Abstract

The effect of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation during ionized physical vapor deposition (IPVD) of tantalum barriers on various porous organosilicate glass low-k SiCOH films is studied using advanced diagnostics and quantum chemical calculations. VUV photons break the Si–C bonds, releasing hydrocarbon radicals from the pore surfaces. These radicals, trapped in pores that are partially sealed by tantalum deposition, can either react with tantalum to form carbide-like compounds, TaCx, or be redeposited in the pores as CHx polymers. This is evidenced by a decrease in CH3 groups that correlates with an increase in TaCx. The formation of TaCx poses a significant challenge in the back end of line (BEOL) technology when reducing the barrier thickness.

在 OSG 低 K 薄膜上扩展 IPVD 沉积 Ta 势垒所面临的挑战:紫外线诱导含碳基团分解产生的 CHx 自由基使 Ta 碳化
利用先进的诊断技术和量子化学计算方法,研究了在各种多孔有机硅玻璃低 K SiCOH 薄膜上进行钽隔阂离子化物理气相沉积(IPVD)过程中真空紫外线(VUV)辐射的影响。紫外光子破坏了 Si-C 键,从孔隙表面释放出碳氢化合物自由基。这些自由基被困在部分被钽沉积密封的孔隙中,既可以与钽反应形成类碳化物 TaCx,也可以作为 CHx 聚合物重新沉积在孔隙中。这表现在 CH3 基团的减少与 TaCx 的增加相关。在减少阻挡层厚度时,TaCx 的形成给后端生产线 (BEOL) 技术带来了巨大挑战。
