Abstract

A new characterization tool based on ultrasonic force microscopy (UFM) has been developed to image the nanoscale mechanical properties of metal/low-k polymer damascence test structures. Metal and polymer regions are differentiated on the basis of elastic modulus with a spatial resolution /spl les/10 nm. This technique reveals a RIE-induced hardening of the low-k polymer at the metal/polymer interface and offers new opportunities for metrological reliability evaluation of low-k integration processes.
纳米尺度弹性成像:一种新的低k介电积分测量工具
提出了一种基于超声力显微镜(UFM)的表征工具,用于表征金属/低k聚合物荧光测试结构的纳米级力学性能。根据弹性模量对金属和聚合物区域进行区分,空间分辨率为/spl / 10nm。该技术揭示了低k聚合物在金属/聚合物界面处的rie诱导硬化,并为低k集成过程的计量可靠性评估提供了新的机会。
