Problems solved by technology

The second is that the aluminum filling process of the through hole is not perfect at the technical node below 0.18 microns
[0008] If the second step is made by CVD method, the CVD is uniform in all directions, but the reaction speed is slow, so it is not suitable for the third step, so two different reaction chambers are still needed
In addition, in the second step of CVD method, the carbon content of the film is high, which easily leads to the formation of voids.
[0009] All in all, the disadvantages of the prior art method are: void defects are unavoidable in the IC production process with a characteristic line width of less than 0.18 μm and a high aspect ratio, and two reaction chambers are necessary to complete the process of the second to fourth steps, and the production High equipment requirements are usually replaced by copper, which greatly increases the production cost, especially it is more difficult to extend the aluminum filling technology to below 0.1μm (nanoscale)

Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a process method for filling aluminum into nano through holes by using a PVD method, which adopt a radio-frequency power supply and a high-frequency plasma method of physical vapor deposition (PVD), wherein in a PVD chamber, the radio-frequency power supply is applied to a target material and a wafer respectively, and the Al is filled into the through holes of a minisize semiconductor chip and becomes a conducting material between semiconductor layers. The device and the process method can overcome the defect that the conventional process can only reach over 0.13 micron, and extend the application of the aluminum to a degree that the characteristic line width is less than or equal to 0.1 mum and the depth-to-width ratio (h / CD) is more than or equal to6. The device and the process method reduce the device running temperature, save water, electricity and consumptive materials, greatly improve the utilization rate of production facilities and the wafer yield, can be applied to the conductive through holes between semiconductor integrated circuit chip layers, contact holes, grooves and the like for filling the conductive materials of the aluminumand the like, and also can be used for depositing the aluminum used on metal door circuits of which the line width is less than 30 nanometers. The invention particularly points out that the same method is suitable for all technical materials with low melting point.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the manufacture of VLSI chips, in particular to a device and process method for filling aluminum in nanoscale through-holes by PVD method, specifically using a radio frequency (Radio Frequency, RF) power supply and physical vapor deposition (PVD) high The high-frequency plasma method fills Al into the through holes of small-sized semiconductor chips to become a conductive material between semiconductor layers, which can overcome the defect that the traditional process can only reach 0.13 microns or more.
