Definitions
- the present invention relates to semiconductor devices and, in particular, to semiconductor devices having a dielectric polymer low dielectric material and processes for manufacture thereof.
- semiconductor device manufacturers have sought to reduce the line width and spacing of interconnects while minimizing the transmission losses and capacitative coupling of the interconnects.
- One way to diminish power consumption and capacitative coupling is to decrease the dielectric constant of the insulating material, or dielectric, that separates the interconnects.
- Silicon dioxide which has a dielectric constant (k) of about 4.0, is commonly used as the dielectric in semiconductor devices today. While SiO 2 has the mechanical and thermal stability needed to withstand the thermal cycling and processing steps of semiconductor device manufacturing, materials having a lower dielectric constant are desired.
- devices having interconnect line widths of 0.07 microns will require the insulating material to have k ⁇ 1.5.
- Nanoporous silica is SiO 2 having small pockets or pores of air incorporated therein. Air has a dielectric constant of about 1.0, and the dielectric constant of nanoporous silica varies approximately linearly between 4.0 and 1.0 with the amount of air incorporated therein. For example, at 50% porosity, nanoporous silica has k ⁇ 2.5, and at 75% porosity, k ⁇ 1.75.
- nanoporous silica To achieve k ⁇ 2.0 requires nanoporous silica to be more than 50% porous. At such high porosity, nanoporous silica has several drawbacks. SiO 2 is a very brittle material, and at such high porosity, nanoporous silica lacks mechanical integrity and tends to break and crumble under pressure, such as that applied during various semiconductor device processing steps. Also, nanoporous silica is very hydrophilic and will absorb any water that is present during semiconductor device processing or operation, resulting in reliability problems.
- the present invention provides a semiconductor device having a low dielectric constant material comprising a dielectric polymer.
- the dielectric polymer is formed by dispensing a reaction solution made up of a polymer precursor, a crosslinking agent, and a solvent on a substrate and reacting the polymer precursor with the crosslinking agent. The solvent may be removed either before or after the polymer precursor and the crosslinking agent are reacted.
- This invention also provides an electronic package comprising a low dielectric polymer material, a method for forming a semiconductor device having a low dielectric polymer layer, and a method for forming an electronic package comprising a low dielectric polymer material.

- the present invention utilizes polymerization reactions in situ to build the dielectric polymer on a substrate.
- the dielectric polymer is formed by dispensing and reacting a reaction solution on a substrate.
- the reaction solution comprises a polymer precursor, a crosslinking agent, and a solvent. Reacting the reaction solution results in the polymerization of the polymer precursor with the crosslinking agent to produce a crosslinked dielectric polymer.
- the solvent may be removed prior to, or after, reacting the reaction solution.
- polymer precursor refers to a molecular species that serves as a building block to produce higher molecular weight polymers.
- a “crosslinking agent” refers to a molecular species that serves to chemically link the polymer precursor species to one another. Polymer precursors and crosslinking agents include, without limitation, dimers, trimers, oligomers, and polymers.
- a general reaction scheme for forming the dielectric polymer in accordance with the present invention is as follows:

- Polymer precursors other than those listed above can be used in accordance with the present invention.
- Polymer precursors may be used alone or in combination with each other.
- the combinations may include both organic and inorganic polymer precursors.
- the combination of an inorganic polymer precursor with an organic polymer precursor is believed to increase the thermal stability of the dielectric polymer layer.
- Inorganic polymer precursors such as organic compounds containing boron, silicon, or aluminum are particularly suited for use in the dielectric polymers of the present invention.

For ultraviolet irradiation curing, the preferred polymer precursor will have a vinyl group, specifically, a vinyl group that can participate in a radical reaction.
- crosslinking agent acts to chemically link polymer precursor species to one another.

