Memory device and method of manufacturing same

Abstract

The invention discloses a memory device and a manufacturing method thereof, and the manufacturing method comprises the steps: sequentially forming a stacking layer, a second sacrificial layer and a first hard mask layer on the surface of a substrate, the stacking layer comprising a plurality of first sacrificial layers and a plurality of interlayer insulating layers which are alternately stacked or comprising a plurality of grids and a plurality of interlayer insulating layers which are alternately stacked; forming a patterned first hard mask layer; forming a plurality of through holes penetrating through the stack layer and reaching the substrate; and removing the second sacrificial layer and the patterned first hard mask layer, wherein the first hard mask layer is a boron-doped amorphous carbon material layer. A boron-doped amorphous carbon material layer (Sophia) is adopted as the first hard mask layer, a pattern can be transferred to a stacking layer through the mask layer with a thinner thickness, and a photoetching machine can compensate overlay alignment precision at a current station in the photoetching process; therefore, photoetching can be completed with higher precision, and the problem of further compression of the photoetching window in the photoetching process is solved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of manufacturing storage devices, and more particularly, to a storage device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique

[0002] As storage devices in semiconductor devices are widely used in daily life, people pay more and more attention to highly integrated electronic devices, and high-speed, low-power, high-density semiconductor storage devices are rapidly developed. 3D NAND device is an emerging flash memory developed by the industry. It solves the limitations brought by 2D NAND devices or planar NAND devices by vertically stacking multi-layer data storage units. It has higher precision and effectively reduces manufacturing costs. and energy consumption. Due to the increasing number of stacked layers of storage devices, the manufacture of important structural vias (Channel Holes) in the storage core area of ​​3D NAND devices requires higher process precision and greater aspect ratios.
