Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We studied stress-induced voiding of vias in Cu interconnects at the temperature lower than 250℃ and found two different voiding modes. One mode occurs inside a via having wide wire above it, and this mode can be suppressed by optimizing the via shape and the via-cleaning process. The other mode occurs under a via having wide wire below it, and this mode can be suppressed by increasing the Cu grain size, decreasing stress of Cu and improving the adhesion of the barrier metal with Cu.
