    • A method for forming an improved TaN copper barrier for a copper damascene process is described which has improved adhesion to low-k dielectric layers and also improves the wetting of a copper seed layer deposited over it thereby improving the structure of the copper seed layer which is critical to achieving uniform, high quality electrochemical copper deposition. The copper barrier is a composite structure having an lower thin Ta rich TaN portion which mixes into and reacts with the surface of the low-k dielectric layer, forming a strongly bonded transition layer between the low-k material and the remaining portion of the barrier layer. The presence of the transition layer causes compressive film stress rather than tensile stress as found in the conventional TaN barrier. As a result, the barrier layer does not delaminate from the low-k layer during subsequent processing. A second thick central portion of the barrier layer is formed of stoichiometric TaN which benefits subsequent CMP of the copper damascene structure. An upper thin Ta portion improves barrier wetting to the copper seed layer. The three sections of the laminar barrier are sequentially deposited in a single pumpdown operation by IMP sputtering from a Ta target.
    • 描述了一种用于形成用于铜镶嵌工艺的改进的TaN铜阻挡层的方法,其具有改善的对低k电介质层的粘附性,并且还改善了沉积在其上的铜籽晶层的润湿,从而改善了铜籽晶层的结构, 对于实现均匀,高质量的电化学铜沉积至关重要。 铜屏障是具有较低的Ta Ta薄部分的复合结构,其混合并与低k电介质层的表面反应,在低k材料与阻挡层的剩余部分之间形成牢固结合的过渡层 层。 过渡层的存在导致压缩膜应力而不是常规TaN阻挡层中的拉伸应力。 结果,在随后的处理期间,阻挡层不会从低k层分层。 阻挡层的第二厚中心部分由化学计量的TaN形成,这有利于铜镶嵌结构的后续CMP。 上部薄的Ta部分改善了对铜种子层的屏障润湿。 层状阻挡层的三个部分通过来自Ta靶的IMP溅射在单次抽运操作中依次沉积。
