Abstract

A dual damascene process applying porous low-k dielectric is provided. A barrier layer, a porous low-k dielectric layer and an anti-reflective coating (ARC) layer are sequentially formed on a substrate having a patterned metal layer formed thereon. A portion of the ARC layer, the porous low-k dielectric layer and the barrier layer are sequentially etched to form a via therein, and the patterned metal layer is exposed. A carbon-hydrogen compound is used to form a carbon-hydrogen polymer in the via to protect the patterned metal layer. The ARC layer and the porous low-k dielectric layer surrounding the via are sequentially etched to a certain depth to form a trench. The trench and the via form a dual damascene opening. The carbon-hydrogen polymer is removed, and the dual damascene opening is filled with metal.

Description of the invention () Lijgj page domain (please read the notes on the back before filling this page) The present invention relates to a semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing process, and in particular to an application of a porous low dielectric constant Material (porous low-k dielectric) metal dual damascene process. Boarding-Plastic Background As the semiconductor process progresses in the direction of reducing the volume and increasing the degree of integration, the size of semiconductor components has also been reduced, making the parasitic capacitance between metal lines larger and larger. As a result, the problems of Resistance Capacitance Time Delay (RC delay), mutual interference between signals, and energy loss are prominent. In order to solve the problem of resistance-capacitance time delay, a low-resistance metal wire can be used in terms of resistance, and a low-constant dielectric material can be used in the dielectric layer between multiple metal interconnects to reduce parasitic capacitance. . In terms of reducing the resistance of metal wires, replacing copper wires with aluminum wires can reduce the resistance-capacitance time delay by about 35%. In terms of reducing the dielectric constant of the dielectric layer, if air (with a dielectric constant of 1 · 0) can be used as the material of the dielectric layer, the resistance-capacitance time delay can be reduced by about 10%. The use of constant materials has become a trend in recent years. Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Figures 1A-1D are schematic cross-sectional diagrams showing the manufacturing process of metal dual inlays that are conventionally applied with low dielectric constant materials. Referring to FIG. 1A, a metal circuit layer 100, a silicon nitride layer 110, a porous dielectric layer 120, a silicon oxynitride layer 130, and a photoresist layer (not shown in the figure) are sequentially formed on a substrate (not shown). Out). Next, the lithography etching process is performed, and the silicon oxynitride layer 130 and the porous substrate 2 are sequentially etched. This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210x297 mm) 574745 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy Explanation of the invention () The electrical layer 120 stops on the barrier layer 110 to form a via 140, and then removes the photoresist layer. In FIG. 1B, a layer of photoresist 150 is coated on the substrate, and the photoresist 150 is also filled in the interlayer window 140. Then, a lithography process is performed to form an opening 160 in the photoresist 15. In FIG. Ic, the photoresist 150 is used as an etching mask, and the silicon oxynitride layer 130 and a part of the porous dielectric layer 120 are sequentially etched to form a trench 70, and the photoresist 15 is removed. In FIG. 1D, the silicon nitride layer 110 exposed by the via window 14 is etched to form a silicon nitride layer u0a, so that the surface of the metal layer 100 is exposed. Then, a nitride button barrier layer (not shown in the figure) is formed to cover the surfaces of the trench 170 and the interlayer window 4 40, and then copper metal is filled in the interlayer window 140 and the trench 170 to form a metal dual damascene structure ( (Not shown). From the above, it can be known that when the exposed bottom nitride layer 110 is removed from the bottom surface of the trench 170, it will be invaded by money and electricity. Because of the porous structure of the porous dielectric layer 120 itself, the bottom surface 180 of the trench 170 is very thick, as shown in a partially enlarged view of the trench 170. In addition, at the edge of the trench 170, a rmcro trench 190 is generated due to the high frequency of the etching plasma impact. These various problems will affect the subsequent metallization process, making the deposited tantalum nitride barrier layer of poor quality, and may cause copper metal to diffuse into the porous dielectric layer 120 after the thermal process. , Cause the problem of short circuit. Or, a void may be generated between the tantalum nitride barrier layer and the porous dielectric layer 120, thereby reducing the circuit reliability. ° One of the solutions is to form an additional stop layer in the middle of the porous dielectric layer 120, such as a silicon nitride layer.

