Method of forming multiple metal layers in semiconductor devices
The present invention relates to a method for forming a multi-metal layer of a semiconductor device capable of forming a tungsten nitride layer on a tungsten layer on a silicon substrate subjected to a predetermined process of the present invention to suppress the formation of a compound by diffusion of titanium and a metal layer.
In general, as the semiconductor devices are highly integrated, the size of the contact hole for forming the metal layer is reduced, and the formation of metal wiring using aluminum does not secure sufficient step coverage for the fabrication of reliable devices. Therefore, wiring formation and contact hole filling technology using tungsten has been actively studied and applied to many device fabrication. When forming the wiring using tungsten (W), the first metal layer is formed of tungsten, and the second metal layer or more uses a method of using wetting titanium and aluminum. In this case, the WAl 12 , WAl 5 titanium (Ti) -tungsten (W) -aluminum (Al) compound is formed by the reaction of tungsten, titanium, and aluminum in the subsequent heat treatment in the via where the first metal layer and the second metal layer are contacted. Increasing via resistance creates a problem of deteriorating device characteristics.
Therefore, in the present invention, a tungsten film is deposited by using a low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) method in tungsten deposition. by reacting 2 or NH 3 and WF 6 to provide a multi-metal layer forming a semiconductor device that can obtain a stable via resistance by depositing thermally chemically stable tungsten nitride (WNx) film on the tungsten layer to that end.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of forming a multi-metal layer, the method comprising: forming a contact hole by forming an insulating film on a silicon substrate on which a junction region is formed through a predetermined process, and then etching the insulating layer to expose the junction region; Forming a barrier metal layer on the entire upper surface of the silicon substrate, and then forming a first metal layer on the barrier metal layer, and sequentially forming a tungsten nitride layer and a first antireflective coating layer on the first metal layer. And forming a first metal layer pattern through an exposure and etching process, forming an interlayer insulating film on the entire upper surface of the silicon substrate, and then exposing the tungsten nitride layer formed on the first metal layer pattern to expose the interlayer insulating film and the first metal layer pattern. Sequentially etching the anti-reflective coating layer to form via holes, and remaining tungs in the via holes. Removing the nitride layer and the native oxide film by an RF etching process, forming a wetting film on the entire upper surface of the silicon substrate, and subsequently forming a second metal layer and a second anti-reflective coating film, and an exposure and etching process Forming a second metal layer pattern through.

The barrier metal layer 4 is made of titanium and titanium nitride layer, wherein the titanium layer is formed to a thickness of 3000 to 5000Å, the titanium nitride layer is formed to a thickness of 500 to 1000Å. The first metal layer 5 is made of tungsten (W) having a thickness of 3000 to 5000 kPa, wherein the first metal layer is 420 to 480 ° C while 10 to 100 sccm of WF 6 and 1000 to 1800 sccm of H 2 are supplied into the reactor. At a temperature of and a pressure of 1 to 90 Torr.

The loss of the tungsten nitride layer 6 generated in the process of removing the natural oxide film is performed by RF etching so that the tungsten nitride layer 6 has a thickness of 10 to 300 kPa.
