DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a semiconductor device having a capacitance element, and more particularly to a semiconductor device having a ferroelectric capacitance and a high dielectric constant capacitance and a method of manufacturing the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, ferroelectric memories using ferroelectric capacitors, dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) using high dielectric constant capacitors, and the like have been actively researched and developed. These ferroelectric memory and DRAM
Has a selection transistor, and stores information using a capacitor connected to one diffusion layer of the selection transistor as a memory cell. Ferroelectric capacitor is composed of Pb
A ferroelectric thin film such as (Zr, Ti) O ₃ (hereinafter, referred to as “PZT”) is used, and nonvolatile information can be stored by polarizing the ferroelectric. On the other hand, a high dielectric constant capacitor is composed of (Ba, Sr) TiO
₃ (hereinafter, referred to as “BST”), the use of a high dielectric constant thin film makes it possible to increase the capacitance of the capacitance and to make the element finer.

In order for such a ferroelectric capacitor and a high dielectric constant capacitor to function, it is necessary to electrically connect one electrode of the capacitor to the diffusion layer of the selection transistor as described above. .

Conventionally, in a DRAM, polysilicon connected to one diffusion layer of a select transistor is used as one electrode of a capacitor, and a SiO ₂ film or a Si ₃ N ₄ film is formed on the surface of the polysilicon as a capacitor insulating film. Is generally formed as a capacitor. However, since ferroelectric thin films and high dielectric constant thin films (hereinafter referred to as “ceramic thin films”) are oxides, if they are formed directly on the surface of polysilicon, the polysilicon is oxidized. Cannot be formed.

A technique for forming a capacitor is described.

That is, in the conventional formation of a ferroelectric memory and a DRAM, as described above, a method of forming a metal wiring after forming a capacitor has been adopted.

[0009]

However, the memory cell structure in which the capacitance is connected to the diffusion layer by a local wiring or a polysilicon plug as described above has the following problems.

The first problem is that it is difficult to form a multilayer metal wiring.

A ferroelectric memory or DRAM using a ferroelectric thin film or a high dielectric constant thin film is more highly integrated.
In order to realize a semiconductor device in which a logic circuit and such a memory are mixed, it is necessary to form a multilayer metal wiring. When forming a multilayer metal wiring, an insulating film between metal wiring layers is planarized by a chemical mechanical polishing method (CMP method) or the like.

However, due to the formation of the capacitance, the height difference between the cell array portion having the capacitance and the logic circuit portion having no capacitance becomes large, and it is difficult to connect the wiring layer by the flattening and the flattened contacts and vias. There is a problem that becomes.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-92794 aims to reduce the level difference between a cell and its peripheral circuit and to form a multilayer wiring having a small wiring resistance in the peripheral circuit.
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor memory is disclosed.

In this manufacturing method, the electrode of the cell capacitor and the wiring other than the cell region are simultaneously formed. Noble metals such as Pt are usually used for electrodes of capacitors using ceramic thin films, but these noble metals are difficult to process, and
Since the wiring has high resistance, it is difficult to use it as a wiring other than the cell region.

A second problem is that the design cost for realizing a semiconductor circuit in which a logic circuit and a memory are mixed is increased.

The reason for this is that the process and device of the logic circuit must be changed due to the first problem described above, so that the existing design parameters cannot be used.

A third problem is that the electrical characteristics of the capacitor deteriorate in the process of forming the multilayer metal wiring.

In a multilayer metal wiring, a tungsten plug is usually formed in a via connecting between metal wirings, and tungsten (W) is formed by a reaction represented by the following formula.

2WF ₆ + 3SiH ₄ → 2W + 3SiH ₄ + 6H ₂ That is, tungsten (W) is formed in a very strong reducing atmosphere. Since the ceramic thin film is an oxide, when exposed to a reducing atmosphere, oxygen vacancies occur. Therefore, a decrease in resistance (as a result, an increase in leakage current),
There is a problem in that the amount of ferroelectric polarization decreases, the dielectric constant decreases, and other electrical characteristics deteriorate.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-199679 proposes a structure of a semiconductor device which avoids a reducing atmosphere and allows deep contact holes to be embedded. In this semiconductor device, a plug contact made of a heat-resistant metal is formed in an opening reaching a diffusion layer of a storage circuit portion and a diffusion layer of a CMOS circuit portion, and then a ferroelectric capacitor is formed. Aluminum wiring is formed for the contact.

However, to realize such a structure of the semiconductor device, a complicated manufacturing process is required.
Although the structure of this semiconductor device can be applied to the first-layer metal wiring, a tungsten film needs to be formed in a via connecting the second-layer metal wiring and the first-layer metal wiring. Therefore, for multilayer metal wiring,
It cannot be a solution.

The fourth problem is that the threshold value (Vt) of the transistor varies and the sub-threshold characteristic deteriorates.

The plasma in plasma etching
The interface state or fixed charge generated in the gate oxide film of the MOS transistor due to damage or the like causes variation in the threshold value (Vt) of the transistor or deterioration of the subthreshold characteristic.

