Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have developed aluminum chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology using dimethylaluminum hydride and hydrogen. Aluminum is selectively deposited on conductive material surface such as Si, TiN, TiSi_2, etc. Low resistivity aluminum deposition on TiN barrier metal is required in metallization process of ULSI. Since selective aluminum deposition is based on surface chemical reaction on conductive material, the native oxide of TiN prevents continuous growth of CVD Al thin film. In this work, plasmaless ClF_3 pretreatment of TiN prior to Al deposition is investigated. Surface morphology of CVD Al is found to be dramatically improved with the ClF_3 pretreatment. The reflectivity of the CVD Al is over 90%. Furthermore, CVD Al is deposited into 0.5μmφ contact holes covered with CVD TiN with superior step coverage. XPS measurement has revealed that chlorine does not remain on TiN surface after the ClF_3 pretreatment. The ClF_3 pretreatment is promising for Al CVD on TiN surface.
