Abstract

The invention discloses a high-quality silicon nitride medium passivation layer treatment process based on supercritical fluid. The high-quality silicon nitride medium passivation layer treatment process comprises the following steps: vertically placing a substrate sample with a Si3N4 medium passivation layer into a reaction container; filling deionized water into the reaction container and sealing; controlling the pressure intensity, and filling CO2 or N2O supercritical gas into the reaction container; heating and pressurizing the reaction container, and maintaining the pressure to enable the interior of the reaction container to be in a supercritical state; keeping supercritical state treatment, performing pressure reduction treatment on the reaction container, and keeping the supercritical treatment condition of 20-22MPa; and after the reaction is finished, cooling the reaction container, and taking out the reaction container when the pressure is reduced to atmospheric pressure. According to the method, the trap and the interface state in the Si3N4 dielectric layer are passivated at low temperature and high pressure, the operation is simple and convenient, and the problems caused by the high-temperature annealing process are avoided, so that the quality of the Si3N4 dielectric layer is improved, the breakdown electric field is improved, and the leakage current density is reduced.
