Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a semiconductor structure and a forming method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, the deposition of metal tungsten (CVD W) by chemical vapor deposition and / or the deposition of metal tungsten (ALD W) by atomic vapor deposition has good step coverage and is widely used in the manufacture of metal interconnect filling layers in semiconductor devices. The reducing precursors used in the CVD W or ALD W process are mainly silane (SiH4), borane (B2H6) and hydrogen (H2). Usually, SiH4 or B2H6 is used to reduce tungsten hexafluoride (WF6) in the initial nucleation stage to form a thin tungsten seed layer. Compared with the SiH4 precursor, the W grain size formed by the nucleation of the B2H6 precursor is larger, and the resistivity of the W film is significantly reduced. However, the disadvantage of B2H6 as a precursor is that the formed W film has poor adhesion, which can easily cause the W film to peel off from the substrate in the subsequent chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process, forming defects, thereby affecting the product yield.

In addition, in the following description, descriptions of known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concepts of the present invention.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, a component is formed on another component, connected to another component, and / or coupled to another component, which may include an embodiment in which the component is formed to directly contact another component, and may also include an embodiment in which an additional component is formed between these components so that these components are not in direct contact. Furthermore, in order to easily describe the relationship between one component and another component of an embodiment of the present invention, spatially related terms may be used herein, for example, "lower", "higher", "horizontally", "vertically", "above", "above", "below", "under", "upward", "downward", "top", "bottom", and other derived spatially related terms (e.g., "horizontally", "vertically", "upwardly", "downwardly", etc.). These spatially related terms are intended to cover different orientations of devices containing these components.

[0075] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor structure cross section. Figure 1 The semiconductor structure shown includes:

[0076] A substrate 100 and a dielectric layer 101 on the substrate 100, wherein the dielectric layer 101 has a groove 102, and a barrier layer 103 is provided on the surface of the dielectric layer 101 and the groove 102, wherein the dielectric layer includes but is not limited to silicon dioxide (SiO2), etc., and the material of the barrier layer 103 includes but is not limited to titanium nitride (TiN), a mixture of titanium nitride and titanium (Ti&TiN), etc. The cross-sectional height H of the groove 102 is about 40 to 4000 nm, and the bottom width D is 20 to 200 nm. A metal tungsten layer 104 is provided on the surface of the barrier layer 103, which is formed by ALD or CVD deposition using B2H6 as a precursor (B2H6-base WCVD / B2H6-base WALD).

[0077] Specifically, Figure 2a-2b Schematic diagram of each stage of the traditional B2H6-base WCVD process. Figure 2a-2b As shown, the conventional B2H6-base WCVD process first introduces B2H6 gas 11 and tungsten hexafluoride (WF6) 12 into the reaction chamber to deposit a W seed layer 104a on the barrier layer 103, wherein the thickness of the barrier layer 103 is about 2 to 20 nm, and the thickness of the tungsten seed layer 104a is about 2 to 10 nm. Then, tungsten hexafluoride gas 13 and hydrogen gas 14 are introduced to deposit tungsten bulk (Bulk W) until a Figure 1 The metal tungsten layer 104 shown has a thickness of about 10-100 nm, wherein the metal tungsten layer 104 includes a tungsten seed layer 104 a (not shown).

[0078] However, the disadvantage of using B2H6 as a precursor is that the metal tungsten layer formed has poor adhesion. The reason is that during the deposition process, B2H6 diffuses between the dielectric layer and the barrier layer and decomposes to form boron, or boron atoms diffuse into the dielectric layer and aggregate between the barrier layer, forming an unnecessary defect layer (unknown layer) 105 (such as Figure 3 When Figure 3 After the semiconductor structure shown is processed by the CMP process, the defect layer (unknown layer) 105 causes the adhesion between the barrier layer 103 and the dielectric layer 101 to deteriorate, and then in the subsequent chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process, it is easy to cause the metal tungsten layer 104 and the barrier layer 103 to peel off from the dielectric layer 101, thereby forming defects and affecting the product yield.