As a method for improving these, annealing in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere (hydrogen annealing) has been conventionally performed. However, in a semiconductor device having a capacitor using a ceramic thin film, as described in the third problem, if such annealing is performed after the capacitor is formed, the electrical characteristics of the capacitor deteriorate. Therefore, such annealing cannot be performed after the formation of the capacitor.

Therefore, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-111318
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. H11-163873 discloses a technique of providing a hydrogen barrier film such as Si ₃ N ₄ on a capacitor. According to this technique, by providing a hydrogen barrier film on a capacitor, diffusion of hydrogen into the capacitor is prevented, and thus deterioration of the capacitor in a reducing atmosphere is prevented.

However, in this technique, the number of steps for forming and processing the hydrogen barrier film is increased, which causes a new problem of an increase in the number of steps and an increase in manufacturing cost.

Moreover, when this technology is applied to a more highly integrated and miniaturized device, the hydrogen barrier film also needs to be made thinner. However, reducing the thickness of the hydrogen barrier film causes a problem that the hydrogen barrier property becomes insufficient.

On the other hand, with the recent increase in the scale and speed of semiconductor devices and miniaturization of elements, reduction in variations in transistor characteristics has become increasingly important.

The fifth problem is that if a metal wiring and a contact for connecting the metal wiring and the substrate are formed after the capacitor is formed as in the conventional case, the deterioration of the capacitance characteristic and the connection of the capacitor to another element are formed. This causes an increase in wiring resistance.

Usually, when a contact for connecting a metal wiring and a substrate is formed, ion implantation is performed after opening the contact in order to reduce the resistance between the metal wiring and the substrate. Therefore, after ion implantation,
It is necessary to perform a heat treatment at a temperature of about 700 ° C. or higher for ion activation.

However, if such a high-temperature heat treatment is performed after the formation of the ceramic thin film capacitor, the ceramics, the electrodes, and the wirings cause mutual reaction and mutual diffusion. Therefore, as described above, the deterioration of the capacitance characteristics and the increase of the wiring resistance occur.

As a method for solving the deterioration of the capacitor due to the high temperature heat treatment after the formation of the capacitor, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
No. 85187 describes a method of manufacturing a semiconductor memory device in which a capacitor is formed after forming a metal wiring. According to this manufacturing method, the contact connecting the storage electrode of the capacitor and the diffusion layer of the substrate is opened after the formation of the metal wiring, and then the capacitor is connected to the substrate by forming the storage electrode.

However, in such a structure, when the metal wiring has two or more layers, the contact hole becomes extremely deep, and it is extremely difficult to form a storage electrode of a capacitor therein. Accompanied by

Due to the above problems, a ferroelectric memory using a multilayer metal wiring structure or a ceramic thin film capacitor D
RAM has not been implemented yet.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems in a conventional semiconductor device having a capacitor, and a ceramic thin film that can easily form a multilayer metal wiring and does not cause deterioration of the capacitor. It is an object to provide a semiconductor device using a capacitor.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device which can realize a chip in which a logic circuit and a memory using a ceramic thin film capacitor are mounted at low cost.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device using a ceramic thin film capacitor and having good transistor characteristics.

Preferably, at least one metal wiring is further formed on the upper part of the ceramic thin film capacitor.

Thus, a multi-layered metal wiring can be further formed. In particular, in multilayer metal wiring in recent large-scale LSIs, wiring in the upper layer generally has a larger wiring width and space between the wirings than the wiring in the lower layer. Therefore, even if a ceramic thin film capacitor is formed between the metal wiring layers, the resulting step does not adversely affect the formation of the upper metal wiring.

With this configuration, the margin between the contact above the capacitor and the capacitor can be increased. The ceramic thin film capacitor can be formed in various forms.

Further, according to this method, after forming the multilayer metal wiring, the ceramic thin film capacitor is formed.
There is no need to form a via with a tungsten plug after the formation of the ceramic thin film capacitor. Therefore, the capacity of the ceramic thin film does not deteriorate due to tungsten CVD. Further, since the contact between the metal wiring and the substrate is also formed before the formation of the ceramic thin film capacitor, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the ceramic thin film capacitance and the increase in wiring resistance due to activation after the contact injection.

As described above, the structure below the second metal wiring 10 of the memory cell 32 in this embodiment is exactly the same as that of an LSI having no ordinary ceramic thin film capacitor. Therefore, it can be manufactured in the same manufacturing process as the LSI.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, a ferroelectric memory or a DRAM using such a memory cell 32 is used.
An advantage is brought about that a semiconductor device in which the conventional logic circuit and the ordinary logic LSI are mounted together on a single chip can be realized at low cost by using an existing logic circuit.

