TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of integrated circuit manufacturing, and in particular to a manufacturing method of a semiconductor integrated circuit. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of semiconductor integrated circuit technology, people have higher requirements for the performance of semiconductor devices. However, the electrostatic discharge phenomenon occurs in various links such as packaging, packaging, transportation and use of semiconductor integrated circuits, causing the device to be electrostatically broken down and fail, so it is important for semiconductor devices to have electrostatic protection function.
[0003] For trench type semiconductor devices such as trench type MOSFET, SGT, IGBT, a typical manufacturing method with electrostatic protection function is to make a back-to-back diode in the trench type semiconductor device. Taking the trench type MOSFET as an example, a relatively thick dielectric layer is usually made outside the cell area of the MOSFET, and then a polysilicon diode is made above the dielectric layer. The characteristics of this method are that the process structure is relatively simple, and the disadvantages are that there is a large height difference between the cell area and the polysilicon diode area, that is, there is a high step, which increases the difficulty of planarization process and contact hole process, and reduces the integration of the device.
[0004] Because of the above problems, a new manufacturing method has emerged, that is, the polysilicon diode is made in the trench, and the top of the polysilicon diode is basically flat with the silicon plane, which solves the problem of height difference and greatly improves the integration of the device, but this method also faces many technical difficulties, the main problem is the isolation between the polysilicon diode and the cell area. Around these problems, the industry has proposed various methods, but there are still some deficiencies in practical application. Here, taking the granted invention patent 201310347156.2 as an example, at least the following problems exist:
[0005] (1) The patent claim 1 described "depositing silicon dioxide in the trench and etching back, forming a thick gate oxide at the bottom of the trench as an insulating layer between the subsequent formed electrostatic discharge protection circuit and the trench type power device, so that the electrostatic discharge protection circuit can be placed in the trench, the thickness of the thick gate oxide is 3000-4000 angstroms", corresponding to the schematic Figure 3 B, this step cannot be realized in practical process, because the area of the electrostatic discharge protection circuit is usually more than 100*100 microns, that is, the size of the trench where the electrostatic discharge protection circuit is located is greater than 100*100 microns, after the deposition of silicon dioxide, the thickness of silicon dioxide in the area outside the trench and the area at the bottom of the trench is the same, according to the step of etching back, it is impossible to selectively remove all the silicon dioxide outside the trench while retaining 3000-4000 angstroms of silicon dioxide in the trench.
[0006] (2) The patent claim 1 described "depositing undoped polysilicon, first polysilicon implantation, applying photoresist in the area where the electrostatic discharge protection circuit is to be formed, second polysilicon implantation, etching back to remove polysilicon above the trench, forming gate polysilicon and electrostatic discharge protection circuit polysilicon respectively", corresponding to the schematic Figure 3 C~3F, this step has structural problems in the practical process, because the boron ions in the second polysilicon implantation are only distributed in the surface layer of the polysilicon, and in the step of etching back to remove the polysilicon above the trench, the polysilicon above the trench in the area not covered by the photoresist is all etched off (corresponding to the schematic Figure 3 F), that is, the boron ion-doped surface layer of the polysilicon is etched off, so the doping purpose of the gate polysilicon cannot be achieved, that is, the gate polysilicon remaining in the trench is actually not doped, and the MOSFET cannot work normally.
[0007] (3) After the process step described in the patent claim 1 "etching back to remove polysilicon above the trench, forming gate polysilicon and electrostatic discharge protection circuit polysilicon respectively", corresponding to the schematic Figure 3 F, the electrostatic protection circuit polysilicon forms a very high step in the trench, that is, there is a large height difference between the surface of the polysilicon in the trench and the surface of the insulating layer, that is, this manufacturing method does not fundamentally solve the height difference problem, but only transfers the step from outside the trench to inside the trench, and there is still a great difficulty in the subsequent planarization process, and there is still a risk of metal residue at the step position.
[0008] In summary, the invention patent 201310347156.2 has no practical significance in production, and similarly, other published technical materials and patent information also have some problems, and the high step problem in the manufacturing method of the trench-type semiconductor device with electrostatic protection function has not been fundamentally solved.
