BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a method for fabricating a semiconductor device including stacked capacitors, and more particularly to a method for fabricating a semiconductor device including stacked capacitors, in which dummy plate electrodes and charge storage electrodes are formed at a region other than a memory cell region, to control a topology resulting from capacitors, thereby allowing fine interconnection lines to be formed after the formation of those capacitors.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] As well known, the recent trend to fabricate a semiconductor device with a high degree of integration inevitably results in a reduced cell size. In order to obtain a desired capacitance in the reduced cell size, such a semiconductor device tends to have a stacked capacitor structure having an increased stack height. Such a semiconductor device also tends to have a highly integrated logic circuit arranged around a memory cell region thereof in order to obtain a high performance. For such a highly integrated logic circuit, it is necessary to use interconnection lines of an increased fineness. This also results in an increase in the stack height of capacitors.

[0005] Due to such an increased stack height resulting from the manufacture of a semiconductor device with a high integration and high performance, there is a severe topology between a memory cell region formed with capacitors and a logic circuit region around the memory cell region, as shown in FIG. 1. In FIG. 1, the reference character “A” denotes the logic circuit region, and the reference character “B” denotes the memory cell region.

[0006] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor device including stacked capacitors formed in accordance with a conventional method. A semiconductor substrate 1 is first prepared, which is formed with a desired logic circuit in a logic circuit region A, and a plurality of transistors, respectively adapted to drive capacitors to be subsequently formed, in a memory cell region B, as shown in FIG. 1. A nitride or other material is then laminated over the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 1, thereby forming a first etch barrier film 11. An oxide is subsequently formed over the first etch barrier film (not shown). The oxide film is then planarized to form a first interlayer insulating film 21. The reference numeral “1” denotes wells of a first conductivity type, for example, an n-type, “2” wells of a second conductivity type, for example, a p-type, “3” an element isolation insulating film, “4” diffusion regions adapted to be used as source electrodes 4a or drain electrodes 4b, “5” a gate oxide film, “6” gate electrodes, and “7” a first intermediate insulating film.

[0007] The first interlayer insulating film 21 and first etch barrier film 11 are then partially removed from the memory cell region B, thereby forming first contact holes through which drain electrodes 4b formed in the memory cell region B are exposed, respectively. Thereafter, a conductive material such as polysilicon is completely filled in the first contact holes. The conductive material remaining on the first interlayer insulating film 21 is then removed using an etchback process. Thus, first contact plugs 31 are formed. The first contact plugs 31, which are arranged at the outermost portion of the memory cell region B adjacent to the logic circuit region A, are dummy plugs. These contact plugs 31, that is, the dummy plugs, will be electrically connected to dummy charge storage electrodes in a subsequent processing step, respectively. Source electrodes 4a formed in the memory cell region B may also be exposed when the drain electrodes 4b are exposed, in order to form contact plugs on those source electrodes 4a. In this case, bit line contacts may be subsequently formed on the contact plugs of the source electrodes 4a. Subsequently, an oxide or other appropriate material is then laminated over the entire upper surface of the resulting structure formed with the contact plugs 31, thereby forming a second interlayer insulating film 22.

[0008] Thereafter, the second interlayer insulating film 22, first interlayer insulating film 21, and first etch barrier film 11 are partially removed in a sequential fashion, thereby forming second contact holes through which the source electrodes 4a, in the memory cell region B, to be connected with bit lines in a subsequent processing step, active regions 4 defined in the logic circuit region A to be connected with first interconnection lines, and gate electrodes are exposed. In the case in which contact plugs are also formed on the source electrodes 4a at the processing step of FIG. 1, the second contact holes associated with the bit lines are formed on those contact plugs.

[0009] Thereafter, a conductive material is formed over the resulting structure to form a first conductive layer 41 covering the upper surface of the second interlayer insulating film 22 while completely filling the second contact holes. An insulating material is then laminated over the first conductive layer 41, thereby forming a second intermediate insulating film 25. This first conductive layer 41 will be subsequently patterned so that it is used as interconnection lines in the logic circuit region A while being used as bit lines in the memory cell region B.

[0010] The second intermediate insulating film 25, first conductive layer 41, second interlayer insulating film 22 are then patterned to form first interconnection lines 41a and bit lines 41b. In accordance with the pattering of the second intermediate insulating film 22 at this processing step, respective upper surfaces of the first contact plugs 31 may be exposed. Alternatively, the second interlayer insulating film 22 may be partially left in a small thickness.

[0011] A nitride film or other appropriate material film is subsequently laminated over the entire upper surface of the resulting structure, in which the first contact plugs 31 are exposed, thereby forming a second etch barrier film 12. An oxide film is then laminated over the second etch barrier film 12. Then, the oxide film is planarized using a CMP process, thereby forming a third interlayer insulating film 23.

[0012] Thereafter, contacts are then formed at the first contact plugs 31 respectively disposed on the drain electrodes 4a to which capacitors are to be connected. The formation of the contacts is achieved by etching the third etch barrier film 130 using a contact mask as an etch barrier, etching the third interlayer insulating film 23 using the contact mask and second etch barrier film 12 as an etch mask, and then etching the second etch barrier film 12. Thereafter, a charge storage electrode material is formed over the upper surface of the resulting structure.

