This paper describes an advanced 5nm node back-end-of-line (BEOL) process integration based on an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography process, atomic layer deposition (ALD) barrier metal (BM) and Cu reflow process. The ALD BM technology was integrated into Low-k in the damascene metallization. This advanced BEOL integration showed a good RC (resistance-capacitance) performance within +3% and an excellent 46% reduction in the via resistance compared to the physical vapor deposition (PVD) BM, and satisfied the reliability requirement for the time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) and the electro-migration (EM). Finally, ALD BM and Cu reflow process were developed for the advanced 5nm node BEOL integration, and the new process is implemented in order to achieve low via resistance and better device performance.

The Fully aligned via scheme (FAV) is known to mitigate the via misalignment issues that drive a lower Vmax and limits the contact area between the via and the underlying line. Even though the overall benefits of FAV are well known, the key detractors and their contributions are not well understood. One of the key challenges in FAV integration is the need to create of topography which can be either achieved by recessing the metal lines or by selective insulator deposition. Wet recess process has been promising for enabling downstream integration learning of conformal cap deposition, ultra low-k gap-fill, and via landing on recessed area. In this paper wet recess challenges for topography creation and key process improvements that improve the resistance distribution are discussed.
众所周知,完全对齐的通孔方案(FAV)可以缓解通孔不对齐问题,从而降低Vmax并限制通孔与底层线之间的接触面积。尽管FAV的总体好处是众所周知的,但主要的批评者和他们的贡献却没有得到很好的理解。FAV集成的关键挑战之一是需要创建地形,这可以通过嵌入金属线或通过选择性绝缘体沉积来实现。湿隐窝过程有望实现保形盖层沉积的下游集成学习,超低k空隙填充,并通过在凹陷区域着陆。本文讨论了湿凹槽地形形成的挑战和改善阻力分布的关键工艺改进。

In this paper, we present a modeling study to investigate the self-heating effect on advanced metallization schemes with airgaps using an experimentally calibrated finite element model. We compared N3 technology node with N2 integrated with airgaps. Despite the higher metal density of the fully dense Ru lines (50%) at the lower metal levels in the N2 structure with airgaps, the N2 stack is more susceptible to self-heating than the N3 structure with 25% line density, showing that the IMD has an important impact on the interconnect self-heating. We quantified the effect of the line density and IMD on the interconnect temperature increase. We found that decreasing the line density from 50% to 15% increases the temperature with 40% in the interconnect structure. A reduction of the low-k thermal conductivity values below 1 W/m-K shows to accelerate the temperature increase in the BEOL.
在本文中,我们提出了一个模型研究,以研究自热效应的先进金属化方案与气隙使用实验校准的有限元模型。将N3技术节点与N2集成气隙进行比较。尽管在有气隙的N2结构中,在金属水平较低的N2结构中,全致密Ru线的金属密度(50%)较高,但N2堆叠比线密度为25%的N3结构更容易发生自热,表明IMD对互连自热有重要影响。我们量化了线密度和IMD对互连温升的影响。我们发现当线密度从50%降低到15%时,互连结构的温度升高了40%。低k热导率值降低到1 W/m-K以下会加速BEOL的温度升高。

We developed TSV fabrication process using the anisotropic wet etching of Si assisted by noble metal catalyst and electroless plating of CoWB barrier and Cu seed layers. These methods are essentially low cost as compared to conventional dry etching and CVD methods which use high vacuum chamber systems. Controllability of anisotropic Si etching is improved with the use of catalytic Au disk with nanopores and adequate choice of a mixing ratio of HF and H2O2 in etching solutions. Conformal deposition of CoWB barrier film is possible even for a high aspect ratio TSV with choice of adequate temperature. We have developed equipment of 8 inch processes for both Si etching and electroless plating.

Enabling Ferroelectric Memories in BEoL - towards advanced neuromorphic computing architectures 在BEoL中实现铁电存储器——迈向先进的神经形态计算架构

Advanced non-volatile memory concepts such as the 1T1C ferroelectric (FE) random-access memory (FeRAM) and the 1T1C FE field-effect transistor (FeFET) can be realized by connecting a metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) capacitor placed in the back end of line (BEoL) of a microchip to the drain and gate contacts of a standard logic device, respectively. With the vertical distributed select devices in the front-end of line (FEoL) and the storage elements in the BEoL, both concepts increase the effective memory density of a microchip without introducing major changes in the FEoL fabrication technology. However, for advanced neuromorphic computing architectures, the 1T1C FeFET is the device of choice, since it provides non-destructive readout. The most promising material for the integration of FE non-volatile memory functionalities into the BEoL is Zr doped HfO2 (HZO). It crystallizes at low temperatures in the orthorhombic phase (the one with FE properties) and with a polycrystalline structure. The latter is important to enable analogue like switching in synaptic devices. Herein, the above-mentioned memory concepts are introduced and key steps to optimize the HZO films for the BEoL integration and for the neuromorphic computing use case are described.
先进的非易失性存储器概念,如1T1C铁电(FE)随机存取存储器(FeRAM)和1T1C铁电场效应晶体管(FeFET),可以通过将放置在微芯片线后端(BEoL)的金属-铁电-金属(MFM)电容器分别连接到标准逻辑器件的漏极和栅极触点来实现。利用线前端(FEoL)的垂直分布选择器件和BEoL中的存储元件,这两个概念都增加了微芯片的有效存储密度,而不会对FEoL制造技术产生重大变化。然而,对于先进的神经形态计算架构,1T1C场效应管是首选器件,因为它提供非破坏性读出。将FE非易失性存储功能集成到BEoL中最有前途的材料是Zr掺杂的HfO2 (HZO)。它在低温下结晶为正交相(具有FE性质的一种),并具有多晶结构。后者对于在突触装置中实现模拟开关很重要。本文介绍了上述存储概念,并描述了针对BEoL集成和神经形态计算用例优化HZO薄膜的关键步骤。

