The method comprises: using an ion beam etching (IBE) device to emit a first particle beam to etch a metal layer at a first angle under the shielding of a mask, so as to obtain a coarse-etched metal electrode having a grating-like structure, and using the IBE device to emit a second particle beam to etch, at a second angle, under the shielding of the mask, the coarse-etched metal electrode having a grating-like structure, so as to obtain a final metal electrode having a grating-like structure. That is, small-angle etching can be used first to initially open the metal layer to obtain the coarse-etched metal electrode having a grating-like structure, large-angle etching can then be used to modify the top of the metal layer in advance by using the shielding of the mask, and when the mask is gradually consumed, the particle beams can gradually etch to the bottom of the metal layer. In this way, sidewall metal contamination generated by the small-angle etching is effectively removed, and meanwhile, a metal sidewall at a special angle can be formed due to the etching time difference between the top and bottom of the metal layer, so as to obtain the final metal electrode having a grating-like structure, regular morphology, and low roughness.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
为使本申请的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图对本申请的具体实施方式做详细的说明。In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation modes of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
在下面的描述中阐述了很多具体细节以便于充分理解本申请,但是本申请还可以采用其它不同于在此描述的其它方式来实施,本领域技术人员可以在不违背本申请内涵的情况下做类似推广,因此本申请不受下面公开的具体实施例的限制。Many specific details are set forth in the following description to fully understand the present application. However, the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described here. Those skilled in the art can do so without violating the connotation of the present application. Similar generalizations are made, and therefore the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
正如背景技术中的描述,经申请人研究发现,在集成电路(IC,integrated circuit)或微电子工业中,银和金等贵金属薄膜由于具有电阻率低和良好的电迁移电阻,在形成类光栅结构金属电极时展现了巨大的潜力,然而由于这些贵金属的挥发性有限,较难通过反应性等离子体蚀刻形成形貌较好的类光栅结构金属电极,同样,采用湿法刻蚀技术也存在刻蚀形貌不规则,粗糙度高的问题。As described in the background art, the applicant's research has found that in the integrated circuit (IC, integrated circuit) or microelectronics industry, precious metal films such as silver and gold have low resistivity and good electromigration resistance when forming grating-like films. Structural metal electrodes have shown great potential. However, due to the limited volatility of these precious metals, it is difficult to form grating-like structural metal electrodes with good morphology through reactive plasma etching. Similarly, there are also problems with wet etching technology. The corrosion morphology is irregular and the roughness is high.
因此,如何提高制造的类光栅结构金属电极的规则度,减小粗糙度,是本领域需要解决的技术问题。Therefore, how to improve the regularity and reduce the roughness of manufactured metal electrodes with a grating-like structure is a technical problem that needs to be solved in this field.
具体的,如果采用贵金属沉积后蚀刻可以取代当前的大马士革模式,则金属化中的尺寸效应可能会降低,有利于半导体芯片的形成,然而,在常温下,很难通过反应性等离子体蚀刻。例如,在氯基等离子体中刻蚀Ag和Au需要提高温度或增强离子轰击通量/能量,且存在横向钻蚀严重,无法控制侧壁角度,形貌较差等问题;同时湿法刻蚀也面临相同的难题,惰性贵金属难以形成可溶解的盐,即使少量路径可实现,也存在其固有缺陷。例如,在半导体行业常用是碘-碘化钾-水溶液刻蚀金薄膜,虽然能满足对刻蚀速率均匀性、稳定性的要求,但是单纯使用碘-碘化钾-水系刻蚀液刻蚀完后,剩余电镀金薄膜存在金层外观形貌严重不规则,电镀金层粗糙度大的问题,不利于市场化的应用推广及认可度。Specifically, if post-precious metal deposition etching can replace the current Damascene model, the size effect in metallization may be reduced, favoring the formation of semiconductor chips. However, it is difficult to etch by reactive plasma at room temperature. For example, etching Ag and Au in chlorine-based plasma requires increasing the temperature or increasing the ion bombardment flux/energy, and there are problems such as serious lateral undercutting, inability to control the sidewall angle, and poor morphology; at the same time, wet etching We also face the same problem. It is difficult for inert precious metals to form soluble salts. Even if a small number of routes can be achieved, they still have inherent flaws. For example, in the semiconductor industry, iodine-potassium iodide-aqueous solution is commonly used to etch gold films. Although it can meet the requirements for uniformity and stability of the etching rate, after etching with iodine-potassium iodide-aqueous etching solution, the remaining electroplating The gold thin film has serious irregularities in the appearance of the gold layer and large roughness of the electroplated gold layer, which is not conducive to market application promotion and recognition.
