Description

用於銅電鍍之晶圓預處理Wafer pretreatment for copper plating

本發明係關於一種用於半導體晶圓上之通孔及溝槽特徵之銅電鍍之預處理方法。本發明之方法特別適宜電鍍通孔(包括穿矽通孔)或具有高縱橫比之彼等特徵。This invention relates to a method of pretreating copper plating for through-hole and trench features on a semiconductor wafer. The method of the present invention is particularly suitable for electroplating vias (including through vias) or features having a high aspect ratio.

銅電鍍係用於製造半導體互連之主要方法之一。於銅電鍍期間,有時難以獲得對晶圓上之通孔、溝槽及其他連接結構之理想填充結果。Copper plating is one of the main methods used to fabricate semiconductor interconnects. During copper plating, it is sometimes difficult to obtain ideal fill results for vias, trenches, and other connection structures on the wafer.

除化學調配及鍍液組成之方法以外,預處理方法對於獲得所需填充結果極為重要。預處理之目的係防止氣泡存留於通孔底部。In addition to methods of chemical formulation and bath composition, pretreatment methods are extremely important to achieve the desired fill results. The purpose of the pretreatment is to prevent bubbles from remaining in the bottom of the through hole.

總所周知,利用電解質溶液難以將空氣自通孔底部移除。US 6,562,222教示酸性硫酸銅電解質因包含於電鍍溶液中之硫酸而可輕易溶於銅晶種層。因此,現時工業預處理實務係將晶圓浸沒於表面活性劑溶液或去離子水中,然後實施銅電鍍。例如,JP 2008001963揭示一種含有銨及表面活性劑之預處理溶液。US 6,491,806將去離子水用於晶圓預處理中,將氣泡自通孔中之填充水消除。於電鍍期間,銅離子必須自通孔或溝槽之頂部擴散以鍍覆該通孔或溝槽之底部。然而,有些銅會沉積於通孔或溝槽之頂部側壁,因側壁附近之銅離子濃度較底部高之故。此導致夾斷,形成空隙或接縫。諸如加速劑、抑制劑及均勻劑之添加劑可抑制頂部及頂部側壁沉積之速率以獲得無空隙結果。然而,由於通孔之較高縱橫比,側壁會收窄銅離子通道,弱化銅離子之擴散,及增加避免通孔或溝槽中之空隙或接縫之困難度。因此,需求更穩定之溶液。It is well known that it is difficult to remove air from the bottom of the through hole using an electrolyte solution. US 6,562,222 teaches that an acidic copper sulfate electrolyte is readily soluble in the copper seed layer due to the sulfuric acid contained in the plating solution. Therefore, the current industrial pretreatment practice is to immerse the wafer in a surfactant solution or deionized water and then perform copper plating. For example, JP 2008001963 discloses a pretreatment solution containing ammonium and a surfactant. US 6,491,806 uses deionized water for wafer pretreatment to remove bubbles from the fill water in the vias. During electroplating, copper ions must diffuse from the top of the via or trench to plate the bottom of the via or trench. However, some copper will deposit on the top sidewall of the via or trench because the concentration of copper ions near the sidewall is higher than the bottom. This causes pinching to form voids or seams. Additives such as accelerators, inhibitors, and homogenizers can inhibit the rate of top and top sidewall deposition to achieve void-free results. However, due to the higher aspect ratio of the vias, the sidewalls narrow the copper ion channels, weaken the diffusion of copper ions, and increase the difficulty of avoiding voids or seams in the vias or trenches. Therefore, a more stable solution is required.

US 2007/235343 A1揭示藉由包含含硫有機化合物之溶液之預處理。視需要地,銅離子亦可以0.01至約5.0 g/L之範圍存在於預處理溶液中。US 2007/235343 A1 discloses the pretreatment by a solution comprising a sulfur-containing organic compound. Copper ions may also be present in the pretreatment solution in the range of 0.01 to about 5.0 g/L, as desired.

鑒於所述之問題,本發明提供一種用於晶圓上之通孔及溝槽特徵之銅電鍍以減少空隙及缺陷之預處理方法,其包括以預處理溶液填充該通孔或溝槽特徵,其中該預處理溶液包含10 g/L至300 g/L之銅離子。In view of the problems described, the present invention provides a pretreatment method for copper plating of vias and trench features on a wafer to reduce voids and defects, including filling the via or trench features with a pretreatment solution, Wherein the pretreatment solution contains 10 g/L to 300 g/L of copper ions.

