Abstract:
A semiconductor device and its manufacturing method, wherein the NMOS device is covered by a layer of silicon nitride film having a high ultraviolet light absorption coefficient through PECVD, said silicon nitride film can well absorb ultraviolet light when being subject to the stimulated laser surface anneal so as to achieve a good dehydrogenization effect, and after dehydrogenization, the silicon nitride film will have a high tensile stress; since the silicon nitride film has a high ultraviolet light absorption coefficient, there is no need to heat the substrate, thus avoiding the adverse influences to the device caused by heating the substrate to dehydrogenize, and maintaining the heat budget brought about by the PECVD process.
Abstract:
The present application discloses provides a method for planarizing an interlayer dielectric layer, comprising the steps of: providing a multilayer structure including at least one sacrificial layer and at least one insulating layer under the sacrificial layer on the semiconductor substrate and the first gate stack, performing a first RIE on the multilayer structure, in which a reaction chamber pressure is controlled in such a manner that an etching rate of the portion of the at least one sacrificial layer at a center of a wafer is higher than that at an edge of the wafer, so as to obtain a concave etching profile; performing a second RIE on the multilayer structure to completely remove the sacrificial layer and a part of the insulating layer, so as to obtain the insulating layer having a planar surface which serves as an interlayer dielectric layer. The planarization process can replace a CMP process for providing an interlayer dielectric layer having a planar surface, which achieves a relative larger available area of the wafer.
