Description

用于制备高K介质层的界面层的方法Method for preparing interface layer of high-k dielectric layer

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及半导体制造领域,更具体地说,本发明涉及一种用于制备高K(高介电常数)介质层的界面层的方法。The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, more specifically, the invention relates to a method for preparing an interface layer of a high-K (high dielectric constant) dielectric layer.

背景技术Background technique

随着超大规模集成电路(VLSI)和特大规模集成电路(ULSI)的飞速发展,MOS器件的尺寸不断地减小。为增加器件的反应速度、提高驱动电流与存储电容的容量,器件中栅氧化层的厚度不断地降低。然而,随之而来的两个问题成为了阻碍集成电路进一步发展的重要因素:漏电和击穿。当栅氧化层的厚度低于由于量子隧道效应,载流子能流过这个超薄栅介质,并且载流子隧穿几率随着氧化层的厚度的减少按指数规律上升。当集成电路中MOSFET工作时,电荷流过器件导致在栅介质层和SiO2/Si界面产生缺陷,当临界缺陷密度达到时,栅介质层发生击穿,导致器件失效。当技术节点到45纳米以下,传统的SiON栅介质已经不能满足器件的漏电和击穿要求,不仅由于漏电过大导致器件无法正常工作,而且经时击穿(TDDB)不能满足可靠性要求。With the rapid development of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) and Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI), the size of MOS devices has been continuously reduced. In order to increase the response speed of the device, increase the driving current and the capacity of the storage capacitor, the thickness of the gate oxide layer in the device is continuously reduced. However, two subsequent problems have become important factors hindering the further development of integrated circuits: leakage and breakdown. When the gate oxide thickness is less than Due to the quantum tunneling effect, carriers can flow through this ultra-thin gate dielectric, and the probability of carrier tunneling increases exponentially with the reduction of the thickness of the oxide layer. When the MOSFET in the integrated circuit is working, the charge flows through the device and causes defects to be generated on the gate dielectric layer and the SiO 2 /Si interface. When the critical defect density reaches the critical defect density, the gate dielectric layer breaks down and causes the device to fail. When the technology node is below 45nm, the traditional SiON gate dielectric can no longer meet the leakage and breakdown requirements of the device. Not only does the device fail to work normally due to excessive leakage, but also the time-dependent breakdown (TDDB) cannot meet the reliability requirements.

由驱动电流和栅电容的公式可知,栅电容越大,驱动电流越大;而栅极介质层介电常数越大,栅电容越大。From the formula of drive current and gate capacitance, it can be seen that the greater the gate capacitance, the greater the drive current; and the greater the dielectric constant of the gate dielectric layer, the greater the gate capacitance.

ID~μ/Lg*Cox(VDD-VTH)2 I D ~μ/L g *C ox (V DD -V TH ) 2

Cox=kA/dC ox = kA/d

其中ID为驱动电流,μ为载流子迁移率,Lg为栅极长度,Cox为栅电容,VDD为工作电压,VTH为阈值电压,k为栅极介质层介电常数,A为器件面积,d为栅极介质层厚度。Among them, ID is the driving current, μ is the carrier mobility, L g is the gate length, C ox is the gate capacitance, V DD is the operating voltage, V TH is the threshold voltage, k is the dielectric constant of the gate dielectric layer, A is the device area, and d is the thickness of the gate dielectric layer.

因此,需要一种替代的栅极介质层材料,不但要有够厚的实际厚度来降低漏电流密度和加强经时击穿(TDDB)可靠性要求,而且能提供高的栅极电容来增加驱动电流。为了达到上述目的,替代的栅极介质层材料所具有的介电常数需要高于传统的氮氧化硅(SiON)的介电常数。因此在45纳米技术节点以下,迫切需要采用新型的高K栅介质如Hf基、Zr或Al的氧化物来取代SiON。Therefore, there is a need for an alternative gate dielectric layer material that not only has a sufficiently thick practical thickness to reduce leakage current density and strengthen reliability requirements for time-dependent breakdown (TDDB), but also provides high gate capacitance to increase drive current. In order to achieve the above purpose, the dielectric constant of the alternative gate dielectric layer material needs to be higher than that of conventional silicon oxynitride (SiON). Therefore, below the 45nm technology node, it is urgent to use new high-K gate dielectrics such as Hf-based, Zr or Al oxides to replace SiON.

高K栅介质常用的制备流程为:1.高K前清洗;2.超薄SiO2或SiON层生长;3.高K介质层沉积;4.高K后退火(Post Anneal)。The common preparation process of high K gate dielectric is: 1. Cleaning before high K; 2. Growth of ultra-thin SiO2 or SiON layer; 3. Deposition of high K dielectric layer; 4. Post Anneal after high K.

由于高K栅介质材料主要以金属氧化物为主,在制备过程中必定有氧的存在,而氧与硅的反应会在高K介质层与硅衬底之间形成二氧化硅或硅化物的界面氧化层,由于该氧化层的存在使得氧化物等效厚度(EOT)的缩小变得困难。为了抑制该氧化层的生成,需要在高K介质层沉积之前生长一层高品质的超薄SiO2或SiON层。Since the high-K gate dielectric material is mainly metal oxide, there must be oxygen in the preparation process, and the reaction between oxygen and silicon will form silicon dioxide or silicide between the high-K dielectric layer and the silicon substrate. The interface oxide layer, due to the existence of the oxide layer, makes it difficult to reduce the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT). In order to suppress the formation of the oxide layer, it is necessary to grow a high-quality ultra-thin SiO 2 or SiON layer before the deposition of the high-K dielectric layer.

The interface layer of the prepared high-K dielectric layer is denser, which can suppress the The interface oxide layer formed between the K dielectric layer and the silicon substrate makes it easy to reduce the equivalent thickness of oxide (EOT).
