摘要

As the contact size is shrunk, there exists limitation of wet preclean for contact metallization. The plasma preclean is intended to remove the native oxide at the contact bottom and thus reduce contact resistance. A series of experiments of contact plasma preclean were conducted on non-volatile memory contact. Plasma clean of dual-frequency method were employed to carry out this study. The experimental conditions were RF/bias powers and preclean thickness removal with respect to thermal oxide. The contact resistance was increased as DC bias and preclean thickness were increased. In addition, the wafers with plasma preclean greater than 200A were out of electrical specification for two plasma power conditions of 150W/300W and 300W/300W. The silicon loss was characterized with SEM. Serious silicon loss was observed on the wafer with preclean of high DC bias and high preclean thickness as compared with those without preclean. More silicon loss resulted in higher resistance of contact chain. Low DC bias power and optimized preclean thickness removal should be used to optimize the plasma preclean process for eliminating plasma damage.
