Abstract

A method of removing excess metal, particularly copper, in the fabrication of interconnects has been achieved. In accordance with the objects of this invention, a new method of removing excess metal in the formation of an interconnect has been achieved. A semiconductor substrate is provided. A dielectric layer is provided overlying the semiconductor substrate trenches are formed in this dielectric layer for planned damascene or dual damascene interconnects. A barrier layer is provided overlying the dielectric layer and lining the trenches. A metal layer is provided overlying the barrier layer and completely filling the trenches. A masking layer is deposited overlying the metal layer. The masking layer is patterned to form a mask that only overlies the trenches. The metal layer is etched down where not covered by the mask. This etching down is partial so that the barrier layer is not exposed. This etching down leaves the metal layer underlying the mask thicker than the metal layer not underlying the mask. The masking layer is etched away. The metal layer and the barrier layer are polished down to the top surface of the dielectric layer to form the planned interconnects, and the integrated circuit is completed.

Description of the invention (1) Background of the invention: (1) Technical field of the invention The present invention relates to the manufacture of integrated circuits, and in particular to a method of removing the formation of conductive wires in integrated circuit layers. 2) The description of the know-how is used in the wire book of integrated circuit technology, because the insertion and insertion technology that is mature with the more traditional aluminum has the copper wire embedding method to allow the 'such' wire pattern in the formed steel wire. The dielectric material is covered by an etch product, and the trench filling or grinding operation is used to remove the remaining trenches. In the final step, excess copper will cause problems' necessary to remove all copper systems in the metal short range, however, the canals are no longer completely filled, the others can be seen in Figure 1, which shows a cross-sectional view; Description—both double-layer embedded and metal traces pass through the same gold.—Semiconductor substrate 10 'consisting of semiconductor base layer'. These microelectronic layers are conductive traces 22. The method is formed to cover the half-circuit structure. In addition, in the production of more specific components, the method of embedding and double metal is used. 'The use of copper increases' This is the base ratio, the low resistivity relationship of copper' Replaces aluminum in many process designs ° No need to directly etch the wire pattern to copper to the dielectric material, and then the copper system is sunk and touched to the dielectric Electricity, in the end, an excessive amount of steel, so that the metal is only removed when the system is removed, is tied to the middle of this technique. If too much copper is removed from the upper and outer trench sides, the problem of trench reliability will occur.

Description of the invention (2) The system is deposited and covered on the semiconducting clock 苴 #, Λ L Λ 1 After this dielectric ⑥ 18, as on the bottom 1G, the conductive trace 22 is formed to pass through the Olympic Games. The dielectric layer i8 'trench system is formed in the supply-transmission. 4 ^ ^' 2 2 'The lower and narrower part of the trench provides this connection to the next level of conductive traces. Trenches are taller and wider * " A pattern next to the conductive traces of the integrated circuit. The barrier 26 has been deposited to cover the dielectric layer 18 and is arranged along the trench. The barrier layer is typically composed of a metal that can inhibit the diffusion of copper. This is important because copper ions will diffuse into the dielectric. Electrical layers 18, such as typical silicon dihalide, under normal conditions and cause reliability problems. This is a disadvantageous property of steel when compared to aluminum. In the conventional technology, the barrier layer 26 is typically composed of a combination of tantalum and a nitride button, or a combination of titanium and titanium nitride or a single nitride button. The copper layer 30 is deposited to cover the barrier layer 26 and completely fills the trench. A large excess of copper must be deposited to ensure that the trench is completely filled. This excess copper layer 30 must be removed. Definition of completed wire traces Note Even a large excess of copper, one in the steel layer, a significant low depression 32 in the surface area of 30 will produce 'because of the large trenches being filled. Referring now to FIG. 2, the excess copper layer 30 and the barrier layer 26 are ground away. A typical step is a chemical mechanical polishing. This step removes excess metal from the top by chemical and mechanical action. Ideally, once all the excessive copper layer 30 and barrier layer 26 are polished away, the step is stopped due to the end point, that is, when the copper layer 30 and barrier layer 26 staying are limited to the trench, the trench The thickness of the processed copper layer 30 should be the same as the thickness of the dielectric layer 18 455994. V. The description of the invention (3) The thickness is the same. "Actually, 'the thickness of some copper lost in the trench is not called the depression effect. Ideal 'This causes significant reliability issues. There are two main reasons for the sag effect. First, the resistance, such as tantalum and titanium, and the dielectric layer 18 is lower than that of the copper layer 30. In addition, there is unavoidable non-uniformity of chemical mechanical polishing through this. After the test, an excessive polishing must be performed. Layer 26 has been removed to cover the entire wafer and the entire wafer. Those two factors with low polishing rates contributed to significant copper thickness loss. Second * due to the use of polishing pads in chemical mechanical polishing The low recess 32 on the top surface of the copper layer 30 is simultaneously covered by the abrasive layer 30 on the non-ditch area. Therefore, when the non-ditch and barrier layer 26 are completely removed, the steel in the trench is completely Layers are below the thickness of the dielectric layer i 8. Several conventional techniques have revealed the fabrication of wires and flat layers. Those methods use a mask layer to increase flatness. No.45, No.9, No.9, No.9, No. 08, No. 81, No. 111, etc. revealed a flat oxide, the square six shallow trench insulation layer (ST I) and the inner dielectric layer, which are used-connected, and the light is P ". The oxide is After being covered by the exposed area of the photoresist mask, a chemical mechanical polishing process was completed. The flat wall was treated with No. 5, 792, 707. Chung taught a flat dielectric layer using a reflective mask and a chemical mechanical polishing. Buddy's No. 5, 151, 168 by Gi 1 ton and others revealed a kind of knapsack which can be avoided. The abrasive rate of the barrier layer 2 6 on the circuit will pass through the wafer because the barrier has been ensured. Barrier 26 is in the trench. The compressibility of the copper layer has been reduced, although the copper layer 30 3 0 has been ground, the method of 4,945, k, which is used for the back cover of L, is being removed. The process of US patents is on the side.

The metal layer is Etching to the surface of the dielectric layer, a mask system is formed to cover the via hole or contact plug area, and a second etching system is performed to remove any metal residue 'and then the mask system is removed. U.S. Patent No. 5, 74 7, 383 discloses a process for manufacturing a wire layer, which is a conductive material that is deposited over an insulating layer and fills a contact window. The conductive material is etched to the insulating material without additional For the etching, a protective mask layer of magnesium monoxide or silicon oxide is formed to protect the contact plugs, a second etching system is performed to remove the remaining conductive material, and then the protective mask is removed.
