Abstract

In this paper, we present studies on the integration process of CVD Cu with low-k fluorinated amorphous carbon (a-F:C) in single level and multilevel damascene structure. A thin layer of adhesion promoter material, SiC:H, was utilized to enhance the adhesion and mechanical properties of the damascene stacking layers. The SiC:H layer could also serve as a barrier to contain fluorine atoms from diffusion. The improved a-F:C damascene stacking layers are able to sustain the process of CMP, heat treatment, patterning and plasma etching. The fabrication of single and multi-level damascene structures is proved to be feasible. Some of the electrical performance data evaluated on the Cu/a-F:C damascene structure will be also presented in this paper.