The required characteristics are different between the cell transistor 31 of a memory cell used in a ferroelectric memory or a DRAM and the transistor of a normal logic circuit. Therefore, the cell transistor 31 may have a different structure from the transistor of the logic circuit. For example, since a voltage higher than the operating voltage of the memory circuit is generally applied to the word line 33, the gate film may need to be thicker than the transistors of other logic circuits. The formation of transistors having different structures on the same substrate as described above is generally performed, for example, as described in Nikkei Microdevices, March 1995, p. 55. It can be realized using a process.

These methods include forming a contact 6 with a tungsten plug or the like and then forming and processing a first metal wiring 7, and forming an interlayer insulating film 5 between the contact 6 and the first metal wiring 7. After that, there is a dual damascene method in which a metal is buried, and then the excess metal is removed to form the contact 6 and the first metal wiring 7 simultaneously.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5C, a second interlayer insulating film 8 is formed and flattened.
A via 9 and a second metal wiring 10 are formed thereon. Via 9
The second metal wiring 10 is formed in the same manner as the contact 6 and the first metal wiring 7.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5 (D), after forming the third interlayer insulating film 11, a capacitor lower contact 12 is formed on the second metal wiring 10 by a tungsten plug or the like in the same manner as the contact 6. At this time, it is desirable to remove the tungsten on the surface by the CMP method. This is because the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 to be formed later can be formed on a completely flat surface.

After that, annealing is performed in an atmosphere containing hydrogen. The annealing temperature is preferably from 300 ° C. to 500 ° C. If the temperature is lower than 300 ° C., the effect of improving the transistor characteristics is small, and if the temperature is higher than 500 ° C., the metal wires 7 and 10 may be disconnected.

The above process is the same as a normal LSI process having no ceramic thin film capacitor. No change or addition of a special process for connecting the ceramic thin film capacitor to the diffusion layer 4 is made.

Next, the ceramic thin film capacitor 3 is formed on the third interlayer insulating film 11 so as to be connected to the capacitor lower contact 12.
0 is formed. The ceramic thin film capacitor 30 is formed by the following procedure.

First, as shown in FIG. 6E, Pt, I
A lower electrode 13 made of a noble metal such as r or Ru or a conductive oxide such as IrO ₂ or RuO ₂ is formed on the third interlayer insulating film 11 by a sputtering method or another method.

In this case, a barrier film made of TiN or the like is formed below these noble metal or conductive oxide layers in order to prevent mutual reaction and mutual diffusion of Pt and the like of the lower electrode 13 with tungsten of the capacitor lower contact 12. Is preferred.

Next, Pb (Zr,
Ti) O ₃ (PZT), (Ba, Sr) TiO ₃ (BS
A ceramic thin film 14 made of T), SrTiO ₃ (ST) or the like is formed by a CVD method or the like.

In the case of forming PZT, heating at 600 ° C. or higher is required to obtain a good PZT thin film by a usual sol-gel method or sputtering method. At such a high temperature, disconnection of the metal wiring and an increase in the resistance are caused, so that it cannot be applied to this structure. Therefore, it is desirable to form a film at a low temperature of about 500 ° C. as in the CVD method.

The PZT thin film can form a good film at a temperature of 350 ° C. to 500 ° C. by the CVD method. In addition, the ST film is made of, for example, International Electron Devices Meeting Technical Digest (International electr
on devices meeting techni
cal digest) 1994 pp. 831, 450 ° C. by the ECR-CVD method.
Can be formed.

The upper electrode 15 is formed on the ceramic thin film 14 formed by the above method by the same method as the lower electrode 13.

Thereafter, the upper electrode 15, the ceramic thin film 1
4 and the lower electrode 13 are processed by etching. Thus, the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 as shown in FIG. 6E is formed.

Further, after forming the fourth interlayer insulating film 16 on the ceramic thin film capacitor 30, the capacitor upper contact 1
7. Open 7 holes. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6F, the third metal wiring 18 to be the plate line 34 is formed in the same manner as the first and second metal wirings 7, 10.

The third metal wiring 18 is used only as the plate line 34, and is not used in other logic circuit portions. Therefore, in the logic circuit section, there is no change in the device by forming the memory cell array section using the ceramic thin film capacitor 30. This third
A passivation film (not shown) made of SiON or the like is formed on metal wiring 18.

The plate line 34 is usually connected to the inverter of the plate line drive circuit at the end of the cell array. Hereinafter, a method of connecting the third metal wiring 18 used as the plate line 34 to the diffusion layer 4 will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a structure for connecting the third metal wiring 18 (plate line 34) to the diffusion layer 4.

As shown in FIG. 7, the plate line contact 19 penetrates through the fourth interlayer insulating film 16 and reaches the second metal wiring 10 in the third interlayer insulating film 11. The third metal wiring 18 is directly connected to the second metal wiring 10 at the plate line contact 19, and is connected to the diffusion layer 4 via the via 9, the first metal wiring 7 and the contact 6. Such a structure can be manufactured as follows.

