    • A metal deposition process in which a high-purity metal film (46) is sputter deposited within a sputtering system (10) having insitu passivated metal components. A sputtering target (14) is provided having a thin aluminum coating (44) overlying a refractory metal layer (42). During operation, the aluminum coating (44) is sputtered away from the target (14) and onto exposed metal surfaces within the vacuum chamber (20) of the sputter deposition system (10). Subsequently, a semiconductor substrate (38) is placed in the sputter deposition system (10) and a high-purity metal film (46) is deposited onto the semiconductor substrate (38). Because the insitu passivation process avoid the oxidation of the passivating aluminum, refractory metal sputtered away from the target (14) adheres to the passivating aluminum layer, and does not re-deposit onto the surface of the semiconductor substrate (38) during the sputter deposition process.
    • 金属沉积工艺,其中在具有钝化金属组分的溅射系统(10)内溅射沉积高纯度金属膜(46)。 提供溅射靶(14),其具有覆盖难熔金属层(42)的薄铝涂层(44)。 在操作期间,将铝涂层(44)从靶(14)溅射到溅射沉积系统(10)的真空室(20)内的暴露的金属表面上。 随后,将半导体衬底(38)放置在溅射沉积系统(10)中,并将高纯度金属膜(46)沉积到半导体衬底(38)上。 由于本征钝化过程避免了钝化铝的氧化,溅射远离目标(14)的难熔金属粘附到钝化铝层上,并且在溅射沉积期间不再沉积到半导体衬底(38)的表面上 处理。

    • Scattered radiation from a sample surface is collected by means of a collector that collects radiation substantially symmetrically about a line normal to the surface. The collected radiation is directed to channels at different azimuthal angles so- that information related to relative azimuthal positions of the collected scattered radiation about the line is preserved. The collected radiation is converted into respective signals representative of radiation scattered at different azimuthal angles about the line. The presence and/or characteristics of anomalies are determined from the signals. Alternatively, the radiation collected by the collector may be filtered by means of a spatial filter having an annular gap of an angle related to the angular separation of expected pattern scattering. Signals obtained from the narrow and wide collection channels may be compared to distinguish between micro-scratches and particles. Forward scattered radiation may be collected from other radiation and compared to distinguish between micro-scratches and particles. Intensity of scattering is measured when the surface is illuminated sequentially by S- and P-polarized radiation and compared to distinguish between micro-scratches and particles. Representative films may be measured using profilometers or scanning probe microscopes to determine their roughness and by the above-described instruments to determine haze in order to build a database. Surface roughness of unknown films may then be determined by measuring haze values and from the database.
    • 来自样品表面的散射辐射通过收集器收集,收集器围绕垂直于表面的线基本上对称地收集辐射。 收集的辐射被引导到不同方位角的通道,以便保持与线周围收集的散射辐射的相对方位位置有关的信息。 所收集的辐射被转换成代表围绕线路以不同方位角散射的辐射的各个信号。 异常的存在和/或特征由信号确定。 或者,由集电器收集的辐射可以通过具有与预期图案散射的角度间隔相关的角度的环形间隙的空间滤光器来过滤。 可以比较从狭窄和宽收集通道获得的信号,以区分微划痕和微粒。 可以从其他辐射收集向前散射的辐射,并进行比较以区分微划痕和微粒。 当通过S和P偏振辐射依次照射表面时,测量散射强度并进行比较以区分微划痕和微粒。 可以使用轮廓仪或扫描探针显微镜来测量代表性膜以确定其粗糙度,并且可以通过上述仪器来确定雾度以构建数据库。 然后可以通过测量雾度值和数据库来确定未知膜的表面粗糙度。

    • A process for fabrication of a multilevel interconnect structure includes the formation of an inlaid interconnect (42) overlying an aluminum layer (34). The inlaid interconnect (42) is formed within an interlevel dielectric layer that is processed to contain an interconnect channel (24) and a via opening (14) residing at the bottom of the interconnect channel (24). The aluminum layer (34) is selectively deposited to fill the via opening (14) at the bottom of an interconnect channel (24). Selective deposition is enhanced by the use of a nucleation layer (20) which is formed on the bottom of the via opening, without being formed on the sidewalls, by use of directional deposition technique such as inductively coupled plasma (ICP) deposition. Nucleation layer (20) eases requirements of a cleaning operation prior to selective deposition and provides a surface from which void-free selective growth can occur.
    • 制造多层互连结构的工艺包括形成覆盖铝层(34)的镶嵌互连(42)。 嵌入式互连(42)形成在层间介质层内,该层间介质层被处理成包含位于互连通道(24)的底部的互连通道(24)和通孔开口(14)。 选择性地沉积铝层(34)以填充互连通道(24)的底部处的通孔(14)。 通过使用形成在通孔开口底部而不形成在侧壁上的成核层(20),通过使用诸如感应耦合等离子体(ICP)沉积的定向沉积技术来增强选择性沉积。 成核层(20)在选择性沉积之前降低了清洁操作的要求,并且提供了可以从其出现空隙的选择性生长的表面。
