Detailed Description
The inventors experimentally found that, as shown in fig. 1a, the sidewall 32 ' and the floating gate 31 ' located on the sidewall of the shallow trench isolation structure 21 ' are formed in the logic region 10b ' by using dry etching, and at the same time, the polymer 33 ' generated by the dry etching is removed by performing an ashing process, as shown in fig. 1b, wherein the floating gate 31 ' exposed by the dry etching is oxidized more (the thickness of the oxide layer is increased) in the ashing process (e.g., 200-300 ℃), i.e., a thick oxide layer 35 ' (the thickness is about 6 angstroms, for example) is generated in the etching window 36 ' for etching the floating gate 31 ', as shown in fig. 1c, when the floating gate 31 ' is etched and removed by using a patterned photoresist layer as a mask, the etching window 36 ' for the first floating gate 31 ' is reduced due to the thick oxide layer 35 ', which is not beneficial for removing the floating gate 31 ' in the logic region 10b '.
In particular, if the formed patterned photoresist layer is not detected to be acceptable, the rework process will also be performed on the unacceptable patterned photoresist layer. The rework process may include an ashing process to remove the failed patterned photoresist layer, and the floating gate 31 ' of the logic region 10b ' will be further oxidized in the ashing process (e.g., the thick oxide layer 35 ' is thickened to 8 angstroms in thickness), resulting in the floating gate 31 ' being difficult to remove, thereby forming a floating gate polysilicon residue 37 '.
Based on the research, the invention provides a manufacturing method of a memory device, which adopts a first wet process to remove the unqualified patterned photoresist layer, and the timely process temperature for executing the first wet process is less than or equal to 150 ℃, so that the oxidation of the floating gate polysilicon layer of the logic region is reduced by removing the unqualified photoresist layer at a lower temperature relative to the ashing process, the etching window of the first floating gate of the logic region is indirectly increased, the subsequent etching is facilitated to remove the first floating gate of the logic region, and the floating gate residue problem of the logic region is solved.

s05: and sequentially removing the first floating gate, the first side wall and the patterned photoresist layer.
Fig. 3a to 3f are schematic structural diagrams corresponding to respective steps of a method for manufacturing a memory device provided in this embodiment, and next, the method for manufacturing the memory device will be described in detail with reference to fig. 3a to 3 f.
Referring to fig. 3a, step S01 is executed to provide a substrate 10, where the substrate 10 includes a storage region 10a and a logic region 10b, floating gate polysilicon layer 23 and spacer material layer 24 are disposed on the storage region 10a and the logic region 10b, and the logic region 10b is disposed with a shallow trench isolation structure 21.
The substrate 10 may be any suitable semiconductor substrate 10, such as a silicon-based semiconductor. The substrate 10 includes a plurality of memory areas 10a for forming memory cells 22 thereon and a plurality of logic areas 10b, the logic areas 10b being located between the memory areas 10a for forming logic cells (not shown) on the logic areas 10 b. The logic region 10b has a plurality of active regions, shallow trench isolation structures 21(STI) are disposed between the active regions, the shallow trench isolation structures 21 protrude from the surface of the substrate 10, and the shallow trench isolation structures 21 are used to isolate adjacent active regions; the memory unit 22 may be any suitable type of memory unit.
Specifically, the memory device in the present embodiment may be a split gate flash memory, and the forming process thereof may be, for example: firstly, a floating gate dielectric layer (not shown), a floating gate polysilicon layer 23, a control gate dielectric layer (not shown) and a control gate polysilicon layer (not shown) are sequentially formed on the surface of the substrate 10 from bottom to top, then, a memory cell 22 is formed in the above multilayer structure of the storage region 10a, the memory cell 22 protrudes out of the surface of the substrate 10, the floating gate polysilicon layer 23 is located at the bottom of the memory cell 22, and then, a sidewall material layer 24 is formed to cover the surface of the substrate 10, the outer wall of the memory cell 22 and the outer wall of the shallow trench isolation structure 21. The spacer material layer 24 may be, for example, a silicon oxide-silicon nitride-silicon oxide structure (ONO structure).