[0079] To this end, the present invention provides a method for forming a semiconductor structure. Figure 4 A process flow chart of forming a semiconductor structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, comprising:

[0080] providing a substrate;

[0081] forming a dielectric layer on the substrate, wherein the dielectric layer has a groove;

[0082] Forming a barrier layer on the dielectric layer and the surface of the groove

[0083] forming a diffusion barrier layer on the barrier layer;

[0084] forming a first tungsten seed layer on the diffusion barrier layer;

[0085] forming a second tungsten seed layer on the first tungsten seed layer; and

[0086] forming a metal tungsten block on the second tungsten seed layer;

[0087] The first tungsten seed layer does not contain boron, and the second tungsten seed layer contains boron.

[0088] As mentioned above, since the boron atoms in the boron-containing tungsten seed layer are easy to diffuse to the surface of the dielectric layer and form defects, the present invention forms a diffusion barrier layer on the basis of the barrier layer to block the diffusion of boron. The barrier layer includes but is not limited to a titanium nitride (TiN) layer, a mixed layer of titanium nitride and titanium (Ti&TiN) or a tungsten nitride (WNx) layer. The barrier layer can block part of the boron diffusion, and can also allow W to be deposited and adhered to the surface of the barrier layer to play an adhesion role. However, due to the defects in the barrier layer, its film layer is not dense enough, so that part of the boron diffuses into the interface between the dielectric layer and the barrier layer, thereby causing the adhesion between the dielectric layer and the barrier layer to decrease. By adding a diffusion barrier layer on the barrier layer, the diffusion barrier layer can provide a nucleation position for the subsequent first tungsten seed layer on the one hand to reduce the time of crystal nucleus incubation, and on the other hand, the diffusion barrier layer can fill the defects of the barrier layer and prevent the reaction gas from diffusing to the barrier layer, thereby reducing the risk of B2H6-base W and the barrier layer peeling off from the surface of the dielectric layer during the subsequent CMP planarization process.

[0089] In some embodiments, the diffusion barrier layer is a silicon atomic layer.

[0090] In some embodiments, the diffusion barrier layer has a thickness of 0.1-5 nm, the first tungsten seed layer has a thickness of 0.1-5 nm, and the second tungsten seed layer has a thickness of 2-10 nm.

[0091] In some embodiments, the above forming method specifically includes:

[0092] Passing silane gas to pre-treat the barrier layer, and performing a deposition reaction to form the silicon atomic layer;

[0093] Introducing a first gas onto the silicon atomic layer to cause a deposition reaction to form the first tungsten seed layer;

[0094] Introducing a second gas and borane (B2H6) gas onto the first tungsten seed layer to form the second tungsten seed layer by deposition reaction;

[0095] Introducing a third gas and hydrogen gas onto the second tungsten seed layer to form the metal tungsten bulk material by deposition reaction;

[0096] The deposition is chemical vapor deposition or atomic vapor deposition, and the first gas, the second gas and the third gas are all tungsten hexafluoride (WF6).

[0097] In the above process, the silicon atomic layer plays two main roles: one is to provide nucleation sites to reduce the incubation time of the crystal nucleus; the other is to use the amorphous Si generated by SiH4 to fill the defects of the barrier layer, reduce the diffusion of B2H6 and WF6 to the bottom of the barrier layer, and thus prevent the problem of metal tungsten or metal tungsten and the barrier layer from easily falling off from the dielectric layer. In addition, since no other impurities (such as boron) are introduced during the formation of the second tungsten seed layer, the resistance of the formed tungsten layer is relatively low.

[0098] Figure 5a to Figure 5h The schematic diagram of the structure cross section of each stage of the process of forming a metal tungsten layer in one embodiment of the present invention is shown. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate 200, a dielectric layer 201, a groove 202, and a barrier layer 203 located on the surface of the dielectric layer 201 and the groove 202. Figure 5a As shown, after forming the barrier layer 203, firstly, silane (SiH4) gas 20 is introduced into the reaction chamber for pretreatment, and a thin silicon atomic layer 204 is formed on the barrier layer (see Figure 5b ), the thickness of the silicon atomic layer 204 is about 0.1 to 5 nm. Then, Figure 5c As shown, a first gas of tungsten hexafluoride 30 is introduced onto the formed silicon atom layer 204 to form a first tungsten seed layer 205a (see Figure 5d ), the thickness of the first tungsten seed layer 205a is about 0.1-5 nm. Figure 5e As shown, a second gas of tungsten hexafluoride 40 and a borane (B2H6) gas 50 are introduced onto the first tungsten seed layer 205a to form a second tungsten seed layer 205b (see Figure 5f ), the thickness of the second tungsten seed layer is 2-10 nm. Then, a third gas of tungsten hexafluoride 60 and hydrogen 70 is introduced onto the second tungsten seed layer 205b (such as Figure 5g ), a tungsten bulk material (bulkW) (not shown) is reactively deposited until the required thickness to fill the trench is reached, and the thickness of the metal tungsten layer 205 finally formed is about 10 to 100 nm (see Figure 5h ), wherein the metal tungsten layer 205 includes the aforementioned first tungsten seed layer, the second tungsten seed layer and a tungsten bulk material.

