Abstract

A method for treating a metal film that utilizes a gas cluster beam to treat a metal film (72) formed on a surface of an object to be treated (W). A gas cluster beam is formed by adiabatically expanding a mixed gas comprising an oxidation gas for forming an oxide by oxidizing the elements of the metal film, a complexing gas for forming an organic metal complex by reacting with the oxide, and a rare gas; and the gas cluster beam is used to bombard the metal film of the object to be treated in order to etch the metal film.

[Prior Art] The wiring of the ultra LSI is now formed by a copper damascene method. Copper is formed by patterning an insulating film by a photolithography technique and a dry etching technique, and then coating the surface with a copper barrier film, then burying the copper plating in the trench and removing it by chemical mechanical polishing to form a metal pattern. (Refer to Non-Patent Document 1) » Copper damascene method requires: a copper barrier film is well coated on a micro-process, and a copper plating film is well coated on a copper barrier film. The process of construction is difficult to apply to more patterns. Further, in the pattern formation, since the CMP process is a process for forming a pad to be bonded to the TSV (Through Silicon Via), the cost is increased. One of the metal film pattern forming processes other than the damascene method is wet. It is a method in which a mask is patterned on a metal film, and the portion of the maskless metal film is removed by etching with dilute hydrochloric acid. However, since the metal is formed in an isotropic manner and the microstructure is fine, it is impossible to control the side etching. It is difficult to ensure good pattern formation. The other method is a method such as RIE (Reactive Ion Etching) method wafer and damascene groove, CMP (the upper part of the fine groove, the copper is fine, such as large pattern etching method, etc. to wet the method. This method of 201250807 is a method of etching a non-masked metal portion by reactive plasma, and it is confirmed that an A1, Ti, Ta, W, etc. of a metal element having a high vapor pressure of a halide is etched by the RIE method. Good pattern formation (see Non-Patent Document 2). However, when patterning is performed by etching a pattern of Co, Ni, Cu, Pt, Ru, etc. of a metal having a low vapor pressure of a halide by RIE, in order to vaporize the halogenated metal In order to remove and prevent reattachment to the wall of the reaction vessel, the temperature of the substrate and the wall of the reaction vessel must be maintained at a high temperature. Moreover, in such a high-temperature RIE process, halide ions and radical corrosion belonging to the active species of the plasma are etched. The side walls of the openings (grooves and holes) are formed, and it is difficult to maintain a good pattern shape (see Non-Patent Document 3). Moreover, in the RIE method, the etching liquid which is decomposed by the plasma is a polymer and a compound. In the form of residue, the residue is often difficult to remove by wet cleaning after etching. On the other hand, it has also been proposed to carry out the cleaning treatment by a gas cluster bundle generated by heat-insulating and expanding the cleaning and etching gas. And a processing method (Patent Documents 1 and 2). In this case, the gas cluster beam may be ionized and accelerated. Further, when the gas cluster beam hits the surface of the material, heat and chemistry occur. The reaction also purifies the surface or hungry the material.

When the cluster impacts a metal halide formed of a metal such as Cu, Co, Pt, or RU, there is still a problem that it is difficult to maintain a good pattern formation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a solution that focuses on the above problems and can be effectively solved.

The entire pressure is adjusted and maintained in a high vacuum state. For the first 34'', for example, a turbol pump can be used, and for the second vacuum pump, for example, a dry pump can be used. Next, a gas clustering beam forming means 38 is disposed in the processing container 4 so as to be in contact with the holding table 1. Specifically, the cluster beam forming means 38 has a spray 40 of a high velocity jet gas cluster. The injection mechanism 40 is composed of a chamber 42 having a capacity of a certain size and a flared nozzle portion 44 provided on the front end side of the horizontally long retention chamber 42 and gradually expanding in diameter. , configured as a lava nozzle. Then, the gas introduction passage 46, the gas introduction passage 46, for the purpose of introducing various gases necessary for the formation of the gas group is connected to the retention chamber 42, and the body passage 48 through which the oxidizing gas flows is connected in common, and the error is supplied.

