Abstract(in English) We verified the effect of Ti layer insertion on stress induced void formation in wide Cu lines where voids were formed under via. In order to improve adhesion property between via and underlying Cu, PVD-Ti was introduced under Ta/TaN barrier. When 8 nm thick PVD-Ti layer was inserted at via bottom, the failure was sufficiently suppressed without degrading the electromigration resistance. In addition, the via resistance was reduced by 25% compared with conventional Ta/TaN barrier structure, while the Cu metal resistivity was unchanged by the Ti insertion.
