A spark discharge generates gas ions and charged species of the desired metal, which are transported by a gas flow and form a plasma jet. Prior lateral nano-bridge growth is further developed and enables the localized metal species deposition into vertical interconnect openings. This approach is additive and saves rare materials during processing. The process allows precise adjustment of the diameter, airgap size, and top finishing bump of the vertical interconnect.","PeriodicalId":241835,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC) and IEEE Materials for Advanced Metallization Conference (MAM)(IITC/MAM)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131997337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ALD-ZnO as a diffusion barrier and glue layer is selectively grown on SiO2 not on Cu using dodecanethiol (DDT) as an inhibitor. ALD-Ru as a liner and seed layer is grown on both ZnO and Cu surfaces using Ru metalorganic precursor, tricarbonyl(trimethylenemethane)-ruthenium [Ru(TMM)(CO)3]. The properties of Ru/ZnO bilayer are evaluated by diffusion barrier test and interfacial adhesion energy measurement of Cu/Ru/ZnO/Si multilayer. As a result, the formation of Cu silicides and the conductivity degradation do not occur with an increase in the annealing temperature up to 700 °C. The interfacial adhesion energy of Ru/SiO2 structure is measured using double cantilever beam test. Interfacial adhesion energy increases with ZnO (2 nm) between Ru and SiO2.","PeriodicalId":241835,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC) and IEEE Materials for Advanced Metallization Conference (MAM)(IITC/MAM)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134356118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nano-level topography control before bonding is the crucial factor to realize high bonding yield. In this study, In-Situ corrosion behavior in the CMP by the slurry component was investigated in various methods. The difference of the corrosion current between Cu and Ta was able to be adjusted by H2O2 concentration. In addition, post-CMP cleaning may cause further recess of Cu pad while removing the carbon contamination. Therefore, we investigated the impact of post-CMP clean for Cu pad recess, as well as the N2 plasma, which is used to activate surface for bonding. XPS and AFM verified that the plasma activation could decompose BTA residues without increasing the surface roughness. These results foresee us the optimized surface topography formation process for fine pitch hybrid bonding.","PeriodicalId":241835,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC) and IEEE Materials for Advanced Metallization Conference (MAM)(IITC/MAM)","volume":"405 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122194585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scheme feasibility is demonstrated on interconnect pitches targeting for 2nm technology node and beyond. Up to 25% coupling capacitance reduction compared to state-of-the-art copper damascene interconnect is achieved by integrating airgap to directly patterned metal lines. Simultaneous line resistance reduction is made possible by proper conductor selection to enable larger grain size and free of metal barrier process required in conventional copper damascene scheme. Performance scalability is demonstrated through the well-controlled airgap height control enabled by the incorporation of a novel airgap formation material removable by thermal process. Finally, scheme robustness is demonstrated through electrical and reliability tests.","PeriodicalId":241835,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC) and IEEE Materials for Advanced Metallization Conference (MAM)(IITC/MAM)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126563719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
