- the present invention relates to a tantalum-based sintered sputtering target suitable for formation and a manufacturing method thereof.
- the diffusion barrier film is formed in advance, and then the copper wiring is formed.
- tantalum or tantalum nitride is used as a diffusion barrier film for copper wiring of a semiconductor element.
- a diffusion barrier film is formed by sputtering tantalum or tantalum nitride by sputtering with a high-purity tantalum target in a recess of a groove forming a copper wiring, and then a seed layer made of copper or a copper alloy is formed by sputtering. Finally, copper is embedded by electroplating.
- the conventional tantalum or tantalum nitride had a problem of poor adhesion.
- the present inventors propose a barrier film for preventing copper diffusion formed by a target obtained by adding titanium to tantalum to solve the above problem.
- a copper wiring part is formed on a semiconductor element by electroless plating. For this purpose, it is necessary to form a copper seed layer in advance. Measures for reducing such an increase in processes are also being studied.
- the wiring width of the semiconductor element is becoming narrower as the density is increased, but when the wiring width is reduced to 45 nm or less, formation of the seed layer becomes difficult and a problem occurs in adhesion. Since it becomes difficult to embed copper by electroplating, etc., it has been considered to form a seed layer and a wiring part by electroless copper plating having excellent embeddability (Patent Documents 1, 2, 3, 4).
- the electroless copper plating method is expected to replace the current sputtering method and electrolytic copper plating method.
- Applicants have added a water-soluble nitrogen-containing polymer having a small weight average molecular weight (Mw) as an additive to the electroless copper plating solution, while the catalyst metal is attached to the substrate of the object to be plated before immersion in the plating solution.
- Mw weight average molecular weight
- the polymer is adsorbed on the catalyst metal through nitrogen atoms, so that the deposition rate of the plating is suppressed, and the crystal is very It was found that a uniform thin film having a thickness of 15 nm or less can be formed on a mirror surface such as a wafer by miniaturization (see Patent Document 5).
- the present applicants formed a catalyst metal on the outermost surface in advance, and then immersed in a plating solution to adsorb the polymer through the nitrogen atom on the catalyst metal, thereby suppressing the plating deposition rate.
- a uniform thin film having a film thickness of 6 nm or less can be formed on a mirror surface such as a wafer by making the crystal very fine.
- a barrier layer for preventing copper diffusion is required separately, and two layers are put in between before forming the copper film. It is practically difficult to apply to ultra-fine wiring that cannot be thickened.
- the present applicants selected from one or more metal elements previously selected from tantalum or titanium, platinum, gold, silver, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, iridium having catalytic ability for electroless plating.
- a copper diffusion preventing barrier film made of nitrogen contained in the form of a nitride of one or more metal elements and the tantalum or titanium can be proposed to solve the above problem. This itself has a function as an effective barrier film (see Patent Document 6).
- Patent Document 7 describes a high-purity tantalum target by a melting method.
- Patent Document 8 describes a sintered body target in which a small amount of titanium is added to high-purity tantalum.
- TaH 2 powder and TiH 2 powder are mixed, dehydrogenated, and further sintered to increase the density and homogenize by heat treatment.
- Patent Document 9 relates to a method for forming a capacitor portion of a semiconductor element, and describes that a Ti film is formed as a lower electrode of the capacitor portion and the surface thereof is formed as a Ti + Ta film by sputtering. In this case, an uneven Ta film is formed on the Ti film, and basically has a two-layer structure. Although there is a description that a Ta target is used as a target, this is not an example in which a Ta—Ti target is used.
- Patent Document 10 describes a Ta sputtering target and a manufacturing method thereof. However, in this case, although it is a melted product and a technique for producing a target using a Ta ingot is disclosed, there is no proposal for producing a sintered product. Patent Document 11 discloses a Ta—Ti film and a sputtering target, but it is unclear how this target was produced. From the above, since it is extremely difficult to produce Ta—Ti sputtering targets in the melted product, it is possible to entrust the first hope to the sintered product. However, the conventional technology can produce a sputtering target with high density and excellent quality. There is a problem of not reaching.
