Problems solved by technology

However, during the deposition process, the adsorption and desorption behavior of the accelerator on the electrode surface is greatly affected by the electrode potential, so holes are easily formed on the deposition surface, and dendritic growth patterns appear.

Abstract

The invention provides an electrolyte used in integrated circuit copper cabling electrodeposition, which comprises the following components and contents: 50-200g / liter of copper sulphate, 50-220g / liter of sulphuric acid, 10-150 milligram / liter of chloridion, 5-200 milligram / liter of inhibitor, 5-50 milligram / liter of accelerator, 0.5-20 milligram / liter of leveling agent and the rest of deionized water. As the electrolyte contains the chloridion, inhibitor and accelerator, the surface appearance is improved after electrodeposition and the roughness concentration is reduced. And the leveling agent can increase the adsorption of the accelerator on the surface of electrodes in the deposition process, and then increases the surface improvement effect of the accelerator; the surface roughness of the clad layer is further reduced; the orientation of the clad layer obtained by deposition Cu (111) is dominant; after deposition, the surface dendrite growth mode disappears; and the surface has no hole defects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the copper wiring technology in the field of microelectronic processing, in particular to an electrolyte used for electrodeposition of integrated circuit copper wiring. Background technique [0002] With the development of IC (integrated circuit, integrated circuit) to VLSI / ULSI (very large scale integrated circuit / ultra large scale integrated circuit, large-scale integrated circuit), the device size has entered the deep sub-micron stage, and continues to be fine, complex, and three-dimensional direction development. According to Moore's Law, by 2014 the wiring width as a feature size will reach 35nm. The market requires IC chips to have faster computing speed, better reliability, lower power consumption, lower noise and lower cost. In this case, copper interconnection wiring is used as a substitute for aluminum interconnection wiring The product came into being. [0003] The advantages of Cu as an interconnection metal comp...
