Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing process technology, and in particular to a borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer preparation method, deposition equipment, borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer, semiconductor device and electronic equipment. Background Art
[0002] In chip fabrication, the interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer typically serves as an isolation layer between the active area and the first metal layer M1, isolating the metal conductors from the semiconductor devices. However, the finished active area has a certain step difference. Therefore, BPSG (Boro-phospho-silicate Glass), with its excellent filling properties and high-temperature reflow resistance, is used as the ILD filler material to form an ILD film on the active area surface. However, the main components of BPSG are B2O3, P2O5, and SiO2. Both B2O3 and P2O5 react with moisture in the air. If the BPSG film is exposed to air for a long time, B2O3 and P2O5 react with H2O in the air to form H3BO3 and H3PO4, which then react with each other to form BPO3·3H2O (crystalline hydrate). Because this reaction is reversible, a mixture of H3BO3 and H3PO4 solution and crystalline hydrate forms on the surface of the ILD film. Due to the high surface tension of H2O, the mixture aggregates. This will result in the formation of particles on the surface of the ILD film, affecting the device yield of the chip.
[0003] Currently, two main approaches are used to address this issue: 1. After depositing the ILD layer, the BPSG is reflowed in a high-temperature furnace. Reflow treatment at 800°C for 20 minutes further reduces the step height on the wafer surface. During operation, the furnace undergoes a series of processes: heating, stabilization, reaction, cooling, stabilization, and finally stabilization. Although the bake time is only 20 minutes, the actual thermal budget introduced by this high-temperature reflow process can be as high as several hours. As device feature sizes shrink, the thermal budget introduced by this high-temperature reflow process becomes increasingly severe. Furthermore, at small feature sizes, the diffusion of dopant impurities can have a devastating impact on device performance. In actual production processes, due to limitations in tool capacity, production schedules, and abnormal conditions, deposited wafers are inevitably left for 8–15 days or even longer. This results in the formation of a mixture of H₃BO₃ and H₃PO₄ solutions and crystalline hydrates on the surface of the ILD film. This mixture, due to the high surface tension of H₂O₄, can aggregate, leading to the formation of particles on the ILD film surface. How to make the deposited ILD film have better stability for devices with small feature sizes is an urgent problem that needs to be solved for devices with small feature sizes.

[0024] The technical solution of the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the implementation process of the method for preparing the borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0026] refer to Figure 1 The method for preparing a borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer in an embodiment of the present application includes at least the following operation procedures: operation 101, using a deposition device to form a borophosphosilicate glass film on the surface of a wafer by chemical vapor deposition; operation 102, using a deposition device to heat the wafer to a set temperature, and introducing a first gas and a second gas into the deposition device for a first set time, wherein the first gas is used to absorb residual hydrogen atoms in the process of forming the borophosphosilicate glass film, and the second gas is used to react with the first gas or the second gas is an inert gas; operation 103, introducing a dry gas flow into the deposition device to remove moisture from the surface of the borophosphosilicate glass film through the gas outlet of the deposition device; operation 104, introducing tetraethoxysilane and oxygen into the deposition device to deposit USG on the surface of the borophosphosilicate glass film.
[0027] Here, we first briefly explain the reasons and basic steps for preparing the borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer during the semiconductor device manufacturing process.
[0028] BPSG (boron phosphosilicate glass) is characterized by its relatively soft texture. CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) is typically used for planarization at small feature sizes, but the soft BPSG can be severely scratched during polishing. Scratches on the interlayer dielectric (ILD) can directly disrupt the metal interconnects of semiconductor devices, causing short circuits. Therefore, after CMP polishing, a layer of USG (undoped silicate glass) can be deposited on the ILD surface using CVD (chemical vapor deposition) to planarize the ILD surface and form a complete borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer.
[0029] Semiconductor CVD equipment uses physical processes to transfer atoms or molecules from a source to a substrate surface. Its purpose is to spray particles with specialized properties, such as high strength, wear resistance, heat dissipation, and corrosion resistance, onto a lower-performance substrate, thereby improving the substrate's performance. This application uses the formation of a borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer on a wafer as an example to illustrate the solution.
[0030] In operation 101 , a deposition device is used to form a borophosphosilicate glass thin film on a wafer surface by chemical vapor deposition.
[0031] In this embodiment of the present application, a borophosphosilicate glass film may be formed on the wafer surface by a common chemical vapor deposition method.
[0032] In operation 102, a deposition device is used to heat the wafer to a set temperature, and a first gas and a second gas are introduced into the deposition device for a first set time. The first gas is used to absorb hydrogen atoms remaining in the process of forming a borophosphosilicate glass film, and the second gas is used to react with the first gas or the second gas is an inert gas.
