Abstract
針對基板所形成之溝渠及孔洞,以良好填埋性且效率良好地埋入Cu或Cu合金來形成低阻抗之Cu配線。
一種針對在表面形成有具備既定圖案之溝渠以及形成於溝渠之底部的孔洞之膜的基板,將Cu或Cu合金埋入溝渠及孔洞來形成Cu配線之方法,係具有:形成障蔽膜之工序;於障蔽膜表面形成由Ru等所構成的被潤濕層之工序;接著,藉由PVD在被潤濕層表面形成Cu系種晶膜之工序;接著,加熱基板,讓Cu系種晶膜流入孔洞內來填埋孔洞之工序;以及接著,在基板表面藉由可在被潤濕層上流動之條件的PVD來形成Cu或Cu合金所構成之Cu系膜,以將Cu系膜填埋於該溝渠內之工序。
Description
本發明係關於一種將Cu或Cu合金埋入至基板所形成之溝渠及孔洞來形成Cu配線之Cu配線形成方法及半導體裝置之製造方法。
半導體元件之製造中,會反覆進行對半導體晶圓(以下僅稱為晶圓)之成膜處理或蝕刻處理等之各種處理來製造所欲的元件,但近來,對應於半導體元件的高速化、配線圖案的微細化、高積體化的要求,而尋求要有配線的低阻抗化(導電性提升)及電子遷移耐性的提升。
對應於此般要點,便使用導電性較鋁(Al)或鎢(W)要高(阻抗較低)且電子遷移耐性優異的銅(Cu)於配線材料。
Cu配線形成方法提案有一種以物理性蒸鍍法(PVD)之電漿濺鍍在晶圓所形成之具有溝渠及孔洞的層間絕緣膜整面形成鉭金屬、鈦(Ti)、氮化鉭(TaN)、氮化鈦(TiN)等所構成之障蔽膜,在障蔽膜上同樣地藉由電漿濺鍍來形成Cu種晶膜,進一步在其上施予Cu鍍覆來完全地填埋溝渠或孔洞,並藉由CMP(Chemical Polishing)處理來研磨處理以去除晶圓表面多餘的銅薄膜及障蔽膜之技術(例如專利文獻1)。
但是,半導體元件的設計規則乃日益微細化,而Cu相對於障蔽膜潤濕性較差,且PVD本質上階段覆蓋性較低,故上述專利文獻1所揭示的技術要健全地在溝渠或孔洞形成Cu種晶層乃有所困難,而Cu種晶層會使得溝渠或孔洞的入口變得狹窄。然後,在此狀態下施以Cu鍍覆來將Cu填埋於溝渠或孔洞內時,填埋後的Cu膜便會產生空洞。
因此,便提出有一種以提升微細配線之填埋性為目的,以本質上階段覆蓋性良好的化學性蒸鍍法(CVD),來在Ta或TaN所構成之障蔽膜上形成
與Cu之潤濕性良好的Ru膜後,再填埋Cu之技術(例如專利文獻2)。
又,亦提出有一種在如此般以CVD形成Ru膜後,以離子化PVD(Ionized physical vapor deposition;iPVD)來填埋Cu膜之技術(例如專利文獻3)。藉由如此般以PVD來填埋Cu,便可較鍍覆而使得雜質較少,能讓Cu配線更加低阻抗化。
再者,亦提出有一種以化學性蒸鍍法(CVD)在形成有孔洞及溝渠般之凹部的層間絕緣膜整面形成障蔽膜及Ru等所構成之被潤濕層後,藉由PVD來成膜出Cu膜,之後再藉由加熱半導體晶圓,以讓表面的Cu回流來將Cu填埋至凹部的技術(例如專利文獻4)。
該等技術亦可適用於取代Cu膜而使用Cu合金膜來將Cu合金膜填埋於凹部內的情況。

藉由上述專利文獻3的技術,雖可對微細溝渠來埋入Cu,且可形成低阻抗之Cu配線,但使用此技術對形成有溝渠及孔洞般的雙重鑲嵌構造來將Cu同時埋入於溝渠及孔洞兩者的情況,會在溝渠底部形成粒狀Cu,而有阻礙對孔洞的Cu埋入之虞。
另一方面,上述專利文獻4的技術雖對微細溝渠有效,但在一片晶圓上是會混存有各種寬度之溝渠,而對寬度較廣的溝渠則效率較差。
從而,本發明所欲解決之課題在於提供一種可相對基板所形成之溝渠孔洞,以良好的埋入性且效率優異地埋入Cu或Cu合金,以形成低阻抗之Cu配線的Cu配線形成方法及半導體裝置之製造方法。
亦即,本發明第1觀點在於提供一種Cu配線形成方法,係針對在表面形成有具備既定圖案之溝渠以及形成於該溝渠之底部的孔洞之膜的基板,
將Cu或Cu合金埋入該溝渠及孔洞來形成Cu配線之Cu配線形成方法,具有:於該膜的表面形成障蔽膜之工序;接著,於該障蔽膜表面形成由會讓Cu或Cu合金潤濕之金屬材料所構成的被潤濕層之工序;接著,藉由PVD在該被潤濕層之表面形成Cu或Cu合金所構成之Cu系種晶膜之工序;接著,加熱形成有該Cu系種晶膜後之基板,讓該Cu系種晶膜流入該孔洞內來填埋該孔洞之工序;以及接著,在填埋該孔洞後之基板表面藉由可在該被潤濕層上流動之條件的PVD來形成Cu或Cu合金所構成之Cu系膜,以將該Cu系膜填埋於該溝渠內之工序。
