Description
本申请是申请日为2018年5月11日、申请号为201880031496.5、名称为“在基板和腔室部件上沉积金属硅化物层”的中国专利申请(PCT申请号为PCT/US2018/032267)的分案申请。
技术领域
本公开的实施方式大体上涉及制造集成电路。更具体来说,本文中描述的实施方式提供用于在基板和腔室部件上沉积金属硅化物层的技术。
背景技术
硬掩膜用于转移用于光刻的图案。在基板上形成硬掩膜的方法在本领域中是众所周知的。一直以来需要可以传递高深宽比、不塌陷的蚀刻选择性结构的硬掩膜,其允许下一代器件利用垂直堆叠方案达成较高的器件密度和较低的成本。钨基硬掩膜已经显示满足这一需要的前景,因为其具有高弹性模量、高密度、杰出的蚀刻选择性并且易于剥离。举例来说,当与常规的非晶碳基膜相比时,非晶钨硬掩膜展现高出两倍多的蚀刻选择性和机械稳定性。然而,来自厚钨基层的氟经常快速地热扩散到基板与主体膜的界面中,从而使得常规地沉积厚层不可实行。此外,钨基膜对常见沉积在基板上的由氧化硅、氮化硅、非晶硅和多晶硅制成的膜粘附性不佳。因此,钨基膜的沉积当前局限于薄层,所述薄层通常用作高深宽比应用的缝隙填充。
另外,当在沉积之后使用氟基清洁剂的等离子体清洁部件上沉积有钨膜的腔室时,氟化物离子与腔室中的铝反应,举例来说与用于制造加热器的氮化铝(AlN)反应。反应形成氟化铝(AlFx),其导致工艺漂移和基板上的颗粒产生。基板上的AlFx使得基板产生缺陷并且对其进行清洁效率较低,因为AlFx升华到腔室中的喷头或壁上。因此,AlFx污染和剥落通常是不希望的。
因此,需要改良的方法和装置用于形成基板上的厚钨基硬掩膜和防止由AlFx污染腔室部件导致的缺陷。
发明内容
本公开的实施方式大体上涉及用于在基板和腔室部件上沉积金属硅化物层(例如硅化钨)的方法和装置。在一个实施方式中,公开了一种通过在基板上沉积金属硅化物层形成硬掩膜的方法。该方法包括:将具有目标层的基板定位在处理腔室内,在目标层上形成金属硅化物的种晶层,以及在种晶层上沉积钨基主体层,其中金属硅化物层和钨基主体层形成硬掩膜。
在另一实施方式中,公开了一种通过在腔室部件上沉积金属硅化物层调节等离子体处理腔室的部件的方法。该方法包括:使惰性气体从气体施加器流动到等离子体处理腔室中,使基板支撑件暴露于等离子体处理腔室内的等离子体,以及在基板支撑件的铝基表面上形成金属硅化物的陈化层。惰性气体包括氩气或氦气。
在又一个实施方式中,公开了一种处理腔室。该处理腔室包括:具有界定在其中的腔室容积的腔室主体、安置在腔室容积内的基板支撑件、与腔室主体耦合的盖和通过盖与腔室容积流体连接的气体施加器。气体施加器包括:管状主体、穿过管状主体形成并且与腔室容积流体耦合的通道以及穿过管状主体形成的第一交叉孔和第二交叉孔。第一交叉孔被配置用于将第一气体递送到通道中。第二交叉孔相对于管状主体的中心线在第一交叉孔下方轴向地间隔开并且被配置用于将第二气体递送到通道中。

具体实施方式
本公开的实施方式大体上涉及用于在基板和腔室部件上沉积金属硅化物层的方法和装置。
下文将参考可以使用任何适合的薄膜沉积***执行的PECVD工艺来描述本文中描述的实施方式。适合的***的示例包括可以使用处理腔室的/>***、***、/>GT***、/>XP PrecisionTM***和SETM***,它们可从加利福尼亚的圣克拉拉市(Santa Clara,CA)的应用材料公司(Applied Materials,Inc.)购得。也可以调整能够执行PECVD工艺的其他工具以受益于本文中描述的实施方式。本文中描述的装置为说明性的并且不应将其解释或解读为限制本文中描述的实施方式的范围。