[0009] The present application is directed to the above problems, and a new manufacturing method is proposed. SUMMARY

[0062] Please refer to Figures 1-A to 1 -B, the present application provides a method of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit 100, comprising the following steps:
[0063] Step S1: growing a hard mask medium layer on a semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor substrate comprising a heavily doped semiconductor substrate 1 and a lightly doped epitaxial layer 2, the hard mask medium layer comprising a first silicon oxide 3, a silicon nitride 4, and a second silicon oxide 5 (see Figure 1 );
[0064] Step S2: using a photoetching and etching process to form a first trench 6 and a second trench 7 on the semiconductor substrate with the hard mask medium layer as a barrier layer (see Figure 2 );
[0065] Step S3: depositing a third silicon oxide 8 (see Fig. 3) ; Figure 3 ) ;
[0066] Step S4: removing the second silicon oxide 5 and the third silicon oxide 8 above the upper surface of the silicon nitride 4 by a chemical mechanical polishing process (see Fig. 4) ; and then removing the silicon nitride 4 (see Fig. 5) ; Figure 4 ) ; Figure 5 ) ;
[0067] Step S5: removing the third silicon oxide 8 and the first silicon oxide 3 in the area outside the first trench 6 by a lithography (see Fig. 6) and etching process, with the photoresist 9 as a barrier layer, and leaving the third silicon oxide 8 at the bottom and sidewall of the first trench 6 (see Fig. 7) ; and then removing the photoresist 9 (see Fig. 8) ; Figure 6 ) ; Figure 7 ) ; Figure 8 ) ;
[0068] Step S6: growing a fourth silicon oxide 10 by a thermal oxidation process (see Fig. 9) ; and then removing the fourth silicon oxide 10 by an etching process (see Fig. 10) ; Figure 9 ) ; Figure 10 ) ;
[0069] Step S7: growing a fifth silicon oxide 11, i.e. a gate oxide layer, by a thermal oxidation process (see Fig. 11) ; depositing a polysilicon 12 (see Fig. 12) ; and first ion implantation doping of the polysilicon 12 to form a first doped polysilicon 12.1 (see Fig. 13) ; Figure 11 ) ; Figure 12 ) ; Figure 13 ) ;
[0070] Step S8: second ion implantation doping of the polysilicon 12 in a partial area by a lithography and ion implantation process, with the photoresist 13 as a barrier layer, to form a second doped polysilicon 12.2 (see Fig. 14) ; Figure 14 ) ;
[0071] Step S9: removing the photoresil 13 and high-temperature annealing to diffuse the dopants of the first ion implantation doping and the second ion implantation doping to the bottom of the polysilicon, and to extend the polysilicon (see Fig. 15) ; Figure 15 ) ;
[0072] Step S10: removing the first doped polysilicon 12.1 and the second doped polysilicon 12.2 above the upper surface of the fifth silicon oxide 11 by a chemical mechanical polishing process, and leaving the polysilicon in the first trench 6 (the first doped polysilicon 12.1) and the polysilicon in the second trench 7 (the second doped polysilicon 12.2) (see Fig. 16) ; Figure 16 ) ;
[0073] Step S11: forming a body region 14 by ion implantation and then annealing (see Fig. 17) ; Figure 17 ) ;
[0074] Step S12: using photolithography, ion implantation, annealing process, forming source region 15, and simultaneously forming third doped polysilicon 12.3 in the set region of first doped polysilicon 12.1 (see Figure 18 ).
[0075] The subsequent process steps are conventional process steps, which are not described here. Among them, the first doped polysilicon 12.1 and the third doped polysilicon 12.3 are the polysilicon diode region of the subsequent polysilicon diode, i.e. the static protection circuit region, and the second doped polysilicon 12.2 is the polysilicon gate of the MOSFET.
[0076] Before high-temperature annealing, the first doped polysilicon 12.1 and the second doped polysilicon 12.2 are only distributed on the surface layer of the polysilicon, and after high-temperature annealing, the dopants are distributed in the entire longitudinal region from the surface to the bottom of the polysilicon.
[0077] It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the thicknesses of the first silicon oxide 3 and the silicon nitride 4 are 200-800 angstroms, and the thickness of the second silicon oxide 5 is 1000-4000 angstroms (the thicknesses of the first silicon oxide 3 and the silicon nitride 4 are thinner).
[0078] It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the depths of the first trench 6 and the second trench 7 are 0.8-1.6 microns, the width W1 of the first trench is 100-400 microns, and the width W2 of the second trench is 0.1-0.5 microns. (The region of the first trench is the region where the polysilicon diode is arranged, and the region of the second trench is the preset MOSFET cell region, which contains several second trenches, and the schematic diagram only shows two second trenches).
[0079] It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the thickness of the third silicon oxide 8 is 2000-5000 angstroms (i.e. 0.2-0.5 microns), and in this deposition process, the second trench 7 is filled with the third silicon oxide 8 because of its small width, and the third silicon oxide 8 uniformly covers the bottom and sidewall of the first trench 6 because of its large width.
