Being applicable to preparation of semiconductor element, the method prevents photoresist from cracking, maintains integrality of semiconductor element, and promotes rate for removing photoresist layer in use for ion implantation mask.

Description

The removal method of photoresist and the manufacture method of semiconductor element
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of semiconductor device manufacturing method, relate in particular to a kind of semiconductor device manufacturing method that photoresist is removed efficient of promoting.
Background technology
Photoetching (Photolithography) technology is in the whole integrated circuit technology, one of the most very important key.The employed photoresist layer of photoetching process behind the dry-etching, behind the Wet-type etching or after the ion implantation technology, must be removed totally, up hill and dale to avoid influencing follow-up technology.
Yet there is different influences in the characteristic regular meeting of photoresist because of the difference of the technology of being carried out.For instance, in ion implantation technology, the photoresist surface makes its surface hardening because of ion implantation technology, making photoresist remove is difficult for, and because its surface hardening in ashing (Ashing) process, easily causes photoresist to split (Popping) cruelly.Generally speaking, be difficult for to take place, can in podzolic process, add carbon tetrafluoride usually, or in wet-cleaned subsequently, utilize high temperature (70 degree Celsius) or in RCA solution, add dilute hydrofluoric acid (DHF) and achieve the goal for making photoresist split phenomenon cruelly.Yet these two kinds of methods also can consume the partial oxidation layer on the substrate when removing photoresist, and influence the performance of element.
The problem that causes for fear of above-mentioned high temperature RCA solution with the performance of control element effectively, after ion implantation technology, does not extensively have the ashing of carbon tetrafluoride, and adopts the low temperature RCA solution that does not add DHF to remove photoresist.Yet the efficient or the removing speed that remove photoresist with the ashing of no carbon tetrafluoride and the low temperature RCA solution that do not add DHF are relatively poor, and often photoresist can't be removed fully.Therefore, the removal of the photoresist after ion implantation technology technology still must be improved.
Summary of the invention
The manufacture method that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of semiconductor element is to improve the photoresist elimination efficiency after ion injects.
A further object of the present invention provides a kind of manufacture method of semiconductor element, to increase the process margin (Process Window) that photoresist is removed.
The present invention proposes a kind of manufacture method of semiconductor element.The method is to form grid on substrate, and forms light dope source electrode/drain region in substrate.Afterwards, the sidewall at grid forms clearance wall.Then, grid structure, clearance wall and the substrate that is exposed carried out pre-treating technology.Afterwards, forming patterning photoresist layer on substrate, then, is mask with this patterning photoresist layer, grid structure and clearance wall, carries out ion implantation technology, to form source/drain regions in substrate.Afterwards, remove this patterning photoresist layer.
Described according to one embodiment of the invention, pre-treating technology for example is a plasma process, the employed gas of this plasma process be selected from group that hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, water and combination thereof form one of them.The temperature range of this plasma process is between 100 to 260 degree.
Described according to one embodiment of the invention, after above-mentioned sidewall at grid forms the step of clearance wall, also comprise a cleaning step before the pre-treating technology, to remove formed polymer in the process that forms clearance wall.
Described according to one embodiment of the invention, the step of this patterning photoresist layer of above-mentioned removal for example is ashing (Ashing) technology and the cleaning of cleaning with cleaning fluid.This cineration technics comprises the plasma process that does not contain carbon tetrafluoride.In addition, this cleaning fluid does not contain the hydrofluoric acid of dilution.
The present invention carried out pre-treating technology before patterning photoresist layer forms, can avoid patterning photoresist layer to produce photoresist when ashing and split (Popping), the component structure that is kept perfectly and performance cruelly and make the removing technology of patterning photoresist layer have higher process margin and higher efficient.
The present invention reintroduces a kind of method of promoting the clearance of the photoresist layer that the ion injecting mask uses, and the method is that substrate is provided earlier, before forming a photoresist layer, this substrate is carried out a pre-treating technology then.
Described according to one embodiment of the invention, wherein pre-treating technology for example is a plasma process.The employed gas of this plasma process be selected from group that hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, water and combination thereof form one of them.The temperature range of this plasma process is between 100 to 260 degree.
The present invention promptly handled the efficient that this pre-treating technology can avoid photoresist to produce the phenomenon of splitting cruelly, the component structure that is kept perfectly and performance and increase follow-up removal photoresist when ashing to substrate surface with pre-treating technology before the photoresist pattern that the ion implantation technology mask is used forms.
For above-mentioned and other purposes, feature and advantage of the present invention can be become apparent, preferred embodiment cited below particularly, and cooperate appended graphicly, be described in detail below.
