参考图1,本申请实施例提供一种半导体结构的制作方法,该制作方法至少包括以下步骤:
步骤S101:在基底上形成旋涂硬掩模层,其中,基底内设置有多个间隔设置的有源区,基底上设置有多条间隔设置且沿第一方向延伸的位线,每条位线至少电连接一个有源区,旋涂硬掩模层填充在位线之间并覆盖位线。
参考图2至图4,本申请实施例中的附图中的填充图案仅用于区分该附图中的不同的结构,不用于表示该附图中的各结构的材质。如图2至图4所示,基底100用于支撑形成在基底100上的膜层,例如位线150和旋涂硬掩模层200。
如图2至图4所示,基底100内设置有多个间隔设置的有源区111。各有源区111可以通过浅沟槽隔离112(Shallow Trench Isolation,简称STI)定义出来。具体的,通过刻蚀工艺去除部分基底100至预设深度,以形成环绕多个有源区111的凹槽,再在凹槽内沉积绝缘材料,从而将各有源区111之间隔离。绝缘材料可以为氧化硅或者氮化硅等。
示例性的,基底100可以包括依次层叠设置的衬底110、绝缘层120和阻挡层130。其中,衬底110可以为半导体衬底110,例如硅衬底、锗衬底、硅锗衬底、锗砷衬底、绝缘体上硅(Silicon On Insulator,简称SOI)衬底或者绝缘体上锗(Germanium On Insulator,简称GOI)衬底等。衬底110可以为掺杂或者非掺杂,示例性的,衬底110可以为N型衬底或者P型衬底。

继续参考图2和图3,绝缘层120形成在衬底110上,覆盖有源区111,以对有源区111进行隔离和保护。绝缘层120的材质可以与浅沟槽隔离112中的绝缘材料相同,在沉积绝缘材料形成浅沟槽隔离112后,继续沉积该绝缘材料形成绝缘层120,以简化半导体结构的制作步骤。
阻挡层130形成在绝缘层120上,阻挡层130与位线150相对应。阻挡层130的材质可以为氮化硅或者氮氧化硅,后续可用作刻蚀停止层,减少绝缘层120的刻蚀。阻挡层130和绝缘层120中形成有多个接触孔,各接触孔以暴露有源区111。示例性的,两个接触孔对应一个有源区111,这两个接触孔的每个接触孔暴露有源区111的一端。

继续参考图2和图3,在一些可能的示例中,位线150包括第二导电层151,以及覆盖第二导电层151的第二支撑层152。第二导电层151沿第一方向延伸且与位线插塞140相接触,通过位线插塞140实现位线150与有源区111的电连接。如图2和图3所示,第二支撑层152还可以覆盖第二导电层151之间的基底100。
如图2所示,第二支撑层152内还设置有位于第二导电层151旁侧的氧化物层153,例如,第二导电层151的两侧分别设置有一个氧化物层153,且氧化物层153与第二导电层151不接触。图3中未画出氧化物层153。
其中,如图2所示,位线插塞140的材质可以为多晶硅(poly-silicon),第二导电层151可以为金属层,也可以为金属叠层,例如第二导电层151包括与位线插塞140相接触的氮化钛层,以及位于氮化钛层上的钨层,第二支撑层152可以为氮化物层,例如氮化硅层。沿远离第二导电层151的侧壁的方向,依次为氮化物、氧化物、氮化 物(Nitride-oxide-Nitride,简称NON)。
参考图3和图4,旋涂硬掩模层200(Spin on Hardmask,简称SOH)填充在位线150之间并覆盖位线150。旋涂硬掩模层200可以与位线150的第二支撑层152具有较大的选择比,以在后续刻蚀旋涂硬掩模层200的过程中,第二支撑层152的刻蚀损失较小,从而减少位线150的损失,保证位线150的性能。示例性的,旋涂硬掩模层200与第二支撑层152的选择比大于或者等于5。
