- Asthedesignrulesofsemiconductorshrinkstosub-7nmandsmaller,changesinmaterialsanddevicestructureshaverealizedthehighperformancedeviceswithnewtechnologies.Amongvariousmetalmaterials,especiallyrutheniumispromisingmaterialaselectrodematerialsforthecapacitorandbarriermaterialsforcopperinterconnectionduetoitsadvantagesoflowelectricalresistanceandexcellentthermal/chemicalstability.
However,theseadvantageshavealimitationthatcausesgalvaniccorrosioninbimetallicsystemwithothermetals.Inthisregards,thegalvaniccorrosionshouldbeovercomeintermsofRCdelayanddegradationofthedevices.Therefore,inthisdissertation,whileprovidingthebasicinformationonrutheniumChemicalMechanicalPlanarization(CMP)slurries,thestrategiesandmechanismsforcontrollinggalvaniccorrosionbetweenrutheniumandcopperarecoveredforcopperinterconnectionbarrierstructure.
Atfirst,apyridinearomaticcompoundisadoptedtosuppressgalvaniccorrosionincopper/rutheniumbimetallicsystem.Thenitrogenatomofthepyridinefunctionalgroupformsaσ-bondcomplexationwiththemetalcationandadsorbsontothebothcopperandrutheniumsurfaces.However,comparedtoruthenium,copperhasafullyoccupiedd-orbital,soitenablestoadditionalπ-bondingwithapyridineringstructure.Thedifferenceinbondingshowedadissimilarinadsorptionaffinitywitheachmetalion.Inresults,theanodicreactionofcoppersurfaceissuppressedeffectivelybyformingadensecorrosionprotectionlayerontothecopperfilm.
Forfurtherstudy,threestructuralisomersofpyridinecarboxylicacidhavebeeninvestigated.Structurally,eachofthreeinhibitorsaresubstitutedtocarboxylgroupsatortho,meta,andparapositionsrespectivelyandareconsideredintermsofreactivitywithcopperions.Inthecaseofnicotinicacidinwhichthecarboxylgroupissubstitutedatthemetaposition,theelectronegativityofthenitrogenatomremainsunaffectedleadingtoformationwithmetalcationsviaσ-bond.Ontheotherhand,theinhibitorssubstitutedattheortho-andthepara-positionshowedrelativelyweakadsorptionaffinityduetoweakeningtheelectronegativityofnitrogenatoms.Furthermore,picolinicacidsubstitutedatadjacentpositiontoanitrogenatomshowedthelowestinhibitionefficiencyowingtosterichindranceeffect.
Finally,byapplyingtheinhibitortothecopper/rutheniumbarrierCMPprocess,aslurrypreventsthegalvaniccorrosionattheinterfaceandachievesadesirableselectivityratioof1:1.