Referring to fig. 3b and fig. 3c, step S02 is executed to form a first sidewall 32 and a first floating gate 31 in the logic region 10b, and form a second sidewall 34 and a second floating gate 35 in the storage region 10a, where the first sidewall 32 and the first floating gate 31 are located on the sidewall of the shallow trench isolation structure 21 in the logic region 10 b.
The specific forming steps may include, for example: first, as shown in fig. 3b, a suitable dry etching process may be selected according to the type of the sidewall material layer 24 to perform dry etching along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 10 until the sidewall material layer 24 on the substrate 10, the memory unit 22, and the shallow trench isolation structure 21 is removed, and the sidewall material layer 24 remaining on the sidewall of the memory unit 22 is used as the second sidewall 35, and the sidewall material layer 24 remaining on the sidewall of the shallow trench isolation structure 21 is used as the first sidewall 32. Then, using the memory cell 22, the first sidewall 32 and the second sidewall 35 as masks, dry etching is performed on the floating gate polysilicon layer 23 along the surface perpendicular to the substrate 10, and the floating gate polysilicon layer 23 remaining under the memory cell 22 and the second sidewall 35 is used as the second floating gate 34, i.e., the floating gate of the memory cell 22, the floating gate polysilicon layer 23 remaining under the first sidewall 32 is used as the first floating gate 31, the side of the first floating gate 31 away from the shallow trench isolation structure 21 is used as a subsequent etching window 36, and the etching window 36 is exposed to the outside. The polymer 33 generated by dry etching the sidewall material layer 24 and the floating gate polysilicon layer 23 is attached to the surface of the substrate 10 and the outer walls of the first sidewall 32 and the second sidewall 35.
Next, as shown in fig. 3c, a second wet process is performed to remove the polymer 33, and the process temperature of the second wet process is lower than or equal to 150 ℃. A corresponding wet process may be selected to remove the polymer according to the kind of the polymer, and then a wet cleaning process may be performed to clean the surface of the substrate 10. With the etching gas comprising CH 2 F 2 For example, the polymer 33 includes a silicon-carbon fluorine-oxygen polymer (organic polymer), the solution of the second wet process may be an SPM solution, and the ratio of the SPM solution may be, for example, sulfuric acid: hydrogen peroxide: the process temperature of the SPM solution may be 80-150 deg.c, with water being 4:1: 1. The wet clean process may comprise any suitable clean process in an RCA clean step.
Compared with the high-temperature ashing process (the process temperature is higher than 250 ℃ for example), the second wet process is used for removing the polymer, so that the process temperature is lower, the oxidation of the first floating gate 31 in the etching window 36 is reduced, and the cleanness of the surface of the substrate 10 can be improved by two times of cleaning. It is understood that the lower the temperature of the second wet process is, the better the effect of reducing the oxidation of the first floating gate 31 is, while ensuring the removal effect and removal efficiency of the polymer 33 by the second wet process.
Next, referring to fig. 3d, step S03 is executed to form a patterned photoresist layer 40, wherein the patterned photoresist layer 40 covers the storage area 10 a.
The patterned photoresist layer 40 covers the memory region 10a and exposes the logic region 10b, and the patterned photoresist layer 40 has a thickness greater than the height of the memory cell 22 on the substrate 10, i.e. the patterned photoresist layer 40 completely covers the structural unit on the memory region 10a for protecting the memory region 10a in the subsequent etching process.
Next, step S05 is executed, the patterned photoresist layer 40 is detected, and if the patterned photoresist layer 40 is determined to be unqualified, a rework process is executed on the unqualified patterned photoresist layer 40, where the rework process includes removing the unqualified patterned photoresist layer 40 by using a first wet process, and the temperature when the first wet process is executed is lower than or equal to 150 ℃.
Specifically, the formed patterned photoresist layer 40 may be subjected to critical dimension detection and appearance defect detection to determine whether the patterned photoresist layer 40 meets the process requirements, if both meet the process requirements (pass), the substrate 10 may enter the next process, and if not, the unqualified patterned photoresist layer 40 may be subjected to rework process.
