A manufacturing method of a semiconductor integrated circuit device according to this Embodiment will be described in the order of steps based on
First, a semiconductor substrate 1 made of p type single crystal silicon as illustrated in
By oxidizing the surface of this semiconductor substrate 1, a silicon oxide film 2 is formed. After selective formation of a silicon nitride film 3 over the silicon oxide film, thermal oxidation is effected with this silicon nitride film 3 as a mask, whereby a field oxide film 4 (first insulating film) of about 300 nm thick is formed as illustrated in
As illustrated in
With this resist film R1 as a mask, ion implantation of phosphorus is conducted. Ion implantation energy at this time is set so that phosphorus is implanted also below the field oxide films 4,4a in the low breakdown voltage n channel type MISFET forming region LN, low breakdown voltage p channel type MISFET forming region LP and high breakdown voltage p channel type MISFET forming region HP. The resist film R1 is then stripped (
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
After removal of the resist film R3, a resist film R4 is formed over a region other than the vicinity of the source-drain regions of the high breakdown voltage n channel type MISFETQn2 as illustrated in
After removal of the resist film R4, heat treatment is conducted, whereby p type electric field relaxation layers 8 and n type electric field relaxation layers 9 are formed in the vicinity of the source-drain regions of the high breakdown voltage p channel type MISFETQp2 and in the vicinity of the source-drain regions of the high breakdown voltage n channel type MISFETQn2, respectively.
A resist film R5 is then formed over a region other than the low breakdown voltage p channel type MISFET forming region LP as illustrated in
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
After removal of the thin oxide film 2 over the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1, a silicon oxide film 5a (second insulating film) which is to be a portion of a gate insulating film 5 is formed by thermal oxidation. Over the semiconductor substrate 1, a silicon oxide film 5b (third insulating film) is deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). The thickness of this silicon oxide film 5b is set greater than that of the silicon oxide film 5a.
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
Removal of the silicon oxide film 5b over the source-drain regions of the MISFETQn1,Qp1,Qp2,Qn2 makes it possible to carry out simultaneous ion implantation in these regions having the same conductivity type. This enables a reduction in the number of masks and also a step reduction.
The quality of the silicon oxide film 5b is then improved by heat treatment at 900° C., desirably 1000° C. or greater. The silicon oxide film after heat treatment is called 5c (
Owing to the silicon oxide film 5c over the field oxide film 4 in the high breakdown voltage n channel type MISFET forming region HN, high breakdown voltage p channel type MISFET forming region HP and capacitive element forming region CA, the threshold voltage Vt of a parasitic MOS formed over these regions can be heightened.
Since the silicon oxide film 5b is formed by LPCVD, an etching ratio of it relative to the field oxide films 4,4a which are thermally oxidized films can be set high. The silicon oxide film 5b can therefore be etched without substantial etching of the surface of the field oxide films 4,4a, which makes it possible to maintain a sufficient thickness of the field oxide film 4 and to keep a large threshold voltage Vt of a parasitic MOS formed over the field oxide film 4.
As illustrated in

As illustrated in
As illustrated in
In the above-described steps, removal of a thin oxide film on the surface of the semiconductor substrate such as removal of the silicon oxide film 2 or silicon oxide film 5a is carried out in repetition. Upon this removal of the silicon oxide film, the surface of the field oxide film 4 is inevitably etched and its thickness decreases. According to this Embodiment, however, the decreased film thickness can be made up for by the silicon oxide film 5c over the field oxide film 4, which makes it possible to maintain high threshold voltage Vt of a parasitic MOS formed thereover and to suppress parasitic generation below the field oxide film due to the interconnection between elements. It is needless to say that the threshold voltage Vt of a parasitic MOS must be higher than the voltage to be applied to the element. The voltage to be applied to the MISFETQn1,Qp1 of the low breakdown voltage region is, for example, about 3.6V, while the voltage to be applied to the MISFETQn2,Qp2 of the high breakdown voltage region is, for example, about 20V. Adjustment of the thickness of the silicon oxide film 5c to exceed that of the silicon oxide film 2 or 5d is more effective.
