Abstract
The invention discloses a method for improving the copper diffusion barrier layer sputtering step coverage capability. The method comprises the steps of back-etching a metal hard mask and removing edge corners of the hard mask when etching of a dielectric layer trench is finished so as to expand the size of an opening of the trench, preparing a copper diffusion barrier layer to cover the surfaces of the trench and the hard mask and carrying out copper electroplating and chemical mechanical polishing processes. As the process of metal hard mask back-etching is added in the method, the opening pattern of the trench is increased by etching the edge corners of the metal hard mask, formation of bulges at corners can be prevented during preparation of the copper diffusion barrier layer, the filling capability is improved in the subsequent electroplating process, and the device performance is improved.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of semiconductor manufacture, be specifically related to a kind of method that improves the interconnected trench fill ability of copper.
Background technology
Along with constantly dwindling of device size, the raising of operating frequency, especially below 90nm node, industry is generally used Damascus copper interconnection technology, in the copper interconnection technology of Damascus, need to form the interconnected groove of copper in device etching, then deposit a copper diffusion barrier layer covering groove surface, then fill metallic copper and carry out cmp and obtain desired structure.But in the technique of deposited barrier layer, during barrier layer sputter, easily at groove opening corner, form projection, and then cause patterns of openings less, at the groove for having compared with high-aspect-ratio, when filling groove, very easily because opening is insufficient compared with the little trench fill that causes, and then affect device performance.
Fig. 1~Fig. 4 is the process chart of the interconnected technique of copper in prior art, comprises the following steps:
The upper surface of step 3, the surface of preparing a copper diffusion barrier layer covering groove and the hard mask of residual metallic, as shown in Figure 3 structure;
Because traditional handicraft is Direct precipitation copper diffusion barrier layer after etching forms groove, when copper diffusion barrier layer sputter, easily on the corner form projection, and then reduced patterns of openings size, as shown in Figure 3.In the larger trench fill technique of depth-to-width ratio, cause the copper of filling can not well be full of groove, and then affect device performance, as shown in Figure 4.
Therefore, how to improve packing material covers in groove integrality and endeavour the direction of studying for those skilled in the art.
Chinese patent (application number: the manufacture method that 201110274227.1) discloses a kind of metal copper Damascus interconnection structure; comprise the following steps: comprise the steps: in metal dielectric layer, to make in advance the first through hole and the first groove, and on metal dielectric layer from the bottom to top successively deposition etch barrier layer, sacrifice layer, hard mask layer, the first antireflecting coating, corresponding to patterned first photoresist of described the first through hole; In integrating, the interconnected smithcraft of back segment forms double damask structure; In double damask structure, adopt non-oxidizing acid to remove the sacrifice layer on etch stop layer; Adopt spin coating proceeding that advanced low-k materials is filled up in the region except metallic copper again in etch stop layer top, form metal copper Damascus interconnection structure.The invention provides a kind of manufacture method of metal copper Damascus interconnection structure, to stop the damage of the low-k that dry etching and/or cineration technics etc. cause in traditional handicraft.
This invention, when etching forms groove, is directly to fill, and when the higher groove of depth-to-width ratio is filled, filler may form at opening part stacking, and then causes trench fill insufficient, and then affects device performance.
Chinese patent (application number: 200910055938.2) disclose a kind of copper interconnection method, adopt etch process on dielectric layer, to form through hole, and in through hole after deposited copper diffusion impervious layer and copper seed layer, the method comprises: wafer is taken out from reative cell, before wafer enters electroplating bath, wafer frontside down and rotate; Adopt electrochemistry plating ECP growth copper interconnection layer; Adopt cmp that copper interconnection layer is polished to dielectric layer surface, form copper conductor.Adopt the method can in the process of copper-connection, avoid copper conductor to occur cavity, and avoid copper conductor to cause erosion.
This invention is by before wafer carries out copper electroplating technology, and wafer frontside and rotate, is removed VOC or particulate pollutant down, then carries out the interconnected technique of metallic copper.But this patent is by the moving wafer of special plating endless belt, to be rotated to remove the pollutant of groove, and groove opening pattern is not changed, in the higher groove of depth-to-width ratio during deposited copper diffusion impervious layer, may form at opening part stacking, and then cause follow-up filling insufficient, affect device performance.
Summary of the invention
In order to address the above problem, the invention provides a kind of method that improves copper diffusion barrier layer sputter step covering power, in etching, form after the interconnected groove of copper, again metal hard mask is returned to quarter, make metal hard mask on the corner form a turning, make the copper diffusion barrier layer of subsequent deposition can on the corner not form projection, reduce the patterns of openings size at groove top, and then packing material better covers the interconnected groove of copper in follow-up copper electroplating technology.
In order to address the above problem, the technical solution used in the present invention is:
Improve a method for trench fill ability, be applied in the interconnected technique of Damascus copper, wherein, described method comprises:
Remaining metal hard mask layers described in step 4, etching, to expand the openend of described top channel;
Above-mentioned method, wherein, returns carving technology etching by photoresistance and removes the anti-reflecting layer that hardmask upper surface and side are positioned at groove.
Above-mentioned method, wherein, adopts wet-cleaned to remove described residue anti-reflecting layer.
Above-mentioned method, wherein, described metal hard mask layer is TiN.
Above-mentioned method, wherein, adopts remaining metal hard mask layers described in plasma etching industrial etching.
Above-mentioned method, wherein, controls width, the sidewall pattern of the metal hard mask layers after etching by adjusting the technological parameter of described plasma etching.
Above-mentioned method, wherein, described copper diffusion barrier layer is TaN.
Above-mentioned method, wherein adopts physical vapour deposition (PVD) to deposit described copper diffusion barrier layer.
Because the present invention has adopted above technical scheme, when etching forms interconnected groove, fill anti-reflecting layer in groove after and to metal hard mask layers, carry out etching, remove the corner of trench metal hard mask, and then when all needing deposited copper diffusion impervious layer, avoid on the corner forming stacking, and then when follow-up trench fill, make to fill more abundant, and then boost device performance; Simultaneously, due to before etching metal hard mask layers, be filled with anti-reflecting layer in groove, low-dielectric constant layer that can fine protection metal hard mask layers below, avoids, when etching metal hard mask layers, low-dielectric constant layer is caused to damage.
