Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor processes, and more particularly to a method for preparing a semiconductor barrier layer and a barrier layer thin film. Background Technology

[0002] In semiconductor manufacturing processes, semiconductors are typically constructed by stacking multiple layers of materials. Different materials between layers, such as metals and oxygen atoms, can diffuse into each other at the junctions between layers, thereby affecting the functional performance of semiconductor devices.

[0003] To address the issue of interlayer diffusion, additional barrier layers are typically fabricated between the layers to prevent interlayer atomic diffusion. For example, in the TiSiN fabrication process, the diffusion channels between layers are mainly the grain boundaries of the TiN matrix. SiN is usually used as the barrier layer material, as it can reduce diffusion at the grain boundaries.

[0004] In existing technologies, thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) is commonly used to deposit the barrier layer structure in TiSiN fabrication. However, the periodic deposition process results in a multi-layered structure, where layered SiN is less likely to diffuse to the grain boundaries to form a reinforcing structure, thus limiting its barrier effect. Furthermore, in existing TiSiN fabrication processes using ALD, the ratio of titanium to silicon atoms is adjusted by regulating the cycle time of TiN and SiN. This adjustment range is narrow and cannot adapt to diverse needs to optimize the TiSiN structure, thus hindering the improvement of the barrier layer's barrier performance.

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the existing technology, there is an urgent need in the field for a method for preparing a semiconductor barrier layer and a barrier layer film, which can be used to block the interlayer diffusion of oxygen, silicon and metal atoms in the upper and lower layers of a semiconductor structure. At the same time, the deposition formula ratio can be adjusted over a wide range to form a concentration gradient of silicides inside the barrier layer, thereby reducing the internal stress of the film and making it easier for silicides to accumulate in the grain boundaries, thereby optimizing the structure of the barrier layer and improving the barrier effect.

Furthermore, to avoid confusion or obscuring the focus of the invention, some specific details will be omitted in the description.

[0036] It is understood that although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various components, regions, layers, and / or parts, these components, regions, layers, and / or parts should not be limited by these terms, and these terms are only used to distinguish different components, regions, layers, and / or parts. Therefore, the first components, regions, layers, and / or parts discussed below may be referred to as second components, regions, layers, and / or parts without departing from some embodiments of the present invention.

[0037] To overcome the aforementioned defects in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing a semiconductor barrier layer and a barrier layer film, which is used to block the interlayer diffusion of oxygen, silicon and metal atoms between the upper and lower layers in a semiconductor structure. At the same time, the deposition formula ratio can be adjusted over a wide range to form a concentration gradient of silicides inside the barrier layer, thereby reducing the internal stress of the film and making it easier for silicides to accumulate in the grain boundaries, thus optimizing the structure of the barrier layer and improving the barrier effect.

[0038] The present invention provides a method for preparing a semiconductor barrier layer, which is used to block the inter-layer diffusion of substances such as oxygen, silicon and metal atoms between upper and lower semiconductor layers. It can be applied to scenarios such as metal gates, polysilicon gates, contact holes and metal interconnects in integrated circuits.

[0039] This preparation method can employ atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology. In each cycle of preparing the barrier layer using ALD, the semiconductor substrate is first heated. In one embodiment, the temperature range for heating the semiconductor substrate is 300–700°C, thereby achieving better deposition reaction results. The following describes the process in conjunction with... Figure 1 The deposition steps of the process are described in detail.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of time pulses for introducing various gases in one cycle during the process of preparing a barrier layer using atomic layer deposition, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 The deposition reaction begins by introducing a reactive gas. First, within the first pulse time t1, a metal compound gas is introduced into the semiconductor substrate within the reaction chamber for deposition. For example, in... Figure 1 In the examples shown, the metal compound gas can be TiCl4.

[0042] Then, during the second pulse time t2, a carrier gas is introduced for purging. This carrier gas can be Ar or N2.

[0043] Then, NH3 is introduced during the third pulse time t3 to carry out the deposition reaction. Finally, the carrier gas is introduced again during the fourth pulse time t4 for purging. Corresponding to the second pulse time t2, the carrier gas can be Ar or N2.