为了解决以上技术问题,本申请实施例提供了一种类光栅结构金属电极制 造方法和结构,该方法包括:提供依次层叠的基板、金属层和掩膜版,采用IBE离子束刻蚀设备发射第一粒子束以第一角度在掩膜版的遮掩下刻蚀金属层得到粗刻类光栅结构金属电极,采用IBE离子束刻蚀设备发射第二粒子束以第二角度在掩膜版的遮掩下刻蚀粗刻类光栅结构金属电极以得到最终类光栅结构金属电极,第一角度小于第二角度,第一角度为第一粒子束与基板表面法向所成的角度,第二角度为第二粒子束与基板表面法向所成的角度。即利用掩膜版的遮蔽效应,以及IBE特有的带角度刻蚀,可以先用小角度刻蚀以初步打开金属层得到粗刻类光栅结构金属电极,再用大角度利用掩膜的遮蔽对金属层顶部先行修饰,当掩膜逐渐消耗,粒子束可逐渐刻蚀至金属层底部。这样,既对小角度刻蚀产生的侧壁金属粘污进行有效清除,同时又可因金属层顶部与底部刻蚀时间差,形成特殊角度的金属侧壁,从而得到形貌规则,粗糙度低的最终类光栅结构金属电极。In order to solve the above technical problems, embodiments of the present application provide a method and structure for manufacturing a metal electrode with a grating-like structure.

在本申请实施例中,可以采用IBE技术来对金属层2进行刻蚀,离子束刻蚀技术(IBE,Ion Beam Etching)是20世纪70年代发展起来的一种干法刻蚀工艺技术,其利用离子源发出的带有能量的离子轰击目标材料,使材料表面发生溅射达到去除材料的目的,纯物理轰击的方式使其在难以反应的贵金属刻蚀领域展现出巨大潜力。在刻蚀工艺过程中,刻蚀气体通入石英腔放电室,通过射频线圈激发的高频波电离产生等离子体。离子经栅网引出、聚焦成束,随后被中和器发射出的电子中和为电中性且具有一定能量的粒子束,对载台上的晶圆表面进行轰击,实现刻蚀。离子束刻蚀技术因为其具有良好的各向异性,表面损伤低,可独立控制刻蚀参数和能够对任何材料刻蚀等优点成为衍射光学元件微纳米结构制作工艺流程中重要的高精度图形转移技术。In the embodiment of the present application, IBE technology can be used to etch the metal layer 2. Ion beam etching technology (IBE, Ion Beam Etching) is a dry etching process technology developed in the 1970s. The energetic ions emitted by the ion source are used to bombard the target material, causing sputtering on the surface of the material to remove the material. The purely physical bombardment method shows great potential in the field of precious metal etching that is difficult to react. During the etching process, the etching gas is passed into the quartz cavity discharge chamber and is ionized by high-frequency waves excited by the radio frequency coil to generate plasma. The ions are extracted through the grid, focused into a beam, and then neutralized by the electrons emitted by the neutralizer into an electrically neutral particle beam with a certain energy, which bombards the wafer surface on the stage to achieve etching. Ion beam etching technology has become an important high-precision pattern transfer in the production process of micro-nanostructures of diffractive optical elements because of its good anisotropy, low surface damage, independent control of etching parameters and ability to etch any material. technology.

The second angle is the angle between the second particle beam and the substrate surface. The angle formed by the normal direction of the substrate surface.
