However, it is extremely small, so electromigration is a minor disadvantage. Therefore, in addition to low electromigration. So far it has been studied to hope that the recombination of the South-South diffusion rate in the intermetallic metal and the use of copper belong to it.

Description of the invention (3), the grooves are formed to be double-embedded as well as grooves, and the tops with three as a one-touch etch resistance are used to prevent the via hole from being etched. A method to guide the silicon nitride is to form the first layer using the nitrogen. The dream layer is formed by passing through the nitride stone. The first layer of the dioxygen pattern can be deposited; the conductive line is etched (except for filling .Diamond and metal filling process, in which π is also formed to form a etched dielectric barrier layer which can be oxidized. The etched through the three formations are formed into a pattern for conducting on the surface of the substrate to the etched barrier.

Top layer; etched and etched has been etched into the road and via hole process, among which conductive lines. A buried recessed method The central layer is used as the three-layer structure to allow the top layer to be first formed by light, and a barrier layer to be formed. The other layer is the first layer, whereby the first layer is formed, and the vias are characterized and formed. The interlayer is then blocked by a sinker and the system is simultaneously deposited with gold in a multi-layer interconnect dielectric layer in the insulating layer. The bottom layer can be a via hole and etch the electrical pattern. Can be connected to the middle layer will still use the shape The formed conductive line is again used as an etched via hole pattern and the etch stop layer is exposed and etched with two steps of silicon and nitrogen, and the etching path is buried at this time by the via hole opening to form an interconnection charge. The setting is based on this. It should be a nitride stone, a three-layer dielectric layer dielectric, and the top dielectric hole of the three-layer dielectric on the pattern of the dielectric can be pattern-aligned. The dielectric layer and the insulation layer are etched in the rest of the time. The oxide dielectric is oxidized here. The nitride is in the middle of it.) (Dual embedding is an improvement on single embedding, because it allows conductive grooves and dielectric holes. It is filled with metal at the same time, so the process steps are omitted. Based on the fact that copper is extremely difficult to reactive ion etching treatment,

The copper between the copper of the interconnect metal and the button of the barrier layer is removed at a faster rate than tantalum or tantalum-based materials, so the difference will cause a concave effect and corrosion on the surface of the copper interconnect metal. This results in serious formation of highly reliable copper large integrated circuit wires. It is difficult to reduce the size of the device, the aluminum via metallization of the via plug and / or the wiring will encounter high resistivity S metal conductivity migration problems. Copper films provide low resistivity and are shown to be extremely electromechanical. Therefore, it is quite attractive for the anti-electricity of super-large integrated circuit guide cars, especially when the device size is close to deep sub-micron materials. However, the dry etching process of copper film has not been successfully developed in size yet. One of the main reasons for this application has not been widely considered. It is a copper non-volatile copper halide compound 'wet etching and sputtering. Based on this, it cannot be engraved with copper. --- Concave Effect Copper in the Device The present invention teaches a method for reducing corrosion of copper surfaces used in interconnect metals and thus improving the surface flatness and surface uniformity of semiconductor surfaces. —Double copper inlay.

[Summary of the invention] One of the main objects of the present invention is to reduce the concave anticorrosion of the double-buried copper surface. Another object of the present invention is to improve the flatness and uniformity of the double-buried copper surface. According to the object of the present invention, a method for forming a copper double-buried interconnect structure is provided. An intermetal dielectric layer is deposited on the substrate. In a first embodiment of the present invention, a capping layer is deposited on the intermetal dielectric layer, and the dual embedded structure is formed through the capping layer and is embedded in the intermetal dielectric layer. A barrier layer is blanket-deposited on the double silver buried structure including the surface of the surrounding cover layer '. The copper for the double buried structure is deposited and polished. The polishing is performed on the surface of the barrier layer, and secondly, the surface of the copper longitudinal section of the double-embedded structure is reduced (peeled off) by a wet etching technique. The surface of copper is now lower than the surface of the barrier, and a thin film is blanket-deposited on the copper and the barrier layer. The film was removed by chemical mechanical polishing to form the surface of the copper longitudinal section of the dual embedded structure. The surface above the copper (including the remaining deposited film) was hard enough to make the copper surface concave. And corrosion can be avoided.

