Method for forming proposed by the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
Embodiment one
The method for forming of the present embodiment includes procedure below:
First, as shown in figure 1, being formed sediment by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or low pressure chemical phase The common process such as product (LPCVD) form one layer of etching stop layer 110 on the substrate 100, and the etching stop layer 110 can be nitrogen SiClx (Si3N4), monofilm or the composite membrane such as NDC, thickness isIn this enforcement, etching stop layer 110 is nitrogen SiClx, thickness isPlasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), low-pressure chemical vapor phase deposition (LPCVD) etc. The technology that technique is well known to those skilled in the art, will not be described here.
Then, please continue to refer to Fig. 1, by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or low pressure chemical gas Mutually the common process such as deposit (LPCVD) forms interlayer dielectric layer 200, the interlayer dielectric layer 200 on etching stop layer 110 Can be monofilm or the composite membranes (the alternate mode of multilayer film can be adopted) such as TEOS, FSG, thickness isThis In enforcement, interlayer dielectric layer 200 is FSG, and thickness isIts forming method is low-pressure chemical vapor phase deposition (LPCVD) Technique.
Then, please continue to refer to Fig. 1, by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or low pressure chemical gas Mutually the common process such as deposit (LPCVD) forms one layer of antireflection dielectric layer (DARC) 210, this enforcement on interlayer dielectric layer 200 In, antireflection dielectric layer (DARC) 210 is SiON, and forming method is plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), thick Spend and beSo far, film layer structure is formed, is made up of three-decker, as shown in figure 1, being followed successively by etch-stop from the bottom to top Only layer 110, interlayer dielectric layer 200, antireflection dielectric layer 210.
Then, the antireflection dielectric layer (DARC) 210 and interlayer dielectric layer 200 of film layer structure are carried out photoetching, etching with Realize graphically, i.e., through-hole structure is formed in antireflection dielectric layer (DARC) 210 and interlayer dielectric layer 200, in etching process Need to enter electrode temperature above and/or under etching apparatus Mobile state adjustment.For the deeper through-hole structure of depth (1.2 μ of > M), the accumulation in etching process with byproduct of reaction (being mainly some polymer) in through hole, causes the feature chi of through hole Very little (i.e. aperture) increases with depth and tends to reducing, i.e., form reverse trapezoid shape (taper) on vertical cross-section.In some situations Under, after etching reaches certain depth, the accumulation of byproduct of reaction be enough to the continuation for preventing etching process, etching stopping occurs existing As (etchstop).The change of through hole pattern or etching stopping phenomenon all can cause obvious shadow to the electric conductivity of through hole Ring, cause conduction resistance Rc to increase, or even open circuit.In the present embodiment to etching apparatus upper in conventional through holes etching technics and/ Or bottom electrode temperature enters Mobile state adjustment, to form preferable through hole pattern, and obtains good electrical property.
In conventional via etch process, it is broadly divided into main etching and crosses the step of etched membrane layer structure forms through hole and carve Lose two steps.In the over etching stage, etch rate is very fast, but for keeping the through hole pattern for being formed, which forms byproduct of reaction (polymerization Thing) amount also more;And in the over etching stage, due to the byproduct of reaction (polymer) that there is early stage accumulation, for preventing from etching Stop phenomenon, the amount of its byproduct of reaction is less.
In the present embodiment, main etching menu major parameter is:Process pressure is 40mtorr;Rf frequency is 13.56MHz, its power are 1600W;C4F6Flow is 20~30sccm, preferably 25sccm;Oxygen O2Flow be 16~ 20sccm, preferably 18sccm;CH2F2Flow is 6~10sccm, preferably 8sccm;Argon Ar flow is 450~550sccm, Preferably 500sccm;Process time is 90sec;Over etching menu major parameter is:Process pressure is 45mtorr;Rf frequency For 13.56MHz, its power is 1400W;C4F6Flow is 20~30sccm, preferably 23sccm;Oxygen O2Flow be 16~ 20sccm, preferably 19sccm;Argon Ar flow is 450~550sccm, preferably 500sccm;Process time is 75sec.Its Middle C4F6、CH2F2The source of etching agent F ion, CH are all provided2F2Polymer deposition is formed simultaneously in through-hole side wall, side wall is affected Slope, pattern and flatness, O2Here also adjusts the forming amount of polymer.
In conventional etching menu, the temperature of the upper and lower electrode of etching apparatus is typically set to definite value, to avoid causing technique Affect, the such as standing temperature of certain model etching machine bench bottom electrode is 20 DEG C, the standing temperature of Top electrode is 70 DEG C, and its fluctuation range is only 1~2 DEG C, it is held essentially constant.In fact, the formation of polymer and deposition process are closely related with the temperature of upper and lower electrode, lead to Hole side wall and surface temperature are higher, and polymer is more difficult to be deposited on through-hole side wall and surface.This is based on, the present invention passes through in etching The temperature of the different phase control upper/lower electrode of process is adjusting the yield of polymer, and then obtains preferable through hole especially Bottom pattern, it is to avoid etching stopping phenomenon.