First, after forming the fourth interlayer insulating film 16 on the ceramic thin film capacitor 30, the plate line contact 1
9 and the capacitor upper contact 17 are opened. After that, the third metal wiring 18 is formed. Thus, the contact with the upper electrode 15 and the contact with the second metal wiring 10 can be formed simultaneously.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing another example of a structure for connecting the third metal wiring 18 (plate line 34) to the diffusion layer 4.

As shown in FIG. 8, a plate line contact 19 reaching the surface of the third interlayer insulating film 11 is formed in the fourth interlayer insulating film 16. The third metal wiring 18
It is connected to the second metal wiring 10 via the second via 20, and further connected to the diffusion layer 4 via the via 9, the first metal wiring 7 and the contact 6. Such a structure can be manufactured as follows.

When forming the capacitor lower contact 12, the second via 20 is formed at the same time. Then, after forming the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 and the fourth interlayer insulating film 16,
The plate line contact 19 is opened. After that, the third metal wiring 18 is formed. Thus, the upper electrode 1
5 and the second metal wiring 10 can be formed simultaneously.

The third metal wiring 1 is formed by the above two methods.
If the connection between 8 and diffusion layer 4 is formed, it is not necessary to use CVD of tungsten after forming ceramic thin film capacitor 30, and deterioration of ceramic thin film capacitor 30 does not occur.

In the present embodiment, the process of forming the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 after the formation of the multilayer metal wiring is adopted. Is not disturbed.

Further, there is no need to form a tungsten plug structure or a contact between the metal wiring and the substrate after the formation of the ceramic thin film capacitor 30. Therefore, tungsten-
The ceramic thin film capacitive element is not deteriorated by the CVD and the activation heat treatment.

Further, after forming the multilayer wiring,
Since the hydrogen annealing is performed before the formation of the ceramic thin film capacitor 30, the variation in the threshold value Vt of the transistor can be reduced, and the deterioration of the ceramic thin film capacitor does not occur.

In this embodiment, a plug wiring for connecting the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 and the selection transistor 31 is formed at the same time as the formation of the multilayer metal wiring.
Therefore, the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 and the selection transistor 3
There is no need to provide a separate plug to connect
Another advantage is that the manufacturing process can be simplified.

The above-described first embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to the case where a ceramic thin film capacitor is formed on a two-layer metal wiring. Can be applied. Even in such a case, the ceramic thin film capacitor can be formed after the formation of the multilayer metal wiring in the same manner as in the present embodiment.

In the first embodiment described above, the third metal wiring 18 is the uppermost metal wiring, but a multilayer metal wiring can be further formed thereon.

In recent large-scale LSIs, a multi-layered metal wiring in which a local wiring connecting adjacent elements is formed by a lower metal wiring and a so-called global wiring such as a power supply line is formed over a wide area by an upper metal wiring. The structure of is adopted. In such a case, the wiring width and the space between the wirings in the upper metal wiring are generally larger than those in the lower metal wiring. Therefore, even if a ceramic thin film capacitor is formed between the upper and lower metal wirings, the resulting step does not adversely affect the formation of the upper metal wiring.

Further, if the upper metal wiring is formed by a method such as sputtering or plating that does not create a strong reducing atmosphere, the capacity of the ceramic thin film does not deteriorate.

Next, a specific example in which the present embodiment is applied to a ferroelectric memory will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, the silicon substrate 1 was wet-oxidized.
An oxide film 2 was formed thereon. Thereafter, impurities such as boron and phosphorus were ion-implanted into the silicon substrate 1 to form n-type and p-type wells. Thereafter, the gate 3 and the diffusion layer 4 were formed as follows.

First, after a gate oxide film was formed by wet oxidation, a polysilicon film for forming the gate 3 was formed and etched. After forming a silicon oxide film on the polysilicon film, etching was performed to form a sidewall oxide film.

Next, impurities such as boron and arsenic were ion-implanted to form n-type and p-type diffusion layers 4.

Further, after a Ti film was formed thereon, it was reacted with silicon, and unreacted Ti was removed by etching, thereby forming Ti silicide on the gate 3 and the diffusion layer 4.

Through the above steps, n-type and p-type MOS transistors were formed on the silicon substrate 1 as shown in FIG.

Next, the first metal wiring layer 7 and the second metal wiring layer 10 were formed as follows.

First, as the first interlayer insulating film 5, a silicon oxide film and a silicon oxide film (B
(PSG) was formed on the silicon substrate 1 and then planarized by the CMP method.

Next, after the contact 6 was opened by etching, impurities were implanted into the n-type and p-type diffusion layers 4 and heat treatment was performed at 750 ° C. for 10 seconds.
After that, Ti and TiN were formed as barrier metals. After tungsten was formed thereon by CVD, the tungsten on the surface was removed by CMP. Thereafter, a film of AlCu was formed as the first metal wiring 7 by sputtering and processed by etching.