在本申请实施例中,为了提高类光栅结构金属电极的规则度,减小其表面的粗糙度,可以采用IBE技术来对金属层2继续进行刻蚀,此时,采用大角度即第二角度进行刻蚀,利用掩膜板3的遮蔽对金属层2顶部先行修饰,当掩膜板3逐渐消耗,第二粒子束可逐渐刻蚀至金属层2底部。这样,既对小角度刻蚀产生的侧壁金属粘污进行有效清除,同时又可因金属层2顶部与底部刻蚀时间差,形成特殊角度的金属侧壁。In the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the regularity of the metal electrode with a grating-like structure and reduce the roughness of its surface, IBE technology can be used to continue etching the metal layer 2. At this time, a large angle, that is, the second angle is used Etching is performed, and the top of the metal layer 2 is first modified using the shielding of the mask 3 . When the mask 3 is gradually consumed, the second particle beam can gradually etch to the bottom of the metal layer 2 . In this way, the metal contamination on the side wall produced by etching at a small angle is effectively removed, and at the same time, a metal side wall with a special angle can be formed due to the difference in etching time between the top and bottom of the metal layer 2 .
当选取的第二粒子束的入射角度合适,使得第二粒子束刚好刻蚀至金属层2与掩膜层3交界处时,随着掩膜层3的消耗,金属层2被刻蚀区域增加。由 于在大角度下,刻蚀区域金属层2速率与小角度有差距,会在刻蚀/未刻蚀交界处形成角度转折,主刻形成角度θ1>修饰形成角度θ2,参见图5所示。When the incident angle of the second particle beam is selected appropriately so that the second particle beam is etched just to the junction of the metal layer 2 and the mask layer 3, as the mask layer 3 is consumed, the etched area of the metal layer 2 increases. . Since at a large angle, there is a difference between the rate of the metal layer 2 in the etching area and that at a small angle, an angle turning will be formed at the interface of etching/non-etching, and the main etching formation angle θ1 > the modification formation angle θ2, as shown in Figure 5.
可以继续对金属层2进行刻蚀,当第二粒子束对金属层2的侧壁修饰时间继续增加,且掩膜板3的高宽比适中时,则会形成类光栅结构金属电极。如图6所示,两侧金属及掩膜不断被消耗,第二粒子束以第二角度在掩膜版3的遮掩下对金属层2继续刻蚀,图6中斜箭头为第二粒子束,其与基板1表面法向所成的角度B即为第二角度。The etching of the metal layer 2 can continue. When the sidewall modification time of the second particle beam on the metal layer 2 continues to increase and the aspect ratio of the mask 3 is moderate, a metal electrode with a grating-like structure will be formed. As shown in Figure 6, the metal and masks on both sides are continuously consumed, and the second particle beam continues to etch the metal layer 2 under the cover of the mask 3 at a second angle. The oblique arrow in Figure 6 indicates the second particle beam. , the angle B formed by it and the normal direction of the surface of the substrate 1 is the second angle.
采用第二角度的第二粒子束不断刻蚀金属层2,两侧金属及掩膜不断被消耗,直至收缩为一点,在一种可能的实现方式中,由于IBE自转影响,金属层2整体表现为金字塔状的线条,并在剖面处展现出等腰三角形形貌,从而形成的最终类光栅结构金属电极规则度高,表面粗糙度小,参见图7所示。在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例提供的最终类光栅结构金属电极的剖面还可以呈等腰梯形的形貌,具体可由本领域技术人员根据实际情况进行调整,本申请实施例在此不作具体限定。The second particle beam at a second angle is used to continuously etch the metal layer 2, and the metal and the mask on both sides are continuously consumed until it shrinks to a point. In one possible implementation, due to the influence of IBE rotation, the overall performance of the metal layer 2 It is a pyramid-shaped line and exhibits an isosceles triangle morphology in the cross-section. The resulting metal electrode with a grating-like structure has high regularity and small surface roughness, as shown in Figure 7.

To obtain the final grating-like structure metal electrode, the first angle is smaller than the second angle, the first angle is the angle between the first particle beam and the normal direction of the substrate surface, and the second angle is the angle between the second particle beam and the normal direction of the substrate surface Angle. That is to say, by using the masking effect of the mask and the unique angular etching of IBE, you can first use a small angle etching to initially open the metal layer to obtain a rough grating-like structure metal electrode, and then use the mask's shielding at a large angle to etch the metal. The top of the layer is modified first, and as the mask is gradually consumed, the particle beam can gradually etch to the bottom of the metal layer. In this way, the sidewall metal contamination produced by small-angle etching can be effectively removed, and at the same time, metal sidewalls with special angles can be formed due to the etching time difference between the top and bottom of the metal layer, thereby obtaining a regular morphology and low roughness. The final grating-like structure metal electrode.
