The lithographic method on a kind of Self-Aligned Refractory silicon compound barrier layer
Technical field
The present invention relates to the lithographic method on a kind of Salicide block (Self-Aligned Refractory silicon compound barrier layer), relate in particular to a kind of lithographic method that can effectively protect Self-Aligned Refractory silicon compound barrier layer.
Background technology
Growing along with integrated circuit technology, the polysilicon live width and between the live width spacing just becoming more and more narrow, in order to satisfy the needs of design, this just requires this tunic of Salicide block to want to accomplish as far as possible thin.But after the Salicide block attenuation, produced two kinds of negative interactions, the one, because Salicide block can produce more pin hole, thereby directly have influence on Salicide block performance; The 2nd, HF (hydrofluoric acid) the corrasion meeting before Salicide (Self-Aligned Refractory silicon compound) forms produces fatal influence to relatively thinner Salicide block, even with the whole flush awaies of Salicide block.
Fig. 1 is that etching technics and the Salicide of the present Salicide block that uses always forms preceding HF etching flow process.In this flow process,, be easy to be corrupted to very thin Self-Aligned Refractory silicide barrier layer through follow-up HF etching owing to be subjected to the influence of the Self-Aligned Refractory silicide barrier layer self character of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method growth.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention provides the lithographic method on a kind of Self-Aligned Refractory silicon compound barrier layer, and it can effectively protect Salicide block.
In order to solve above technical problem, the invention provides the lithographic method on a kind of autoregistration silicon compound barrier layer, which comprises at least following steps: the first step, NMOS, PMOS source are leaked and are injected; Second step, the lithographic method growth on Self-Aligned Refractory silicon compound barrier layer; The 3rd step, gluing; The 4th step, the lithographic method mask light shield on Self-Aligned Refractory silicon compound barrier layer; The 5th step, etching; In the 6th step, dry method is removed photoresist; In the 7th step, wet method is removed photoresist; The 8th step, source, leakage diffusion annealing.
The 5th step, described etching was a wet etching.
Because the present invention is placed into source, this process of leakage diffusion annealing before the preceding HF processing of Salicide growth, utilize the densification of the diffusion annealing of source, leakage to the lithographic method on Self-Aligned Refractory silicon compound barrier layer, alleviated Salicide greatly and formed of the corrasion of preceding HF etching, thereby played the effect of protecting Salicide block Salicide block; In addition, be updated to more simple wet etching, shortened the production cycle of silicon chip greatly by the dry etching of former technology.

Embodiment
As shown in Figure 2, it is the HF etching schematic flow sheet before SaliCide block etching technics of the present invention and silicon compound (Salicide) form, and it may further comprise the steps: the first step, and NMOS, the PMOS source is leaked and is injected; Second step, the lithographic method growth of Salicide block; The 3rd step, gluing; The 4th step, the lithographic method mask light shield of Salicide block; The 5th step, wet etching; In the 6th step, dry method is removed photoresist; In the 7th step, wet method is removed photoresist; The 8th step, source, leakage diffusion annealing.In conjunction with Fig. 1; technological process of the present invention is with the source; leak the HF processing step before before this step of diffusion annealing is placed directly into the Salicide growth; it utilizes the source; leak the densification of diffusion annealing to Salicide block; alleviated Salicide greatly and formed of the corrasion of preceding HF etching Salicide block; digital proof is through the source; the silicon dioxide of the plasma activated chemical vapour deposition of the diffusion annealing of leaking is to l: the etch rate of 100 hydrofluoric acid be without the source leak diffusion annealing plasma activated chemical vapour deposition silicon dioxide about 1/2nd; so; through the source; the Salicide block of the diffusion annealing of leaking more can stand the heart etching before the Salicide growth, thereby has played the effect of protection Salicide block.
In addition, because leak the Salicide block of diffusion annealing through the source more fine and close, pin hole still less, so for the continuous development need of the technology that satisfies integrated circuit, technology of the present invention is existing 1/2nd to 2/3rds with the reduced thickness of Salicide block.Such as a certain silica product with plasma activated chemical vapour deposition as Salicideblock, under existing state of arts, at least need the silicon dioxide of 400~500 dusts could realize the performance of Salicide block, but under the same conditions, when adopting process of the present invention, only need 200~300 dusts just can realize the performance of Salicide block.Along with the attenuate of the thickness of Salicideblock, new technology has been simplified the etching technics of Salicide block, is updated to more simple wet etching by the dry etching of former technology, has shortened the production cycle of silicon chip greatly.Its underlying cause is the attenuate with Salicideblock thickness, and the wet etching that possesses isotropic characteristics is quite little to the etch amount of Salicideblock side, can ignore substantially.
As shown in Figure 3, it is same batch a silicon chip, under the identical situation of other process conditions, adopts the square resistance test result contrast schematic diagram of Salicide block on n type single crystal silicon under process of the present invention and the existing process.Wherein, the square resistance under the existing process of curve 1 expression, curve 2 expressions are the square resistances under the process of the present invention.By curve 1,2 as seen, big or small identical with the square resistance of the Salicide block of the Salicide block of process of the present invention and existing process, but the thickness of the Salicide block of process of the present invention only is 1/2nd to 2/3rds of the Salicide block of existing process.Obviously, the HF processing that source, this process of leakage diffusion annealing are placed into before the Salicide growth can be protected Salicide block before effectively, and the etching technics of simplification Salicideblock.
