摘要

Comparative study of IMP (Ionized Metal Plasma)-Cu and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition)-Cu on diffusion barrier properties of IMP-TaN has been investigated in the Cu (200nm)/TaN (30nm)/SiO_2 (250nm)/Si multi-layer structure. The thermal stability was evaluated by electrical measurements, XRD and RBS. As a main part of the studies, the atomic intermixing, new compound formation, and phase transitions in the test structure were also studied. For the comparison of IMP and CVD deposited Cu and their effect on the IMP-TaN diffusion barrier, AFM, SIMS, XRD and RBS were employed in conjunction with electrical measurements. The IMP-Cu/IMP-TaN7 SiO_2(250nm)/Si structure was found to be stable up to 800°C, which is much higher than 550 °C of CVD-Cu/IMP-TaN/ SiO_2(250nm)/Si structure( Fig.1). IMP-TaN thin film shows a better metallurgical and thermal stability with IMP-Cu than CVD-Cu thin film not due to lower concentration of oxygen and carbon in Cu film, but due to the smaller grain size and lower roughness of IMP-Cu microstructure. Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) analysis showed that both IMP and CVD Cu have almost the same concentrations and depth profiles of carbon and oxygen. AFM images (Fig.2) revealed that CVD Cu has a much larger grain size (170nm) and higher surface roughness (RMS -15nm) than IMP Cu with 30nm and 1.4nm, respectively. A comparison of the RBS spectra (Fig.3) of CVD-Cu/IMP-TaN/SiO_2/Si and IMP-Cu/IMP-TaN/SiO_2Si structures annealed to 650 °C for 35 min showed that the CVD Cu spectrum has a peak at the surface scattering energy of Ta, showing Ta accumulation on the surface. Heavy tailing of the Cu peak is also observed. These features are less significant in the IMP spectrum, indicating that intermixing and/or agglomeration of the constituent elements is far more severe in the sample with CVD Cu. It was also found that IMP sputtering of Cu made the individual grains tightly packed and hence increased the packing density. Correspondingly, IMP Cu deposition method enhanced the IMP-TaN diffusion barrier property by suppressing the fast diffusion and intermixing between Cu and TaN film. The failure mechanism of IMP-Cu/IMP-TaN structure was attributed to the formation of compound after 850°C annealing, which leads to loss of conducting Cu layer.
