[Previous technology] Metalization systems with sub-quarter-micron size characteristics are the basic technology for the generation of integrated circuit processes. More specifically, in integrated circuit (ULSI) devices, that is, devices with more than one integrated circuit, in multiple layers at the center of these devices are filled with conductive materials, filled with high aspect ratio interconnect characteristics and materials such as steel Or aluminum. Traditionally, deposition techniques such as chemical gas-spinning physical vapor deposition (PVD) have been used for line characteristics. However, because of the reduced size and depth of interconnects, it is more difficult to form void-free interconnects through traditional metallization techniques. As a result, for example, electrochemical plating (E cp) and plating technology have emerged as non-porous filling of the interconnect characteristics of the sub-size to aspect ratio in integrated circuit manufacturing processes. For example, in the ECP process, it is formed as a substrate One micron size high aspect ratio characteristics can be effectively material such as copper. The ECP electroplating process is roughly a two-step process. First, a layer is formed on the surface of the substrate. A bias voltage is applied to the substrate and positioned in the electrolytic solution at the same time. • A substantially uniform thin film. The extremely large one million logic gate lines are roughly formed, and the interconnect ratios of conductive, deposition (CVD) and filling are increased, so the characteristic filling becomes a quarter of a micron line without electricity recording. The surface is then filled with a conductive process, in which, then, when the anodes of an electricity are the same, the surface characteristics of the substrate are substantially rich by the solution and are plated to the application of the base pressure causing these ions to be applied. The extremely small size associated with ECP copper interconnects increases the likelihood of void formation. The possible migration resistance of the pores formed in the interconnects, so when we want to produce, the method that has the desired electromigration characteristics is to use copper and a heavy metal. It must be seen that the resistance and resistance characteristics of the alloy are increased. Tin has been found to be suitable. However, today's deposition technology is great, and then, tempering the entire surface can have some problems. When the tempering process has the conductive characteristics of the copper-tin alloy profile, the deposition of the copper-tin layer that caused the pore deposition has been affected. For other features with larger specifications, the traditional copper-tin alloy with a homogeneous volume to a high aspect ratio is at least 7 without encountering the copper-tin alloy plating method which has been targeted at the alloy, which is exposed to an electrolyte solution in the semiconductor device. The ions on the surface of the electrolyte plate are therefore electroplated to the seed layer. One of the challenges of the deposition process is, for example, in conductive interconnects, via electromigration mode, because via electromigration mode, the conductive lines that have a minimum resistance directly related to the intrinsic electricity of copper wires are added, the same. The alloy used to improve the electromigration resistance of the copper wire, and when compared to copper, the alloy element that increases the electromigration of the alloy and improves the electromigration resistance of the copper at the same time causes the copper and tin layers to be individually deposited on each other. A copper-tin alloy is formed. This method can be shown to form with uniform variation, which can follow conductive lines, resulting in non-formation. In addition, although it is conveniently used to generate solder bump points and equipment and methods through electrochemistry, it has not been able to successfully sink specific characteristics, that is, a characteristic in which the deep pores fill the deposited pores. In addition, the traditional connection system with a large percentage of tin and a small concentration of copper is not desirable because the resistance characteristics of tin-rich alloy 4 200305943 gold are greater than those of copper or copper-rich alloys. For example, the continuous success and continuous operation of the U L SI technology without the high aspect ratio characteristics of the multilayer conductive interconnects in the system are important. Therefore, there is a need for a method and equipment for depositing tin alloy thin films into a semiconductor device with high depth and width. [Summary of the Invention] Aspects of the present invention generally provide an electrochemical plating of a homogeneous copper-tin alloy to the height of a semiconductor device. 2 micron characteristics.