[0013] The charge storage electrode material is then patterned using a charge storage electrode mask, thereby forming charge storage electrodes Thereafter, the formation of a capacitor dielectric film 45 and a conductive layer 47 adapted to form plate electrodes is carried out.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 1, in the semiconductor device, a step is defined between the memory cell region B formed with capacitors and the logic circuit region A formed with a logic circuit due to an increased stack height of the capacitor structure. Due to such a step or topology, it is impossible to form an accurate pattern in the logic circuit region A or memory cell region B. This is because when a particular layer formed on the capacitor structure is patterned in accordance with a photolithography process, there is a focus depth difference between exposure light onto the logic circuit region A and exposure light onto the memory cell region B. As a result, it is very difficult to form fine metal lines.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] The above objects, and other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent after a reading of the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:

[0019] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a semiconductor device including stacked capacitors fabricated in accordance with a conventional method; and

[0020] FIGS. 2a to 2h are cross-sectional views respectively illustrating sequential processing steps of a method for fabricating a semiconductor device including stacked capacitors in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] Now, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail, in conjunction with the annexed drawings.

[0022] The important technical idea of the present invention is to avoid a severe topology from being formed between a memory cell region and a logic circuit region around the memory cell region due to an increased stack height of stacked capacitors, thereby achieving a fineness of interconnection lines. This technical idea realizes by forming dummy plate electrodes and charge storage electrodes at the logic circuit region during the formation of capacitors in the memory cell region.

[0023] For an easy and best understanding of the present invention, layers having the same function are denoted by the same reference numeral. For forming and patterning processes for each layer, those are typically used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. Accordingly, no description will be made in conjunction with those processes.

[0024] FIGS. 2a to 2h are cross-sectional views respectively illustrating sequential processing steps of a method for fabricating a semiconductor device including stacked capacitors in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] In accordance with this embodiment, a semiconductor substrate 100 is first prepared, which is formed with a desired logic circuit in a logic circuit region A, and a plurality of transistors, respectively adapted to drive capacitors to be subsequently formed, in a memory cell region B, as shown in FIG. 2a. A nitride or other material is then laminated over the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 100, thereby forming a first etch barrier film 110. An oxide is subsequently formed over the first etch barrier film 110. The oxide film is then planarized to form a first interlayer insulating film 210. In FIG. 2a, the reference numeral “10” denotes wells of a first conductivity type, for example, an n-type, “20” wells of a second conductivity type, for example, a p-type, “30” an element isolation insulating film, “40” diffusion regions adapted to be used as source electrodes 40a or drain electrodes 40b, “50” a gate oxide film, “60” gate electrodes, and “70” a first intermediate insulating film.

[0026] Referring to FIG. 2b, the first interlayer insulating film 210 and first etch barrier film 110 are then partially removed from the memory cell region B, thereby forming first contact holes through which drain electrodes 40b formed in the memory cell region B are exposed, respectively. Thereafter, a conductive material such as polysilicon is completely filled in the first contact holes. The conductive material remaining on the first interlayer insulating film 210 is then removed using an etchback process. Thus, first contact plugs 310 are formed. The first contact plugs 310, which are arranged at the outermost portion of the memory cell region B adjacent to the logic circuit region A, are dummy plugs. These contact plugs 310, that is, the dummy plugs, will be electrically connected to dummy charge storage electrodes in a subsequent processing step, respectively. Source electrodes 40a formed in the memory cell region B may also be exposed when the drain electrodes 40b are exposed, in order to form contact plugs on those source electrodes 40a. In this case, bit line contacts may be subsequently formed on the contact plugs of the source electrodes 40a. Subsequently, an oxide or other appropriate material is then laminated over the entire upper surface of the resulting structure formed with the contact plugs 310, thereby forming a second interlayer insulating film 220.

[0027] Referring to FIG. 2c, the second interlayer insulating film 220, first interlayer insulating film 210, and first etch barrier film 110 are partially removed in a sequential fashion, thereby forming second contact holes through which the source electrodes 40a, in the memory cell region B, to be connected with bit lines in a subsequent processing step, active regions 40 defined in the logic circuit region A to be connected with first interconnection lines, and gate electrodes are exposed. In the case in which contact plugs are also formed on the source electrodes 40a at the processing step of FIG. 2b, the second contact holes associated with the bit lines are formed on those contact plugs.

[0028] Thereafter, a conductive material is formed over the resulting structure to form a first conductive layer 410 covering the upper surface of the second interlayer insulating film 220 while completely filling the second contact holes. An insulating material is then laminated over the first conductive layer 410, thereby forming a second intermediate insulating film 75. This first conductive layer 410 will be subsequently patterned so that it is used as interconnection lines in the logic circuit region A while being used as bit lines in the memory cell region B.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 2d, the second intermediate insulating film 75, first conductive layer 410, second interlayer insulating film 220 are then patterned to form first interconnection lines 410a and bit lines 410b. In accordance with the pattering of the second intermediate insulating film 220 at this processing step, respective upper surfaces of the first contact plugs 310 may be exposed. Alternatively, the second interlayer insulating film 220 may be partially left in a small thickness.

