Detailed Description
Based on the above research, the embodiment of the invention provides a metal interconnection structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the figures and specific examples. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description. It is to be noted, however, that the drawings are designed in a simplified form and are not to scale, but rather are to be construed in an illustrative and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.
The embodiment of the invention provides a manufacturing method of a metal interconnection structure, as shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the following steps:
providing a substrate, and forming a dielectric layer and a first metal layer on the substrate, wherein the dielectric layer surrounds the first metal layer; etching the dielectric layer to form an opening exposing the first metal layer;
forming a first barrier layer, wherein the first barrier layer at least covers the side wall and the bottom of the opening;

forming a second barrier layer at least covering the first metal layer and the first barrier layer exposed by the opening;
and forming a second metal layer in the opening.
The metal interconnection structure and the method for fabricating the same according to the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to fig. 2 to 6.
As shown in fig. 2, a substrate 10 is provided, a dielectric layer 11 and a first metal layer 12 are formed on the substrate 10, and the dielectric layer 11 surrounds the first metal layer 12; and etching the dielectric layer 11 to form an opening 40 exposing the first metal layer 12, wherein the opening 40 is a step hole, for example.
The material of the substrate 10 may be single crystal silicon (Si), single crystal germanium (Ge), silicon germanium (GeSi), or silicon carbide (SiC), or silicon-on-insulator (SOI), germanium-on-insulator (GOI); or may be other materials such as group III-V compounds such as gallium arsenide. In the present embodiment, the material of the substrate 10 is preferably single crystal silicon (Si).
Specifically, first, a first dielectric layer 11a is formed on the substrate 10, and then, a first metal layer 12 is formed on the first dielectric layer 11 a. In this embodiment, the first dielectric layer 11a may be formed by a chemical vapor deposition method, a material of the first dielectric layer 11a includes, but is not limited to, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or the like, and in this embodiment, a material of the first dielectric layer 11a is preferably silicon oxide. The material of the first metal material layer includes, but is not limited to, aluminum, and may be formed by a sputtering method, for example.
In this embodiment, after the first metal layer 12 is formed, a hard mask layer 13, an anti-reflection layer 14 and an insulating layer 15 are sequentially formed on the first metal layer 12, and the insulating layer 15 covers the first metal layer 12, the hard mask layer 13, the anti-reflection layer 14 and the first dielectric layer 11 a. A hard mask layer 13 is formed on the first metal layer 12. The hard mask layer 13 has strong hardness and stable performance and is not easy to be etched away by chemical reaction with dry etching gas, and the first metal layer 12 is easy to be etched (including longitudinal etching and transverse etching) by chemical reaction with the dry etching gas, so that the hard mask layer 13 is not easy to be etched and can well keep the appearance in the process of forming the opening 40 by the subsequent etching process, and the first metal layer 12 is etched downwards and is also easy to be etched towards two sides (side digging) simultaneously, thereby increasing the contact area between the subsequently formed second metal layer and the first metal layer 12, reducing the contact resistance between the first metal layer 12 and the second metal layer, improving the contact performance between the first metal layer 12 and the second metal layer, and finally improving the performance of the semiconductor device.
Next, a second dielectric layer 11b is formed, and the second dielectric layer 11b covers the insulating layer 15. In this embodiment, the material of the second dielectric layer 11b includes, but is not limited to, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, and the like, and in this embodiment, the material of the second dielectric layer 11b is preferably silicon oxide, and may be formed by, for example, a chemical vapor deposition method. In other embodiments, the second dielectric layer 11b may be formed directly on the first metal layer 12, and the second dielectric layer11b cover the first dielectric layer 11a and the first metal layer 12. The present invention is not limited to this, and the corresponding layer may be configured according to the actual process requirement. And etching the dielectric layer 11 to form an opening 40 exposing the first metal layer 12. An over-etch may be used to expose the first metal layer 12 sufficiently. As shown in fig. 3, a first barrier layer 21 is formed, and the first barrier layer 21 covers at least the sidewall and the bottom of the opening 40, and the opening 40 is, for example, a step hole. The first barrier layer 21 on the sidewalls of the opening 40 serves to prevent diffusion of a second metal layer (e.g., copper) subsequently formed in the opening 40 into the dielectric layer 11, thereby preventing electromigration failure due to diffusion. The first barrier layer 21 is, for example, TaN or TiN. The barrier layer 21 can be formed by magnetron sputtering or PECVD deposition. In an embodiment of the invention, the first barrier layer is formed by a magnetron sputtering method, and the thickness of the first barrier layer is 250-350 angstroms. The target material is tantalum (Ta) material or titanium (Ti) material. Specifically, the metal interconnection structure with the opening 40 is cleaned, and then sent to a magnetron sputtering chamber of a magnetron sputtering device for sputtering to form the first barrier layer 21. Setting specific parameters: the power range of the bias power supply is 700W-900W, and the reaction gas is nitrogen (N)2) The flow rate is 21-26 sccm, and the flow rate of argon (Ar) as a working gas is 450-550 sccm. The higher bias power of this embodiment improves the step coverage of the first barrier layer 21.