通过原子层沉积(atomic layer deposition,ALD)沉积的种晶层(例如TiN、WSi、WB、WN膜)已显示对氧化硅和氮化硅的良好的粘附性,但不足以将厚钨基膜粘附到基板。本文中描述的实施方式允许形成良好地粘附基板的厚钨基膜。与常规ALD膜相比,本文中描述的方法和装置每单位厚度引入更多氟捕集器,其允许沉积增强钨基膜对基板粘附性的薄种晶层。所述方法使用交替的气流脉冲以减小膜的晶粒尺寸和粗糙度并且改良膜粘附性。可以交替一或多种气体的气流(例如H2、He、B2H6、碳氢化合物、N2、N2O、NO2、N2O4、NH3、NF3、SiH4、Si2H6、CH4、C2H2、C3H6、C4H8、C5H10、O2、O3、H2O、Ar、WF6、WCI6、W(CO)6、以及钨的有机金属化合物)。用于各气流脉冲的时段可以相同或不同,在例如0.1到100秒范围内。各气流脉冲的时长可以在一定数量的脉冲循环中逐渐降低或在一定数量的脉冲循环中逐渐增加。在沉积工艺期间的不同气体的交替气流脉冲使结晶***,其产生捕集氟的缺陷并且允许各向同性生长。由于在沉积膜的界面上和内部的较小晶粒尺寸和更好的化学键合,改良了沉积膜的形态和粘附性。
本文中公开的方法和装置描述在腔室部件上形成例如硅化钨层的陈化层和在基板上形成用于沉积钨基主体层的种晶层。然而,应注意,本文中公开的方法和装置对形成其他金属硅化物层(诸如但不限于硅化钼、硅化钛等)同样地适用。

射频电源165包括高频射频(high frequency radio frequency,HFRF)电源,例如13.56MHz射频发生器,和/或低频射频(low frequency radio frequency,LFRF)电源,例如300kHz射频发生器。低频射频电源提供低频发生与固定匹配元件两者。高频射频电源设计成与固定匹配一起使用并且调节递送到负载的功率,从而消除对正向和反射功率的担忧。

气体施加器140安置在通道239中。气体施加器140具有中心通道255,中心通道255被配置用于将气体递送到腔室容积120中。在一个实施方式中,气体施加器140为圆柱形,但在其他实施方式中,气体施加器140可以具有不同形状的其他横截面。气体施加器140穿过基底板148以允许中心通道255与腔室容积120流体连接。气体施加器140具有外壁240和内壁250。内壁250与外壁240在气体施加器140的顶表面241相遇。内壁250与外壁240也在气体施加器140的底表面249相遇。内壁250界定经过气体施加器140的中心通道255。内壁250具有中心部分246、第一锥形部分247和第二锥形部分248。内壁250通过第一锥形部分247与中心通道255顶端处的气体入口歧管167连接。内壁250通过第二锥形部分248与中心通道255底端处的基底板148连接。
外壁240界定穿过输出歧管220的通道239的一部分并且隔离器230安置在输出歧管220下方。外壁240具有第一部分242、第二部分243、第三部分245和第四部分244。第一部分242包括隔离器230的内壁235。第二部分243在输出歧管220中形成并且与第一部分242连接。第三部分245与第二部分243连接。第四部分244与第三部分245连接。第三部分245向外延伸并且具有大于第一部分242的直径的直径。第二部分243和第四部分244具有小于第一部分242的直径。第二部分243和第四部分244与输出歧管220的阶梯孔对接。阶梯孔包括通过台阶225与第二内壁227连接的第一内壁223。由第三部分245界定轮廓的凸缘290坐落于台阶225上。诸如但不限于O形环的密封件280提供气体施加器140与输出歧管220之间的密封以防止凸缘290周围的气体泄漏。因此,在第二部分243与输出歧管220的内壁227之间于凸缘290下方形成下部气室228。类似地,在第四部分244与输出歧管220的内壁223之间于凸缘290上方形成上部气室224。上部气室224通过导管222与气体源163流体连接。下部气室228通过导管226与气体源168流体连接。
