Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes depositing an O 3 -TEOS oxide film having a good flow-like property under a high adhesive force in order to prevent degradation in the characteristic of the surface of a lower insulating film made of a PE-TEOS oxide film and generation of defect due to the topology difference. Therefore, the disclosed method can improve the electrical characteristic of a semiconductor device and the manufacturing yield.

Claims (25)

1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising:

forming a insulating film on a semiconductor substrate;

forming a conductive layer pattern on the insulating film leaving a portion of the insulating film exposed;

forming an O 3 -TEOS oxide film on the conductive layer pattern and the insulating film; and

wherein said O 3 -TEOS oxide film is deposited in thickness ranging from about 2500 to about 5000 Å and at a temperature ranging from abort 500 to 550° C.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said insulating film is a PE-TEOS oxide film.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a density of O 3 ranges from about 135 to about 180 g/m 3 during the deposition of said O 3 -TEOS oxide film.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising performing an annealing process after the step of forming said O 3 -TEOS oxide film.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said annealing process is performed at a temperature ranging from about 750 to about 1000° C.

6. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising:

forming a PE-TEOS oxide film on a semiconductor substrate in which transistors and bit lines are formed, the transistors being formed in a cell region and in a peripheral circuit region;

forming capacitors on the PE-TEOS oxide film of the cell region; and

forming an O 3 -TEOS oxide film on the entire structure including the capacitors and the PE-TEOS oxide film,

wherein said O 3 -TEOS oxide film is deposited in thickness ranging from about 2500 to about 5000 Å at a temperature ranging from abort 500 to 550° C.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the density of O 3 ranges from about 135 to about 180 g/m 3 during the deposition of said O 3 -TEOS oxide film.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising performing an annealing process after the step of forming said O 3 -TEOS oxide film.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said annealing process is performed at a temperature ranging from about 750 to about 1000° C.

10. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising:

forming a insulating film on a semiconductor substrate;

forming a conductive layer pattern on the insulating film leaving a portion of the insulating film exposed;

forming an O 3 -TEOS oxide film on the conductive layer pattern and the exposed portion of the insulating film; wherein said O 3 -TEOS oxide film is deposited in thickness ranging from about 2500 to about 5000 Å and at a temperature ranging from about 500 to about 550° C.; and

wherein a density of O 3 ranges from about 135 to about 180 g/m 3 during the deposition of said O 3 -TEOS oxide film.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein said insulating film is a PE-TEOS oxide film.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising performing an annealing process after the step of forming said O 3 -TEOS oxide film.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12 , wherein said annealing process is performed at a temperature ranging from about 750 to about 1000° C.