Therefore, the in-situ switching valve is provided for the rare gas passage 62 for the purpose of circling the rare gas which functions as a carrier gas. Further, the rare gas passage 62 is provided with a gas flow controller 64 such as a mass flow controller and an on-off valve 66' from the upstream side toward the downstream side in order to treat the noble gas of high pressure as a carrier gas. Supply is performed under flow control. Here, the above-mentioned complexing agent is a hexafluoroacetone (1,1,5,5,5-Hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione:H(hfac))' which is liquid at room temperature and Ar is used in the rare gas system of the carrier gas. The liquid dissimilaring agent is pumped at a high pressure to flow, and is vaporized in the vaporizer 60 to become a mixed gas, and flows downstream in a state of being mixed with a high-pressure carrier gas (Ar). Next, the 'oxidizing gas, the mixed gas, and the rare gas (carrier gas) are in a mixed state, and are introduced into the retentate chamber 42 by the gas introduction passage 46 in a high pressure state, and the nozzle portion 44 of the front end is in a vacuum state. The beam forming space 8 forms a gas cluster bundle 70 by thermal expansion. At this time, the injection mechanism 40 is disposed such that the center of the nozzle portion 44 and the opening of the gas slag hole 12 are at the same height, and the center of the injected gas cluster bundle 70 is passed through the gas slag hole 12.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the two gases may be separately introduced into the retentate chamber 42. A mixed gas is formed in the retention chamber 42. Further, when a carrier gas of a rare gas is not required for the mixed gas, a rare gas, an oxidizing gas, and a mixed gas may be mixed in the passage to form a mixed gas, or the rare gas may be directly introduced into the retention chamber 42. A mixed gas is formed again. The entire operation of the processing device 2 configured as described above is controlled by, for example, a device control unit 72 composed of a computer or the like, and the computer program for executing the operation is stored in the memory medium 74.

Further, the device control unit 72 is connected to a communication line (not shown), and communicates the information of the above-described respective controls to the device control unit 72 via the communication line. <Processing Method> Next, a metal film processing method according to the present embodiment executed by the processing device 2 having the above configuration will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3, and -12 to 201250807. Figs. 2A to 2C are process diagrams showing an example of a metal film processing method according to the present embodiment, and Fig. 3 is a graph showing a vapor pressure curve of a reaction derivative Cu(hfac) 2 which occurs during copper etching. First, the semiconductor wafer W is held by the holding means 16 of the holding means 14 provided in the processing container 4 by fixing the semiconductor wafer W of the object to be processed by the holder 18. At this time, the processed surface of the wafer W is oriented to the left side of the figure, and is disposed in a state of facing the gas clustering beam forming means 38. Referring to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C showing the surface of the wafer W in an enlarged manner, first, as shown in FIG. 2A, a metal film 72 to be processed is formed in advance on the surface to be processed of the surface of the wafer W. A patterned mask 74 is formed on the surface of the metal film 72. Here, as described above, the metal film is made of copper (Cxi), and the mask 74 is formed of, for example, a chemical vapor CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) using a material resistant to a gas cluster.矽Oxide film (SiO 2 ) or 矽 nitride film (Si 3 N 4 ) » Next, as described above, the wafer W is held in the holding stage 16 , the inside of the processing container 4 is sealed, and the exhaust system 28 is driven into the processing container 4 . The vacuum suction causes the inside of the processing space 6 and the inside of the beam forming space 8 to be in a high vacuum state. Next, the gas clustering means 38 is driven to generate a gas cluster bundle 70. That is, 'oxidizing gas, mismatched gas, and rare gas flow under high pressure, respectively, and supply the wrong agent of the raw material of the wrong gas under flow control, that is, H (hfac), because at room temperature It is a liquid, which is pumped under high pressure and flow control' and is vaporized in gasifier 60 into a miscible -13 - 201250807 gas. The mixed gas is mixed with and flows with Ar gas (rare gas) of the carrier gas supplied from the gasifier 60. Further, the oxidizing gas, the staggered gas, and the rare gas pass through the gas introduction passage 46 as a mixed gas, and are supplied into the retentate chamber 42 of the injection mechanism 40. The mixed gas is in a high pressure state, and the mixed gas nozzle portion 44 is formed into a space 8 in a high vacuum state, and is radiated or ejected by thermal expansion. At this time, since the inside of the processing container 4 is in a high vacuum state, the mixed gas is thermally inflated and radiated, and the gas cluster bundle 70 is formed and the wafer W is irradiated. The gas cluster bundle 70, the diffused gas cluster is blocked by the skim plate 10 on the way, and only the highly straightforward gas cluster bundle 70 passes through the gas skim hole 12 provided in the skim plate 10, and as shown in FIG. 2B The wafer W is irradiated. The pressure in the retention chamber 42 is, for example, 20 rpm, and the pressure in the beam forming space 8 and the processing space 6 is a pressure of l 〇 -3 Pa or more and 105 Pa or less. The gas cluster 70A constituting the gas cluster bundle 70 is cooled by the thermal expansion of the mixed gas of the nozzle portion 44 in the front, and the atom of the oxidizing gas or the molecule is misaligned by using Ar as a core of the rare gas. The atoms or molecules of the gas gradually become constrained. That is, one gas cluster 70A is composed of, for example, several to several thousand atoms or molecules, and the oxidizing gas, the mixed gas, and the rare gas system are mixed in an atomic level or a molecular level. As shown in Fig. 2B, the gas cluster bundle 70 is irradiated with a metal film 72 made of Cu, and a part of the heat is generated by the impact energy at this time. At this time, 'first' copper reacts with the oxidizing gas to form an oxide, and the -14-201250807 oxide reacts with the mixed gas to form an organic metal having a high vapor pressure. By vaporizing and venting the organometallic complex, the Cu-formed metal film 72 is etched as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C to be exposed to the patterned trench 74 of the patterned mask 74. The inner metal film is removed by etching of a gas cluster. Further, by scanning the holding stage 16 in the X-direction Y by the scanning actuator 20, the gas cluster beam 70 can be irradiated onto the wafer W surface and etched.

