本公开提供了一种金属互连结构的制备方法,其包括如下步骤:
提供电介质层,电介质层中具有互连凹槽;
在互连凹槽中制备金属互连层;以及,
采用包括钴有机化合物的原料,通过原子层沉积法在金属互连层上制备钴金属层,在钴有机化合物中,钴原子与四个氮原子以单键键合,四个氮原子两两成对,每对氮原子之间以有机基团相连接。
其中,金属互连结构指的是同时与多个器件连接的、用于实现导电的结构。在目前的工艺中,金属互连结构通常包括电介质层以及制备于电介质层中的金属互连层。金属互连结构中还包括位于金属互连层上的钴金属层,钴前驱体可以用于制备该钴金属层。
对于制备钴金属层来说,要求钴金属层能够选择性地仅沉积在金属互连层上,而基本不沉积在电介质层上。而受限于具体的原料以及实际的制备工艺,传统技术中仅能够通过化学气相沉积法的方式实现选择性制备,并且一直未能实现通过原子层沉积法的方式进行钴的选择性制备。然而随着器件的关键尺寸的不断缩小,化学气相沉积法的可控性较差、钴薄膜的质量较差等问题都愈发突出。
可以理解,电介质层的材料应当为绝缘材料,通常为非金属的绝缘材料。
其中,具有上述结构的钴有机化合物能够选择性地吸附于不同材质的基底上。具体地,该钴有机化合物能够选择性地吸附于包括铜、钌和铂等在内的金属材料上,而难以吸附至 包括硅、二氧化硅和氮化硅在内的非金属的电介质材料上。原子层沉积法的制备工艺恰好需要前驱体材料先吸附至沉积基底上,因此采用该类钴有机化合物作为前驱体,能够使得钴膜选择性地形成于金属互连层上,而电介质层上基本不具有钴原子或难以形成钴膜。
于本公开提供的金属互连结构的制备方法中,采用包括钴有机化合物的原料,通过原子层沉积法在金属互连层上制备钴金属层,在该钴有机化合物中,钴原子与四个氮原子以单键键合,且四个氮原子两两成对,每对氮原子之间以有机基团相连接。具有上述结构的钴有机化合物能够作为原子层沉积法的反应原料,并且在原子层沉积的过程中,该钴有机化合物能够选择性地吸附于金属互连层上而基本不吸附于电介质层上,使得形成的钴膜也选择性地形成于金属互连层上。相较于传统技术,通过原子层沉积法的方式制备钴膜,能够有效提高钴膜的制备可控性以及薄膜质量。
可以理解,钴膜的制备可控性可以包括钴膜的最小厚度、表面粗糙度以及钴金属层中的钴原子占比等参数。通常,钴膜的制备可控性越高,有利于制备得到更薄的、表面粗糙度更低的和/或钴原子占比更高的钴膜
可以理解,在采用该钴前驱体制备钴金属膜的过程中,通常还需要能够与该钴前驱体发生反应的反应物料。
进一步地,在该实施例的一些示例中,钴有机化合物具有如通式(1)所示的结构:
其中,R1、R2、R3和R4各自独立地选自取代或未取代的C1~C20的烷基、取代或未取代的C2~C20的烯基、取代或未取代的C2~C20的炔基、取代或未取代的C3~C20的环烃基;
L1和L2各自独立地选自取代或未取代的C1~C20的亚烷基、取代或未取代的C2~C20的亚烯基、取代或未取代的C2~C20的亚炔基;
且当R1、R2、R3、R4、L1和L2的基团存在取代时,取代基包括R5,R5每次出现,独立地选自烷基、卤原子、C1~C10的烷氧基、C1~C10的卤代烷基、C1~C10的卤代烷氧基或C6~C20的芳基。
可以理解,式(1)所提供的钴有机化合物中,钴原子以单键与四个氮原子相键合,并 且,四个氮原子两两成对,一对的两个氮原子之间通过有机链段相连接,并且每个氮原子上还可以连接有取代基。
