    摘要: A dielectric layer is patterned with at least one line trough and/or at least one via cavity. A metallic nitride liner is formed on the surfaces of the patterned dielectric layer. A metal liner is formed on the surface of the metallic nitride liner. A conformal copper nitride layer is formed directly on the metal liner by atomic layer deposition (ALD) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD). A Cu seed layer is formed directly on the conformal copper nitride layer. The at least one line trough and/or the at least one via cavity are filled with an electroplated material. The direct contact between the conformal copper nitride layer and the Cu seed layer provides enhanced adhesion strength. The conformal copper nitride layer may be annealed to covert an exposed outer portion into a contiguous Cu layer, which may be employed to reduce the thickness of the Cu seed layer.

    摘要: A method is provided for void-free copper (Cu) filling of recessed features in a semiconductor device. The method includes providing a patterned substrate containing a recessed feature, depositing a barrier film on the patterned substrate, including in the recessed feature, depositing a Ru metal film on the barrier film, and depositing a discontinuous Cu seed layer on the Ru metal film, where the Cu seed layer partially covers the Ru metal film in the recessed feature. The method further includes exposing the substrate to an oxidation source gas that oxidizes the Cu seed layer and the portion of the Ru metal film not covered by the Cu seed layer, heat-treating the oxidized Cu seed layer and the oxidized Ru metal film under high vacuum conditions or in the presence of an inert gas to activate the oxidized Ru metal film for Cu plating, and filling the recessed feature with bulk Cu metal. The exposure to the oxidation source gas can be an air exposure commonly encountered in semiconductor device manufacturing prior to Cu plating.
