Definitions
- the present invention relates to the electroplating of copper on a semiconductor substrate. More specifically, it relates to a method of electroplating copper on the surface of a semiconductor substrate having an etching, the surface being covered with a copper diffusion barrier layer.
- Integrated circuits are generally manufactured by forming active semiconductor devices, in particular transistors, on the surface of silicon wafers (called “wafers” in English), said semiconductor devices being interconnected by a system of metal interconnects. submicron obtained by filling "trenches” hollowed out in the dielectric layers. The width of these lines is generally of the order of one to several hundreds of nanometers.
- the submicron interconnect elements are generally formed using the Damascene method (see, for example, S. Wolf, “Silicon Processing for the VLSI Era”, Vol. 4, (2002), p.671-687) in a succession of steps comprising: etching the lines on the silicon surface; depositing an insulating dielectric layer (generally consisting of oxide or silicon nitride); depositing a barrier layer for preventing migration of the copper; depositing a thin layer of metallic copper, called the seed layer; the filling of the trenches by copper electrodeposition in an acidic medium; and - removing the excess copper by polishing.
- an insulating dielectric layer generally consisting of oxide or silicon nitride
- a barrier layer for preventing migration of the copper
- the filling of the trenches by copper electrodeposition in an acidic medium and - removing the excess copper by polishing.
- the barrier layer is generally too high in resistance to electrochemically homogeneous or uniform copper deposition on the trench scale, mainly because of the ohmic drop phenomenon.
- the high strength of the barrier layer results from the high resistivity of the material and its low thickness. It is therefore generally necessary, prior to the step of electroplating the copper, to cover the barrier layer with a thin layer of metallic copper, called the seed layer, in order to improve the conductivity of the substrate to be coated during the electroplating filling step.
- copper electroplating techniques traditionally used for trench filling with copper, after the step of forming a copper seed layer, can not be implemented on resistive substrates such as barrier layers.
- the trenches When the trenches reach a size too small, it becomes difficult or impossible to deposit a copper sprouting layer prior to filling, due to insufficient space in the device. For example, if the trench has a width of 20 nm, the thickness of the seed layer can not exceed 5 nm. However, copper vapor deposition processes do not allow the deposition of layers as thin and regular thickness (deposit compliant).
- the invention finds particular application in the field of integrated circuits for the manufacture of interconnection elements whose size does not exceed one micron.
- the invention finds particular application for the electroplating of copper in trenches and other small elements such as small vias whose surface width (also called aperture diameter) of the semiconductor is less than 200 nm.
- the TSVs In the prior art there are electrolytes for the metallization of "vias traverses" (called “through silicon vias” or TSV in English) necessary for the integration of electronic chips in three dimensions. These structures are much larger than the submicron structures targeted by the present invention: the TSVs generally have an opening diameter of the order of 10 to 250 microns. The electrolytes used to fill the TSVs have specific chemistries and are not suitable for filling much smaller structures such as interconnection lines.
- WO 2007/034116 discloses electrodeposition compositions which make it possible to produce adherent, uniform and uniform deposits of copper germination layers on resistive barriers.
- the formulations described in this document are designed for the production of ultra-thin deposits, usually of a thickness of less than 20 nm, on substrates having resistivities of the order of a few tens of ohms / square. It has been found that such formulations can not be used during the subsequent step of filling the trenches with copper: voids ("voids”) or vacuum lines (“seams”) appear in fact in the copper deposit with this type of electrolyte.
- voids voids
- suams vacuum lines
- WO 2007/096390 discloses electrodeposition compositions which make it possible to fill lines and vias with copper in a single step on the copper barrier.
- the formulations described in this prior art are specifically designed to address the problem of filling lines and low volume vias.
- the compositions illustrated by the examples mentioned in WO 2007/096390 do not allow the filling of trenches in a time compatible with industrial production.
- the present invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing a new electrolyte meeting both the filling constraints generated by the fineness of certain trenches, and the profitability requirements of the industry. on the filling times.
- the traditional electroplating of copper comprises the application of a current to a wafer previously covered with a seed layer and immersed in an acid bath of copper sulphate containing additives, mainly accelerator, suppressor type, leveler or brightener.
- additives mainly accelerator, suppressor type, leveler or brightener.
- the prior art suggests that, in order to perform the filling of the patterns, it is preferable to employ an accelerator and a suppressor in combination, and in some cases a three-component system consisting of an accelerator, a suppressor and a leveler.
- a continuous copper layer will generally have a greater thickness at the top of the trench on the surface of the substrate. It is desirable to limit the thickness of the layer at the plane portion because the electroplating step is followed by a polishing step necessary to remove the excess copper present on the planar portion.
- the thickness decrease of the copper present on the flat part of the semiconductor substrates and the absence of defects in the copper deposit in trenches are very important elements in the manufacture of integrated circuits.
- Suppressors and accelerators are therefore incorporated in electrolytic baths, to respectively slow down and / or accelerate the deposition of copper at the desired locations of the trench.
- a suppressor can adsorb to the surface to be coated (a barrier layer or a copper seed layer for example), and begin to slow the growth of copper.
- the adsorption of the suppressor on the surface causes a partial masking of the surface, which has the effect of slowing the growth of the copper locally.
- Typical suppressors are, for example, polymers of high molecular weight, generally of the order of 2000 g / mol to 8000 g / mol, such as polypropylenes glycols, polyethylenes glycols and polyethers. They are usually added to electroplating solutions to be specifically adsorbed on a copper seed layer, previously deposited on the surface of the wafer, to slow the growth kinetics of copper at the entrance of the structures of lines of interconnection (opening of trenches).
- Suppressors that slow the growth of copper on the surface of trenches may be associated with smaller molecules, accelerators, which will have the property of catalysing the growth of copper at the bottom of the etched patterns.
- the accelerator is chosen to adsorb on a copper seed layer or on a layer of barrier material.
- a copper-specific accelerator acts on the modification of copper reduction mechanisms, which results in an increase in kinetics.
- the accelerator generally comprises small molecules with a high diffusion rate that reach the bottom of the structures faster than the suppressors, which are large molecules.
- the most commonly used accelerator is bis (3-sulfopropyl) disulfide (also called SPS).
- Biprydine is already known as a complexing agent for copper to stabilize copper ions in plating baths (WO 2007/034116). It is also known as a brightener for the metallization of steel with copper when it is used at a very high concentration, of the order of 100 mM. (US 3,617,451). However, its suppressor properties have never been described.
- imidazole and bipyridine are active as soon as the substrate is polarized and begin to slow copper growth from the beginning of the process.
