随着超大规模集成电路特征尺寸不断缩小,多层cu互连之间的RC延迟成为一个越来越严重的问题.由于低介电常数(low-k)材料配合空气隙(air gap)结构可用于降低Cu互连导线间的耦合电容从而改善RC延迟特性,建立了单层和多层空气隙Cu互连结构的有限元分析模型,以研究空气隙结构尺寸与互连介质等效介电常数的关系.结果表明,在单层空气隙Cu互连结构中,通过增加互连导线间空气隙的结构尺寸可以减小Cu互连结构中的耦合电容,进而改善RC延迟特性;在多层空气隙Cu互连结构中,通过改变IMD和ILD中空气隙的尺寸结构可以得到RC延迟性能优化的多层空气隙Cu互连结构. 相似文献

对穿透硅通孔(TSV)互连结构的湿-热应力问题进行了有限元分析。首先模拟了在二氧化硅和氢基半硅氧烷(HSQ)低k材料TSV互连结构在回流焊过程中,因热膨胀系数不匹配而引入的热应力,然后预测了HSQ基TSV互连结构在潮湿环境下因湿膨胀系数不同引起的湿应力,以及湿-热环境下的湿-热应力分布。结果表明:湿气会提高TSV结构界面处的等效应力,但湿气对铜线中的应力影响较小。湿-热应力集中主要出现在HSQ材料和与之相邻的硅上。与SiO2基TSV结构相比,HSQ基TSV结构中铜线上的应力集中得到改善,但HSQ和硅界面上的应力集中有所增加。 相似文献

将空气隙应用于逻辑器件后段金属互连线中可以有效降低互连线间的寄生电容,提升电路信号传输速度,但制备过程仍具有一定的困难。基于三维闪存(3D NAND)中后段(BEOL)W的自对准双重图形化(SADP)工艺,利用湿法刻蚀的方法在W化学机械平坦化(CMP)之后去除SiO_2介质层,然后再利用化学气相淀积(CVD)法淀积一层台阶覆盖率较低的介质在金属互连线层内形成空气隙。采用空气隙结构代替原来的SiO_2介质层可降低约37.4%的寄生电容,且薄膜的台阶覆盖率会进一步降低电容。TCAD仿真和电性能测试结果表明,采用该方法制备的空气隙结构可降低互连延迟。 相似文献

Numerical simulations of thermal stresses in copper (Cu) interconnect and low-k dielectric systems are carried out. The three-dimensional
(3-D) finite-element analysis assumes a two-level metal structure connected by a via. Mechanical deformation is generated
by thermal expansion mismatches during cooling and cyclic temperature changes. The thin barrier/etch stop layers, as well
as oxide or polymer-based low-k dielectric materials, are all taken into account in the model. The stress and deformation
fields are examined in detail; salient features having direct implications in device reliability are illustrated with representative
contour plots. It is found that the use of low-k material in place of traditional oxide dielectric significantly reduces the
triaxial tensile stresses in Cu but enhances plastic deformation, especially in the via region. The compliant low-k material
causes the thin barrier layers to bear very high stresses. Deformation in the Cu line and via structure is more affected by
the thermal expansion property of the dielectric, but the stresses in the barrier layers are more influenced by the elastic
modulus of the dielectric. 相似文献

Thermal and electrical properties of physical vapor deposition (PVD) Ru(P) film deposited on porous ultra low-k (p-ULK) material as Cu diffusion barrier were studied. The phosphorous concentration can be tuned by adjusting Ar to PH3 ratio of the sputtering gases. The leakage current depends on phosphorous concentration. Higher phosphorous content in Ru film has lower leakage current. No obvious phosphorous content dependence was observed when the amorphous Ru(P) film crystallized. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) graphs and energy dispersive spectrometer’s (EDS) atomic depth profiles show that the Ru(P) film deposited on p-ULK can effectively block Cu diffusion when the sample is subjected to 800 °C 5 min annealing. The phosphorous doped Ru film improves diffusion barrier properties and leakage current performance. The improved Ru(P) barrier capable of direct Cu plating could be a potential candidate for advanced metallization. 相似文献

用反应磁控溅射方法在SiO2/Si(100)衬底和Cu薄膜间溅射一层TaN阻挡层,测试不同N气分压及热处理温度下Cu/TaN/SiO2/Si薄膜的显微结构和电阻特性.同时利用微细加工技术加工了镂空的Cu互连叉指测试结构,研究了TaN薄膜在镂空的铜互连结构中的扩散阻挡性能.结果发现,在退火温度不超过400 ℃时,薄膜电阻率均低于80μΩ·cm,而当溅射N分压超过10%,退火温度超过400℃时,薄膜电阻率很快上升.低N气分压下(≤10%)溅射时,即使退火温度达到600 ℃,薄膜电阻基本不变. 相似文献

Both chemical and mechanical damages to porous SiOC film should be minimized in the Cu-CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) process for the 32-45 nm node Cu interconnect process. This paper first discusses chemical damage that occurs during direct CMP on a porous SiOC film. We found that the k-value increase after direct CMP was caused by the surfactants added to the cleaning chemicals to suppress watermark generation on the hydrophobic SiOC film surface. The surfactants assisted water molecule diffusion into the pores by improving the wettability of the film surface. N2 annealing after direct CMP removed moisture inside the pores and restored the k-value increase. Second, the paper discusses low-pressure electro-CMP (e-CMP) technology that we developed to reduce mechanical stress on the porous SiOC film. A high removal rate and good planarization performance were obtained by optimizing the cathode area of the electro-cell and carbon material of the e-CMP pad. 相似文献
