Abstract
Description
본 발명은 반도체소자의 금속배선 형성방법에 관한 것으로서, 특히 콘택홀의 입구부분에 형성된 문턱에 Ti 또는 TiN 층 스페이서를 형성하고, 금속배선을 형성함으로써 상기 금속배선의 매립 특성을 향상시켜 보이드가 발생하는 것을 방지하고, 콘택 저항을 감소시켜 소자의 동작속도를 향상시키는 기술에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for forming metal wiring in a semiconductor device. In particular, a Ti or TiN layer spacer is formed on a threshold formed at an inlet of a contact hole, and a metal wiring is formed to improve the buried property of the metal wiring to generate voids. To reduce the contact resistance and improve the operation speed of the device.
일반적으로, 소자간이나 소자와 외부회로 사이를 전기적으로 접속시키기 위한 반도체소자의 배선은, 배선을 위한 소정의 콘택홀 및 비아홀을 배선재료로 매립하여 배선층을 형성하고, 후속 공정을 거쳐 이루어지며 낮은 저항을 필요로 하는 곳에는 금속배선을 사용한다.In general, the wiring of a semiconductor device for electrically connecting between devices or between an element and an external circuit is formed by filling a predetermined contact hole and via hole for wiring with a wiring material, forming a wiring layer, and performing a subsequent process. Metal wiring is used where resistance is required.
상기 금속배선은 알루미늄(Al)에 소량의 실리콘이나 구리가 포함되거나 실리콘과 구리가 모두 포함되어 비저항이 낮으면서 가공성이 우수한 알루미늄합금을 배선재료로 하여 물리기상증착(physical vapor deposition, 이하 PVD 라함)방법의 스퍼터링으로 상기의 콘택홀 및 비아홀을 매립하는 방법으로 형성된다.The metal wiring includes a small amount of silicon or copper in aluminum (Al), or both silicon and copper, and has a low resistivity and has excellent workability and uses an aluminum alloy as a wiring material for physical vapor deposition (hereinafter referred to as PVD). It is formed by the method of filling the contact hole and the via hole by sputtering of the method.
근래에는 반도체소자의 초고집적화에 따라 금속 콘택의 크기는 작아지고, 단차비는 높아져서 스퍼터링에 의한 금속배선의 층덮힘이 불량하게 되어 신뢰성을 얻기가 어려워졌다.In recent years, as the semiconductor device has been highly integrated, the size of the metal contact becomes smaller and the step difference ratio becomes higher, resulting in poor layer coverage of the metal wiring by sputtering, making it difficult to obtain reliability.
상기와 같이 종래기술에 따른 반도체소자의 금속배선 형성방법은, 습식 및 건식식각 공정을 실시하여 형성된 콘택홀의 입구부분에 상기 습식식각 공정으로 인하여 문턱이 형성되는데, 후속 금속박막을 형성하는 스퍼터 공정시 ⓐ 부분과 같이 문턱에 금속이 집중되어 층덮힘이 불량하게 됨으로써 ⓑ 와 같은 보이드를 형성하여 ⓒ 부분과 같이 금속배선이 단락되거나 콘택 저항을 증가시키는 문제점이 있다. (도 1a, 1b참조)As described above, in the method of forming a metal wiring of a semiconductor device according to the prior art, a threshold is formed in the inlet portion of a contact hole formed by performing wet and dry etching processes due to the wet etching process. As the metal is concentrated on the threshold as in the ⓐ part, the layer covering is poor, thereby forming voids such as ⓑ, which causes short circuiting of the metal wires and increases contact resistance as in the ⓒ part. (See FIGS. 1A and 1B)
본 발명은 상기한 종래기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 콘택홀 양쪽 가장자리에 확산방지막인 Ti층 또는 TiN 층으로 스페이서를 형성시켜 문턱을 제거함으로써 금속박막의 매립 특성을 향상시켜 보이드가 발생하는 것을 방지하고, 콘택 저항을 감소시키며 그에 따른 소자의 동작 속도 및 수율을 향상시키는 반도체소자의 금속배선 형성방법을 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, by forming a spacer with a Ti layer or a TiN layer as a diffusion barrier on both edges of the contact hole to remove the threshold to improve the buried property of the metal thin film to prevent the generation of voids In addition, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a metal wiring of a semiconductor device which reduces contact resistance and thereby improves the operation speed and yield of the device.
