摘要:
A method of preventing copper transport on a semiconductor wafer, comprising the following steps. A semiconductor wafer having a front side and a backside is provided. Metal, selected from the group comprising aluminum, aluminum-copper, aluminum-silicon, and aluminum-copper-silicon is sputtered on the backside of the wafer to form a layer of metal. The back side sputtered aluminum layer may be partially oxidized at low temperature to further decrease the copper penetration possibility and to also provide greater flexibility in subsequent copper interconnect related processing. Once the back side layer is in place, the wafer can be processed as usual. The sputtered back side aluminum layer can be removed during final backside grinding.

A method for fabricating a silicon oxide and silicon glass layers at low temperature using High Density Plasma CVD with silane or organic or inorganic silane derivatives as a source of silicon, inorganic compounds containing boron, phosphorus, and fluorine as doping compounds, oxygen, and gas additives is described. RF plasma with certain plasma density is maintained throughout the entire deposition step in a reactor chamber. A key feature of the invention's process is a mole ratio of gas additive to source of silicon, which is maintained in the range of about 0.3-20 depending on the compound used and the deposition process conditions. As a gas additive, one of the group including halide-containing organic compounds having the general formula CxHyRz, and chemical compounds with the double carbon-carbon bonds having the general formula CnH2n, is used. This feature provides the reaction conditions for the proper reaction performance that allows a deposition of a film with good film integrity and void-free gap-fill between the steps of device structures.

An example embodiment is a method of curing a film over a semiconductor structure. We provide a semiconductor structure comprised of a substrate and an interconnect structure. We provide a film over the semiconductor structure. We provide an electron source, an anode grid between the electron source and the semiconductor structure. We cure the film by exposing the film to an electron beam from the electron source that passes through the anode grid. We control the electron beam by controlling the bias voltage between the anode grid and the semiconductor structure. Another embodiment is a tool for curing a film.

A method of forming a conductive cap layer over a metal bonding pad comprises the following steps. A semiconductor structure is provided having an exposed, recessed metal bonding pad within a layer opening. The layer has an upper surface. The exposed metal bonding pad is treated with a solution containing soluble metal ions to form a conductive cap over the metal bonding pad. The conductive cap layer is comprised of the solution metal and has a predetermined thickness. An external bonding element may then be bonded to the conductive cap, forming an electrical connection with the metal bonding pad.