Over the semiconductor substrate 1, a polycrystalline silicon film 11 is then deposited by CVD. This polycrystalline silicon film 11 is patterned to leave it over the gate insulating film 5d of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1. This polycrystalline silicon film 11 is to be a gate electrode SG (second conductive film) of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1. At this time, the polycrystalline silicon film 11 is left also over the capacitive insulating film (not illustrated) over the lower electrode LE of the capacitive element forming region CA. This polycrystalline silicon film 11 is to be an upper electrode UE of the capacitive element C. Alternatively, the gate electrode SG may be formed by patterning a tungsten silicide layer formed over the surface of the polycrystalline silicon film 11. This tungsten silicide layer is formed by depositing a metal film such as tungsten film over the polycrystalline silicon film 11, followed by heat treatment. This silicide layer is formed to lower the resistance of the gate electrode SG.
Next, source-drain regions of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1 and high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2 are formed. A description will be made of the formation of these source-drain regions.
As illustrated in
After removal of the resist film R7, a resist film R8 is formed over the semiconductor substrate 1 as illustrated in
After removal of the resist film R8, phosphorus and boron thus implanted are thermally diffused on both sides of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1 and Qp1, respectively, whereby p− type semiconductor regions 14 and n− type semiconductor regions 13 are formed (
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
Here, the resist films R7,R8 are left over the gate electrode FG of each of the high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2 in order to prevent charging of the gate electrode FG and occurrence of dielectric breakdown of the gate oxide film due to ion implantation.
By the so far described steps, the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1 (first MISFETs) equipped with source-drain (n− type semiconductor regions 13 and n+ type semiconductor regions 17, p− type semiconductor regions 14 and p+ type semiconductor regions 18) having an LDD (Lightly Doped Drain) structure are formed in the low breakdown voltage regions (LN,LP (first regions)), while the high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2 (second MISFETs) are formed in the high breakdown voltage regions (HN,HP (second regions)).
Over these Qn1, Qn2, Qp1 and Qp2, and capacitive element C, an interlevel insulating film SZ made of a silicon oxide film or the like is deposited. After formation of a contact hole (not illustrated) over a desired region, a first-level interconnect M1 is formed over the interlevel insulating film including the contact hole (refer to
In this Embodiment, the gate electrode SG of each of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1 was formed by the polycrystalline silicon film 11, while the gate electrode FG of each of the high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2 was formed by the polycrystalline silicon film 10. Alternatively, these gate electrodes may be formed from the polycrystalline silicon film 11.
Described specifically, as illustrated in
An impurity is then ion-implanted over the semiconductor substrate 1 in order to regulate the threshold voltage Vt of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1 (refer to
Over the semiconductor substrate 1, the polycrystalline silicon film 11 is deposited by CVD. This polycrystalline silicon film 11 is then patterned to leave it over the gate insulating film 5 (5a,5c) of the high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2 and the gate insulating film 5d of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1.
By these steps, the gate electrode of each of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1 and high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2 can be formed simultaneously from the polycrystalline silicon film 11 (SG). The gate electrode of each of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1 and high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2 may also be formed from the polycrystalline silicon film 10, but if so, the polycrystalline silicon film 11 inevitably remains over the side walls of the gate electrode in the subsequent deposition and patterning steps of the polycrystalline silicon film 11, which adversely affects the characteristics of MISFET. It is therefore preferred to form these gate electrodes from the polycrystalline silicon film 11.
In Embodiment 1, the field oxide film 4 was used for separation between two adjacent regions of LN, LP, HN, and HP of the MISFET forming regions. Instead of it, an oxide film embedded in a groove may be used for separation.
A manufacturing method of a semiconductor integrated circuit device according to this Embodiment will next be described in the order of steps based on
As illustrated in
By oxidizing the surface of this semiconductor substrate 1, a silicon oxide film 2 is formed. After selective formation of a silicon nitride film 3 over this silicon oxide film, with this silicon nitride film 3 as a mask, the semiconductor substrate 1 is etched to form grooves U of about 300 nm depth as illustrated in
The substrate 1 is thermally oxidized at about 1000° C. to form a thin silicon oxide film (not illustrated) of about 10 nm thick on the inside wall of the groove. This silicon oxide film serves to recover the damage on the inside wall of the groove formed by dry etching and in addition, to relax a stress appearing on the interface between the substrate 1 and a silicon oxide film 104 to be embedded inside of the groove in the subsequent step.
As illustrated in
Here, as illustrated in
With regard to steps similar to those of Embodiment 1 among the subsequent steps, overlapping description is avoided and only the outline is described.