[0080] It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the chemical mechanical polishing is from top to bottom, and finally stops at the upper surface of the silicon nitride 4. Because the chemical mechanical polishing is selective, as shown in Figure 4 , the third silicon oxide 8 at the bottom and sidewall of the first trench 6 is retained, and the upper surface of the third silicon oxide 8 at the sidewall position of the first trench 6 is higher than the silicon surface, and the thickness of the height is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the first silicon oxide 3 and the silicon nitride 4.
[0081] It can be understood that in the embodiment, the thickness of the fourth silicon oxide 10 is 200-1300 angstroms, and the thickness of the fourth silicon oxide 10 needs to be less than the sum of the thicknesses of the first silicon oxide 3 and the silicon nitride 4, otherwise, after the step of removing the fourth silicon oxide 10 by etching is completed, the height of the upper surface of the third silicon oxide 8 at the sidewall position of the first trench 6 will be lower than the height of the silicon surface, resulting in that the subsequently formed polysilicon diode fails to have sufficient isolation layer between the silicon base. Figure 16 and Figure 19 It can be understood that in the embodiment, the step of removing the fourth silicon oxide 10 intentionally lowers the height of the upper surface of the third silicon oxide 8 but cannot be lower than the silicon surface.
[0082] It can be understood that in the embodiment, the first-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon and the second-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon are of opposite doping types, and the second-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon has a larger dose, specifically:
[0083] The first-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon is boron with a dose of 1E14-5E14 atoms / CM 2 The second-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon is phosphorus with a dose of 2E15-2E16 atoms / CM 2 Thus, the first doped polysilicon 12.1 is P-type, and the second doped polysilicon 12.2 is N-type; or,
[0084] The first-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon is phosphorus with a dose of 1E14-5E14 atoms / CM 2 The second-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon is boron with a dose of 2E15-2E16 atoms / CM 2 Thus, the first doped polysilicon 12.1 is N-type, and the second doped polysilicon 12.2 is P-type.
[0085] It can be understood that in the embodiment, the step of forming a source region by photolithography, ion implantation and annealing has the same type of dopant as the second-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon, i.e., the opposite type of the first-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon, and has a larger dose than the first-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon. Specifically:
[0086] The first-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon is boron with a dose of 1E14-5E14 atoms / CM 2 The source region ion implantation doping is phosphorus or arsenic with a dose of 2E15-8E15 atoms / CM 2 Thus, the third doped polysilicon 12.3 is N-type;
[0087] Or, the first-time ion implantation doping of polysilicon is phosphorus with a dose of 1E14-5E14 atoms / CM 2The source region is implanted with boron ions at a dose of 2E15-8E15 / cm2 2 The third doped polysilicon 12.3 formed is P-type.
[0088] And, the following important features are provided:
[0089] The third doped polysilicon 12.3 is formed in the preset region and is spacedly distributed in several regions, Figure 18 The example shown is three regions spacedly distributed in a central symmetrical arrangement (corresponding to a planar schematic Figure 20 ); the regions between the spacedly distributed third doped polysilicon 12.3 are the first doped polysilicon 12.1, and the doping types of the two are opposite, forming an NPNPN... or PNPNP... staggered arrangement, i.e., a back-to-back polysilicon diode (a polysilicon diode in series with a forward PN junction and a reverse PN junction), and in subsequent process steps, the first contact hole 16.1 and the second contact hole 16.2 are made to lead out the two ends of the back-to-back polysilicon diode, Figure 19 and Figure 20 as shown, and are respectively connected to the gate and the source of the MOSFET, i.e., a MOSFET integrated circuit with a self-provided electrostatic protection function is formed.
[0090] After step S9, as shown in Figure 15 , the region of the first doped polysilicon 12.1 completely covers and is larger than the region where the first trench 6 is located, and the region of the second doped polysilicon 12.2 completely covers and is larger than the region where the second trench 7 is located.
[0091] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application can include the following beneficial effects:
[0092] The polysilicon diode formed by the present application is completely located in the trench, the top of the polysilicon diode is at the same level as the upper surface of the silicon base of the cell region, and the high step problem existing in the traditional manufacturing method is completely eliminated, so that the difficulty of the planarization process step and the like can be reduced, the process risk can be reduced, and the integration of the chip can be improved; the isolation layer, i.e., the third silicon oxide of the first trench sidewall, between the polysilicon diode and the cell region is uniformly covered from the bottom to the top of the first trench, and is a very safe and reliable isolation layer.
[0093] The manufacturing method disclosed by the present application is formed after repeated research and repeated argumentation of all steps from practice, rather than a simple process combination based on imagination, and compared with the manufacturing method for forming a polysilicon diode in a trench disclosed in the existing literature and patents, the present application has more practical significance and feasibility.
[0094] The above merely illustrates the specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any skilled person in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, and these modifications or replacements shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