After a silicon oxide film was formed as a second interlayer insulating film 8 on the first metal wiring 7 by a CVD method, it was planarized by a CMP method. Via 9 is contact 6
5C, the second metal wiring 10 was formed by the same method as the first metal wiring, as shown in FIG. 5C.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5D, after the third interlayer insulating film 11 was formed, the capacitor lower contact 12 was formed in the same manner as the contact 6. Then 5% hydrogen,
Annealing was performed at a temperature of 400 ° C. for 20 minutes in an atmosphere of 95% nitrogen.

Next, a method of forming the ferroelectric capacitor 30 will be described.

First, as the lower electrode 13, a 50-nm-thick TiN film and a 100-nm-thick Pt film were formed by sputtering in this order. Pt is preferably used at a temperature of 300 ° C. or higher because the crystallinity is improved.

After that, the ferroelectric thin film 1 is formed on the lower electrode 13.
As No. 4, PZT was formed by a CVD method.

Raw materials include lead bisdipivaloyl methanate lead (Pb (DPM) ₂ ), titanium isopolopoxide (Ti
(OiPr) ₄ ), zirconium butoxide (Zr (O
tBu) ₄ ), and NO ₂ as an oxidizing agent.

These organic metal raw materials and the oxidizing agent were supplied into the reaction chamber from separate supply ports. The film forming conditions are as follows: the substrate temperature is 400 ° C., and the total pressure of the gas in the film forming chamber is 5 × 10 ⁻³ To

CCM, Ti (OiPr) ₄ flow rate 0.25 SCCM,
NO ₂ was deposited at a flow rate of 3.0 SCCM for 40 seconds. As a result, fine core crystals of PbTiO ₃ were formed on the lower electrode 13.

Thereafter, Pb (DPM) ₂ was supplied at a flow rate of 0.25.
SCCM, Zr (OtBu) ₄ flow rate 0.225SCC
M and Ti (OiPr) ₄ were formed at a flow rate of 0.2 SCCM and NO ₂ at a flow rate of 3.0 SCCM for 600 seconds, and a film thickness of 1
A 00 nm PZT film 14 was obtained.

Thereafter, under an atmosphere of 100% oxygen, 40
Annealing was performed at a temperature of 0 ° C. for 10 minutes. By performing annealing before forming the upper electrode 15, PZ
The electrical characteristics of the T capacitance can be improved.

On the PZT film 14, as the upper electrode 15, IrO _{2 having a} thickness of 50 nm and Ir having a thickness of 100 nm were formed in this order by a sputtering method.

Thereafter, the upper electrode 15, the PZT film 14, and the lower electrode 13 were processed by etching, and further annealed at a temperature of 400 ° C. for 10 minutes in an atmosphere of 100% oxygen to obtain a PZT capacitor 30. .

When annealing is further performed after the upper electrode 15 is formed, the dependence of the electric field of the PZT capacitor 30 on the application direction is reduced, and symmetric hysteresis characteristics can be obtained.

After a silicon oxide film was formed as the fourth interlayer insulating film 16 by O ₃ TEOS-CVD, the capacitor upper contact 17 and the plate line contact 19 were opened by etching.

Next, the PZT capacitor 30 is formed by etching.
Annealing was performed at a temperature of 400 ° C. for 10 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere in order to recover the deterioration.

As the third metal wiring 18, WSi, Ti

On this, a passivation film (not shown)
Silicon oxide film and SiO by plasma CVD
After forming the N film, a polyimide film was further formed.
Thereafter, the wiring pad portions were opened, and the electrical characteristics were evaluated. The results are shown below.

When 5000 PZT capacitors of 1 μm square were connected in parallel and their characteristics were measured, a value of 10 μC / cm ² or more was obtained as a difference between inversion and non-inversion charges, showing good ferroelectric characteristics. Was. The fatigue characteristics and retention characteristics were also good.

When the characteristics of a transistor having a gate length of 0.26 μm were evaluated, the variation of the threshold value Vt was 10% or less over the entire surface of both the p-type and n-type transistors, which was good.

Further, the resistance between the lower electrode 13 connected through the 0.4 μm square capacitance lower contact 12 and the second metal wiring 10 was measured by a contact chain, and the resistance per contact was found to be: 10 Ω or less, which was good.

(Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of a memory cell of a ferroelectric memory or a DRAM according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of a portion where a plate line is connected to a second metal wiring at an end thereof.

In the present embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the upper electrode 15 of the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 has a smaller area than the ceramic thin film 14 and the lower electrode 13. With the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 having such a structure, the ceramic thin film 14 and the lower electrode 1 are formed.
3, the upper electrode 15 and the lower electrode 1
3 can be prevented from short-circuiting at the capacitor side wall.

The third metal wiring 18 is connected to the lower electrode 13
And the second metal wiring 1 via the capacitor lower contact 12
0 is connected. By adopting such a structure,
The capacitor upper contact 17 and the plate line contact 19 have substantially the same depth, and it is easy to form them simultaneously. Further, since the same type of conductor can be used for the upper electrode 15 and the lower electrode 13 to which the third metal wiring 18 is connected, there is an advantage that the contact resistance for each of them can be easily controlled.