- the present invention relates to a tantalum-based sintered sputtering target and a method for manufacturing the same, and a barrier film for preventing diffusion of materials between laminates (films), and a barrier film for preventing copper diffusion capable of electroless copper plating.
- the present invention intends to provide a tantalum-based sintered sputtering target and a method for producing the same, and in particular, this barrier film can improve the adhesion to the substrate.
- a target capable of improving the density of a Ti target, increasing the uniformity of the composition of the target, and reducing segregation is provided. By using this high-density target, the generation of particles is reduced, and the quality of the film, particularly the function as a barrier film, is to be improved.
- the present invention provides the following inventions. 1) A sputtering target obtained by mixing and sintering tantalum powder and titanium powder, the titanium content is 50 wt% or less (excluding 0 wt%), and the balance is made of tantalum and inevitable impurities, A tantalum-based sintered sputtering target having a relative density of 90% or more. 2) The tantalum-based sintered sputtering target according to 1) above, wherein the relative density is 95% or more.
- the tantalum powder and the titanium powder are mixed and sintered at a temperature of 1300 to 1650 ° C. and a pressure of 150 to 450 kgf / cm 2 , according to any one of 1) to 4) above Of manufacturing a tantalum-based sintered sputtering target.
- the present invention relates to a tantalum-based sintered sputtering target for forming a barrier film for preventing diffusion of substances between laminates (films), particularly a copper diffusion preventing barrier film capable of electroless copper plating, and Regarding the manufacturing method, in particular, this barrier film can improve the adhesion to the substrate, further improve the density of the Ta-Ti target by the sintering method, increase the uniformity of the target composition, and reduce segregation. It has the big effect that it can be made. By using this high-density target, the generation of particles can be reduced, and the film quality, particularly the function as a barrier film, can be improved.
- a sputtering target comprising a sintered body of a metal having a copper diffusion barrier property on a semiconductor element and a metal that has a catalytic action when forming a copper wiring portion by electroless plating, and the tantalum and titanium is formed in a nitrogen gas atmosphere.
- the tantalum-based sintered sputtering target of the present invention is a sputtering target obtained by mixing and sintering tantalum powder and titanium powder.
- the titanium content is 50 wt% or less (excluding 0 wt%)
- the balance is made of tantalum and inevitable impurities
- the relative density is 90% or more.
- the relative density can be further achieved as 95% or more.
- the addition of Ti is to improve the adhesion of a film containing Ta as a main component.
- the addition of Ti to Ta causes a phenomenon that the adhesion to an oxide layer such as silicon oxide is increased.
- the addition amount of titanium is effective even in a minute amount, and at least an impurity level or more is desirable in order to enhance the adhesion effect.
- the mechanism by which adhesion is improved is not necessarily elucidated, but Ti is an active metal, which is caused by the formation of a substance that improves the adhesion at the interface by reacting with oxygen in the oxide layer. it is conceivable that.
- the titanium content is 50 wt% or less because the function of the tantalum barrier film cannot be maintained when the barrier film is formed by sputtering.
- the addition of Ti improves the adhesion of the film.
- excessive addition causes a phenomenon that the adhesion of the film is rather lowered.
- the upper limit is similarly 50 wt%.
- the preferable titanium content is 1 to 40 wt%, and the more preferable range is 3 to 20 wt%. Note that the inclusion of titanium has a secondary effect that the use of expensive tantalum can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.
- the titanium-containing tantalum-based sintered sputtering target further contains 1 to 15 wt% of one or more metal elements selected from platinum, gold, silver, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium and iridium, with the balance being tantalum and inevitable Impurity.
- This additive component has catalytic ability for electroless plating, and is extremely effective when electroless plating is performed on the barrier film.
- the present invention includes these.
