Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of interconnections in microelectronic circuits or devices. It relates to an improved interconnection structure, for example of the Damascene or / and low dielectric constant type, as well as various production methods. These structures make it possible to interconnect metal lines in microelectronic devices and apply in particular to interconnections using copper as conductive materials.
- microelectronic device is meant any type of electronic circuit such as a chip, an integrated circuit, an electromechanical microsystem, etc.
- dielectric materials are materials commonly called “lo -k materials” (in French “materials of low dielectric constant k”).
- a “low-k” material is defined as a material having a dielectric constant k of less than 4.2, a value corresponding to the dielectric constant of the Si0 2 deposited by a plasma process.
- a material called "high-k” in French “high k" is a material with a dielectric constant greater than 4.2.
- Materials such as Si0 2 , materials of the USG type (USG for “undoped silicon glass”, in French “silicon oxide undoped”), materials of the SOG silicate or SOG siloxane type (SOG for “spin on glass”) , in French “silicon oxide deposited by rotation”) were previously used to form the insulating layer in interconnection structures.
- materials of low dielectric constant k with a structure Si x OF y called materials FSG (for "Fluorinated silicon glass", in French “silicon oxide doped with fluorine") of dielectric constant between 3 and 3.5, and with hydrogen-type materials silsesquioxane (HSQ) or methylsilsesquioxane (MSQ) or phenylsilsesquioxane.
- FSG for "Fluorinated silicon glass", in French “silicon oxide doped with fluorine
- HQ silsesquioxane
- MSQ methylsilsesquioxane
- phenylsilsesquioxane phenylsilsesquioxane
- the insulating layer is made based r a low dielectric constant material or "low-k"
- the latter is generally deposited in layers separated by an etch stop layer JPAR example base of Si0 2 or Si 3 N.
- the use of the dielectric material of low dielectric constant therefore generally complicates the process for producing the insulating layer produced subsequently.
- the insulating layer was inorganic in nature, based on materials such as Si0 2 , the masking and etching steps posed no problem.
- the realization of interconnection structures comprising an insulating layer based on a material of low dielectric constant proves to be much more complex.
- the masking step requires the use of a masking layer which is more selective with respect to the "low-k" material than a single layer of photosensitive resin.
- the masking layer is therefore generally a hard mask layer, for example made of Si0 2 , or SiC, or Si 3 N 4 coupled to a layer of openwork photosensitive resin.
- This process uses pickling or cleaning solutions or a plasma 0 2 which tend to modify the chemical nature of the insulating layer, by consuming the carbon included in an organic and porous dielectric material forming the insulating layer. This has the consequence of weakening the structure of the insulating layer. However, it turns out that the lower the dielectric constant of dielectric materials of organic and porous nature (criterion that one is looking for), the more fragile the structure of the initial insulating layer. Furthermore, the pickling or cleaning solutions or the plasma 0 2 tend to penetrate inside the possible porosities of the dielectric material, thus considerably modifying the nature and can cause "poisoning" phenomena of layers deposited subsequently. .
- a method for carrying out the stripping processes of the masking layer while reducing the alteration of the "low-k” insulating layer is mentioned in document [1] referenced at the end of this description.
- this method only partially reduces the deterioration of the insulating layer.
- the creation of interconnection structures, in particular of the Damascene type includes a step of deposition, for example by CVD method (CVD for "chemical vapor deposition” or “chemical vapor deposition”). ) or electrolysis of a metallic material. The metallic material then tends to diffuse through the walls of the holes and thus penetrate into the insulating layer.
- a known method consists in producing a “diffusion barrier” layer based for example on TiN or TaN on the walls of the vertical orifices and trenches.
- This diffusion barrier layer is produced for example by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, or for example by vapor deposition of an atomic layer (ALCVD, "A1CVD” meaning "atomic layer chemical vapor deposition” according to English terminology - Saxon) thanks to the use of precursor gases.
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- A1CVD atomic layer
- these Precursor gases also tend to diffuse in the porosities of the dielectric material with low dielectric constant.