Next, a method of manufacturing the memory according to the present embodiment will be described.

The process up to the formation of the upper electrode 15 on the ceramic thin film 14 is exactly the same as in the first embodiment. After that, the upper electrode 15 is processed by etching. At this time, the plate line contact 1 shown in FIG.
In region 9, the upper electrode is removed by etching. Thereafter, a fourth interlayer insulating film 16 is formed, and further, a capacitor upper contact 17 and a plate line contact 19 are opened, and then a third metal wiring 18 is formed.

(Third Embodiment) Next, FIGS.
4, a ferroelectric memory or a DRAM according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 11 is a plan view showing a memory cell of a ferroelectric memory or a DRAM according to the present embodiment. The structure below the first metal wiring is the same as the structure shown in FIG. FIG. 12 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 are cross-sectional views of a portion connecting the plate line to the second metal wiring at the end.

The third embodiment is similar to the first embodiment in that a ceramic thin film capacitor is electrically connected to a diffusion layer by a plug structure in which a metal wiring and a via are connected. The structure of the thin film capacitor and its manufacturing method are different from those of the first embodiment.

The ceramic thin film capacitor 3 in this embodiment
Reference numeral 0 denotes a plurality of lower electrodes 13 formed at intervals on the third interlayer insulating film 11 as shown in FIG. 12, and a ceramic thin film covering the entire surface of both the third interlayer insulating film 11 and the lower electrode 13 14 and the upper electrode 1 formed on the ceramic thin film 14 so as to cover at least a part of the lower electrode 13.
It consists of five. The upper electrode 15 also serves as the plate line 34 in FIG.

Since the ceramic thin-film capacitor 30 has such a structure, it is not necessary to form a contact with the plate line 34 on the ceramic thin-film capacitor 30, so that the structure of the ceramic thin-film capacitor is simplified and the device can be miniaturized. Can be easily performed.

By forming the lower electrode 13 in a three-dimensional shape such as a rectangular parallelepiped or a cylinder, the effective area of the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 can be increased without increasing the cell area.

Next, a method for manufacturing a memory according to the present embodiment will be described.

The manufacturing method for the structure other than the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 is the same as the method described in the first embodiment. Therefore, only the method of manufacturing the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 will be described below.

After forming the lower capacitor contact 12,
The lower electrode 13 is formed on the third interlayer insulating film 11 by a sputtering method or the like, and is processed by etching. In order to obtain a good ceramic thin film 14, the processed lower electrode 13
It is necessary to keep the surface of the substrate clean so that no etching residue remains. Therefore, it is desirable to wash the surface of the lower electrode 13 with an organic solvent or the like after the etching. On the lower electrode 13, a ceramic thin film 14, such as PZT or BST, is formed by a CVD method or the like.

As shown in FIG. 13, when the upper electrode 15 functioning as the plate line 34 is connected to the second metal wiring 10, the plate line contact 19 is opened after the formation of the ceramic thin film 14.

In FIG. 13, the plate line contact 19 penetrates through the ceramic thin film 14 and reaches the inside of the third interlayer insulating film 11, but the ceramic thin film 14
Etching may not be performed under the same conditions as the interlayer insulating film 11. In such a case, it is desirable to remove the ceramic thin film 14 around the plate line contact 19 by etching in advance.

Next, after the upper electrode 15 is formed by sputtering or the like, it is processed by etching to form the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 and the plate line 34. A passivation film (not shown) is formed thereon.

As shown in FIG. 14, the upper electrode 15 can be connected to the second metal wiring 10 via the lower electrode 13. In this case, after the ceramic thin film 14 is formed, the plate line contact 19 is opened, the upper electrode 15 is formed thereon, and then processed by etching.

In both of the above two methods, the ceramic thin film 14 needs to be etched before the upper electrode 15 is formed. However, particularly in the case of a ferroelectric memory, the interface between the electrode and the ferroelectric film greatly affects the electrical characteristics of the capacitor. Therefore, as a method of removing the resist after etching the ceramic thin film 14,
A method of peeling with an organic solvent instead of ashing is preferable because it does not damage the ceramic thin film 14.

Further, in order to easily remove the resist, it is preferable that the plate line contact 19 is also opened by wet etching.

[0202] Instead of such a method, as in the first embodiment, the upper electrode 15 via the third metal interconnection 18 is provided.
Can be connected to the second metal wiring 10.

In this embodiment, since the ceramic thin film 14 is formed after the lower electrode 13 is processed, the ceramic thin film 14 and the third interlayer insulating film 11 thereunder react with each other, or the elements constituting the ceramic thin film 14 Undesirable effects such as diffusion into the third interlayer insulating film 11 may occur. In such a case, it is preferable to provide a diffusion barrier film (not shown) on the third interlayer insulating film 11. As the diffusion barrier film, an insulating metal oxide such as TaO ₂ , TiO ₂ , or ZrO ₂ is preferable because of good adhesion to the ceramic thin film 14.