本發明第2觀點在於提供一種半導體裝置之製造方法,係針對形成有具備形成有既定圖案之溝渠,且該溝渠底部與下層配線之間接續有孔洞之層間絕緣膜的基板,將Cu或Cu合金埋入該溝渠及孔洞來形成Cu配線以製造半導體裝置之半導體裝置之製造方法,具有:於該層間絕緣膜之表面形成障蔽膜之工序;接著,於該障蔽膜表面形成由會讓Cu或Cu合金潤濕之金屬材料所構成的被潤濕層之工序;接著,藉由PVD在被潤濕層之表面形成Cu或Cu合金所構成之Cu系種晶膜之工序;接著,加熱形成有該Cu系種晶膜後之基板,讓該Cu系種晶膜流入該孔洞內來填埋該孔洞之工序;接著,在填埋該孔洞後之基板表面藉由可在該被潤濕層上流動之條件的PVD來形成Cu或Cu合金所構成之Cu系膜,以將該Cu系膜填埋於該溝渠內之工序;以及接著,研磨整面而去除該溝渠以外之表面的該Cu系膜、該被潤濕層、以及該障蔽膜來形成Cu配線之工序。
該第1觀點及第2觀點中,較佳地,該被潤濕層係以膜厚為1~5nm之方式來加以形成。較佳地,該被潤濕層係以Ru或Co所構成。較佳地,該被潤濕層係藉由CVD來加以構成。
又,該第1觀點及第2觀點中,較佳地,該Cu系種晶膜流入該孔洞時之基板的加熱溫度為200~400℃。又,較佳地,該Cu系膜藉由將基板持續加熱至65~350℃而離子化之PVD來加以形成。
進一步地,該第1觀點及第2觀點中,較佳地,加熱形成有該Cu系種晶膜後之基板的工序以及形成該Cu系膜之工序係在同一裝置下加以進行。又,較佳地,形成該Cu系種晶膜之工序、加熱形成有該Cu系種晶膜後之基板的工序以及形成該Cu系膜之工序亦可在同一裝置下加以進行。
該第2觀點中,亦可進一步地具有將該Cu系膜埋入於該溝渠後而研磨整面前,在該Cu系膜上形成Cu或Cu合金所構成的增厚層之工序。
本發明第3觀點係提供一種記憶媒體,係在電腦上動作,記憶有用以控制Cu配線形成系統之程式的記憶媒體,其中該程式在實行時,會以進行如申請專利範圍第1至8項中任一項之Cu配線形成方法的方式,來讓電腦控制該Cu配線形成系統。
依本發明,便會在形成能使得Cu或Cu合金潤濕之被潤濕層厚,藉由形成、加熱Cu系種晶膜,而可讓Cu系種晶膜流動來讓Cu或Cu合金容易地埋入至微細孔洞。又,如此般地進行孔洞的填埋後,藉由針對Cu或Cu合金而能在潤濕性較佳的被潤濕層上流動的條件之PVD,較佳是高溫的iPVD來成膜Cu系膜而將Cu系膜埋入至溝渠,故不會產生對孔洞埋入的障礙等之不良,而可獲得良好的填埋性。又,由於係如此般地以PVD來埋入Cu或Cu合金,故能較鍍覆而使得雜質較少,可讓Cu配線更低阻抗化。又,藉由以高溫的iPVD來成膜,而能使得Cu或Cu合金的結晶尺寸變大,可讓Cu配線進一步低阻抗化。然後,藉由加熱讓Cu系種晶膜流動來埋入的只有孔洞,故不需要進行寬度較廣的溝渠所進行之回流情況般的效率不良之處理,而具有高效率。

以下,便參照添附圖式而就本發明實施形態來具體地加以說明。
<Cu配線製造方法之一實施形態>
首先,就本發明之Cu配線製造方法一實施形態,參照圖1之流程圖及2之工序剖面圖來加以說明。本實施形態中,係總括地將Cu或Cu合金埋入至溝渠及孔洞來形成Cu配線。
首先,準備在含下層配線211之下部構造201(細節省略)上形成有由SiO2膜、低介電率(Low-k)膜(SiCO、SiCOH等)等所構成之層間絕緣膜202,並於層間絕緣膜202以既定圖案形成有溝渠203及孔洞204之晶圓W(步驟1,圖2(a))。孔洞204係由溝渠203底部形成至下層配線211。此般晶圓W較佳係藉由Degas程序或Pre-Clean程序來去除絕緣膜表面的水分或蝕刻/灰化時的殘渣。
接著,在含溝渠203及孔洞204之表面的整面成膜出抑制Cu擴散之障蔽膜205(步驟2,圖2(b))。
