Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the coverage of an aluminum interconnection by a method wherein, after a field insulating film has been formed, a bird's beak part at a peripheral edge is etched back, an SOG film is filled and the whole surface of a substrate is flattened. CONSTITUTION:A silicon substrate 1 is oxidized thermally; a field insulating film 3 is formed selectively; after that, the difference in level at the field insulating film 3 which has been formed so as to swell from the surface of the substrate is etched back, removed and flattened. At this time, a bird's beak part at the peripheral edge of the field insulating film 3 is etched and changed to a recessed part after the etching-back operation. Only the part is filled with an SOG film 4; the whole surface of the substrate is flattened; the surface is of the substrate after the field insulating film 3 has been formed is flattened. Thereby, the difference in level on the surface at an initial process can be eliminated, and the coverage of an aluminum interconnection formed at a posterior process can be improved.

The covered portion of the 5iNX film 2 serves as a mask for protecting the element formation region. In this example, the SiNx film 2 is directly deposited on the silicon substrate 1, but in order to buffer the stress between the silicon substrate and the SiNx film, an oxidation film of several hundred layers is added. There is also a method of selectively forming a mask in which a SiC2 film and a SiNx film are laminated with a silicon (SiOz) film interposed therebetween.

However, according to the above manufacturing method, when the silicon substrate is thermally oxidized and transformed into a 5i0z film, the silicon becomes silicon oxide and expands in volume, and as a result, the SiO□ film rises from the surface of the silicon substrate. , a step appears on the flat substrate surface.

Nowadays, as VLSI chips and chips become larger, it is desired that the step difference in the field insulating film 3 caused by the above-mentioned LOCOS method be made as small as possible. This is because the steps that occur in the initial manufacturing process of the wafer process remain in subsequent manufacturing processes, and as the integration and miniaturization progress, for example, the aluminum wiring deposited near the end of the process becomes a congested multilayer wiring. In addition, the finer, spattered aluminum wiring has poor coverage, which has increased the risk of wire breakage and short circuits even more than in the past.

This problem is solved by a manufacturing method that includes a step of flattening the entire surface of the silicon substrate.