The above characteristics of the present invention can be made clear by referring to the embodiments in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the drawings are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The present invention may adopt other embodiments. [Embodiments] Most aspects of the present invention generally provide a method and equipment for forming a substantially homogeneous copper-tin alloy onto a semiconductor substrate. More specifically, the source and the source of electricity are more uniform and the ion conductivity is higher. Effectiveness 7 200305943 to fill the characteristics of high aspect ratio (7 or higher) with a substantially homogeneous copper-tin alloy with a high concentration of copper (over about 97%) and a relatively small concentration of tin (about 0.2% to (Approximately 1.5%) ^ A copper-tin alloy is generally formed on a substrate and formed into an internal characteristic through an ECP process. The copper-tin alloy provides an enhanced electromigration resistance in the conductive characteristics of a semiconductor device and when a high current passes through the interconnection At the same time, the formation of pores at the interface is prevented. An embodiment of an ECP process for depositing a copper-tin alloy generally includes adding a calculated amount of tin to a copper electrical bond solution 'and applying a calculated voltage to a substrate immersed in a plating solution. The calculated amount added to the plating solution and the calculated applied voltage are explicitly selected to provide the deposition of a substantially homogeneous copper-tin alloy. In addition, the embodiment of the present invention is structured to plate copper-tin alloy into a high depth and width characteristic, that is, greater than 10: 1. For a narrow conductive substrate, it is a sub-0.10 micron width characteristic. The copper-tin alloy is deposited as described below. For example, by using an electroless deposition process, a very thin copper-tin alloy is deposited on a PVD copper seed layer, and then the copper-tin alloy is plated in a plating solution. An example of the invention is a cross-sectional view of a weir-type plating machine. The key machine 100 generally includes an electrolyte container 112 having an open top and a lid / substrate cooler 114 which is pivotably arranged on the electrolyte container 112. The cover / substrate holder 114 is generally structured to support a substrate 122 on a lower surface thereof through a plurality of grooves 124, and the grooves are formed on the lower surface of the substrate holder 114. The groove is in fluid communication with a vacuum pump (not shown), so 'when a negative pressure is applied to the groove by the vacuum pump, the substrate is fixed to the substrate holder 114 under a vacuum chuck operation. . A contact ring 120 is, for example, positioned under the cover assembly and is electrically connected to a power source 200305943 (not shown). Therefore, the contact ring 120 is configured to electrically engage the substrate 122 / provide a power bias to it. The contact soil 120, which may be annular in shape, generally includes a plurality of conductive contact pins 126 arranged on a circumferential portion of the contact ring 120. Most of the contact pins 126 extend substantially radially inwardly on the circumference of the soil plate W, and the tips of the contact pins 126 contact the conductive seed layer formed on the substrate 122. In addition, the electrolyte container m may include a separation film 128 positioned between an anode 116 and a substrate 122. The thin film 128 can be operated to define individual anode and cathode compartments in the electrolyte container " 2, i.e. the anode compartment will surround the anode and cathode compartments adjacent to the plating surface of the substrate. The anode Π 6 is structured to supply ions to the electroplating / liquid-knife separation membrane system contained in the container i 2 and is generally a thin film. The structure is configured to allow the electrolysis / valley fluid applied to the container to flow therethrough. Circulation of other materials, that is, dyeable materials, copper balls, etc. flow through the film and contact the substrate 22. The plating solution is supplied and the 6 g line 11 8 is supplied to the electrolyte container 11 2. The pipeline is generally connected to one of the pumps and the electrolyte supply system known in the art. Furthermore, there is a structure and / or structure of the anode Π 6 It should be noted that tin can exist in divalent and tetravalent states. Therefore, the transition from divalent to tetravalent state occurs roughly when the potential of a copper metal oxidized to Cu2 + is negative. This is represented by electroplating The challenge is that Sn2 + ions will be roughly oxidized on the