气体施加器140具有第一交叉孔260,其被配置用于将上部气室224与中心通道255流体连接。气体施加器140可以视情况具有任何适合数量的第一交叉孔260。第一交叉孔260可以具有圆形、正方形或其他适合的几何形状的横截面形状以使得第一交叉孔260可以将流体有效地递送到中心通道255中。另外,第一交叉孔260可以在径向地朝内和朝下的角度上(朝向底表面249)形成。第一交叉孔260的朝内和朝下的角度以朝向腔室容积120和远离远程等离子体源162的方向向离开第一交叉孔260到中心通道255中的流体流提供动量。因此,第一交叉孔260的角度防止气体回流到与远程等离子体源162连接的气体入口通道167中,从而减少潜在的不需要的沉积和污染。气体施加器140具有第二交叉孔270,第二交叉孔270被配置用于将下部气室228与第一交叉孔260下方的中心通道255流体连接。气体施加器140可以视情况具有任何适合数量的第二交叉孔270。第二交叉孔270可以具有圆形、正方形或其他几何形状的横截面形状,以使得第二交叉孔270可以将流体递送到中心通道255中。
参考回图1,冷却通道147与气体分配***108的基底板148耦合以在操作期间冷却基底板148。冷却进口145将诸如水之类的冷却剂流体递送到冷却通道147中。冷却剂流体通过冷却剂出口149离开冷却通道147。
如图1中所示,PECVD***100进一步包括***控制器176,其控制远程等离子体源162、射频电源165和直流电源176的操作。***控制器175也控制泵送***164、驱动***103、致动器107、以及气体源163、168和169的操作。***控制器175包括中央处理单元(central processing unit,CPU)、存储器和支持电路。CPU可以是可以用于工业环境的任何形式的通用计算机处理器。软件例程可以存储在存储器中,诸如随机存取存储器、只读存储器、软盘、或硬盘驱动器、或其他形式的数字存储器。支持电路常规地与CPU耦合并且可以包括高速缓冲存储器、时钟电路、输入/输出***、电源等等。
包含气体施加器140的腔室100有利地用于在腔室100的腔室容积120中形成金属硅化物层。在一个实施方式中,在腔室100的部件上形成硅化钨陈化层,所述部件诸如但不限于基板支撑件128。在操作中,基板支撑件128内的电极123由直流电源176供电。开启基板支撑件128内的加热元件605(图6A到图6B中所示)以控制基板121的温度。通过导管222和气体施加器140的中心通道255将诸如氩气之类的惰性气体供给到腔室容积120中。替代地或另外,可以通过导管226和气体施加器140的中心通道255将诸如氦气之类的惰性气体供给到腔室容积120中。通过泵送***164连续地将惰性气体供给到腔室容积120和从腔室容积120移除惰性气体。通过接通射频电源165在腔室容积120中产生等离子体(未显示)。腔室100的部件(包括基板支撑件128)暴露于该等离子体。
在一个示例中,通过气体施加器140以预定的时段使六氟化钨流入腔室容积120。随后,在引入或不引入惰性吹扫气体到腔室容积120中的情况下,通过泵送***164从腔室容积120移除六氟化钨。随后,通过气体施加器140以预定的时段使硅烷流入腔室容积120。随后,在引入或不引入惰性吹扫气体到腔室容积120中的情况下,通过泵送***164从腔室容积120移除硅烷。重复一次或多次引入和移除六氟化钨和硅烷的序列直到在腔室的基板支撑件128和其他部件上沉积均匀的硅化钨层。
在另一实施方式中,在安置在基板支撑件128上的基板121上形成硅化钨种晶层。基板121具有安置在其上的目标层。目标层为后续将被蚀刻以形成正在基板1212上形成的集成电路器件的一部分的材料层。在一些实施方式中,在将目标层放置在基板支撑件128上之前使其暴露于硅烷。基板支撑件128内的电极123由直流电源176通电。加热元件605在处理期间加热基板支撑件128。通过导管222和气体施加器140的中心通道255将诸如氩气之类的惰性气体供给到腔室容积120中。替代地或另外,通过导管226和气体施加器140的中心通道255将诸如氦气之类的惰性气体供给到腔室容积120中。通过泵送***164连续地将惰性气体供给到腔室容积120和从腔室容积120移除惰性气体。任选地,通过接通射频电源165在腔室容积120中产生等离子体(未显示)。在这种情况下,使具有目标层的基板121暴露于该等离子体。