- the tantalum-based sintered sputtering target of the present invention is manufactured by mixing tantalum powder and titanium powder and sintering the mixture at a temperature of 1300 to 1650 ° C. and a pressure of 150 to 450 kgf / cm 2. Can do. If it is less than 1300 degreeC, sufficient sintered strength cannot be obtained and a density improvement cannot be expected. Further, when the temperature exceeds 1650 ° C., the melting point of Ti to be added is close to 1670 ° C. and segregation is likely to occur.
- the applied pressure during sintering is preferably 150 to 450 kgf / cm 2 . If it is less than 150 kgf / cm 2, it is difficult to increase the sintering density. If the applied pressure exceeds 450 kgf / cm 2 , the effect of improving the density is saturated and wasted, so the above range is preferable.
- the tantalum powder and the titanium powder have high purity, and at least the purity of both powders is 3N or higher. This is because when the impurity concentration increases, segregation easily occurs and the density decreases. Further, it is desirable to sinter using a powder in which the particle size of tantalum powder and titanium powder is in the range of 50 to 200 ⁇ m. If the particle size of the powder is too large, the density cannot be increased. Conversely, if the particle size of the powder is too small, the bulk density at the time of filling will be low, and the number of filled sheets per sintering will be reduced. Therefore, productivity becomes worse. Furthermore, since mixing takes a long time, the amount of impurities increases. Therefore, it can be said that an appropriate particle size is desirable.
- the barrier / catalyst layer can be made into one layer and the film thickness can be reduced.
- the barrier component is formed. The film speed decreases, and as a result, the ratio of the catalytic metal component in the film can be increased.
- the tantalum or titanium metal element that is a barrier component during sputtering is partially nitrided to become tantalum nitride or titanium nitride, but the film formation rate of this tantalum nitride or titanium nitride is slow.