障蔽膜205較佳係對Cu具有高障蔽性而低阻抗者,可適用有Ti膜、TiN膜、Ta膜、TaN膜、Ta/TaN之雙層膜、Mn膜。又,亦可適用有TaCN膜、W膜、WN膜、WCN膜、Zr膜、ZrN膜、V膜、VN膜、Nb膜、NbN膜等。障蔽膜可藉由例如將離子吸引至晶圓並成膜之離子化PVD(Ionized Physical Vapor Deposition;iPVD)來加以成膜。又,亦可以通常的鍍覆、離子披覆等其他的PVD來加以成膜,亦可以CVD或ALD(Atomic Layer Deposition)來加以成膜。CVD或ALD可使用電漿。
從讓Cu配線更低阻抗化的觀點,較佳地,障蔽膜係較薄地形成,較佳為1~10nm。Mn膜會於層間絕緣膜202中的Si反應而矽酸化,可讓障蔽膜205為自整合障蔽膜而形成於層間絕緣膜202側,故可增加Cu配線中之Cu的體積,能讓Cu配線的低阻抗效果較高。因此,從讓Cu配線低阻抗化的觀點,Mn膜較佳。
Mn膜較佳是以CVD或ALD來加以成膜。以CVD及ALD來成膜出Mn膜之成膜方法可使用日本特開2014-135465公報所記載者。
接著,在障蔽膜205上形成用以確保針對Cu或Cu合金之潤濕性的被潤濕層之內襯膜206(步驟3,圖2(c))。內襯膜206可使用針對Cu而潤濕性特別良好的Ru膜或Co膜。
為被潤濕層之內襯膜206由於針對Cu或Cu合金而具有良好的潤濕性,故如後述般,在回流處理Cu系膜時,以及以PVD來埋入Cu系膜時,便可確保Cu或Cu合金之良好的流動性(移動性)。內襯膜206從極力放大所埋入之Cu體積而讓配線低阻抗的觀點,較佳係形成為薄如1~5nm。
內襯膜206較佳係以CVD來加以形成。藉此,便能以良好的階段覆蓋來以更薄的膜厚而成膜。使用Ru膜作為內襯膜206的情況,較佳係使用例如羰基釕(Ru3(Co)12)作為成膜原料而藉由熱CVD來成膜。羰基釕以外之其他成膜原料,亦可使用例如(環戊二烯)(2,4-二甲基戊二烯)釕、雙(環戊二烯)(2,4-二甲基戊二烯)釕、(2,4-二甲基戊二烯)(乙烯環戊二烯)釕、雙(2,4-二甲基戊二烯)(乙烯環戊二烯)釕般之釕的戊二烯化合物。另外,亦可取代CVD而使用原子層沉積法(ALD)。又,亦可以PVD來加以成膜。使用Co膜的情況亦同樣地,可以CVD、ALD、PVD來加以成膜。
接著,藉由PVD在內襯膜206表面形成由Cu或Cu合金所構成之Cu系種晶膜207(步驟4,圖2(d))。此Cu系種晶膜207係在接著的回流處理用以確保埋入於孔洞204之Cu或Cu合金者。從而,Cu系種晶膜207的膜厚只要為能填埋孔洞204之些微量所對應的膜厚即可,例如1~40nm左右的厚度便足夠。又,由於只要藉由回流就可以填埋孔洞204,故Cu系種晶膜207不需要為連續膜。
另外,使用Cu合金為Cu系種晶膜207的情況,代表性者可舉出有Cu-Al、Cu-Mn。又,其他Cu合金則可使用Cu-Mg、Cu-Ag、Cu-Sn、Cu-Pb、Cu-Zn、Cu-Pt、Cu-Au、Cu-Ni、Cu-Co、Cu-Ti等。
Cu系種晶膜207只要能形成於溝渠203及孔洞204的內壁即可,無須考慮到凸垂(overhang),故不論PVD的方法,但因Cu系種晶膜207使得孔洞204或溝渠203封閉時,便無法進行接著的回流處理,故必須要為不會
使得溝渠203或孔洞204封閉之膜厚及覆蓋性,由此點來看,較佳為邊吸引離子至晶圓邊成膜之iPVD。
Cu系種晶膜207形成後,便加熱晶圓W來進行回流處理(步驟5,圖2(e))。藉由此回流處理,會使得由Cu或Cu合金所構成之Cu系種晶膜207流入至孔洞204內,以填埋孔洞204。回流處理的加熱溫度較佳為200~400℃範圍。較200℃要低時,Cu系種晶膜207會難以流動,較400℃要高時,構成Cu系種晶膜207之Cu或Cu合金會容易凝聚,且有對下底之Low-k膜等所構成的層間絕緣膜202造成不良影響之虞。另外,在進行一次的步驟4的Cu系膜形成以及步驟5的回流處理並無法讓溝渠的填埋充足的情況,亦可複數次的重複步驟4及步驟5。
回流處理可例如將晶圓載置於腔室內的載置台,將非活性氣體,例如Ar氣體或N2氣體或H2氣體導入腔室內並排氣,來將腔室內維持在既定真空氛圍,藉由載置台所埋設之阻抗加熱器來加熱晶圓而進行。