在一个示例中,通过气体施加器140以预定的时段使六氟化钨流入腔室容积120。如果使用等离子体,那么将六氟化钨与氩气混合。随后,在引入或不引入惰性吹扫气体的情况下通过泵送***164将六氟化钨和氩气(如果使用氩气)从腔室容积120移除。随后通过气体施加器140以另一预定时段使硅烷流入腔室容积120。如果使用等离子体,那么使硅烷与氦气混合。随后,在引入或不引入惰性吹扫气体的情况下通过泵送***164从腔室容积120移除硅烷和氦气(如果使用氦气)。重复引入和移除六氟化钨和硅烷的序列一次或更多次直到在目标层上面沉积均匀的硅化钨层作为种晶层。等离子体增强硅化钨层的形成。通过使较高比例(51-99%)的来自硅烷的硅与较低比例(1-49%)的来自六氟化钨的钨反应制造硅含量丰富的种晶层。随后在种晶层上沉积钨基主体层以形成硬掩膜。钨基主体层可以视情况掺杂有硼、碳、氮和/或硅。硬掩膜用于在基板121上产生图案。
图3是根据本公开的一个实施方式的在基板上形成硬掩膜的方法300的框图。方法300从框310开始,将具有目标层的基板定位在处理腔室内。目标层可以是将为后续蚀刻工艺的目标的氧化硅、氮化硅、非晶硅、多晶硅或另一电介质的层。在一些实施方式中,将基板定位在诸如但不限于安置在腔室内的静电卡盘之类的基板支撑件上。在一些其他实施方式中,将基板定位在等离子体处理腔室内。在那些实施方式中,通过气体施加器使包括氩气或氦气的惰性气体流入等离子体处理腔室的腔室容积。随后,在处理腔室内激励等离子体。如图4A中所示,将具有目标层410的基板400放置在处理腔室内,诸如如上所述的处理腔室100。
在框320,在目标层上形成种晶层。种晶层包括金属硅化物,诸如但不限于硅化钨、硅化钛或硅化钼。在本公开中,硅化钨被用作示例。在一些实施方式中,在形成种晶层前使目标层暴露于硅烷。另外,在一些实施方式中,在等离子体存在的情况下在目标层上形成包括硅化钨的种晶层。形成硅化钨层涉及数个操作。在第一操作中,在第一时段期间使六氟化钨从气体施加器流动到处理腔室的腔室容积中。在使用等离子体的实施方式中,将六氟化钨与氩气混合。在第二操作中,在引入或不引入惰性吹扫气体的情况下在第二时段期间从处理腔室移除六氟化钨和氩气(如果使用氩气)。在第三操作中,在第三时段期间使硅烷从气体施加器流动到处理腔室的腔室容积中。在使用等离子体的实施方式中,将硅烷与氦气混合。接着,在第四操作中,在引入或不引入惰性吹扫气体的情况下,在第四时段期间从处理腔室移除硅烷和氦气(如果使用氦气)。
第一、第二、第三和第四时段可以具有在约0.1秒到约100秒之间的时长。组合的第一、第二、第三与第四时段界定一个时间周期。在一些实施方式中,第一时段与第三时段相同、不同或随着各时间周期而改变时长。重复包括第一、第二、第三和第四操作的时间周期多次直到在基板的目标层上将硅化钨层沉积到所希望的厚度。图4B示出如何在目标层410上形成包括硅化钨的种晶层420。包括硅化钨的种晶层的厚度在约1nm到约100nm之间。在一些实施方式中,所形成的金属硅化物种晶层硅含量丰富,在室温下,种晶层的密度在约1.8g/cc到约15g/cc的范围内。在室温下,硅化钨种晶层的密度在约4.5g/cc到约10.0g/cc之间(与在室温下钨的约19.25g/cc和非晶硅的约2.3g/cc相比)。硅化钨密度朝向硅密度而非钨密度倾斜表明:与常规沉积的硅化钨相比,硅化钨种晶层中的硅浓度比钨更高。
在框330,在种晶层上沉积钨基主体层。由硅化钨制成的种晶层与钨基主体层一起形成硬掩膜,硬掩膜随后可以被图案化并且用于蚀刻目标层。如图4C中所示,钨基主体层430沉积在种晶层420上。种晶层420和钨基主体层430一起形成硬掩膜440。钨基主体层430可以由钨、碳化钨、氮化钨、碳氮化钨、碳化硼钨与氮化硼钨中的一个或更多个制成。钨基主体层430的厚度在约10nm到约5微米(5000nm)之间。
通过上述方法形成的硬掩膜用于将图案转移到安置在基板上的目标层,其涉及如图4D到图4G中所示的数个操作。在图4D中,将光刻胶层450安置在在主体层430上安置的硬掩膜440上并且在所述硬掩膜440上面将光刻胶层450图案化。在图4E中,通过蚀刻穿过通过图案化光刻胶层450形成的开口来移除硬掩膜440的数个部分,从而将图案转移到目标层410。现在将硬掩膜440界定为图案化硬掩膜440',图案化硬掩膜440'包括图案化种晶层420'和图案化主体层430'。在图4F中,通过图案化硬掩膜440'蚀刻掉目标层410,从而产生图案化目标层410'。最后在图4G中,例如通过灰化来移除图案化硬掩膜440'以完全地使图案化目标层410'暴露。
