Abstract(in English) For the development of reliable Cu interconnects applicable to 45nm technology node, the realization of an extremely-thin barrier (~5nm) on low-k materials is indispensable for reducing RC time delay in ULSI devices. Simultaneously, an extremely-thin barrier with low resistivity should be deposited at temperatures as low as possible, in order to suppress the degradation of low-k materials. In the present study, we investigated a new deposition method of extremely-thin barrier using nitriding by radical species activated by W-wire. This method brings about the formation of the extremely-thin TiN barrier of low resistivity without substrate heating. Also, the obtained TiN layer with 3~5nm thickness has a good barrier properties without structural change and intermixing at every interface. We can demonstrate that this method is one of the effective deposition methods for an extremely-thin barrier applicable to highly reliable Cu metallization technology in the 45nm node or beyond.