實際上,在層間絕緣膜形成有溝渠及孔洞之晶圓形成TaN障蔽膜及Ru內襯膜,並形成Cu種晶膜後,加熱至400℃來進行回流處理的結果,如圖3的穿透型顯微鏡(TEM)照片所示,確認到Cu完全被埋入於孔洞。
回流處理後,在相對於Cu或Cu合金而潤濕性較佳的內襯膜206表面,以能在內襯膜206上流動之條件的PVD來形成Cu或Cu合金所構成之Cu系膜208,以將Cu系膜208埋入至溝渠203內(步驟6,圖2(f))。此時的成膜,較佳地,係使用可較容易地確保Cu或Cu合金在內襯膜206上的流動性之iPVD。
在一般PVD成膜的情況,雖藉由Cu的聚集會容易產生使得溝渠或孔洞之開口封閉的凸垂,但藉由使用將離子吸引至晶圓並成膜的iPVD,並調整施加至晶圓的偏壓功率,以控制Cu離子的成膜作用及電漿產生氣體之離子(Ar離子)所致的蝕刻作用,便能在相對於Cu或Cu合金而潤濕性較高的內襯膜206上讓Cu或Cu合金不會凝聚而移動,可抑制凸垂的產生,即便為狹窄開口的溝渠或孔洞亦可獲得不會產生空洞等的良好填埋性。此時,從保持Cu流動性而獲得良好填埋性的觀點,較佳是Cu會遷移的高溫程序(65~350℃,較佳為230~300℃)。又,如此般地藉由高溫程序來進行PVD成膜,便可讓Cu結晶粒成長,可降低Cu配線的阻抗。
然而,以上述方法來同時填埋溝渠及孔洞兩者的情況,溝渠底部會形成Cu的顆粒,而有阻礙Cu朝孔洞埋入之虞,但本實施形態中,由於係藉由步驟5的回流處理而已填埋了孔洞204,故不會產生此般不良。
另外,此工序中,在溝渠203開口寬度較小的情況,可幾乎完整地填埋Cu或Cu合金,但在開口寬度較大的情況等,則會被容許有少許的凹陷產生。又,Cu系膜208成膜時的處理容器內壓力(程序壓力)較佳為1~100mTorr(0.311~13.3Pa),更佳為35~90mTorr(4.66~12.0Pa)。
使用Cu合金作為Cu系膜207的情況,代表性者可舉出有Cu-Al、Cu-Mn。又,其他Cu合金則可使用Cu-Mg、Cu-Ag、Cu-Sn、Cu-Pb、Cu-Zn、Cu-Pt、Cu-Au、Cu-Ni、Cu-Co、Cu-Ti等。
實際上,進行回流處理而填埋孔洞後,藉由iPVD以高溫條件來成膜Cu膜而進行溝渠填埋後的結果則如圖4之TEM照片所示,確認到Cu完全地埋入至溝渠。
如此般地在溝渠203內埋入Cu或Cu合金後,依需要則具備平坦化處理而在Cu系膜208上形成Cu或Cu合金所構成之增厚層209(步驟7,圖2(g))。增厚層209可接著Cu系膜208以iPVD等之PVD來成膜出Cu系膜而加以形成。又,亦可藉由施以Cu鍍覆來加以形成。
之後,藉由CMP(Chemical Mechanical Polishing)來去除晶圓W表面之增厚層209、Cu系膜208、內襯膜206、障蔽膜205而平坦化(步驟8,圖2(h))。藉此來形成Cu配線210。
如上述般,依本實施形態,在形成為會使得Cu或Cu合金潤濕的被潤濕層之內襯膜206後,藉由形成Cu系種晶膜207,並加熱來進行回流處理,便可讓Cu系種晶膜207流動來讓Cu或CuC合金容易地埋入至微細孔洞204。又,如此一來,藉由回流處理來進行孔洞204的填埋後,藉由可在相對於Cu或Cu合金而潤濕性較佳的內襯膜206上流動的條件之PVD,較佳為高溫的iPVD來成膜出Cu系膜208來將Cu系膜208填埋於溝渠203,故不會產生對孔洞204填埋之阻礙等的不良,可獲得良好的填埋性。又,如此般以PVD來填埋Cu或Cu合金,便可較鍍覆而讓雜質變少,可讓Cu配線更加低阻抗化。又,藉由以高溫iPVD來成膜,便可讓Cu或Cu合金的結晶尺寸變大,可進一步地讓Cu配線低阻抗化。然後,回流所填埋的只有
孔洞204,故不需進行在寬度較廣的溝渠進行回流情況般的效率不良處理,而為高效率。亦即,藉由適當地組合回流處理及PVD所致之填埋(dry fill),便可相對溝渠203及孔洞204以良好的填埋性來有效率地填埋Cu或Cu合金,以形成低阻抗之Cu配線。
<成膜系統>
接著,就本發明實施形態相關之Cu配線形成方法的實施所使用之成膜系統來加以說明。圖5係顯示此般成膜系統一範例之概略圖。

