[0059] To reduce the parasitic capacitance generated between copper wires in a semiconductor, as Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a method for preparing a semiconductor structure, including the following steps:

[0060] Step S10: Provide a dielectric layer 10;

[0061] Step S20: Form a low dielectric constant material layer 11 inside or on the surface of the dielectric layer 10, and form a wire layer 12 inside the dielectric layer 10. The low dielectric constant material layer 11 is at least located between adjacent wire layers 12.

[0062] For step S10, as Figure 3 shown, in an alternative embodiment, the provided dielectric layer 10 can be formed of an oxide, which can be silicon dioxide. The dielectric layer 10 can include a conductive structure 13, and the conductive structure 13 can include a conductive metal layer 14 and a barrier layer 15. The conductive metal layer 14 can be aluminum, and the barrier layer 15 can be titanium or titanium nitride. The barrier layer 15 is located between the conductive metal layer 14 and the dielectric layer 10.

[0063] For step S20, in an alternative embodiment, it specifically includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S201: Form a trench 16 inside the dielectric layer 10, as Figure 4 shown.

[0065] Specifically, form a mask layer on the surface of the dielectric layer 10. The mask layer can be a photoresist layer. Pattern the mask layer by lithography and etching; etch the dielectric layer 10 according to the patterned mask layer to form the trench 16, and remove the mask layer; clean the residues inside the trench 16. The trench 16 exposes the conductive structure 13; specifically, the dielectric layer 10 can be etched by a dry etching process.

[0066] Step S202: Form a metal barrier layer 17 on the sidewalls and bottom of the trench 16, as Figure 5 shown.

[0067] Specifically, the metal barrier layer 17 is formed on the sidewalls and bottom wall of the trench 16 through a deposition process. The metal barrier layer 17 can be made of tantalum or tantalum nitride material, and the metal barrier layer 17 can alleviate the diffusion of metals such as copper into the dielectric layer 10.

[0068] Step S203: Form a wire layer 12 on the surface of the metal barrier layer 17. The wire layer 12 fills the trench 16, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown.

[0069] Specifically, the wire layer 12 can be made of metal copper. Electrochemical plating is used to grow metal copper on the surface of the metal barrier layer 17, and chemical mechanical polishing is used to polish the upper surface of the semiconductor structure until the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10 is exposed, retaining the metal copper and metal barrier material layer in the trench 16 to form the wire layer 12 and the metal barrier layer 17.

[0070] Step S204: Form a groove 18 on the dielectric layer 10. The groove 18 is located between adjacent wire layers 12, as Figure 7 shown.

[0071] Specifically, the dielectric layer 10 between adjacent wire layers 12 is etched away through a dry etching process or other etching processes with high selectivity to form the groove 18. The longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the groove 18 includes an inverted trapezoid, and the bottom of the groove 18 is not higher than the bottom of the wire layer 12.

[0072] Step S205: Form a low dielectric constant material layer 11 at least on the sidewalls and bottom of the groove 18, as Figure 8 shown.

[0073] Specifically, a deposition process is used to form the low dielectric constant material layer 11 on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10, the bottom, and the sidewalls of the groove 18. The low dielectric constant material can be silicon carbonitride. In other alternative embodiments, the low dielectric constant material layer 11 can also be deposited on the top of the wire layer 12.

[0074] In other alternative embodiments, step S20 specifically includes the following steps:

[0076] Specifically, a mask layer is formed on the surface of the dielectric layer 10. The mask layer can be a photoresist layer. The mask layer is lithographically etched to pattern the mask layer; the dielectric layer 10 is etched according to the patterned mask layer to form a trench 16; and the mask layer is removed; the residues in the trench 16 are cleaned. The trench 16 exposes the conductive structure 13; specifically, the trench 16 can be formed by a dry etching process.

[0077] Step S202: A low dielectric constant material layer 11 is formed on the sidewalls of the trench 16, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown.

