Please refer to Figure 1B, be cover curtain with patterning photoresist layer 106, sequentially remove the part cover curtain material layer 104 on the substrate 100 of the 3rd district 100c and portions of insulating material floor 102, so that be less than formation first insulating barrier 102a and cover curtain layer 104a on the first district 100a and the second district 100b, and expose the section substrate 100 of the 3rd district 100c.The above-mentioned technique that removes comprises and carries out etch process.And then, patterning photoresist layer 106 is removed.In one embodiment, optionally carry out cineration technics, to guarantee that patterning photoresist layer 106 is removed completely.In the present embodiment, remove the section substrate 100 that technique only removes the 3rd district 100c although above-mentioned, the present invention is not as limit.In another embodiment, whole substrates 100 of also removable 3rd district 100c.In this case, the first insulating barrier 102a is only formed on the substrate 100 of the first district 100a and the second district 100b.
Moreover although in the present embodiment to remove the mode of portions of insulating material layer 102 to form the first insulating barrier 102a, the present invention does not limit the generation type of the first insulating barrier 102a.That is, in other embodiments, also can use other modes be applicable to and directly on the substrate 100 of the first district 100a and the second district 100b, form the first insulating barrier 102a.
Please refer to Fig. 1 C, on the substrate 100 of the 3rd district 100c, form the second insulating barrier 108.The formation method of the second insulating barrier 108 comprises carries out thermal oxidation method.In the present embodiment, the second insulating barrier 108 is formed on the section substrate 100 of the 3rd district 100c, and extends to because of beak effect in the first insulating barrier 102a around it (as shown in Figure 1 C).Moreover in the present embodiment, although the second insulating barrier 108 is only formed on the section substrate 100 of the 3rd district 100c, the present invention is not as limit.In another embodiment, the second insulating barrier 108 also can be formed on whole substrates 100 of the 3rd district 100c.In addition, in the step of formation the 3rd insulating barrier 108, also can form oxidation film layer (not illustrating) on the surface of cover curtain layer 104a simultaneously.In one embodiment, after the step of formation the 3rd insulating barrier 108, also can optionally carry out a wet dip (wetdip) technique, to remove the native oxide (nativeoxidelayer) on the 3rd insulating barrier 108 surface.Above-mentioned wet dip technique also can remove the oxidation film layer on cover curtain layer 104a surface simultaneously.Afterwards, cover curtain layer 104a is removed.
Please refer to Fig. 1 D, on substrate 100, form patterning photoresist layer 110, to expose the first insulating barrier 102a of the second district 100b.Then, carry out nitrogen and implant technique 112, to form inhibition zone 114 in the substrate 100 of the second district 100b.Special instruction ground is that, although among the present embodiment, inhibition zone 114 is only formed in the section substrate 100 of the second district 100b, and the present invention is not as limit.In another embodiment, inhibition zone 114 also can be formed in whole substrates 100 of the second district 100b.The formation method of inhibition zone 114 comprises with every square centimeter about 10 13~ 10 15the nitrogen that the implant dosage of individual atom and the implantation energy of about 13 ~ 17KeV carry out implants technique 112.The thickness of inhibition zone 114 is about 10 dust ~ 90 dusts, is more preferred from 10 dust ~ 70 dusts.
Please refer to Fig. 1 E, remove the patterning photoresist layer 110 on substrate 100.In one embodiment, optionally carry out cineration technics, to guarantee that patterning photoresist layer 110 is removed completely.Then, the first insulating barrier 102a is removed, to expose the substrate 100 of the first district 100a and the second district 100b.The removing method of the first insulating barrier 102a comprises and carries out etch process.
It is to be particularly noted that in the present invention, be that the nitrogen first carried out for the formation of inhibition zone 114 implants technique 112, then remove the first insulating barrier 102a.That is, when carrying out nitrogen to the second district 100b and implanting technique 112, the first insulating barrier 102a on the second district 100b can be used as the resilient coating of protection second district 100b, implants to avoid nitrogen substrate 100 surface that technique 112 destroys the second district 100b.
Please refer to Fig. 1 F, the 3rd insulating barrier 116 is formed on substrate 100, wherein, because the nitrogen in inhibition zone 114 can suppress the speed of growth of the 3rd insulating barrier 116, therefore the thickness of the 3rd insulating barrier 116 on inhibition zone 114 can be less than the thickness of the 3rd insulation layer 116 in the first district 100a.The method forming the 3rd insulating barrier 116 comprises carries out thermal oxidation method.In the present embodiment, the 3rd insulating barrier 116 is less than again the thickness of the second insulating barrier 108 in the thickness of the first district 100a.
It is to be particularly noted that in the step of formation the 3rd insulating barrier 116, the nitrogen in inhibition zone 114 disengages from substrate 100.Therefore, in Fig. 1 F with represented by dotted arrows inhibition zone 114.In specific words, in boiler tube growth regulation three insulating barrier 116 step in, carry out low-pressure suction (purge), therefore in inhibition zone 114, nitrogen upwards disengages from substrate 100, but not diffuses in substrate 100 simultaneously.From another viewpoint, can be considered in the semiconductor element finally completed (as shown in fig. 1h), nitrogen that is not residual or only residual minim is implanted the nitrogen that technique 112 is implanted.Therefore, the nitrogen that nitrogen implantation technique 112 is implanted can't affect in fact the usefulness of semiconductor element.
