Description
본 발명은 반도체 소자의 소자 분리막 형성 방법에 관한 것으로, 상세하게는 반도체 기판의 소자 분리 영역에 STI(Shallow Trench Isolation) 공정을 적용하여 소자 분리막을 형성할 수 있는 반도체 소자의 소자 분리막 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for forming a device isolation film of a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for forming a device isolation film of a semiconductor device capable of forming a device isolation film by applying a shallow trench isolation (STI) process to a device isolation region of a semiconductor substrate. will be.
일반적으로 실리콘 웨이퍼에 형성되는 반도체 장치는 각각의 반도체 소자들을 전기적으로 분리하기 위한 소자 분리막을 포함한다. 특히 반도체 장치가 고집적화되고 미세화 되어감에 따라 각 개별 소자의 크기를 축소시키는 것뿐만 아니라 소자 분리막의 축소에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 이유는 소자 분리막의 형성은 모든 제조 단계에 있어서 초기 단계의 공정으로서, 활성영역의 크기 및 후공정 단계의 공정마진을 좌우하게 되기 때문이다.Generally, a semiconductor device formed on a silicon wafer includes an element isolation film for electrically separating each semiconductor element. In particular, as semiconductor devices have been highly integrated and miniaturized, research on the reduction of device isolation films as well as the size of each individual device is being actively conducted. The reason for this is that the formation of the device isolation layer is an initial step in all manufacturing steps, and depends on the size of the active region and the process margin of the post-process step.
이러한 소자 분리막을 형성하는 공정 중 하나인 STI(Shallow Trench Isolation) 방법은 미세한 폭의 소자 분리막을 형성할 수 있는 장점이 있어 널리 사용되고 있다. STI 방법으로 소자 분리막을 형성하는 공정을 간략하게 설명하면 다음과 같다. 먼저, 반도체 기판상에 소정의 적층막을 형성한 뒤 적층막 상에 하드 마스크 패턴을 형성한다. 그리고, 하드 마스크 패턴을 사용하는 식각 공정으로 적층막과 반도체 기판을 소정 깊이까지 식각하여 트렌치(trench)를 형성한 후, 트렌치에 절연막, 예를 들면 산화막으로 갭필(gap fill)한다. 이때, 한번에 트렌치를 갭필하는 것이 어렵기 때문에 2회 이상 반복적으로 갭필 공정을 실시하여 트렌치를 완전히 갭필할 수 있다. 이후에 적층막 상부에 형성된 절연 물질에 대해 화학적 기계적 연마(Chemical Mechanical Polishing; CMP) 방법으로 제거함으로써 트렌치에 소자 분리막이 형성된다.The shallow trench isolation (STI) method, which is one of the processes for forming the device isolation layer, is widely used because of the advantage of forming a device isolation layer having a fine width. A process of forming the device isolation layer by the STI method will be briefly described as follows. First, a predetermined laminated film is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and then a hard mask pattern is formed on the laminated film. Then, the trench is formed by etching the laminated film and the semiconductor substrate to a predetermined depth by an etching process using a hard mask pattern, and then gap fills the trench with an insulating film, for example, an oxide film. In this case, since it is difficult to gap fill the trench at one time, the gap fill process may be repeatedly performed two or more times to completely gap fill the trench. Subsequently, an isolation layer is formed in the trench by removing the insulating material formed on the stacked layer by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP).
STI 방법은 미세한 폭의 소자 분리막을 형성할 수 있는 장점이 있지만, 반도체 소자가 점차 고집적화되고 초소형화됨에 따라 트렌치의 폭 또한 점차 좁게 형성되어 높은 종횡비를 갖도록 형성해야 하는 추세에 있다. 이에 따라, STI 방법으로높은 종횡비를 갖는 소자 분리막을 형성하는 것이 점차 어려워지고 있다.The STI method has a merit of forming a device isolation film having a fine width, but as the semiconductor devices are increasingly integrated and miniaturized, the trench width is gradually narrowed to form a high aspect ratio. Accordingly, it is increasingly difficult to form device isolation films having a high aspect ratio by the STI method.

The buffer film may be formed of a nitride film. The buffer film may be formed to a thickness of 40 GPa to 100 GPa. A portion of the surface of the buffer layer may be modified into an oxide layer during the process of forming the liner insulating layer. The oxide layer having a portion of the surface of the buffer layer modified therein may be removed during an etching process for the first insulating layer and the liner insulating layer. The buffer layer may be denatured as an oxide layer when the second conductive layer is formed. The etching process for the first insulating film and the liner insulating film may be performed by dry etching or wet etching. The method may further include removing an overhang formed at the trench inlet by an etching process in the process of forming the second insulating layer. The etching process for the overhang may be performed by dry etching or wet etching. The dry etching may be performed by a remote plasma method using NF 3 gas and NH 3 gas. The wet etching may be performed with an etchant containing H 2 SO 4 and an etchant containing HF.