第2處理部3係具有第2真空搬送室21、連接於此第2真空搬送室21的壁部之構成為iPVD裝置之2個Cu系膜成膜裝置22a,22b以及構成為iPVD裝置之2個Cu系種晶膜成膜裝置24a,24b。Cu系膜成膜裝置22a與
Cu系種晶膜成膜裝置24a以及Cu系膜成膜裝置22b與Cu系種晶膜成膜裝置24b係配置在線對稱之位置。
第2真空搬送室21之第1處理部2側的兩邊所對稱之壁部係分別連接有該除氣室5a,5b,除氣室5a及5b之間的壁部係連接有該收授室5。亦即,收授室5及除氣室5a及5b均係設置在第1真空搬送室11與第2真空搬送室21之間,收授室5兩側則配置有除氣室5a及5b。再者,第2真空搬送室21之搬出入部4側的壁部係連接有可大氣搬送及真空搬送之裝載室6。
Cu系膜成膜裝置22a,22b、Cu系種晶膜成膜裝置24a,24b、除氣室5a,5b以及裝載室6係透過閘閥G連接於第2真空搬送室21之各壁部,藉由關閉所對應之閘閥G便可從第2真空搬送室21被阻斷。又,收授室5係不透過閘閥而連接至第2真空搬送室21。
第2真空搬送室21內係保持在既定的真空氛圍,其中設置有能針對Cu系膜成膜裝置22a,22b、Cu系種晶膜成膜裝置24a,24b、除氣室5a,5b、裝載室6以及收授室5進行晶圓W之搬出入的第2搬送機構26。此第2搬送機構26係係配設在第2真空搬送室21之略中央,具有可旋轉及伸縮之旋轉‧伸縮部27,以及設置於其旋轉‧伸縮部27前端來支撐晶圓W的兩個支撐臂28a,28b,該等兩個支撐臂28a,28b係以朝向相互相反方向的方式來組裝在旋轉‧伸縮部27。
搬出入部4係夾置裝載室6而設置在第2處理部3的相反側,具有連接有裝載室6的大氣搬送室31。大氣搬送室31上部係設有用以形成清淨空氣之下向流的過濾器(未圖示)。裝載室6與大氣搬送室31之間的壁部係設有閘閥G。大氣搬送室31與連接有裝載室6之壁部對向的壁部係設有連接了收納作為被處理基板之晶圓W的載具C之兩個連接埠32,33。又,大氣搬送室31側面係設有進行晶圓W之對位的對位室34。大氣搬送室31內係設有進行晶圓W針對載具C之搬入及晶圓W針對裝載室6之搬出入的大氣搬送用搬送機構36。此大氣搬送用搬送機構36係具有2個多關節臂,會沿著載具C之配列方向而可行進於軌道38上,並將晶圓W載置於各自前端的手部37上來進行其搬送。
另外,Cu系膜成膜裝置22a,22b可將晶圓W加熱,並可將該等作為回流處理時之加熱裝置使用。當然,亦可將例如除氣室5a,5b作為可加熱晶圓
之其他裝置的加熱裝置來使用,亦可個別地設置加熱裝置。
此成膜系統1係具有用以控制此成膜系統1之各構成部的控制部40。此控制部40係具有由實行各構成部之控制的微處理器(電腦)所構成之程序控制器41;由讓操作員管理成膜系統1用而進行指令輸入操作等的鍵盤及將成膜系統1的作動狀況可視化地顯示之顯示器等所構成之使用者介面42;以及儲存有用以在程序控制器41的控制下實現成膜系統1所實行的處理之控制程式或各種數據及用以對應於處理條件讓處理裝置的各構成部實行處理之程式,即處理配方之記憶部43。另外,使用者介面42及記憶部43係連接至程序控制器41。該處理配方係記憶在記憶部43中之記憶媒體43a。記憶媒體可為硬碟,亦可為CDROM、DVD、快閃記憶體等之可移動性者。又,亦可從其他裝置透過例如專用線路來將配方適當地傳送。然後,依需要,便依來自使用者介面42之指示等從記憶部43叫出任意的配方而讓程序控制器41實行,便能在程序控制器41的控制下,進行在成膜系統1之所欲處理。
此般成膜系統1中,係藉由大氣搬送用搬送機構36從載具C取出具有既定圖案之溝渠及孔洞的晶圓W,並搬送至裝載室6,在其裝載室減壓至與第2真空搬送室21同程度之真空度後,藉由第2搬送機構26將裝載室之晶圓W透過第2真空搬送室21而搬送至除氣室5a或5b,以進行晶圓W的除氣處理。
之後,藉由第1搬送機構16將除氣室的晶圓W取出,透過第1真空搬送室11搬入至障蔽膜成膜裝置12a或12b來成膜出障蔽膜。
障蔽膜成膜後,藉由第1搬送機構16從障蔽膜成膜裝置12a或12b將晶圓W取出,並搬入至內襯膜成膜裝置14a或14b,以成膜出例如Ru膜來作為內襯膜。
