    • An integrated in situ oxide etch process particularly useful for a counterbore dual-damascene structure over copper having in one inter-layer dielectric level a lower nitride stop layer, a lower oxide dielectric, a lower nitride stop layer, an upper oxide dielectric layer, and an anti-reflective coating (ARC). The process is divided into a counterbore etch and a trench etch with photolithography for each, and each step is preferably performed in a high-density plasma reactor having an inductively coupled plasma source primarily generating the plasma and a capacitively coupled pedestal supporting the wafer and producing the bias power. The counterbore etch preferably includes at least four substeps of opening the ARC, etching through the upper oxide and nitride layers, selectively etching the lower oxide layer but stopping on the lower nitride layer, and a post-etch treatment for removing residue. The trench etch preferably includes the five substeps of opening the ARC, etching through the upper oxide layer but stopping on the upper nitride layers, a first post-etch treatment for removing residue, a nitride removal of the exposed portions of the upper and lower nitride layers, and a second post-etch treatment for remaining further residues. The oxide etches selective to nitride are accomplished using a fluorocarbon chemistry with high bias and a high temperature for a silicon-based scavenger for fluorine placed next to the plasma. The nitride etches and removal are accomplished by adding an oxygen-containing gas to a fluorocarbon. The final nitride removal is accomplished with very low bias power to increase selectivity to nitride and reduce sputtering of the underlying copper. The post-etch treatments are oxygen plasmas with zero bias power.
    • 一种集成的原位氧化物蚀刻工艺,特别适用于铜上的沉孔双镶嵌结构,具有一层间电介质层,一层较低的氮化物阻挡层,一层较低的氧化物介电层,一层较低的氮化物阻挡层, 抗反射涂层(ARC)。 该工艺分别用光刻法分为沉孔蚀刻和沟槽蚀刻,并且每个步骤优选在具有主要产生等离子体的电感耦合等离子体源的高密度等离子体反应器和支撑晶片的电容耦合基座并且产生 偏置力。 沉孔蚀刻优选包括打开ARC的至少四个子步骤,蚀刻通过上部氧化物和氮化物层,选择性地蚀刻低氧化物层但停止在下部氮化物层上,以及用于去除残留物的蚀刻后处理。 沟槽蚀刻优选包括打开ARC的五个子步骤,蚀刻穿过上部氧化物层但停止在上部氮化物层上,第一次蚀刻后处理以除去残余物,去除上部和下部氮化物的暴露部分的氮化物 层,以及用于剩余另外的残余物的第二次蚀刻后处理。 对氮化物的选择性的氧化物蚀刻是使用氟离子化学方法实现的,该化合物具有高偏压和高温,用于放置在等离子体旁边的用于氟的硅基清除剂。 通过向碳氟化合物中加入含氧气体来实现氮化物蚀刻和去除。 最终的氮化物去除通过非常低的偏置功率实现,以增加对氮化物的选择性并减少底层铜的溅射。 蚀刻后处理是具有零偏压功率的氧等离子体。
