摘要： An improved and new process, used for the elimination of copper line damage in damacene processing, is disclosed. By depositing copper by physical vapor deposition (PVD), sputtering, preferably by an ion metal plasma (IMP) scheme or chemical vapor deposition (CVD), the deposited copper fills pinholes or intra-cracks (micro-cracks), caused by poor gap filling of purely electrochemical deposition of copper plating. By this process or method, chemical attack on copper lines, by chemicals in the subsequent chemical mechanical polish (CMP) back and post-cleaning steps, is prevented.

摘要： A method for forming a copper structure with reduced dishing, using a self-aligned copper electroplating process. The process begins by providing a semiconductor structure having a dielectric layer thereover, wherein the dielectric layer has a trench therein. A barrier layer is formed over the dielectric layer, a seed layer is formed on the barrier layer, and an insulating layer is formed on the seed layer. The insulating layer is patterned so as to expose the seed layer on the bottom and sidewalls of the trench, preferably using the trench photo mask. A copper layer is selectively electroplated onto the exposed seed layer on the bottom and sidewalls of the trench, while the insulating layer prevents copper deposition outside of the trench. The copper layer, the insulating layer, and the seed layer are planarized, stopping at the dielectric layer. Because of the self-aligned copper geometry, the copper suffers reduced dishing.

摘要： A process for performing CMP in two steps is described. After trenches have been formed and over-filled with copper, in a first embodiment of the invention a hard pad is used initially to remove most of the copper until a point is reached where dishing effects would begin to appear. A soft pad is then substituted and CMP continued until all copper has been removed, except in the trenches. In a second embodiment, CMP is initiated using a pad to which high-pressure is applied and which rotates relatively slowly. As before, this combination is used until the point is reached where dishing effects would begin to appear. Then, relatively low pressure in combination with relatively high rotational speed is used until all copper has been removed, except in the trenches. Both of these embodiments result in trenches which are just-filled with copper, with little or no dishing effects, and with all traces of copper removed everywhere except in the trenches themselves.

摘要： A process for reducing dishing in damascene structures formed in low k organic dielectrics is described. A key feature is the insertion of a liner layer between the low k dielectric layer and the etch stop layer. The only requirement for the liner material is that it should have different etching characteristics from the etch stop material so that when trenches are etched in the dielectric they extend as far as the etch stop layer, in the normal way. When this is done it is found that dishing, after CMP, is significantly reduced, particularly for trench structures made up of multiple narrow trenches spaced close together.
摘要翻译：描述了一种用于减少在低k有机电介质中形成的镶嵌结构中的凹陷的方法。一个关键特征是在低k电介质层和蚀刻停止层之间插入衬里层。衬垫材料的唯一要求是它应该具有与蚀刻停止材料不同的蚀刻特性，使得当在电介质中蚀刻沟槽时，它们以正常方式延伸到蚀刻停止层的最远处。当这样做时，发现在CMP之后的凹陷显着减少，特别是对于由几个间隔得很近的窄沟槽组成的沟槽结构。

摘要： A method for filling a trench within a silicon substrate. There is first provided a silicon substrate having a trench formed therein. There is then oxidized thermally the silicon substrate to form within the trench a thermal silicon oxide trench liner layer. There is then treated the thermal silicon oxide trench liner layer by exposure to a plasma formed from a gas composition which upon plasma activation simultaneously supplies an active nitrogen containing species and an active oxygen containing species to form a plasma treated thermal silicon oxide trench liner layer. There is then formed upon the plasma treated thermal silicon oxide trench liner layer a conformal silicon oxide intermediate layer formed through a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method employing a silane silicon source material. Finally, there is then formed upon the conformal silicon oxide intermediate layer a gap filling silicon oxide trench fill layer through an ozone assisted sub-atmospheric pressure thermal chemical vapor deposition (SACVD) method employing an ozone oxidant and a tetra-ethyl-ortho-silicate (TEOS) silicon source material.