內襯膜成膜後,藉由第1搬送機構16從內襯膜成膜裝置14a或14b將晶圓W取出,並搬送至收授室5。之後,藉由第2搬送機構26取出晶圓W,並透過第2真空搬送室21搬入至Cu系種晶膜成膜裝置24a或24b,以Ipvd來形成Cu系種晶膜。另外,Cu系種晶膜形成時,由於不須考量到填埋性,故不加熱晶圓W來進行成膜。
之後,藉由第2搬送機構26將晶圓W取出,並搬入至Cu系膜成膜裝置22a或22b,加熱晶圓W來進行回流處理,以讓Cu系種晶膜流入至孔洞,以進行孔洞的填埋。
回流處理後,則持續以進行回流處理之Cu系膜成膜裝置來對晶圓W以高溫iPVD來形成Cu系膜,以讓Cu或Cu合金埋入至溝渠內。
之後,在Cu系膜上形成增厚層,但增厚層的形成可藉由在相同Cu系膜成膜裝置22a或22b內連續形成Cu合金膜來加以進行。形成增厚層時,由於無須考量到填埋性,故亦可藉由Cu系種晶膜成膜裝置24a或24b來形成增厚層。
增厚層形成後,便將晶圓W搬送至裝載室6,在將其裝載室回復至大氣壓後,藉由大氣搬送用搬送機構36將形成有Cu膜後之晶圓W取出,並回復至載具C。將此般處理重複載具內之晶圓W數量次數。形成增厚層後之晶圓W會被搬送至CMP裝置來進行CMP處理,以形成Cu配線。
依成膜系統1,便可不開放於大氣而在真空中進行障蔽膜、內襯膜、Cu系種晶膜的形成、回流處理、Cu系膜以及增厚層的形成,故可盡量抑制各處理時的表面氧化,可獲得高性能的Cu配線。
另外,增厚層亦可以Cu鍍覆來形成,在此情況,係在Cu系膜成膜後,將晶圓W從成膜系統1取出,並在鍍覆裝置施以Cu鍍覆,接著則以CMP裝置來進行CMP處理。
又,Cu系種晶膜形成時不需要晶圓W的加熱,而Cu系膜成膜時則會加熱晶圓W,故從讓產率良好的觀點,則是讓Cu系種晶膜成膜裝置24a,24b與Cu系膜成膜裝置22a,22b為個別的裝置,但亦可在同一裝置下而改變溫度。此情況,便可在同樣裝置下來進行Cu系種晶膜的成膜、回流處理以及Cu系膜之成膜。
接著,就成膜系統之主要裝置來加以說明。
<Cu系膜成膜裝置>
接著,就本發明中主要工序之Cu系膜形成所使用的Cu系膜成膜裝置22a,22b之較佳範例來加以說明。圖6係顯示Cu系膜成膜裝置一範例之剖視圖。
此處,係以ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma)型電漿濺鍍裝置作為構成Cu系膜成膜裝置之iPVD成膜裝置為範例來加以說明。
如圖6所示,此Cu系膜成膜裝置22a(22b)係具有成形為筒狀之金屬製處理容器51。此處理容器51係接地,且其底部52設有排氣口53,排氣口53係連接有排氣管54。排氣管54係連接有進行壓力調整之節流閥55及真空泵56,可將真空容器51內真空吸引。又,處理容器51之底部52係設有將既定氣體朝處理容器51內導入之氣體導入口57。此氣體導入口57係連接有氣體供給配管58,氣體供給配管58係連接有供給作為電漿產生用(激發用)氣體之稀有氣體,例如Ar氣體或其他必要氣體,例如N2氣體等的氣體供給源59。又,氣體供給配管58係介設有由氣體流量控制器、閥等所構成之氣體控制部60。
處理容器51內係設置有晶圓W之載置機構62。此載置機構62係具有成形為圓板狀之導電性載置台63、支撐此載置台63之中空筒體狀支柱64。載置台63係透過支柱64而接地。載置台63中係埋入有冷卻套頭65及設置於其上之阻抗加熱器87。載置台63係設有熱電偶(未圖示),基於此熱電偶所檢出之溫度,便會進行以冷卻套頭65及阻抗加熱器87之晶圓溫度的控制。
載置台63上面側係設有在介電體構件66a中埋入有電極66b所構成之薄圓板狀靜電夾具66,可藉由靜電力來吸附保持晶圓W。又,支柱64下部係貫穿處理容器51之底部52中心部所形成的插通孔67而朝下方延伸。支柱64可藉由升降機構(未圖示)而上下移動,藉此,使得載置機構62整體升降。
以包圍支柱64之方式設有可伸縮之金屬伸縮管68,此金屬伸縮管68其上端係氣密地接合於載置台63下面,又,下端係氣密地接合於處理容器51之底部52上面,可維持處理容器51內之氣密性並容許載置機構62的升降移動。