- the subject of the present invention is a method for producing an interconnection structure comprising: a) making an insulating layer on a microelectronic device based on a first dielectric material of density di and dielectric constant ki, and at least one hole in this layer, b) making on the hole walls , selective with respect to the microelectronic device, of a support layer, c) the deposition, in the hole, of a conductive material.
- the support layer holds the metal connection element and allows interconnections with metal connection elements having a high aspect ratio to be formed. The latter is carried out in step b), so as to surround the lateral faces of the metallic element, without interfering with the electrical connection between this element and the microelectronic device.
- the support layer is preferably made of a material with a density d 3 greater than the density di of the material forming the insulating layer. It can be made from a material with a dielectric constant k 3 > 4.2, therefore from a “high-k” type material, so that it does not lower the conductivity of the interconnection structure. .
- the support layer can also be made from a refractory material, so as to withstand high temperatures during subsequent process steps. This support layer can for example be made based on a metal oxide or a ceramic material. It can also be produced on the basis of a dielectric material chosen from the following materials: Hf0 2 , Zr0 2 , Ti0 2 , Y 2 0 3 , Cr0 2 .
- step b) can comprise: - the deposition of the support layer on the walls and at the bottom of the hole, - the removal of the. support layer at the bottom of the hole.
- step b) can advantageously comprise the deposition of the support layer, on the hole walls and which is selective with respect to the microelectronic device.
- the present invention also provides a method for producing an interconnection structure comprising at least one insulating layer based on a dielectric material with a low dielectric constant which is easier to produce than those according to the prior art.
- the invention leads to obtaining better quality interconnection structures than with the methods according to the prior art, in particular by allowing the material to have a low constant. dielectric to remain intact after its formation.
- the method can also comprise: at least partial removal of the first dielectric material and its replacement by a second dielectric material of dielectric constant k 2 ⁇ ki.
- the metallic connection element is produced in or through an insulating layer based on a first dielectric material of dielectric constant ki, for example of the type whose integration is known and without, for example, its etching being complex.
- This first dielectric material can be of mineral nature such as Si0 2, for example deposited by plasma, easy to work.
- a second dielectric material of low dielectric constant k 2 , generally having better insulation properties than the first, but generally also more complex to work with.
- the creation of interconnection structures with a low dielectric constant is first simplified. The quality of these structures is then improved, in particular by strengthening the solidity of the insulating layer.
- the dielectric material of low constant k 2 constituting the final insulating layer, is added at the end of the production process; it has therefore been preserved from masking, etching and stripping steps which may alter it.
- the support layer keeps the metal connection element when the first dielectric material is removed and then to support metal connection elements having high aspect ratios.
- the support layer also makes it possible to protect the metallic connection element against a chemical attack such as for example an attack with hydrofluoric acid, during the removal of the first dielectric material.
- the support layer is preferably insensitive to the process for removing the first dielectric material, for example produced by etching or chemical attack with hydrofluoric acid.
- the first dielectric material can be of inorganic nature.
- It can also be mineral in nature and can comprise one of the following materials: Si0 2 , fluorinated silicon oxide (FSG), undoped silicon oxide (USG), a plasma-deposited silicon oxide, a doped silicon oxide phosphorus (PSG) or boron doped (BPSG).
- FSG fluorinated silicon oxide

- ki can be greater than or equal to 3 or
- the first dielectric material can be chosen for its simplicity of integration, more than for its insulating properties.
- Materials of a mineral nature such as Si0 2 , which are relatively easy to work with, generally have a dielectric constant greater than or equal to 3.

It can also be organic in nature or based on an organic polymer such as polyarylether (PAE), or benzocyclobutene (BCB).
- the second dielectric material may be of mineral nature, for example based on a material based on nanoporous silicon oxide or on a fluorinated silicon oxide. It can include porosities. Thus, it can for example be based on a nanoporous silicon oxide, or on a porous polymer.
- the dielectric constant k 2 can be chosen to be less than 4.2, or 3.5, or 3 in which case it is a “low-k” type material having good insulating properties. The dielectric constant k 2 may even reach a value less than 2 depending on its nature (organic or inorganic, porous or not, etc.) and the deposition process used.
