Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate voids in aluminum wirings by thermally decomposing a polymer formed in a through hole to remove it, thereby always reducing a contacting resistance. CONSTITUTION:After a predetermined Locos oxide film, a gate oxide film, a polysilicon gate, and a source.drain diffused layer are formed and processed on a silicon substrate 1, a PSG film 2 is formed, and lower layer aluminum wirings 3 are then formed. Then, an interlayer insulating film made of a PSG film 4 between upper and lower layer wirings is formed. When the film 4 is dry etched to open a through hole 6, a polymer 7 is deposited on the wirings 3 in the through hole 6. After the through hole is opened, a photoresist 5 due to O2 plasma is removed, and cleaned with fuming nitric acid. Subsequently, when a heat treatment is executed, for example, in N2 and H2 mixture gas atmosphere, the polymer is thermally decomposed, and completely removed to form upper layer aluminum wirings 8.

As shown in FIG. 2a, first, a PSG film 2 is placed so as to cover the circuit elements (not shown) on the silicon substrate 1.
After forming the interlayer insulating film consisting of the lower layer AI! Wiring 3 is formed. After this, as shown in Figure 2, the PSCi film 4
An interlayer insulating film is formed between the upper layer wiring and the lower layer wiring. Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, the PSG film 4 is dry etched using the photoresist 5 as a mask to form the through holes 6.
Drill a hole. As an etching gas, Cf (F3.C2
A mixed gas containing F6°03F8 as a main component is generally used. At this time, polymer 7, which is a by-product of etching, is deposited on lower layer Al wiring 3 in through hole 6. This polymer 7 has carbon (q as its main component) and also contains etching gas components such as fluorine (F), metal components constituting wiring, etc.Also, its thickness depends on the etching conditions, but over-etching The polymer 7 becomes thicker over time, so it is removed by oversizing for 1 minute, and then cleaned with fuming nitric acid, for example, but the polymer 7 is not removed.After this, the upper layer Al wiring 8 is formed. Before sputtering, Ar shanot etching is performed in the same equipment to remove the natural oxide film (Al2031 not shown in the figure) that has formed on the lower layer A7 wiring 3 in the through hole 6. The amount of etching is enough to remove Al2Q3 to a film thickness of 300 mm, and the polymer 7 remains in the through hole 6 without being completely removed, and the lower layer Al wiring 3 and the upper layer Al wiring 8
It becomes a barrier between. Finally, as shown in Figure 2e, K
As a hashivation film, a PSG film 9 and a silicon nitride film 1o are formed by plasma CVD. In addition, P.S.
When depositing the G film 9 and the silicon nitride film 1o,
A heat treatment is performed at 00° C., but at this time, voids 11 are generated in the upper layer Al wiring. The cause of this void 11 is that moisture absorbed in the PSGJ during the cleaning process using fuming nitric acid, etc. after the through-hole is opened is the upper layer A7.
It is thought that it reacts with the wiring 8.