Description of the invention (8) 22 Copper layer 24 Copper 26 Copper longitudinal section 28 Groove 3 0 Thin film 3 4 Thin film layer 4 0 Intermetal dielectric layer 42 Barrier layer 4 4 Copper layer [preferred implementation Explanation of Examples] Referring now particularly to Fig. 1, there is shown a cross-sectional view of a double-embedded structure that has been fabricated on the top end of a metal surface 10. The dual embedded structure includes a via hole portion 12 (which is in direct contact with the underlying metal layer 10), and an interconnect wire portion 14 (which is located above the via hole structure 12). The dual embedded structure has been formed in an intermetal dielectric layer 16. A cover layer 18 has been deposited on the surface of the intermetal dielectric layer before the longitudinal section of the double-re-buried structure is formed in the intermetal dielectric layer. The requirements for the cover layer must be the same as for a typical copper barrier layer, which can be easily removed from the intermetal dielectric surface by etching or chemical mechanical polishing. For the aforementioned materials that can be used in the barrier layer, silicon nitride meets the application requirements of this specification. A further requirement is that the cover layer is deposited to a suitable thickness, such as between about 100 and 300 angstroms, which allows for slight over-polishing into the cover layer in subsequent processes, leaving behind Appropriate part of this overlay. The remaining cover layer can be used as a copper oxidation / diffusion protective layer

Description of the invention (9), so no separate processing step is required to deposit the layer. After the capping layer 18 is deposited, the double-embedded profile is formed through the capping layer 18 and into the dielectric layer 16. Figure 2 shows how the double-buried wall surface and the cover layer surface on the intermetal dielectric opening are lined with a tantalum-based barrier layer 20, and blanket-deposited over the barrier layer 20 A copper layer 22 that will fill the longitudinal section of the dual embedded structure and cover the surface of the barrier layer 20. Other barrier layers such as tungsten or tungsten compounds and titanium or titanium compounds can also be used. As described above, the present invention is not limited to the use of a giant-based barrier layer, and a barrier layer containing crane or titanium or other compounds may also be used. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the removal of excess copper from above the surface of the intermetal dielectric 16; the removal of the copper can be accomplished using a chemical mechanical polishing process. During this process, the barrier layer 20, which is located under the copper and above the intermetal dielectric surface, can be used as a barrier layer. Copper 2 4 now has a longitudinal section of a typical double embedded structure. Figure _4 shows a new copper profile 2 6 after the copper (as shown in profile 24, figure 3) has been lowered or partially stripped by the double-buried opening. Cross-section view in the opening. Copper stripping can be accomplished using wet chemicals such as using CH3C00H / NH4F or CC1 4 / DMS0 as the etching substance. Fig. 4 shows that a groove 28 is formed in the longitudinal section of the double embedded structure. The height of the grooves shown is about 18. The depth of the over-polished layer 28 must be equal to or less than the height of the cover layer 18 between 100 and 300 Angstroms. This move provides that appropriate margin of coverage.

