[0008] The details of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, the same or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions will not be repeated.
[0009] (First embodiment) The semiconductor device DEV1 according to the first embodiment will be described.
[0010] <Configuration of semiconductor device DEV1> As shown in FIG. 1, the semiconductor device DEV1 has a semiconductor substrate SUB, insulating films IF1, IF2, and IF3, and a polysilicon wiring PW1.
[0011] The semiconductor substrate SUB is made of, for example, single crystal silicon and has an upper surface F1 and a lower surface F2 located on the opposite side of the upper surface F1.
[0012] The semiconductor substrate SUB has a source layer SL, a body layer BL, a drift layer DL, a drain layer DRA, and a back gate layer BG. The source layer SL is formed in the semiconductor substrate SUB and disposed on an upper surface F1. The body layer BL is formed in the semiconductor substrate SUB and disposed on an upper surface F1 so as to surround the source layer SL in a planar view. The drift layer DL is formed in the semiconductor substrate SUB and disposed on an upper surface F1 so as to be adjacent to the body layer BL. The drain layer DRA is formed in the semiconductor substrate SUB and disposed on an upper surface F1 so as to be surrounded by the drift layer DL in a planar view. That is, the drain layer DRA is separated from the source layer SL in a first direction DR1 along the upper surface F1. The back gate layer BG is formed in the semiconductor substrate SUB and disposed on an upper surface F1 so as to be surrounded by the body layer BL. The conductivity type of the source layer SL, the conductivity type of the drift layer DL, and the conductivity type of the drain layer DRA are the first conductivity type. The conductivity type of the body layer BL and the back gate layer BG is a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type. For example, the first conductivity type is n-type and the second conductivity type is p-type.
[0013] A trench TR1 is formed in the upper surface F1 of the semiconductor substrate SUB. The trench TR1 extends toward the lower surface F2 of the semiconductor substrate SUB. The trench TR1 is located between the source layer SL and the drain layer DRA in the first direction DR1. The trench TR1 is surrounded by, for example, the drift layer DL in plan view. The trench TR1 has a first end TR1a and a second end TR1b located on the opposite side of the first end TR1a in the first direction DR1. The first end TR1a faces the drain layer DRA, and the second end TR1b faces the source layer SL.
[0014] The insulating film IF1 is formed in the trench TR1. The insulating film IF1 is formed of, for example, silicon oxide. The trench TR1 and the insulating film IF1 have an STI (Shallow Trench Isolation) structure. The insulating film IF2 is formed on the insulating film IF1. However, the insulating film IF2 is not formed between the insulating film IF3 and the upper surface F1. The insulating film IF2 is formed of, for example, silicon oxide. The insulating film IF3 is formed on the upper surface F1 located between the source layer SL and the trench TR1. The insulating film IF3 is also formed on the insulating film IF2. That is, the insulating film IF3 is formed above the insulating film IF1 so as to cover the upper surface of the insulating film IF2. The insulating film IF3 is formed of, for example, silicon oxide.
[0015] The polysilicon wiring PW1 is formed on the insulating film IF3. The polysilicon wiring PW1 is made of polycrystalline silicon (polysilicon) containing a dopant. The insulating film IF3, the polysilicon wiring PW1, the source layer SL, the body layer BL, the drift layer DL, and the drain layer DRA constitute an LDMOS (Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistor. The polysilicon wiring PW1 constitutes the gate electrode of the LDMOS transistor, and the insulating film IF3 constitutes the gate insulating film of the LDMOS transistor.
[0016] <Method of Manufacturing Semiconductor Device DEV1> As shown in FIG. 2, the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device DEV1 includes a preparation step S1, an insulating film formation step S2, an insulating film formation step S3, an ion implantation step S4, an insulating film removal step S5, an insulating film formation step S6, a polysilicon wiring formation step S7, and an ion implantation step S8.
[0017] In the preparation step S1, a semiconductor substrate SUB is prepared. As shown in FIG. 3, in the insulating film formation step S2, a trench TR1 is formed, and then an insulating film IF1 is formed. In the insulating film formation step S2, first, a hard mask HM (see FIGS. 9A and 9B) is formed on the upper surface F1. The hard mask HM has, for example, a silicon oxide film HM1 formed on the upper surface F1, a polysilicon film HM2 formed on the silicon oxide film HM1, and a silicon nitride film HM3 formed on the polysilicon film HM2. Second, an anti-reflection film BARC is formed on the hard mask HM, and then a resist pattern RP is formed on the anti-reflection film BARC. Third, the hard mask HM is patterned by dry etching the hard mask HM through openings in the resist pattern RP. Fourth, a trench TR1 is formed in the semiconductor substrate SUB by dry etching the hard mask HM through openings in the hard mask HM.