- the catalytic metal element (noble metal element) that is not nitrided has a relatively high deposition rate as compared with tantalum nitride or titanium nitride. Therefore, this increases the ratio of the catalytic metal element (noble metal element) in the film, which is considered to cause the ratio of the catalytic metal component in the film to increase. This is practically effective because it is not necessary to increase the ratio of the catalytic metal component in the target in the production of a sputtering target using a catalytic metal with many expensive noble metals.
- an electroless copper plating film is formed using the metal element having the catalytic ability as a catalyst.
- the method include a method of forming a film using an electroless copper plating solution containing a water-soluble nitrogen-containing polymer having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 1,000 or more and less than 100,000. This technique can be used as appropriate. Further, by performing acid treatment, alkali treatment, surfactant treatment, ultrasonic cleaning, or a combination of these treatments on the substrate to be plated before plating, the substrate can be cleaned and wettability can be improved.

Abstract
Description
半導体素子の銅配線の拡散バリア膜として、一般にタンタルや窒化タンタルが用いられている。例えば、銅配線を形成する溝の凹部に高純度タンタルターゲットでスパッタリングによりタンタル若しくは窒化タンタルを成膜して拡散バリア膜を形成し、次いで銅あるいは銅合金からなるシード層をスパッタリングにより成膜し、最後に電気めっきで銅を埋め込むことにより行われている。
ULSI微細銅配線(ダマシン銅配線)の形成方法として、無電解銅めっき法は現行のスパッタリング法、電気銅めっき法に替わるものとして期待されている。
しかし、実際にこれら触媒金属をダマシン配線形成に適用するためには銅拡散防止のためのバリア層が別に必要であり、銅を成膜する前に間に二層も入れることとなって、膜厚を厚くできない超微細配線では実用上適用が困難である。
溶解法でみた場合、タンタルとチタンは全率固溶であるが、Taの融点は3020°Cであり、高温に加熱しなければ、溶解しないという問題があり、Tiの沸点が3280°Cであるので、製造に危険性が伴うという問題がある。
以上から、焼結法でTa-Tiターゲットを製造する場合に、ターゲットの組成の均一性と密度を向上させることができれば、大きな技術的な向上と言える。
特許文献8には、高純度タンタルに微量のチタンを入れた焼結体ターゲットの記載がある。この場合は、TaH2粉末とTiH2粉末を混合し、これを脱水素処理し、さらに焼結して高密度化と加熱処理による均質化を狙いとしている。この場合、水素化粉末を利用すること、この脱水素の工程が必要であること、さらに加熱による均質化する工程が必要で、このような複雑かつコスト高になる工程を取らざるを得ない点に、焼結法の難しさを垣間見ることができる。
特許文献11には、Ta-Ti膜とスパッタリングターゲットの開示があるが、このターゲットがどのようにして作製されたものか不明である。以上から、溶解品では、Ta-Tiスパッタリングターゲットの製造が極めて困難であるため、焼結品に一縷の望みを託すことができるが、従来技術では高密度で品質に優れたスパッタリングターゲットの製造に至っていないという問題がある。
