Be to be understood that, provide these embodiment be for make of the present invention disclose thorough and complete, and by the structure of these exemplary embodimentsThink fully to convey to those of ordinary skill in the art, in the accompanying drawings, for the sake of clarity, expanded the thickness in layer and region, andAnd use identical Reference numeral to represent identical device, thereby will omit description of them.
A kind of typical embodiment according to the present invention, provides a kind of preparation method of flash memory cell. This preparation method comprisesOn substrate, form grid structure and between grid structure, form contact hole 70, the preparation of contact hole 70 comprises the following steps:There is deposition on the substrate of grid structure and form interlayer dielectric layer 50 and photoresist; Taking photoresist between mask etching grid structureInterlayer dielectric layer 50 to first height and positions, and make to remain between grid structure part interlayer dielectric layer 50; Then deposit shapeBecome separation layer 60; Separation layer 60 between etching removal grid structure and residual interlayer dielectric layer 50; And at grid structureBetween filled conductive material form contact hole 70. " the first height and position " alleged in the present invention refers to energy in the process of etchingEnough ensure side wall layer sufficiently complete form, the height and position that interlayer dielectric layer 50 is etched. The existence of this separation layer 60 will be protectedSide wall layer 40 can not be etched excessively in the preparation process of contact hole 70, thus avoided contact hole 70 and control gate 30 itBetween the phenomenon that is short-circuited. In addition, owing to also remaining part interlayer dielectric layer 50 between grid structure after etching first, like thisWhen etching is removed the separation layer 60 between grid structure in subsequent step, remain part interlayer dielectric layer 50 and can protect liningThe end, can not damaged by overetch. Conventionally, in the substrate of flash memory, can also have cobalt silicide, if substrate is damaged by overetch,In the follow-up operation that need to enter boiler tube, cobalt silicide can spread, boiler tube environment and semiconductor devices are polluted,By remaining part interlayer dielectric layer 50, the protection of substrate is just avoided in the present invention the appearance of this technical problem.
Preferably, grid structure comprises division center and is arranged on the side wall layer 40 of division center both sides, division center comprise underSupreme floating boom 10, insulating barrier 20 and control gate 30, the first height and positions that are successively set on substrate are positioned at control gate 30 timesBelow the horizontal plane at place, surface. Etching in this degree, both can ensure to facilitate the integrality of side wall layer 40 again rearWhen etching is removed the separation layer 60 between grid structure in continuous step, remain part interlayer dielectric layer 50 and can protect substrate notCan be damaged by overetch, this residual fraction interlayer dielectric layer 50 can be removed completely simultaneously.
As long as the separation layer in the present invention 60 can play the protection of offside parietal layer 40, so more more fine and close when deposition formsGood, and the phenomenon that can not make to be short-circuited between grid structure and contact hole 70, preferably, separation layer 60 passes through deposit dielectric materialMaterial forms, and like this, even offside parietal layer 40 has caused certain damage in etching process first, has the isolation of dielectric materialThe contact hole 70 of follow-up formation also not can and grid structure between be short-circuited. Preferably, dielectric material is selected from silicon nitride, oxidationSilicon or silicon oxynitride, these material compactness are high, good insulation preformance. Preferably, the thickness of separation layer 60 is 100 ~ 200 dusts,Effectively isolated insulation, is unlikely to again to affect the filling of contact window and tungsten. Separation layer 60 in the present invention can be by existingThe whole bag of tricks in technology forms, preferably, separation layer 60 by chemical vapour deposition (CVD), plasma enhanced chemical gaseous phase deposition,And/or high-density plasma chemical gaseous phase deposition forms. Contact hole 70 in the present invention, can select general conductive material to form,Preferably, the conductive material of contact hole 70 is tungsten, because tungsten has reasonable fillibility, price is also relatively cheap.
According to the present invention, a kind of typical embodiment, provides a kind of flash memory cell. This flash memory cell comprises and being arranged onGrid structure on substrate and be arranged on the contact hole 70 between grid structure, wherein, grid structure comprises division center and establishesPut the side wall layer 40 in division center both sides, division center comprises the floating boom 10, the insulating barrier that are successively set on from bottom to up on substrate20 and control gate 30, the arranged outside of the corresponding control gate 30 of side wall layer 40 has separation layer 60. The existence of this separation layer 60 willProtective side wall layer 40 can not be etched excessively in the preparation process of contact hole 70, thereby has avoided contact hole 70 and control gate 30Between the phenomenon that is short-circuited.
Like this, even offside parietal layer 40 has caused certain damage in etching process first, there is the isolation of dielectric material follow-upForm contact hole 70 also not can and grid structure between be short-circuited. Preferably, dielectric material be selected from silicon nitride, silica orSilicon oxynitride, these material compactness are high, good insulation preformance.
Preferably, the thickness of separation layer 60 is 100 ~ 200 dusts, effectively isolated insulation, be unlikely to again to affect contact window andThe filling of tungsten.
The foregoing is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, be not limited to the present invention, for those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations.