Description of the invention () The surface of the bottom of the trench will not be rough, so as to avoid the problems of short circuit of the metallization process and reduced reliability. Please refer to FIGS. 2A to 2D, which are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating a manufacturing process of a metal dual damascene using a low dielectric constant material according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2A, a metal circuit layer 200, a barrier layer 210, a porous dielectric layer 220, an anti-reflection layer 230, and a photoresist layer (not shown in the figure) are sequentially formed on a substrate (not shown in the figure). . Next, a lithography process is performed to pattern the photoresist layer, and then the patterned photoresist layer is used as an etching mask to sequentially etch the anti-reflection layer 230 and the porous dielectric layer 220, and stop on the barrier layer 210 to form a dielectric. Layer window (via) 140, and then remove the photoresist layer. The material of the above-mentioned barrier layer 210 may be, for example, silicon nitride or silicon carbide, and a method of forming the barrier layer 210 may be, for example, a chemical vapor deposition method. The material of the porous dielectric layer 220 may be various organic or inorganic porous low dielectric constant materials, such as hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) and methyl sequioxane; MSQ), JSR's LKD products or porous SiLK, etc. The material of the anti-reflection layer 230 is an inorganic anti-reflection material, such as silicon oxynitride, and the formation method thereof may be, for example, a chemical vapor deposition method. Because in the current deep sub-micron semiconductor manufacturing process, most of the metal used for multi-metal interconnects is copper metal, it is necessary to form a barrier layer 210 above the metal circuit layer 200 to prevent copper metal from diffusing into the porous dielectric layer 220. And cause the problem of leakage or even short circuit. At the same time, when the porous dielectric layer 220 is etched, the barrier layer 210 can also protect the metal circuit layer 200 so that its surface does not react with the etching plasma, causing a problem of increased resistance. Please refer to Figure 2B, with the anti-reflection layer 230 as the etching mask, and the etching medium 7 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) »— — — — — — — — — — — — — -1 ί — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — I — (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) 574745 Printed by the Consumers ’Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V. Invention Note that the barrier layer 210 exposed by the layer window 240 forms an anti-reflection layer 230a and a barrier layer 210a. Since the anti-reflection layer 230 is used as an etching mask to etch the barrier layer 210, after the etching is completed, the thickness of the anti-reflection layer 230a will be smaller than that of the original anti-reflection layer 230. Referring to FIG. 2C, a hydrocarbon polymer 250 is deposited on the surface of the exposed metal circuit layer 200 using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method using a hydrocarbon as a reactive gas source to protect the metal circuit layer 200. The above-mentioned hydrocarbons may be, for example, gases such as ethylene or acetylene. Then, a photoresist 260 is coated on the substrate, and the photoresist 260 is also filled in the via 240. Then, a lithography process is performed to form an opening 270 in the photoresist layer 260. Referring to FIG. 2D, with the photoresist layer 260 as an etching mask, the exposed anti-reflection layer 23a and the porous dielectric layer 220 under it are etched to form a trench 280. Therefore, the via window 240 and the trench 280 constitute a dual-mosaic opening. Next, the photoresist 260 and the hydrocarbon 250 are removed, the surface of the metal circuit layer 200 is exposed, and then the anti-reflection layer 230a is removed. Here, because the carbon coating polymer 250 does not contain fluorine or other halogens, when the hydrocarbon polymer 250 is removed by plasma, no intermediate products containing fluorine or halogen are generated and react with the surface of the metal circuit layer 200. Therefore, the resistance value of the metal wiring layer is increased.