[0018] Fifth, a constituent material of the insulating film IF1 is formed on the upper surface F1 so as to fill the trench TR1, for example, by a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method. Sixth, the constituent material of the insulating film IF1 formed outside the trench TR1 is removed, for example, by a CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) method or etch-back, resulting in the formation of the insulating film IF1 in the trench TR1. This completes the insulating film formation step S2. After the trench TR1 and the insulating film IF1 are formed, the hard mask HM is removed.
[0019] As shown in Fig. 4, in the insulating film formation step S3, an insulating film IF2 is formed on the upper surface F1 and the insulating film IF1 by a plasma CVD method using, for example, TEOS (Tetra Ethoxy Silane). As shown in Fig. 5, in the ion implantation step S4, ion implantation is performed to form the body layer BL and the drift layer DL. As shown in Fig. 6, in the insulating film removal step S5, first, a resist pattern having openings is formed on the insulating film IF1. Second, the insulating film IF2 formed on the upper surface F1 is removed by dry etching through the openings in the resist pattern, while the insulating film IF2 formed on the insulating film IF1 is left.
[0020] As shown in FIG. 7, in the insulating film forming step S6, an insulating film IF3 is formed on the upper surface F1 by, for example, thermal oxidation. Also, in the insulating film forming step S6, an insulating film IF3 is also formed on the insulating film IF2. As shown in FIG. 8, in the polysilicon wiring forming step S7, a polysilicon wiring PW1 is formed on the insulating film IF3. In the polysilicon wiring forming step S7, first, a constituent material of the polysilicon wiring PW1 is deposited on the insulating film IF3 by, for example, a CVD method. Second, a resist pattern is formed on the constituent material of the polysilicon wiring PW1. Third, the constituent material of the polysilicon wiring PW1 is patterned by dry etching through openings in the resist pattern. In this way, the polysilicon wiring PW1 is formed. Note that, during the dry etching, the insulating films IF2 and IF3 located other than under the polysilicon wiring PW1 are also removed.
[0021] In the ion implantation step S8, ions are implanted to form the source layer SL, the drain layer DRA, and the back gate layer BG. In this way, the structure of the semiconductor device DEV1 shown in FIG.
[0022] <Effects of semiconductor device DEV1> As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, in the insulating film forming step S2, particles may remain on the anti-reflective film BARC. If particles remain on the anti-reflective film BARC, etching may be difficult to proceed near the particles, and the hard mask HM may remain on the position where the trench TR1 is to be formed (see the dotted line in FIG. 9B). As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, if the hard mask HM remains on the position where the trench TR1 is to be formed, a pillar-shaped portion PL may remain in the semiconductor substrate SUB after etching. The pillar-shaped portion PL extends upward from the bottom surface of the trench TR1. Not only particles remaining on the anti-reflective film BARC, but also abnormal growth of the polysilicon film HM2 and particles remaining on the upper surface F1 can cause the pillar-shaped portion PL to remain.
[0023] 10, in the semiconductor device DEV1a according to the comparative example in which the insulating film IF2 is not formed, if the columnar portion PL remains, the polysilicon wiring PW1 (gate electrode of the LDMOS transistor) may be electrically insulated from the semiconductor substrate SUB (columnar portion PL) only by the insulating film IF3 (gate insulating film of the LDMOS transistor). Furthermore, in the semiconductor device DEV1a, if the columnar portion PL remains, the thickness of the insulating film IF1 formed between the insulating film IF3 and the semiconductor substrate SUB (columnar portion PL) may be insufficient. Therefore, if the columnar portion PL remains, the electrical insulation between the polysilicon wiring PW1 and the semiconductor substrate SUB may become insufficient.
[0024] Such a lack of dielectric strength voltage between the polysilicon wiring PW1 and the semiconductor substrate SUB can usually be screened out by testing. However, when the columnar portion PL is located between the center position P and the second end TR1b of the trench TR1 in the first direction DR1, the electric field is relaxed near the columnar portion PL. Therefore, the insulating film IF3 located between the columnar portion PL and the polysilicon wiring PW1 and the thin insulating film IF1 located between the columnar portion PL and the polysilicon wiring PW1 may not be broken down and may not be screened out by testing.