步骤S102:去除部分旋涂硬掩模层,形成多条间隔设置且沿第二方向延伸的第一沟道。
干法刻蚀或者湿法刻蚀去除部分旋涂硬掩模层200(参考图4),形成多条间隔设置且沿第二方向延伸的第一沟道。第二方向与第一方向具有角度,例如第二方向与第一方向垂直。形成第一沟道后,旋涂硬掩模层200被第一沟道分隔成多块。
可以理解的是,每条第一沟道包括位于位线上方且沿第二方向延伸的第二沟槽,以及位于相邻位线之间且与第二沟槽连通的填充孔。即形成第一沟道的过程中,位线上方的旋涂硬掩模层200中形成了第二沟槽,位线之间的旋涂硬掩模层200中形成了填充孔,第二沟槽与位于第二沟槽下方的填充孔相连通。
步骤S103:在第一沟道内形成第一牺牲层,第一牺牲层填充于第一沟道内。
参考图5和图6,在第一沟道内沉积第一牺牲层220,第一牺牲层填充满第一沟道。示例性的,通过化学气相沉积(Chemical Vapor Deposition,简称CVD)、物理气相沉积(Physical Vapor Deposition,简称PVD)或者原子层沉积(Atomic Layer Deposition,简称ALD)等工艺形成第一牺牲层220,第一牺牲层220的材质可以为氧化物,例如氧化硅,以便于后续去除。
步骤S104:去除第一牺牲层之间的旋涂硬掩模层,形成第二沟道。
参考图7,形成第一牺牲层220后,刻蚀去除第一牺牲层220之间的旋涂硬掩模层200。可以理解的是,旋涂硬掩模层200分两次去除,第一次去除部分旋涂硬掩模层200后形成第一沟道,第二次去除剩余的旋涂硬掩模层200后形成第二沟道230。第二沟道230的形状与第一沟道的形状大致相同。
步骤S105:在第二沟道内形成第一支撑层,第一支撑层填充于第二沟道内。
参考图7和图8,在第二沟道230内沉积第一支撑层240,第一支撑层240填充满第二沟道230。第一支撑层240的材质可以与位线150的第二支撑层152的材质相同,均为绝缘材料,例如氮化硅。
步骤S106:去除第一牺牲层,并将位于相邻位线之间的第一沟道延伸至有源区。
参考图8至图11,刻蚀去除第一牺牲层220,示例性的,利用酸性刻蚀剂湿法去 除第一牺牲层220,第一牺牲层220相较于第一支撑层240具有较大的选择比,以减少第一支撑层240的损伤。去除第一牺牲层220后,第一沟道210暴露。如图11所示,位于相邻位线150之间的第一沟道210还延伸至有源区111,以在第一沟道210内暴露有源区111。
在一种可能的实施例中,基底100包括依次衬底110、设置在衬底110上的绝缘层120,以及设置在绝缘层上的阻挡层130,衬底110内设置有多个有源区111,绝缘层120覆盖有源区111。相应的,去除第一牺牲层220,并将位于相邻位线150之间的第一沟道210延伸至有源区111具体包括:
参考图8至图10,刻蚀第一牺牲层220,以暴露第一沟道210,每条第一沟道210包括位于位线150上方且沿第二方向延伸的第二沟槽211,以及位于相邻位线150之间且与第二沟槽211连通的填充孔212。如图9和图10所示,沿第二方向延伸的第二支撑层152和沿第一方向延伸的第一支撑层240围合成上述填充孔212。
参考图11,再沿第一沟道210的填充孔212刻蚀绝缘层120,以使填充孔212暴露有源区111。如图11所示填充孔212贯穿绝缘层120,并延伸至有源区111,以使有源区111暴露在填充孔212内,便于有源区111与形成在填充孔212内的导电柱250电连接。需要说明的是,当第二支撑层152还覆盖基底100时,填充孔212还贯穿第二支撑层152,即填充孔212贯穿第二支撑层152和绝缘层120,并延伸至有源区111。
