Method for manufacturing semiconductor device
[13] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. In particular, a diffusion barrier is formed between a dielectric film and an upper or lower electrode in a capacitor structure of a semiconductor device to ensure the leakage current and capacitance of the capacitor. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device that can contribute to process yield improvement and device characteristics.
[14] As the degree of integration of semiconductor devices increases, a capacitor structure for applying a high dielectric film is required. Accordingly, a dielectric film such as a metal organic compound or a metal oxide has been applied or studied.
[15] FIG. 1 illustrates one of a capacitor having a metal insulator silicon (MIS) and a metal insulator metal (MIM) structure. As shown in FIG. 1, a tantalum oxide film (Ta 2 O 5 ) is used as the insulating film 11, and FIG. 3 illustrates a problem that occurs when TiN, which is a metal, is used as the electrode 13.
[16] A chemical reaction occurs between two layers of the insulating layer 11 and the upper electrode or the lower electrode 13 to generate a thermal budget. In the illustrated structure, TiOx layers 15 and 17 are formed between the tantalum oxide film Ta 2 O 5 and the upper electrode 13.
[17] That is, when metal organic or metal oxide is used as the dielectric film, the coating property of the dielectric film itself becomes poor in a capacitor having a three-dimensional geometric structure, and in this case, the device may fail due to deterioration of device characteristics. Therefore, there is a need for a technique of preventing a deterioration of characteristics by suppressing a reaction between the dielectric film and the upper and lower electrodes.
[18] Therefore, the present invention is to solve the above problems, the present invention is to form a diffusion barrier between the capacitor dielectric layer and the upper and lower electrodes, using a three-phase material having excellent diffusion prevention characteristics as the diffusion barrier or diffusion suppression in the existing diffusion barrier It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of improving the yield of a semiconductor device and improving the reliability of the device by guaranteeing leakage current and capacitance of the capacitor by stuffing the material.
