From the microstructural and diffusional analyses, the Cu diffusion mechanism through the barrier layers was explained by grain boundary and lattice diffusion.","PeriodicalId":286980,"journal":{"name":"1998 5th International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology.

{"title":"Spin-on dielectric films-a general overview","authors":"Shizhi Wang","doi":"10.1109/ICSICT.1998.786546","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSICT.1998.786546","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper an overview of both new and existing spin-on dielectric materials used in the manufacture of integrated circuit devices will be presented. Present day integrated circuit devices have 2 to 3 levels of metal interconnects, and future devices may contain upwards of 6 metal levels. This evolving structural complexity necessitates the development of low dielectric constant insulators keeping the RC time constant of the metal-insulator structure to a minimum. This meets the needs of today's high clock speed devices. In addition, spin-on dielectric films must be capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 400/spl deg/C, resistant to water absorption, have good adhesion to underlying films, generate crack free films ranging in thickness from 0.1 to 1 /spl mu/m, and possess excellent mechanical and electrical strength. Spin-on dielectric films can be classified into four families: silicate, siloxane, organic, and nanoporous silicate. Silicates are silicon dioxide films formed by the cross-linking reaction of hydroxylated-silicate oligomers. Siloxanes are silicate compounds that are either partially or fully methylated. The addition of the methyl group lowers the film stress, lowers the dielectric constant by lowering the film density, and at the same time improves the gap fill and planarization of these films. Hydrogen, and have hydrogenmethyl siloxane combinations are under evaluation as well. Organic dielectrics are currently receiving a lot of attention from semiconductor device manufacturers and have-the benefit that thick, crack free, films can be formed. Organic polymers, on the other hand, are limited by their thermal stability. Nanoporous silicates overcome this issue by retaining a thermally stable silicon-oxygen backbone but make use of a modified xerogel technology to impart a nanoporous film structure resulting in ultra-low dielectric constant films.","PeriodicalId":286980,"journal":{"name":"1998 5th International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology.

Furthermore, as the temperature becomes lower, the decrease in (N/sub V/)/sub SiGe//(N/sub V/)Si becomes more rapid. It is also show that as the Ge fraction increases, although it has little effect on the ionized doping concentration at room temperature, the ionized doping concentration increases at low temperatures compared with that in Si. This implies that carrier freeze-out is mitigated at low temperatures, which can have a beneficial effect on the operation of Si/sub -x/Ge/sub x/-based devices at low temperatures.","PeriodicalId":286980,"journal":{"name":"1998 5th International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology.

For example the space grade IC should withstand hard temperature shock from +125/spl deg/C to -55/spl deg/C or reverse in 5 mins. For failure analysis techniques, it is necessary to investigate the performance of an IC under different temperatures. Therefore the demand for new test equipment arises, which can cool or heat ICs to make the die temperature of the IC change from high to low or from low to high. There are some mechanical refrigeration systems that you can choose, but it is difficult to control the temperature of the IC, and this kind of apparatus often has problems in the summer. We have developed a new equipment with working temperatures in the range of -55/spl deg/C/spl sim/+125/spl deg/C, it uses a thermoelectric cooler as cooling or heating units. We can easily control the cold plate temperature by means of regulating the input voltage. In this equipment, the cold side can be smoothly regulated, stabilized and indicated on the display. This paper introduces the design of the control system and multistage TEM cooling system, the cooling power of which is 3 W, when the temperature of cold side is -55/spl deg/C and hot side is 30/spl deg/C.","PeriodicalId":286980,"journal":{"name":"1998 5th International Conference on Solid-State and Integrated Circuit Technology.
