摘要

During the Cu/dielectric damascene etch, the lateral etching of silicon nitride stop layer after wet clean is often observed. This recess of silicon nitride is a concern which may deteriorate the following barrier metallization process. An analytical testing of blanket silicon nitride wafers has shown that there is a significant change in the structure of the surface of silicon nitride which is up to 50~80 angstrom into the subsurface layer during the dry cleaning and photoresist stripping process. This dry cleaning process induces a severe oxidation of the silicon nitride that creates a low density, high oxygen content silicon-oxynitride that is susceptible to etching away by the following wet clean process if it is fluorine containing material. The etch rate of this oxidized SiN appears to correspond to the silicon nitride loss seen from SEM. When the same testing is performed on the silicon nitride as deposited or after dry etching process only, this erosion is not observed.