在该实施例的一些示例中,R1、R2、R3和R4可以各自独立地选自C1~C10的烷基、C2~C10的烯基或C2~C10的炔基。进一步地,R1、R2、R3和R4可以各自独立地选自C1~C5的烷基、C2~C5的烯基或C2~C5的炔基。通过选取碳原子数较少的基团,有助于使得钴有机化合物在制备过程中更易于气化并吸附至金属互连层上,提高钴金属层的均匀性和制造效率。
在该实施例的一些示例中,R1、R2、R3和R4各自独立地选自C3~C4的烷基,例如正丙基、异丙基、正丁基、异丁基或叔丁基。其中,正丙基的结构式为-CH2CH2CH3,异丙基的结构式为-CH(CH3)2,正丁基的结构式为-CH2CH2CH2CH3,异丁基的结构式为-CH(CH3)CH2CH3,叔丁基的结构式为-C(CH3)3
在该实施例的一些示例中,L1和L2各自独立地选自C1~C10的亚烷基、C2~C10的亚烯基或C2~C10的亚炔基。进一步地,R1、R2、R3和R4可以各自独立地选自C1~C5的亚烷基、C2~C5的亚烯基或C2~C5的亚炔基。通过选取较短的链段,有助于提高该钴有机化合物的反应活性,提高钴金属层的均匀性和制造效率。
在该实施例的一些示例中,L1和L2各自独立地选自C1~C2的亚烷基、C2的亚烯基以及C2的亚炔基。例如,L1和L2各自独立地选自亚甲基(-CH2-)、1,2-亚乙基(-CH2CH2-)、1,1-亚乙基(-CH(CH3)-)、1,2-亚乙烯基(-CH=CH-)或乙炔基(-C≡C-)。
其中,通过如上基团的选取,能够使得该钴前驱体具有较高的反应活性,并且使得反应副产物较为容易被去除。
在该实施例的一些示例中,R1、R2、R3和R4选自相同的基团,例如R1、R2、R3和R4共同为异丙基或叔丁基。
在该实施例的一些示例中,L1和L2也选自相同的基团,例如L1和L2可以共同为1,1-亚乙基、1,2-亚乙基、1,2-亚乙烯基或亚乙炔基。
在该实施例的一些实例中,通式(1)选自如下结构之一:
其中,如上述结构式所示出的钴前驱体,特别适用于原子层沉积法,其能够在例如铂、铜和钌等金属基底上沉积形成钴原子含量超过90%的钴薄膜,而在例如硅和二氧化硅等基 底上不发生沉积。
其中,以结构式为例,以结构式表示L1和L2均为1,2-亚乙烯基(-CH=CH-)。但得益于较为对称的结构,两对氮原子以及所连接的链段之间能够发生共轭并产生离域电子对,从而使得如上述式中的结构更为稳定。
在该实施例的一些示例中,该金属互连结构的制备过程包括如下步骤:
提供电介质层,电介质层中具有互连凹槽;
在互连凹槽中制备金属互连层;以及,
在金属互连层上制备钴金属层,制备所述钴金属层的步骤包括:采用包括所述钴前驱体的原料,通过原子层沉积法在所述金属互连层上沉积所述钴金属层。
本公开提供的钴前驱体可以作为原子层沉积法所需的钴原料,并且能够选择性地沉积于金属基底上而不沉积于介质层上。相较于传统的化学气相沉积法的制备方式,采用该钴前驱体以原子层沉积法的方式能够实现钴金属层的逐层制备,提高钴金属层在膜层厚度以及薄膜均匀性方面的可控性,并且还有利于获得质量更高的钴金属层,满足更小尺寸器件的需要。
为了便于理解上述钴前驱体在制备金属互连结构中的应用方式,本公开还提供了一种如图1所示的金属互连结构的制备方法的步骤示意图。参照图1所示,该金属互连结构的制备方法包括步骤S1~步骤S5。
步骤S1,提供电介质层。
图2示出了本公开提供的电介质层110的结构示意图。参照图2所示,该电介质层110中设置有互连凹槽111。