본 발명의 반도체 소자의 소자 분리막 형성 방법에 따르면, 트렌치로 인하여 노출되는 도전막의 표면을 버퍼막이 보호함으로써, 이후 공정에서 도전막의 표면이 산화되거나 식각되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 따라서, 도전막의 표면이 손상되거나 도전막의 폭이 좁아져서 반도체 소자의 성능이 저하되는 문제점을 예방할 수 있다.According to the method of forming a device isolation film of the semiconductor device of the present invention, the buffer film protects the surface of the conductive film exposed by the trench, thereby preventing the surface of the conductive film from being oxidized or etched in a subsequent process. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the problem that the surface of the conductive film is damaged or the width of the conductive film is narrowed, thereby degrading the performance of the semiconductor device.

도 1a 내지 도 1h는 본 발명에 따른 반도체 소자의 소자 분리막 형성 방법을 설명하기 위하여 도시한 소자의 단면도이다.1A to 1H are cross-sectional views illustrating a device for explaining a method of forming a device isolation film of a semiconductor device according to the present invention.
도 1a를 참조하면, 반도체 소자 중 예를 들어 플래시 메모리 소자를 제조하기 위하여, 반도체 기판(102) 상에 스크린 산화막(screen oxide; 도시하지 않음)을 형성하고 반도체 기판(102)에 대해 웰(well) 이온 주입 공정 또는 문턱 전압 이온 주입 공정을 실시한다. 웰 이온 주입 공정은 반도체 기판(102)에 웰 영역을 형성하기 위해 실시하고 문턱 전압 이온 주입 공정은 트랜지스터와 같은 반도체 소자의 문턱 전압을 조절하기 위해 실시한다. 이때, 스크린 산화막(도시하지 않음)은 웰 이온 주입 공정 또는 문턱 전압 이온 주입 공정시 반도체 기판(102)의 계면이 손상되는 것을 방지한다. 이로써, 반도체 기판(102)에는 웰 영역(도시하지 않음)이 형성될 수 있다.Referring to FIG. 1A, a screen oxide (not shown) is formed on a
그리고, 스크린 산화막(도시하지 않음)을 제거한 후, 반도체 기판(102) 상에 터널 절연막(104)을 형성한다. 터널 절연막(104)은 F/N 터널링(Fowler/Nordheim tunneling) 현상을 통해 전자가 통과할 수 있다. 이에 따라, 프로그램 동작시에는 터널 절연막(104) 하단의 채널 영역에서 터널 절연막(104) 상부의 플로팅 게이트로 전자가 이동하고, 소거 동작시에는 플로팅 게이트에서 터널 절연막(104) 하단의 채널 영역으로 전자가 이동할 수 있다. 터널 절연막(104)은 산화막으로 형성할 수 있다.After the screen oxide film (not shown) is removed, the
터널 절연막(104) 상에는 플로팅 게이트용 도전막(106)을 형성한다. 도전막(106)은 프로그램 동작시 전자가 축적되거나 소거 동작시 저장된 전하가 방출될 수 있다. 도전막(106)은 폴리 실리콘으로 형성하는 것이 바람직하다. A floating gate
이어서, 도전막(106) 상에 제1 하드 마스크막(108) 및 제2 하드 마스크막(110)을 형성한다. 제1 하드 마스크막(108)은 도전막(106)과 식각 선택비가 다른 물질막, 예를 들면 질화막으로 형성한다. 제2 하드 마스크막(110)은 제1 하드 마스크막(108) 및 도전막(106)과 식각 선택비가 다른 물질막, 예를 들면 산화막으로 형성한다.Subsequently, a first
도 1b를 참조하면, 제2 하드 마스크막(110) 상에 포토 레지스트 패턴(도시하지 않음)을 형성한다. 그리고 포토 레지스트 패턴(도시하지 않음)을 이용한 식각 공정으로 소자 분리 영역 상의 제2 하드 마스크막(110), 제1 하드 마스크막(108), 도전막(106) 및 터널 절연막(104)을 제거하여 제1 트렌치(도면부호 T1)을 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1B, a photoresist pattern (not shown) is formed on the second