Wherein, the rework process performed on the failed patterned photoresist layer 40 includes: first, a first wet process is used to remove the unqualified patterned photoresist layer 40, then a wet cleaning process is performed on the substrate 10, and then the patterned photoresist layer 40 is formed again in the storage region 10a of the substrate 10. Of course, the detection step can be performed again on the reformed patterned photoresist layer 40.
Preferably, the second wet process may include removing the defective patterned photoresist layer 40 using a photoresist thinner. The specific steps may include, for example:
s051: placing the substrate 10 on a vacuum chuck of a spin coating apparatus;
s052: spraying a photoresist diluent on the surface of the substrate 10;
s053: stopping spraying the photoresist thinner and spin-drying the substrate 10;
s054: the substrate 10 is taken out of the spin coating apparatus.
In step S052, the substrate 10 may be rotated at a low speed, and a photoresist thinner may be sprayed from a central region of the surface of the substrate 10 to an edge region of the surface of the substrate 10, so that the photoresist thinner is uniformly coated on the surface of the substrate 10, thereby dissolving the unqualified patterned photoresist layer 40. The photoresist thinner can comprise one or two of propylene glycol methyl ether, propylene glycol methyl acetate, OK73 thinner, cyclohexanone and v-butyrolactone, and the rotating speed of the low-speed rotating substrate 10 can be 100 rpm-500 rpm. In addition, the temperature of the sprayed photoresist thinner can be increased to 50 ℃ to 80 ℃ to improve the above-mentioned dissolution effect (etching effect) under the condition of better controlling the oxidation of the first floating gate 32.
In step S053, the photoresist thinner is sprayed for 60 seconds to 300 seconds, and after the spraying of the photoresist thinner is stopped, the substrate 10 may be rotated at a high speed so as to spin-dry the photoresist and the photoresist thinner dissolved on the surface of the substrate 10.
It should be noted that the solution of the first wet process may also be other solutions that can remove the photoresist below 150 ℃ and are less harmful to the substrate 10, such as a weak alkaline photoresist stripping solution. Compared with the high-temperature ashing process (at a temperature greater than 250 ℃, for example), the first wet process is used to remove the unqualified patterned photoresist layer 40, and the oxidation of the first floating gate 31 of the etching window 36 can be reduced by using the lower process temperature, which is beneficial to the subsequent removal of the first floating gate 31.
Referring to fig. 3e, step S05 is executed to remove the first floating gate 31 in the logic region 10b by using the patterned photoresist layer 40 as a mask and an isotropic dry etching, which may be a reactive ion etching including fluorocarbon gas, through the etching window 36 to etch the first floating gate 31 until the first floating gate 31 is completely removed and the lower portion of the first sidewall 32 is suspended for subsequent removal of the first sidewall 32.
Next, referring to fig. 3f, the first sidewalls 32 and the patterned photoresist layer 40 are sequentially removed.
Specifically, the first sidewall 32 may be removed by a wet cleaning process including ultrasonic cleaning, and wet cleaning may be performed on the substrate 10; next, the patterned photoresist layer 40 may be removed by an ashing process or a wet process.
Of course, the manufacturing method of the memory device exemplified in this embodiment further includes other subsequent process processes, and in other embodiments of the present application, other corresponding process steps are also included, but the steps are formed by methods commonly used in the art, and are not described herein again.
In summary, the first wet process is adopted to remove the unqualified patterned photoresist layer, and the process temperature in time for executing the first wet process is less than or equal to 150 ℃, so that the oxidation of the floating gate polysilicon layer of the logic region is reduced by removing the unqualified photoresist layer at a lower temperature relative to the ashing process, thereby indirectly increasing the etching window of the first floating gate of the logic region, facilitating the subsequent etching to remove the first floating gate of the logic region, and solving the floating gate residue problem of the logic region.
The above description is only for the purpose of describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and any variations and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure are within the scope of the appended claims.
