    摘要: A method of cleaning elemental copper, cobalt, or nickel from the surface of equipment hardware without corroding or damaging the equipment parts and surfaces in the event of wafer breakage and non-wafer breakage is described. A solution includes an alkyldione peroxide, a stabilizing agent, and alcohols is used to oxidize the metal and form soluble complexes which are removed by the cleaning solution. Also, a alkyldione peroxide solution for cleaning elemental copper, cobalt, or nickel from the surface of equipment hardware in the event of wafer breakage and non-wafer breakage is provided.

    摘要: A new method of depositing a copper layer, using disproportionation of Cu(I) ions from a solution stabilized by a polar organic solvent, for single and dual damascene interconnects in the manufacture of an integrated circuit device has been achieved. A dielectric layer, which may comprise a stack of dielectric material, is provided overlying a semiconductor substrate. The dielectric layer is patterned to form vias and trenches for planned dual damascene interconnects. A barrier layer is deposited overlying the dielectric layer to line the vias and trenches. A simple Cu(I) ion solution, stabilized by a polar organic solvent, is coated overlying said barrier layer. Water is added to the stabilized simple Cu(I) ion solution to cause disproportionation of the simple Cu(I) ion from the Cu(I) ion solution. A copper layer is deposited overlying the barrier layer. The copper layer may comprise a thin seed layer for use in subsequent electroplating or electroless plating of copper or may comprise a thick copper layer to fill the vias and trenches. The integrated circuit is completed.

    摘要: A method of forming amorphous silicon spacers followed by the forming of metal nitride over the spacers in a copper damascene structure—single, dual, or multi-structure—is disclosed in order to prevent the formation of fluorides in copper. In a first embodiment, the interconnection between the copper damascene and an underlying copper metal layer is made by forming an opening from the dual damascene structure to the underlying copper layer after the formation of the metal nitride layer over the amorphous silicon spacers formed on the inside walls of the dual damascene structure. In the second embodiment, the interconnection between the dual damascene structure and the underlying copper line is made from the dual damascene structure by etching into the underlying copper layer after the forming of the amorphous silicon spacers and before the forming of the metal nitride layer. In the third embodiment, the ternary metal silicon nitride spacer is formed by etching after having first formed the amorphous silicon layer and the nitride layer, in that order, and then etching the passivation/barrier layer at the bottom of the damascene structure into the underlying copper layer. In all three embodiments, metal nitride reacts with amorphous silicon to form a ternary metal silicon nitride having an excellent property of adhering to copper while at the same time for forming an excellent barrier to diffusion of copper.