The complex Cu( hfac ) 2 of the organometallic complex formed by the reaction diffraction method has a relatively high vapor pressure and is easily removed by sublimation. Here, the unoxidized copper should not be produced with H (hfac) at least not above 26 5 ° C. However, as described above, it is oxidized to monovalent or divalent copper due to the degree of 1 50 °C. That is, it is easy to react with H (hfac), and the impact energy of the gas group 70 is likely to be locally 150 ° C or higher, whereby the vapor pressure can be compared with the local, in other words, the Cu( hfac) 2 complex metal which is easy to sublimate Compound). Wrong into it. It is 72, the total of the crystals under the copper, because only the reaction is formed in the bundle (there are -15-201250807 the complex, as described above, because the vapor pressure is higher, even if the wafer W is not It is easy to sublimate and remove by heating itself to a high temperature. Fig. 3 shows the vapor pressure curve of the complex compound Cu (hfac) 2, for example, at a temperature of about 150 ° C, the vapor pressure is about 10 Torr. Therefore, the gas cluster bundle 70 The impact energy is converted into thermal energy, and at a microscopic level, it is easy to become a temperature of 150 ° C, and the processing pressure in the processing space 6, for example, because it is lower than 100 Torr, it can be known that CU (hfac) 2 can be easily sublimated. Further, as described above, when the gas cluster bundle 70 starts to impinge on the metal film 72 of Cu, the oxidizing gas 〇2 is almost consumed by the oxidation reaction of the impact surface with Cu, and is diffused around the surface due to the impact surface. In the numerator, almost no oxygen is contained. It is assumed that even if there is unreacted 02, the kinetic energy is lost because of the second diffusion, and even if it hits the side wall, no oxidation reaction occurs. Therefore, the diffusion molecule produces two etchings. The probability of the etching is very small, and the side etching is suppressed, and as a result, the side wall of the metal etching groove can be kept in a smooth shape. At this time, in particular, the amount of the oxidizing gas contributing to the oxidation of copper is set to be less than that of the mixed gas. The amount of the excess oxidizing gas can be eliminated, and the occurrence of the side etching can be further suppressed. In order to sufficiently exert the effect of suppressing the side etching, it is preferable to set the amount of the mixed gas to be 5 times or more the amount of the oxidizing gas. In particular, by appropriately controlling the ratio of the amount of the oxidizing gas and the amount of the mixed gas, the amount of occurrence of the side etching can be adjusted and suppressed. Further, the amount of the rare gas is preferably less, for example, 1 of the oxidizing gas. The amount of /10 is sufficient, however, the flow rate thereof is not particularly limited. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the oxide of the film of the gold film 16-201250807, which is composed of, for example, copper is formed to form an oxide. An oxidizing gas, for example, a misaligned gas in which ruthenium 2 and the above oxide are combined to form an organic metal complex, and a mixed gas such as H (hfac) and a rare gas is thermally inflated. The gas cluster bundle 70 is formed, and the gas cluster beam is caused to impinge on the metal object of the object to be processed, for example, the semiconductor wafer W, to etch the metal film, so that the metal film which cannot be etched by the conventional clustering method can be utilized. The etching process of the oxidizing gas, the mixed gas, and the rare gas is performed. <Modification> Next, a processing apparatus according to a modification of the present invention will be described. In the foregoing embodiment, the gas cluster is bundled. The gas cluster bundle 70 formed by the forming means 38 directly impinges on the semiconductor wafer W. However, it is not limited thereto, and the gas cluster bundle 70 may be ionized on the way and further accelerated to impact the wafer. A modification of such a processing apparatus is shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a view showing an example of a processing apparatus according to a modification of the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted. As shown in Fig. 4, in the acceleration device, a partition wall 80 parallel to the slag plate 10 is provided on