[0044] In one embodiment, the flow rate of each gas entering the reaction chamber in each cycle can be in the range of 50 to 10000 sccm. During the reaction, the flow rate of each gas can be adjusted in real time according to the process requirements.

[0045] Repeat the above steps multiple times until the preset process requirements are met.

[0046] At the same time, such as Figure 1 As shown, after the initial reaction has passed through one or more cycles, silicon source gas is simultaneously introduced during the first pulse time t1 to deposit the metal compound gas simultaneously. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the silicon source gas can be a DCS gas, and the silicon nitride and metal nitride obtained by the deposition reaction include TiN and SiN, respectively.

[0047] In other words, during the initial one or more cycles of the reaction, only a metal compound gas, such as TiCl4 gas, is introduced into the reaction chamber for deposition during the first pulse time t1. Subsequently, while the metal compound gas is introduced during the first pulse time t1, a silicon source gas, such as DCS gas, is also introduced simultaneously, and the deposition reaction proceeds concurrently. In other words, a dual-gas pulse deposition reaction is used during the first pulse time t1.

[0048] In one embodiment, optionally, in the semiconductor barrier layer preparation method provided by the present invention, the duration of each cycle of the atomic layer deposition process ranges from 0.1 to 20 s, and the duration of a single pulse ranges from 0.02 to 10 s, which can be adjusted according to different specific process requirements.

[0049] In addition, and more importantly, in the method for preparing the semiconductor barrier layer provided by this invention, as the reaction proceeds, the flow rate ratio of the silicon source gas and the metal compound gas is gradually increased, so that a concentration gradient is formed in the silicon nitride content of the metal nitride deposited in the barrier layer along the direction close to the semiconductor substrate. Combined with Figure 2 It can more clearly show the process steps and results.

[0050] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor barrier layer device structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 In the semiconductor barrier layer 200 deposited using the process described above by the present invention, since only a metal compound gas such as TiCl4 is introduced for deposition in the initial one or more cycles, a crystalline TiN thin film is formed near the substrate 203, which can reduce the resistivity of the semiconductor structure.

[0052] Subsequently, a silicon source gas, such as DCS gas, is simultaneously introduced during the first pulse time t1. As the reaction proceeds and the TiN film grows, the flow rate ratio of the silicon source gas and the metal compound gas, i.e. the ratio of DCS gas to TiCl4, is gradually increased. The atomic layer deposition process cycle is executed cyclically, so that amorphous SiN can accumulate at the grain boundaries of TiN, thus reinforcing the inherent defects of the barrier layer composed only of TiN.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in this process, the barrier layer 200 formed along the direction close to the semiconductor substrate 203 deposits a concentration gradient of silicon nitride (SiN 201) content in the metal nitride TiN 202. That is, in... Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the concentration of SiN 201 in the barrier layer 200 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Correspondingly, the Si / Ti ratio also forms a concentration gradient from top to bottom, which can reduce the internal stress of the barrier layer 200 and optimize the internal structure of the barrier layer.

[0054] Compared to the existing barrier layer structure in which SiN and TiN are stacked layer by layer, this barrier layer with SiN concentration gradient can enhance the ability of SiN to be enriched at the grain boundaries, thereby improving the longitudinal electron transport efficiency and thus enhancing the barrier performance of the barrier layer.

[0055] In one embodiment, optionally, the gradual increase in the flow ratio of the silicon source gas and the metal compound gas may include: as the reaction proceeds, the flow ratio of the metal compound gas and the silicon source gas introduced into the reaction chamber may be gradually changed from 100:1 to 1:100. The flexible adjustment of the flow ratio can maximize the satisfaction of process requirements, thereby providing operable space for optimizing the internal structure of the barrier layer.

[0056] Accordingly, by adjusting the flow rate of the introduced reaction gas, in one embodiment, the ratio of silicon nitride to metal nitride obtained by the deposition reaction ranges from 0% to 60%.

