【發明所屬之技術領域】 且特別有關於,種 本發__,明係有關於一種半導體元件 具有銅内連線的半導體元件輿其製法 【先前技術】 =::體裝置中’除了半導體元件更精細的結構與更 高的積集度外,降低内連線電阻變得越來越重要.而降低 内連線電阻的方法之一,就是在半導體裝置中實際使用嵌 入式銅内連線,而其中的銅用作内連線材料且^二内速線 製造中的鑲嵌製程中。 其中内連線應該具有較高的電子遷移電阻,以降低上 述内連線電阻,·而嵌入式銅内連線適用於此情況。 如日本專利jp — A-2000-150522 與-2002-75995 所述, 將包^鋁及銀的添加金屬的銅合金用於銅内連線中,以得 到較高的電子遷移電阻;在此技術裡,嵌入層間介電膜中 的溝槽與/或介層洞的銅膜,形成於由銅合金所形成的晶 種膜(seed film)上’如銅鋁合金或銅銀合金,或結合 其它金屬膜形成於銅膜上,以使此添加金屬原子可擴散至 銅膜裡。 本發明發現上述使用晶種膜或其它金屬膜的技術,除 對内連線中的電子遷移電阻外,對應力遷移電阻幾乎沒有 改善。 更明確地’由於内連線部份的介層洞通常形成於内連 線的上表面,以與其上方的内連線連結,所以在介層洞與 内連線上表面的接觸窗中就會存在機械應力;而此利用晶
1247359 五、發明說明(2) 種膜來擴散金屬原子的技術,並未提供足夠金屬原子的量 到達内連線表面,因此,銅内連線中微小洞穴的移動會使 介層洞所作用的應力在内連線的上表面產生空隙,此空隙 即使在銅内連線的上表面覆蓋銅矽化物層的日本專利 JP-A-2000-58544 或-2000- 150517 中也會產生。 另一方面,使用經由銅内連線之上表面將金屬原子擴 散至銅内連線以改善電子遷移電阻的技術,由於應力遷移 之故故二隙會在銅内連線的底表面產生,且應力遷移所 產生的空隙較常見於較大表面積的銅内連線裡,即較寬或 較長的内連線中。 【發明内容】 :鑑於上述習知技術中的問冑,本發明的目的之一就 Ϊ的庫力ΐίί銅内連線的半導體裂置,以抑制銅内連線 中的應力遷移電子遷移。 m 一: 目的’本發明提供一種半導體裝置,包括- f加^屬;^ 1包括添加金屬原子與添加的矽原子,其中該 Γ近的密度在該第一銅内連線的底表面與側表面 的矽原子的密 3線的上表面附近,以及其中該添加 一銅内μ第一銅内連線的上表面附近高於該第 j円運線的底表面與側表面附近。 根據本發明的丰導 屬原子與矽原子#裝置,銅内連線中包括的添加金 内連線四個表7… 個表面附近以改善銅 為達上、;κ的電子遷移阻抗與應力遷移阻抗。 κ目的,本發明尚提供一種半導體裝置的製造
