), and to prevent deformation after hole etching.
- the fluorinated hydrocarbon-based (C x H y F z , x is 2 to 4, y is 0 to 4, z is 4 to 8) gas as the second etching gas has a C/F ratio (x/z; the number of carbon atoms and fluorine It is preferable that ratio of the number of atoms) is 0.5 or more. Accordingly, by relatively promoting the formation of the fluorocarbon-based polymer that occurs in competition with the etching reaction, it is possible to effectively reduce the shape deformation of the hole in the high aspect ratio etching.
- x is preferably 2 to 4 or less.
- the C/F ratio is preferably 4 or less.
- x is 2-4, and the C/F ratio is 0.5-4. It is preferable to use a gas-based system, and it is more preferable to use a fluorinated hydrocarbon-based gas in which x is 2 to 4 and the C/F ratio of fragments (radicals) decomposed by plasma is 1.

- tetrafluorobutane (C 4 H 6 F 4 ) having a larger carbon content (x) is used as the fluorinated hydrocarbon-based gas

That is, when argon gas is used together, ion collisions increase and the etching rate and anisotropy by physical etching are improved, and the Ar + ion beam breaks bonds between silicon atoms in the silicon-containing film, thereby reducing the reaction of the etching gas with active species. Since the activation energy is lowered, the chemical etching rate by the active species may also be improved.
