附图说明
当结合附图进行阅读时,根据下面详细的描述可以更好地理解本发明的各个方面。应该注意,根据工业中的标准实践,不用按比例绘制各种部件。实际上,为了清楚的讨论,各种部件的尺寸可以被任意增大或减小。

具体实施方式
以下公开内容提供了许多不同实施例或实例,用于实现所提供主题的不同特征。下面描述了组件和布置的特定实例以简化本发明。当然,这些仅是实例而不旨在限制本发明。例如,在以下描述中,在第二部件上方或上形成第一部件可以包括以直接接触的方式形成第一部件和第二部件的实施例,并且也可以包括在第一部件和第二部件之间可以形成附加部件,使得第一部件和第二部件可以不直接接触的实施例。此外,本发明可以在多个实例中重复参考标号和/或字符。该重复是为了简单和清楚的目的,并且其本身不表示所讨论的多个实施例和/或配置之间的关系。
而且,为了便于描述,在此可以使用诸如“在...之下”、“在...下面”、“下面的”、“在...之上”、以及“上面的”等的空间相对术语,以描述如图中所示的一个元件或部件与另一个(或另一些)元件或部件的关系。除图中所示的方位之外,空间相对术语旨在包括使用或操作中的器件的不同方位。装置可以以其他方式进行定位(旋转90度或在其他方位上),并且在此使用的空间相对描述符可以同样地进行相应的解释。
由于不断地按比例缩小半导体器件,也减小了后道工序(BEOL)金属互连件的部件尺寸。BEOL金属互连件的减小的部件尺寸导致间隙(诸如沟槽和通孔)的纵横比较大,在金属互连件的形成期间用导电层填充间隙。在双镶嵌金属化工艺中的通孔和沟槽的较大纵横比使得电化学镀(ECP)工艺难以进行填充,从而导致在通孔和沟槽中形成空隙、或其中未形成导电材料的区域。由于空隙不具有导电材料,所以它们会导致不良连接并损害可靠性。
因此,本发明涉及一种使用通孔预填充工艺填充间隙以减少双镶嵌金属层内的空隙的方法及其相关联的装置。在一些实施例中,该方法包括去除介电层的所选择部分以形成包括上部(例如,沟槽)和下部(例如,通孔)的开口。实施预填充层的选择性沉积以填充开口的下部的一部分。然后在预填充层上方连续形成势垒层、晶种层和导电层。通过选择性沉积预填充层以填充开口的下部,在使用ECP工艺形成导电层之前,填充了开口的下部中的空隙,从而避免空隙的形成。
图1A示出了根据一些实施例具有一个或多个导电互连层的衬底的截面图100。介电层106设置在半导体衬底102的上方。向下延伸穿过介电层106的开口包括水平面101之上的上部110和水平面101之下的下部108。开口的最大纵向尺寸与最小横向尺寸的比率可以介于约4:1和约10:1之间。该比率称为纵横比。
用第一导电层114填充开口的下部108,并且用第二导电层118填充开口的上部110。在一些实施例中,开口可以是垂直延伸穿过介电层106的双镶嵌结构。在这样的实施例中,开口可以包括垂直延伸穿过介电层106的沟槽和下面的通孔。通孔的横向尺寸小于沟槽的横向尺寸。通孔的一部分(例如,通孔的一半、小于通孔的一半或大于通孔的一半)可以由第一导电层114填充。通孔的剩余部分连同沟槽一起可以由第二导电层118填充。
第一导电层114和第二导电层118可以是相同或不同的材料。例如,第一导电层114和第二导电层118均可以包括铜(Cu),或第一导电层114可以包括钴(Co)、钌(Ru)、铝(Al)、钼(Mo)、钨(W)、CoW、或钴钨磷(CoWP)。上部势垒层116设置在第一导电层114和第二导电层118之间。上部势垒层116覆盖开口的上部110的底面和侧壁表面。上部势垒层116可以包括氮化钽(TaN)、氮化钛(TiN)、氮化锰(MnN)、碳化硅(SiC)、氮化硅(SiN)、碳氧化硅(SiOC)或氮氧化硅(SiON)。
