연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

Alternative methods of fabricating an interconnect structure in which an enhanced diffusion barrier including an in-situ formed metal nitride liner formed between an interconnect dielectric material and an overlying metal diffusion barrier liner are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes forming at least one opening into an interconnect dielectric material. A nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer is formed within exposed surfaces of the interconnect dielectric material utilizing thermal nitridation. A metal diffusion barrier liner is formed on the nitrogen enriched dielectric surface. During and/or after the formation of the metal diffusion barrier liner, a metal nitride liner forms in-situ in a lower region of the metal diffusion barrier liner. A conductive material is then formed on the metal diffusion barrier liner. The conductive material, the metal diffusion barrier liner and the metal nitride liner that are located outside of the at least one opening are removed to provide a planarized conductive material, a planarized metal diffusion barrier liner and a planarized metal nitride liner, each of which includes an upper surface that is co-planar with the nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer of the interconnect dielectric material.

1. A method of forming an interconnect structure, said method comprising: forming at least one opening into an interconnect dielectric material;forming a nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer within exposed surfaces of said interconnect dielectric material, wherein said nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer is formed by thermal nitridation in a non-plasma nitrogen-containing ambient, said nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer has a higher nitrogen content than a remaining portion of the interconnect dielectric material;forming a metal diffusion barrier liner on said nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer, wherein during and/or after said forming the metal diffusion barrier liner, a metal nitride liner forms in a lower region of the metal diffusion barrier liner by reacting metal atoms from said metal diffusion barrier liner with nitrogen atoms from said nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer;forming a conductive material on said metal diffusion barrier liner; andremoving said conductive material, said metal diffusion barrier liner and said metal nitride liner that are located outside of the at least one opening to provide a planarized conductive material, a planarized metal diffusion barrier liner and a planarized metal nitride liner, each of which includes an upper surface that is co-planar with an upper surface of the nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer of the interconnect dielectric material. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said thermal nitridation does not cause any damage to the exposed surfaces of the interconnect dielectric material. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein said thermal nitridation is performed at a temperature from 50° C. to 450° C. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said non-plasma nitrogen-containing ambient is selected from the group consisting of N2, NH3, NH4, NO, and NHx wherein x is between 0-1. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein said non-plasma nitrogen-containing ambient has a nitrogen content of from 10% to 100%. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said metal nitride liner has a graded nitrogen content. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said nitrogen enriched dielectric surface is removed from an upper horizontal surface of the interconnect dielectric during said removing of said conductive material, said metal diffusion barrier liner and said metal nitride liner. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said thermal nitridation is performed at an electrical bias of 200 W or less. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer extends inward from said exposed surfaces to a depth of 0.5 nm to 20 nm. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said another metal nitride liner is formed in-situ during the formation of the metal diffusion barrier liner. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said another metal nitride liner is formed in-situ after the formation of the metal diffusion barrier liner. 12. A method of forming an interconnect structure, said method comprising: forming at least one opening into an interconnect dielectric material;forming a nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer within exposed surfaces of said interconnect dielectric material, wherein said nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer is formed by thermal nitridation in a non-plasma nitrogen-containing ambient, said nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer has a higher nitrogen content than a remaining portion of the interconnect dielectric material;forming a metal nitride liner and a metal diffusion barrier liner on said nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer, wherein during and/or after said forming of the metal nitride liner, another metal nitride liner forms in a lower region of the metal nitride liner by reacting metal atoms from said metal nitride liner with nitrogen atoms of said nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer;forming a conductive material on said metal diffusion barrier liner; andremoving said conductive material, said metal diffusion barrier liner, said metal nitride liner and said another metal nitride liner that are located outside of the at least one opening to provide a planarized conductive material, a planarized metal diffusion barrier liner, a planarized metal nitride layer and another planarized metal nitride liner, each of which includes an upper surface that is co-planar with an upper surface of the nitrogen enriched dielectric surface layer of the interconnect dielectric material. 13.
