Title:
PLASMA CVD PROCESS FOR FORMING BPSG OF LOW-TEMPERATURE FLOW
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2710551
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To enable a BPSG film to flow at low temperatures in a non-oxidizing atmosphere so as to be improved in resistance to defects by a method wherein silane and nitrous oxide are regulated in parameters such as a flow rate, a gas pressure and others in a plasma CVD deposition process, and P2O3 is contained in the BPSG film at a preferable P2O3/P2O5 ratio.
CONSTITUTION: A BPSG film 24 is deposited through a PECVD method in such a manner that the ratio of P2O3 to P2O5 contained in the film is deposited in the range of 0-25%. Then, the BPSG film 24 is subjected to an annealing treatment in a dry nitrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 900°C. The BPSG film 24a is eventually made not to flow in the above annealing treatment. Then, a contact opening 40 is formed in the BPSG film 24a through both photolithography and reactive ion etching. By this setup, a nearly vertical side wall 42a is obtained. Lastly, a wafer 18 is subjected to an annealing treatment in an oxygen atmosphere, and a sharply sloped BPSG layer is formed on the side wall of a contact hole by the flow of a BPSG film.
