Embodiment Construction

[0036] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the solutions of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0037] According to the records on pages 119-122 of "2004IEEE International Conference on Integrated Circuit Design and Technology", high-frequency power will generate thermal stress, and the generated thermal stress will act on the gate, thereby accumulating pressure caused by thermal stress on the gate. Therefore, the core idea of ​​the present invention is: according to the above-mentioned documents, larger high-frequency power will cause more pressure to accumulate on the grid, which may be an important reason for affecting the integrity of the gate oxide layer. The present invention adds The barrier layer with tensile stress can release the pressure accumulated on the gate due to high-frequency power, thereby avoiding the impact on ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a metal interconnection method which comprises the following steps of: etching a dielectric layer; forming a groove in the dielectric layer; depositing metal copper; filling the deposited copper in the groove, and covering the surface of the dielectric layer; polishing the metal copper to the surface of the dielectric layer by the CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) technology; forming an etching stop layer with compressive stress on the dielectric layer; and forming a barrier layer with tension stress on the etching stop layer with compressive stress. The method disclosed by the invention can reduce the influence of high-frequency power on the integrity of a gate oxide layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to semiconductor technology, in particular to a metal interconnection method. Background technique [0002] With the development of semiconductor manufacturing technology, the area of ​​semiconductor chips is getting smaller and smaller, and at the same time, the number of semiconductor devices on a semiconductor chip is also increasing. In semiconductor circuits, signal transmission between semiconductor devices requires high-density interconnect lines. In traditional semiconductor processes, metal aluminum is generally used as metal interconnect lines between semiconductor devices. With the development of semiconductor processes, Metal aluminum interconnects have been replaced by metal copper interconnects because metal copper has a smaller resistance value compared with metal aluminum, and the use of metal copper interconnects can increase the transmission speed of signals between semiconductor devices. [0003] The metal inte...
