Embodiment Construction

[0044] The inventor analyzed the formation method of the conductive plug in the prior art, and found that: in the process of forming the contact hole, during the process of etching the interlayer dielectric layer and the stress layer by using the ashing process, a polymer will be formed in the contact hole , so after the contact hole is formed, the contact hole needs to be cleaned to remove the polymer. However, the H typically used in the cleaning process 2 SO 4 and H 2 o 2 The mixed solution (SPM) will corrode the side wall of the stress layer. Especially when the material of the stress layer is diamond-like carbon, the SPM acidic solution will corrode the sidewall of the diamond-like carbon stress layer. When the sidewall of the stress layer is corroded, there will be direct contact between the gate and the conductive material in the contact hole, resulting in a short circuit between the gate and the conductive material in the adjacent contact hole, which will inevitabl...

Abstract

The invention discloses an electric conducting plug and a forming method of the electric conducting plug. The forming method of the electric conducting plug comprises the steps that a semiconductor substrate is provided, a grid electrode is formed on the semiconductor substrate, a source region and a drain region are formed in the semiconductor substrate located on the two sides of the grid electrode respectively, a stress layer and an interlayer dielectric layer on the stress layer are formed on the semiconductor substrate, and the stress layer covers the grid electrode, the source region and the drain region; contact holes are formed in the interlayer dielectric layer and the stress layer; a liner layer is formed on the side walls of the contact holes; after the liner layer is formed, the contact holes are cleaned so as to eliminate polymers generated in the process that the contact holes are formed, the liner layer is used for preventing the stress layer from being corroded in the cleaning process of the contact holes, after the contact holes are formed, electric conducting materials are deposited in the contact holes, and the electric conducting plug is formed. Due to the liner layer, the stress layer is prevented from being corroded in the process that the polymers in the contact holes are cleaned later, contact of the grid electrode and the electric conducting plug is further prevented, and good performance of a semiconductor is guaranteed.
