Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for contacting a doping region of a semiconductor component.
- Semiconductor components are formed, for example, in a silicon substrate.
- capacitors, resistors or transistors are formed in the semiconductor substrate.
- conductive regions are produced in the semiconductor substrate by introducing dopant into the semiconductor substrate.
- the doped regions have an increased conductivity and are used as electrical connections for the components formed in the semiconductor substrate.
- different doping regions are electrically connected to one another by means of conductor tracks.
- the electrical wiring is usually formed in such a way that an insulating layer is first deposited on a surface of the semiconductor substrate and contact holes are then formed in the insulating layer.
- the contact holes usually extend from the surface of the insulating layer to a surface of a doped region to be connected, the surface of the doped region to be connected being exposed by means of the contact hole.
- a metal-containing layer is deposited on the insulating layer and in the contact hole on the doping region.
- a temperature step is usually carried out in a nitrogenous atmosphere, in which two process goals are achieved at the same time. First, part of the metal-containing layer reacts with the silicon of the doping region to form a silicide layer, and secondly, the non-siliconized part of the reacts 1 1 1 1 4 1
- the object is achieved by a method for contacting a doping region of a semiconductor component with the steps:
- a second atmosphere which may contain H 2 or argon, for a second period of time, the second atmosphere containing a greater proportion of nitrogen than the first atmosphere, the remaining remainder of the metal-containing layer being metal nitride is converted.
- two temperature steps are carried out in a first atmosphere which contains H 2 (hydrogen) or argon, the first temperature step being more advantageous
- the first and second atmosphere contain the inert gases H 2 or argon.
- H 2 or argon For example, hydrogen has the positive property that defects in a substrate during a
- the metal-containing layer is deposited on the surface area of the doping region with an increased layer thickness and an improved conformity. This advantageously leads to a reduced contact resistance.
- the exposed surface area is cleaned by means of wet chemical cleaning.
- Wet chemical cleaning has the advantage that any insulating layers that may be present are removed from the surface area of the doping area. This results in a reduced contact resistance.
- FIG. 1 shows a substrate with a doping region, a contact hole and a metal-containing layer
- FIG. 2 shows the arrangement from FIG. 1, a metal silicide layer having been formed
- FIG. 3 shows the arrangement according to FIG. 2, the metal-containing layer being converted into a metal-nitride-containing layer
- Figure 4 shows the relative resistance of the contacting of a doping region for four different manufacturing processes.
- a doping region 3 is arranged in the substrate 1 on the substrate surface 2.
- a layer 8 containing titanium nitride Suitable for 50 seconds to form a layer 8 containing titanium nitride.
- a temperature step in a process chamber at a temperature of 550 ° C. in an atmosphere with 10% hydrogen and 90% nitrogen for a period of 25 minutes is suitable for forming a titanium silicide and a titanium nitride layer.
- FIG. 4 shows the relative resistance for four different processing methods P1, P2, P3 and P4 for two different sputtering methods for forming the metal-containing layer 6.
- the first curve K 1 connects the sputter deposition processes for the metal-containing layer, which have been formed by means of an ionized metal plasma deposition.
- the curve K2 connects points at which the metal-containing layer 6 was formed using a standard sputtering method.
- the process P1 carries out a one-step temperature step at a temperature of 550 ° C. in an atmosphere with 4% hydrogen and 96% nitrogen for a period of 25 minutes. It can be seen that curve K 1 and curve K 2 give the same resistance value.
- the resistance of the process control P1 is used as a reference value with 100% as a basis for comparison for the other process controls P2 to P4.
- Process control P2 initially introduces a first temperature step for 10 minutes in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere
- a temperature step is then carried out at a temperature of 550 ° C. for 15 minutes in a forming gas atmosphere with 4% hydrogen and 96% nitrogen.
- the resistance has been reduced to about 93% for the ionized sputtering process and to about 82% of the original resistance for the standard sputtering process. This means an advantage of the temperature process method according to the invention over the standard method.
- the temperature process sequence P3 provides that a temperature step is first carried out at 550 ° C. in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere for a period of 20 minutes. A temperature process is then carried out at a temperature of 550 ° C. and for a period of 5 minutes in a forming gas atmosphere with 4% hydrogen and 96% nitrogen. The process P3 leads to a reduction in the resistance to approximately 88% for the ionized sputtering process and 79% for the standard sputtering process.
- the process sequence P4 provides that a temperature step is carried out for a period of 25 minutes at a temperature of 550 ° C. in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere. This results in a reduction to 88% of the original resistance for the ionized sputtering process and to 78% for the standard sputtering process. Method P4, however, does not nitride the metal-containing layer 6, so that no nitride barrier is formed.