可以理解,该互连凹槽111用于供后续制备的金属互连层150填充。图2中示出的互连凹槽111呈多层阶梯状,但在实际的制备过程中,互连凹槽111也可以制备成其他形状,例如孔的截面可以呈梯形状、矩形状或不规则形状,只要能够填充制备金属互连层150即可。
在该实施例的一些示例中,电介质层110的材料可以是低介电常数材料(也称为low-K材料)。例如,电介质层110的材料的介电常数≤3.9。进一步地,电介质层110的材料 的介电常数≤2.8。通过选取介电常数更低的电介质层110材料,能够降低金属互连层150之间的寄生电容。
在该实施例的一些示例中,电介质层110的材料可以包括硅化合物。例如,电介质层110的材料可以选自二氧化硅、硅基聚合物材料、碳掺杂氧化硅和硅基气凝胶中的一种或多种。其中,硅基聚合物材料可以是例如SiLK、HSQ(hydrogen silsesquioxane)和MSQ(methylsilsesquioxane)中的一种或多种。碳掺杂氧化硅可以是例如Black Diamond、Coral和Aurora中的一种或多种。
在该实施例中,电介质层110的材料包括二氧化硅。
步骤S2,在互连凹槽中制备阻挡层和衬垫层。
图3示出了在图2所示结构的基础上制备阻挡层120的结构示意图。参照图3所示,阻挡层120制备于互连凹槽111中,且覆盖互连凹槽111的槽壁。
其中,阻挡层120用于间隔电介质层110以及后续制备的金属互连层150,阻挡金属互连层150中的金属原子向电介质中扩散。
在该实施例的一些示例中,阻挡层120的材料可以包括钽、氮化钽、钛、氮化钛和氮化钛硅中的一种或多种。在该实施例中,阻挡层120的材料可以包括氮化钽。
另外,在该实施例的一些示例中,阻挡层120也可以是多种材料形成的复合层,例如,阻挡层120可以是由钽层和氮化钽层叠置形成的复合层。
在该实施例的一些示例中,制备阻挡层120的方法可以是化学气相沉积法或原子层沉积法。
参照图3所示,在该实施例的一些示例中,在制备阻挡层120时,阻挡层120的材料也可以一并沉积于互连凹槽111之外的电介质层110表面。
阻挡层120的厚度可以根据实际需求进行限制。在该实施例的一些示例中,阻挡层120的厚度可以是0.5nm~10nm。进一步地,阻挡层120的厚度可以是0.5nm~5nm。更进一步地,阻挡层120的厚度可以是0.5nm~3nm。
图4示出了在图3所示结构的基础上制备衬垫层130的结构示意图。参照图4所示,衬垫层130制备于互连凹槽111中,且层叠设置于阻挡层120的表面。
可以理解,衬垫层130也可以用于间隔电介质与后续制备的金属互连层150。另外,衬垫层130还可以作为后续制备的种子层的形核基底,提高后续制备的层的均匀程度以及填空能力。
在该实施例的一些示例中,衬垫层130的材料可以是钴和钌中的一种或多种。
在该实施例的一些示例中,制备衬垫层130的方法可以是化学气相沉积法或原子层沉 积法。
在该实施例的一些示例中,衬垫层130的厚度可以是1nm~10nm。进一步地,衬垫层130的厚度可以是1nm~5nm。更进一步地,衬垫层130的厚度可以是1nm~3nm。
在该实施例的一些示例中,衬垫层130的材料可以包括钴。可以理解,通过采用原子层沉积法的方式制备钴,能够提高衬垫层130的制备可控性,以获得厚度更薄且更为均匀地衬垫层130。
在该实施例的一些示例中,当衬垫层130的材料为钴时,可以控制衬垫层130的厚度为1nm~10nm。
在该实施例的一些示例中,在制备衬垫层130之前,还可以采用等离子体轰击阻挡层120表面,以清洁阻挡层120表面,降低衬垫层130的制备难度。
