Description

一种化学镀制备ULSI-Cu布线扩散阻挡层NiCoB薄膜的方法
技术领域
本发明属于化学镀应用技术领域,特别是化学镀制备超大规模集成电路亚45nm级铜互连线和扩散阻挡层的工艺方法。
背景技术
随着超大规模集成电路的不断发展,RC延迟成为限制器件速度性能的一个重要因素。铜由于其高导电性和电迁移性已被用来代替铝做为集成电路的互连线。但是铜与硅的粘附性较差且铜在二氧化硅中扩散速度极快,并在低至200℃时即可与硅发生反应生成高电阻的铜硅化合物,此外铜不会形成抗腐蚀的氧化层,会使设备的性能恶化。因此需要在铜与硅之间插入扩散阻挡层来阻止铜的扩散以及增强铜的粘附性,同时还需要在铜的表面制备抗氧化层来防止铜的腐蚀。
用于制备扩散阻挡层薄膜的方法主要有物理气相沉积(PVD)、化学气相沉积(CVD)、原子层沉积(ALD)、电镀以及化学镀等。化学镀具有操作温度低,镀层覆盖率好,操作简单,成本低等优点,故本发明采用化学镀法制备扩散阻挡层薄膜。
化学镀制备超大规模集成电路铜互连扩散阻挡层的研究较多,国内外对化学镀制备扩散阻挡层的研究多集中在镍系和钴系合金,如:A.Abdel Aal等人研究了不同元素比例的CoWP薄膜的性能,Yishi Tao等人研究了W的加入对NiP阻挡性能的影响,Tetsuya Osaka等人发现W的加入会降低NiB合金的阻挡性能,Dian-long Liu等人研究了Ni–Mo–P合金的阻挡性能。对于扩散阻挡层薄膜的研究已有很多报道,然而能满足ULSI-Cu布线的理想扩散阻挡层材料仍未找到,寻找性能优异的扩散阻挡层材料仍是业内人士的重要任务。
Ni-B薄膜具有良好的导电性,粘附性,低的孔隙率和优异的电学性能,钴具有高熔点、高热导率,优异的电磁学性能。故本发明采用化学镀方法制备NiCoB薄膜,以期获得具有良好的粘附性能,电学性能,阻挡效果优异的阻挡层薄膜。
发明内容
本发明利用化学镀制备NiCoB薄膜,主要目的是获得电学性能优异,具有良好粘附性能和阻挡性能的NiCoB扩散阻挡层薄膜。
为了实现上述目的,在化学镀之前首先对单晶硅基体进行清洗、粗化、敏化、活化和解胶等预处理。其次用化学镀方法制备NiCoB/Cu/NiCoB/Si样品。
化学镀制备NiCoB薄膜的工艺参数为:
络合剂:Na3C6H5O7·2H2O:41.174g/L,C4O6H4KNa·4H2O:14.1115g/L;
主盐:NiSO4·6H2O:28.914g/L,CoSO4·7H2O:8.433g/L;
还原剂:DMAB:2.3568g/L;
加速剂:NH4F:1g/L;
pH缓冲剂:CH3COONa·3H2O:15g/L;
温度:80℃;
pH:11。
化学镀铜的工艺参数为:
主盐:CuSO4·2H2O:20g/L;
络合剂:EDTA-2Na:39g/L;
还原剂:CHOCOOH·H2O:13.8g/L;
加速剂:C6H8O7·H2O:21g/L;
稳定剂:2,2’-联吡啶:10mg/L;
温度:77.5℃;
pH:12.5;
搅拌:30r/min。
化学镀制备第一层NiCoB薄膜、第二层Cu薄膜、第三层NiCoB薄膜的沉积时间分别为5min,2min,20s。将NiCoB/Cu/NiCoB/Si样品氩气气氛中进行500℃~850℃的退火实验。
实验表明,本发明所制备的NiCoB薄膜具有良好的粘附性,电阻率低等优点,其阻挡铜扩散的失效温度高达850℃。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图对本发明的实验结果进行阐述,以使本发明的优点和特征能更易于被本领域技术人员理解,从而对本发明的保护范围做出更为清楚明确的界定。
图1是NiCoB/Cu/NiCoB/Si样品未退火及退火后的XRD图。从图1中可以看出,未退火时的薄膜几乎以非晶状态存在,500℃退火后出现了Ni3Si2,Ni2O3,B4Si,Ni3Si和CoB的衍射峰,600℃退火后Ni2O3,Ni3Si,CoB和在2θ为45°附近的Ni3Si2衍射峰消失,B4Si和2θ为28°附近的Ni3Si2的衍射峰强度增强,700℃退火后出现的NiSi衍射峰在750℃退火后又消失,750℃退火后出现了Ni4B3和NiSi2的衍射峰,原有的Ni3Si2衍射峰消失,800℃退火则只有Ni4B3和B4Si的衍射峰,850℃退火后则出现了Cu4Si衍射峰,表明此时NiCoB薄膜的阻挡性能已经失效,Cu粒子通过扩散阻挡层的晶粒边界到达Si基体并与之反应,生成了高电阻的Cu4Si。Ni2O3衍射峰的出现是因为退火过程中所用的保护气体为99.99%的Ar,在退火过程中部分表面的薄膜样品与微量的氧气发生反应所致。
图2是NiCoB/Cu/NiCoB/Si样品的方块电阻随退火温度的变化曲线。未退火时,NiCoB/Cu/NiCoB/Si样品的方块电阻为1.935Ω/□,可见NiCoB薄膜具有良好的电学性能。经退火后NiCoB/Cu/NiCoB/Si样品的方块电阻先减小后增大,500℃~700℃退火后方块电阻在0.8Ω/□左右变化,750℃和800℃退火后方块电阻分别增大到5.854Ω/□和6.724Ω/□,850℃退火后方块电阻急剧增大,表明此时NiCoB薄膜的阻挡性能已经失效,方块电阻的检测结果与XRD结果吻合。
图3是NiCoB/Cu/NiCoB/Si样品未退火时的表面形貌图,可以看出制备的多层薄膜较为致密。图4,图5,图6,图7,图8,图9分别为样品在500℃,600℃,700℃,750℃,800℃,850℃退火后的表面形貌图。500℃~750℃退火后样品的粗糙度不断增大,这是由于退火后有新的物相生成且晶粒尺寸变化以及再结晶的缘故。800℃退火后物相种类变少,颗粒变小样品表面呈现出丘陵状,850℃退火后在丘陵状的颗粒表面生成许多小颗粒,此时阻挡性能已经失效,这些小颗粒即为Cu4Si。
由实验结果可知本发明所制备的NiCoB阻挡层薄膜具有优异的电学性能且在800℃退火后仍然可以阻挡铜向硅扩散。
以上所述仅为本发明的实施例,并非因此限制本发明的专利范围,凡是利用本发明说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构或等效流程变换,或直接或间接运用在其他相关的技术领域,均同理包括在本发明的专利保护范围内。
