Description

The formation method of semiconductor structure
Technical field
The present invention relates to technical field of semiconductors, relate in particular to a kind of formation method of semiconductor structure.
Background technology
Along with the making of integrated circuit develops to very lagre scale integrated circuit (VLSIC) (ULSI), its inner current densities is increasing, contained number of elements constantly increases, and makes the surface of wafer cannot provide enough areas to make required interconnection line (Interconnect).For co-operating member dwindles rear increased interconnection line demand, utilize the design of the two-layer above multiple layer metal interconnection line that through hole realizes, become the method that very large scale integration technology institute must employing.
Traditional metal interconnectedly realized by aluminium, but along with constantly the dwindling of device feature size in integrated circuit (IC) chip, the current density in metal connecting line constantly increases, the response time constantly shortens, and conventional aluminum interconnection line has reached technological limits.After process is less than 130nm, traditional aluminum interconnecting technology is replaced by copper interconnecting line technology gradually.With aluminum metallic matrix ratio, the resistivity of copper metal is lower, electromigration lifetime is longer, utilizes process for copper to make RC that metal interconnecting wires can reduce interconnection line and postpones, improves the integrity problem that electromigration etc. causes.But, adopt process for copper to make interconnection line and also have two problems: the one, the diffusion velocity of copper is very fast, and the 2nd, the etching difficulty of copper, therefore, its applicable manufacturing process is completely different from aluminium technique, conventionally can adopt mosaic texture to realize in the mode of filling.
Yet, along with constantly reducing of semiconductor technology node, critical size (the CD of the groove in semiconductor device and through hole, critical dimension) also corresponding reducing, while filling copper metal in groove and through hole, easily produce cavity, have a strong impact on the electric property of formed semiconductor device.In addition, existing technique groove and through hole are carried out to copper conventionally can be at groove and through-hole side wall deposited barrier layer and inculating crystal layer, to improve the adhesiveness of copper metal and groove or through-hole side wall and to prevent that copper atom from spreading to dielectric layer by sidewall before metal filled.But when groove and through-hole side wall deposition of adhesion and inculating crystal layer, the adhesion layer depositing and inculating crystal layer easily form projection at groove and via openings place, further reduced the width of the groove that forms and via openings, have a strong impact on the metal filled technique of follow-up copper, cause producing in formed copper metal interconnecting wires empty.
With reference to figure 1, for existing technique forms the cross-sectional view of copper semiconductor structure, the technique that forms copper semiconductor structure is as follows: first, and copper blocking layer 103 and low-k interlayer dielectric layer 105 on substrate 101; Then, etching low dielectric constant interlayer dielectric layer 105, forms through hole; Follow again, in via bottoms and sidewall, form barrier layer 107, to improve the adhesiveness between the copper metal of follow-up filling and the low-k interlayer dielectric layer 105 of through-hole side wall, and prevent that copper atom is generally Ta, TaN or Ta and TaN composition to the interior diffusion ,Gai of low-k interlayer dielectric layer 105 barrier layer 107; Then on , barrier layer 107, form copper seed layer 109, then in through hole, fill copper metal by physical gas-phase deposition, form copper layer 111.The formation quality of this copper layer is very large to the performance impact of circuit, can directly have influence on a plurality of performance parameters of circuit.
In the forming process of above-mentioned copper layer 111, if the filling quality of copper metal is not good, in the cavity 113 shown in the inner formation Fig. 1 of copper layer 111, to cause formed semiconductor structure electromigration (EM, Electronic Migration) lost efficacy, have a strong impact on the wafer electric performance test (WAT, wafer acceptance test) of the semiconductor device that comprises formed semiconductor structure and the rate of finished products of wafer sort (CP, circuit probing).