この高密度のターゲットを用いることによりパーティクルの発生を減少させ、膜の品質、特にバリア膜としての機能を向上させようとするものである。
1)タンタル粉末とチタン粉末とを混合して焼結したスパッタリングターゲットであって、チタンの含有量が50wt%以下(但し、0wt%を除く)であり、残部がタンタル及び不可避的不純物からなり、相対密度が90%以上であることを特徴とするタンタル基焼結体スパッタリングターゲット。
2)相対密度が95%以上であることを特徴とする上記1)記載のタンタル基焼結体スパッタリングターゲット。
3)無電解めっきに対する触媒能を持つ白金、金、銀、パラジウム、ルテニウム、ロジウム、イリジウムから選択した1成分以上の金属元素1~15wt%をさらに含有し、残部がタンタル及び不可避的不純物からなることを特徴とする上記1)又は2)記載のタンタル基焼結体スパッタリングターゲット。
4)チタンの含有量が1~40wt%であることを特徴とする上記1)~3)のいずれか一項に記載のタンタル基焼結体スパッタリングターゲット。
6)タンタル粉末とチタン粉末の純度が3N以上であることを特徴とする上記5)記載のタンタル基焼結体スパッタリングターゲットの製造方法。
7)タンタル粉末とチタン粉末の粒度が50~200μmの範囲にある粉末を用いて焼結することを特徴とする上記5)又は6)記載のタンタル基焼結体スパッタリングターゲットの製造方法。
チタンの添加量は、微量でも効果があり、密着性の効果を高めるためには、少なくとも不純物レベル以上の添加が望ましい。密着性が向上する機構は必ずしも解明されている訳ではないが、Tiは活性な金属であり、前記酸化物層の酸素と反応し、界面に密着性を向上させる物質が形成されることが原因と考えられる。
本発明のTiを含有するTa焼結体スパッタリングターゲットの密度を向上させ、かつこのTa-Tiターゲットを用いてスパッタ成膜した場合の、Taのバリア膜としての機能及びTa-Ti膜の密着性の向上から、好ましいチタンの含有量は1~40wt%であり、さらに好ましい範囲は3~20wt%である。なお、チタンを含有させることは、高価なタンタルの使用を減らすことができ、コスト低減を図ることができるという、副次的効果もある。
焼結時の加圧力は、150~450kgf/cm2とするのが良い。150kgf/cm2未満では、焼結密度が上がり難く、加圧力が450kgf/cm2を超える場合には、密度向上の効果が飽和し無駄になるので、上記の範囲とするのが良い。
粉末の粒度が大き過ぎると、密度を高くすることができず、逆に、粉末の粒度が小さ過ぎると、充填時のかさ密度が低くなってしまい、焼結1回あたりの充填枚数が少なくなるため生産性が悪くなる。さらに、混合に長時間を要するため不純物の混入が多くなる。そのため、適度な粒径が望ましいと言える。
このことは高価な貴金属が多い触媒金属を使用したスパッタリングターゲット製造において、ターゲット中の触媒金属成分比率を大きく上げる必要がなくなるので、実用上有効である。
また、めっき前にめっきする基材の酸処理、アルカリ処理、界面活性剤処理、超音波洗浄あるいはこれらを組み合わせた処理を実施することで、基材のクリーニング、濡れ性向上を図ることができる。

この結果、パーティクル数は、10個となった。このパーティクル数は、密度向上が原因で、パーティクル数の減少になったと考えられる。
次に、基板に付着した膜の密着性を評価した。剥離強度はスクラッチ試験により測定した。具体的には、下記条件でのスクラッチ試験後の試料を、光学顕微鏡により観察し、下地のガラス(ウエハ)が露出した点を皮膜の剥離点とし、スクラッチ開始点からの距離を測長することにより、剥離荷重を算出した。この結果、剥離荷重は13ミリニュートンで、良好な結果となった。

この結果、パーティクル数は、11個となった。このパーティクル数は、密度低下が原因で、パーティクル数の増加になったと考えられる。
次に、基板に付着した膜の密着性を評価した。剥離強度は、実施例1と同様に、スクラッチ試験により測定した。具体的には、下記条件でのスクラッチ試験後の試料を、光学顕微鏡により観察し、下地のガラス(ウエハ)が露出した点を皮膜の剥離点とし、スクラッチ開始点からの距離を測長することにより、剥離荷重を算出した。この結果、剥離荷重は7ミリニュートンで、密着性に劣った。
次に、上記スパッタリング焼結体ターゲットを用いて、SiO2絶縁膜が形成された基板上へタンタル膜を作製し、その上に銅をスパッタで成膜し、400°C×30分間の真空アニール処理後のバリア性を、AESデプスプロファイル測定により確認した。
この結果、銅へのシリコンの拡散が認められず、比較例1のタンタル膜のバリア性は良好であった。この結果を、同様に表1に示す。
この表1に示すように、比較例1では、密度が低下し、絶縁膜との密着性も低下しているが、例えば実施例1と比較すると、少量でもTiを添加する場合には、密度が高くなり、また絶縁膜との密着性が向上することが確認できる。