surface of the anode, resulting in the formation of Sn02, which is an insoluble ceramic. These solid particles may block the anode and need to apply an electric voltage. Finally, the anode is completely blocked from the electrolyte. In addition, the formation of SnO2 also causes the solution to become dirty and causes the filter to frequently block and reduce the Sn2 + concentration in the electrolytic solution. However, the embodiment of the invention 9 200305943 These challenges are addressed by increasing the anode surface area until the anode current density is limited to a small value (cathode current bifurcation can be as large as 60 mA / cm2). This results in maintaining the anode It is located at a very small value, in which the oxidation reaction of Sn2 + to s ^ + is not possible. The transmission of ions into the anode chamber can be inserted by: In addition, 丨 W is prevented by 2 membranes. This can also be achieved by having an anode chamber ( The anode chamber is a fluid-permeable membrane separated from the cathode chamber. The anode chamber should have a positive | relative to the cathode chamber, so that only-fluid flows in the direction of the cathode chamber ..., anode chamber To maintain the temperature higher than the cathode chamber, so that the convection system faces the cathode chamber. Fig. 2 illustrates another cross-sectional view illustrating another example of the 4 electric mine treatment # 200 of the present invention. The treatment tank 200 generally includes a head assembly 21 and a treatment. Module M, and an electrolyte collector 240. The electrolyte collector 240 is generally structured to be fixed to the main frame of an electron microscope system. The electrolyte collector 240 generally includes-an inner wall 246, an outer wall 248, and a bottom 247, connected to the relevant wall surface. _ Electrolyte outlet 249 is arranged to be connected to an electrolyte replenishing system and system via the bottom 247 of the electrolyte collector 24 and via pipes, hoses, and other fluid transfer connectors. Head assembly 21 The 0 series is roughly mounted to the head assembly frame 252, which includes a mounting post 254 and a 256. The mounting post 254 is substantially split into a main frame body 214, and the cantilever 256 extends substantially laterally from a portion above the mounting post 254. Generally, the mounting post 254 provides a rotational motion relative to a vertical axis along the mounting post to allow rotation of the head assembly 21o. The lower end of the arm ⑸ is roughly connected to a cantilever actuator 257 mounted on a mounting post, such as a pneumatic cylinder. The cantilever actuator 257 provides 256 m pieces of actuation relative to the cantilever 10 200305943 arm to raise / lower a substrate with a set # 2 50, for example, to provide sufficient flexibility, it can reach a main system substrate. Seating surface Substrate. The conductive substrate of the processed substrate is accumulated on its conductive layer to pivotally move the cantilever 256 at its contact point between the substrate system and the mounting post 254. The assembly 210 generally includes a substrate holder assembly 250 and a substrate assembly 258. The substrate assembly actuator 25 8 operates to rotate and / or mount the substrate holder assembly 250. The substrate holder assembly 250 generally includes a holder 264 and an integrally formed cathode contact ring 266. The substrate holder 250 includes a plurality of true channels 267 formed under the substrate holder assembly. A vacuum channel 267 communicating with a vacuum pump (not shown) is annularly positioned on the lower side of the substrate holder button 25 and is structured to raise vacuum pressure to fix a substrate thereon for processing. A contact ring 266 electrically connected to a large power source (not shown) includes a ring-shaped main body having a plurality of conductive members arranged thereon for supplying power to a substrate on the substrate holder assembly 250 by a power source. The ring shape of the contact ring 266 is generally constructed of an insulating material. Most of the conductive members are electrically insulated from the main body and the conductive members of the contact ring 266 to form a diameter inner substrate. When processed, it can be supported and processed by the equipment 2000. However, the contact ring of the present invention is configured to be electrically engaged and contacted to the substrate, on the non-product side of the substrate, that is, on the back of the substrate, so that the product side does not make electrical or mechanical contact. Therefore, the substrate processed in the plating bath will generally have a back conductive layer, and the structure will electrically engage the back contact ring on the sink. In addition, it can be a layer extended back surface or a structure