도 1c를 참조하면, 제2 하드 마스크막(110) 상에 형성된 포토 레지스트 패턴(도시하지 않음)을 제거한 뒤, 제1 트렌치(T1)의 표면에 버퍼막(112)을 형성한다. 버퍼막(112)은 후속하는 공정에서 도전막(106)이 산화되거나 식각되는 것을 방지하기 위한 막이다. 버퍼막(112)은 산화막 또는 반도체 기판(102)과 식각 선택비가 다른 물질막, 예를 들면 질화막으로 형성한다. 또한, 버퍼막(112)은 제1 트렌치(T1)의 단차를 유지할 수 있는 두께, 예를 들면 40Å∼100Å으로 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1C, after removing the photoresist pattern (not shown) formed on the second
도 1d를 참조하면, 버퍼막(112)에 대한 이방성 식각 공정으로 제2 하드 마스크막(110)의 상부 및 제1 트렌치(T1; 도 1c 참조) 하부에 형성된 버퍼막(112)을 제거한다. 이때, 터널 절연막(104), 도전막(106), 제1 하드 마스크막(108) 및 제2 하드 마스크막(110)의 측면에 형성된 버퍼막(112)은 잔류한다. Referring to FIG. 1D, the
그리고, 제2 하드 마스크막(110)을 이용한 식각 공정으로 제1 트렌치(T1; 도 1c 참조) 하부의 반도체 기판을 식각하여 제2 트렌치(T2)를 형성한다. 한편, 버퍼막(112)에 대한 이방성 식각 공정과 제2 트렌치(T2)를 형성하는 식각 공정은 동일한 공정 조건으로 한번에 실시할 수도 있다. 이때, 제2 트렌치(T2)의 측벽에 형성된 버퍼막(112)은 식각 공정중에 도전막(106)이 노출되는 것을 방지하여 도전막(106)이 손상되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.The second trench T2 is formed by etching the semiconductor substrate under the first trench T1 (see FIG. 1C) by an etching process using the second
이후에, 식각 공정으로 인하여 손상된 제2 트렌치(T2)의 측벽 및 저면을 치유하기 위하여 제2 트렌치(T2)의 측벽 및 저면의 표면에 월 산화막(도시하지 않음)을 형성하는 공정을 실시한다. 이때, 노출된 버퍼막(112) 표면의 일부가 산화되어 산화막(도시하지 않음)이 형성될 수도 있다.Subsequently, in order to heal the sidewalls and the bottom of the second trench T2 damaged by the etching process, a process of forming a month oxide film (not shown) on the surface of the sidewalls and the bottom of the second trench T2 is performed. In this case, an exposed portion of the surface of the
도 1e를 참조하면, 제2 트렌치(T2)를 포함하는 반도체 기판(102) 상에 제2 트렌치(T2)의 단차를 유지할 수 있는 두께로 라이너 절연막(114)을 형성한다. 즉, 라이너 절연막(114)은 제2 하드 마스크막(110)의 상부와 제2 트렌치(T2)의 측벽 및 저면에 형성된다. Referring to FIG. 1E, the
라이너 절연막(114)은 종횡비가 높은 제2 트렌치(T2)를 절연물질막으로 채우는 공정을 용이하게 하기 위하여, 제2 트렌치(T2)의 일부를 미리 절연물질막으로 채우기 위해 형성한다. 라이너 절연막(114)은 고밀도 플라즈마(High Density Plasma; HDP) 산화막으로 형성할 수 있다.The
한편, 라이너 절연막(114)을 형성하는 공정 중에 제2 트렌치(T2)의 측벽에 형성된 버퍼막(112)은 표면 일부가 산화되어 산화막(112a)으로 변성되며, 버퍼막(112)으로 인하여 도전막(106)의 측벽이 산화되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 즉, 본 발명과 달리 도전막(106)의 측벽에 버퍼막(112)이 형성되지 않았다면, 라이너 산화막(112)을 형성하는 공정 중에 도전막(106) 측벽의 일부가 산화되어 도전막(106)의 폭이 좁아질 수 있다. 이 경우, 도전막(106)의 전하 저장 용량이 감소되고 커플링비(coupling ratio)가 낮아져서 낸드 플래시 소자의 성능이 열화될 수 있다. 또한, 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 미리 도전막(106)의 폭을 목포폭보다 넓게 형성하게 되면 트렌치의 폭이 좁아져서 트렌치에 절연물질막을 매립하는 공정이 어렵게 된다.Meanwhile, during the process of forming the