the processing space 6 side of the processing container 4, and is formed between the partition wall 80 and the slag plate 10 in the region. Ionization space 82. Next, in the central portion of the partition wall 80 of the area, a small aperture illumination hole 84 is formed by a method in which the gas slag hole 12 of the slag plate 1 and the nozzle portion 44 of the injection mechanism 40 are located on a straight line, -17-201250807, The gas cluster bundle 70 passes therethrough. Further, an exhaust port 86 is formed at the bottom of the processing container 4 partitioning the ionization space 82, and the exhaust port 86 is connected to the exhaust passage 30 of the exhaust system 28, and can be performed in the ionization space 82. Vacuum suction. Next, in the ionization space 82, an ionizer 88 corresponding to the path through which the gas cluster bundle 70 passes is provided, and the gas cluster bundle 70 in the ionizer 88 is ionized. For the ionizer 88, for example, an electron pumping ionizer having an incandescent lamp (not shown) for releasing hot electrons for ionization can be used. An accelerating electrode portion 90 for accelerating the ionized gas cluster bundle 70 is provided on a path on the downstream side of the ionizer 88. The accelerating electrode portion 90 has a plurality of array annular electrodes 92 arranged in parallel along the direction in which the gas clusters 70 are conducted. Further, an acceleration power source (not shown) is connected between the plurality of array electrodes 92 to apply a high voltage for beam acceleration. According to this modification, not only the same operational effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be exhibited, but the gas cluster bundle 70 ionized by the ionizer 88 is accelerated by the accelerating electrode portion 90 and impacts the wafer W, so that it can be correspondingly The etching process of the metal film is efficiently performed. As described above, according to the metal film processing method and the processing apparatus of the above-described embodiments and modifications, the following advantageous effects can be exhibited. Because it is a non-plasma process, there is no halogen radical or ion corrosion on the sidewall surface. Therefore, a good etched shape can be obtained compared to the RIE method. Similarly, the plasma-activated etching gas is not polymerized and accumulates on the mask surface and etches the sidewalls. Therefore, the processing of the processed substrate after etching 18-201250807 net process is greatly simplified. Since the introduced gas forms high vapor and is vented, the processing container can be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the high efficiency of use of the device within the device processing container. The metal film formed on the surface of the object to be processed is formed by oxidizing the element of the metal film to form a mixed gas of the oxide compound oxide to form an organic metal complex gas, and performing thermal expansion and expansion to cause the gas cluster to be shocked. The metal film to be processed described above can be processed without etching by a conventional clustering method by using a cluster of oxidizing gas gases. The above is a detailed description of the present invention with reference to the appended drawings. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the technical scope of the present invention. In the present invention, for example, the above embodiment is described by taking the body time as an example. However, the gas of the present invention may be one or more selected from the group consisting of o2, h2o, and h2. In addition, in the above embodiment, when the H(hfac) of the organic acid 1 is used, the number of times of the deposition of the amount of the derivative of the side wall of the organometallic complex which is exemplified is maintained, and the process is maintained because the compound is used.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where Ar is used as a rare gas is taken as an example. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and other rare gases such as He, Ne, Kr, and Xe may be used. Further, in the above embodiment, the etching is performed by using the material of the etched metal film 72 as copper as an example. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the metal film 72 is made of Cu, The present invention is also applicable to etching of a material selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Pt, and Ru.
