Stress migration is a failure mechanism that often occurs in integrated circuit metallization (aluminum, copper). Voids form as result of vacancy migration driven by the hydrostatic stress gradient. Large voids may lead to open circuit or unacceptable resistance increase that impedes the IC performance. 'Stress migration is often referred as stress voiding, stress induced voiding or SIV.

A method for integrating metal-containing cap layers into copper (Cu) metallization of semiconductor devices to improve electromigration and stress migration in bulk Cu metal. In one embodiment, the method includes providing a patterned substrate containing Cu metal surfaces and dielectric layer surfaces, exposing the patterned substrate to a process gas comprising a metal-containing precursor, and irradiating the patterned substrate with electromagnetic radiation, where selective metal-containing cap layer formation on the Cu metal surfaces is facilitated by the electromagnetic radiation. In some embodiments, the method further includes pre-treating the patterned substrate with additional electromagnetic radiation and optionally a cleaning gas prior to forming the metal-containing cap layer.

Methods are provided that enable the ability to use a less aggressive liner processes, while producing structures known to give a desired high stress migration and electro-migration reliability. The present invention circumvents the issue of sputter damage of low k (on the order of 3.2 or less) dielectric by creating the via “anchors” (interlocked and interpenetrated vias) through chemical means. This allows the elimination or significant reduction of the sputter-etching process used to create the via penetration (“drilling, gouging”) into the line below in the barrier / seed metallization step. The present invention achieves the above, while maintaining a reliable copper fill and device structure.

A method of forming a SiCOH etch stop layer in a copper damascene process is described. A substrate with an exposed metal layer is treated with H2 or NH3 plasma to remove metal oxides. Trimethylsilane is flowed into a chamber with no RF power at about 350° C. to form at least a monolayer on the exposed metal layer. The SiCOH layer is formed by a PECVD process including trimethylsilane and CO2 source gases. Optionally, a composite SiCOH layer comprised of a low compressive stress layer on a high compressive stress layer is formed on the substrate.

Via Rc stability is improved and a lower leakage current is achieved with the trimethylsilane passivation layer. A composite SiCOH etch stop layer provides improved stress migration resistance compared to a single low stress SiCOH layer.

The semiconductor device of the present invention includes a first interconnection, a via-plug that is connected to the first interconnection, and a second interconnection that is formed as a single unit with the via-plug. The cross-sectional shape of the via-plug is such that the plug sidewall angle, which indicates the angle of the via-plug sidewall with respect to the surface of the first interconnection, is a positive angle; and moreover, at least two points exist between the base and the top of the via-plug on at least one sidewall of the two sidewalls of the cross-sectional shape of the via-plug at which the plug sidewall angle attains a maximum value. Since shapes that would give rise to the occurrence of concentrations of stress are not formed in the via-plug sidewalls, metal is more effectively embedded in the via-hole, and the incidence of voids is prevented.

Novel interconnect structures possessing a dense OSG material for 90 nm and beyond BEOL technologies in which a low power density oxygen-based de-fluorination plasma process is utilized to increase NBLoK selectivity are presented. These BEOL interconnect structures are capable of delivering enhanced reliability and performance due to the reduced risk of Cu exposure and hence electromigration and stress migration related failures. The oxygen based de-fluorination process is such that the plasma conditions employed {low power density (<0.3 Wcm−2); relatively high pressure (>100 mT); negligible ion current to wafer surface (applied source frequency only)} facilitate a physical expulsion of residual fluorine present on the chamber walls, wafer surface, and within the via structure; thus, minimizing the extent of NBLoK etching that can occur subsequent to removing polymeric byproducts of via etching.