[0030] A nitride film or other appropriate material film is subsequently laminated over the entire upper surface of the resulting structure, in which the first contact plugs 310 are exposed, thereby forming a second etch barrier film 120. An oxide film is then laminated over the second etch barrier film 120. Then, the oxide film is planarized using a CMP process, thereby forming a third interlayer insulating film 230.

[0031] Referring to FIG. 2e, contact holes are then formed at the first interconnection lines 410a in the logic circuit region A. Over the upper surface of the resulting structure, a conductive material is subsequently formed to a desired thickness so as to provide a planarized upper surface. This conductive material layer is then etched back, thereby forming second contact plugs 310a connected to the first interconnection lines 410a. Thereafter, a third etch barrier film 130 is formed over the upper surface of the resulting structure. Preferably, the third etch barrier film 130 has a multilayered Ti/TiN/W (Titanium/Titanium Nitride/Tungsten) structure. The etchback process of the conductive material layer may be achieved using etching gas or a CMP process. The third etch barrier film 130 serves to prevent the second contact plug from being damaged during a subsequent processing step of forming capacitors.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 2f, contacts are then formed at the first contact plugs 310 respectively disposed on the drain electrodes 40a to which capacitors are to be connected. The formation of the contacts is achieved by etching the third etch barrier film 130 using a contact mask as an etch barrier, etching the third interlayer insulating film 230 using the contact mask and second etch barrier film 120 as an etch mask, and then etching the second etch barrier film 120. Thereafter, a charge storage electrode material is formed over the upper surface of the resulting structure.

[0033] The charge storage electrode material is then patterned using a charge storage electrode mask, thereby forming charge storage electrodes 420a and dummy charge storage electrodes 420b. The charge storage electrodes 420a are formed in such a fashion that one charge storage electrode is provided for each memory cell in the memory cell region B, and that they are separated from one another. On the other hand, the dummy charge storage electrodes 420b are formed at a desired portion in the logic circuit region A. Thereafter, the formation of a capacitor dielectric film 425 and a conductive layer 427 adapted to form plate electrodes is carried out.

[0034] The charge storage electrodes 420a and plate electrode conductive layer 427 may be made of silicon. Prior to the formation of the capacitor dielectric film 425, the charge storage electrodes 420a may be subjected to a surface treatment so that it has a hemispherical grain structure at its upper surface.

[0035] Where the capacitor dielectric film 425 is made of a ferroelectric, the charge storage electrodes 420a and plate electrode conductive layer 427 may be made of platinum.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 2g, the plate electrode conductive layer 427 is then patterned in accordance with an etching process using a plate electrode mask (not shown), thereby forming plate electrodes 427a and dummy plate electrodes 427b. The plate electrodes 427a are disposed throughout the memory cell region B whereas the dummy plate electrodes 427b are disposed at portions of the logic circuit region A each defined between neighboring second contact plugs 310a while having a width smaller than that of those region portions. The etching of the dielectric film 425 and charge storage electrode conductive layer 427a may be carried out in the procedure of etching the plate electrode conductive layer 427a. Thereafter, a fourth interlayer insulating film 240 is formed over the resulting structure in a planarized fashion.

[0037] The fourth interlayer insulating film 240 may be made of an oxide film. The planarization of the fourth interlayer insulating film 240 may be achieved by depositing an insulating film to a desired thickness, and then carrying out the insulating film a CMP process.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 2h, contacts are then formed at the second contact plugs 310a formed on the first interconnection lines 410a. The formation of the contacts may be achieved by etching the fourth interlayer insulating film 240 using a contact mask and the third etch barrier film 130 as an etch barrier, and then etching the third etch barrier film 130. Thereafter, second interconnection lines 430a are formed.

[0039] The formation of the second interconnection lines 430a is achieved by depositing a conductive material over the upper surface of the structure obtained after the formation of the contacts at the second contact plugs 310a, and etching the conductive material using a second connection interconnection mask. Alternatively, the second interconnection lines 430a may be formed in accordance with another method. In this case, the fourth interlayer insulating film 240 is formed to have a thickness increased by the thickness of the second interconnection lines 430a. After the formation of the contacts at the second contact plugs 310a, the fourth interlayer insulating film 240 is etched up to a desired depth at regions where the second interconnection lines 430a are to be arranged, thereby forming contact grooves. A conductive material is then deposited to bury the contact grooves. The conductive material is subsequently etched back to form the second interconnection lines 430a.

[0040] As apparent from the above description, the present invention provides a method for fabricating a semiconductor device including stacked capacitors, in which dummy plate electrodes and dummy charge storage electrodes are formed at a region other than a memory cell region, to control a topology resulting from capacitors, thereby allowing fine interconnection lines to be formed.