图5为调节等离子体处理腔室的部件(诸如上述处理腔室100或其他适合的处理腔室的基板支撑件128)的方法500的框图。方法500从框510开始,使惰性气体从气体施加器流动到其中安置有基板支撑件128的等离子体处理腔室中。惰性气体可以是氦气或氩气。另外参考图6A,基板支撑件128具有主体600。主体600具有用于支撑其上的基板121的顶表面601(如图1中所示)。主体600具有嵌在其中的加热元件605(图6A到图6B中所示)。
在框520,使安置在处理腔室内的基板支撑件128暴露于等离子体处理腔室内的等离子体。如图6A中所示,当暴露于等离子体时,基板支撑件128没有基板安置在其上。
在框530,如图6B中所示,在基板支撑件128的铝基表面上形成陈化层610。如图6B中所示,在基板支撑件128侧面上和下面沉积陈化层。虽然基板支撑件128是腔室100的由陈化层610调节的部件的代表,但也可以使用陈化层610调节腔室100的其他部件。腔室100的此类部件可以包括腔室盖104、侧壁112、底壁116、棒130、升降杆161和喷头组件142等。如图6B中所示,陈化层也沉积在喷头组件142和侧壁112上。陈化层包括金属硅化物,诸如但不限于硅化钨、硅化钛或硅化钼。在本公开中,将硅化钨用作示例。
在一些实施方式中,形成硅化钨层涉及数个操作。在第一操作中,在第一时段期间使六氟化钨从气体施加器流动到等离子体处理腔室的腔室容积中。在一些实施方式中,使六氟化钨与氩气混合。在第二操作中,在引入或不引入惰性吹扫气体的情况下,在第二时段期间从等离子体处理腔室移除六氟化钨和氩气。在第三操作中,在第三时段期间使硅烷从气体施加器流动到等离子体处理腔室的腔室容积中。在一些实施方式中,使硅烷与氦气混合。接着,在第四操作中,在引入或不引入惰性吹扫气体的情况下,在第四时段期间从等离子体处理腔室移除硅烷和氦气。第一、第二、第三和第四时段可以具有在约0.1秒到约100秒之间的时长。组合的第一、第二、第三与第四时段界定一个时间周期。在一些实施方式中,第一时段和第三时段相同、不同或随着各时间周期而改变时长。重复包括第一、第二、第三和第四操作的时间周期多次直到在腔室的无基板的基板支撑件和其他部件上将硅化钨层沉积到所希望的厚度。硅化钨陈化层的厚度在约10nm到约10微米(10000nm)之间。
本公开演示用于在基板上沉积薄金属硅化物层的方法和装置,其允许在基板上形成厚钨基硬掩膜层。由于钨基硬掩膜与硅基基板之间的粘附性和应力不匹配,引入到腔室中的氟自由基导致钨基硬掩膜层从硅基基板剥离。然而,在沉积厚钨基层前沉积在硅基基板上的薄金属硅化物种晶层捕集氟自由基,因此实质上抑制了氟到达种晶层下方的表面。由于钨基硬掩膜层与硅基基板之间的同质性,薄金属硅化物种晶层还提供足够的应力松弛。因此,可以在硅基基板上沉积掺杂有各种数量的硼、碳、氮和硅的各种厚钨基层。因此,由于薄金属硅化物种晶层,钨基层良好地粘附到硅基基板上,这允许执行后续蚀刻工艺而没有钨基层剥落。薄金属硅化物种晶层还去除与后续蚀刻工艺不兼容的元素。
本公开进一步演示用于在腔室部件上沉积薄金属硅化物陈化层以防止在腔室部件上形成AlFx的方法和装置。AlFx导致工艺漂移和基板上的颗粒污染,因此使得对其进行清洁的效率较低。使用本文中描述的气体施加器沉积的薄金属硅化物陈化层减轻了颗粒形成并且防止了基板污染。同时,由于金属硅化物陈化层良好地粘附到腔室部件的铝基表面上,因此随后引入到腔室中的任何氟离子均被捕集在金属硅化物陈化层内并且不与任何铝基表面反应而形成AlFx。
尽管前述内容涉及本公开的特定实施方式,但应理解这些实施方式仅说明本公开的原理和应用。因此应理解,可以对说明性的实施方式进行诸多修改以达成其他实施方式,而不偏离所附权利要求书所界定的本公开的精神和范围。
