1287853 A7 B7 五、發明説明(1 ) 〔發明領域〕 :---·—^^衣-- (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 本發明係關於膜層的沉積的領域。更特定地,本發明 係關於沉積膜層於一基材上的領域,其中一早先的處理步 驟包括反吸收或預淸潔該基材。 〔發明背景〕 在半導體製程中沉積一金屬膜層通常在該金屬膜層的 沉積之前都需要反吸收及預淸潔步驟。該反吸收及預淸潔 步驟可確保該金屬膜層對於一基材有良好的粘著性且亦在 基材金屬與金屬膜層之間提供較佳的接觸電阻。 在前技中,該反吸收步驟,該預淸潔步驟,及金屬膜 層的沉積是在一群串工具中進行的,使得基材在反吸收或 預淸潔步驟與該金屬膜層的沉積之間不會曝露於大氣中。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 前技的反吸收步驟在真空中對該基材加熱用以將該基 材去氣(degas)。藉由在真空中加熱該基材,被吸收於該基 材的表面中或被吸收至該基材內的物質可從該基材中被去 除。典型的處理條件包括1(Τ3托爾(Torr)或更高的真空,及 介於200至400 °C之間的溫度。通常,較高的溫度被使用, 以縮短處理時間,對於較高的溫度而言,處理時間大致上 是在30秒至60秒之間。 前技的預淸潔步驟將該基材曝露於離子轟擊中,其通 常被稱爲一濺射蝕刻預淸潔。在該濺射蝕刻預淸潔中,氬 離子,氫離子,氨離子,或它們的組合,及電子形成一電 漿,其轟擊該基材的表面用以將一薄的物質層濺射掉。典 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) -4
1287853 五、發明説明(2 ) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 型地,在半導體製程中,一蝕刻步驟在該金屬膜層的沉積 之前。該蝕刻步驟形成溝渠及介電孔於該基材內到達一底 下的金屬層。在蝕刻步驟之後,因爲該基材曝露於大氣中 的關係,一氧化物形成於在該等孔處之該底下的金屬層的 一被曝露的表面上。該濺射蝕刻預淸潔嘗試將該氧化物及 在去灰(ashing)及濕式淸潔之後的任何殘留物鈾刻掉。該職 射蝕刻預淸潔典型地需要1〇·3托爾(Ton·)或更高的真空。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 前技的一特定的金屬沉積處理沉積一阻障金屬層及一 銅晶種層於一半導體基材上與在介電孔(via hole)處的底下 銅層形成接點。在該蝕刻步驟中,介電孔被形成穿透二氧 化矽及氮化矽層到達該底下的銅層。在前技的另一蝕刻步 驟中,該等介電孔被形成於低k的介電材質中,如一聚合 物基的材質及含氟或碳的氧化物。在鈾刻步驟之後及在基 屬膜層的沉積之前,一電漿去灰步驟及一濕式淸潔步驟可 大致上將光阻,光阻殘留物,及鈾刻殘留物去除掉留下被 吸收至該基材表面上的物質及留下一層薄的氧化銅層於該 等介電孔處的底下銅層之上。前技的反吸收步驟將被吸收 於該基材的表面內之物質去除掉。該濺射蝕刻預淸潔將介 電孔內的氧化銅層去除掉並去除掉該基材之包圍在該等介 電孔周圍的一裸露層。該阻障金屬然後被沉積,接著銅晶 種層被沉積。接下來,一電鍍步驟沉積額外的銅層至該銅 晶種層上。 前技的群束工具包括一離手站(ha n doff station),一前 端輸送模組,一後端輸送模組,一去氣模組,一濺射鈾刻 -5- 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) 1287853 A7 B7 五、發明説明(3 ) 模組,及一金屬沉積模組。該前端輸送模組包括一第一機 器人。該後端輸送模組包括一第二機器人。該離手站藉由 一第一閥或負載鎖定件而耦合至該前端輸送模組。該去氣 模組及濺射鈾刻模組係耦合至該前端輸送模組。該後端輸 送模組藉由一第二閥或負載鎖定而耦合至該前端輸送模組 。該金屬沉積模組係耦合至該後端輸送模組。通常,該群 束工具包括兩個去氣模組,兩個濺射蝕刻模組,及兩個或 更多的金屬沉積模組。在操作時,該前端輸送模組在真空 下操作。一用來實施前技的反吸收,預淸潔及金屬沉積的 第二群束工具包括一單一的輸送模組,該去氣模組,該濺 射蝕刻模組,及該金屬沉積模組,其中該去氣模組,該濺 射蝕刻模組,及該金屬沉積模組係耦合至該單一的輸送模 組。 該群束工具的操作是以該第一機器人將一基材從該離 手站送至實施該反吸收步驟之去氣模組來開始。該第一機 器人然後將該基材輸送至實施該濺射蝕刻預淸潔的該濺射 蝕刻模組。該第一機器人然後將該基材輸送至該第二機器 人,該第二機器人將該基材置於該金屬沉積模組中。在該 金屬膜層沉積之後,該第二機器人將該基材輸送回該第一 機器人,其將該基材送回到該離手站。 因爲前技的反吸收步驟是在高溫下操作的,所以存在 著溫度所誘發的基材損壞的可能。此顧慮對於聚合物材質 特別容易發生,因爲聚合物材質之低介電常數的特性,所 以未來的積體電路可能會使用聚合物材質作爲絕緣體。 