Method for improving reliability of copper interconnects

4 Doping copper interconnects with silicon has been shown to improve Electromigration and Via Stress Migration reliability. After copper is deposited by electrochemical deposition and chemically-mechanically polished back, doping is achieved by flowing SiHover the copper interconnect for 0.5 to 5 se...

Zusammenfassung:4 Doping copper interconnects with silicon has been shown to improve Electromigration and Via Stress Migration reliability. After copper is deposited by electrochemical deposition and chemically-mechanically polished back, doping is achieved by flowing SiHover the copper interconnect for 0.5 to 5 seconds at a temperature of 325-425° C.
