    • An aluminum sputtering process, particularly useful for filling vias and contacts of high aspect ratios formed through a dielectric layer and also usefull for forming interconnects that are highly resistant to electromigration. A liner or barrier layer is first deposited by a high-density plasma (HDP) physical vapor deposition (PVD, also called sputtering) process, such as is done with an inductively coupled plasma. If a contact is connected at its bottom to a silicon element, the first sublayer of the liner layer is a Ti layer, which is silicided to the silicon substrate. The second sublayer comprises TiN, which not only acts as a barrier against the migration of undesirable components into the underlying silicon but also when deposited with an HDP process and biased wafer forms a dense, smooth crystal structure. The third sublayer comprises Ti and preferably is graded from TiN to Ti. Over the liner layer, an aluminum layer is deposited in a standard, non-HDP process. The liner layer allows the hottest part of the aluminum deposition to be performed at a relatively low temperature between 320 and 500° C., preferably between 350 and 420° C., while still filling narrow plug holes, and the TiN does not need to be annealed to form an effective barrier against diffusion into the silicon. A horizontal interconnect formed by the inventive process is resistant to electromigration.
    • 铝溅射工艺,特别适用于填充通过电介质层形成的高纵横比的通孔和触点,并且也可用于形成高度抵抗电迁移的互连。 衬垫或阻挡层首先通过高密度等离子体(HDP)物理气相沉积(PVD,也称为溅射)工艺沉积,例如用电感耦合等离子体进行。 如果接触件的底部连接到硅元件,衬垫层的第一子层是Ti层,硅层被硅化到硅衬底。 第二子层包括TiN,其不仅用作防止不期望的组分迁移到下面的硅中的阻挡层,而且当用HDP工艺沉积并且偏置的晶片形成致密的,平滑的晶体结构时。 第三子层包含Ti,优选从TiN到Ti分级。 在衬里层上,铝层以标准的非HDP工艺沉积。 衬垫层允许铝沉积的最热部分在320和500℃之间的较低温度下进行,优选在350和420℃之间,同时仍然填充窄的塞孔,并且TiN不需要 进行退火以形成抵抗硅中扩散的有效屏障。 由本发明方法形成的水平互连对于电迁移是耐受的。
