Abstract:
A conductive portion connects a lower conductive layer formed on a semiconductor substrate provided in a first interlayer insulating layer to an upper conductive layer formed on the lower conductive layer, and provided in a second interlayer insulating layer. This portion is divided into at least one plug and a pad. At least one plug is formed in a first interlayer insulating layer and the lower part of a second interlayer insulating layer. The second interlayer insulating layer is divided into a plurality of interlayer insulating layers so that upper and lower widths of the divided plugs formed in the divided portion of the second interlayer insulating layer are not greatly different from each other. The pad formed on the upper portion of the second interlayer insulating layer has an upper width such that the upper conductive layer connected to the pad is not undesirably connected to an adjacent upper conductive layer via the pad.
Abstract:
An etch-stop layer is selectively provided between layers of a multiple-layered circuit in a selective manner so as to allow for outgassing of impurities during subsequent fabrication processes. The etch-stop layer is formed over an underlying stud so as to serve as an alignment target during formation of an overlying stud formed in an upper layer. In this manner multiple-layered circuits, for example memory devices, can be fabricated in relatively dense configurations.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A patterning method of an SOG(Spin On Glass) is provided to prevent a bad profile of an SOG pattern due to a cleaning process by performing a two-step curing. CONSTITUTION: An SOG(102a) is deposited on a semiconductor substrate formed with defined patterns. The first curing is performed on the SOG(102a) at the temperature of 600-800 deg.C in an H2O gas or an O2 gas condition. A hard mask pattern(104) is formed on the SOG(102a). Then, the SOG(102a) is selectively etched by using the hard mask pattern(104) as a mask. The second curing is performed on the etched SOG(102a) at the temperature of 400-800 deg.C in the same gas condition with the first curing. Then, remaining SOG(102a) is removed by etching using the hard mask pattern(104) as a mask.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A semiconductor device having a multi-layered interconnection structure is provided to prevent a short-circuit between a landing pad and a circuit pattern, by forming a step-type contact stud, by forming a pillar-type contact stud in an interlayer dielectric and by forming a conductive pattern for a landing pad on the interlayer dielectric such that the conductive pattern is of a size greater than the line width of the contact stud. CONSTITUTION: The interlayer dielectric is formed on a semiconductor substrate(200). The first contact stud is formed in the interlayer dielectric, in which the line width of an inlet part adjacent to the surface of the interlayer dielectric is greater than that of a contact part adjacent to the substrate. The second stud is formed in the interlayer dielectric, separated from the first contact stud by a predetermined interval.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A semiconductor device having a bit line landing pad and a borderless contact on a bit line stud having an etch stop layer is provided to guarantee precision of an etch depth, by forming the etch stop layer on the stud of a lower layer such that the etch stop layer has etch selectively different from that of a lower insulation layer. CONSTITUTION: The first stud is formed in the first insulation layer(58). The etch stop layer(68) is formed on the first stud. The second insulation layer is formed on the etch stop layer. The second stud passes through the second insulation layer and the etch stop layer, electrically connected to the first stud. The etch stop layer has a different etch selectivity from that of the second insulation layer.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for manufacturing a bitline contact of a semiconductor device is provided to form stable metal silicide layers in different regions, by forming a silicon supply layer inside a contact hole before a metal layer for forming the silicide layer is manufactured. CONSTITUTION: A plurality of the first and second transistors having at least a gate electrode(120,140) composed of polysilicon/tungsten silicide are formed on a semiconductor substrate(100) in which a cell array region and a peripheral region are defined. The first interlayer dielectric(220) is formed on the substrate including the plurality of the first and second transistors. A conductive pad is formed among the plurality of the first transistors. The second interlayer dielectric(260) is formed on the first interlayer dielectric, the conductive pad and the first and second transistors. The second interlayer dielectric is etched to form the first, second and third bitline contact holes(280a,280b,280c) exposing the conductive pad, the substrate on both sides of the second transistors and the tungsten silicide layer, respectively. A silicon supply layer(300) is formed in the second interlayer dielectric and the bitline contact hole. A metal layer(320) for forming silicide is deposited and annealed on the silicon supply layer to form a metal silicide layer. A barrier metal layer is formed on the silicide layer. A bitline metal layer is formed on the barrier metal layer.
