    摘要: An improved composite dielectric structure and method of forming thereof which prevents delamination of FSG (F-doped SiO2) and allows FSG to be used as the interlevel dielectric between successive conducting interconnection patterns in multilevel integrated circuit structures has been developed. The composite dielectric structure comprises FSG, undoped silicon oxide (optional), silicon-rich silicon oxide and silicon nitride. The silicon-rich silicon oxide layer having a thickness between about 1000 and 2000 Angstroms prevents reaction of F atoms from the FSG layer with the silicon nitride layer during subsequent manufacturing heat treatment cycles and prevents the deleterious formation of delamination bubbles which cause peeling of the FSG layer.

    摘要: A method of forming an interconnect, comprising the following steps. A semiconductor structure is provided that has an exposed first metal contact and a dielectric layer formed thereover. An FSG layer having a predetermined thickness is then formed over the dielectric layer. A trench, having a predetermined width, is formed within the FSG layer and the dielectric layer exposing the first metal contact. A barrier layer, having a predetermined thickness, may be formed over the FSG layer and lining the trench side walls and bottom. A metal, preferably copper, is then deposited on the barrier layer to form a copper layer, having a predetermined thickness, over said barrier layer covered FSG layer, filling the lined trench and blanket filling the barrier layer covered FSG layer. The copper layer, and the barrier layer on said upper surface of said FSG layer, are planarized, exposing the upper surface of the FSG layer and forming a planarized copper filled trench. The FSG layer and planarized copper filled trench are then processed by either: (1) annealing from about 400 to 450.degree. C. for about one hour, then either NH.sub.3 or H.sub.2 plasma treating; or (2) Ar.sup.+ sputtering to ion implant Ar.sup.+ to a depth of less than about 300 .ANG. in the fluorinated silica glass layer, whereby any formed Si--OH bonds and copper oxide (metal oxide) are removed. A dielectric cap layer, having a predetermined thickness, is then formed over the processed FSG layer and the planarized copper filled trench.

The method comprises following steps. First, a wafer is placed on a first pad of a CMP system, wherein a head fixes the wafer on the first pad. Then, the head is rotated and the wafer is polished on the first pad by using a tungsten slurry. Next, the wafer is transferred to place on a second pad of the CMP system, wherein the head fixes the wafer on the second pad. Following, the head is rotated and the wafer is polished on the second pad by using the tungsten slurry. Then, the wafer is cleaned on the second pad by using a de-ionic water. Next, the wafer is transferred to place on a third pad of the CMP system, wherein the head fixes the wafer on the third pad. Following, the wafer is cleaned on the third pad by using the de-ionic water. Last, the head is rotated and the wafer is polished on the third pad by using an oxide slurry, wherein a pH value of the tungsten slurry and a pH value of the oxide slurry are opposite.

    摘要: A method for improving the adhesion of a thick silicon nitride layer, to an underlying spin on glass, (SOG), layer, has been developed. After applying, baking and curing of a SOG layer, plasma treatment of the SOG layer, is performed in a deposition tool, using a nitrous oxide plasma. The plasma treatment prepares the exposed SOG surface for an in situ deposition of a thick silicon nitride layer, by improving the adhesion of thick silicon nitride to the underlying SOG layer, and by decreasing the possibility of silicon nitride delamination, that can occur with counterparts, fabricated without the nitrous oxide plasma treatment of the SOG layer.
