【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、シリカ系被膜形成に有用なシリコーン系材料組成物、シリカ系被膜及び半導体装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、IC、LSI等の半導体素子の層間絶縁膜、平坦化膜、保護膜等としてアルコキシシラン又はその部分縮合物の硬化膜が使用されている。これらの材料には、均一な硬化被膜を得るため、硬化前に均一に塗布できるよう適当な流動性を有する必要がある。
【0003】
また、半導体集積回路には基板上に電気回路や電極が形成されるため段差がり、多層配線構造を持つ半導体素子においてはこれらの回路や電極が絶縁層をはさんで多層化されるが絶縁層が下部回路の段差の形をそのまま反映すると上部電気回路を段差のある面に形成することになり配線ショートなどが起こりやすくなる。そこで、絶縁層を平坦に形成する技術が求められる。このような技術上の要求に対していくつかの提案がなされている。
【0004】
例えば特開昭61−29153号公報及び特開昭61−201430号公報には、平坦な膜形成が可能な材料としてシリル化ポリシルセスキオキサンが、特開昭62−230828号公報にはテトラアルコキシシラン、トリアルコキシシラン及びジアルコキシシランの混合物が、特開昭62−290151号公報にはジクロルシラン、トリクロルシラン及びジクロル燐酸からなる共重合体が提案されている。また、特開平1−216543号公報には熱軟化温度と架橋温度が異なるシリコーン樹脂が提案され、さらに特開平1−305525号公報にはラダー型シリコーンオリゴマから形成されたオルガノポリシロキサンが優れた平坦膜を提供できる材料として提案されている。
【0005】
しかし、上記した提案材料及び方法では回路の微細化及び多層化の進んだ超LSIに適用することを考慮した場合、特に平坦化の性能において不十分な場合があり、急速に進む集積化に絶縁膜材料が追従できない現状がある。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
請求項1〜4記載の発明は、流動性に優れ、平坦化効果が良好であり、かつ、クラックが入りにくく、酸化珪素膜やアルミニウム等の基板又は配線材料に対して優れた接着性及び耐熱性を有する膜を形成するためのシリコーン系材料組成物を提供ものである。
請求項5における発明は、このようなシリコーン系材料組成物用いて得られ、膜の均一性、平坦性に優れクラックのないシリカ系被膜を提供するものである。
請求項6における発明は、このようなシリカ系被膜をもちいた半導体装置を提供するものである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、熱硬化前にアモルファス状態にあり、熱硬化後に結晶状態となるシリコーン系材料と、1気圧下の沸点が150〜300℃であり熱硬化前で5質量%以下の高沸点溶剤とを含有するシリコーン系材料組成物を基体表面上に塗布後、硬化させてなるシリカ系被膜の製造方法であって、シリコーン系材料組成物を塗布した後に形成された塗膜をリフローさせることを特徴とするシリカ系被膜の製造方法に関する。本発明は、また、塗膜をリフローさせる際の温度が100〜150℃であるシリカ系被膜の製造方法に関する。本発明は、また、シリコーン系材料が、アルコキシシラン化合物の部分加水分解物を含むものであるシリカ系被膜の製造方法に関する。本発明は、また、アルコキシシラン化合物の部分加水分解物が、熱硬化前には水酸基を1〜20質量%及びアルコキシ基を1〜15質量%含むものであるシリカ系被膜の製造方法に関する。本発明は、また、高沸点溶剤が、n−ノナン、キュメン、ジメチルホルムアミド、アニソール、乳酸エチル、シクロヘキサノン、エチルアミルケトン、セロソルブアセテート、4−メトキシ−4−メチルペンタノン−2、ヘキサノール−1、メトキシブタノール、シクロヘキサノール、フルフラール、五塩化エタン、エチレングリコールモノイソプロピルエーテルアセテート、ジアセトンアルコール、メチルシクロヘキサノン、フルフリルアルオール、メトキシブチルアセテート、ブチルセロソルブ、3−メチル−3−メトキシブタノール、n−デカン、シクロヘキシルアセテート、メチルカーバメート、ジクロルエチルエーテル、テトラヒドロフルフリルアルコール、o−ジクロルベンゼン、プロピレングリコールモノブチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールモノプロピルエーテル、アセト酢酸エチル、スワゾール1500、石炭酸、2−エチルヘキサノール、アニリン、プロピレングリコール、ジエチレングリコールジエチルエーテル、ジメチルスルホキシド、エチレングリコールジアセテート、ベンゾニトリル、デカリン、ブチルセロソルブアセテート、ジメチルアニリン、メチルカルビトール、オクタノール−1、パインオイル、エチレングリコール、2−エチルヘキシルアセテート、安息香酸メチル、ヘキシレングリコール、スワゾール1800、アセトフェノン、カービトール、N−メチル−2−ピロリドン、エチレングリコールジブチルエーテル、フェニルメチルカービノール、ベンジルアルコール、テトラリン、1,3−ブチレングリコール、ニトロベンゼン、タービネオール、イソホロン、メチルベンジルアルコール、カービトールアセテート、アセトアミド、サリチル酸メチル、ブチルカービトール、キノリン、ジエチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコールモノブチルエーテルアセテート、ジエチレングリコールジ−n−ブチルエーテル、トリエチレングリコールモノエチルエーテル及びトリアセチンからなる群より選ばれる少なくとも一種を含むシリカ系被膜の製造方法に関する。本発明は、また、高沸点溶剤の1気圧下の沸点が200〜300℃であるシリカ系被膜の製造方法に関する。本発明は、また、上記シリカ系被膜の製造方法により製造されてなるシリカ系被膜に関する。本発明は、また、塗布面に段差を有する基体に上記シリカ系被膜の製造方法に用いられるシリコーン系材料組成物を塗布して、その後に形成された塗膜を100〜150℃でリフローすることを特徴とする塗膜の平坦化方法に関する。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明のシリコーン系材料は、熱硬化前にアモルファス状態にあるため、流動性がすぐれ、均一な膜を形成することができる。アモルファス状態とはシリコーン系材料構造の50%以上がアモルファス構造であるものの全体を示しており、全体の中に結晶構造を含んでいてもかまわない。同様に、熱硬化後の結晶状態とはシリコーン系材料の構造の50%を超える部分が結晶構造であるものの全体を示しており、全体の中にアモルファス構造を含んでいてもかまわない。
【0009】
このシリコーン系材料としては、良好なアモルファス状態を維持するために、熱硬化前に水酸基は1〜20質量%、アルコキシ基は1〜15質量%含むものが好ましい。これらの官能基が少なすぎる場合、熱硬化前にアモルファス状態を維持することがむずかしい。また、水酸基又はアルコキシ基が多すぎる場合、組成物の安定性低下や硬化したシリコーン系材料の膜特性が低下しやすくなる。
【0010】
本発明において、シリコーン系材料としては、アルコキシシラン化合物の部分加水分解物が好ましい。
また、アルコキシシラン化合物としては、化1〔一般式(I)〕
【化1】
(式中、Rは炭素数1〜4のアルキル基、R′は水素、炭素数1〜4のアルキル基又はアリール基、nは0、1又は2を意味する)
で表される化合物が好ましい。
【0011】
前記一般式(I)で表されるアルコキシシラン化合物は、具体的には以下に示すものがある。
【0012】
【化2】
等のテトラアルコキシシラン。
【0013】
【化3】
等のモノアルキルトリアルコキシシラン(上記において、Phはフェニル基を示す。以下同じ)。
【0014】
【化4】
