Secondly, in existing technique, after low-k dielectric layers is etched, usually adopt and comprise O 2, O 2/ H 2o or CO 2gas remove etching as fogging agent after residual photoresist layer etc.Owing to containing C and H element in this kind of conventional low-k materials of black brill, and the content of lower then C and H of k value is higher, and the O of these elements easily and in fogging agent reacts and generates gaseous state product, thus can form C depletion layer (i.e. damaged layer) in low-k materials, thus cause the electric property of the final semiconductor device formed to be deteriorated.
In view of the foregoing, need a kind of method for making semiconductor device, expect that the method can be repaired and reduce the damage (such as C depletion layer) in low k dielectric, to improve the tolerance of low k dielectric to wet environment etc., and then improve the integrated electronic performance of semiconductor device.In addition, also expect that the method can be compatible with traditional cmos manufacturing process, to reduce manufacturing cost.

[exemplary embodiment]
Below, describe in detail according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention for carrying out etching the method for reprocessing to low-k dielectric layers with reference to Figure 1A-1G and Fig. 2.
With reference to Figure 1A-1G, illustrated therein is the schematic cross sectional view of semiconductor structure in each step of method according to the present invention comprising low-k dielectric layers.
First, provide substrate 110, as shown in Figure 1A, provide the low-k dielectric layers 120 through etching with the first groove 121 on a substrate 110.Wherein, the first groove 121 can be through hole or the groove of the formation semiconductor device interconnected structure of definition usually in this area.But in this article, for convenience, the through hole of ordinary meaning or groove are referred to as groove.Should give understanding, because through hole or groove in manufacture only have difference at the most in the degree of depth and internal diameter, without substantive difference, practical significance both thus distinguishing is also little.Therefore, both are referred to as groove, also can not obscure scope of the present invention.In this example, the first groove is the through hole of definition usually.
Exemplarily, substrate 110 can be such as unadulterated monocrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon, germanium silicon or silicon-on-insulator (SOI) etc. doped with N-type or p type impurity.The thickness of low-k dielectric layers 120 is about isolate for making device and metal interconnecting layer in subsequent metal interconnection process.In addition, one deck undoped silicon glass (USG) can also be provided below low-k dielectric layers 120 or mix phosphorosilicate glass (PSG) (not shown), to provide comparatively smooth surface, for forming low-k dielectric layers 120 thereon by spin-coating method or CVD.
Exemplarily, the constituent material of low-k dielectric layers 120 can be BlackDiamond tMiI(BDII) dielectric.This dielectric substance is the silica (also referred to as silicon oxide carbide) of carbon doping, wherein carbon content is higher than 10%, it is commercially available by applied materials, inc. of California, USA Sheng great Ke Laola city, and it is improved material and comprises and to be hardened by UV and to have the BDIIx dielectric of the porosity of 30% and the BDIIebeam dielectric by electron-beam curing.In addition, the low-k materials of other carbon containings comprises with (benzocyclobutene) dielectric material, it is by DowChemical companies market.In these materials, majority is organic or polyelectrolye, easily and oxygen or oxonium ion react and generate gaseous state thing and be consumed.
Here, need be understood, the method forming the first groove in low-k dielectric layers 120 is known in those skilled in the art, therefore repeats no more herein.In addition, due to different mask layers can be adopted according to practical application, even if thus after stripping photoresist (PR) layer, above low-k dielectric layers 120, other materials layer (not shown) may also be left.Such as, when adopting metal hard mask (MHM, MetalHardMask), after stripping PR layer, TiN or the BN layer as MHM can be left above low-k dielectric layers 120.If TiN or the BN layer stayed is blocked up, then can affects follow-up metal filled, thus affect metal interconnected reliability.
Then, perform the first etching reprocessing (PET), to make the surface densification of low-k dielectric layers 120, thus form dense surface layer 122, as shown in Figure 1B.The object of this step is to form compact surfaces for sealing low-k materials below, to protect low-k materials from wet environment or the infringement of other processing contaminants.As an example, Ar can be used to carry out Ions Bombardment as etching gas to the surface of low-k dielectric layers 120, to perform a PET.As another example, He can be used to carry out Ions Bombardment as etching gas to the surface of low-k dielectric layers 120, to perform a PET.Certainly, Ar and He also can be used to carry out Ions Bombardment as etching gas to the surface of low-k dielectric layers 120, to perform a PET simultaneously.Preferably, the process conditions of a PET are as follows: power is 100 ~ 2000W, and gas flow rate is 10 ~ 1000sccm, and wherein, sccm is under standard state, i.e. 1 atmospheric pressure, 1 cubic centimetre of (1cm per minute at 25 DEG C 3/ min) flow.
Here, need be understood, because a PET uses inert gas Ar and He, so less to the chemical damage of low-k dielectric layers generation.
Then, low-k dielectric layers 120 is etched, to form the 126a at least partially of the second groove wherein, as shown in Figure 1 C.Wherein, the second groove has the implication identical with the first groove in this article.In this example, the second groove is the groove of definition usually.From Fig. 1 C, do not have compact surfaces to provide protection due to during etching forming section second groove 126a in the latter half of low-k dielectric layers 120 sidewall, thus can form damaged layer 123 in low-k dielectric layers 120, such as C depletion layer.
