차세대 공정에 적용 가능한 Cu(B)/Ti/SiO 2 /Si 구조 연구
A Study on Cu(B)/Ti/SiO 2 /Si Structure for Application to Advanced Manufacturing Process

We have investigated the effects of boron added to Cu film on the Cu-Ti reaction and microstructural evolution of Cu(B) alloy film during annealing of Cu(B)/Ti/ SiO 2 /Si structure. The result were compared with those of Cu(B)/ SiO 2 structure to identify the effects of Ti glue layers on the Boron behavior and the result grain growth of Cu(B) alloy. The vacuum annealing of Cu(B)/Ti/ SiO 2 multilayer structure allowed the diffusion of B to the Ti surface and forming TiB 2 compounds at the interface. The formed TiB 2 can act as a excellent diffusion barrier against Cu-Ti interdiffusion up to 800 ? C . Also, the resistivity was decreased to 2.3μ Ω -cm after annealing at 800 ? C . In addition, the presence of Ti underlayer promoted the growth Cu(l11)-oriented grains and allowed for normal growth of Cu(B) film. This is in contrast with abnormal growth of randomly oriented Cu grains occurring in Cu(B)/ SiO 2 upon annealing. The Cu(B)/Ti/ SiO 2 structure can be implemented as an advanced metallization because it exhibits the low resistivity, high thermal stability and excellent diffusion barrier property.
