Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing processes, and particularly relates to Al for copper interconnection lines2O3a/ZrN double-layer diffusion impervious layer and a preparation method thereof.
Background
At present, Ta/TaN double-layer barrier layers are mainly adopted for copper interconnection of integrated circuits, wherein TaN is used as the barrier layer, and Ta is used as an adhesion layer, so that the copper interconnection of the integrated circuits has higher thermal stability and good barrier property. However, the coverage uniformity of Ta deposition is not good, which easily causes the blockage of the wire trench, the back end causes copper electroplating difficulty, holes are easily generated, and the circuit performance is seriously affected. In addition, the unevenness of Ta easily causes that most of the groove filling material is Ta rather than Cu, and the resistance value of the Ta metal wire is greatly increased, so that the benefit brought by the Cu wire is offset. As the feature size of integrated circuits is reduced, Ta/TaN bilayer barrier layers have not been able to meet the requirements of interconnect processes. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new barrier layer material with lower resistivity, better thermal stability and thinner thickness to improve the reliability of the integrated circuit.
Amorphous ZrN has good thermal stability, lower resistivity than TaN and TiN films, and standard heat of formation at 298K of-87.3 kcal/mal, and is widely used as a diffusion barrier layer of copper interconnect lines. However, the binary nitride is easily recrystallized at a medium temperature (about 600 ℃), promotes diffusion of Cu atoms, and in addition, ZrN is poorly bonded to a silicon substrate and is easily exfoliated at a high temperature, which limits the application of ZrN in a copper interconnection process.
