Description

Method for improving shape of phosphorosilicate glass of high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, particularly relates to a high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDP CVD) method, and particularly relates to a method for improving the appearance of phosphorosilicate glass of high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition.
Background
Sub-atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposited borophosphosilicate glass (SACVD BPSG) is widely used as a pre-metal dielectric (PMD) between a metal layer and underlying polysilicon prior to metal deposition. Wherein, P can absorb alkaline ions, B can reduce the glass transition temperature of the BPSG film, so that the BPSG film can be reflowed and flattened at a lower temperature. However, as feature sizes are decreasing, the SACVD BPSG hole filling performance is not satisfactory, i.e., voids may occur during hole filling, which may cause short circuits between subsequent contact hole (contact) filling processes.
High density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDP CVD) has simultaneous deposition and etching functions, and thus has good hole-filling properties. On which SiO is deposited2In the process of (2) adding pH3Gas can be generatedBecome to contain P2O5Is referred to as phosphosilicate glass (PSG). In SiO2Adding P2O5The membrane stress can be reduced, and impurity ions can be effectively fixed. HDP PSG is used for the insulating layer between the metal layer of the small-sized device and the polysilicon underneath it. In addition, the HDP PSG combines the CMP (chemical-mechanical planarization) planarization technology, so that a high-temperature reflow step is not required, and the cost can be reduced. Meanwhile, by adopting high-concentration (8-10%) HDP PSG and combining a self-aligned contact (SAC) process and a high-selectivity etching technology of high-concentration PSG to silicon dioxide, a SAC etching barrier layer is not needed, so that the alignment difficulty of photoetching is reduced, and the feasibility of reducing the size of a device is greatly improved.
Due to the secondary sputtering characteristic of the HDP CVD process, a low P-content shell, called flower pattern, is formed on the channel surface when the high-concentration PSG film 8 is deposited, as shown in fig. 1. When the HDP technology is used to fill a trench structure with a high aspect ratio and a small size (less than 0.25 μm), in order to avoid voids in the hole filling process, a high-power rf bias is used to increase the physical bombardment etching rate of the plasma to obtain a higher etching capability, thereby improving the hole filling performance, but at the same time, the high rf bias increases the bombardment strength, which also leads to increased secondary sputtering, and thus increases the width of the flowerpattern, as shown in fig. 1. Since the content of P in the flower pattern is low, the SAC etching rate is reduced, if the flower pattern is too large, an etching stop phenomenon is caused, and the contact hole 9 cannot be etched through, as shown in fig. 2. Therefore, more advanced PSG processes require optimization of both the hole-filling and the flow pattern.

B. By changing the flow of the etching gas, the phosphorosilicate glass is grown firstly, and then the etching gas etching is carried out to deposit the phosphorosilicate glass film repeatedly and intermittently in multiple steps.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
As shown in fig. 3-7, the method for forming a phosphosilicate glass by high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition according to the present invention specifically comprises the following steps:
firstly, forming a gate electrode on a silicon substrate 1, generally depositing a gate oxide layer 2 on the silicon substrate 1 by adopting a conventional process method, then depositing a polycrystalline silicon layer 3 on the gate oxide layer 2, then depositing a silicon nitride layer 4 on the polycrystalline silicon layer 3, and photoetching and etching the polycrystalline silicon to form a polycrystalline silicon gate electrode, wherein the figure is 3;
secondly, injecting LDD (Light Doped Drain), forming a side wall 5 on the side wall of the gate electrode, preparing silicon nitride by using a conventional chemical vapor deposition process to form the side wall 5, and then forming a silicon nitride side wall 5 by using dry etching, as shown in FIG. 4;
thirdly, performing source-drain injection and rapid thermal annealing; firstly, defining a source-drain pattern by photoetching, and then injecting impurity ions into a source-drain injection region corresponding to the silicon substrate 1 by using an ion injection process to form a source electrode 6 and a drain electrode 7, as shown in FIG. 5;
a fourth step of depositing a phosphosilicate glass PMD layer, i.e., the PSG film 8 of fig. 6, using an HDP-CVD (high density plasma chemical vapor deposition) process, as shown in fig. 6 and 7; an etching gas is introduced to improve the etching capability, the introduced etching gas is any gas capable of reacting with silicon dioxide, and the resultant is a gas such as HF, F2,NF3And the like. The introduced etching gas can participate in the reaction in two ways: (1) source gas (e.g. SiH) for reaction with PSG4Or O2) Simultaneously introducing the film into a machine cavity, and depositing a PSG film 8 in a mode of growing and etching simultaneously; (2) the PSG film 8 is deposited intermittently in a plurality of steps repeatedly by varying the flow rate of the etching gas (the flow rate is 0 to 50sccm) in growth of phosphosilicate glass (the etching gas is off) → etching (the etching gas is on). The etching gas can react with PSG, effectively reduces the film thickness of the side wall of the channel, and reduces the thickness of the side wall of the channelThe hole filling difficulty of the HDP PSG is low, and the HDP PSG gradually grows upwards from the bottom, so that the cavity-free filling can be met under low-power radio frequency bias, and the width of the PSG power pattern is reduced. The deposition rate at the bottom of the trench is faster than the sidewalls due to the selective physical sputtering of HDP. Adding etching gas, such as HF, F, during HDP PSG deposition2,NF3And the PSG can be consumed isotropically, so that the deposition of the PSG on the side wall of the channel can be weakened, the generation of a void due to premature combination is avoided, the PSG in the channel grows upwards from the bottom (as shown in figure 6), and the void-free filling can be met under low-power radio-frequency bias, so that the width of the PSG power pattern is effectively reduced, as shown in figure 7.
Fifthly, the subsequent process comprises self-aligned contact hole etching.
When a small-size channel structure is filled, in order to improve the hole filling performance of HDP PSG, etching gas is introduced in the traditional HDP CVD process, so that under the combined action of selective sputtering etching of radio frequency bias and chemical reaction isotropic etching of the etching gas, the deposition of PSG on the side wall of a channel is weakened, the phenomenon that a cavity is formed due to premature combination is avoided, the PSG in the channel grows upwards from the bottom, the HDP can be filled without the cavity under the low-power radio frequency offset, the secondary sputtering in the deposition process is weakened, the width of the PSG power pattern is controlled, and the method is more beneficial to the corresponding self-aligned contact hole etching.
