Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Fully-scaled-down,65nm-node Cu dual damascene interconnects (DDIs) with 180nm/200nm-pitched lines and 100nm^φ-vias have been developed in full porous-SiOCH films (k=2.5). Two new techniques are introduced such as (1) a low thermal-budget process for securing the DDl via-yield without the Cu agglomeration, and (2) a "DD pore seal" covering all the side walls of the line-trenches and the vias for improving the dielectric reliability. The full porous-SiOCH DDl with the thin Ta/TaN barrier improves the overall RC product by 24% against the porous-on-rigid, hybrid single damascene interconnects (SDIs). The cost-effective, DDls with k_~3.0 is applicable especially for the 65nm-node, low-power ASICs.