在一些实施例中,金属氧化物势垒层112可以环绕第一导电层114的顶部区、底部区和侧壁区。侧壁区上的金属氧化物势垒层112的一部分可以具有的厚度在约1nm至约10nm的范围内。底部区上的金属氧化物势垒层112的另一部分的厚度可以比侧壁区上的厚度薄。在一些实施例中,金属氧化物势垒层112可以是氧化锰(MnOx)。在其他实施例中,金属氧化物势垒层112也可以包括具有镁(Mg)、铝(Al)、锆(Zr)、钼(Mo)、钛(Ti)、钽(Ta)、或钨(W)的氧化物。形成上部势垒层116和金属氧化物势垒层112以有助于防止第一导电层114和第二导电层118迁移至介电层106。
介电层106、填充在其中的金属氧化物势垒层112、上部势垒层116以及第一导电层114和第二导电层118可以是导电互连层130的一部分。在衬底102上方蚀刻停止层104形成的介电层106的下面。在导电互连层130之下或之上可以形成并连接有一个或多个附加导电互连层(例如,103)。在一些实施例中,第一导电层114可以电连接至下部导电互连层103。在一些其他实施例中,导电互连层130可以直接连接至半导体器件的有源区。
图1B示出了根据一些其他实施例的具有一个或多个导电互连层的衬底的截面图120。介电层106形成在半导体衬底102和蚀刻停止层104的上方。向下延伸穿过介电层106和蚀刻停止层104的开口包括由第一导电层124填充的下部108和由第二导电层128填充的上部210。沿着将第一导电层124和第二导电层128分隔开的水平面121设置上部势垒层126。晶种层127可以形成在上部势垒层126和第二导电层128之间。上部势垒层126覆盖开口的上部210的底面和侧壁表面。
下部势垒层122包括设置在开口的下部108的侧壁上的第一部分122a和设置在开口的上部210的侧壁上的第二部分122b。下部势垒层的第二部分122b夹置在介电层106和上部势垒层126之间。在一些实施例中,在下部108和上部210的底面上没有设置势垒层,使得第一导电层124与半导体器件的另一下部导电互连层103或有源区邻接。在一些实施例中,开口的下部108可以是通孔的一部分,并且上部210可以是沟槽。
图2示出了根据一些实施例填充间隙的方法的流程图200。
在步骤202中,去除介电层的所选择部分,以形成包括上部和下部的开口。
在步骤204中,用第一导电层填充开口的下部。在一些实施例中,可以通过第一镀工艺填充开口的下部。在其他实施例中,可以通过汽相沉积技术(例如,CVD、PVD等)填充开口的下部。
在步骤206中,在第一导电层上方形成上部势垒层,以覆盖开口的上部的底面和侧壁表面。
在步骤208中,用第二导电层填充开口的上部的剩余空间。在一些实施例中,可以通过第二镀工艺(例如,电镀工艺)填充开口的上部的剩余空间。
在用第二导电层填充开口的上部之前,通过用第一导电层填充开口的下部,方法200防止在开口的下部内形成空隙。
图3示出了根据一些附加实施例填充用于互连件的间隙的方法的流程图300。
尽管下面将所公开的方法(例如,方法200、300和500)示出和描述为一系列步骤或事件,但是应该理解,这些步骤或事件的示出顺序不应解释为限制意义。例如,一些步骤可以以不同的顺序发生和/或除在此示出和/或描述的步骤或事件之外,与其他步骤或事件同时发生。此外,实施在此描述的一个或多个方面或实施例不一定需要所有示出的步骤。而且,在一个或多个单独的步骤和/或阶段中可以实施在此所描述的一个或多个步骤。