在该实施例的一些示例中,在制备衬垫层130时,衬垫层130的材料也可以一并沉积于互连凹槽111之外。
步骤S3,在互连凹槽中制备金属互连层。
图5示出了在图4所示结构的基础上制备金属种子层140和金属互连层150的结构示意图。参照图5所示,金属种子层140层叠设置于衬垫层130上,金属互连层150制备于互连凹槽111中且层叠设置于衬垫层130上。
在该实施例的一些示例中,制备金属互连层150的方式可以选自电镀法。电镀法能够使得金属互连层150尽可能均匀且充分地填充于互连凹槽111中。
在该实施例的一些示例中,在制备金属互连层150之前,还包括在互连凹槽111中制备金属种子层140的步骤。金属种子层140可以用作为制备金属互连层150时的种子,以使得金属互连层150能够更为充分地填充于互连凹槽111中。
在该实施例的一些示例中,金属种子层140的制备方式可以选自物理气相沉积法。
在该实施例的一些示例中,金属种子层140的材料与金属互连层150的材料相同。
在该实施例的一些示例中,金属互连层150的材料可以选自铂、钴、铜和钌中的一种或多种。在该实施例中,金属互连层150的材料为铜。
可以理解,在实际的制备过程中,金属种子层140和金属互连层150的材料也可能会沉积于互连凹槽111之外。因此,在该实施例的一些示例中,在制备金属互连层150之后,还包括对电介质层110以及位于电介质层110上的结构进行平坦化处理的步骤,以去除位于互连凹槽111之外的金属互连层150、金属种子层140、衬垫层130和阻挡层120的材料。
图6示出了在图5所示结构的基础上进行平坦化处理后的结构示意图。参照图6所示, 在该实施例的一些示例中,金属互连层150的顶面与电介质层110的槽口齐平。进一步地、金属种子层140、衬垫层130和阻挡层120的顶面也均与电介质层110的槽口齐平。
在该实施例的一些示例中,平坦化处理的方式可以是化学机械抛光法(Chemical Mechanical Polishing,CMP)。采用化学机械抛光法处理电介质层110及其表面上的层结构,能够使得处理后的电介质层110和金属互连层150尽可能平坦,便于后续的钴金属层160的制备。
步骤S4,在金属互连层上制备钴金属层。
图7示出了在图6所示结构的基础上制备钴金属层160的结构示意图。参照图7所示,钴金属层160层叠设置于金属互连层150上,并且介质层上不具有该钴金属层160。
在该实施例中,钴金属层160可以采用钴有机化合物通过原子层沉积法的方式制备。该钴有机化合物的结构具有如下的通式:
其中,R1、R2、R3和R4各自独立地选自R5取代或未取代的C1~C20的烷基、R5取代或未取代的C2~C20的烯基、R5取代或未取代的C2~C20的炔基、R5取代或未取代的C3~C20的环烃基;
L1和L2各自独立地选自R5取代或未取代的C1~C20的亚烷基、R5取代或未取代的C2~C20的亚烯基、R5取代或未取代的C2~C20的亚炔基、R5取代或未取代的C3~C20的亚环烃基;
R5每次出现,各自独立地选自卤原子、C1~C10的烷氧基、C1~C10的卤代烷基、C1~C10的卤代烷氧基或C6~C20的芳基。
可以理解,在该钴有机化合物中钴原子以单键与与四个氮原子相键合,并且,四个氮原子两两成对,一对的两个氮原子之间通过有机链段相连接,并且每个氮原子上还可以连接有取代基。
