Abstract
PAALD (plasma assisted atomic layer deposition)-TaN thin films derived from a precursor, tert-amylimidotrisdim-ethylamidotantalum (TAIMATA), for the diffusion barrier in Cu interconnects were developed and compared to the thermal ALD-TaN. The deposition rate of the PAALD-TaN process was around /spl sim/0.9 /spl Aring//cycle at 250 /spl deg/C. The resistivity of TaN film by the PAALD was /spl sim/ 366 /spl mu/ohm-cm, while the resistivity by the thermal ALD was not measurable. The PAALD-TaN and thermal ALD-TaN film appeared to have cubic and amorphous phase, respectively. In Cu metallization, as TaN thickness increased, via resistance with thermal ALD-TaN increased dramatically, but via resistance with PAALD-TaN was almost constant and much lower than that with thermal ALD-TaN. Using PAALD-TaN, the diffusion barrier characteristics was also improved in comparison to thermal ALD-TaN.