等のジアルキルジアルコキシシラン。
【0015】
【化5】
等の水素アルコキシシラン。
【0016】
また、アルコキシシラン化合物としては、
【化6】
等を使用することができる。
【0017】
アルコキシシラン化合物としては、トリメチルモノメトキシシラン等のトリアルキルモノアルコキシシラン、トリフェニルモノメトキシシラン等のトリアリールモノアルコキシシラン等を分子量調整のために使用してもよい。
【0018】
アルコキシシラン化合物の部分加水分解物とは、これらのアルコキシシラン化合物を1種又は2種以上併用して、加水分解して製造される。この加水分解反応に際し、多くの場合、重縮合反応が伴う。このとき、触媒としては、塩酸、硫酸、リン酸、硝酸、フッ酸等の無機酸、シュウ酸、マレイン酸、スルホン酸、ギ酸等の有機酸を使用することが好ましく、アンモニア、トリメチルアンモニウムなどの塩基性触媒を用いることもできる。これら触媒は、アルコキシシラン化合物の量に応じて適当量用いられるが、アルコキシシラン化合物1モルに対し0.001〜0.5モルの範囲で用いられることが好ましい。
【0019】
また、上記の加水分解・重縮合は、溶媒中で行うことが好ましい。
また、この反応に際して、水が存在させられる。水の量も適宜決められるが、余り少ない場合や多すぎる場合には塗布液の保存安定性が低下するなどの問題があるので、水の量は、アルコキシシラン化合物1モルに対して0.5〜4モルの範囲とすることが好ましい。
【0020】
以上のようにして得られる加水分解・重縮合生成物の反応液(シラノールオリゴマ液)は、そのままで本発明のシリコーン系材料組成物として使用することができる。また、溶媒を除去後、改めて前記溶媒に溶解してえられるシラノールオリゴマ液をシリコーン系材料組成物としてから使用することができる。
上記の溶媒としては、メチルアルコノール、エチルアルコノール、n−プロピルアルコール、イソプロピルアルコール、ブチルアルコール等のアルコール系、酢酸メチル、酢酸エチル、酢酸プロピル、酢酸ブチル等の酢酸エステル系、エチレングリコールモノメチルアセテート、エチレングリコールジアセテート等のグリコールアセテート系溶媒、N,N−メチル−2ピロリドン等のアミド系溶媒、グリコールエーテル系溶媒等種々の溶媒があげられ、これらは1種または2種以上が用いられる。
【0021】
本発明のシリコーン系材料組成物が熱硬化前に高沸点有機溶剤の含有量が0〜5質量%の場合、高埋込性や高平坦性はさらに向上する。ここで言う高沸点溶剤とは1気圧下の沸点が100℃以上で300℃以下の化合物であり、前記溶媒の一部である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a silicone-based material composition useful for forming a silica-based film, a silica-based film, and a semiconductor device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a cured film of alkoxysilane or a partial condensate thereof has been used as an interlayer insulating film, planarizing film, protective film, etc. of semiconductor elements such as IC and LSI. In order to obtain a uniform cured film, these materials need to have appropriate fluidity so that they can be uniformly applied before curing.
[0003]
In addition, there are steps in the semiconductor integrated circuit because electrical circuits and electrodes are formed on the substrate. In a semiconductor element having a multilayer wiring structure, these circuits and electrodes are multi-layered across an insulating layer. However, if the shape of the step of the lower circuit is reflected as it is, the upper electric circuit is formed on the stepped surface, and a wiring short circuit or the like is likely to occur. Therefore, a technique for forming the insulating layer flat is required. Several proposals have been made for such technical requirements.
[0004]
For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 61-29153 and 61-201430 disclose silylated polysilsesquioxane as a material capable of forming a flat film, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-230828 discloses tetra. As a mixture of alkoxysilane, trialkoxysilane and dialkoxysilane, JP-A-62-290151 proposes a copolymer comprising dichlorosilane, trichlorosilane and dichlorophosphoric acid. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-216543 proposes a silicone resin having a different thermal softening temperature and a crosslinking temperature, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-305525 discloses an excellent flatness of an organopolysiloxane formed from a ladder type silicone oligomer. It has been proposed as a material that can provide a film.
[0005]
However, when considering the application of the proposed material and method to a VLSI with advanced circuit miniaturization and multi-layering, there are cases where the planarization performance is particularly insufficient, and insulation against rapid progressing integration. There is a current situation that the film material cannot follow.
[0006]