As illustrated in
Phosphorus is ion-implanted below the silicon oxide films 104,104a in the high breakdown voltage p channel type MISFET forming region HP, whereby an n type well 7 is formed.
Implanting energy of ions (phosphorus, boron) at this time is set so that ions are implanted also below the silicon oxide films 104,104a in the high breakdown voltage n channel type MISFET forming region HN and high breakdown voltage p channel type MISFET forming region HP.
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
By heat treatment at 900° C. or greater, quality of the silicon oxide film 5b is improved. The silicon oxide film after this heat treatment is called “5c”. The silicon oxide film 5c over a future gate electrode region of the high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2 becomes a portion of the gate insulating film 5. In short, this silicon oxide film 5c and silicon oxide film 5a constitute the gate insulating film 5 of the high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2.
By this silicon oxide film 5c over the silicon oxide film 104 in the high breakdown voltage n channel type MISFET forming region HN and high breakdown voltage p channel type MISFET forming region HP, the threshold voltage Vt of a parasitic MOS formed over these regions can be increased.
Since the silicon oxide film 5b is formed by LPCVD, an etching ratio of this film relative to the silicon oxide films 104,104a can be set larger, making it possible to etch the silicon oxide film 5b without substantial etching of the surface of the silicon oxide films 104,104a. As a result, the thickness of the silicon oxide film 104 can be secured, whereby the threshold voltage Vt of a parasitic MOS formed thereover can be made greater. In addition, a recess amount of the surface of the silicon oxide films 104,104a due to the recess phenomenon as described above can be reduced.
As illustrated in

As illustrated in
By CVD, a polycrystalline silicon film 11 is deposited over the semiconductor substrate 1. This polycrystalline silicon film 11 is patterned to leave it over the gate insulating film 5d of each of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1. The polycrystalline silicon film 11 becomes a gate electrode SG of each of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1. Alternatively, the gate SG may be formed by forming a tungsten silicide layer on the surface of the polycrystalline silicon film 11 and then patterning it. This silicide layer serves to decrease the resistance of the gate electrode SG.
As illustrated in
After formation of a silicon oxide film 15 over the gate electrodes FG and SG, another silicon oxide film is deposited over the semiconductor substrate 1, followed by etching it back to form side wall films 16s on the side walls of a laminate of the silicon oxide film 15 with the gate electrode FG and that with SG.
On both sides of the gate electrodes (SG,FG) of the low breakdown voltage n-channel type MISFETQn1 and high breakdown voltage n-channel type MISFETQn2, arsenic is ion-implanted, whereby n+ type semiconductor regions 17 are formed. By implantation of boron, p+ type semiconductor regions 18 are formed on both sides of the gate electrodes (SG,FG) of the low breakdown voltage p-channel type MISFETQp1 and high breakdown voltage p-channel type MISFETQp2. At this time, neither arsenic nor boron is implanted below the silicon oxide films 104,104a and silicon oxide film 5c.
By the steps so far described, the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1 equipped with source-drain (n− type semiconductor regions 13 and n+ type semiconductor regions, p− type semiconductor regions 14 and p+ type semiconductor regions 18) having an LDD (Lightly Doped Drain) structure are formed in the low breakdown voltage regions (LN,LP). In the high breakdown voltage regions (HN,HP), on the other hand, the high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2 are formed.
According to this Embodiment, thickness of the silicon oxide film 104 can be maintained so that generation of a recess can be reduced. This makes it possible to reduce lowering in breakdown voltage or generation of a kink effect due to the recess. Lowering in the breakdown voltage occurs owing to electric field effect concentration on the surface step portion of the silicon oxide film 104 formed owing to generation of recesses. The term “kink effect” means a phenomenon showing a double waveform in sub-threshold characteristics of MISFET (characteristics depending on the relation of gate voltage (abscissa) vs drain current (ordinate)), because the drain current becomes greater in a smaller gate voltage region.
b) is an enlarged view of
A multilayer interconnect is formed by repeating formation of interlevel insulating films and a wiring metal over these MISFETQn1,Qn2,Qp1,Qp2. Over the uppermost interconnection layer, a protective film is formed to cover the whole chip, but its diagram and detailed description are omitted.
