    • The disclosure relates to a DC magnetron sputter reactor (50) for sputtering copper, its method of use, and shields and other parts promoting self-ionized plasma (SIP) sputtering, preferably at pressures below 5 milliTorr, preferably below 1 milliTorr. Also, a method of coating copper into a narrow and deep via or trench using SIP for a first copper layer is disclosed. SIP is promoted by a small magnetron (130) having poles (132, 134) of unequal magnetic strength and a high power applied to the target during sputtering. The target power for a 200mm wafer is preferably at least 10kW; more preferably, at least 18kW; and most preferably, at least 24kW. Hole filling with SIP is improved by long-throw sputtering in which the target-to-substrate spacing (56 to 58) is at least 50% of substrate diameter, more preferably at least 80%, most preferably at least 140%. The SIP copper layer (150) can act as a seed and nucleation layer for hole filling with conventional sputtering (PVD) or with electrochemical plating (ECP). For very high aspect-ratio holes (22), a copper seed layer is deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) over the SIP copper nucleation layer, and PVD or ECP completes the hole filling. The copper seed layer may be deposited by a combination of SIP and high-density plasma sputtering. For very narrow holes, the CVD copper layer may fill the hole. Preferably, the plasma is ignited in a cool process in which low power is applied to the target in the presence of a higher pressure of argon working gas. After ignition, the pressure is reduced, and target power is ramped up to a relatively high operational level to sputter deposit the film.
    • 本发明涉及用于溅射铜的DC磁控管溅射反应器(50),其使用方法以及优选在低于5毫托,优选低于1毫托的压力下促进自离子化等离子体(SIP)溅射的屏蔽和其他部件。 而且,公开了一种使用SIP将铜涂覆到狭窄且深的过孔或沟槽中用于第一铜层的方法。 SIP由小型磁控管(130)提升,该磁控管具有在溅射期间不等磁场强度和高功率施加于靶的磁极(132,134)。 200mm晶圆的目标功率最好至少为10kW; 更优选至少18kW; 最优选至少24kW。 通过长溅射溅射改善了SIP填充孔,其中靶 - 衬底间距(56至58)至少为衬底直径的50%,更优选至少80%,最优选至少140%。 SIP铜层(150)可以充当用传统溅射(PVD)或电化学镀(ECP)填充孔的晶种和成核层。 对于非常高纵横比的孔(22),通过化学气相沉积(CVD)在SIP铜成核层上沉积铜晶种层,并且PVD或ECP完成孔填充。 铜种子层可以通过SIP和高密度等离子体溅射的组合来沉积。 对于非常狭窄的孔,CVD铜层可以填充孔。 优选地,等离子体在冷却过程中点燃,其中在存在较高压力的氩气工作气体的情况下向目标施加低功率。 点火后,压力降低,目标功率升高到相对较高的操作水平,以溅射沉积薄膜。