[0033] To avoid the damage caused by the borophosphosilicate glass film reacting with airborne moisture during transport and waiting for high-temperature reflow and CMP planarization operations after forming the borophosphosilicate glass film on the wafer surface during mass production, and to eliminate the small amount of H (hydrogen) atoms remaining in BPSG due to the deposition conditions of BPSG.
[0034] In this embodiment of the present application, a deposition apparatus is directly used to heat the wafer to a set temperature, and a first gas and a second gas are introduced into the deposition apparatus for a first set time. The first gas is used to absorb residual hydrogen atoms during the formation of the borophosphosilicate glass thin film, and the second gas is used to react with the first gas or is an inert gas.
[0035] For example, the first gas is O2 (oxygen) and the second gas is N2 (nitrogen) or He2 (helium). After the wafer enters the CVD equipment, the wafer temperature can be raised to 400°C and dry O2 and N2 can be introduced for 20 minutes. The O2 can reoxidize the remaining hydrogen atoms to form H2O. The continuous flow of dry air can remove the H2O on the film surface through the CVD equipment's outlet.
[0036] In this embodiment of the present application, a deposition device is used to heat the wafer to a set temperature, and a first gas and a second gas are introduced into the deposition device and maintained for a first set time. This can be achieved in the following way: the high-temperature first gas and second gas introduced through the back side of the wafer are maintained for the first set time.
[0037] In this embodiment of the present application, the first set time can be 20 minutes. In actual application, the first set time can be set based on conditions such as the characteristic size of the semiconductor device, the real-time temperature of the manufacturing workshop, and the real-time air humidity. For example, if the real-time temperature of the manufacturing workshop is high, the first set time can be appropriately shortened, while if the real-time air humidity is high, the first set time can be appropriately increased.
[0038] For example, heating can be achieved by introducing high-temperature N2 or He2 into the back of the wafer. The reaction temperature of CVD equipment is generally between 300℃ and 400℃, which is much higher than the boiling point of water under low pressure, and can achieve the purpose of baking.
[0039] In another embodiment of the present application, an independent Camber (fan-shaped) heating device may be introduced into the CVD equipment to realize the baking function.
[0040] In operation 103 , a dry air flow is introduced into the deposition device to remove moisture from the surface of the borophosphosilicate glass film through the air outlet of the deposition device.
[0041] For example, the first gas is O2 (oxygen) and the second gas is N2 (nitrogen) or He2 (helium). O2 can react with the remaining H atoms to generate H2O through reoxidation. Continuously introducing dry air into the deposition equipment can remove moisture from the surface of the borophosphosilicate glass film through the outlet of the deposition equipment.
[0042] In this embodiment of the present application, after a dry gas flow is introduced into the deposition device to remove moisture from the surface of the borophosphosilicate glass film through the gas outlet of the deposition device, a dry second gas is also introduced into the deposition device for a second set time to remove unreacted first gas and residual moisture through the gas outlet of the deposition device, and the second set time is less than the first set time.
[0043] In this embodiment of the present application, the second set time may be 30 seconds. Similarly, in actual applications, the second set time may be set based on the first set time according to conditions such as the characteristic size of the semiconductor device, the real-time temperature of the manufacturing workshop, and the real-time air humidity. For example, when the real-time temperature of the manufacturing workshop is high, the second set time may be appropriately reduced, and when the real-time air humidity is high, the second set time may be appropriately increased.
[0044] For example, dry N2 can be introduced for 30 seconds to remove unreacted O2 and residual H2O, thereby stabilizing the gas composition in the reaction chamber of the CVD equipment.
[0045] In another embodiment of the present application, after a dry air flow is introduced into the deposition device to remove moisture from the surface of the borophosphosilicate glass film through the gas outlet of the deposition device, a dry second gas and a third gas are also introduced into the deposition device for a third set time, and the third set time is less than the second set time. The third gas is used to form a non-polar hydrophobic layer on the surface of the wafer to change the surface state of the wafer.
[0046] In another embodiment of the present application, the third set time may be 15 seconds. Similarly, in actual applications, the third set time may be set based on the first set time according to conditions such as the characteristic size of the semiconductor device, the real-time temperature of the manufacturing workshop, and the real-time air humidity. For example, when the real-time temperature of the manufacturing workshop is high, the third set time may be appropriately reduced, and when the real-time air humidity is high, the third set time may be appropriately increased.