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) 一 :---,—衣-- (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁} 訂 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 1287853 A7 —_B7 _^ 五、發明説明(4 ) 在該預淸潔步驟中,該電漿會對該基材的表面造成電 漿損害。而且,濺射蝕刻預淸潔會在溝渠的邊緣及在介電 孔的邊緣造成角落修剪(corner clipping)而產生缺陷是眾所 習知的。角落修剪對於較小尺寸的積體電路而言特別有害 ,因爲角落修剪減少相鄰接線之間的隔離而導致相鄰接線 之間無法被接受的電子干擾。濺射鈾刻不只造成積體電路 實體上的損害,其亦造成電子損害。 再者,在溝渠及介電孔內之底下金屬層的濺射會造成 圓桶化(barreling)及造成被濺射的物質沉積於溝渠及介電孔 的側壁上。例如,在介電孔內之氧化銅層的濺射蝕刻預淸 潔造成銅及氧化銅沉積於介電孔的側壁上。甚者,對於預 淸潔聚合物基的物質而言濺射蝕刻預淸潔是不恰當的,因 爲可預期到在濺射蝕刻預淸潔中之實體的轟擊會造成損傷 。而且,即使濺射蝕刻預淸潔可被使用,氫離子在聚合物 物質被曝露時無法被使用,因爲氫會將聚合物基的物質氫 化。此外,該濺射蝕刻預淸潔在溝渠或介電孔的深寬比(深 度除以寬度)增大時即會變得較沒有效果。 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 C请先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 去氣模組與濺射蝕刻模組兩者都需要高真空幫浦及相 關的真空管路,這將增加該群束工具的購製及維修成本。 該濺射蝕刻模組進一步增加該群束工具的購製及維修成本 ,因爲其相對複雜且經常的維修用以確保其不會成爲一顆 粒污染物的來源。 一種可與金屬沉積相容的反吸收方法是所需要的,該 .方法不需過高的溫度。 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X:297公釐Ί " ~ 1287853 A7 B7 五、發明説明(5 ) 一種可與金屬沉積相容的預淸潔方法是所需要的,該 方法不使用電漿。 一種可與低k物質,如聚合物基的材質及含氟或碳的 氧化物,相容的反吸收方法是所需要的。 一種可與低k物質,如聚合物基的材質及含氟或碳的 氧化物,相容的預淸潔方法是所需要的。 一種可與金屬沉積相容的反吸收方法是所需要的,該 方法較便宜。 一種可與金屬沉積相容的預淸潔方法是所需要的,該 方法較便宜。 〔發明槪要〕 一種將一金屬膜層沉積於一基材上的方法包括一超臨 界預淸潔步驟,一超臨界反吸收(desorb)步驟,及一金屬沉 積步驟。最好是,該預淸潔步驟包含保持超臨界二氧化碳 及一螯合劑與該基材接觸用以從該基材的一金屬表面上去 除氧化層。更佳的是,該預淸潔步驟包含保持超臨界二氧 化碳,該螯合劑,及一酸與該基材接觸其中該酸溶解該氧 化層同時該螯合劑附著用以釋出金屬離子並將釋出的金屬 離子帶走。或者,該預淸潔步驟包含保持該超臨界二氧化 碳及一胺與該氧化層接觸,其中該J安溶解該氧化層並帶走 金屬離子。該反吸收步驟包含保持該超臨界二氧化碳與該 基材接觸用以從該基材中去除被吸收的物質。該金屬沉積 步驟然後將該金屬膜層沉積於該基材上,此沉積不需將該 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) -8 J---.I^^裝-- (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 、11 d 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 1287853 A7 B7 五、發明説明(6 ) s材曝露於一會將該被預淸潔的基材的金屬表面氧化的氧 化材質中及不需將該基材曝露於會吸附於該基材上的一非 揮發性吸附材質中。 一用來將一金屬膜層沉積於一基材上的設備包括一輸 送模組,一超臨界處理模組,一真空模組,及一金屬沉積 模組。該超臨界處理模組被耦合至該輸送模組。該真空模 組將該金屬沉積模組耦合至該輸送模組。在操作時,用來 沉積該金屬膜層的設備實施該超臨界預淸潔步驟,該超臨 界反吸收步驟,及該金屬沉積步驟。 〔圖式簡要說明〕 第1圖示意地顯示本發明之較佳的方法。 第2圖示意地顯示本發明的另一方法。 第3圖顯示本發明之較佳的金屬沉積群束工具。 〔符號說明〕 :---·I -- (請先閲讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 訂 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製 20 較佳方法 22 超臨界預淸潔步驟 24 超臨界反吸收步驟 26 金屬沉積步驟 30 第四替代方法 32 超臨界殘留物去除步驟 40 較佳金屬沉積群束工具 42 裝載模組 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS ) A4規格(210X297公釐) -9 - 以7853