In this embodiment, the upper electrode 1
5 is used as the plate line 34, the upper electrode 15
Depending on the material, the resistance of the plate wire 34 may increase. In particular, in a ferroelectric memory, it is common to drive a plate line for writing / reading of a memory cell, so that the plate line 34 needs to have a sufficiently low resistance. In such a case, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 15B, the plate backing wiring 23 (not shown in FIG. 15B since it is directly below the plate line 34) may be used. Plate-backed wiring 23
Since the plate line 34 can be formed of a low-resistance metal, the resistance of the plate line 34 can be sufficiently reduced.

Next, a specific example in which the present embodiment is applied to a ferroelectric memory will be described with reference to FIG.

The manufacturing process prior to the formation of the ferroelectric capacitor 30 is the same as that in the example of the first embodiment.

A PZT capacitor was manufactured on the third interlayer insulating film 11 by the following method.

First, as the lower electrode 13, a thickness of 50 nm
Of TiN, 50 nm of Pt, and 50 nm of Ir were formed in this order by sputtering. After a resist was applied thereon, patterning was performed, and the lower electrode 13 was etched using Ar and Cl ₂ as reaction gases. Thereafter, the resist was removed by ashing, and further, a cleaning treatment was performed with a mixed solution of dimethyl sulfoxide and water.

On top of this, a 200 nm thick PZT thin film 1
4 was formed in the same manner as in the example of the first embodiment. However, the deposition time of PZT was 1200 seconds.

Next, after applying and patterning a resist on the PZT thin film 14, the PZT film 14 is wet-etched with hydrofluoric nitric acid to form a plate line contact 19.
Was formed.

Thereafter, the resist was stripped off using an organic solvent, and the resist was removed at a temperature of 400 ° C. in an atmosphere of 100% oxygen.
The annealing was performed for minutes.

Next, the upper electrode 15 is formed on the PZT film 14.
50 nm thick IrO ₂ and 100 nm thick I
r was formed in this order by a sputtering method.

Thereafter, 40% oxygen atmosphere is used.
Anneal at a temperature of 0 ° C. for 10 minutes to obtain a PZT capacity of 3
0 was set.

As the fourth interlayer insulating film 16, a silicon oxide film was formed by O ₃ TEOS-CVD. An SiON film was formed thereon by plasma CVD as a passivation film (not shown), and then a polyimide film was further formed. Finally, the wiring pad portion was opened.

By the above method, a cell array in which about 16,000 memory cells shown in FIG. 3 were integrated, and a ferroelectric memory including a sense amplifier, a decoder, and the like were manufactured. It has been confirmed that this ferroelectric memory operates at a power supply voltage of 2.5 V and a cycle time of 100 nsec or less.

(Fourth Embodiment) Next, a ferroelectric memory or a DRAM according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15A is a plan view of the memory cell before the second metal wiring is formed, and FIG. 15B is a plan view omitting devices formed before the first metal wiring 7 other than the diffusion layer 4. It is. FIG.
FIG. 16 is a sectional view taken along line CC in FIG.

In this embodiment, the ceramic thin film capacitor 30
The structure of the metal wiring and the via in the plug that connects to the diffusion layer 4 is different from that of the first embodiment. That is,
In the first embodiment, the capacitor lower contact 12 is formed immediately above the via 9. However, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. They are arranged at regular intervals in the direction. That is, the capacitor lower contact 12 is not formed immediately above the via 9.

Depending on the process of forming the vias 9 and the second metal wirings 10, dents and the like may occur in the second metal wirings 10 on the vias 9. The capacitor lower contact 1 is formed on the uneven second metal wiring 10 having the dent.
If the second and second vias 20 are formed, good electrical connection may not be obtained. For this reason, in such a case, it is desirable to form the capacitor lower contact 12 and the like at a position separated from the via 9 by a certain distance, not directly above the via 9 as in the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 16, the lower capacitor contact 12 is not located at the center of the ceramic thin film capacitor 30. Further, the capacitor upper contact 17 connecting the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 and the third metal wiring 18 is not disposed immediately above the capacitor lower contact 12. By arranging the capacitor lower contact 12 and the capacitor upper contact 17 in this way, even if a dent or the like occurs on the capacitor lower contact 12, the characteristics of the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 are not adversely affected. Further, the electrical connection between the third metal wiring 18 and the upper electrode 15 is not adversely affected. Also, the cell area is not increased.

The memory according to the present embodiment can be manufactured by the same method as the memory according to the first embodiment.

The structure above the second contact 21 is the same as the structure shown in FIG. FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view taken along line DD of FIG.

In the present embodiment, in the plug for connecting the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 and the diffusion layer 4, the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 and the first metal wiring 7 are not connected.
The second metal wiring 10 and the diffusion layer 4 are directly connected via the second contact 21.

