Reactively sputtered Ta2N and TaN diffusion barriers for copper metallization
Abstract
<p>The reaction mechanisms in the Si/TaN<sub>x</sub>/Cu metallization systems are discussed based on the experimental results and the assessed ternary Si-Ta-N and Ta-N-Cu phase diagrams. The 50 nm thick Ta<sub>2</sub>N barrier layer was observed to fail after anneal at 725 °C for 30 min due to the diffusion of Cu through the barrier layer and the resulting formation of Cu<sub>3</sub>Si precipitates. No tantalum silicide formation was observed. TaN barrier layers failed by the same mechanism without any tantalum silicide formation at 750 °C/30 min. Adhesion of Cu to the TaN layers was not as good as to Ta<sub>2</sub>N and some adhesion failures were observed. For comparison thinner (10nm) and thicker (100 nm) TaN<sub>x</sub> films were used as diffusion barriers between Cu and Si. Sheet resistance measurements, x-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used in studying these thin film reactions.</p>