综上,本申请实施例中的半导体结构的制作方法,通过形成填充在位线150之间并覆盖位线150的旋涂硬掩模层200,利用旋涂硬掩模层200与位线150(参考图2)较高的选择比,从而减少后续刻蚀时位线150远离基底100的部分的损失,保证位线150的性能。
在一些可能的示例中,参考图12至图17,去除部分旋涂硬掩模层,形成多条间隔设置且沿第二方向延伸的第一沟道(步骤S102)可以包括以下步骤:
步骤S1021:在旋涂硬掩模层上形成依次层叠设置的中间层和含硅抗反射层,含硅抗反射层具有多个间隔设置且沿第二方向延伸的第一沟槽。
参考图12,中间层300可以通过沉积工艺形成在旋涂硬掩模层200上,并覆盖旋涂硬掩模层200。含硅抗反射层400(SiARC)通过沉积工艺形成在中间层300上,并覆盖中间层300。当然,含硅抗反射层400也可以通过旋涂工艺形成在中间层300上。其中,中间层300的材质可以为非晶碳(Amorphous Carbon Layer,简称ACL)。含硅抗反射层400的硬度较高,在刻蚀含硅抗反射层400的第一沟槽410或者其他结构时不易坍塌和变形,刻蚀后所形成的图案精度也较好。
如图12所示,第一沟槽410形成在含硅抗反射层400中且数量为多条,多条第一 沟槽410间隔设置并沿第二方向延伸。第一沟槽410可以贯穿含硅抗反射层400,也可以不贯穿含硅抗反射层400。如图12所示,第一沟槽410的槽底位于含硅抗反射层400,即第一沟槽410形成在含硅抗反射层400远离基底100的上部,并在后续利用第一沟槽410在含硅抗反射层400的下部中形成第一刻蚀槽,第一刻蚀槽的宽度小于第一沟槽410的宽度,且第一刻蚀槽的密度大于第一沟槽410的密度,以使半导体结构的特征尺寸进一步缩小,提高半导体结构的集成度。
步骤S1022:在第一沟槽的侧壁上形成第二牺牲层,位于第一沟槽内的第二牺牲层围合成第三沟槽。
具体的,参考图12和13,在第一沟槽410的侧壁和槽底,以及含硅抗反射层400上沉积第二牺牲层420,第二牺牲层420覆盖含硅抗反射层400背离基底100的一侧的表面,即第二牺牲层420为一个整层,以便于第二牺牲层420的形成。第二牺牲层420的材质可以为氧化硅。
步骤S1023:在第三沟槽内形成第一填充层。
继续参考图12和图13,在第三沟槽内沉积第一填充层430,第一填充层430的材质可以为旋涂硬掩模物。在一些可能的示例中,如图13所示,在第三沟槽内,以及第二牺牲层420上沉积第一填充层430。第一填充层430填充在第三沟槽内,且覆盖第二牺牲层420。
参考图14,再去除部分第一填充层430和部分第二牺牲层420,以暴露位于第一沟槽410的侧壁上的第二牺牲层420。具体的,去除位于含硅抗反射层400背离基底100的表面上的第二牺牲层420和第一填充层430,以暴露含硅抗反射层400的表面和位于第一沟槽410侧壁上的第二牺牲层420。例如,通过刻蚀工艺或者平坦化处理工艺去除部分第一填充层430和部分第二牺牲层420。
步骤S1024:去除位于第一沟槽的侧壁上的第二牺牲层,形成第一刻蚀槽。
参考图15,刻蚀第二牺牲层420,形成第一刻蚀槽440。可以理解的是,在刻蚀第二牺牲层420的过程中,也会刻蚀去除部分含硅抗反射层400和第一填充层430。第一刻蚀槽440的槽底暴露含硅抗反射层400。