純度99.9%、平均粒径150μmのチタン粉末60wt%と純度99.9%、平均粒径90μmのタンタル粉末を40wt%の条件で混合し、焼結体の原料とした。この場合、チタンの含有量が60wt%と多く、本願発明のチタン含有量を逸脱するものである。
次に、この原料粉末を、ホットプレス用の容器に入れ、真空雰囲気中、温度1550°C、保持時間2時間、加圧力240kgf/cm2の条件の下で、ホットプレスして焼結体を得た。焼結体の密度は98%となった。
この結果、パーティクル数は、5個となった。このパーティクル数は、密度向上が原因で、パーティクル数の減少になったと考えられる。
次に、基板に付着した膜の密着性を評価した。剥離強度は、実施例1と同様に、スクラッチ試験により測定した。具体的には、下記条件でのスクラッチ試験後の試料を、光学顕微鏡により観察し、下地のガラス(ウエハ)が露出した点を皮膜の剥離点とし、スクラッチ開始点からの距離を測長することにより、剥離荷重を算出した。この結果、剥離荷重は20ミリニュートンで、密着性は良好であった。
次に、上記スパッタリング焼結体ターゲットを用いて、SiO2絶縁膜が形成された基板上へタンタル膜を作製し、その上に銅をスパッタで成膜し、400°C×30分間の真空アニール処理後のバリア性を、AESデプスプロファイル測定により確認した。
この結果、銅へのシリコンの拡散が認められ、比較例2のタンタル・チタン膜のバリア性は不良であった。このように、密度が向上し、耐剥離性も向上したが、過剰なチタンの添加は、本願発明の目的とするバリア性を低下させる原因となった。
この結果を、同様に表1に示す。
純度99.9%、平均粒径150μmのチタン粉末15wt%と純度99.9%、平均粒径90μmのタンタル粉末を85wt%の条件で混合し、焼結体の原料とした。
次に、この原料粉末を、ホットプレス用の容器に入れ、真空雰囲気中、温度1350°C、保持時間2時間、加圧力400kgf/cm2の条件の下で、ホットプレスして焼結体を得た。焼結体の密度は95%となった。
この結果、パーティクル数は、9個となった。このパーティクル数は、密度向上が原因で、パーティクル数の減少になったと考えられる。
次に、基板に付着した膜の密着性を評価した。剥離強度は、実施例1と同様に、スクラッチ試験により測定した。具体的には、下記条件でのスクラッチ試験後の試料を、光学顕微鏡により観察し、下地のガラス(ウエハ)が露出した点を皮膜の剥離点とし、スクラッチ開始点からの距離を測長することにより、剥離荷重を算出した。この結果、剥離荷重は18ミリニュートンで、良好な結果となった。
次に、上記スパッタリング焼結体ターゲットを用いて、SiO2絶縁膜が形成された基板上へタンタル・チタン膜を作製し、その上に銅をスパッタで成膜し、400°C×30分間の真空アニール処理後のバリア性を、AESデプスプロファイル測定により確認した。
この結果、銅へのシリコンの拡散が認められず、実施例7のタンタル・チタン膜のバリア性が良好であることが確認できた。この結果を、同様に表1に示す。
純度99.9%、平均粒径150μmのチタン粉末15wt%と純度99.9%、平均粒径90μmタンタル粉末を85wt%の条件で混合し、焼結体の原料とした。
次に、この原料粉末を、ホットプレス用の容器に入れ、真空雰囲気中、温度1600°C、保持時間2時間、加圧力200kgf/cm2の条件の下で、ホットプレスして焼結体を得た。焼結体の密度は98%となった。
この結果、パーティクル数は、4個となった。このパーティクル数は、密度向上が原因で、パーティクル数の減少になったと考えられる。
次に、基板に付着した膜の密着性を評価した。剥離強度は、実施例1と同様に、スクラッチ試験により測定した。具体的には、下記条件でのスクラッチ試験後の試料を、光学顕微鏡により観察し、下地のガラス(ウエハ)が露出した点を皮膜の剥離点とし、スクラッチ開始点からの距離を測長することにより、剥離荷重を算出した。この結果、剥離荷重は18ミリニュートンで、良好な結果となった。
次に、上記スパッタリング焼結体ターゲットを用いて、SiO2絶縁膜が形成された基板上へタンタル・チタン膜を作製し、その上に銅をスパッタで成膜し、400°C×30分間の真空アニール処理後のバリア性を、AESデプスプロファイル測定により確認した。
この結果、銅へのシリコンの拡散が認められず、実施例8のタンタル・チタン膜のバリア性が良好であることが確認できた。この結果を、同様に表1に示す。
純度99.9%、平均粒径150μmのチタン粉末15wt%と純度99.9%、平均粒径90μmのタンタル粉末を85wt%の条件で混合し、焼結体の原料とした。
次に、この原料粉末を、ホットプレス用の容器に入れ、真空雰囲気中、温度1200°C、保持時間2時間、加圧力240kgf/cm2の条件の下で、ホットプレスして焼結体を得た。焼結体の密度は80%となった。この例では、焼結温度が本願発明の条件よりも低い温度であるため、密度が十分に上がらないという結果となった。
