Problems solved by technology

However, because copper diffuses very quickly in silicon and its oxides and most dielectric materials, and once copper enters the device structure, it will form deep-level impurities, which have a strong trap effect on the carriers in the device. Lead to significant degradation of device performance or even device failure

Abstract

The invention relates to a titanium doped tantalum base barrier layer for copper interconnection and a manufacturing method thereof. The titanium doped tantalum base barrier layer comprises a titanium doped tantalum nitrogen film and a titanium doped tantalum film placed on the titanium doped tantalum nitrogen film, wherein the atom number of titanium in the titanium doped tantalum nitrogen film accounts for 0.1%-2.2% of the total atom number of the titanium; and the atom number of the titanium in the titanium doped tantalum film accounts for 0.1%-2.2% of the total atom number. Compared with the prior art, the barrier layer acting as the copper interconnection is changed to the titanium doped tantalum base barrier layer consisting of the titanium doped tantalum film / the titanium doped tantalum nitrogen film from the tantalum base barrier layer consisting of tantalum film / tantalum nitrogen film in the prior art; and the manufacturing method of the titanium doped tantalum base barrier layer comprises the following steps of: changing a target material to be a titanium tantalum solid solution from the titanium during the process of forming the barrier layer, wherein the atom number proportion of the titanium to the titanium and tantalum is 0.1%-2.2%, so that the performances of the barrier layer and a semiconductor device are greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an integrated circuit material and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a titanium-doped tantalum-based barrier layer for copper interconnection and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of very large-scale integrated circuits, the integration level is getting higher and higher, and the RC delay and crosstalk between metal interconnections of integrated circuits have become the main factors restricting the further improvement of integrated circuit speed. Using copper / low-K dielectric to replace the traditional aluminum / silicon dioxide gate structure can greatly improve the performance of integrated circuits. However, because copper diffuses very quickly in silicon and its oxides and most dielectric materials, and once copper enters the device structure, it will form deep-level impurities, which have a strong trap effect on the carriers in the device. This will lead to si...
