Memory cell structure in which a capacitor is formed in the uppermost layer of plural metal wiring layers by connecting the storage node of the capacitor to a diffusion layer via plugs and pads is adopted. It is desirable that a dielectric film formed in a metal wiring layer under the uppermost layer and a supplementary capacitor composed of a storage node and a plate electrode are connected to the capacitor. It is also desirable that the plate electrode of the capacitor covers the chip.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device having, for example, a memory cell array portion and a peripheral circuit portion is disclosed. By such a method, a first interlayer insulating film is formed on a semiconductor substrate, a first connection hole is formed by selectively removing a predetermined portion of the first interlayer insulating film, the sides of the first hole being substantially vertical to the bottom thereof, a first plug is formed by padding the first hole with a metallic film and, subsequently, a second interlayer insulating film is formed on the first insulating film, a second hole is formed by selectively removing a predetermined portion of the second interlayer insulating film, the sides of the second hole being substantially vertical to the bottom thereof, and a second plug aligned to be in direct connection with the first plug is formed by padding the second hole with the metallic film. A MOS transistor is formed on the semiconductor substrate before the first interlayer insulating film is formed and the first hole formed is extended to expose the diffused layer of the MOS transistor. The surfaces of both the first and second interlayer insulating films are smoothed by a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) method. The process of padding the connection holes with the metallic film is effected through a CVD or selective CVD method.

A steplike offset between a memory cell array region and a peripheral circuit region, which is caused by a capacitor C, is reduced by an insulating film having a thickness substantially equal to the height of the capacitor C. Wiring or interconnection grooves are defined in the neighborhood of the surface of an insulating film whose surface is flattened by a CMP method. Further, connecting holes are defined in lower portions of the bottom faces of the interconnection grooves respectively. Second layer interconnections containing copper are formed within the interconnection grooves, and connecting portions containing copper are formed within the connecting holes. The second layer interconnections and first layer interconnections are connected to each other by the connecting portions whose lengths are shortened. The second layer interconnections and the connecting portions are integrally formed by a damascene method using the CMP method.

摘要:
In forming a metal or metal silicide film by CVD, a fluoro-silane is used as a reaction gas, or a fluoro-silane is added to a source gas. Examples of the metal halide used in the present invention include fluorides and chlorides of tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, tantalum and niobium. Among them, fluorides of tungsten and molybdenum are more desirable particularly from the viewpoint of the availability of the deposited metal or metal silicide. It is preferred that the source gases, i.e. silane series gas and metal halide, be diluted with a carrier gas such as nitrogen, hydrogen, helium or argon, and this is also true of the fluoro-silane. The total pressure is preferably 0.01 to 10 Torr. The reaction temperature is desirably 200.degree. to 800.degree. C., more desirably 300.degree. to 500.degree. C. Plasma CVD instead of thermal CVD may be employed for the purpose of lowering the reaction temperature.
摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device and a manufacturing method therefor provide advantages that undulations are prevented from being produced in polycrystal silicon plugs in bit line contact holes and that the undesired phenomenon of transversally etching silicide film at contacts of the bit lines and the polycrystal silicon plugs is avoided. The bit lines formed when forming a first wiring layer are made of a laminate film having a titanium film, a titanium nitride film and a tungsten film, and a titanium silicide film containing nitrogen or oxygen is formed in contact areas of the bit lines and plugs. A titanium silicide film containing nitrogen or oxygen is also formed in contact areas of the first wiring layer and semiconductor substrate. The titanium silicide film may be replaced by silicide film containing nitrogen or oxygen, cobalt silicide film containing nitrogen or oxygen or cobalt silicide film.

The bit lines BL formed at the time of forming a first wiring layer 18 is made of a laminate film having a titanium film 18a, a titanium nitride film 18b and a tungsten film 18c and a titanium silicide film 20 containing nitrogen or oxygen is formed in the contact areas of the bit lines BL and the plugs 19. A titanium silicide film 20 containing nitrogen or oxygen is also formed in the contact areas of the first wiring layer 18 and the semiconductor substrate 1. The titanium silicide film 20 may be replaced by a tungsten silicide film containing nitrogen or oxygen, a cobalt silicide film containing nitrogen or oxygen or a cobalt silicide film.
