Abstract

The invention relates to a copper interconnection forming method. The method includes: forming low dielectric material layers on a semiconductor substrate; etching a through hole and a groove on the low dielectric material layers respectively; forming a diffusion barrier layer in the through and the groove; forming a Cu layer and a Cu alloy layer on the diffusion barrier layer; and reflowing and annealing the Cu alloy layer to enable alloy elements in the Cu alloy layer to be diffused into the lower Cu layer, so that electromigration reliability of copper interconnection is improved effectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for forming copper interconnection, in particular to a method for manufacturing copper interconnection by using a low temperature reflow technique (low temperature reflow) using a two-step method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the integrated circuit industry, copper has become a new generation of interconnect materials. Due to the continuous shrinking of device size and the continuous improvement of chip integration, the reliability of interconnect lines has always been an important factor affecting system reliability. The electromigration of interconnection wires has always been one of the important issues affecting the reliability of interconnection wires. The electromigration phenomenon of copper interconnection is similar to that of aluminum, which will form loss or accumulation at the bifurcation in the flow direction to form voids or hillocks, making the circuit invalid.
