Cr-based MOCVD layers as conducting diffusion barriers for copper metallization
Résumé
Two types of amorphous Cr-based thin films, CrCxNy and CrSixCy, were grown by low pressure MOCVD on Si substrates using respectively Cr(NEt2)4 and Cr[CH2SiMe3]4 as single-source precursor in the low temperature range 400-420 °C and 475-500 °C. Their properties as conducting diffusion barrier against Cu were investigated and the results are discussed. CrSixCy exhibits a better thermal stability and a good Cu wettability but a high resistivity, which is detrimental for this application. CrCxNy has a low resistivity, a satisfactory stability up to 650 °C without undesirable interfacial reactions and an excellent conformality.
