Ru gave a resistance ~2x higher than Co when a 1.1 nm titanium nitride (TiN) film, realized by atomic layer deposition (ALD), was used as an adhesion/nucleation layer. The lowest SV resistance of 56 Ω at the median was obtained with 0.3 nm of titanium oxide (TiOx) ALD and Ru CVD. This configuration gave a 3.4x lower resistance than the equivalent scheme with 0.3 nm TiN ALD and 15% lower resistance than the stacked-via configuration (with 0.3 nm TiOx and Ru fill), meaning that an IR-drop penalty is avoided when compared to the stacked-via approach. A congestion reduction can also be expected from the CD reduction of the SVs as the exclusion area in the intermediate layer can be smaller. Thermal shock tests for both Ru and Co SVs produced no failure after 1000 cycles between −50 °C and 125 °C, and 250 hours.","PeriodicalId":6823,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC)","volume":"39 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81399944","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}

In this work, the growth behavior of ALD titanium silicate are studied by correlating different characterization results, including infrared spectra, chemical compositions, and X-ray reflection spectra. Correlative results suggest that the surface density of hydroxyl group would be a key role for different growth characteristics of titanium silicates. Also, the feasibility of ALD titanium silicate as a spacer is evaluated, such as etch rates and deposited titanium silicates shows better quality than a conventional SiO2 spacer.