Doped MLG is expected as an inductor material with high inductance density due to its high kinetic inductance. A practical fabrication process for doped MLG patterns is developed using a selective CVD on Ni catalyst patterns and stable MoCl5 intercalation. The highly doped MLG patterns of stage-2 were realized by CVD-MLG with a G/D ratio of 20 or more, and the sheet-resistance could be reduced.

Advanced interconnect challenges beyond 5nm and possible solutions 超越5nm的先进互连挑战和可能的解决方案

As the on-chip interconnect scales down to below 30nm pitch, it faces challenges in all aspects of performance, yield, and cost. Performance degradation caused by electron scattering in narrow Cu damascene lines, combined with slow barrier/liner scaling is a big concern. In order to reduce the resistivity of damascene Cu lines, grain size and interface engineering are being investigated, as well as a new liner that can enable more aggressive thickness scaling. To improve capacitance, k-value reduction of dielectric films by damage recovery during process integration is being studied. Yield loss is mainly attributed to micro bridge, also known as stochastic printing failures of EUV lithography, or scaling induced Cu void or bridge defects. New photoresists or etch process recipes are being explored in order to address the micro bridge. Cu-fill friendly damascene profile is being introduced to suppress Cu void defects. Since rising BEOL cost is a critical challenge, single EUV patterning to replace double patterning is being actively investigated. In parallel to the conventional scaling, disruptive interconnect architectural changes such as backside power distribution network, and innovative materials such as alternative conductors, and 2D barriers / liners need to be considered.
随着片上互连的尺寸缩小到30nm以下,它在性能、良率和成本方面都面临着挑战。电子在狭窄的Cu damascenline中的散射以及缓慢的势垒/衬里缩放引起的性能下降是一个大问题。为了降低damascene Cu线的电阻率,研究人员正在研究晶粒尺寸和界面工程,以及一种能够实现更大厚度缩放的新型衬管。为了提高电容量,研究了在工艺集成过程中通过损伤恢复来降低介电膜k值的方法。产率损失主要归因于微桥,也称为EUV光刻的随机印刷故障,或结垢引起的Cu空洞或桥缺陷。为了解决微桥问题,人们正在探索新的光刻胶或蚀刻工艺配方。为了抑制Cu空洞缺陷,引入了Cu填充友好型大马士革轮廓。由于BEOL成本的上升是一个关键挑战,人们正在积极研究用单EUV模式来取代双EUV模式。与传统的扩展并行,需要考虑颠覆性的互连架构变化,如背面配电网络,以及替代导体和2D屏障/衬垫等创新材料。

Advanced Air Gap Formation Scheme Using Volatile Material 利用挥发性材料的先进气隙形成方案

As a solution for RC delay of BEOL interconnect, we developed a novel air gap formation scheme. This scheme uses a volatile material (VM) and allows us to omit one lithography step, which was required for conventional air gap formation. It is possible to apply this scheme to subtractive interconnect scheme too. In this study, we will introduce the basic characteristics of VM and demonstrate the novel air gap integration through e-tests.
为了解决BEOL互连的RC延迟问题,我们提出了一种新的气隙形成方案。该方案使用挥发性材料(VM),并允许我们省略一个光刻步骤,这是传统气隙形成所需的。该方案也可以应用于减法互连方案。在本研究中,我们将介绍虚拟机的基本特性,并通过电子测试演示新型气隙集成。

In this paper, we report the property and reliability of CuAl2 and its effects of compositional shift within ±5%. Resistivity was found to be 7–8 μΩ· cm after annealing at 400 °C, even with compositional shift. Capacitance–Voltage (C–V) after Bias Thermal Stress (BTS) test showed no shift of flat–band voltage under the condition of 3.0 MV/cm × 30 min at 250 °C. Time–Dependent–Dielectric–Breakdown (TDDB) evaluation showed that the reliability is better than that of conventional Cu/TaN interconnects.
在本文中,我们报告了CuAl2的性能和可靠性及其在±5%范围内的成分位移的影响。400℃退火后的电阻率为7-8 μΩ·cm,即使成分发生了变化。在250℃下,3.0 MV/cm × 30 min条件下,经偏置热应力(BTS)测试后的电容电压(C - v)显示平带电压无移位。时间相关介电击穿(TDDB)评价表明,该互连的可靠性优于传统的Cu/TaN互连。