to enable the power supply to the front surface of the substrate or the product surface to complete the power mining. In operation, regardless of the plating bath structure used, the plated is roughly fixed to a substrate support and the surface of the substrate is contacted with a plating 11 200305943. In contact with the electro-mineral solution ..., an electrical bias is applied to the seed layer on the electroplated surface of the deposited soil. The electrical bias is roughly a biasing structure to charge the opposite side of the soil / seed layer with a cathode charge, which causes the electron ions in the power mineral solution to be pushed out of the seed layer of the solution. Electroplating on the surface of the substrate that is electrically charged by the cathode / In a conventional electroplating system, the electro-mineral solution generally contains an aqueous solution, which is L8, phosphoric acid, or a derivative thereof. The plating solution may further include one or more organic additives, gp balancers, inhibitors, accelerators, and / or other additives known in the art to facilitate control of the plating process. The additive is typically an organic material, which is known to absorb onto the base surface to which the electric clock is applied. For example, useful inhibitors may also include polyacids such as polyethylene, ethylene glycol, or other polymers such as polypropylene. Oxides are known to inhibit deposition rates on substrates. Useful accelerators can be, for example, sulfides or disulfides, such as bis (3-sulfopropyl) disulfide, which affect the microstructure of the steel deposited on the substrate. Useful balancing agents may include amines and polyamides, which improve the thickness distribution of steel deposited on a substrate. Because the present invention is structured to deposit a homogeneous copper-tin alloy in an electrochemical plating process', conventional steel plating solutions can be modified to include tin ions needed to support copper-tin plating. However, the amount of copper and tin deposited in the electrochemical plating process is mainly managed by two factors: first, the plating potential when the plating operation is performed; and second, the concentration of tin ions in the plating solution is proportional to the solution The concentration of copper ions in it. Regarding the concentration of tin in the plating solution 'because tin has a very low solid solubility in steel, which is about less than about 0.5% by weight. A large amount of tin is added to the plating solution, which generally causes gold 12 200305943 intermetallic compounds Formation, which is detrimental to the interconnection of semiconductor devices. Therefore, we want to keep the tin percentage in the electroplated alloy below 1.5%, which provides good conductive characteristics and good electromigration characteristics when compared to traditional copper interconnects. In addition, localized cohesion of high concentrations of tin produced by plating solutions or copper-tin alloys also causes disadvantages. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention contemplates that the calculated concentration of tin is structured to produce optimal plating characteristics without forming intermetallic compounds. The calculated concentration of tin is much less than the concentration of copper in the plating solution, that is, less than Approximately 1.5% of tin versus approximately 98.5% or greater copper. Regarding the plating potential used to plate a homogeneous copper-tin film, it is known that a specific plating potential range results in optimal plating of a specific metal. Therefore, for copper-tin alloys to be plated with a single plating solution, the plating potential applied during the plating operation will substantially overlap the range of plating potentials for the two metals. Therefore, when the applied plating potential is within the plating range of the two metals, the plating of both metals can be performed simultaneously. It should be noted, however, that the plating potential for the metal varies with the concentration of metal ions in the plating solution and other parameters. Therefore, specific processing parameters will vary depending on the processing system. For reference, however, the standard reduction potential for copper is 0 · 34 volts relative to a standard argon electrode, and the standard reduction potential for tin is -0.33 volts relative to a standard hydrogen electrode. The change in reduction potential caused by the concentration change can be calculated by the following equation: E = E0-R.T.ln [M +] (1) where E is the deposition potential of the metal, and E. Represents the standard deposition potential, R represents the constant, T represents the temperature of the plating solution, and M represents the concentration of the metal ions to be