摘要:
A method of delivering two or more mutually-reactive reaction gases when a predetermined film is deposited on a substrate, and a shower head used in the gas delivery method, function to increase the film deposition rate while preventing formation of contaminating particles. In this method, one reaction gas is delivered toward the edge of the substrate, and the other reaction gases are delivered toward the central portion of the substrate, each of the reaction gases being delivered via an independent gas outlet to prevent the reaction gases from being mixed. In the shower head, separate passages are provided to prevent the first reaction gas from mixing with the other reaction gases by delivering the first reaction gas from outlets formed around the edge of the bottom surface of the shower head. The other reaction gases are delivered from outlets formed in the central portion of the bottom surface of the shower head. Accordingly, one of the mutually-reactive gases is delivered toward the central portion of the substrate, and the others are delivered toward the edge of the substrate.
摘要:
A method for forming a metal interconnection filling a contact hole or a groove having a high aspect ratio, and a contact structure fabricated thereby. An interdielectric layer pattern, having a recessed region serving as a contact hole, a via hole or a groove, is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A barrier metal layer is formed on the entire surface of the resultant structure where the interdielectric layer pattern is formed. An anti-nucleation layer is selectively formed only on the non-recessed region of the barrier metal layer. The anti-nucleation layer is formed by forming a metal layer overlying the barrier metal layer in regions other than the recessed region, and then spontaneously oxidizing the metal layer in a vacuum. Also, the anti-nucleation layer may be formed by in-situ forming the barrier metal layer and the metal layer and then oxidizing the metal layer by an annealing process. Subsequently, a metal plug is selectively formed in the recessed region, surrounded by the barrier metal layer, thereby forming a metal interconnection for completely filling the contact hole or the groove having a high aspect ratio. A metal liner may be formed instead of the metal plug, followed by forming a metal layer filling the region surrounded by the metal liner, thereby forming a metal interconnection for completely filling the contact hole or groove having a high aspect ratio.
摘要:
Interconnects for semiconductor devices are formed by forming a reaction control layer on a lower conductive layer of a semiconductor device, forming a reactive metal layer on the reaction control layer, opposite the lower conductive layer, reacting the lower conductive layer with the reactive metal layer, through the reaction control layer, to form an ohmic contact for the semiconductor device, and forming an upper conductive layer on the ohmic contact, opposite the lower conductive layer. Interconnects so formed may provide reduced contact resistance and reduced agglomeration of the ohmic contact region, independent of reaction temperatures. The reactive metal layer is preferably a refractory metal and the reaction control layer is preferably a refractory metal compound. The upper conductive layer is also preferably a refractory metal.
摘要:
A method for forming wiring layer of a semiconductor device for improving the step coverage and filling of the contact hole is disclosed. After forming an underlayer of the wiring layer on a semiconductor substrate, the surface of the underlayer is hydrogen-treated by exposing the underlayer to hydrogen plasma or hydrogen radicals to thereby H-terminate the surface portion of the underlayer. Thus, the characteristics of the underlying layer is improved. When depositing a metal such aluminum or aluminum alloy on the underlayer to thereby form a first conductive layer, large grains of the deposited metal are obtained. The step coverage of the deposited metal layer is enhanced and the mobility of the metal grains is increased. When sputtering the metal at a high temperature or when heat-treating the metal layer which has been formed at a low temperature, the filling of the metal into the contact hole is improved.

A method for forming a metal layer of an ultra-thin film according to metal deposition conditions and a method for forming metal wiring by filling a high aspect-ratio contact hole using cooling step prior to depositing the metal layer. In particular, the additional cooling process is performed before the process of depositing the metal layer and then the deposition process is performed in a state where the temperature of the wafer has been cooled down to a temperature in the range between -25.degree. C. and room temperature. The surface morphology of the deposited metal layer is improved and a continuous ultra-thin film can be obtained. Also, the aluminum filling characteristics in the contact hole having a high aspect-ratio are improved.
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.