도 1f를 참조하면, 라이너 절연막(114) 상에 제1 절연막(116)을 형성하여 제2 트렌치(T2; 도 1e 참조)를 제1 절연막(116)으로 매립한다. 제1 절연막(116)은 종 횡비가 큰 제2 트렌치(T2; 도 1e 참조)를 매립하기 용이하도록 흐름성이 좋은 절연막, 예를 들면 SOD(Spin On Dielectric) 산화막으로 형성한다. Referring to FIG. 1F, a first insulating
도 1g를 참조하면, 제1 하드 마스크막(108; 도 1f 참조) 상부에 형성된 제1 절연막(116)과 라이너 절연막(114)에 대해 평탄화 공정을 실시한다. 이때 제2 하드 마스크막(110; 도 1f 참조)이 평탄화 공정중에 함께 제거될 수 있다.Referring to FIG. 1G, a planarization process is performed on the first insulating
그리고, 제2 트렌치(T2) 내부에 형성된 제1 절연막(116) 및 라이너 절연막(114)의 상부에 대해 식각 공정을 실시하여 제2 트렌치(T2)의 하부에만 제1 절연막(116)과 라이너 절연막(114)이 잔류하도록 한다. 이때, 도전막(106)의 측벽에 형성된 버퍼막(112)은 산화막과 식각 선택비가 있는 물질막으로 형성되었기 때문에, 제1 절연막(116)과 라이너 절연막(114)에 대한 식각 공정에서 제거되지 않고 잔류하면서 도전막(106)의 측벽이 노출되어 손상되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.The first insulating
이러한 식각 공정은 건식 식각 또는 습식 식각으로 실시할 수 있다. 건식 식각으로 실시할 때에는 NF3 가스와 NH3 가스를 이용하는 리모트 플라즈마(remote plasma) 방법으로 실시할 수 있다. 습식 식각으로 실시할 때에는 H2SO4를 함유하는 식각액과 HF를 함유하는 식각액으로 실시할 수 있다.This etching process may be performed by dry etching or wet etching. When performing dry etching, it may be performed by a remote plasma method using NF 3 gas and NH 3 gas. When performed by a wet etching it can be performed according to the etching liquid and the etching liquid containing HF containing H 2 SO 4.
도 1h를 참조하면, 제2 트렌치(T2; 도 1g 참조)에 제2 절연막(118)을 형성하여 매립한다. 제2 절연막(118)은 제1 절연막(116)에 비해 막질이 치밀한 절연막, 예를 들면 고밀도 플라즈마 산화막이나 O3 TEOS(Tetra Ethyl OrthoSilicate) 산화막으로 형성한다.Referring to FIG. 1H, a second insulating
고밀도 플라즈마 산화막이나 O3 TEOS 산화막은 제1 절연막(116)에 비해 스텝 커버리지 특성이 낮기 때문에, 제2 절연막(118)을 형성할 때 제2 트렌치(T2; 도 1g 참조)의 입구에 오버행이 발생하여 제2 트렌치(T2; 도 1g 참조)를 한번에 매립하기 어렵다. 따라서, 제2 절연막(118)은 제2 트렌치(T2; 도 1g 참조)의 일부를 매립하고 제2 트렌치(T2; 도 1g 참조) 입구에 발생된 오버행을 제거하기 위하여 건식 식각 또는 습식 식각으로 제2 절연막(118)을 식각하여 제2 트렌치(T2; 도 1g 참조)의 상부를 오픈한 뒤, 다시 제2 절연막(118)으로 제2 트렌치(T2; 도 1g 참조)를 매립하는 공정을 반복적으로 실시할 수 있다. 이때, 도전막(106)의 측벽에 잔류하는 버퍼막(112; 도 1g 참조)은 이러한 제2 절연막(118)에 대한 식각 공정시 도전막(106)의 측벽이 노출되는 것을 방지함으로써, 도전막(106)의 측벽이 손상되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. Since the high density plasma oxide film and the O 3 TEOS oxide film have lower step coverage characteristics than the first insulating
이러한 식각 공정은 건식 식각 또는 습식 식각으로 실시할 수 있다. 건식 식각으로 실시할 때에는 NF3 가스와 NH3 가스를 이용하는 리모트 플라즈마(remote plasma) 방법으로 실시할 수 있다. 습식 식각으로 실시할 때에는 H2SO4를 함유하는 식각액과 HF를 함유하는 식각액으로 실시할 수 있다.This etching process may be performed by dry etching or wet etching. When performing dry etching, it may be performed by a remote plasma method using NF 3 gas and NH 3 gas.