[0057] It should be noted that both the ratio of reactant gas flow rate and the ratio of deposited compounds mentioned above are exemplary descriptions intended to illustrate that the ratio of reactants in the semiconductor barrier layer preparation method provided by the present invention has a large adjustable range, rather than being used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In practical applications, the ratio can be adjusted according to actual process requirements to obtain the optimal performance effect.

[0058] Similarly, in the embodiments provided by this invention, the metal compound gas and silicon source gas are exemplified by TiCl4 and DCS gas, respectively, and the deposits are exemplified by TiN and SiN. The reactant gases and deposited reactants are only illustrative examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention. In reality, the metal compound in the deposited reactants can also be TiN, TaN, AlN, GaN, or InN, and SiN can be other silicides. The precursor gas used for atomic layer deposition can also be adjusted and selected accordingly based on actual needs.

[0059] Similarly, the method for preparing the semiconductor barrier layer provided by the present invention does not impose specific limitations on the substrate material. The substrate 200 can be a high-k dielectric, such as Al2O3, TiO2, Ta2O3 or HfO2, or silicon and silicides, such as polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si), SiO2, SiON, SiCO, SiN or SiCON, or elemental metals and alloys, such as W, Al, Cu, Co, Ni, Pb, Ti and their alloys, etc.

[0060] In one embodiment, the method for preparing the semiconductor barrier layer provided by the present invention can optionally be performed using an atomic layer deposition apparatus equipped with a dual-pulse gas intake function or a pre-mixing chamber. The following description, in conjunction with schematic diagrams of the deposition apparatus, will elaborate on these points.

[0061] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the working principle of an atomic layer deposition apparatus with dual-pulse air intake function for preparing a barrier layer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 3 The reaction equipment is a conventional atomic layer deposition equipment with dual-pulse gas inlet function. It employs a dual-pulse gas inlet process, controlling the flow rate and ratio of DCS gas and TiCl4 introduced into the reaction chamber 302 via flow meters 301 in the corresponding gas pipelines. The inflow and direction of the gas are controlled by various control valves. Figure 1 The cyclic process shown executes deposition, for example, by sequentially introducing TiCl4 and DCS at a set ratio; introducing purge gas; introducing NH3; introducing purge gas again, repeating this cycle multiple times, ultimately yielding the following result: Figure 2 The semiconductor barrier layer structure shown.

[0063] Figures 4A to 4D This is a schematic diagram illustrating the working principle of preparing a barrier layer using an atomic layer deposition apparatus equipped with a pre-mixing chamber, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] like Figures 4A to 4DAs shown, the semiconductor barrier layer fabrication method provided by this invention can also employ a deposition apparatus with a pre-mixing chamber 401. Similarly, the flow rate and ratio of DCS and TiCl4 entering the reaction chamber 402 can be controlled by a flow meter in the corresponding gas pipeline, and the inflow and outflow of gas in the pre-mixing chamber can be controlled by a control valve. This apparatus can execute the barrier layer fabrication method provided by this invention according to the following steps.

[0065] Step A, as follows Figure 4A As shown, a carrier gas is introduced into the reaction chamber 402 to purge the gas, and the two pre-mixing chambers 401 are introduced with the reaction precursor in proportion.

[0066] Step B, as follows Figure 4B As shown, the precursor gas TiCl4 and DCS in the left pre-mixing chamber 401 are introduced into the reaction chamber 402.

[0067] Step C, as Figure 4C As shown, close the outflow valve of the left pre-mixing chamber 401, and re-introduce the reaction gas into the pre-mixing chamber 401 according to the specified ratio. Only the purging gas remains in the reaction chamber 402; and

[0068] Step D, as follows Figure 4D As shown, the precursor gas NH3 in the right pre-mixing chamber 401 is introduced into the reaction chamber 402.

[0069] Repeat the above loop until you get the following result: Figure 2 The semiconductor barrier layer structure shown.

Any equipment or apparatus that can implement the semiconductor barrier layer preparation method provided by this invention can be used to prepare the barrier layer structure and should also be included within the scope of protection of this invention.