如式(1)所示的钴有机化合物能够作为制备钴金属的钴前驱体。例如,可以采用该钴有机化合物作为原子层沉积法中的原料,并在沉积过程中生成钴金属。特别的是,当该钴有机化合物在沉积反应中生成钴金属时,钴原子对于沉积基底具有较高的选择性,钴原子 会沉积于例如铜、铂和钌等金属材料的表面,而不会沉积于例如硅和二氧化硅等一些非金属电介质材料的表面。由此,本公开想到了将该钴前驱体应用于制备金属互连结构中。钴金属通常在金属互连结构中作为阻挡金属原子扩散的阻挡材料,将该钴有机化合物应用于金属互连结构的制备中,能够利用钴有机化合物对于沉积基底的选择性,提高钴金属层在金属互连结构中的制备可控性。
在该实施例的一些示例中,R1、R2、R3和R4选自相同的基团,例如R1、R2、R3和R4共同为异丙基或叔丁基。
在该实施例的一些示例中,L1和L2也选自相同的基团,例如L1和L2可以共同为1,1-亚乙基、1,2-亚乙基、1,2-亚乙烯基或亚乙炔基。
在该实施例的一些实例中,该钴前驱体选自如下结构之一:

具有上述结构的钴有机化合物特别适用于原子层沉积法,其能够选择性地在金属互连层150上沉积,并且形成钴原子含量超过90%的钴金属层160,而在电介质层110上不发生沉积。并且,采用该钴有机化合物以原子层沉积法的方式能够实现钴金属层160的逐层制备,提高钴金属层160在膜层厚度以及薄膜均匀性方面的可控性,并且还有利于获得质量更高的钴金属层160,满足更小尺寸器件的需要。
可以理解,原子层沉积法是通过将气相前驱体脉冲交替地通入反应器并在沉积基体上化学吸附并反应而形成沉积膜的一种方法,因而原子层沉积法需要采用原料,该原料应当包括上述钴有机化合物。可以理解,在采用该钴有机化合物制备钴金属膜的过程中,通常还需要能够与该钴前驱体发生反应的反应物料。尽管该钴有机化合物能够选择性地吸附于金属互连层上,但若要制备更均匀、粗糙度更低以及钴原子占比更高的钴膜,还需要在钴有机化合物形成钴原子的过程中保证钴原子的均匀沉积,否则钴膜的质量仍然难以提升。
在该实施例的一些示例中,在制备钴金属层160的过程中,原料还包括能够与所述钴有机化合物反应的反应物料,该反应物料包括叔丁基胺(C(CH3)3NH2)和二乙胺((CH3CH2)2NH)中的一种或多种。通过该反应物料与上述钴有机化合物反应,更有利于钴原子的均匀沉积,以便于获得厚度更低、表面粗糙度更低以及钴原子占比更高的钴膜。
在该实施例的一些示例中,沉积钴金属层的过程包括一个或多个沉积循环,每一个沉积循环包括通入钴有机化合物、吹扫钴有机化合物、通入反应物料以及吹扫反应物料,其中,通入钴有机化合物的持续时间为1s~30s,吹扫钴有机化合物的持续时间为1s~30s,通入反应物料的持续时间为1s~30s,吹扫反应物料的持续时间为1s~30s。其中,可以采用保护性气体吹扫钴有机化合物和吹扫反应物料,保护性气体可以是氮气、氦气、氖气和氩气中的一种或多种。
可以理解,在一个沉积循环中,通入钴有机化合物的作用在于使得钴有机化合物吸附于待镀膜衬底的表面,吹扫钴有机化合物的作用在于去除反应腔室中多余的钴有机化合物, 而只保留吸附于待镀膜衬底表面的钴有机化合物。控制通入钴有机化合物的持续时间以及吹扫钴有机化合物的持续时间,能够尽可能控制钴有机化合物充分且选择性地附着于金属互连层150上。通入反应物料的作用在于与附着的钴有机化合物反应并生成钴金属原子,吹扫反应物料的作用则在于清洗反应腔室并为下一次沉积循环做准备。控制通入反应物料的而持续时间能够使得钴有机化合物充分反应以形成完整覆盖于金属互连层150上的钴金属层160。