- the preferred crosslinking agents For ultraviolet irradiation curing, the preferred crosslinking agents have two or more vinyl groups, specifically, vinyl groups that can participate in a radical reaction.
- the polymer precursors are oligomers and polymers having medium to high molecular weights in excess of 5,000 g/mol, more typically in a range of about 50,000 g/mol to about 150,000 g/mol, and the crosslinking agents are dimers and trimers with low molecular weights below 1500 g/mol, more typically in a range of about 150 g/mol to about 1000 g/mol.
- Use of a polymer precursor and a crosslinking agent having these relative molecular weights is beneficial in that the resulting dielectric layer has better uniformity and thermal stability.
- both the polymer precursor and the crosslinking agent are medium to high molecular weights. This can lead to improved film uniformity and improved thermal stability and mechanical properties.
- the polymer precursor and crosslinking agent can be distinct species or chemically bonded to each other prior to deposition and crosslinking.
- the polymer precursors and crosslinking agent are chosen to have a high aromatic content with at least one aromatic group per molecular repeat unit and low or no aliphatic content.
- Aromatic molecular species are known to possess good chemical and thermal stability properties, and dielectric polymers comprising a high aromatic content would be expected to similarly exhibit good chemical and thermal stability properties.
- the relative amounts of polymer precursor and crosslinking agent will depend upon the choice of polymer precursor, crosslinking agent, solvent and curing method.
- the reaction solution includes about 1% to about 20% by weight of the crosslinking agent, with a range of about 2% to about 15% by weight of the crosslinking agent being more typical. Below about 2% the resulting dielectric layer has poor thermal and mechanical stability, and above about 15% the resulting dielectric layer has poor uniformity and is susceptible to cracking.
- the solvent is chosen to dissolve the monomer and the crosslinking agent as well as to be chemically unreactive with the substrate and with the polymer precursor and crosslinking agent during polymerization.
- the solvent has a medium to high boiling point (i.e., a low to medium vapor pressure) such as in a range of about 80°C to about 250°C.
- the solvent typically has a boiling point of at least about 150°C. Solvents with a boiling point of less than about 150°C tend to evaporate during processing, causing the crosslinking agent to precipitate out of the reaction solution and therefore causing non-uniformity in the resulting dielectric layer.
- solvents examples include, without limitation: dichloroethane and other halogenated hydrocarbons; alcohols; glycols and glycol ethers; esters; and aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. These solvents may be used alone or in combination with each other or other solvents. One embodiment uses a combination of high and low boiling point solvents.

- a catalyst is added to the reaction solution.
- the reaction solution may be dispensed on the substrate by any number of techniques.
- dispensing the reaction solution involves spin-coating the reaction solution onto the substrate using standard spin-coating equipment available in the semiconductor device manufacturing industry. Typically, the reaction solution is spin-coated at ambient conditions.
- the coating thickness can be controlled by altering the viscosity of the reaction solution through, for example, altering the percentage of solids to liquids, the type of solvent used, or the chemical composition of the reaction solution. Coating thickness also can be controlled by controlling the spin rate and/or the dispense rate, or through other techniques known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
- a next step 220 the polymer precursor and the crosslinking agent are reacted in situ on the substrate to form a dielectric polymer. Reacting the polymer precursor and the crosslinking agent together chemically bonds the polymer precursor with the crosslinking agent to form a crosslinked dielectric polymer.
- the reaction of the polymer precursor with the crosslinking agent proceeds via a Friedel-Crafts condensation mechanism, and reacting the polymer precursor with the crosslinking agent may include heating the reaction solution to a temperature in a range of about 60°C to the.boiling point of the solvent.
- the reaction of the polymer precursor with the crosslinking agent proceeds via a radical polymerization mechanism, and reacting the polymer precursor with the crosslinking agent may involve irradiating the reaction solution with ultraviolet radiation.
- the reaction solution is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation having a wavelength between about 190 nm and about 300 nm, although other wavelengths in the ultraviolet range can be used.
- the final step 230 involves removing the solvent from the crosslinked polymer.
- Removing the solvent may be accomplished by any number of techniques, such as: air drying; vacuum drying; heating, e.g., on a hot plate or in an oven; solvent exchange; and supercritical drying. Removing the solvent may also involve a combination of more than one such technique.

- the polymer film is cured at step 340 to form a dielectric polymer layer.
- Curing helps complete the reaction of the polymer precursor with the crosslinking agent, removes any volatiles, further stabilizes the film and can reduce the dielectric constant.
- Curing typically involves heating the polymer film to a second temperature above about 200°C for about 5 minutes to about 60 minutes. In one embodiment, the polymer film is cured at a second temperature above about 300°C for 30 minutes.
- Figure 4 illustrates still another embodiment of a process according to the present invention.
- This embodiment begins with dispensing a reaction solution on a substrate at step 400 as described previously.

- the solvent is then removed from the polymer film at step 420.
- the polymer film is rinsed at step 430, and the polymer film is cured at step 440, as described previously.
