    • A method for forming a quaternary alloy film of Co—W—P—Au for use as a diffusion barrier layer on a copper interconnect in a semiconductor structure and devices formed incorporating such film are disclosed. In the method, a substrate that has copper conductive regions on top is first pre-treated by two separate pre-treatment steps. In the first step, the substrate is immersed in a H2SO4 rinsing solution and next in a solution containing palladium ions for a length of time sufficient for the ions to deposit on the surface of the copper conductive regions. The substrate is then immersed in a solution that contains at least 15 gr/l sodium citrate or EDTA for removing excess palladium ions from the surface of the copper conductive regions. After the pre-treated substrate is rinsed in a first rinsing step by distilled water, the substrate is electroless plated a Co—W—P film on the surfaces of the copper conductive regions in a first plating solution that contains cobalt ions, tungstate ions, citrate ions and a reducing agent. After the substrate coated with the Co—W—P film is rinsed in a second rinsing step by distilled water, the substrate is immersed in a second electroless plating solution for depositing a Au layer on top of the Co—W—P film. The present invention novel quaternary alloy film can be used as an effective diffusion barrier layer between a copper interconnect and silicon substrate or SiO2 dielectric layers.
    • 公开了一种用于在半导体结构中的铜互连上用作扩散阻挡层的Co-W-P-Au的四元合金膜的形成方法和包含这种膜的器件。 在该方法中,首先通过两个单独的预处理步骤对具有铜导电区域的基板进行预处理。 在第一步骤中,将衬底浸入H 2 SO 4冲洗溶液中,接着在含有钯离子的溶液中浸渍一段足以使离子沉积在铜导电区域表面上的时间。 然后将基底浸入含有至少15g / l柠檬酸钠或EDTA的溶液中,以从铜导电区域的表面除去过量的钯离子。 在通过蒸馏水在第一冲洗步骤中冲洗预处理的基材之后,在包含钴离子,钨酸根离子,柠檬酸根离子的第一电镀液中,在铜导电区域的表面上化学镀Co-WP膜 和还原剂。 在用Co-W-P膜涂布的基材在第二次漂洗步骤中用蒸馏水冲洗后,将基板浸渍在Co-W-P膜顶部沉积Au层的第二无电镀液中。 本发明的新型四元合金膜可以用作铜互连和硅衬底或SiO 2电介质层之间的有效扩散阻挡层。

    • The idea of the invention is to coat the free surface of patterned Cu conducting lines in on-chip interconnections (BEOL) wiring by a 1-20 nm thick metal layer prior to deposition of the interlevel dielectric. This coating is sufficiently thin so as to obviate the need for additional planarization by polishing, while providing protection against oxidation and surface, or interface, diffusion of Cu which has been identified by the inventors as the leading contributor to metal line failure by electromigration and thermal stress voiding. Also, the metal layer increases the adhesion strength between the Cu and dielectric so as to further increase lifetime and facilitate process yield. The free surface is a direct result of the CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) in a damascene process or in a dry etching process by which Cu wiring is patterned. It is proposed that the metal capping layer be deposited by a selective process onto the Cu to minimize further processing. We have used electroless metal coatings, such as CoWP, CoSnP and Pd, to illustrate significant reliability benefits, although chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of metals or metal forming compounds can be employed.
    • 本发明的想法是在沉积层间电介质之前,通过1-20nm厚的金属层将芯片上互连(BEOL)布线中的图案化Cu导线的自由表面涂覆。 该涂层足够薄,以便消除对通过抛光的附加平面化的需要,同时提供了防止氧化和表面或Cu的扩散的保护,这已被发明人鉴定为导致金属线路故障的主要贡献者通过电迁移和热 压力消除。 此外,金属层增加了Cu和电介质之间的粘合强度,从而进一步增加寿命并且有助于工艺产量。 自由表面是在镶嵌工艺中的CMP(化学机械抛光)或通过图形化Cu布线的干蚀刻工艺的直接结果。 提出通过选择性方法将金属覆盖层沉积到Cu上以最小化进一步的加工。 尽管可以使用金属或金属形成化合物的化学气相沉积(CVD),但我们已经使用了无电金属涂层,例如CoWP,CoSnP和Pd来说明显着的可靠性优点。
