摘要:
A method is described for making capacitor-under-bit line (CUB) DRAM cells with improved overlay margins between bit lines and capacitor top electrodes. After forming FETs for the memory cells, an interpolysilicon oxide (IPO) layer is deposited, and first and second plug contacts are formed in the IPO to the FET source/drain areas for capacitors and bit line contacts, respectively. A capacitor node oxide is deposited, and first openings are etched in which crown capacitor bottom electrodes are formed. After etching back the node oxide a thin interelectrode dielectric layer is formed and a conformal conducting layer is deposited to form capacitor top electrodes. A photoresist mask is used to etch openings in the conducting layer over the second plug contacts, and an isotropic etch is used to recess the openings under the mask to increase the spacing between the capacitor top electrodes and the bit line contacts to improve the overlay margin. The photoresist mask is removed and an interlevel dielectric (ILD) layer is deposited. Bit-line contact openings are etched in the ILD layer aligned over the recessed openings and in the node oxide to the second contact plugs. Bit-line contact plugs are formed extending through the recessed openings, and a first conducting layer is deposited and patterned to form bit lines and to complete the memory cells for the DRAM.

A new method is provided to create a gradated dopant concentration in the contact plug of DRAM devices whereby a high dopant concentration is present at the bottom of the plug and a low dopant concentration is present at the top of the plug. Two layers of dielectric are deposited; the upper layer serves as a layer to adjust the dopant concentration in the lower layer. This adjustment is done by Rapid Thermal anneal of both layers of dielectric. After the dopant concentration has been adjusted, the upper layer of dielectric is removed and the upper section of the contact node is formed using lightly doped poly. The high dopant concentration at the bottom of the contact plug results in low contact resistance between the plug and the underlying silicon substrate. A low dopant concentration at the top surface of the contact plug results in low oxidation of the surface of the plug.

A process for reducing the aspect ratio, for narrow diameter contact holes, formed in thick insulator layers, used to integrate logic and DRAM memory devices, on the same semiconductor chip, has been developed. The process of reducing the aspect ratio, of these contact holes, features initially forming, via patterning procedures, lower, narrow diameter contact holes, to active device regions, in the logic area, while also forming self-aligned contact openings to source/drain regions in the DRAM memory region. After forming tungsten structures, in the lower, narrow diameter contact holes, polycide bitline, and polysilicon capacitor structures, are formed in the DRAM memory region, via deposition, and patterning, of upper level insulator layers, and polysilicon and polycide conductive layers. Upper, narrow diameter openings, are then formed in the upper level insulator layers, exposing the top surface of tungsten structures, located in the lower, narrow diameter contact holes. The formation of upper tungsten structures, in the upper, narrow diameter contact openings completes the process of forming metal structures, in narrow diameter openings, with reduced aspect ratios, achieved via a two stage contact hole opening, and a two stage metal filling procedure.

摘要:
A method of improving the deep contact processing window is described. Semiconductor device structures in and on a semiconductor substrate are covered with a dielectric layer. A polysilicon layer is deposited overlying the dielectric layer. The polysilicon layer is etched away where it is not covered by a photoresist mask to form a polysilicon hard mask. A contact opening is etched through the dielectric layer to the semiconductor substrate where the deep contact is to be made where the dielectric layer is not covered by the polysilicon hard mask. Thereafter the photoresist mask is removed. A photoresist layer is deposited overlying the polysilicon hard mask and filling the contact opening. The polysilicon hard mask and the photoresist layer not within the contact opening are polished away wherein the photoresist layer remaining within the contact opening protects the contact opening from contamination during polishing. Thereafter, the photoresist layer within the contact opening is removed and a metal layer is deposited within the contact opening to complete the deep contact in the fabrication of an integrated circuit device.

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a cylindrical capacitor which begins by forming an insulating layer and a passivation layer composed of silicon nitride is over a substrate. A plug contact opening is formed through the passivation layer and the insulating layer. The insulating layer in the plug contact opening is selectively wet etched. The wet etching forms an overhanging portion of the passivation layer. A bottom plug is formed in the contact opening. A first dielectric layer having a cylindrical electrode opening is formed over passivation layer and the plug is exposed. A second polysilicon layer is formed over the first dielectric layer and in the cylindrical openings. A second dielectric layer is formed over the second polysilicon layer and in the cylindrical electrode opening. The second dielectric layer and the second polysilicon layer are planarized. The remaining second polysilicon layer in the cylindrical opening forms a cylindrical capacitor electrode over the bottom electrode plug. The first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer are etched away. The overhang portion 21 of the passivation layer 20 and the bottom polysilicon plug 32 prevent the etch from etching voids in the underlying insulating layer 14 when the cylindrical electrode 50 is misaligned relative to the plug.
