Abstract(in English) The thermal stability of the Cu/VNISiO_2/Si system using 10~50 nm thick VN barriers with nano-crystalline grains was examined by XRD, AES, XPS, XTEM, SIMS analyses. The structure of the obtained VN barrier was nano-ciystalline with several nm grains. The nano-crystalline VN barrier provided the excellent barrier properties for the Cu/VN/SiO_2/Si system which realized the thermally stable system without intrinsically structural change of the barrier layer upon annealing regardless of the thickness of the VN barrier. Particularly, the system using a 10 am thick VN barrier tolerated the annealing at 600 ℃ or higher for 1 h without any diffusion. It was revealed that the barrier with nano-crystalline structure was effective on the realization of reliable Cu metallization.
