Abstract

The invention discloses a cleaning method for a multicrystal silicon gate, which is applied before a tungsten silicide layer is deposited on the surface of the multicrystal silicon gate. The prior cleaning method can not remove metaphosphoric acid crystals on the surface of the multicrystal silicon gate, thereby the yield rate of devices is affected. The cleaning method of the invention adopts hydrogen fluoride to clean the surface of the multicrystal silicon gate and adopts mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide solution to clean the surface of the multicrystal silicon gate. By adoption of the cleaning method provided by the invention, autoxidation layers and the metaphosphoric acid crystals which are formed on the surface of the multicrystal silicon gate can be effectively removed, thereby the adhesivity of the multicrystal silicon gate and tungsten silicide is effectively improved; the interface defects of the multicrystal silicon gate and the tungsten silicide are reduced; the yield rate of products is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cleaning process in the semiconductor field, in particular to a method for cleaning the surface of a polysilicon gate before tungsten silicide deposition. Background technique [0002] Tungsten silicide (WuSi x ) thin film is widely used in the manufacture of large-scale integrated circuits. Due to the advantages of high melting point and low resistivity, it is often used to improve the ohmic contact between the metal electrode and the silicon (Si) in the source and drain regions, and Improve the conductivity of the metal oxide semiconductor (MOS, Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistor gate conductive layer. In order to improve the conductivity of the gate conductive layer of the MOS transistor, the polysilicon gate is often doped with donor impurity phosphorus (P), and the doping concentration is relatively high. Tungsten silicide is deposited on polysilicon to form the polysilicon metal layer of the gate, and the adhesion ...
