Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to interconnect structures formed in semiconductor devices.
- the present disclosure relates to a structure and methods of forming metal interconnect structures in porous ultra low-k dielectric.
- Integrated circuit chips typically include two or more levels of conductive lines which are vertically spaced apart and separated by intermediate insulating layers.
- Interconnections are formed between the levels of conductive lines in the chip for providing high wiring density and good thermal performance.
- the interconnections are formed by means of lines and vias which are etched through the insulating layers separating the levels.
- the lines and vias are then filled with a conductive material or metal (e.g. Copper) to form interconnect elements (i.e. via studs).
- a typical damascene process for producing a multilevel structure would include: a blanket deposition of a dielectric material; pattering of the dielectric material to form openings; deposition of a conductive material onto the substrate in sufficient thickness to fill the openings; and removal of excessive conductive material from the substrate surface using a chemical reactant-based process, mechanical methods, or combined chemical-mechanical polishing techniques.
- a typical interconnect element includes metal vias running perpendicular to the semiconductor substrate and metal lines running parallel to the semiconductor substrate. This process results in multiple levels of conductor wiring interconnection patterns, having individual levels connected by via studs and operating to distribute signals among the various circuits on the chip.
- the dielectric material is made from an inorganic glass like silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) or a fluorinated silica glass (FSG) film deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).
- a dual damascene (DD) process is another well known method of making interconnect wiring networks.
- the wiring interconnect network consists of two types of features: line features that traverse a certain distance across the chip, and via features which connect together lines in different levels of interconnects in a multilevel stack. Because two interconnect features are simultaneously defined to form a conductor inlaid within an insulator by a single polish step, this process is referred to as dual damascene process.
- the overall speed of operation of these advanced chips are beginning to be limited by the signal propagation delay in the interconnection wires between the individual devices on the chips.
- the signal propagation delay in the interconnect structures is dependent on the resistance of the interconnect wires and the overall capacitance of the interconnect scheme in which the wires are embedded.
- the current focus in the microelectronics industry in building the multilayered interconnect structures on chips, is to reduce the capacitance by the use of lower dielectric constant (k) insulators, by introducing porosity in these insulators.
- k dielectric constant
- the reliability of metal interconnects in porous ultra low-k dielectrics is a critical concern.
- the electromigration lifetime of wide-line interconnects is poor due to a lack of a liner contact between the landing via and the liner in the underlying line. Since the porous dielectric is prone to severe erosion during etch-back step needed for via embedment within the underlying line, localized “fangs” or deep and sharp trenches are formed at the bottom of the line. Because of the severe topography, these fangs are not appropriately covered with the liner. As a result, in view of a voltage bias, the metal can readily leak out through the exposed area causing time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) leakage failure as well as time-zero leakage. At present, there are no known solutions to this problem.

Abstract
Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The present disclosure relates generally to interconnect structures formed in semiconductor devices. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a structure and methods of forming metal interconnect structures in porous ultra low-k dielectric.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Integrated circuit chips typically include two or more levels of conductive lines which are vertically spaced apart and separated by intermediate insulating layers.
- Interconnections are formed between the levels of conductive lines in the chip for providing high wiring density and good thermal performance. The interconnections are formed by means of lines and vias which are etched through the insulating layers separating the levels. The lines and vias are then filled with a conductive material or metal (e.g. Copper) to form interconnect elements (i.e. via studs).
- One preferred method of making interconnect wiring networks is the damascene process. A typical damascene process for producing a multilevel structure would include: a blanket deposition of a dielectric material; pattering of the dielectric material to form openings; deposition of a conductive material onto the substrate in sufficient thickness to fill the openings; and removal of excessive conductive material from the substrate surface using a chemical reactant-based process, mechanical methods, or combined chemical-mechanical polishing techniques. A typical interconnect element includes metal vias running perpendicular to the semiconductor substrate and metal lines running parallel to the semiconductor substrate. This process results in multiple levels of conductor wiring interconnection patterns, having individual levels connected by via studs and operating to distribute signals among the various circuits on the chip. Traditionally, the dielectric material is made from an inorganic glass like silicon dioxide (SiO2) or a fluorinated silica glass (FSG) film deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).
- A dual damascene (DD) process is another well known method of making interconnect wiring networks. In the standard DD process, the wiring interconnect network consists of two types of features: line features that traverse a certain distance across the chip, and via features which connect together lines in different levels of interconnects in a multilevel stack. Because two interconnect features are simultaneously defined to form a conductor inlaid within an insulator by a single polish step, this process is referred to as dual damascene process.
- With the progress in the transistor device technology leading to the present ultra large scale integration, the overall speed of operation of these advanced chips are beginning to be limited by the signal propagation delay in the interconnection wires between the individual devices on the chips. The signal propagation delay in the interconnect structures is dependent on the resistance of the interconnect wires and the overall capacitance of the interconnect scheme in which the wires are embedded. The current focus in the microelectronics industry in building the multilayered interconnect structures on chips, is to reduce the capacitance by the use of lower dielectric constant (k) insulators, by introducing porosity in these insulators. However, the reliability of metal interconnects in porous ultra low-k dielectrics is a critical concern. In particular, the electromigration lifetime of wide-line interconnects is poor due to a lack of a liner contact between the landing via and the liner in the underlying line. Since the porous dielectric is prone to severe erosion during etch-back step needed for via embedment within the underlying line, localized “fangs” or deep and sharp trenches are formed at the bottom of the line. Because of the severe topography, these fangs are not appropriately covered with the liner. As a result, in view of a voltage bias, the metal can readily leak out through the exposed area causing time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) leakage failure as well as time-zero leakage. At present, there are no known solutions to this problem.