In the first embodiment, since the first metal wiring 7 is used for both the capacitor plug connecting the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 and the diffusion layer 4 and the bit line, the capacitor plug and the bit line are not connected to each other. It is necessary that one metal wiring 7 is separated by an interval that can be processed by etching. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the first metal wiring 7
Is used only as the bit line 35, the capacitor plug and the bit line do not need to be separated from each other at the above-described intervals, and therefore, the cell area can be reduced.

Next, a method for manufacturing a memory according to the present embodiment will be described.

First, as in the first embodiment, the first metal wiring 7 and the second interlayer insulating film 8 are formed. However,
No contact for connecting the capacitor is formed. next,
The second contact 21 is opened by etching. Thereafter, a barrier metal such as Ti or TiN is formed.
Since the contact 21 has a particularly large aspect ratio,
It is desirable to form a film by a film forming method with good embedding property such as collimator sputtering or CVD method.

Next, a tungsten plug is formed in the same manner as when the contact 6 is formed. Second contact 2
Vias for the first and other multi-layer metal wirings can be formed simultaneously. The second metal wiring 10 is formed on the second contact 21 thus formed. The subsequent steps are the same as in the first embodiment.

2, the second metal wiring 10 is connected to the diffusion layer 4 via the via 9 and the contact 6.

In this embodiment, as in the fifth embodiment, the first metal wiring 7 is connected to the bit line 3 in the cell.
Since only 5 is used, the cell area can be reduced. In addition, unlike the fifth embodiment, the second contact 21 is not used, so that the manufacturing process can be simplified.

Next, a method for manufacturing a memory according to the present embodiment will be described.

As in the first embodiment, the first interlayer insulating film 5
Form up to. Next, the first metal wiring 7 is formed, but the first metal wiring 7 of the capacitor plug is not formed (that is, the first metal wiring 7 is not formed on the diffusion layer 4 as shown in FIG. 19).

Next, after forming the second interlayer insulating film 8 on the first interlayer insulating film 5 and the first metal wiring 7, the via 9 is opened by etching.

In a multi-layer metal wiring other than a memory cell, the second interlayer insulating film 8 is etched only up to the first metal wiring 7, but in a memory cell, it is over-etched up to the first interlayer insulating film 5.

Next, a tungsten plug is formed in the same manner as when the contact 6 is formed. The second metal wiring 10 is formed on the via 9 thus formed. The subsequent steps are the same as in the first embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the silicide wiring 22 is used as the bit line 35, and the first metal wiring 7 is used only in the plug connecting the ceramic thin film capacitor 30 and the diffusion layer 4. Therefore, as in the fifth embodiment, the cell area can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the first metal wiring 7
And the second metal wiring 10 are used as a backing wiring for the word line 33.

FIG. 22 is a circuit diagram showing the connection between the backing wiring and the word line 33. FIG. 23 is a plan view of the connection between the first metal wiring 7 and the word line 33.

The word line 33 has high resistance because it is mainly made of polysilicon. Therefore, it is common practice to lower the resistance of the word line 33 by backing a low-resistance metal wiring to the word line 33. Such a backing wiring usually uses a one-layer metal wiring. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the word lines 33 are backed without increasing the cell area by using two layers of metal wirings as backing wirings.

Further, as shown in FIG. 22, the array connected to the word line 33 is divided into two, and the metal wiring to be lined is divided into an array having a symmetrical structure to reduce noise.

Next, a method for manufacturing a memory according to the present embodiment will be described.

First, as in the first embodiment, a transistor section is formed on a silicon substrate 1. After forming an interlayer insulating film (not shown), a contact 6 is opened,
The silicide wiring 22 is formed of WSi or the like. A first interlayer insulating film 5 is formed on this interlayer insulating film, and then a second contact 21 is opened on the diffusion layer 4. Subsequent processes are the same as in the first embodiment.

[0243]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The ceramic thin film capacitor is connected to the diffusion layer via a plug having a structure in which a via and a metal wiring formed simultaneously with the formation of the multilayer metal wiring are stacked. Therefore, a semiconductor device using a ceramic thin film capacitor that can easily form a multilayer metal wiring based on such a basic structure and does not cause deterioration of the capacitor element can be provided.

The reason is that since the ceramic thin film capacitor is formed after the formation of the multilayer metal wiring, the height difference due to the ceramic thin film capacitance does not hinder the formation of the multilayer metal wiring.

Further, since there is no need to form a contact between the metal wiring and the substrate or to form a via with a tungsten plug after the formation of the ceramic thin film capacitor, there is no deterioration of the ceramic thin film capacitance.

By performing hydrogen annealing after the formation of the multilayer metal wiring and before the formation of the ceramic thin film capacitor, the deterioration of the transistor can be reduced.

Further, according to the present invention, there is provided a semiconductor device in which a memory using a ceramic thin film capacitor and a large-scale logic circuit are mixed on the same chip at low cost. This is because the ceramic thin film capacitor can be formed without any change in the process device of the logic circuit portion, and the existing design parameters can be used.