又,底部52係朝向上方而鉛直地設有例如3根(圖示僅2根)支撐銷69,又,對應於此支撐銷69而在載置台63形成有銷插通孔70。從而,在讓載置台63下降時,貫穿銷插通孔70之支撐銷69的上端部會承受晶圓W,可讓其晶圓W在與從外部進入之搬送臂(未圖示)之間移載。處理容器51的下
部側壁設有用以讓搬送臂進入之搬出入口71,此搬出入口71設有可開閉之閘閥G。
靜電夾具66之電極66b係透過供電線72而連接有夾具用電源73,此夾具用電源73會施加直流電壓至電極66b,藉以利用靜電力來吸附保持晶圓W。又,供電線72係連接有偏壓用高頻電源74,會透過此供電線72供給偏壓用高頻電力至靜電夾具66之電極66b,以將高頻偏壓施加至晶圓W。此高頻偏壓之頻率較佳為400kHz~60MHz,例如採用13.56MHz。
處理容器51的頂部係透過密封構件77而氣密地設有由介電體所構成之高頻穿透性之穿透板76。此穿透板76上部係設有在處理容器51內之處理空間S將作為電漿激發用氣體之稀有氣體,例如Ar氣體電漿化而產生電漿用之電漿產生源78。
電漿產生源78係具有對應於穿透板76所設置之感應線圈80,此感應線圈80係連接有電漿產生用之例如13.56MHz之高頻電源81,藉由供給高頻電力至感應線圈80,便會透過該穿透板76而在處理空間S形成感應電場。
又,穿透板76正下方係設有讓所導入的高頻電力擴散之金屬製擋板82。擋板82下部係設有以包圍該處理空間S上部側邊之方式而形成為斷頭圓錐殼狀之由Cu或Cu合金所構成之靶材83,此靶材83係連接有施加用以吸引Ar離子的直流電力之電壓可變直流電源84。此電源亦可使用交流電源。
又,靶材83外周側係設有用以將磁場賦予至其的磁石85。靶材83會因電漿中的Ar離子而被濺射出Cu的金屬原子或者金屬原子團,並在通過電漿中時而大多被離子化。
又,此靶材83下部係以包圍該處理空間S之方式而設有為圓筒狀之保護罩構件86。此保護罩構件86會接地,並且其內側端部會以包圍載置台63外周側之方式來加以設置。
如此般構成之Cu系膜成膜裝置中,係將晶圓W朝處理容器51內搬入,並載置於載置台63上而藉由靜電夾具66來加以吸附。此時,載置台63會基於熱電偶(未圖示)所檢出之溫度,藉由冷卻套頭65或阻抗加熱器87來做溫度控制。
此狀態下,會在控制部40之控制下進行以下的動作。
首先,在藉由讓真空泵56動作而成為1×10-7Torr以下之高真空狀態的處理容器51內,操作氣體控制部60以既定流量來流動Ar氣體,並控制節流閥55來讓處理容器51內維持在既定的真空度。之後,從可變直流電源84將直流電力施加至靶材83,進一步地,從電漿產生源78之高頻電源81供給高頻電力(電漿電力)至感應線圈80。另一方面,從偏壓用高頻電源74來對靜電夾具66之電極66b供給既定之偏壓用高頻電力。
處理容器51內,係藉由被供給至感應線圈80之高頻電力來形成Ar電漿,其中的Ar離子會被施加至靶材83的直流電壓所吸引而衝撞靶材83,並濺射而釋出粒子。此時,會適當地控制藉由施加至靶材83的直流電壓所釋出之粒子的量。對靶材83之直流電力為4~12kW,較佳為6~10kW。
又,來自被濺射之靶材83的粒子在通過電漿中時大多會被離子化,而成為混有被離子化者及電性中性之中性原子的狀態來朝下方飛散。此時之離子化率係藉由高頻電源81所供給之高頻電力來加以控制。
離子化後的粒子進入到因偏壓用高頻電源74施加至靜電夾具66的電極66b之偏壓用高頻電力而形成於晶圓W面上之厚度為數mm左右的離子鞘層區域時,便會有強指向性而加速被吸引至晶圓W側而在晶圓W形成Cu系膜。
此時,會將晶圓溫度設定較高(65~350)來確保Cu的流動性,並主要地調整從偏壓用高頻電源74對靜電夾具66之電極66b所施加之高頻偏壓功率以調整Cu合金的成膜及Ar所致之蝕刻,讓Cu合金之流動性良好,則即便開口狹窄的溝渠亦可以良好的填埋性來埋入Cu或Cu合金。具體而言,以Cu系膜成膜量(成膜率)為TD,電漿產生用氣體之離子的蝕刻量(蝕刻率)為TE時,係0≦TE/TD<1,較佳地,係進一步地以0<TE/TD<1之方式來調整偏壓功率。
