Description of the invention (ll " " " 'S' --- the technical field to which the invention belongs ^ The present invention relates to a method for preparing a flat electroplated metal layer and a damascene structure and a metal suitable for these methods The electroplating composition, in particular, relates to a preparation method for avoiding the formation of uneven electroplated copper surface after electrochemical electroplating and a metal electroplating composition suitable for the method. Two # The prior art metal wire structure is used in semiconductor integrated circuits. An indispensable part, each electronic component must be electrically connected through appropriate internal connecting wires to perform the desired function. In general, the methods of making metal wires are nothing more than the following two : One is to perform a deposition and engraving process to form a metal wire pattern, and then to form a dielectric layer to provide isolation; the other is to first form a groove in the dielectric layer for making metal wires, and then Those who apply a deposition and planarization polishing process to form a metal wire pattern in the groove. Among them, since the latter process is to form the groove before The metal wire is made in it and is called "damascene" metal wire process. Because the wire process has the property of flattening the substrate surface, it is beneficial to the subsequent optical lithography process. The circuit process is becoming denser and multi-layered, and its role has become increasingly important. The wire grooves and contact window openings are first defined in the dielectric layer, and then they are opened into a double structure of metal wires and contact plugs. The carbon-inlaid wire process has the advantages of greatly simplifying the process steps and improving the production efficiency. It has also become an eager adopter in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Therefore, the inlay wire technology has been

In this way, a copper layer pattern 18 such as No. 2 and No. 2 is formed, such as a dog bone-b, and a void 19 is generated in the medium. For trenches with a high depth-to-width ratio (asPeci ratio), the trench filling capability will be worse. Focusing on the conductor structure entering the sub-micron era, the challenges for copper electroplating technology are also increasing day by day; for example, in order to avoid voids in the deposition process of lines (Hnes) or conductors (γ as), these trenches are filled. The grooves must be processed from bottom to top; and the thin film 'deposited on the wafer surface' must also be very uniform, and the thickness difference must be controlled within a percentage point (a sigma) or less; on the other hand, For electrochemical dry plating4, the deposition rate of copper must be precisely controlled to meet the economic benefits of mass production by wafer manufacturers. Electrochemical Piping (ECP) is a process that transfers copper in a chemical solution electrolyte to the surface of the wafer (cathode), making a thin film that is repetitive, void-free, and can be immediately chemically and mechanically polished to provide maximum manufacturing quality. Rate and productivity. Figures 2a to 2d show cross-sectional views of the process of electroplating copper from bottom to top in a trench using electrochemical plating. Referring to FIG. 23, reference numeral 20 represents a semiconductor substrate, such as a silicon wafer. A dielectric layer M, such as a stone oxide layer, is formed on the semiconductor substrate 20. Next, using a lithography and etching process, a first trench 24 and a second trench 25 are formed in the dielectric acoustic 2 2. The first trench & line width is larger than the second trench 25. small. Then copper plating is performed, and the beans are deposited as shown in Figs. 2b and 2c. The copper layer 26 is filled from the bottom of the trench ^^ First, a copper layer 26 is formed as shown in Fig. 2b, and then the via window 24 is filled to form a first layer.

The ical polishing is shown in the figure. In the first case, the ion is emitted in the groove 24 and the second line is flat. An obvious treatment is in the trench copper layer 28. First of all, the grooves 2 and 5 need to be polished in this step. 5. The invention is explained in (4) 2c copper layer 28. As above, the trench is sealed and recorded in the same way, so that the line width is 80, and the copper layer after electroplating on the surface of the original trench is applied. 2d is filled with copper. Due to the above-mentioned copper dissociation, the image obtained after electroplating has the following disadvantages: a plating layer on the surface of the dielectric layer 22 is used to determine the excess copper in the second trench plating, and the waste of the process. Added post-processing, such as the traditional mechanical and electrical research contents. The groove above the groove is passed through the recessed portion 8 1 of the groove 2 5. For example, CMP) 〇 The surface type of the groove 2 4 and the deposition rate above the groove is not high. The state generation recess is because the second trench is larger than the second trench 25 and is filled with copper. However, in the next step, the formed dielectric layer 22 is removed from the burden of surface treatment, and the throughput is 〇 The deposition rate is poor for electroplating and convex electroplated surfaces are smoother. Therefore, it is necessary to mechanically grind a second groove 25, which is the same as that of the electroplating machine 25, which is the same as the electroplating machine. The surface of the copper dielectric layer 22 of the key bond is also required, so the surface electric chain is redundant. Reduction of planarization: In order to solve the above problem, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a planarized metal layer. The metal plating composition can be formed after the plating process is completed.