需要说明的是,继续参照图15,含硅抗反射层400和第一填充层430的选择比不同,刻蚀结束后,含硅抗反射层400与第一填充层430之间具有一定的高度差。示例性的,含硅抗反射层400的刻蚀速率慢于第一填充层430的刻蚀速率,当第二牺牲层420刻蚀去除后,沿高度方向,即沿垂直于衬底10的方向,含硅抗反射层400刻蚀去除的高度较少,第一填充层430刻蚀去除的高度较多。如图15所示,剩余的含硅抗反射层400背离衬底110的表面,高于剩余的第一填充层430背离衬底110的表面。
步骤S1025:沿第一刻蚀槽刻蚀至旋涂硬掩模层,以形成第一沟道。
参考图16和图17,沿第一刻蚀槽440刻蚀含硅抗反射层400、中间层300和旋涂硬掩模层200,在旋涂硬掩模层200中形成第一沟道210。本申请实施例中,利用含硅抗反射层400作为刻蚀图形的转接层,以缩小第一刻蚀槽440的尺寸,且在此过程中没有使用极紫外线(Extreme Ultra Violet,简称EUV)光刻工艺,减少了生产成本。
在一些可能的实施例中,参考图3、图4、图18至图20在旋涂硬掩模层上形成层叠设置的中间层和含硅抗反射层,含硅抗反射层具有多个间隔设置且沿第二方向延伸的第一沟槽的步骤包括:
步骤a:在含硅抗反射层上形成依次层叠设置的第一掩膜层、第二掩膜层和光刻胶层。
参考图3和图4,在含硅抗反射层400上沉积第一掩膜层500,第一掩膜层500覆盖含硅抗反射层400,在第一掩膜层500上沉积第二掩膜层600,第二掩膜层600覆盖第一掩膜层500,并在第一掩膜层500上旋涂(Spin on Coating)、喷涂(Spray Coating)或者涮涂(Brush Coating)等形成光刻胶层700。
示例性的,如图3和图4所示,第一掩膜层500包括设置在含硅抗反射层400上的第一基础层510,以及设置在第一基础层510上的第一抗反射层520;第二掩膜层600包括设置在第一抗反射层520上的第二基础层610,以及设置在第二基础层610上的第二抗反射层620。即含硅抗反射层400、第一基础层510、第一抗反射层520、第二基础层610、第二抗反射层620和光刻胶层700沿远离基底100的方向依次层叠设置。
其中,继续参考图3和图4,光刻胶层700为图案化后的光刻胶(Photo Resist,简称PR)层,即光刻胶层700通过曝光、显影等工艺形成有预设图案。光刻胶层700暴露有部分第二抗反射层620。第二抗反射层620可以吸收用于光刻胶层700曝光时的光线,从而减少或者防止光线在第二抗反射层620发生反射,以提高光刻胶层700的预设图案的准确性。第一基础层510的材质与第二基础层610的材质相同,第一抗反射层520和第二抗反射层620的材质相同,以减少半导体结构的制作过程中所用到的材料的种类。示例性的,第一基础层510和第二基础层610的材质可以为旋涂硬掩模组合物,第一抗反射层520和第二抗反射层620的材质可以为氮氧化硅。
步骤b:以光刻胶层为掩膜,刻蚀第二掩膜层,第二掩膜层内形成多条间隔设置且沿第二方向延伸的第一中间槽。
参考图4和图18,以光刻胶层700为掩膜,刻蚀第二掩膜层600,第二掩膜层600中未被光刻胶层700覆盖的部分去除,第二掩膜层600中被光刻胶层700覆盖的部分 保留。第二掩膜层600中形成多条间隔设置且沿第二方向延伸的第一中间槽630,第一中间槽630贯穿第二掩膜层600,以暴露第一掩膜层500。如此设置,光刻胶层700中的预设图案转移到第二掩膜层600,第二掩膜层600中形成第一中间槽630。
步骤c:在第一中间槽的侧壁和槽底,以及第二掩膜层上沉积第三牺牲层,位于第一中间槽内的第三牺牲层围合成第二中间槽。