在步骤302中,去除介电层的所选择部分以形成包括上部和下部的开口。可以通过镶嵌工艺形成开口。在一些实施例中,通过先通孔、先沟槽或自对准双镶嵌工艺可以形成开口。
在步骤304中,用包括第一金属元素和第二金属元素的合金层填充开口的下部。
在步骤306中,实施退火工艺以在合金层和介电层的界面处形成金属氧化物势垒层。金属氧化物势垒层包括从合金层迁移来的第二金属元素。
在步骤308中,在金属氧化物势垒层和介电层的上方形成上部势垒层。
在步骤310中,用第二导电层填充开口的上部。通过电化学镀(ECP)工艺可以形成第二导电材料。
图4A至图4E示出了根据一些实施例的半导体器件的截面图,其示出填充间隙的方法。尽管关于方法400描述了图4A至图4E,但是应该理解,图4A至图4E中所公开的结构并不限于这样一种方法。
如图4A所示,去除设置在衬底102的上方的介电层106的所选择部分,以形成包括上部110和下部108的开口。在一些实施例中,在介电层106的下方设置有蚀刻停止层104。在这样的实施例中,在相同的蚀刻工艺中也去除蚀刻停止层104的相应部分,使得露出了下面的导电互连层103。可以通过双镶嵌工艺形成开口,其中,通孔108可以形成在沟槽110的下方。在一些实施例中,通过先通孔、先沟槽或自对准双镶嵌工艺可以形成开口。
如图4B所示,用包括第一金属元素和第二金属元素的合金层413填充开口的下部108。在一些实施例中,第一金属元素可以包括铜,且第二金属元素可以包括锰。在一些其他实施例中,合金层的第二金属元素可以是锰(Mn)、镁(Mg)、铝(Al)、锆(Zr)、钼(Mo)、钛(Ti)、钽(Ta)或钨(W)。填充工艺可以是自下而上的镀工艺,其中,合金层生长开始于开口的下部108的底部并且向上发展至沿着平面101的开口的下部的表面。镀工艺可以是具有包括甲醛或乙醇酸的浴液作为还原剂的化学镀工艺。浴液还可以包括铜有机化合物溶剂。
如图4C所示,实施退火工艺以在合金层413和介电层106的界面处形成金属氧化物势垒层112。金属氧化物势垒层112包括从合金层迁移来的第二金属元素。同时,包括剩余第一金属元素的第一导电层114代替合金层413。金属氧化物势垒层112在下部的底部处的一部分可以比侧壁和顶面上的剩余部分薄。用于形成金属氧化物势垒层112的氧气可以来自邻接的介电层106或空气(合金层413暴露于该空气)。在约300℃(摄氏度)至约450℃的范围内的温度下,可以在处理室内实施退火工艺持续约10min(分钟)和约60min的范围内的时间段。
如图4D所示,上部势垒层416形成在金属氧化物势垒层112和介电层106的上方。上部势垒层416设置在上部110的底面和侧壁表面上。在一些实施例中,通过汽相沉积工艺(例如,CVD、PVD等)可以形成上部势垒层416。在各个实施例中,上部势垒层416可以包括氮化钽(TaN)、氮化钛(TiN)、氮化锰(MnN)、碳化硅(SiC)、氮化硅(SiN)、碳氧化硅(SiOC)或氮氧化硅(SiON)。上部势垒层416包括覆盖开口的上部的顶面、底面和侧壁表面的薄衬里层,该薄衬里层被配置为防止导电层迁移至介电层中。
如图4E所示,用第二导电层418填充开口的上部110。在一些实施例中,第二导电层418是铜。在形成第二导电层418之前,包括与第二导电层418相同或不同的材料的晶种层417可以形成在上部110内。通过物理汽相沉积(PVD)可以形成晶种层417。在沉积之后施加平坦化工艺(例如,化学机械抛光(CMP)工艺)以去除第二导电层的多余部分。
图5示出了根据一些其他实施例填充间隙的方法500的流程图。
在步骤502中,在向下延伸穿过介电层的开口的上方形成第一势垒层,其中,开口包括上部和下部。