Then, performing the 2nd PET, to repair through the damaged layer 123 that etching produces in low-k dielectric layers 120, thus obtaining the damaged layer 123a through repairing as shown in figure ip.Should give understanding, though this PET step is optional, is preferred.As an example, N can be used 2the 2nd PET is performed as etching gas.As another example, N can be used 2/ H 2the 2nd PET is performed as etching gas.As another example, CH can be used 4the 2nd PET is performed as etching gas.Certainly, also N can be used 2, N 2/ H 2and CH 4any combination as etching gas.In addition, exemplarily, the 2nd PET can carry out at the temperature of such as 410 DEG C, and continues 30 minutes.
Here, need be recognized, by based on N 2, N 2/ H 2or CH 4pET can repair damaged layer 123 at least in part, such as, produce in etching process or owing to using containing O or O 2fogging agent peel off PR and the C depletion layer that formed, thus the damage in low-k dielectric layers can be made obviously to reduce, as shown in figure ip.The principle of repairing is conventionally known to one of skill in the art, therefore repeats no more herein.
Then, repeat a PET, as referring to figure 1e, damaged layer 123a place after repair also form dense surface layer 123b, to prevent etching gas such as F ion to be diffused into low-k dielectric layers when subsequent etch, causes damage to it.Then, the method same with forming section second groove 126a is adopted in low-k dielectric layers 120, to form the second complete groove 126, the groove 126 namely in this example.Certainly, damaged layer 124 can be formed too at the sidewall of groove 126.This damaged layer 124 also can be repaired by again performing the 2nd PET as mentioned above, and the damaged layer after reparation as shown in Figure 1 G.
Referring to Fig. 2, illustrated therein is the flow chart of method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
First, in step s 201, provide substrate, provide the low-k dielectric layers through etching with the first groove over the substrate.
Then, in step S202, at least one in Ar and He is used to perform a PET, to make the surface densification of described low-k dielectric layers as etching gas.
Then, in step S203, described low-k dielectric layers is etched, to form the second groove at least partially in described low-k dielectric layers.
Then, optional and not necessarily, in step S204, use N 2, N 2/ H 2and CH 4in at least one as etching gas perform the 2nd PET, with repair in described low-k dielectric layers through etching produce damage.Preferably, the 2nd PET carries out at the temperature of 410 DEG C, and continues 30 minutes.
Then, in step S205, repeated execution of steps S202 to S204, to form the remainder of the second groove, thus obtains the second complete groove.
Here, what needs were stressed is, although a PET, the second trench etch and the 2nd PET only circulate and have carried out twice in this exemplary embodiment, but those skilled in the art will recognize that, can be according to actual needs, once circulate or circulate three times or more, till forming the second complete groove.Such as, if be divided into by the second groove three step etchings to be formed, then cycle-index can be three times.
In addition, those skilled in the art can know the first groove according to foregoing description and the second groove can exchange, namely, first groove can be groove second groove of definition is usually then the through hole of definition usually, scheme (namely with adopting " first through hole (via-first) " in above-mentioned exemplary embodiment, groove after first through hole) dual damascene process different, it is known in the industry as the dual damascene process of employing " first groove (trench-first) " scheme (that is, through hole after first groove).Certainly, wherein the first groove through hole of not only having comprised definition usually but also the scheme of the groove comprising definition usually also fall within scope of the present invention.
In addition, when those skilled in the art it will also be appreciated that a PET and the 2nd PET is carried out in circulation, the etching gas that a PET is each used with the 2nd PET can be identical, also can be different.Such as, circulation time for the first time, can use Ar to perform a PET and use N 2perform the 2nd PET, and at second time circulation time, He can be used to perform a PET and use CH 4perform the 2nd PET, the rest may be inferred.
Here, need draw attention to, the 2nd PET described above is preferred and nonessential, so the situation not performing the 2nd PET in fact can be there is, in this case, only need circulation execution the one PET and the second trench etch step, till obtaining the second complete groove.Certainly, also there is such situation, namely before forming the second complete groove, do not perform the 2nd PET, and use N after obtaining the second complete groove 2, N 2/ H 2and CH 4in at least one as etching gas perform the 2nd PET, to repair damage.In addition, also may there is such situation, namely after formation first groove, perform before a PET, perform the 2nd PET as mentioned above, with at that time both established damage repair.This several situation equally also all falls within the scope of the present invention.
In addition, also need to draw attention to, a PET and the 2nd PET can be all that original position (in-situ) is carried out, and namely is all carrying out carrying out in the chamber etched.Can the production cycle be shortened like this and reduce manufacturing cost.
About beneficial effect of the present invention, those skilled in the art can both recognize, can utilize the semiconductor device interconnected structure making the reliability with improvement as mentioned above according to method of the present invention.Because the various method and the concrete technology condition thereof that make semiconductor device interconnected structure are all known in the art, the dual damascene process etc. such as adopted at present, therefore repeats no more herein.
Here, it will be appreciated that, because the compacted zone formed on low k dielectric surface can prevent metal ion in metal line (such as, copper ion) be diffused in low k dielectric, thus the reliability of interconnection structure can be improved, such as can improve time dependence dielectric breakdown (TDDB, Time-DependentDielectricBreakdown) characteristic.In addition, when adopting TiN or BN as metal hard mask etching low-k materials, owing to can make metal hard mask such as TiN or BN depression based on the PET of Ar or He, reduce the thickness of MHM layer, thus interconnecting metal can be made to be filled in better in the gap such as through hole or groove, thus also can to reach the object of the reliability improving interconnection structure.