The first metal layer 12 is, for example, aluminum (Al), and the dielectric layer 11 is etched to form an opening 40, so that AlF is easily generated when the first metal layer 12 is exposed (in order to fully expose, over-etching is adopted), for example, dry etching is adopted, and a gas containing fluorine (F) or a polymer containing fluorine (F) is used in a dry etching process, and is in contact with aluminum (Al)3(ii) a Oxidation of aluminum (Al) to Al2O3. Residue 31 is wrapped together during the formation of first barrier layer 21 at the bottom of opening 40. The residue 31 includes, for example: AlF3And Al2O3And the residue 31 can greatly increase the contact resistance between the first metal layer 12 and the subsequently formed second metal layer, and the performance and the service life of the finally formed semiconductor device are affected by the overlarge contact resistance. Thus requiring removal at opening 40A bottom first barrier layer 21 to remove residue 31. In this embodiment, only one film formation (first barrier layer 21) process is performed before removing the first barrier layer 21 at the bottom of the opening 40, which reduces the number of processes for forming a barrier layer once and improves WPH (yield per hour) compared to the two film formation processes (for example, forming a TaN barrier layer and then forming a Ta barrier layer) in the process for connecting a copper metal layer and a copper metal layer.
As shown in fig. 4, the first barrier layer 21 at the bottom of the opening 40 is removed to remove the residue 31. The method still adopts magnetron sputtering, and comprises the following steps: under the condition that the bias power supply power range is 900W-1200W, the flow rate of the working gas argon (Ar) is 450 sccm-550 sccm. The higher bias power and argon (Ar) flow increases the ability to penetrate (bombard) the first barrier layer 21 at the bottom of the opening 40. The first barrier layer 21 at the bottom of the opening 40 is bombardedly removed by argon (Ar) plasma sputtering to remove the residue 31. The removal of the residue 31 substantially reduces the contact resistance of the first metal layer 12 and the subsequently formed second metal layer. The bombardment process forms impurities, and part of the impurities are adsorbed on the side wall of the open hole. Specifically, the first barrier layer 21 and the residue 31 at the bottom of the opening 40 are removed by bombardment, a part of the first barrier layer is bombarded to the outside of the opening 40, and a part of the first barrier layer splashes (adsorbs) to the sidewall of the opening 40, and the impurities 32 are mainly concentrated at the position below the sidewall of the opening 40. The impurities 32 comprise the constituents of the residue 31 and the splashed aluminum particles, i.e. the impurities 32 comprise AlF3、Al2O3And particles of Al and the like. If the impurity 32 is exposed in the opening 40, the second metal layer (e.g., copper) subsequently formed in the opening 40 is in direct contact with the impurity 32 (containing metal), and the copper has high activity and diffuses into the impurity 32 to easily cause electromigration failure or cause unstable resistance of the second metal layer.
As shown in fig. 5, a second barrier layer 22 is formed, the second barrier layer 22 covers at least the bottom of the opening 40 and the first barrier layer 21, and the impurities 32 are encapsulated during the process of covering the first barrier layer 21 by the second barrier layer 22, that is, the impurities 32 are encapsulated between the first barrier layer 21 and the second barrier layer 22. In this way, the second metal layer (e.g., copper) subsequently formed in the opening 40 does not directly contact the impurity 32 (containing metal), thereby preventing the resistance of the second metal layer from being unstable due to the exposed impurity.
The second barrier layer is TaN or TiN, and the thickness of the second barrier layer is 200-300 angstroms. The method for forming the second barrier layer adopts a magnetron sputtering method, and the specific parameters comprise: the power range of the bias power supply is 700W-900W, and the reaction gas is nitrogen (N)2) The flow rate is 21sccm to 26sccm, and the flow rate of the working gas argon (Ar) is 450sccm to 550 sccm. The higher bias power of this embodiment improves the step coverage of the second barrier layer 22.
During the process of forming the first barrier layer 21 and the second barrier layer 22, a reaction gas of nitrogen (N)2) The flow rate is higher (for example, 21sccm to 26sccm), so that the nitridation is more sufficient during the formation of the TaN or TiN barrier layer, the crystal growth of the first barrier layer 21 and the second barrier layer 22 is more active, and the formed first barrier layer 21 and the second barrier layer 22 are more dense, so that the diffusion prevention capability is higher. On the one hand, diffusion of the subsequently formed second metal layer 50 (e.g. copper) into the dielectric layer 11 is prevented, and on the other hand interdiffusion of the first and second metal layers is prevented.
As shown in fig. 6, a second metal layer 50 is formed within the opening 40. The second metal layer 50 is, for example, copper, and is formed by an electroplating process; the second metal layer 50 may also be tungsten. The second metal layer 50 fills the opening 40, a second barrier layer 22 (located at the bottom of the opening 40) is formed between the second metal layer 50 and the first metal layer 12, and the first metal layer 12 and the second metal layer 50 are electrically connected through the second barrier layer 22.
The second barrier layer 22, on one hand, wraps the impurity 32, and prevents the resistance of the second metal layer 50 from being unstable due to the exposed leakage of the impurity 32; on the other hand, the crystal growth process of the second barrier layer 22 is more active, and the formed second barrier layer 22 is more dense, so that the diffusion prevention capability thereof is stronger (the diffusion prevention capability of the second barrier layer 22 is enhanced), and the mutual diffusion of the first metal layer 12 and the second metal layer 50 can be effectively prevented to form a metal alloy. Aluminum is difficult to block due to large crystal grains and uneven surface appearance. In this embodiment, the second barrier layer is TaN or TiN, and the formed second barrier layer 22 is more compact and has stronger diffusion prevention capability, so that mutual diffusion of the copper metal layer and the aluminum metal layer can be effectively prevented; the interdiffusion of the tungsten metal layer and the aluminum metal layer can be effectively prevented.
The present invention also provides a metal interconnection structure, as shown in fig. 6, including:
the semiconductor device comprises a substrate 10, a dielectric layer 11 and a first metal layer 12, wherein the dielectric layer 11 is positioned on the substrate 10 and surrounds the first metal layer 12;

and a second metal layer 50 located within the opening 40.
The material of the first metal layer 12 includes aluminum, and the material of the second metal layer 50 includes copper.

And removing the first barrier layer at the bottom of the opening to remove residues.