從獲得良好填埋性之觀點,處理容器51內之壓力(程序壓力)為1~100mTorr(0.133~13.3Pa),較佳為35~90mTorr(4.66~12.0Pa),對靶材之直流電力為4~12kW,較佳為6~10kW。
<Cu系種晶膜成膜裝置>
Cu系種晶膜成膜裝置24a(24b)除了未在載置台63設有阻抗加熱器87以外,基本上可使用與圖6所示之Cu系膜成膜裝置22a(22b)同樣之電漿濺
鍍裝置。又,Cu系種晶膜成膜時,由於不須重視填埋性,故不限於iPVD,亦可使用一般的濺鍍、離子披覆等一般的PVD。
<障蔽膜成膜裝置>
障蔽膜成膜裝置12a(12b)係僅只要改變靶材83所使用之材料便可使用與圖6之成膜裝置同樣的成膜裝置而藉由電漿濺鍍來加以成膜。又,不限於電漿濺鍍,亦可以一般的濺鍍、離子披覆等其他的PVD、CVD或ALD(Atomic Layer Deposition)、使用電漿之CVD或ALD來成膜。由降低雜質的觀點,較佳為PVD。
<內襯膜成膜裝置>
接著,就用以形成內襯膜之內襯膜成膜裝置14a(14b)來加以說明。內襯膜可藉由熱CVD來適當地形成。圖7係顯示內襯膜成膜裝置一範例之剖視圖,係藉由熱CVD來形成Ru膜以作為內襯膜。
如圖7所示,此內襯膜成膜裝置14a(4b)係具有例如以鋁等而形成為筒狀之處理容器101。處理容器101內部係配置有載置晶圓W而由例如AlN等陶瓷所構成之載置台102,此載置台102內係設有加熱器103。此加熱器103係藉由加熱器電源(未圖示)之供電來發熱。
處理容器101頂壁係以對向於載置台102的方式設有用以將形成Ru膜之處理氣體或吹淨氣體等噴淋狀地導入至處理容器101內之噴淋頭104。噴淋頭104係於其上部具有氣體導入口105,其內部形成有氣體擴散空間106,其底面係形成有多數氣體噴出孔107。氣體導入口105係連接有氣體供給配管108,氣體供給配管108係連接有用以供給形成Ru膜之處理氣體或吹淨氣體等之氣體供給源109。又,氣體供給配管108會介設有氣體流量控制器、閥等所構成之氣體控制部110。用以成膜Ru膜之氣體如上述般,可舉出較佳者有羰基釕(Ru3(Co)12)。此羰基釕可因熱分解而形成Ru膜。
處理容器101底部係設有排氣口111,此排氣口111係連接有排氣管112。排氣管112係連接有進行壓力調整之節流閥113及真空泵114,而可將真空容器101內真空吸引。
載置台102係設有可相對於載置台102表面出沒之晶圓搬送用的3根(僅圖示2根)晶圓支撐銷116,該等晶圓支撐銷116係被固定在支撐板117。然後,晶圓支撐銷116會藉由汽缸等驅動機構118來升降桿體119,以透過
支撐板117進行升降。另一方面,處理容器101側壁係形成有晶圓搬出入口121,在閘閥G開啟狀態下,會在與第1真空搬送室11之間進行晶圓W的搬出入。
此般內襯膜成膜裝置14a(14b)中,會開啟閘閥G來將晶圓W載置於載置台102上後,關閉閘閥G,藉由真空泵114將處理容器101內排氣以讓處理容器101內調整至既定壓力,並在藉由加熱器103透過載置台102將晶圓W加熱至既定溫度的狀態下,從氣體供給源109透過氣體供給配管108及噴淋頭104來朝處理容器101內導入羰基釕(Ru3(Co)12)氣體等之處理氣體。藉此,處理氣體便會在晶圓W上進行反應,而在晶圓W表面形成內襯膜。
內襯膜的成膜亦可使用羰基釕以外的其他成膜材料,例如將上述般釕的戊二烯化合物與O2般分解氣體一同使用。
另外,在成膜出Co膜來作為內襯膜的情況,亦與Ru膜同樣地,可以熱CVD來成膜。又,內襯膜不限於CVD,亦可以PVD等其他成膜方法來成膜。
<其他適用>
以上,雖已就本發明實施形態來加以說明,但本發明不限於上述實施形態而可有各種變形。上述實施形態中,雖以半導體晶圓為被處理基板為例來加以說明,但半導體晶圓並不限於典型的矽晶圓,亦包含GaAs、SiC、GaN等化合物半導體。又,被處理基板並不限於半導體晶圓,當然可使用本發明於液晶顯示裝置等之FPD(平面顯示器)所使用之玻璃基板,或陶瓷基板等。