[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Since the silicone material of the present invention is in an amorphous state before thermosetting, the fluidity is excellent and a uniform film can be formed. The amorphous state refers to the entire structure in which 50% or more of the silicone-based material structure is an amorphous structure, and the entire structure may include a crystal structure. Similarly, the crystalline state after thermosetting indicates the whole of the structure in which more than 50% of the structure of the silicone material is a crystalline structure, and the whole may include an amorphous structure.
[0009]
In order to maintain a good amorphous state, the silicone-based material preferably contains 1 to 20% by mass of hydroxyl groups and 1 to 15% by mass of alkoxy groups before thermosetting. If these functional groups are too few, it is difficult to maintain an amorphous state before thermosetting. Moreover, when there are too many hydroxyl groups or alkoxy groups, the stability of a composition falls and the film | membrane characteristic of the cured silicone type material tends to fall.
[0010]

Moreover, as an alkoxysilane compound, chemical formula 1 [general formula (I)]

[0018]
The partially hydrolyzed product of the alkoxysilane compound is produced by hydrolyzing these alkoxysilane compounds using one or more of them in combination.

At this time, the catalyst is preferably an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, or hydrofluoric acid, or an organic acid such as oxalic acid, maleic acid, sulfonic acid, or formic acid. A basic catalyst can also be used. These catalysts are used in an appropriate amount depending on the amount of the alkoxysilane compound, but are preferably used in the range of 0.001 to 0.5 mol with respect to 1 mol of the alkoxysilane compound.
[0019]
Moreover, it is preferable to perform said hydrolysis and polycondensation in a solvent.
Also, water is present during this reaction. The amount of water can be determined as appropriate, but if it is too little or too much, there is a problem that the storage stability of the coating solution decreases, so the amount of water is 0.5% relative to 1 mol of the alkoxysilane compound. It is preferable to set it as the range of -4 mol.

After tetramethoxysilane, methyltrimethoxysilane, and dimethyldimethoxysilane were mixed in equimolar amounts, the mixture was dissolved in a large amount of isopropyl alcohol, and water and a small amount of phosphoric acid were added in amounts different from those in Example 1. After stirring, an isopropyl alcohol solution of the silicone material was obtained. This silicone material did not contain hydroxyl groups or alkoxy groups. When an interlayer insulating film for wiring was formed in the same manner as in Example 1, the flatness was 60%, which was inferior. The coating film formed from the isopropyl alcohol solution of the silicone-based material was in a crystalline state before and after curing.
