的にウェット法で研磨することが必要であり、作業性が
悪く改善が要望されている。Among these, the U-shaped insulation isolation method has good isolation characteristics and is often used to manufacture integrated circuits with a high degree of integration.
In order to fill the grooves with polysilicon, it is necessary to mechanically polish the entire surface of the substrate using a wet method, which has poor workability and requires improvement.
従来の技術によるU字型絶縁分離法の工程を図面により
概要を説明する。The steps of a conventional U-shaped insulation separation method will be outlined with reference to drawings.
シリコン基板1 (エピタキシアル成長層等を含む)に
絶縁膜2が積層されRIE法により0字型溝3を形成す

膜とS i 3 N m膜の2層として積層される場合
もある。An insulating film 2 is laminated on a silicon substrate 1 (including an epitaxial growth layer, etc.), and a 0-shaped groove 3 is formed by the RIE method. The insulating film may be a single layer of SiO□ film, but SiO□
In some cases, two layers, a film and a Si 3 N m film, are laminated.
熱酸化によりU字型溝の内面にも酸化膜4を成長させる
。これを第2図(a)に示す。An oxide film 4 is also grown on the inner surface of the U-shaped groove by thermal oxidation. This is shown in FIG. 2(a).
この状態の基板に気相成長法でシリコンを成長させる。Silicon is grown on the substrate in this state by vapor phase growth.
この場合絶縁膜の上ではポリシリコンが成長するので、
全面にポリシリコン層5が成長しU字型溝を埋込む。こ
れを第2図(b)に示す。In this case, polysilicon grows on the insulating film, so
A polysilicon layer 5 is grown over the entire surface and fills the U-shaped groove. This is shown in FIG. 2(b).
次いで、U字型溝内のポリシリコン以外の不要なるポリ
シリコン層を研磨除去し、更に熱酸化工程を経てU字型
絶縁分離溝が完成する。これを第2図(C)に示す。Next, unnecessary polysilicon layers other than the polysilicon in the U-shaped trench are polished away, and a thermal oxidation process is further performed to complete the U-shaped isolation trench. This is shown in FIG. 2(C).
上記に述べた、従来の技術による方法では絶縁膜上に堆
積せるポリシリコン層を機械的な研磨法により平坦化さ
れることである。In the conventional method described above, the polysilicon layer deposited on the insulating film is planarized by mechanical polishing.
研磨に際してはシリコンのエツチング液を使用するので
ウェット・プロセスとなり、工数がかさむのみならず汚
染等の恐れもあり、ウェハー歩留りの低下を来す。Since a silicon etching solution is used during polishing, it is a wet process, which not only increases the number of steps but also poses a risk of contamination, resulting in a decrease in wafer yield.
またシリコンの気相成長の条件によっては、U字型溝領
域に凹部を生じて研磨後の面が平坦化しない場合も見ら
れる。Further, depending on the conditions of silicon vapor phase growth, there are cases in which a recess is formed in the U-shaped groove region and the surface after polishing is not flattened.

よって解決される。The problem mentioned above is that after the substrate on which the U-shaped groove is formed is coated with an oxide film and the resist film that opens the U-shaped groove is laminated, silicon-rich material is formed on the surface of the oxide film at the bottom of the U-shaped groove. The problem is solved by the method of the invention, which consists of forming a surface layer and then performing selective growth of silicon on the surface layer to fill the U-shaped trench.

シリコンの気相成長はソースガスと被成長面の表面状態
により著しく影響を受ける。The vapor phase growth of silicon is significantly influenced by the source gas and the surface condition of the growing surface.

膜上に比して著しく促進されてU字型溝を埋め込むもの
で、それ以外の絶縁膜上にはポリシリコンは成長するこ
とはない。従って研磨の工程を省略することが出来る。By making the insulating film at the bottom of the U-shaped groove silicon-rich, the growth of silicon in this region is significantly promoted compared to other insulating films, filling the U-shaped groove. Polysilicon does not grow on other insulating films. Therefore, the polishing step can be omitted.