[0047] The third gas can be IPA (isopropyl alcohol). Similarly, in actual application, IPA can also be replaced by alcohol or acetone, but alcohol and acetone are more harmful, so isopropyl alcohol is generally used in industry.
[0048] For example, dry N2 and IPA (isopropyl alcohol) can be introduced for 15 seconds. By blowing dry hot N2 into the IPA liquid, an N2 gas flow mixed with IPA gas is obtained. IPA gas can change the surface state of the wafer surface and form a non-polar hydrophobic layer. If PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) equipment is used in production, the gas is excited into plasma by a radio frequency electric field, and this step does not require IPA plasma. Therefore, in the actual production process, the frequency and power of the radio frequency electric field of the PECVD equipment need to be reduced.
[0049] In operation 104 , tetraethoxysilane and oxygen are introduced into the deposition equipment to deposit USG on the surface of the borophosphosilicate glass film.
[0050] In another embodiment of the present application, a general USG deposition method may be used, where tetraethoxysilane and oxygen are introduced into a deposition device to deposit USG on the surface of a borophosphosilicate glass film.
[0051] For example, TEOS (tetraethoxysilane) and O2 can be introduced into the reaction chamber of the CVD equipment to deposit USG on the surface of the BPSG film to protect the BPSG film and achieve RECAP (regeneration).
[0052] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a specific application example of the method for preparing a borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.
[0053] refer to Figure 2 The specific application example of the method for preparing the borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer in the embodiment of the present application includes at least the following operation process:
[0054] In operation 201 , a BPSG film is deposited on a wafer surface using a CVD device.
[0055] In operation 202 , the CVD equipment is heated to 400° C., and oxygen, nitrogen, and isopropyl alcohol are introduced in sequence to improve the properties of the BPSG film.
[0056] Operation 203: Store under normal conditions and wait for dispatch to perform CMP planarization.
[0057] Operation 204 , CMP planarization operation.
[0058] In operation 205 , a USG film is deposited on the BPSG film again using a CVD device.
[0059] Among them, other specific implementation processes of operations 201 to 205 are the same as Figure 1The specific implementation processes of operations 101 to 104 in the illustrated embodiment are similar and will not be repeated here.
[0060] In order to better improve the specific points of the solution of this application, here Figure 3 The conventional method for preparing the dielectric layer of borophosphosilicate glass is shown in FIG. Figure 1-Figure 2 Specifically, the conventional method for preparing a borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer may include the following operations:
[0061] In operation 301 , a BPSG film is deposited on a wafer surface using a CVD device.
[0062] Operation 302, nitrogen box storage, keeps the wafer dry, and waits for dispatching for furnace tube high temperature reflow, CMP planarization and other operations.
[0063] Operation 303 is a furnace high temperature reflow and CMP planarization operation.
[0064] In operation 304 , a USG film is deposited on the BPSG film again using a CVD device.
[0065] Therefore, compared to Figure 3 In operations 301 to 304, the method for preparing the borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer of the present application uses a CVD device to deposit a BPSG film on the surface of a wafer, or after the BPSG film is deposited on the surface of a wafer using a CVD device, and then the CVD device is heated to 400°C, and oxygen, nitrogen, and isopropyl alcohol are introduced in sequence to improve the performance of the BPSG film. Through process optimization, baking and RECAP (regeneration) are completed in one step. No additional high-temperature heating equipment is required, which avoids the introduction of a thermal budget, greatly saves production costs, and can avoid the risk of contamination caused by the transportation process.
[0066] In the borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer preparation method, deposition apparatus, borophosphosilicate glass dielectric layer, semiconductor device, and electronic device of the present application, a deposition apparatus is used to form a borophosphosilicate glass thin film on a wafer surface by chemical vapor deposition. The deposition apparatus heats the wafer to a set temperature, introduces a first gas and a second gas into the deposition apparatus for a first set time, introduces a dry gas flow into the deposition apparatus through the deposition apparatus's gas outlet to remove moisture from the surface of the borophosphosilicate glass thin film, and introduces tetraethoxysilane and oxygen into the deposition apparatus to deposit USG on the surface of the borophosphosilicate glass thin film. The first gas is used to absorb residual hydrogen atoms during the borophosphosilicate glass thin film formation process, and the second gas is used to react with the first gas or is an inert gas. In this manner, after the borophosphosilicate glass thin film is formed, high-temperature heating and drying are performed directly in the borophosphosilicate glass film formation apparatus, significantly improving the performance of the dielectric layer. No additional high-temperature heating equipment is required, avoiding the introduction of a thermal budget, effectively saving equipment costs, and avoiding the risk of contamination during transportation.
