Technical field
The present invention relates to the ic manufacturing technology field, relate in particular to the lithographic method of a kind of Mo base/TaN metal gate stack structure.
Background technology
Along with after the characteristic size of semiconductor device enters into the 45nm technology node; In order to reduce the grid tunnelling current; Reduce the power consumption of device; And eliminate thoroughly that B penetrates the integrity problem that causes in depletion of polysilicon effect and the P type metal-oxide semiconductor fieldeffect transistor (PMOSFET), and alleviate the fermi level pinning effect, adopt high-k (K)/metal gate material to replace traditional SiO
2/ poly (polysilicon) structure has become inevitable choice.The Mo metal gate is owing to have low resistivity (5 * 10
-6Ω .cm), the Mo metal gate in high fusing point (greater than 2600 ℃) and (100) crystal orientation shows near the work function the 5eV, makes Mo Base Metal grid become the strong candidate of P pipe metal gate material.
In order to reduce the difficulty of etching, increase the complexity of original CMOS technology with exceeding, generally adopt the laminated construction (being the laminated construction of Si-gate/metal gate) of plug-in type metal gate to replace the simple metal gate electrode to realize the integrated of high K, metal gate material.But since directly on Mo Base Metal grid the pyroprocess during the deposit Si-gate cause Mo Base Metal grid and Si-gate to react, the very high TaN barrier layer of adding one deck thermal stability improves thermal stability between Mo Base Metal grid and Si-gate.In addition; Adopt the bimetal gate Integrated Solution of deposit-corrosion-deposit again to realize high K; When the bimetal gate material is integrated, if when adopting Mo Base Metal grid, TaN metal gate respectively as the metal gate material of P pipe and N pipe, the alternative Mo Base Metal grid of removing first deposit; And then deposit TaN metal gate; So just form the N pipe and have the TaN metal gate, the P pipe has the structure of Mo base/TaN lamination metal grid, therefore in follow-up metal gate etching process, also will run into the etching of Mo base/TaN metal gate stack structure.It is thus clear that; No matter be in order to improve the thermal stability between Mo Base Metal grid and Si-gate or from adopting the bimetal gate Integrated Solution angle of deposit of deposit-corrosion-again, the etching that solves Mo base/TaN metal gate stack structure is to realize that P manages the integrated strong guarantees of Mo Base Metal grid.