在该实施例的一些示例中,在沉积钴金属层160的过程中,沉积循环的数量≤300。当沉积循环过多时,已经制备的钴金属层160的原子可能会逐渐向电介质层110表面扩散,并且电介质层110的表面状态也可能发生改变,进而导致钴在沉积过程中的选择性下降。因此通过控制沉积循环的数量≤300,能够尽可能确保钴金属层160不沉积于电介质层110表面。
在该实施例的一些示例中,在沉积钴金属层160的过程中,可以控制沉积循环的数量≤300。进一步地,可以控制沉积循环的数量为10~300。例如,沉积循环的数量可以是10、30、50、100、150、200、250、300。沉积循环的数量也可以是上述数量之间的范围。
另外,可以理解,通过选取电介质层110的材料为硅基材料,也有利于在钴金属层160的制备过程中避免钴原子在电介质层110上的沉积。
在该实施例的一些示例中,在沉积钴金属层160的过程中,控制沉积过程的反应温度为100℃~400℃。通过控制合适的反应温度,能够使得钴金属层160沉积得尽可能均匀,并且也有利于控制钴金属层160的沉积速率。
在该实施例的一些示例中,在沉积钴金属层160的过程中,控制钴金属层160的厚度为1nm~30nm。
在该实施例的一些示例中,沉积钴金属层160的过程可以在还原性气体的氛围中进行,以保证钴金属层160的均匀性。可以理解,还原性气体有助于避免钴金属层160在制备过程中发生的氧化,并进而避免该钴有机化合物的选择性吸附和沉积导致的钴金属层160不均匀的问题。
在沉积钴金属层160之后,钴金属层160表面也可能会产生少量氧化层。在该实施例的一些示例中,还包括去除钴金属层160表面的氧化层的步骤。
在该实施例的一些示例中,去除钴金属层160表面的自然氧化层方式可以是采用等离子体处理钴金属层160表面,也可以是采用还原性气体处理钴金属层160表面。其中,还原性气体可以是氢气。在采用还原性气体处理金属互连层150的过程中,还可以一并通入保护性气体,例如氮气。
在沉积钴金属层160之前,金属互连层150的表面可能存在少量自然氧化层,这可能会影响制备的钴金属层160的均匀性。因此,在该实施例的一些示例中,在制备钴金属层160之前,还包括去除金属互连层150表面的自然氧化层的步骤。
在该实施例的一些示例中,去除该金属互连层150表面的自然氧化层方式可以是采用等离子体处理金属互连层150表面,也可以是采用还原性气体处理金属互连层150表面。其中,还原性气体可以是氢气。在采用还原性气体处理金属互连层150的过程中,还可以一并通入保护性气体,例如氮气。
在该实施例的一些示例中,在沉积过程中,可以控制钴金属层的表面的粗糙度≤2nm。其中,钴金属层表面的粗糙度定义为钴金属层的最高点与最低点之间的高度差,粗糙度可以通过原子力显微镜测试得到。
在该实施例的一些实例中,在沉积过程中,可以控制钴金属层的表面的粗糙度≤1nm。进一步地,钴金属层的表面的粗糙度≤0.5nm。
可以理解,尽管采用钴有机化合物制备钴金属层,但在实际的制备产物中,受到反应副产物或反应腔室等环境的影响,钴金属层并不一定仅包括钴原子,即钴金属层中钴原子的占比并不一定能够达到100%。
通过选取合适的反应物料,该实施例所用的钴有机化合物能够制备得到较高钴原子占比的钴金属层。在该实施例的一些示例中,钴金属层中钴原子的占比≥90%。进一步地,钴金属层中钴原子的占比≥95%。更进一步地,钴金属层中钴原子的占比≥98%。
在该实施例的一些示例中,钴金属层160还可以层叠设置于金属种子层140和衬垫层130上。可以理解,这主要取决于钴原子是否能够沉积于金属种子层140和衬垫层130上,但这不影响钴金属层160的制备。
