Method for preventing electroplating of copper on an exposed surface at
the edge exclusion of a semiconductor wafer
摘要:
A method for forming a copper interconnect (54) begins by depositing a barrier layer (48). An intermediate layer (50) is formed over the barrier layer (48) by exposing the barrier layer (48) to a plasma silane environment. The layer (50) is conductive when deposited so that contact resistance is not affected. The layer (50) is insitu covered with a copper seed layer (52). The layer (52) is not formed in an edge exclusion region (20) thereby exposing a portion (50a) of the layer (50). This portion (50a) will natively oxidize in a room ambient to form a copper electroplating prevention barrier whereby copper will not electroplate in the region (20). Therefore, the region (50a) prevents barrier-to-copper interfaces to avoid delamination of the copper while preserving the edge exclusion region desired for copper electroplating.
