Embodiment
The method for preparing oxide-film at channel bottom of the present invention, be used at the thicker oxide-film of channel bottom preparation, utilize existing technology (see figure 2) after substrate (can be silicon chip, also can be the silicon epitaxy layer on the silicon chip) is gone up etching formation groove, comprising following steps:
1) in groove the grow liners oxide-film as the resilient coating of the following deielectric-coating that will grow, this liner oxide film is used to prevent that deielectric-coating may be to the stress damage of silicon substrate on it, generally thinner, it is influential to the beak length of step 4 back bottom oxide film, this film is thick more, beak long more (100-500 dust usually).
2) somatomedin film and then on silicon chip, specifically can be silicon nitride layer, make substrate top surface and trench wall all be deposited with silicon nitride layer, the thickness of this silicon nitride film is also influential to the beak length of step 4 back bottom oxide film, this film is thin more, beak long more (1000-3000 dust usually) (see figure 3).
3) utilize back quarter that the silicon nitride layer of channel bottom is removed (in returning the process of carving, the silicon nitride in step 2 deposit that is arranged in the substrate top is removed simultaneously), form the silicon nitride side wall at trenched side-wall, wet etching (utilizes sulfuric acid afterwards, or hydrofluoric acid etc.) liner oxide film of channel bottom is removed, utilize isotropic characteristics of wet etching, the liner oxide film that channel bottom is positioned between silicon nitride side wall-silicon substrate is also removed (this phenomenon also can be described as undercutting), this undercutting is influential to the beak shape and the length of step 4 rear oxidation film, undercutting is many more, beak big more (100-300 dust usually) is referring to Fig. 4.The Hui Keke of silicon nitride layer uses dry etch process.
4) carry out oxidation technology in channel bottom growth bottom oxide film (see figure 5), bottom oxide film can be utilized the thermal oxidation technology growth.Can carry out primary ions at channel bottom as required before thermal oxidation this moment injects, after making channel bottom accept some ions, oxidation rate is accelerated, according to control to oxidization time, can form the oxide layer that needs thickness at channel bottom, because the undercutting of oxide-film is arranged in step 3), therefore it is thicker to be easy to obtain both sides, long beak, not only obtain thick bottom oxide film after making technology finish, and in certain zone of bottom sidewall, obtain the oxide-film thicker than channel region, more a step reduces to make grid-drain capacitance.
5) utilize etching technics to remove the liner oxide film of silicon nitride layer, monox lateral wall and trenched side-wall on the substrate fully, obtaining channel bottom has the structure (see figure 6) of thick bottom oxide film, carry out conventional growth of gate oxide layer and trench fill technology and subsequent technique afterwards, the final structure that forms as shown in Figure 7.
After the etching groove among the present invention, can be deposited with hard mask layer (thickness of the superiors' film of this hard mask layer should be able to guarantee at least also surplus 500 dusts after the oxidizing process of step 4) is finished) on the substrate earlier, can comprise lower floor's oxide layer and upper strata nitration case, in Fig. 3 as seen in step 2) in deposit silicon nitride layer with combine as the upper strata nitration case of hard mask layer.Step 2) silicon nitride layer in can be other deielectric-coating, as long as it can stop beneath substrate oxidation in the thermal oxidation of step 4), and the effect of binding buffer layer, can on silicon substrate, not cause defective to get final product.In the example specific to hard mask layer position lower floor's oxide layer and upper strata nitration case; in the step 4) oxidation technology in the channel bottom silicon oxidation oxygen also enter the nitration case that makes the top layer in the nitration case of upper strata and be oxidized to the nitrogen oxide layer; after oxidation was finished, it was not oxidized with the silicon substrate under protecting to guarantee that at least the upper strata nitration case also remains more than 500 dusts.Silica undercut etch in the step 3) can realize by wet etching, also can realize by isotropic oxide-film dry etching after silicon nitride side wall etching.Thermal oxidation in the step 4) can realize in high temperature furnace pipe, also can be as realizing in the fast oxidative equipment by other.If carrying out ion before the oxidation in step 4) injects, because this injection ion can become a part of device drain at the nubbin of silicon substrate, therefore its inject ionic species (N or P type) will be consistent with prepared device corresponding drain electrode ionic species (be that this injection ion of N type device is N type such as phosphorus, arsenic etc.), its ion injection rate also to guarantee to allow final residual in drain electrode doping content and the concentration of N extension in same magnitude, in order to avoid cause the decline of device BV, and in order to reduce implanted dopant residual in silicon, the ion here injects the general low energy that adopts and injects.As for NMOSFET, the injection energy is 20KEV, the about 10*10 of dosage
12The phosphonium ion of/CM2, the impurity major part of these injections be the thermal oxidation technology silicon that will be consumed below, thereby make the ion that left behind few, and after the subsequent thermal process, its residual fraction does not impact device BV or do not have a substantial influence.Described silicon nitride layer on the substrate in the step 5), silicon nitride side wall and the removal that is positioned at the liner oxide film of trenched side-wall can realize in a step or multistep wet etching, also can be by realizing, or the combination of wet etching and dry etching realize in a step or multistep dry etching.