另外,在该实施例中,衬垫层130的材料包括钴,该步骤中制备的钴金属层160可以与衬垫层130相连接,钴金属层160与衬垫层130共同形成围绕金属互连层150的钴层,阻止金属互连层150的原子向四周电介质层110中扩散。
相较于传统的化学气相沉积法的制备方式,采用该钴有机化合物以原子层沉积法的方式能够实现钴金属层160的逐层制备,提高钴金属层160在膜层厚度以及薄膜均匀性方面的可控性,并且还有利于获得质量更高的钴金属层160,满足更小尺寸器件的需要。
通过步骤S1~步骤S4,能够完成本公开的金属互连结构的制备。
采用该钴有机化合物通过原子层沉积法的方式制备得到的钴金属层具有厚度可控以及均匀性可控的特点,适用于更小尺寸器件的制备。
进一步地,本公开还提供了一种由上述实施例中的金属互连结构的制备方法制备得到 的金属互连结构。该金属互连结构的一个实施例可以参照图7所示。
参照图7所示,该金属互连结构包括:电介质层110、金属互连层150和钴金属层160;
电介质层110中具有互连凹槽111,金属互连层150位于互连凹槽111中,钴金属层160位于金属互连层150的表面上且不接触电介质层110。
在该实施例的一些示例中,钴金属层160的厚度≤30nm,钴金属层160的表面的粗糙度≤2nm。其中,钴金属层160表面的粗糙度定义为钴金属层160的最高点与最低点之间的高度差,粗糙度可以通过原子力显微镜测试得到。
在该实施例的一些实例中,钴金属层160的表面的粗糙度≤1nm。进一步地,钴金属层160的表面的粗糙度≤0.5nm。
在该实施例的一些示例中,钴金属层160的厚度为1nm~10nm。例如,钴金属层160的厚度可以是1nm、2nm、3nm、5nm、8nm、10nm。钴金属层160的厚度也可以是上述厚度之间的范围。
在该实施例的一些示例中,钴金属层160中钴原子的占比≥90%。进一步地,钴金属层160中钴原子的占比≥95%。更进一步地,钴金属层160中钴原子的占比≥98%。
对于传统技术中通过化学气相沉积法制备的钴金属层160来说,受限于化学气相沉积法的精度,制备的钴金属层160表面的粗糙度通常超过2nm。并且,如果要获得无空洞的薄膜,化学气相沉积法制备的钴金属层160的厚度通常需要达到30nm以上。另外,化学气相沉积法制备的钴金属层160中,钴原子的占比通常也低于90%。
本公开采用上述钴有机化合物实现了钴金属层160的选择性原子层沉积。得益于在原子层沉积过程中逐层钴原子沉积的特点,通过选取合适的反应物料及制备工艺,在该钴金属层160的厚度达到30nm时,其粗糙度也能够控制在2nm以下,钴金属层160中钴原子的占比能够达到90%以上。因此,相较于传统技术,本公开提供的应用能够有效提高钴金属层160在制备过程中的可控程度,薄膜的质量也能够得到有效提高。
在该实施例的一些示例中,该金属互连结构还可以包括设置于金属互连层150与电介质层110之间的阻挡层120、衬垫层130和金属种子层140,阻挡层120、衬垫层130和金属种子层140自电介质层110至金属互连层150的方向依次叠置。
进一步地,本公开还提供了半导体组件,该半导体组件包括上述金属互连结构以及多个半导体器件,多个半导体器件之间通过该金属互连结构电连接。
在该实施例的一些示例中,该半导体组件可以是集成电路,例如逻辑芯片或存储器。
在该实施例的一些示例中,该半导体组件可以是存储器。
