Description
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to semiconductor device, more specifically relate to the formation method of the line of semiconductor device, wherein this method can reduce the resistance of line.
Background technology
Usually, because the live width of semiconductor device is more and more narrow and its integrated level increases, therefore required live width can not satisfy by the line forming method that adopts traditional reactive ion etching (RIE) process.Therefore, be extensive use of the line forming method of embedded (damascene) method of employing.
When adopting the line forming method of embedded method, wire material must deposit be filled in the area of the pattern that forms in the groove with the gap and contact form different during with use RIE method.
In semiconductor device, tungsten (W) is usually with the conductive layer that acts on main wire material.Under the situation of W, use WF
6As deposition gas.Therefore, be necessary before W forms that TiN, the TaN, the TiW that utilize resistance to be relatively higher than W wait and deposit barrier metal layer.Recently, because the influence of line miniaturization causes adopting usually forming TiN by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with excellent step spreadability.
In addition, after forming, the TiN layer just is formed for the TiSi of ohmic contact usually
x, and depositing Ti layer (being adhesion layer) is to improve tack.
Need make the Ti/TiN layer be deposited into given thickness or thicker at deposition W (conductive layer that promptly is used for main wire material) before.Yet in the actual line structure, the Ti/TiN layer occupies most thickness.Particularly, embedded method is included in and forms Ti/TiN layer and W layer in the groove that has formed, and these are different with the RIE method.Therefore, the Ti/TiN layer has the 3D structure.This makes the Ti/TiN layer constitute most of thickness.
And because line structure becomes finer, thereby the Ti/TiN layer occupies more thickness, thereby causes the deposition of W (conductive layer that promptly is used for main wire material) and gap to fill failure.Therefore, reduce, in being used for the conductive layer of main wire material, form reason such as space and cause having problems because be used for the conductive layer volume of main wire material.As a result, line resistance increases, thereby the electrical characteristics deterioration of device.
Improving the gap filling characteristic of the conductive layer that is used for main wire material and the most convenient of electrical characteristics and the method for insuring most is to reduce the thickness of barrier metal layer, thereby reduces the weight of the conductive layer that is used for main wire material.But, if the thickness subcritical thickness of barrier metal layer then loses the former of barrier metal layer and produces effect; Thereby produce by the WF that is used to deposit W (conductive layer that promptly is used for main wire material)
6Problem, WF that the resistance that causes increases
6" F adhere to " problem, Ti layer and the WF of gas permeation to the Semiconductor substrate
6" W volcano " problem of mutual explosive reaction or the like.
For example, the gradient of groove must be set at steady state value, and the thickness of barrier metal layer must be set at critical value or bigger.Therefore, need improve the method for the resistivity of the conductive layer self that is used for main wire material.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the present invention is absorbed in the problems referred to above, and provide a kind of method that forms the line of semiconductor device, wherein after forming, the conductive layer that is used for main wire material just forms amorphous silication thing layer or amorphous TiSiN layer, to produce the nucleus that the nucleus time-division is used in the formation conductive layer subsequently, and the resistivity of the conductive layer that reduces to form thereon, reduce the resistance of line thus.
According to an aspect, the invention provides a kind of method that forms the line of semiconductor device, be included in the step that forms amorphous silication thing layer on the Semiconductor substrate and on amorphous silication thing layer, form the line conductive layer.
This method is further comprising the steps of: before forming amorphous silication thing layer, forming adhesion layer on the Semiconductor substrate and form barrier metal layer on adhesion layer.Adhesion layer is preferably formed by Ti, and barrier metal layer for example can use that one of TiN, TaN and TiW form.
This method also is included in and forms after the amorphous silication thing layer, forms the step of ohmic contact layer on the interface of adhesion layer and Semiconductor substrate.Ohmic contact layer is because the metal silicide layer that the silicon ion of the metal ion of adhesion layer and Semiconductor substrate reacts to each other and forms by heat treatment process.
