      • Investigation of the Physical Properties of Plasma Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposited Silicon Nitride as Etch Stopper

        <P>Correlations between physical properties linking film quality with wet etch rate (WER), one of the leading figures of merit, in plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) grown silicon nitride (SiN<SUB><I>x</I></SUB>) films remain largely unresearched. Achieving a low WER of a SiN<SUB><I>x</I></SUB> film is especially significant in its use as an etch stopper for technology beyond 7 nm node semiconductor processing. Herein, we explore the correlation between the hydrogen concentration, hydrogen bonding states, bulk film density, residual impurity concentration, and the WERs of PEALD SiN<SUB><I>x</I></SUB> using Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray reflectivity, and spectroscopic ellipsometry, etc. PEALD SiN<SUB><I>x</I></SUB> films for this study were deposited using hexachlorodisilane and hollow cathode plasma source under a range of process temperatures (270-360 °C) and plasma gas compositions (N<SUB>2</SUB>/NH<SUB>3</SUB> or Ar/NH<SUB>3</SUB>) to understand the influence of hydrogen concentration, hydrogen bonding states, bulk film density, and residual impurity concentration on the WER. Varying hydrogen concentration and differences in the hydrogen bonding states resulted in different bulk film densities and, accordingly, a variation in WER. We observe a linear relationship between hydrogen bonding concentration and WER as well as a reciprocal relationship between bulk film density and WER. Analogous to the PECVD SiN<SUB><I>x</I></SUB> processes, a reduction in hydrogen bonding concentration arises from either (1) thermal activation or (2) plasma excited species. However, unlike the case with silane (SiH<SUB>4</SUB>)-based PECVD SiN<SUB><I>x</I></SUB>, PEALD SiN<SUB><I>x</I></SUB> WERs are affected by residual impurities of Si precursors (i.e., chlorine impurity). Thus, possible wet etching mechanisms in HF in which the WER is affected by hydrogen bonding states or residual impurities are proposed. The shifts of amine basicity in SiN<SUB><I>x</I></SUB> due to different hydrogen bonding states and the changes in Si electrophilicity due to Cl impurity content are suggested as the main mechanisms that influence WER in the PEALD processes.</P> [FIG OMISSION]</BR>