[0078] Specifically, a low dielectric constant material layer 11 is deposited on the sidewalls, bottom wall of the trench 16, and the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10. The low dielectric constant material layer 11 can be a silicon carbonitride layer. After the deposition of the low dielectric constant material layer 11 is completed, the low dielectric constant material layer 11 on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10 and the low dielectric constant material layer 11 at the bottom of the trench 16 are removed, exposing the bottom wall of the trench 16 and the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10, and only the low dielectric constant material on the sidewalls of the trench 16 is retained; specifically, the low dielectric constant material layer 11 on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10 and the low dielectric constant material layer 11 at the bottom of the trench 16 can be removed by an etch-back process.

[0079] Step S203: A metal barrier layer 17 is formed on the surface of the low dielectric constant material layer 11 and the bottom of the trench 16, such as Figure 14 shown.

[0080] Specifically, a metal barrier material layer is deposited on the surface of the low dielectric constant material layer 11, the bottom of the trench 16, and the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10. The metal barrier material layer can be tantalum or tantalum nitride, and the metal barrier material layer on the surface of the low dielectric constant material layer 11 and the bottom of the trench 16 forms the metal barrier layer 17.

[0081] Step S204: A wire layer 12 is formed on the surface of the metal barrier layer 17, and the wire layer 12 fills the trench 16, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16 shown.

[0082] Specifically, the wire layer 12 can be made of metallic copper. Metallic copper is grown on the surface of the metal barrier layer 17 by an electroplating process, and the upper surface of the semiconductor structure is polished by a chemical mechanical polishing process to remove the metallic copper and the metal barrier material layer on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10, and the metallic copper and the metal barrier material layer in the trench 16 are retained to form the wire layer 12 and the metal barrier layer 17.

[0083] In other optional embodiments, step S20 specifically includes the following steps:

[0084] Step S201: Form a low dielectric constant material layer 11 on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10, such as Figure 18 shown.

[0085] Adopt a deposition process to deposit and form a low dielectric constant material layer 11 on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10. The low dielectric constant material layer 11 can be formed of silicon carbonitride.

[0086] Step S202: Form trenches 16 in the dielectric layer 10 and the low dielectric constant material layer 11, such as Figure 19 shown.

[0087] Specifically, form a mask layer on the upper surface of the low dielectric constant material layer 11. The mask layer can be a photoresist layer. Photolithographically etch the mask layer to pattern the mask layer, and the patterned mask layer exposes the low dielectric constant material layer 11; etch the low dielectric constant material layer 11 and the dielectric layer 10 based on the patterned mask layer to form trenches 16;; Remove the mask layer and clean the residues between the trenches 16. The trenches 16 expose the conductive structure 13; specifically, the trenches 16 can be formed by a dry etching process.

[0088] Step S203: Form a metal barrier layer 17 on the sidewalls and bottom of the trenches 16, such as Figure 20 shown.

[0089] Specifically, deposit and form a metal barrier material layer on the sidewalls, bottom, and upper surface of the low dielectric constant material layer 11 of the trenches 16. The metal barrier material layer on the sidewalls and bottom of the trenches 16 forms the metal barrier layer 17.

[0090] Step S204: Form a wire layer 12 on the surface of the metal barrier layer 17. The wire layer 12 fills the trenches 16, such as Figure 21 and Figure 22 shown.

[0091] Specifically, the wire layer 12 can be made of copper metal. Electrochemically deposit copper metal on the surface of the metal barrier layer 17, and polish the upper surface of the semiconductor structure by a chemical mechanical polishing process until the upper surface of the dielectric constant layer is exposed, and retain the copper metal and the metal barrier material layer in the trenches 16 to form the wire layer 12 and the metal barrier layer 17.

[0092] After step S20, there is also included step S30: Form a protective layer 19 on the surface of the dielectric layer 10. The protective layer 19 covers the surfaces of the dielectric layer 10, the low dielectric constant material layer 11, and the wire layer 12, such as Figure 10 , Figure 17 or Figure 23 shown.

[0093] Specifically, the protective layer 19 can be silicon nitride, and the protective layer 19 is formed by a deposition process, such as Figures 9 to 10As shown, in other alternative embodiments, the protective layer 19 may be a silicon dioxide material layer deposited on the low dielectric constant material layer 11, and the silicon dioxide material layer is planarized by a chemical mechanical polishing process to obtain the protective layer 19.

