Problems solved by technology

When plasma etching the interlayer insulating film is used to form a via hole exposing the underlying metal 100a, low-k interlayer insulating film damage 101a will be generated on the sidewalls of the trench 102 and the via hole 103, and at the same time, the overlay shift will cause over In the case of etching, the lower low-k insulating film 100 on both sides of the lower metal 100a is etched, causing problems such as leakage and parasitic capacitance, and reducing the reliability and performance of the device
In addition, if Figure 1B As shown, in the CuECP (copper electroplating) step, when Cu is filled into the through hole 103 by the lateral growth process, it is easy for Cu to fill the void 104, thereby increasing the resistance of the device and other disadvantages such as electromigration failure (EM). effect, while failure of electromigration may lead to disconnection of metal wiring

Abstract

The invention provides an interconnection structure and a manufacturing method of the interconnection structure. At first, a through hole is etched in an inter-lamination dielectric layer; and afterwards, after electro-coppering is finished in the through hole, the inter-lamination dielectric layer is removed and a second low k dielectric layer is deposited to prevent the conditions that low k media on two sides are damaged in the process of etching the through hole, and that low k media on the side of metal wiring below the through hole are damaged by stacking deviations on the etching condition. A metal blocking layer plays a role in an electrode when copper is electroplated to ensure that the copper vertically and upwards grows along the bottom of the through hole. The metal blocking layer can prevent the copper from filling gaps, and therefore good copper filling performance is obtained, and reliability and performance of a device are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to an interconnection structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Back end (BEOL, backend of the line technology) process refers to the chip manufacturing stage when active devices (such as transistors) are interconnected with metal wiring. "Cu + dual damascene process (DD, dual damascenes process) + low k" is a multi-layer interconnection technology used in the semiconductor process of 90nm and below nodes. This technology uses Cu instead of traditional Al, which can greatly reduce the interconnection Line resistance; use low-k dielectric (referring to lower dielectric constant <3.2) materials to replace traditional SiO 2 As an interlayer insulation, it can effectively reduce the interconnect capacitance and RC delay without reducing the wiring density, so that the chip works faster and reduces power consumption. [0003] A multilayer ...