- Accordingly, a novel method of interconnect fabrication is proposed for making a reliable metal interconnect in porous ultra low-k dielectric that would address the aforementioned challenges.
- The present disclosure is directed to a structure and methods of forming interconnect structures in ultra low-k dielectrics. In one embodiment, an interconnect structure is described. The structure includes a capped interconnect layer; a dielectric layer having at least one interconnect feature, the interconnect feature having a contact via and a contact line, where the contact via is partially embedded into a portion of the interconnect line in the level below; and a thin layer formed on the dielectric layer, the thin layer separating the dielectric layer from the contact line. The interconnect layer and the interconnect feature includes a metal selected from a group consisting of Cu, Al, W and alloys thereof. In one particular embodiment, the interconnect feature includes a Cu-containing conductive material and the dielectric layer is an ultra low-k dielectric layer.

- Other features of the presently disclosed structure and method of making reliable metal interconnect structures in ultra low-k dielectrics will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, which illustrate, by way of example, the presently disclosed structure and method.
- The features of the presently disclosed structure and method of forming metal interconnect structures in ultra low-k dielectrics will be described hereinbelow with references to the figures, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a prior art metal interconnect structure; -
FIGS. 2-8 illustrate simplified cross-sectional views of progressive stages of a method of forming interconnect structures, in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure; and -
FIG. 9 is an exemplary flow diagram illustrating a method of forming an interconnect structure, in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. - In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth, such as particular structures, components, materials, dimensions, processing steps and techniques, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, it will be appreciated by one skilled in the art that the invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures or processing steps have not been described in detail to avoid obscuring the invention. Thus, the materials and dimensions described herein are employed to illustrate the invention in one application and should not be construed as limiting.
- Referring now to the drawing figures, wherein like references numerals identify identical or corresponding elements, an embodiment of the presently disclosed structure and method of forming metal interconnect structures in ultra low-k dielectrics, will be disclosed in detail. In particular, a new interconnect process is described, whereby a thin metallic or dielectric layer is incorporated underneath the line trench prior to the liner deposition. The proposed thin metallic or dielectric layer will eliminate any trench erosion, “fangs” or deep localized trenches formation at the porous dielectric during the etch-back. As a result, an appropriate degree of via embedment in the underlying line can be achieved without any penalty for the line erosion and fang formation. Thus, a substantial improvement of the yield and/or reliability improvements such as via chain and line maze yield and metal line electromigration life time enhancement are achieved. In addition, this process also provides an additional benefit on short yield and TDDB reliability since there is no metal residue between metal lines.
- With initial reference to
FIG. 1 , a prior art interconnect structure formed on a low-k dielectric is described and is designated generally asinterconnect structure 10.Interconnect structure 10 includes generally a metal (e.g. Cu)line 12 formed on a first dielectric layer (not shown) and an interconnect feature having a metal viafeature 14 and aline metal feature 16 formed on an ultra low-k dielectric layer 18. Abarrier liner 20 is deposited prior to the deposition of the metal. Since theporous dielectric 18 is prone to rather severe erosion during etch-back, localized “fangs” 22 (i.e. deep and sharp trenches) are formed at a bottom surface ofline metal feature 16. Because of the severe topography,fangs 22 cannot be covered properly byliner 20. As a result, the presence of a voltage bias, the metal can readily leak out through the exposed area causing time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) leakage failure. -
FIGS. 2-8 illustrate a novel structure and methods of forming metal interconnect structures in ultra low-k dielectrics. In particular, these figures illustrate new and improved interconnect structures formed in an ultra low-k dielectric having a thin barrier layer and a method of forming the interconnect structures. In this novel proposed process, via can be substantially (i.e. adequately) embedded in the line underneath resulting in enhancement of electromigration reliability of interconnects in porous and soft Ultra Low-k dielectric. In addition, the original dielectric interface created during CMP is removed by a blanket reactive ion etch (RIE) process and then filled with a fresh ultra low-k dielectric layer. The incidence of debris is significantly reduced, since a minimal degree of CMP is needed to planarize this layer, thus having a significant improvement in TDDB reliability and time-zero leakage yield. In one embodiment, the interconnect structure includes a patterned dielectric material and at least one metal interconnect, such as, for example, a Cu-containing conductive material, having an upper surface embedded within the dielectric material; a capping layer separating the patterned dielectric material from the metal. The interconnect structure further includes an ultra low-k dielectric formed over the capping layer and a thin liner formed over the ultra low-k dielectric. At least one interconnect feature is then formed over the thin liner and the ultra low-k dielectric. The at least one interconnect feature includes a metal via feature and a metal line feature. In one embodiment, the metal via feature is perpendicular to the ultra low-k dielectric and is partially embedded into the metal interconnect. In addition, the thin liner is formed between a surface of the metal line feature and a surface of the ultra low-k dielectric. In one particular embodiment, the metal feature is a Cu-containing conductive material having uniform impurity. In addition, the Cu-containing conductive material includes Sulfur having impurity less than about 100 pp, Carbon having impurity less than about 10 ppm and Chlorine having impurity less than about 10 ppm. - With particular reference to