[0094] The present invention also provides a semiconductor structure, such as Figure 10 shown, including: a dielectric layer 10; a wire layer 12 located within the dielectric layer 10; a low dielectric constant material layer 11 located within the dielectric layer 10 or on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10, and at least between adjacent wire layers 12.

[0095] The dielectric layer 10 may be formed of an oxide, which may be silicon dioxide, and the wire layer 12 may be formed of metallic copper. In an alternative embodiment, the dielectric layer 10 includes a conductive structure 13, and the conductive structure 13 includes a conductive metal layer 14 and a barrier layer 15, and the wire layer 12 is electrically connected to the conductive metal layer 14. The conductive metal layer 14 may be metallic aluminum, and the barrier layer 15 may be titanium or titanium nitride, and the barrier layer 15 is located between the conductive metal layer 14 and the dielectric layer 10.

[0096] Specifically, the low dielectric constant material layer 11 is located within the dielectric layer 10. The dielectric layer 10 may be formed of silicon dioxide, and the low dielectric constant material layer 11 may be formed of silicon carbonitride. The low dielectric constant material layer 11 located between two adjacent wire layers 12 includes a horizontally connected portion and an inclined portion integrally connected. The inclined portions are located on both sides of the horizontally connected portion, and the bottom of the inclined portion is connected to the horizontally connected portion, and the horizontally connected portion is not higher than the bottom of the wire layer 12. In other alternative embodiments, the low dielectric constant material layer 11 further includes a horizontally connected portion on the upper surface of the wire layer 12, and the two sides of the horizontally connected portion on the upper surface of the wire layer 12 are respectively integrally connected to the tops of the inclined portions on both sides of the wire layer 12.

[0097] Specifically, the semiconductor structure further includes a metal barrier layer 17, and the metal barrier layer 17 is located between the wire layer 12 and the dielectric layer 10, or between the wire layer 12 and the conductive structure 13 and the low dielectric constant material layer 11. The metal barrier layer 17 may be a tantalum layer or a tantalum nitride layer, which can prevent the diffusion of metallic copper into the dielectric layer 10.

[0098] As Figure 17 shown, in an alternative embodiment, the present invention also provides a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure provided in this embodiment is substantially the same as the semiconductor structure described in Figure 10 , and the difference between the two is the position of the low dielectric constant material layer 11. Compared with Figure 10In the semiconductor structure, in this embodiment, the low-k dielectric layer 11 is located within the dielectric layer 10, around the wire layer 12, and between the wire layer 12 and the dielectric layer 10. The upper surface of the low-k dielectric layer 11 is flush with the upper surface of the wire layer 12, and the lower surface is flush with the lower surface of the wire layer 12. A protective layer 19 is formed on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10. The protective layer 19 can be a silicon nitride layer, formed by a deposition process, covering the dielectric layer 10, the wire layer 12, and the low-k dielectric layer 11. Other structures in the semiconductor structure of this embodiment are the same as those in Figure 10 the semiconductor structure in

[0099] As Figure 23 shown, in an alternative embodiment, the present invention also provides a semiconductor structure. The semiconductor structure provided in this embodiment is substantially the same as the semiconductor structure described in Figure 10 . The difference between the two lies in the different position of the low-k dielectric layer 11. Compared with the semiconductor structure in Figure 10 , in the semiconductor structure of this embodiment, the low-k dielectric layer 11 is located on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 10. The wire layer 12 passes through the low-k dielectric layer 11 in the thickness direction and extends into the dielectric layer 10. A protective layer 19 is formed on the surface of the low-k dielectric layer 11. The protective layer 19 can be a silicon nitride layer, formed by a deposition process, covering the wire layer 12 and the low-k dielectric layer 11. Other structures in the semiconductor structure of this embodiment are the same as those in Figure 10 the semiconductor structure in

[0100] In summary, through the low-k dielectric layer 11, the parasitic capacitance between adjacent copper wires in the same layer of the semiconductor structure is reduced, and the process is easy to operate and control. Therefore, the process can be accurately controlled to effectively reduce the parasitic capacitance between adjacent copper wires in the same layer of the semiconductor structure, improving the reliability and service life of the device.