A manufacturing method of a semiconductor integrated circuit device of this Embodiment will next be described in the order of steps based on
A semiconductor substrate 1 having a gate electrode FG formed over a gate insulating film 5 (5a,5c) of each of the high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2 as illustrated in
As illustrated in
By heat treatment in a nitrogen atmosphere, the gate insulating film 5d is nitrided. By introducing nitrogen on the interface of the gate insulating film 5d in such a manner, fluctuations of the threshold voltage Vt due to hot carriers generated at the end of the drain can be suppressed.
As illustrated in
If this nitriding treatment is conducted after an impurity implantation step for regulation of the threshold voltage Vt, which step will be described later, diffusion of the impurity occurs by this nitriding treatment, making it difficult to regulate the threshold voltage Vt. Even if the impurity implantation step comes after nitriding treatment, if the polycrystalline silicon film 111 is formed after this impurity implantation step, the impurity is implanted while the gate insulating film 5d is exposed, causing a problem of contamination of the gate insulating film 5d by heavy metals existing in the ion implantation apparatus.
As described below, an impurity is therefore ion-implanted over the semiconductor substrate 1 through the polycrystalline silicon film 111 while having the polycrystalline silicon film 111 formed over the gate insulating film 5d.
First, as illustrated in
When the impurity is implanted into the gate insulating film 5, a problem of so-called NBT (negative bias temperature) becomes prominent. This means a phenomenon that only by application of a negative potential to the gate electrode of the p channel type MISFET, its threshold voltage Vt increases. Particularly when the gate electrode is p type, this phenomenon stands out. This phenomenon is presumed to have a close relationship with the existence of boron in a gate insulating film and tends to occur when an impurity is contained in the gate insulating film.
In this Embodiment, however, implantation of an impurity into the gate insulating film 5 can be prevented, whereby generation of an NBT phenomenon can be reduced.
Over the polycrystalline silicon film 111, a polycrystalline silicon film 111b is then deposited. These polycrystalline silicon films 111,111b are to be gate a electrode SG of each of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1. These polycrystalline silicon films 111,111b are therefore patterned to leave them over the gate insulating film 5d (
It is also possible to remove only the polycrystalline silicon film 10 over the low breakdown voltage region (LN,LP) upon the above-described patterning of the polycrystalline silicon film 10 and carry out patterning of the polycrystalline silicon film 10 over the high breakdown voltage regions (HN,HP) after formation of the gate electrode SG.
The gate electrode SG of each of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1 is made of a laminate of the polycrystalline silicon film 111 and polycrystalline silicon film 111b as described above, because implantation of an impurity for regulation of the threshold voltage of each of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1 is carried out with good precision. In other words, impurity control is difficult and a desired threshold voltage Vt is not available in the case of ion implantation through a polycrystalline silicon film 111 which has a greater thickness.
As described above, when a silicide layer is formed over the gate electrode SG, a polycrystalline silicon film 111 constituting the gate electrode causes siliciding reaction of even silicon in the underlying gate insulating film if the polycrystalline silicon film is thin, resulting in lowering in the breakdown voltage of the gate insulating film 5d.
In this Embodiment, however, the gate electrode SG of each of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1 is formed from a laminate of the polycrystalline silicon film 111 and polycrystalline silicon film 111b, making it possible to ion implanting, with good precision, an impurity for regulating the threshold voltage and to secure breakdown voltage of the gate insulating film 5d.
Then, source•drain regions of each of the low breakdown voltage MISFETQn1,Qp1 and high breakdown voltage MISFETQn2,Qp2 are formed. Steps thereafter are similar to those of Embodiment 1 described with reference to
In this Embodiment, as illustrated in
The invention made by the present inventors was described specifically based on Embodiments. It will be obvious that the present invention is not limited by these Embodiments but various changes may be made within an extent not departing from the scope of the invention.
Advantages available with typical implementations of the present invention will next be described simply.
According to the present invention, a silicon oxide film 5c (third insulating film) is formed over a field oxide film 4 or a silicon oxide film 104 (first insulating film) formed in a groove, which makes it possible to increase the threshold voltage of a parasitic MOS formed over the field oxide film 4 or the like.
According to the present invention, impurity implantation for regulating the threshold voltage of a low breakdown voltage MISFET is conducted while having a conductive film (second conductive film) constituting a gate electrode of the low breakdown voltage MISFET over a gate electrode (first conductive film) of a high breakdown voltage MISFET, appearance of an NBT phenomenon can be suppressed.
According to the present invention, it is possible to form a high-performance miniaturized semiconductor integrated circuit device.
