本発明は、半導体基板に接してパッシベーション膜を有

シベーション機能をもつ最終保護膜を有する半導体装置
に関する。Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention has a passivation film in contact with a semiconductor substrate, and a final protective film having a similar passivation function covering wiring provided on the substrate. The present invention relates to a semiconductor device having the present invention.
半導体装置の特性の安定化のために、不安定性の要因の

内部で発生した不安定性の要因を除去し、不活性化する

終保護膜は特に外気の影響の阻止のほかルこ亀裂の発生
のない耐タラツク性が要求される。In order to stabilize the characteristics of semiconductor devices, passivation is used to prevent the entry of instability factors, and to remove and inactivate instability factors that are inherent in or have occurred within the semiconductor substrate. It will be done. The final protective film that comes into contact with the atmosphere is particularly required to block the influence of outside air and also to be resistant to scratches without causing cracks.
従来、半導体装置の最終保護膜としてりんガラス(PS

+酸窒化珪素(SiON)などが使われてきている。こ

き起こす可能性があるため、きびしい条件下では使用で
きない。Conventionally, phosphor glass (PS) has been used as the final protective film for semiconductor devices.
G), silicon oxide (Sift), silicon nitride (SiJ4)
+Silicon oxynitride (SiON), etc. are being used. Among these, the PSG film is excellent in terms of impurity gettering effect due to phosphorus and crank resistance, but since it contains phosphorus, it may cause corrosion of the M of the wiring metal due to a decrease in water resistance. Therefore, it cannot be used under harsh conditions.
5iJ4は、不純物や水分の阻止効果がきわめて大きい

として5iON膜が用いられているが、5iON膜は膜
質の再現性等の問題がある。Although 5iJ4 has a very high effect of blocking impurities and moisture, it has a problem in crank resistance because the stress of the film is large. In addition, since the manufacturing method when using Si3N4 as the final protective film is a plasma CVD method using Si*t, 'NHs, etc. as the raw material gas, a large amount of N-H; '5i
=H group is mixed. A large amount of hydrogen in this film causes problems such as fluctuations in the threshold voltage of the %10.5 FET. Further, in order to relieve the stress of the Si3N film, a 5iON film is used as a mixed film of 5i02 and Si3N4, but the 5iON film has problems such as reproducibility of film quality.

The structure is sandwiched between S double film SiO□ film 3, and M is directly connected to PS.
How to prevent contact with G film or 5iO1 film and S
It has a two-layer structure of i sNa film or PSG film and SiJ* film, and has the high impurity and moisture blocking effect of 5lsNa film,
There is a method that combines stress reduction by laminating 5i02 or PSG.

膜の水素の影響を受けやすくなりMOSFETのしきい
値電圧の変動が起こりやすくなったり、M配線の細線化
により保護膜の応力によるM配線の変形や断線が非常に
起きやすくなっている。However, with the recent miniaturization of semiconductor devices, they are more susceptible to the effects of hydrogen in the protective film, causing fluctuations in the threshold voltage of MOSFETs. Deformation and disconnection are extremely likely to occur.
このため、不純物や水分の高い阻止効果、膜の低応力化
等が非常に強く望まれている。For this reason, there is a strong desire to have a high impurity and moisture blocking effect and to reduce the stress of the film.

The final protective film is formed by further laminating a plurality of laminated films made of at least two of a silicon nitride film, a silicon oxide film, and a phosphorous glass film.
従来用いられていた2種の膜の積層では不十分であった
不純物や水分の阻止効果あるいは応力の低減が積層膜を
さらに複数積層することにより向上し、所要の膜性能を
得るに至る。The effect of blocking impurities and moisture or the reduction of stress, which was insufficient with the lamination of two types of films conventionally used, is improved by laminating a plurality of laminated films, and the desired film performance can be obtained.
