摘要:
In a method of forming a thin film using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method, a thin film is formed on a substrate in cycles. Each cycle includes injecting a first reactant including an atom that forms the thin film and a ligand into a reaction chamber that includes the substrate, purging the first reactant, injecting a second reactant into the reaction chamber, and purging the second reactant. The thin film is formed by a chemical reaction between the atom that forms the thin film and a second reactant whose binding energy with respect to the atom that forms the thin film is larger than the binding energy of the ligand with respect to the atom that forms the thin film and the generation of by-products is prevented. The generation of a hydroxide by-product in the thin film is suppressed by using a material that does not include a hydroxide as the second reactant, purging the second reactant, and reacting the second reactant with a third reactant that includes hydroxide. After purging the second reactant, the third reactant for removing impurities and improving the stoichiometry of the thin film is injected and purged. In this way, it is possible to obtain a thin film that does not include impurities and whose stoichiometry is excellent.

A metal nitride layer is formed on a substrate by exposing the substrate to a mixture including a nitrogen-containing organometallic gas and a hydrogen plasma to form a metal nitride layer on the substrate. The nitrogen-containing organometallic gas may comprise penta dimethyl amido tantalum (Ta(N(CH.sub.3).sub.2).sub.5, and the metal nitride layer may be formed by exposing comprises the step of exposing the substrate to a mixture including penta dimethyl amido tantalum gas (Ta(N(CH.sub.3).sub.2).sub.5 and a hydrogen plasma at a temperature greater than 300.degree. C., more preferably, at a temperature of 300.degree. C. to 750.degree. C. and a pressure of 0.5 torr to 1.5 torr. The penta dimethyl amido tantalum gas (Ta(N(CH.sub.3).sub.2).sub.5 is preferably provided to a chamber in which the substrate is placed at a mass flow rate of 50 sccm to 150 sccm, and the hydrogen plasma referably provided to the chamber at a mass flow rate of 30 sccm to 100 sccm. The hydrogen plasma may be produced external to the chamber in an atmosphere comprising hydrogen and an inert gas such as argon. A tantalum nitride (Ta.sub.3 N.sub.5 layer having a resistivity less than 1.times.10.sup.4 .mu..OMEGA.-cm may thereby be formed.
摘要:
A barrier layer is included in an integrated circuit capacitor, between a conductive plug and a lower capacitor electrode. The barrier layer includes refractory metal and grain boundary filling material. The grain boundary filling material preferably is Ce, Zr, Y, Th, Hf, La, Al and/or oxides thereof, and is preferably less that 20 atomic percent of the barrier layer. The barrier layer can reduce and preferably prevent diffusion of oxygen, and can thereby reduce the leakage current and oxidation of the integrated circuit capacitor.

A capacitor in a semiconductor device having a dielectric film formed of high dielectric material and a manufacturing method therefor are provided. The capacitor consists of electrodes including a dielectric film and an amorphous SiC layer. Thus, the diffusion of oxygen atoms through a grain boundary into an underlayer and the formation of an oxide layer on the surface of the SiC layer can both be prevented, providing for a highly reliable capacitor electrode and an equivalent oxide thickness which is no thicker than required.
摘要:
A wiring layer of a semiconductor device having a novel contact structure is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, an insulating layer having an opening (contact hole or via), a reactive spacer formed on the sidewall of the opening or a reactive layer formed on the sidewall and on the bottom surface of the opening and a first conductive layer formed on the insulating layer which completely fills the opening. Since the reactive spacer or layer is formed on the sidewall of the opening, when the first conductive layer material is deposited, large islands will form to become large grains of the sputtered Al film. Also, providing the reactive spacer or layer improves the reflow of the first conductive layer during a heat-treating step for filling the opening at a high temperature below a melting temperature. Thus, complete filling of the opening with sputtered Al can be ensured. All the contact holes, being less than 1 .mu.m in size and having an aspect ratio greater than 1.0, can be completely filled with Al, to thereby enhance the reliability of the wiring of a semiconductor device.
摘要:
The invention relates to a wiring structure for a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same, which fills up a contact hole of below one half micron. An insulating layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a contact hole is formed in the insulating layer. On the insulating layer, a first metal is deposited via a CVD method to form a CVD metal layer or a CVD metal plug filling up the contact hole. Then, the thus-obtained CVD metal layer or the CVD metal plus is heat-treated in a vacuum at a high temperature below the melting point of the first metal, thereby planarizing the surface of the CVD metal layer. A second metal is deposited via a sputtering method on the CVD metal layer or on the CVD metal plug to thereby form a sputtered metal layer. The contact hole is filled up with the first metal by the CVD method and then a reliable sputtered metal layer is deposited via a sputtering method. The wiring layer can be used for semiconductor devices of the next generation.