[0025] As shown in FIG. 11 , in the semiconductor device DEV1, even when the columnar portion PL remains on the semiconductor substrate SUB, the semiconductor substrate SUB (columnar portion PL) and the polysilicon wiring PW1 are electrically insulated by at least the insulating films IF2 and IF3. Therefore, in the semiconductor device DEV1, even when the columnar portion PL remains, particularly when the columnar portion PL is located between the central position P and the second end TR1b, sufficient electrical insulation between the polysilicon wiring PW1 and the semiconductor substrate SUB can be ensured. Furthermore, in the semiconductor device DEV1, the insulating film IF2 is formed on the insulating film IF1 but is not formed between the insulating film IF3 and the upper surface F1 of the semiconductor substrate SUB. This prevents the gate insulating film of the LDMOS transistor from becoming thicker, and the threshold voltage of the LDMOS transistor from increasing with the formation of the insulating film IF2. The width W of the columnar portion PL in the first direction DR1 is, for example, 0.02 μm or less. The width W is measured at the top surface of the columnar portion PL.
[0026] <Modification> As shown in FIG. 12, in the semiconductor device DEV1, a trench TR2 may be formed in the upper surface F1 of the semiconductor substrate SUB. The trench TR2 extends toward the lower surface F2 of the semiconductor substrate SUB. The semiconductor device DEV1 may further include insulating films IF4, IF5, and IF6, and a polysilicon wiring PW2. The insulating films IF4, IF5, and IF6 are made of, for example, silicon oxide. The polysilicon wiring PW2 is made of, for example, polycrystalline silicon containing a dopant. The polysilicon wiring PW2 functions as, for example, a resistor element.
[0027] The insulating film IF4 is formed in the trench TR2. The insulating film IF5 is formed on the insulating film IF4, and the insulating film IF6 is formed on the insulating film IF5. The polysilicon wiring PW2 is formed on the insulating film IF6. Therefore, even if the columnar portion PL remains in the semiconductor substrate SUB, the polysilicon wiring PW2 and the semiconductor substrate SUB (columnar portion PL) are electrically insulated at least by the insulating films IF5 and IF6. As a result, sufficient electrical insulation is ensured between the polysilicon wiring PW2 and the semiconductor substrate SUB.
[0028] The trench TR2 and the insulating film IF4 are formed in the insulating film forming step S2 in the same manner as the trench TR1 and the insulating film IF1. The insulating film IF5 is formed in the insulating film forming step S3 and the insulating film removing step S5 in the same manner as the insulating film IF2. The insulating film IF6 is formed in the insulating film forming step S6 in the same manner as the insulating film IF3. The polysilicon wiring PW2 is formed in the polysilicon wiring forming step S7 in the same manner as the polysilicon wiring PW1.
[0029] (Second embodiment) A semiconductor device DEV2 according to the second embodiment will be described below, focusing mainly on the differences from the semiconductor device DEV1, and overlapping descriptions will not be repeated.
[0030] <Configuration of semiconductor device DEV2> As shown in FIG. 13, in the semiconductor device DEV2, the insulating film IF1 has an upper surface F3 and a lower surface F4 located on the opposite side of the upper surface F3. A step RCS is formed on the upper surface F3. The step RCS is recessed toward the lower surface F4. In the semiconductor device DEV2, the insulating film IF2 is formed within the step RCS. Therefore, in the semiconductor device DEV2, when the columnar portion PL remains in the semiconductor substrate SUB, the semiconductor substrate SUB (columnar portion PL) and the polysilicon wiring PW1 are electrically insulated by the insulating films IF2 and IF3. In the semiconductor device DEV2, the insulating film IF2 is formed within the step RCS but is not formed on the insulating film IF1. Therefore, the insulating film IF3 has a portion that is not disposed between the insulating film IF3 and the insulating film IF1 and faces the insulating film IF1.
[0031] <Method of manufacturing semiconductor device DEV2> 14, in the insulating film formation step S3 in the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device DEV2, first, an insulating film IF2 is formed on the upper surface F1 so as to cover the insulating film IF1 by, for example, a plasma CVD method using TEOS. That is, the insulating film IF2 is formed inside the step RCS and outside the step RCS. The thickness T of the insulating film IF2 formed outside the step RCS is, for example, at least twice the width W of the columnar portion PL in the first direction DR1. Since the width of the step RCS in the first direction DR1 is approximately the same as the width W of the columnar portion PL in the first direction DR1, if the thickness T is at least twice the width W, the insulating film IF2 is integrated into the step RCS during conformal growth from the sidewall surface thereof, and the step RCS is thereby filled with the insulating film IF2.
