Description

A kind of contact hole shaping method
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of semiconductor manufacture, particularly relate to a kind of contact hole shaping method.
Background technology
Because the manufacture of integrated circuit develops to very lagre scale integrated circuit (VLSIC), the current densities of its inside is increasing, along with the continuous increase of number of elements contained in chip, in fact just decreases the free space of surperficial line.This way to solve the problem adopts multiple layer metal traverse design, and the multilayer utilizing multilayer dielectric layer and conductive layer mutually to superpose is connected, and this wherein just needs to make a large amount of contact holes.Such as, in existing MOS transistor technique, need to form contact hole in active area (source electrode and drain electrode) and grid (comprising polysilicon gate, metal gates etc.).
Technology node before 90nm, after the contact hole etching (Contact Etch) of CMOS product, capital proceeds to the board that removes photoresist (Asher) and carries out remove photoresist (Ash), then enters after wet-cleaned board removes photoresist and cleans (Wet Clean).The step of contact hole etching is also relatively simple, after sending there being the substrate on Si N barrier layer and interlayer dielectric layer on the surface into etching machine, generally only comprise photoresist spin coating (mainly bottom antireflective coating/dielectric anti-reflective coating coating, BARC/DARC step), main etching (Main Etchstep) and over etching (Over Etch step) these steps.
And constantly reducing along with critical size (CD), in order to the various parameters (such as shape, sidewall, top/bottom CD etc.) after ensureing contact hole etching, the structure in contact hole etching also constantly becomes complicated; After entering 65nm technology node, simple photoresist can not, as etching mask layer, need under photoresist, increase the hard mask of one deck (being generally APF or other carbon-containing hard mask materials); The metal silicide of contact hole and substrate contact also becomes metallic nickel (Ni) from metallic cobalt, and nickel-silicon compound (Ni-Silicide) is easily oxidized.In order to meet the demand that properties of product improve constantly, and in order to avoid Ni-Silicide oxidized in follow-up degumming process, in CIS product, remove photoresist (Ash Step) to be incorporated in contact hole etching processing procedure (usually, degumming process step completed before silicon nitride etch (SiN Remove), this technology completing degumming process in main etching cavity is called the contact hole technology that original position is removed photoresist (In-situ Ash), specific as follows:
In the etch chamber of etching apparatus, carry out contact hole etching, comprise Darc/Barc step, APF Hard MaskEtch Step, Main Etch Step, Over Etch step;
In the etch chamber of etching apparatus, carry out original position remove photoresist (In-situ Ash Step);
The silicon nitride (SiN Remove) bottom contact hole is removed in the etch chamber of etching apparatus;
Wet method (Wet) is cleaned, and in Wet board, remove particulate and other residuals of product surface;
Defect inspection (Defect Scan).
Therefore, in the contact hole etching technique of In-situ Ash, after contact hole etching terminates, directly can enter wet clean step.But, during defect inspection (Defect Scan) after wet cleaning, often can be tested with polymer residue (residue) (as shown in FIG. 1A and 1B) of random distribution.The quantity of polymer residue generally arrives hundreds of tens, serious meeting even 2000 more than 1000.Constituent analysis discovery is carried out to residue, residue composition mainly C, F, O, supposition should be the high molecular polymer (polymer) remained in contact hole etching process in contact hole through hole, these polymer can not remove very well and be attached on wafer (wafer) surface in follow-up wet clean process, form described random distribution polymer residue (residue).Find through done site by site defect scan tracing, residue after contact hole etching still can see vestige (please refer to Fig. 1 C) after contact metal deposition (CTG-DEP), chemical-mechanical planarization surface after metal filled occurs that metal plug is filled abnormal (please refer to Fig. 1 D), finally causes component failure.
Obviously, the existence of polymer residue can cause the yield (Yield) of final products to decline.Analysis large-tonnage product finds, remain at about 2000 particle/polymers and deposit in case, yield can decline about 10%.Therefore specify once the residue detecting discovery product exists quantity more than 700 at present, just judge that product has exception, process engineer is needed to make investigation, generally etching machine bench (chamber) to be taken time out to, check that residue has the front and back of defective product to criticize, if situation is serious, then need the cleaning maintenance work (maintains) at once carrying out board/cavity, confirm that residue could continue to produce after out of question.
Therefore, needing a kind of contact hole shaping method, there is quantity in that can reduce the polymer residue after degumming process, to improve the yield of product.
