    摘要: A method of forming a copper interconnect in a dual damascene scheme is described. After a diffusion barrier layer and seed layer are sequentially formed on the sidewalls and bottoms of a trench and via in a dielectric layer, a first copper layer is deposited by a first ECP process at a 10 mA/cm2 current density to fill the via and part of the trench. A first anneal step is performed to remove carbon impurities and optionally includes a H2 plasma treatment. A second ECP process with a first deposition step at a 40 mA/cm2 current density and second deposition step at a 60 mA/cm2 current density is used to deposit a second copper layer that overfills the trench. After a second anneal step, a CMP process planarizes the copper layers. Fewer copper defects, reduced S, Cl, and C impurities, and improved Rc performance are achieved by this method.

    摘要: A method of reducing the pattern effect in the CMP process. The method comprises the steps of providing a semiconductor substrate having a patterned dielectric layer, a barrier layer on the patterned dielectric layer, and a conductive layer on the barrier layer; performing a first CMP process to remove part of the conductive layer before the barrier layer is polished, thereby a step height of the conductive layer is reduced; depositing a layer of material substantially the same as the conductive layer on the conductive layer; and performing a second CMP process to expose the dielectric layer. A method of eliminating the dishing phenomena after a CMP process and a CMP rework method are also provided.

    摘要: A novel method for preventing the formation of voids in metal interconnects fabricated on a wafer, particularly during a thermal anneal process, is disclosed. The method includes fabricating metal interconnects between metal lines on a wafer. During a thermal anneal process carried out to reduce electrical resistance of the interconnects, the wafer is positioned in spaced-apart relationship to a wafer heater. This spacing configuration facilitates enhanced stabilility and uniformity in heating of the wafer by reducing the presence of particles on and providing a uniform flow of heated air or gas against and the wafer backside. This eliminates or at least substantially reduces the formation of voids in the interconnects during the anneal process.
