Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJs) are an integral part of Magnetic Random Access Memories (MRAMs). The fabrication process of the MTJ structure may involve various process operations including metal and dielectric deposition, photolithography, etching operations, and the like. The MTJ stack may be interposed between back end of line (BEOL) interconnect layers and bilaterally separated by a spacer stack formed on sidewalls of each MTJ structure. The spacer stack functions to electrically isolate the MTJ stacks from each other. As MRAM cells shrink from one technology generation (node) to the next, the spacing (e.g., spacing) between adjacent MTJ structures decreases. Therefore, a thinner spacer stack is needed to fill the space between the MTJ structures. Maintaining electrical isolation of MTJ structures in an MRAM cell can be challenging for thinner spacer stacks (e.g., spacer stacks having thicknesses below about 30 nm) when the spacing between the MTJ structures is reduced (e.g., below 92 nm).
Embodiments described herein relate to an exemplary manufacturing method describing formation of a spacer stack. In some embodiments, the thickness of the spacer stack between MTJ structures is below about 30nm (e.g., about 25nm) and the spacer stack pitch is between about 80nm and about 92 nm. In some embodiments, the spacer stack may include a metal compound layer having improved dielectric properties (e.g., electrical isolation properties). The metal compound layer may include aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, titanium oxide, titanium nitride, ruthenium oxide, or any other suitable material, and may have a thickness of less than about 5nm (e.g., about 3 nm). A metal compound layer may be interposed between layers of silicon nitride, silicon carbonitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxycarbide, silicon oxide, or combinations thereof to form a spacer stack on each sidewall surface of the MTJ structure. In some embodiments, the metal compound layer is deposited by thermal atomic layer deposition or plasma assisted atomic layer deposition. According to some embodiments, the spacer stack having the metal compound layer exhibits improved electrical isolation characteristics compared to the spacer stack without the metal compound layer. Thus, the spacer stack with the metal compound layer may be more compact (e.g., thinner).

According to some embodiments, the anisotropic etch-back process may include an ion beam etching process with inductively coupled plasma (RIE-ICP) or a Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) process. In some embodiments, the ion beam etching process may use an ion beam that selectively targets the region where etching is to be performed. The ion beam may be generated from a helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), or xenon (Xe) plasma. By way of example and not limitation, the energy of the ion beam during the etching process may be between about 100eV and about 1200 eV. Alternatively, the RIE-ICP process may use an etchant such as tetrafluoromethane (CF)4) Difluoromethane (CH)2F2) Chlorine (Cl)2) Ar, He, organic gases or combinations thereof.
With reference to fig. 1, the
For the
The above-described process sequence produces an aluminum nitride film having a thickness in the range of about a thickness depending on the process conditions (e.g., process pressure, temperature, gas and precursor flow, etc.)To about
Within the range of (1). Thus, the deposition process sequence may be repeated as necessary until a desired thickness of the aluminum nitride metal compound layer is achieved (e.g., at aboutAnd the combinationIn between).In some embodiments, post-treatment may be used to densify the deposited aluminum nitride; for example by removing hydrogen. For example, Radio Frequency (RF) NH3The plasma may be used to remove hydrogen from the aluminum nitride layer. According to some embodiments, the RF power applied to the plasma may be in the range of about 100 watts to about 500 watts. However, the aforementioned RF power ranges should not be considered limiting, and other ranges may be used. By way of example and not limitation, the post-treatment may last up to one minute and may be performed in situ using the deposition process described above. The nitrogen to aluminum ratio (N/Al) of the resulting aluminum nitride layer may be between about 0.67 and about 2.3. Thus, the aluminum atomic percent in the aluminum nitride layer may be from about 40 to about 70 and the nitrogen atomic percent from about 30 to about 60, as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or other suitable method. Since the aluminum source is TMA (e.g., an organometallic precursor), trace amounts of residual carbon may be found in the aluminum nitride layer. For example, the atomic percent of carbon in the aluminum nitride layer may be in a range of about 1 to about 2. In some embodiments, the treated aluminum nitride can have a dielectric constant of about 7 to about 8 and a density of about 2g/cm when measured by X-ray reflectometry3To about 3g/cm3Within the range of (1). Due to their high dielectric constantElectrical constants and densities, a thin aluminum nitride layer (e.g., less than 50 angstroms) may provide improved electrical isolation compared to layers having lower dielectric constants (e.g., silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbonitride, etc.).
The deposition of the aluminum oxide metal compound layer is very similar to the process sequence described above for aluminum nitride. However, in the case of alumina deposition, TMA purged NH3The exposure may be performed with 1-butanol (C)4H9OH) in which the partially decomposed TMA precursor may react with 1-butanol to form aluminum-oxygen bonds and eventually alumina. Similarly to the case of aluminum nitride, RF NH is used3Post-treatment of the plasma may be used to densify the deposited aluminum oxide metal compound layer by removing hydrogen. According to some embodiments, the RF power applied to the plasma may be in the range of about 100 watts to about 500 watts. The aluminum nitride film obtained may have an aluminum to oxygen ratio (Al/O) of about 1.2 to about 2.3. Further, the atomic percent of aluminum may be between about 30 and about 45 and the atomic percent of nitrogen may be between about 55 and about 70 as measured by XPS. By way of example and not limitation, the atomic percent of hydrogen in the plasma treated aluminum oxide film may be in the range of 0 to about 3 as measured by Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS). In some embodiments, the aluminum oxide metal compound layer formed may have a dielectric constant between about 7 and about 9.5 and a density of about 3g/cm as measured by X-ray reflectometry3To about 3.53g/cm3Within the range of (1). Due to their high dielectric constant and density, thin aluminum oxide layers (e.g., less than 50 angstroms) may provide improved electrical isolation compared to layers having lower dielectric constants such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbonitride, and the like.

In some embodiments, a spacer stack having a metal compound layer (such as aluminum nitride or aluminum oxide) may exhibit improved dielectric properties compared to a spacer stack limited to a silicon-based layer such as silicon nitride, silicon carbonitride, silicon oxide, carbon-doped silicon oxide, or silicon oxycarbonitride. Thus, the spacer stack with the metal compound layer can be compact (e.g., having less than about
Thickness of) and is suitable for having tight spacing between MTJ structures(e.g., between about 80nm and about 92 nm). In addition, the spacer stack having the metal compound layer exhibits improved etching characteristics. For example, a spacer stack having a metal compound layer may exhibit improved etch resistance and selectivity (e.g., between about 2: 1 and about 10: 1). As a result, the spacer stack having the metal compound layer is not easily damaged by etching during the subsequent etch-back process.The present disclosure relates to an exemplary manufacturing method for forming a spacer stack having a metal compound layer therein. In some embodiments, the metal layer may improve electrical isolation between adjacent MTJ structures. By way of example and not limitation, the spacer stack can include a 5nm or less (e.g., about 3nm) metal compound layer, which can include aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, titanium oxide, titanium nitride, ruthenium oxide, or any other suitable material. A metal compound layer may be interposed between layers of silicon nitride, silicon carbonitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxycarbonitride, silicon oxide, or combinations thereof to form a spacer stack on each sidewall surface of the MTJ structure. In some embodiments, the metal compound layer may be conformally deposited using a thermal atomic layer deposition or a plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition process. According to some embodiments, the spacer stack having the metal compound layer exhibits improved electrical isolation characteristics, and thus may be more compact (e.g., thinner) than the spacer stack without the metal compound layer.