[0032] 15, in an insulating film formation step S3 in the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device DEV2, secondly, the entire insulating film IF2 is wet-etched. As a result, the insulating film IF2 becomes thinner, and the insulating film IF2 formed on the insulating film IF1 is removed while the insulating film IF2 is left in the step RCS. As shown in FIG. 16, in an insulating film removal step S5 in the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device DEV2, the insulating film IF2 formed on the upper surface F1 is removed by dry etching through the openings in the resist pattern while the insulating film IF2 is left in the step RCS.
[0033] <Effects of semiconductor device DEV2> In the semiconductor device DEV2, the insulating film IF2 is formed in the step RCS, and therefore, even if the columnar portion PL remains, the polysilicon wiring PW1 and the semiconductor substrate SUB are electrically insulated at least by the insulating films IF2 and IF3. Therefore, according to the semiconductor device DEV2, even if the columnar portion PL remains, it is possible to sufficiently ensure electrical insulation between the polysilicon wiring PW1 and the semiconductor substrate SUB.
[0034] (Third embodiment) A semiconductor device DEV3 according to the third embodiment will be described below, focusing mainly on the differences from the semiconductor device DEV1, and overlapping descriptions will not be repeated.
[0035] <Configuration of semiconductor device DEV3> As shown in FIG. 17, the semiconductor device DEV3 does not have the insulating film IF2. In the semiconductor device DEV3, the insulating film IF3 is formed on the upper surface F1 located between the source layer SL and the trench TR1, and is also formed on the insulating film IF1. Therefore, the polysilicon wiring PW1 has a portion where the insulating film IF3 is not disposed between the polysilicon wiring PW1 and the insulating film IF1 and faces the insulating film IF1. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18, when a columnar portion PL is formed in the semiconductor substrate SUB, the polysilicon wiring PW1 faces the semiconductor substrate SUB (columnar portion PL) without the insulating film IF3 interposed therebetween. That is, when a columnar portion PL is formed in the semiconductor substrate SUB, the polysilicon wiring PW1 is electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate SUB (columnar portion PL).
[0036] <Method of manufacturing semiconductor device DEV3> 19, the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device DEV3 does not perform the insulating film forming step S3 and the insulating film removing step S5. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 20, in the insulating film forming step S6 in the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device DEV3, the insulating film IF3 is formed on the upper surface F1 of the semiconductor substrate SUB and on the insulating film IF1. As shown in Fig. 19, the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device DEV3 further includes the insulating film removing step S9. The insulating film removing step S9 is performed after the insulating film forming step S6 and before the polysilicon wiring forming step S7.
[0037] 21, in the insulating film removing step S9, dry etching is performed through openings in a resist pattern formed on the insulating film IF1, thereby partially removing the insulating film IF3 formed on the insulating film IF1. Therefore, in the polysilicon wiring forming step S7 in the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device DEV3, a portion facing the insulating film IF3 and a portion facing the insulating film IF1 without the insulating film IF3 being disposed between the polysilicon wiring PW1 and the insulating film IF1 are formed, as shown in FIG.
[0038] <Effects of semiconductor device DEV3> In the semiconductor device DEV3, the insulating film IF2 is not formed, and the polysilicon wiring PW1 has a portion facing the insulating film IF1 without disposing the insulating film IF3 between the polysilicon wiring PW1 and the insulating film IF1. Therefore, in the semiconductor device DEV3, if a columnar portion PL remains in the semiconductor substrate SUB, a portion of the polysilicon wiring PW1 faces the semiconductor substrate SUB (columnar portion PL) without disposing the insulating film IF3 between the polysilicon wiring PW1 and the semiconductor substrate SUB (columnar portion PL). In other words, if a columnar portion PL remains in the semiconductor substrate SUB, the semiconductor substrate SUB (columnar portion PL) and the polysilicon wiring PW1 are electrically connected. Therefore, by performing a test to confirm whether there is conduction between the polysilicon wiring PW1 and the semiconductor substrate SUB, it is possible to screen the semiconductor device DEV3 in which the columnar portion PL remains in the semiconductor substrate SUB.
[0039] The invention made by the inventor has been specifically described above based on an embodiment, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the invention.