Description of the invention (10) It must be noted that, with regard to the second and fourth embodiments of the present invention ', no cover layer 18 is deposited. For these embodiments, the cross-section of the formed copper groove layer and the surrounding area is a longitudinal section as shown in FIG. 4 except that it does not have a cover layer 18. In addition, the surface of the copper embedded structure will be lowered below the surface of the intermetal dielectric, which can be used to illustrate the second embodiment and the fourth embodiment of the present invention in detail (FIGS. 7 and 8) ) Clearly understand. Fig. 5 shows a cross section after a thin film 30 has been blanket-deposited on the tantalum-based barrier layer and the double-embedded longitudinal groove. The film 30 may include nitride nitride or any other suitable dielectric, such as shed silicate glass, phosphosilicate glass, borophosphosilicate glass, and plasma-assisted silicon nitride. The purpose of the film 30 is to prevent copper oxidation and protect the copper surface from chemical or mechanical damage. During the removal of the tantalum-based barrier layer 20 using chemical mechanical polishing, this film 30 on the trench provides adequate corrosion resistance to copper. Figure 6 shows a cross section in which the film 30 and the barrier layer 20 on the surface of the intermetal dielectric layer 16 have been partially removed by chemical mechanical polishing. It must be emphasized that a thin film layer 30 is appropriately left above the double-embedded longitudinal section 26 and is shaped to be sufficiently hard to resist the concave or corroded surface. The thin layers 18 and 30 will form a composite layer and prevent the diffusion and oxidation of the copper surface of the buried structure. It is necessary to pay attention to the re-inlaying. If the surface of the film 30 (Figure 5) is polished and extended to the cover layer, the cover layer on the surface of the chemical mechanical intermetal dielectric in the layer 8 will benefit; On how the layers have not been removed because the Xiao (indwelling) barrier layer is used; the work is oxidized or diffused
五、發明說明(11) 第7圖係表示本發明的第二個實施例。第7圖主要依照 如第1圖至第5圖先前所強調的相同步驟而達成,而其明顯 的差異在於覆蓋層並未被沈積於第7圖所示之剖面的縱斷 面中。第一個實施例的第5圖與第二個實施例的第7圖之間 的比較將使其顯而易見。 形成第7圖之雙重鑲埋結構的步驟如下所示: —沈積一金屬間介電層4 0於一金屬表面1 0 —形成雙重鑲埋縱斷面於所沈積的金屬間介電層4 0中 —沈積一阻障層4 2於該雙重鑲埋結構中以及該金屬間 介電層4 0表面上 —毯覆式地沈積一銅層4 4於該阻障層4 2上 —向下移除該過量的銅,達阻障層4 2的頂端表面 —形成一凹槽於包含在雙重鑲埋縱斷面内的銅中,因 而形成銅填充4 4於該雙重鑲埋縱斷面中。 第7圖係表示在阻障層4 2表面上以及在雙重鑲埋開口 中之凹陷銅4 4表面上的一薄膜層3 4的沈積。先前對於薄膜 層3 0 (第5圖)所做的所有解說係同樣適用於第7圖的薄膜 層3 4。在使用化學機械拋光移除钽基阻障層4 2期間,位於 溝渠上方的薄膜3 4將提供銅適當的耐腐蝕性。 第8圖表示在金屬間介電層4 0表面上的薄膜34(第7圖 )以及阻障金屬4 2已以化學機械拋光法拋光後,該雙重鑲 埋結構的橫剖面圖。在雙重鑲埋縱斷面上方的薄膜層3 4將 形成足夠硬而經得起表面凹狀或表面腐触之效應的表面。 因為第二個實施例並不提供銅氧化及擴散保護(該保護係V. Description of the Invention (11) FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 7 is mainly achieved according to the same steps as previously emphasized in Figs. 1 to 5, but the obvious difference is that the cover layer is not deposited in the longitudinal section of the cross section shown in Fig. 7. A comparison between Figure 5 of the first embodiment and Figure 7 of the second embodiment will make it obvious. The steps for forming the double-embedded structure of FIG. 7 are as follows:-deposit an intermetallic dielectric layer 40 on a metal surface 10-form a double-embedded longitudinal section on the deposited intermetallic dielectric layer 40 Medium—deposit a barrier layer 42 in the double-buried structure and on the surface of the intermetal dielectric layer 40— blanket deposit a copper layer 4 4 over the barrier layer 42—downward In addition to the excess copper, a top surface of the barrier layer 42 is formed to form a groove in the copper contained in the double-embedded longitudinal section, thereby forming a copper fill 44 in the double-embedded longitudinal section. Figure 7 shows the deposition of a thin film layer 34 on the surface of the barrier layer 42 and on the surface of the recessed copper 44 in the double buried opening. All previous explanations of the thin film layer 30 (Fig. 5) apply equally to the thin film layer 34 of Fig. 7. During the use of chemical mechanical polishing to remove the tantalum-based barrier layer 4 2, the thin film 3 4 located above the trench will provide proper corrosion resistance to copper. Fig. 8 shows a cross-sectional view of the double-embedded structure after the thin film 34 (Fig. 7) and the barrier metal 42 have been polished on the surface of the intermetal dielectric layer 40 by a chemical mechanical polishing method. The thin film layer 34 above the double-embedded longitudinal section will form a surface that is sufficiently hard to withstand the effects of concave or corroded surfaces. Because the second embodiment does not provide copper oxidation and diffusion protection (the protection system

Compared to nitriding; etched the base material of the button (after the material is removed, the dielectric is thin. The fourth real difference lies in this, which can reduce the number of cases), and the polishing results can be obtained. Compared with silicon nitride etched group-based materials (after the material is removed, the dielectric is on the dielectric. In this example, the remaining of the cover layer is not completely removed, so the layer is completed by the polishing of the thin film 34 It is then deposited on the surface. This layer is not shown in Figure 7. The thin layer of thin layer 34 will form a composite layer, which can make the dual surface resistant to diffusion and oxidation. The processing procedure of the example and The first embodiment (fig. 5) After deposition, the thin film 30 was removed using a plasma etching process—a chemical mechanical polishing process (compared to the first-best comprehensive flatness of the first embodiment). In terms of chemical machinery, in terms of etching, both chlorine and fluorine plasma etching can be used. (Included in the thin film layer). Chlorine plasma etching will provide a high degree of selectivity in etching. In the button base An over-etch can be completed on the cover layer or the degree of over-etch of the metal depends on the thickness of the film 30 in the dual-embedded structure. The processing sequence of this embodiment is the same as that of the second embodiment (Figure 7). 4 After deposition, a plasma etching process is used to remove a chemical Mechanical polishing process (compared to the second implementation of the excellent overall flatness is the first chemical mechanical. For etching, both chlorine and fluorine plasma etching can be used. (Included in the film layer), Chlorine plasma etching will provide a high degree of selectivity in the cover layer. Over-etching on the button base can be done on the cover layer or the degree of over-etching of the metal depends on the dual embedded structure.
