Abstract

Silicon trench process for bulk fin field effect transistor (finFET) is suggested without using chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) that cause contamination problems with chemical stuff. This process uses thickness difference of photo resistor spin coating and silicon nitride sacrificial layer. Planarization of silicon oxide and silicon trench formation can be performed with etching processes. In this work 50 nm silicon trench is fabricated with AZ 1512 photo resistor and process results are introduced.

소자의 집적화에 필수적인 소자 분리공정에서 화학약품의 오염 문제등을 발생시키는 화학적 기계연마기술(CMP) 공정을 사용하지 않고 벌크 finFET(fin field effect transistor) 의 트랜치 구조를 형성할 수 있는 공정에 대하여 제안하였다. 사진 감광막 도포시 발생하는 두께차이와 희생층으로 사용되는 실리콘 질화막을 사용하면 에칭 공정만을 사용하여 상대적으로 표면 위로 돌출된 부분의 실리콘 산화막 층을 에칭하는 것은 물론 finFET 의 채널로 사용되는 실리콘 트랜치 구조를 한번에 형성할 수 있는 특징을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 AZ1512 사진 감광막을 사용하여 50 나노미터급 실리콘 트랜치 구조를 형성하는 공정을 수행하였으며 그 결과를 소개한다.
