Films annealed at 150/spl deg/C showed very similar behavior to those annealed at room temperature for three days in many aspects, including sheet resistance, hardness, surface morphology, and CMP polish rate. Annealing at temperatures higher than 300/spl deg/C resulted in lower sheet resistance, larger grain size, and rougher surfaces, as well as better CMP performance. Atomic force microscopy showed that the surface was rougher as the annealing temperature increased. Better CMP polish rate and uniformity were obtained on fully recrystallized films. Therefore, post-EPD annealing at about 300/spl deg/C to stabilize the copper films is necessary for better CMP process performance.","PeriodicalId":319568,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1999 International Interconnect Technology Conference (Cat.

Excessive overetch for Al interconnects can cause reliability problems because of veil formation, as well as create very high aspect ratio recesses that are difficult to fill. The reasons for variation in interlevel dielectric (ILD) thickness and via etch rate are discussed. For the Al-W interconnect system, oxide CMP controls the ILD thickness. In addition, the via etch rate has been observed to drop over time. Both contribute significant variations to via overetch. For a via-first dual-inlaid integration, the ILD deposition determines the via depth uniformity. In metal-first dual-inlaid, the metal trench etch controls the via depth. In both cases, the via etch rate has been optimized to be more stable over time. Overall, the Al-W integration has a very wide range of via depths and etch rates that must be tolerated, whereas the dual-inlaid integrations have only a few percent of variation.","PeriodicalId":319568,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1999 International Interconnect Technology Conference (Cat.

An inverter ring oscillator with a three-line three-section RC interconnect model is used for this study. It is shown that a dual damascene Cu interconnect with lower k-value anti-diffusion layer such as SiBON (k=3.9) can out-perform Al-based interconnects for the same conductor thickness, when intra- and inter-metal dielectrics of similar k-value are used. In addition, when using Cu with 60% of Al thickness, the dual damascene Cu/USG has better interconnect delay performance than even Al/HSQ for narrow metal spacing. Guidelines for dual damascene Cu interconnect optimization can be obtained through the sensitivity study of interconnect process parameters on RC delay presented here.","PeriodicalId":319568,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1999 International Interconnect Technology Conference (Cat.

Cu-CMP has been widely reported as one of the leading techniques for Cu interconnect applications. Cu CMP, however, involves several issues such as Cu dishing, Cu recess, oxide erosion and oxide rounding (Steigerwald, 1997). We have previously reported the high performance of a new slurry free Cu-CMP (Matsumoto et al., 1998). Although a large number of studies have been made of Cu-CMP, little is known about the chemical reaction mechanism, since the conventional technique using slurry and a porous pad has a complex mechanism, i.e. the cohesion of abrasive particles and chemical reaction. Therefore, to solve these issues, this paper reports the mechanism and performance of a new slurry-free Cu-CMP technique. We conclude that dishing and erosion issues can be solved by means of the chemical approach in a new slurry free Cu-CMP technique.","PeriodicalId":319568,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1999 International Interconnect Technology Conference (Cat.

C-1s XPS shows that films from HFPO are dominated by CF/sub 2/ groups, films from CH/sub 2/F/sub 2/ are dominated by C-CF groups, and films from C/sub 2/H/sub 2/F/sub 4/ have significant concentrations of both groups. Gas-phase FTIR has been used to identify the species in each pulsed plasma effluent and the pulsed plasma chemistry has been inferred from them. Large differences in gas-phase effluent species have been found between the three precursors, and a correlation can be drawn between the dominant reactions in a pulsed plasma and the resulting films. Finally, /sup 19/F and /sup 13/C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been used to further define the various film structures, and these more detailed structural analyses have been used to correlate specific structural configurations to thermal stability.","PeriodicalId":319568,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE 1999 International Interconnect Technology Conference (Cat.
