Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for forming a barrier metal layer of an integrated circuit. In a conventional method for forming a barrier metal layer, a titanium layer and a CVD titanium nitride layer are sequentially formed prior to filling the plug metal layer. However, because the CVD titanium nitride layer is easy to absorb moisture be oxidized in air, the metal nucleation layer formed subsequently is poor in thickness and uniformity. The present invention provides a novel method for forming a barrier metal layer, which forms an ultra thin titanium nitride layer on a conventional CVD titanium nitride layer by a physical vapor phase deposition (PVD). The PVD ultra thin titanium nitride layer protects the CVD titanium nitride layer thereby reducing the aging effect of the CVD titanium nitride layer.

Description of the invention (/) Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a metal barrier layer of S-type integrated circuits', especially to a method known in the art. A chemical vapor deposition titanium nitride layer forms an ultra-thin physical vapor deposition titanium nitride layer with a multilayer barrier layer structure. Background of the invention:-In general, 'Semiconductor components with integrated circuit density increase and volume reduction' can significantly improve the speed of electrical operation and reduce the production cost of electronic products' is based on minimizing component size and high accumulation Degree has always been one of the most important development directions in the manufacture of integrated circuits. However, the miniaturization of the component size has prevented the surface of the wafer from providing enough area to make the required wire structure, and the demand for multilayer wire structures has become increasingly important. In addition, the development of new methods or new materials that are superior to traditional processes is also Issues that urgently need to be addressed today. Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau Employee Consumer Cooperatives of the Ministry of Economic Affairs — — — — — _ ^ -------— Order · (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) In the current integrated circuit manufacturing process, Both the traditional aluminum metal process and the newly developed copper metal process are facing ^ problem at the same time, which is the spike phenomenon generated between the metal and the silicon interface. The cause of the spike phenomenon is: when the metal When (aluminum or copper) is deposited on the sand surface, and the temperature is higher than the mutual solubility temperature of the two, silicon has a solid solubility for the metal, and the silicon will enter the metal layer by the diffusion effect. The metal will also return to the legacy left by the diffusion. The gap makes the interface between silicon and metal form spikes. If the length of these spikes is too long, it may cause a short circuit. One way to solve this problem is to add a barrier metal between the metal and the sand. (Barrier metal) material, and in the current metal trench manufacturing process of integrated circuits, usually a physical vapor deposition (Ph) is sequentially formed on a silicon substrate before the plug metal tungsten (W) is deposited. ysical Vapor Deposition; PVD) of titanium (Ti) metal layer 2 scales are applicable to China National Examination (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 male β 4 2185 3 Department of five shellfish consumer B7 invention description >) and a chemical gas Phase deposited (Chemical Vapor Deposition; CVD) titanium nitride (TiN) layer, wherein the titanium nitride layer formed by CVD will have better step coverage, and the titanium metal layer has a high contact with silicon Resistance, however, when an organic titanium-containing reaction gas (such as: TDMAT (Tetrakis-Dimethylamino-Titanium; Ti- (N (CH3) 2) 4)) is selected to form the CVD-titanium nitride layer, The titanium nitride film formed by the cracking method is porous and often contains a large amount of carbon (C) and oxygen (0) impurities, which significantly affects its resistance. Although the subsequent treatment with N2 plasma can improve the CVD-nitriding The nature of the titanium layer reduces the content of C and O and its excessively high resistance. However, the plasma treatment still cannot completely eliminate the phenomenon that the CVD-titanium nitride layer absorbs moisture and oxidation in the atmosphere. As the time of exposure to the atmosphere increases, the Thallium will increase accordingly, and this phenomenon is called the aging effect of the nitride film. The phenomenon that the titanium nitride film is easy to absorb moisture and easy to oxidize will make it impossible to form a metal nucleation layer in the subsequent fabrication. A metal nucleation layer uniformly covering the CVD-titanium nitride layer will affect the subsequent metal trench process and the properties of the plug metal, so the invention provides a new metal barrier layer The manufacturing method is used to reduce the aging effect of the CVD-titanium nitride layer. Description of the invention: The main object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a metal barrier layer of an integrated circuit, so as to form a metal barrier layer having a relatively low and uniformly distributed resistance 値.

The above process steps are covered with an ultra-thin PVD-titanium nitride layer 60 on the CVD-titanium nitride barrier layer 50. The purpose is to use an organic titanium-containing reaction gas as a precursor of the CVD deposition method. The CVD-titanium nitride layer 50 formed by thermal cracking has porosity and often contains a large amount of carbon (C) and oxygen (0) impurities that significantly affect the resistance 値, although it is subsequently processed by% plasma. Can reduce the content of C and 0 in the CVD-titanium nitride layer 50 and its excessively high resistance, but the plasma treatment still cannot completely eliminate the CVD-titanium nitride layer 50 absorbing water in the atmosphere Gas and oxidation phenomena, the reaction will make the resistance of the CVD-titanium nitride layer 50 increase with the increase of time exposed to the atmosphere, which is generally known as the aging effect. In addition, the presence of C and 0 in the CVD-titanium nitride barrier layer and an excessively high resistance 値 will make the film uniformity of the subsequent metal nucleation layer poor, and lead to poor filling of the plug metal layer. Causes poor conductivity of the metal layer and the ability to resist electron migration, and the plug metal layer is also easily damaged by uranium invasion due to subsequent CMP etchback [1 treatment or chemical wet treatment, resulting in depressions, holes or fractures, etc. The problem affects the reliability of the device and the yield of the product.

The purpose is to form a thin film formed by the PVD deposition method. There is no phenomenon that the thin film formed by the CVD deposition method is easy to absorb moisture and oxidize. Therefore, the PVD-ultra-thin titanium nitride layer 60 described in the present invention is used to cover the CVD-titanium nitride layer 50, which is mainly used for protection.

To avoid the above-mentioned problems such as depressions, holes or fractures. The effect of the PVD-ultra-thin titanium nitride layer 60 on suppressing the increase in resistance can be referred to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a wafer with or without deposition of the PVD-ultra-thin titanium nitride layer 60 during metal trench production. The graph of the relative relationship between the time of exposure to the atmosphere and the change in sheet resistance (Rs), where the horizontal axis represents the time of exposure to the atmosphere, and the vertical axis represents the change in sheet resistance (Rs (t) / Rs ( 0)), which is the ratio 片 of the sheet resistance 値 (Rs (t)) to the initial sheet resistance 値 (Rs⑼) at time ⑼. The curve A in Figure 2 is the change of the sheet resistance with time when only the CVD-titanium nitride barrier layer 50 is provided, and the curve B is the sheet resistance with time when it is covered with an ultra-thin PVD-titanium nitride layer 60. The amount of change is increased.