参考图18和图19,在第一中间槽630的侧壁和槽底,以及第二掩膜层600上沉积第三牺牲层640,例如,通过原子层沉积工艺形成第三牺牲层640,以形成质量较好的第三牺牲层640。第三牺牲层640的材质可以为氧化硅。
步骤d:去除位于第二掩膜层顶部以及第二中间槽底部的第三牺牲层,保留位于第一中间槽侧壁的第三牺牲层。
参考图20,通过刻蚀工艺去除位于第二掩膜层600顶部以及第二中间槽650底部的第三牺牲层640,保留位于第一中间槽630侧壁的第三牺牲层640。刻蚀后,第二掩膜层600和第一掩膜层500暴露。即通过沉积并回刻,形成位于第一中间槽630的侧壁的第三牺牲层640。
步骤e:以保留的第三牺牲层为掩膜,刻蚀第二掩膜层、第一掩膜层和含硅抗反射层,以形成第一沟槽。
参考图20和图12,刻蚀去除位于第三牺牲层640之间的第二掩膜层600、第一掩膜层500和含硅抗反射层400,在含硅抗反射层400内形成第一沟槽410。形成第一沟槽410后,去除含硅抗反射层400上的其他膜层,以暴露含硅抗反射层400。
需要说明的是,在旋涂硬掩模层上形成层叠设置的中间层和含硅抗反射层,含硅抗反射层具有多个间隔设置且沿第二方向延伸的第一沟槽还可以通过其他方式形成,在另一些可能的示例中,其包括以下步骤:
步骤a’:在含硅抗反射层上形成依次层叠设置的第一掩膜层、第二掩膜层和光刻胶层。
步骤b’:以光刻胶层为掩膜,刻蚀第二掩膜层,第二掩膜层内形成多条间隔设置且沿第二方向延伸的第一中间槽。
步骤c’:在第一中间槽的侧壁和槽底,以及第二掩膜层上沉积第三牺牲层,位于第一中间槽内的第三牺牲层围合成第二中间槽。
该示例中的步骤a’,步骤b’,步骤c’分别可以参照上文示例中的步骤a,步骤b,步骤c,在此不再赘述。
步骤d’:在第二中间槽和第三牺牲层上形成第二填充层。
通过沉积工艺形成第二填充层,第二填充层填充满第二中间槽且覆盖第三牺牲层。 第三填充层的材质可以为旋涂硬掩模组合物。
步骤e’:去除部分第二填充层和部分第三牺牲层,以暴露位于第一中间层的侧壁上的第三牺牲层。
示例性的,通过平坦化处理工艺,去除位于第二掩膜层背离基底的表面上的部分第二填充层和部分第三牺牲层,以暴露该表面以及位于第一中间层的侧壁上的第三牺牲层。
步骤f’:刻蚀第三牺牲层、第一掩膜层和含硅抗反射层,以形成第一沟槽。
刻蚀第三牺牲层,以及位于第三牺牲层下方的第一掩膜层和含硅抗反射层,含硅抗反射层内形成第一沟槽。在刻蚀过程中,含硅抗反射层上方的膜层也会被去除至少部分。剩余的膜层可以通过刻蚀工艺单独去除,去除剩余的膜层后,含硅抗反射层暴露。
需要说明的是,在旋涂硬掩模层上形成层叠设置的中间层和含硅抗反射层,含硅抗反射层具有多个间隔设置且沿第二方向延伸的第一沟槽的不同示例中,光刻胶层的图案不同,以保证最终形成的第一沟槽的位置相同。
本申请实施例中,通过自对准双重图形化(Self-Aligned Double Patterning,简称SADP)工艺在含硅抗反射层400内形成第一沟槽410,所形成的第一沟槽410的特征尺寸减少,密度增加。此外,后续在含硅抗反射层400中形成第一刻蚀槽440过程中,在再一次进行自对准双重图形化工艺,使得第一刻蚀槽440的特征尺寸进一步减少,密度进一步增加,从而进一步提高了后续形成的半导体结构的集成度。
在本申请一种可能的示例中,参考图12至图14,在第一沟槽的侧壁和槽底,以及含硅抗反射层上沉积第二牺牲层,相应的,在第三沟槽内形成第一填充层的步骤包括:
参考图13,在第三沟槽内,以及第二牺牲层420上沉积第一填充层430。如图13所示,第一填充层430填充在第三沟槽且覆盖第二牺牲层420,即第一填充层430背离基底100的表面高于第二牺牲层420背离基底100的表面。
参考图14,去除部分第一填充层430和部分第二牺牲层420,以暴露位于第一沟槽410的侧壁上的第二牺牲层420。如图14所示,通过平坦化处理去除部分第一填充层430和部分第二牺牲层420,含硅抗反射层400和第二牺牲层420暴露出来。
本申请实施例中,形成第一沟道后,在第一沟道内形成第一牺牲层的步骤包括:在第一刻蚀槽内和第一沟道210内沉积第一牺牲层220。参考图21,第一牺牲层220填充在第一沟道210和第一刻蚀槽内,且还可以覆盖在中间层300或者含硅抗反射层400。可以理解是,在刻蚀旋涂硬掩模层200形成第一沟道210的过程中,含硅抗反射 层400也会被刻蚀去除部分。当含硅抗反射层400未被完全去除时,第一牺牲层220覆盖含硅抗反射层400,当含硅抗反射层400被完全去除时,中间层300暴露,第一牺牲层220覆盖中间层300。
需要说明的是,在所述第一沟道内形成第一牺牲层的步骤之后,还包括:去除位于所述旋涂硬掩模层上方的中间层、第一牺牲层和含硅抗反射层,以暴露所述旋涂硬掩模层。参考图22,通过平坦化工艺去除位于旋涂硬掩模层200上方的其他膜层,以暴露旋涂硬掩模层200,便于后续去除旋涂硬掩模层200。
在本申请一些可能的示例中,去除第一牺牲层,暴露第一沟道,第一沟道的填充孔延伸至有源区的步骤之后,还包括:在填充孔内形成导电柱,导电柱电连接有源区。
参考图10、图23至图25,导电柱250与有源区111相接触而实现导电柱250与有源区111的电连接。每个填充孔212内设置有一个导电柱250,且各导电柱250之间互不连接。衬底110内设置有有源区111和字线113,字线113与有源区111绝缘设置,且与导电柱250错开。示例性的,字线113穿过有源区111的中间区域,导电柱250与有源区111的端部区域电连接。
具体的,参考图11、图23和图24,在填充孔212内形成导电柱250,导电柱250电连接有源区111可以包括:
在第一沟道210内和第一支撑层240上沉积第一导电层251,第一导电层251填充在第一沟道210内且覆盖第一支撑层240,第一导电层251与有源区111电连接。如图11和图23所示,第一导电层251填充在第一沟道210内,并覆盖第一支撑层240。第一导电层251的材质可以为多晶硅。
形成第一导电层251后,刻蚀第一导电层251,保留位于填充孔212内的部分第一导电层251,保留的第一导电层251形成多个导电柱250。如图11和图24所示,去除位于位线上部的第一导电层251,以及位于填充孔212上部的第一导电层251,保留位于填充孔212底部的第一导电层251。保留的第一导电层251被第一支撑层240和位线隔离成多个导电层,各导电柱250之间间隔设置且互不相连。具体的,如图24所示,至少去除位于位线的第二支撑层152之上的第一导电层251,以将第一导电层251隔离成多个导电层。
需要说明的是,在填充孔212内形成导电柱250,导电柱250电连接有源区111的步骤之后,还包括:在导电柱250上沉积保护层260,保护层260覆盖导电柱250。参考图25,在导电柱250上沉积保护层260,保护层260覆盖导电柱250远离基底100的表面。保护层260的材质可以为氮化物,例如氮化硅。保护层260的厚度较薄,例如,保护层260可以减少或者避免导电柱250暴露在空气中而被氧化。