次に、基板に付着した膜の密着性を評価した。剥離強度は、実施例1と同様に、スクラッチ試験により測定した。具体的には、下記条件でのスクラッチ試験後の試料を、光学顕微鏡により観察し、下地のガラス(ウエハ)が露出した点を皮膜の剥離点とし、スクラッチ開始点からの距離を測長することにより、剥離荷重を算出した。この結果、剥離荷重は15ミリニュートンで、良好であった。
次に、上記スパッタリング焼結体ターゲットを用いて、SiO2絶縁膜が形成された基板上へタンタル・チタン膜を作製し、その上に銅をスパッタで成膜し、400°C×30分間の真空アニール処理後のバリア性を、AESデプスプロファイル測定により確認した。この結果、銅へのシリコンの拡散は認められなかった。
この結果を、同様に表1に示す。
純度99.9%、平均粒径150μmのチタン粉末15wt%と純度99.9%、平均粒径90μmのタンタル粉末を85wt%の条件で混合し、焼結体の原料とした。
次に、この原料粉末を、ホットプレス用の容器に入れ、真空雰囲気中、温度1550°C、保持時間2時間、加圧力100kgf/cm2の条件の下で、ホットプレスして1wt%Tiを含有し、残部がTaからなる焼結体を得た。この場合、前記加圧力は、本願発明の条件を満たしていない。焼結体の密度は80%と大きく低下した。
この結果、パーティクル数は、18個となり、本願発明の実施例に比べて増加した。この原因は、密度低下が原因と考えられる。
次に、基板に付着した膜の密着性を評価した。剥離強度は、実施例1と同様に、スクラッチ試験により測定した。具体的には、下記条件でのスクラッチ試験後の試料を、光学顕微鏡により観察し、下地のガラス(ウエハ)が露出した点を皮膜の剥離点とし、スクラッチ開始点からの距離を測長することにより、剥離荷重を算出した。この結果、剥離荷重は15ミリニュートンで、良好であった。
次に、上記スパッタリング焼結体ターゲットを用いて、SiO2絶縁膜が形成された基板上へタンタル・チタン膜を作製し、その上に銅をスパッタで成膜し、400°C×30分間の真空アニール処理後のバリア性を、AESデプスプロファイル測定により確認した。この結果、銅へのシリコンの拡散は認められなかった。
この結果を、同様に表1に示す。
純度99.9%、平均粒径150μmのチタン粉末14wt%と純度99.9%、平均粒径90μmのタンタル粉末83wt%、これに、無電解めっきに対する触媒能を持つ白金、金、銀、パラジウム、ルテニウム、ロジウム、イリジウムの金属元素を合計3wt%添加して混合し、焼結体の原料とした。
次に、この原料粉末を、ホットプレス用の容器に入れ、真空雰囲気中、温度1550°C、保持時間2時間、加圧力240kgf/cm2の条件の下で、ホットプレスして焼結体を得た。焼結体の密度は95%となった。
この結果、パーティクル数は、9個となった。このパーティクル数は、密度向上が原因で、パーティクル数の減少になったと考えられる。
次に、基板に付着した膜の密着性の評価を評価した。剥離強度は、実施例1と同様に、スクラッチ試験により測定した。具体的には、下記条件でのスクラッチ試験後の試料を、光学顕微鏡により観察し、下地のガラス(ウエハ)が露出した点を皮膜の剥離点とし、スクラッチ開始点からの距離を測長することにより、剥離荷重を算出した。この結果、剥離荷重は18ミリニュートンで、良好な結果となった。
次に、上記スパッタリング焼結体ターゲットを用いて、SiO2絶縁膜が形成された基板上へタンタル・チタン膜を作製し、その上に銅をスパッタで成膜し、400°C×30分間の真空アニール処理後のバリア性を、AESデプスプロファイル測定により確認した。
この結果、銅へのシリコンの拡散が認められず、実施例9のタンタル・チタン膜のバリア性が良好であることが確認できた。
次に、無電解めっきによる銅の成膜は、以下の組成のめっき液を用いて、pH12.5、60℃×3~5分の条件で実施した。めっき時の銅膜とタンタル・チタン膜の、界面の酸化状態の確認をAESデプスプロファイル測定により確認した。
硫酸銅:0.02mol/L
エチレンジアミン四酢酸塩:0.21mol/L
グリオキシル酸:0.1mol/L
2,2‘-ビピリジル:20mg/L
ポリエチレンイミン(Mw10,000):200mg/L
pH12.5(水酸化カリウム)
この結果、めっき膜界面の耐酸化性が良好であることが確認できた。この結果を、同様に表1に示す。なお、本実施例9では、無電解めっきに対する触媒能を持つ白金、金、銀、パラジウム、ルテニウム、ロジウム、イリジウムの金属元素を合計3wt%添加して混合し、焼結体の原料とする例を示したが、白金、金、銀、パラジウム、ルテニウム、ロジウム、イリジウムから選択した1成分以上の金属元素を、1~15wt%の範囲で添加した場合も、同様の結果が得られた。