In the present embodiment, it is as shown in Figure 2 that the temperature of bottom electrode changes over curve.In main etch step, bottom electrode Temperature is maintained at a relatively lower temp, and optional scope is 15~25 DEG C, preferably 20 DEG C, and under over etching step, raising To a comparative high temperature, optional scope is 35~50 DEG C, preferably 40 DEG C to electrode temperature.Due to two step bottom electrode temperature not With, needing to heat up bottom electrode between main etch step and over etching step, the time is set to 20sec, simultaneously during this period of time Each reaction gas flow can be stablized.As during over etching step, bottom electrode heats up, in the end portion of through hole, byproduct of reaction sinks Product is less, is more beneficial for the expansion of bottom live width, reduces the live width difference of via top and bottom, keeps more vertical through hole shape Looks, as shown in Figure 3.
Embodiment two
The present embodiment is with the difference of embodiment one, in whole etching process as shown in Figure 1 (i.e. to DARC 210 Etching process with interlayer dielectric layer 200) in, dynamic adjustment, i.e., progressive intensification (ramp), bottom electrode is carried out to bottom electrode temperature It is as shown in Figure 4 that temperature changes over curve.Main etching and over etching are integrated into an etching process, in the etching starting stage (equivalent to former main etch step), heats up relatively slow, in etching process later stage (equivalent to former over etching step), heats up very fast, i.e., In whole process, slope becomes larger.In the present embodiment, 15~25 DEG C of the optional scope of initial temperature, terminates by preferably 20 DEG C 35~50 DEG C of the optional scope of temperature, can also obtain the through hole pattern similar to embodiment one by preferably 40 DEG C.
Additionally, in other embodiments of the present invention, in addition to bottom electrode temperature scalable, Top electrode temperature can also be adjusted simultaneously Degree, it is also possible to fix an electrode temperature (lower or upper electrode temperature) and only adjust another electrode temperature (up or down electrode temperature), with Adjust the deposition of through hole interpolymer.That is, in the dynamic adjustment, the bottom electrode temperature of etching apparatus is increased, Upper electrode temperature keeps constant or declines;Or, in the dynamic adjustment, make the bottom electrode temperature of etching apparatus keep constant, Upper electrode temperature declines.In the dynamic adjustment, described above and/or under the time dependent curve of electrode temperature for non-linear or Linearly.It should be noted that with the trend of bottom electrode temperature conversely, upper electrode temperature is higher, the deposition of through hole interpolymer More;Upper electrode temperature is lower, and the deposition of through hole interpolymer is fewer.
It is non-linear that upper electrode temperature changes over the embodiment two that curve can be as shown in Figure 4, can also make linear change Change, it is also possible to two kinds of temperature of main etching and over etching as described in embodiment one.For example, upper electrode temperature is from initial temperature, optional Scope is 65~75 DEG C, preferably 70 DEG C, linearly or nonlinearly fades to final temperature, and optional scope is 35~50 DEG C, preferably For 40 DEG C, or be maintained at a comparative high temperature in main etch step, optional scope be 65~75 DEG C, preferably 70 DEG C, A relatively lower temp is maintained in over etching step, and optional scope is 35~50 DEG C, preferably 40 DEG C.Upper electricity is adjusted simultaneously The function that upper electrode temperature is bottom electrode temperature can also be set when pole temperature and bottom electrode temperature, with the rising of bottom electrode temperature And reduce.In a word, by the trend of regulation temperature change, vertically oriented aperture there-through live width can be affected, obtains desired through hole Pattern.
It is pointed out that the change of the up or down electrode temperature of etching apparatus can produce certain impact to etch rate, Therefore the time for etching needs according to circumstances to adjust in good time, and therefore not to repeat here.
In sum, the method for forming that the present invention is provided, in via etch process to the upper of etching apparatus and/or Bottom electrode temperature enters Mobile state adjustment, can adjust the yield of polymer in etching process, expands the live width of via bottoms, obtains More vertical pattern is obtained, increases process window, it is to avoid etching stopping phenomenon, keep stablizing for electrical property.In the process, will Above and/or under etching apparatus, electrode temperature is used as new technological parameter, it is only necessary to make local directed complete set to process menu, does not increase New technological process, will not cause to significantly affect to production capacity and production cost.
Although the present invention is disclosed as above with preferred embodiment, which is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.Any Art personnel without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, make to technical scheme well know in the art Equivalent change or replace without departing from the present invention exposure and protection domain.
