根据上述氮化硅层形成的反应过程以及结构与多晶硅层形成的反应过程以及结构可以看出,在氮化硅层的沉积工艺中,由于存在副反应,使得沉积的氮化硅层中含有少量的N-H键结和Si-H键结,而在后续多晶硅层的沉积工艺中,副反应的存在会导致生成的多晶硅薄膜中含有少量的Si-H,根据相似相溶原理,如图5所示,两种结构相似的固体,分子间作用力(范德华力)会变大;因此,含较多的Si-H键结的氮化硅层易于黏附含有Si-H键结的多晶硅;相反,氮化硅层含较多的N-H键结,不宜于黏附含有Si-H的多晶硅层。According to the reaction process and structure of the formation of the silicon nitride layer and the reaction process and structure of the formation of the polysilicon layer, it can be seen that in the deposition process of the silicon nitride layer, due to the existence of side reactions, the deposited silicon nitride layer contains a small amount of N-H bonding and Si-H bonding, and in the subsequent polysilicon layer deposition process, the existence of side reactions will lead to a small amount of Si-H in the resulting polysilicon film, according to the principle of similar miscibility, as shown in Figure 5 , two solids with similar structures, the intermolecular force (van der Waals force) will become larger; therefore, the silicon nitride layer containing more Si-H bonds is easy to adhere to the polysilicon containing Si-H bonds; on the contrary, nitrogen The silicon oxide layer contains more N-H bonds, which is not suitable for adhering to the polysilicon layer containing Si-H.
因此,氮化硅层和多晶硅层的粘附性不好的主要原因是氮化硅层中含有较多的N-H键结,如图4所示,这些N-H键结的存在使得氮化硅层与后续形成在其表面上的多晶硅层两者之间的粘附性变差由于氮化硅层和多晶硅层接触面粘附性较差,在通过气相沉积法在反应腔室中进行薄膜沉积的过程中,由于重力作用下黏附在喷头和反应腔体的壁上的薄膜会出现脱落,从而落在晶圆上形成缺陷。Therefore, the main reason for the poor adhesion between the silicon nitride layer and the polysilicon layer is that the silicon nitride layer contains more N-H bonds, as shown in Figure 4, the existence of these N-H bonds makes the silicon nitride layer and the polysilicon layer The adhesion between the polysilicon layer subsequently formed on its surface becomes poor. Due to the poor adhesion of the interface between the silicon nitride layer and the polysilicon layer, during the process of film deposition in the reaction chamber by vapor deposition In the process, due to the action of gravity, the film adhered to the shower head and the wall of the reaction chamber will fall off, thus falling on the wafer to form defects.
