Description of the invention (2) The manufacturing method of the metal plug provided by the present invention can be achieved by the manufacturing process provided by the existing machine, and there is no need to update the equipment. According to the above purpose of the present invention, a method for manufacturing copper-embedded interconnects is proposed, which is applicable to a semiconductor process. The method is to first form an "inner dielectric layer on the substrate" Layer D | _e | ectrjc (LD), and then forming a first dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer, and then forming a first two dielectric layer on the second dielectric layer. In a lithographic etching process, the first 2 electrical layer, the second dielectric layer and the third dielectric layer are etched to form a trench, and the bottom 2 of the trench exposes the inner dielectric layer. Then, a conformal fourth dielectric layer is formed in the trench. Fill the trench with a copper metal layer. A fifth dielectric layer is formed to cover the third dielectric layer, the fourth dielectric layer, and the copper metal layer. A sixth dielectric layer is formed on the fifth dielectric layer, a dielectric window is formed in the fifth dielectric layer and the sixth dielectric layer and the copper metal layer is exposed. A thin barrier metal layer is formed on the sidewall of the via, and the via is filled with copper metal to form a plug. A thin barrier metal layer is not necessary here and can be omitted. An anisotropic etchback removes the sixth dielectric layer, the fifth dielectric layer, and the third dielectric layer. A seventh dielectric layer is formed to cover the sidewalls of the second dielectric layer, the fourth dielectric layer, and the plug. Finally, an eighth dielectric layer is formed to cover the seventh dielectric layer. The manufacturing method of copper inlaid interconnects proposed by the present invention is to replace the traditional metal barrier material with a dielectric material, such as silicon oxycarbide, and use a strong barrier layer to prevent the diffusion of copper metal. In addition, in order to form a long-lasting and effective barrier layer, the barrier layer is formed in the interlayer window without prior knowledge.

It is possible to form a conformal protective layer on the side and bottom of the opening, but this step is not necessary and will be added to the process as needed. A metal material is used to fill the opening to form a metal structure within the opening. The metal structure is a plug. The metal structure has side edges, a bottom surface, and a top surface. The first dielectric layer is removed, and the first A method of a dielectric layer includes a process, and the etching process is selective plasma etching using nitrogen and hydrogen as a gas source.

Description of the invention () The dielectric layer 206 is formed on the dielectric layer 204. The material for forming the dielectric layer 206 includes a multi-porous silicon-containing low dielectric constant material formed by chemical vapor deposition. Please continue to refer to FIG. 5. In a lithographic etching process, the dielectric layer 206 is etched to form a dielectric window 21 in the dielectric layer 206 and the metal wires 202 are exposed. The width is smaller than the width of the metal wire 202. A thin metal layer 212 is formed on the sidewall of the interlayer window 210, and a metal layer 214 is filled in the interlayer window 210 to form a plug 216. The material of the metal layer 214 may be copper, aluminum-copper alloy, tungsten metal, or the like. The thin metal layer 212 is used as an adhesive layer, and the metal layer 214 formed on the inner side of the thin metal layer 212 can be protected in the subsequent etching process. The thin metal layer 212 is not a necessary material layer in the present invention, and whether it is formed depends on the requirements. In this embodiment, the metal layer 214 is formed using copper metal, and the method for forming the copper metal layer 214 is the same as the method for forming the copper metal layer 112 in the first embodiment. The material of the thin metal layer 212 is selected from the group consisting of buttons, titanium, nitride buttons, titanium nitride, and any combination thereof. In this embodiment, the button metal is used to form a thin metal layer 212, and the thickness of the button metal layer is between 20 angstroms and 100 angstroms. Referring to FIG. 6, a non-uniform selective etching is performed, and the dielectric layer 2q4 is used as an etch stop layer, and the dielectric layer 206 is removed. The non-uniform selective etching system uses nitrogen and hydrogen as the etching process gases. The purpose is to prevent the copper metal layer 202 exposed during the etching process from being oxidized by the etchant. Next, a common dielectric layer 218 is formed to cover the dielectric layer 204 and the plug 216. The material for forming the dielectric layer 218 includes silicon carbide oxide material formed by chemical vapor deposition.

Description of the invention () (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Electrical layer 218 is a barrier layer, which replaces the conventional one The metal barrier layer is made of a steel metal material that blocks the copper metal layer 214 and diffuses into the surrounding dielectric layer in a subsequent process. A dielectric layer 22 is formed to cover the dielectric layer 218 and the plug 216. The material for forming the dielectric layer 220 includes a porous silicon-containing low dielectric constant material formed by chemical vapor deposition. Finally, the dielectric layers 218 and 220 above the plug 216 are removed by a planarization process until the top surface of the plug 124 is exposed. Line 1 According to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is known that the manufacturing method of the copper inlaid interconnects proposed by the present invention is to replace the traditional metal barrier material with a dielectric material, such as silicon carbon oxide, to enhance the barrier layer. Barrier to copper metal diffusion. In addition, in today's processes where the process margin has decreased significantly, it is quite difficult to form a barrier layer of sufficient thickness in a via window and to maintain the process margin of subsequent metal filling. An effective P-leveling layer does not take the practice of forming a barrier layer in the dielectric window first, but after the copper metal plug is completed, the dielectric layer surrounding the plug is removed and then formed on the sidewall of the plug. The barrier layer can greatly increase the process margin and increase the yield of the semiconductor device process. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs In addition to the above advantages, ’even if the dielectric layer has changed its electrical properties due to copper diffusion, it is not affected because the dielectric material around the copper metal plug is removed. The electrical properties of the newly formed dielectric layer will depend on the design and will no longer be affected by copper metal diffusion. Of course, the present invention is not only applicable to the process of copper metal plugs or the process of copper metal interconnects. Any process that requires the formation of a barrier layer around a metal layer can be used to form a barrier around the metal layer according to the manufacturing method disclosed in the present invention.