[0099] In some embodiments, the silane gas is introduced at a flow rate of 30 to 300 sccm for a reaction of 2 to 10 seconds to form the silicon atomic layer. In some embodiments, the first gas is introduced at a flow rate of 30 to 300 sccm for a reaction of 0.1 to 10 seconds to form the first tungsten seed layer. In some embodiments, the second gas is introduced at a flow rate of 30 to 300 sccm, and the borane gas is introduced at a flow rate of 30 to 300 sccm to form the second tungsten seed layer. The flow rate can be selected according to actual needs. A small flow rate has good uniformity and a long reaction time, while a large flow rate has poor uniformity and a short reaction time. In some embodiments, the second tungsten seed layer is formed by atomic vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition. In atomic vapor deposition, the borane gas and the second gas are introduced in sequence for 2 to 10 pulse cycles. Among them, the borane gas introduction time is 1 to 5 seconds, preferably 2 to 3 seconds; the WF6 gas introduction time is 0.2 to 1 second, preferably 0.2 to 0.5 seconds. B2H6 and WF6 are introduced separately, and the order is B2H6 first, then purge with inert gas, such as argon (Ar) for 3-5s, then introduce WF6, and then purge with Ar for 3-5s, which is one cycle.

[0100] In some embodiments, the flow rate of the third gas is 30-300 sccm, and the flow rate of the hydrogen gas is 200-20000 sccm. Hydrogen (H2) as a reducing agent does not introduce impurities, and can ensure that the tungsten (W) metal generated by the reaction has high purity and low resistance.

[0101] In some embodiments, before the above pretreatment, the temperature of the reaction chamber is first set to 280-400°C, and the pressure is adjusted to 40-300 torr, and then the subsequent chemical vapor deposition or atomic vapor deposition steps are performed. The deposition temperature of the first tungsten seed layer and the second tungsten seed layer is preferably 300°C, and the pressure is preferably 40 torr.

[0102] In some embodiments, the material of the dielectric layer includes but is not limited to silicon dioxide, and the material of the substrate includes but is not limited to one or more of aluminum, copper, titanium nitride, cobalt silicide and silicon.

[0103] In some embodiments, the material of the substrate is selected from one or more of aluminum, copper, titanium nitride, cobalt silicide and silicon. The semiconductor structure forming method of the present invention has a wide range of applications. By selecting different substrates, it can be used to solve the problem of poor adhesion of tungsten metal layers formed by depositing B2H6 as a precursor in different structures, such as buried word lines, gate structures, semiconductor layer interconnection contact structures (contact, via), etc.

[0112] A metal tungsten block is formed on the second tungsten seed layer;

[0113] The first tungsten seed layer does not contain boron, and the second tungsten seed layer contains boron.

[0114] In some embodiments, the diffusion barrier layer has a thickness of 0.1-5 nm; the first tungsten seed layer has a thickness of 0.1-5 nm; the second tungsten seed layer has a thickness of 2-10 nm. In some embodiments, the diffusion barrier layer is a silicon atomic layer.

[0115] In some embodiments, the barrier layer is a titanium nitride layer, a mixed layer of titanium nitride and titanium, or a tungsten nitride layer.

[0116] The semiconductor structure provided by the present invention has a diffusion barrier layer, so that the metal tungsten layer composed of the first tungsten seed layer, the second tungsten seed layer and the metal tungsten block has the advantages of low resistivity and strong adhesion. After the subsequent CMP process, the tungsten metal layer in the semiconductor structure further formed, such as the gate, tungsten plug structure, etc., is not easy to be peeled off, and the defects are few, thereby the product yield is high.