本發明亦提供一種關於銅電鍍之方法,一種包含銅離子之銅電鍍預處理溶液及包含10 g/L至300 g/L之銅離子之溶液於銅電鍍前之預處理中之用途。The invention also provides a method for copper electroplating, a copper electroplating pretreatment solution containing copper ions and a solution containing a solution of 10 g/L to 300 g/L of copper ions for pretreatment before copper plating.

由於上述問題及先前技藝中之教示,先前並未考慮將銅電解質及銅離子用於電鍍通孔或溝槽之預處理方法中。然而,出乎意料地,發現於晶圓之通孔或溝槽鍍銅時利用包含充分濃度之銅離子之預處理溶液可有效地避免空隙或接縫發生。於預處理步驟之後,通孔及溝槽填滿預處理溶液。於電鍍期間,銅離子存留於通孔底部,補償受限之銅離子自電鍍溶液向通孔底部之擴散,及立即可用作用於通孔底部表面上之電鍍之銅源。因此,可更輕易地獲得尤其對於具有較大縱橫比或深度之通孔或溝槽之理想及所需填充結果。Due to the above problems and teachings in the prior art, copper electrolytes and copper ions have not previously been considered for use in pretreatment methods for plating through holes or trenches. Unexpectedly, however, it has been found that the use of a pretreatment solution containing a sufficient concentration of copper ions in the through-hole or trench copper plating of the wafer can effectively prevent voids or seams from occurring. After the pretreatment step, the vias and trenches fill the pretreatment solution. During electroplating, copper ions remain in the bottom of the via, compensating for the diffusion of restricted copper ions from the plating solution to the bottom of the via, and can be used immediately as a source of copper for plating on the bottom surface of the via. Therefore, the ideal and desired filling results, especially for through holes or trenches having a large aspect ratio or depth, can be obtained more easily.

由於銅離子存留於通孔或溝槽中,故本發明可減少電鍍所需之時間。亦可獲得較少過電鍍及增加均勻性。電鍍常見之逐步增加電流密度並不需要且可自電鍍方法開始時即使用較高電流密度。此外,於電鍍方法期間可以較大範圍控制電鍍溶液中之添加劑之量而不導致非所欲結果。Since copper ions remain in the vias or trenches, the present invention can reduce the time required for electroplating. Less plating and increased uniformity are also obtained. The gradual increase in current density common in electroplating is not required and a higher current density can be used from the beginning of the electroplating process. In addition, the amount of additive in the plating solution can be controlled over a wide range during the plating process without causing undesirable results.

用於本發明方法中之銅電鍍預處理溶液含有10 g/L至300 g/L之銅離子,較佳,10 g/L至136 g/L之銅離子,更佳,20 g/L至200 g/L,甚至更佳,30 g/L至136 g/L銅離子。且較好,該預處理溶液具有較用於銅電鍍方法中之電解質高之銅濃度。現時用於銅電鍍方法中之電解質一般含有30 g/L至100 g/L之銅離子。The copper plating pretreatment solution used in the method of the present invention contains 10 g/L to 300 g/L of copper ions, preferably 10 g/L to 136 g/L of copper ions, more preferably 20 g/L to 200 g/L, even better, 30 g/L to 136 g/L copper ion. Also preferably, the pretreatment solution has a higher copper concentration than the electrolyte used in the copper plating process. The electrolyte currently used in copper plating processes generally contains 30 g/L to 100 g/L of copper ions.

銅離子可藉由常用於半導體領域中之任何來源獲得,包括,但非限於,硫酸銅、烷磺酸銅、磷酸銅、氟硼酸銅、及氰化銅或類似的銅鹽。較好銅離子可藉由硫酸銅或甲磺酸銅提供。Copper ions can be obtained by any source commonly used in the semiconductor field including, but not limited to, copper sulfate, copper alkane sulfonate, copper phosphate, copper fluoroborate, and copper cyanide or similar copper salts. Preferred copper ions can be provided by copper sulphate or copper methane sulfonate.

In each example, the wafers tested were pretreated with a pretreatment solution and subsequently immersed in deionized water (DI water) for about 2 seconds. By "pretreated" herein is meant, for example, contact, wetting or rinsing. For Comparative Examples 1 and 3, the step of immersing in DI water was omitted because the pretreatment solutions in both cases were ultrapure water. The wafer is then immersed in a plating solution for electroplating. The anode is a copper anode. Except for Examples 15 and 16 and Comparative Examples 5 and 6, the power supply provided an average current density of 0.3 ASD (amps per square decimeter). The plating was allowed to last for about 40 minutes. For Example 15 and Comparative Example 5, the power supply provided an average current density of 0.1 ASD. The plating was allowed to continue for about 30 minutes. For Example 16 and Comparative Example 6, the power supply provided an average current density of 0.8 ASD. The plating was allowed to continue for about 30 minutes.