plated in the plating solution. Therefore, because the standard deposition / reduction potential of copper is much larger than the standard deposition potential of tin, the reduction potential of copper can be closer to the reduction potential of tin through the calculation of the processing parameters in equation (1). However, although formula (1) indicates that the reduction potentials of copper and tin can be closer to promote homogeneous electroplating of copper-tin alloys, changes in the ion concentration alone will not cause a large change in the reduction potential of a metal. In addition, the traditional copper plating system is roughly optimized to complete the high aspect ratio characteristics of non-pore filling. Therefore, we do not want to modify the concentration of copper ions in the plating solution to complete the simultaneous plating of copper and tin, because Copper plating features can tolerate modification. Therefore, another parameter is adjusted to obtain effective and simultaneous electroplating of copper and tin. The electroplating potential or current density applied to the substrate surface during the electroplating process. For example, Figure 3 shows the current vs. voltage graph used to deposit copper and tin individually. As shown in Figure 3, at potential V1, no tin deposition and very little copper deposition occur. However, when the potential was increased from V1 to V3, the amount of tin deposition increased and the amount of copper deposition also increased. The same effect works to a limited range and is accomplished by increasing the tin ion (Sn2 +) concentration in the plating solution. In addition, although the conventional plating system is not desired for the reasons mentioned above, the same effect can be accomplished by reducing the concentration of copper ions (Cu2 +) in the plating solution. Therefore, based on the parameter that can be modified to facilitate the simultaneous deposition of copper and tin, the embodiments of the present invention contemplate that the following processing parameters will allow a substantially homogeneous copper-tin alloy film to be formed in an electrochemical plating bath. A copper plating solution can be used to implement the embodiments of the present invention. The conventional copper plating solution as described above may contain, for example, a copper source, a halogenated source, and most of the organic additives, which are structured to control the elements.

Therefore, the electroplating system roughly includes a supplement mechanism, which is structured to supplement the additives consumed in the electroplating process, so that a fairly constant concentration of the additives can be maintained in the clock solution. However, it is known that the difference in the diffusion rate of various additives may result in a change in the concentration of a specific additive at the top of a high aspect ratio characteristic compared to the bottom of the characteristic, thereby establishing a difference between the top of the characteristic and the bottom of the characteristic. Plating rate. For example, inhibitors can have larger molecules, which can diffuse more slowly than accelerators. Therefore, less inhibitors are absorbed onto the bottom surface of high aspect ratio characteristics than accelerators. Therefore, the bottom of the feature can have a faster plating rate than the top of the feature, and therefore, the fill rate of the feature is increased. Therefore, it is desirable to have additives with appropriate composition in the plating solution to complete the non-void filling with high aspect ratio characteristics.
C 為了同時電鍍銅及錫,本發明之實施例想出加入錫離 子至上述銅電鍍溶液中。錫離子的來源包含例如 SnS04、 SnCl2、或其他含錫化合物,其可接受一銅電化學電鍍溶 液者。於電鍍溶液中之錫離子的濃度係於約 0.1M至約 0.9M之間,而於電鍍溶液中之銅離子的濃度係於約0.2Μ 至約0 · 8Μ之間。於本發明之另一態樣中,於電鍍溶液中 之銅濃度可以於0.4Μ至約0.8Μ之間。使用銅錫溶液, 以於銅錫電鍍製程中,施加至基板的電鍍電流密度係於約 16 200305943 5mA/cm2至約6〇mA/cm2之間,例如,於一定電流密度。C In order to electroplate copper and tin simultaneously, an embodiment of the present invention contemplates adding tin ions to the above-mentioned copper electroplating solution. The source of tin ions includes, for example, SnS04, SnCl2, or other tin-containing compounds, which can accept a copper electrochemical plating solution. The concentration of tin ions in the plating solution is between about 0.1M to about 0.9M, and the concentration of copper ions in the plating solution is between about 0.2M to about 0.8M. In another aspect of the present invention, the copper concentration in the plating solution may be between 0.4M and about 0.8M. Using a copper-tin solution, the current density of the plating current applied to the substrate during the copper-tin electroplating process is between about 16 200305943 5 mA / cm2 to about 60 mA / cm2, for example, at a certain current density.
或者,電鐘電流密度也可以於整個銅錫沉積製程中加 以變化,即於電鍍製程中,電流密度步階上升或下降,或 交替於高及低電流密度之間。例如,電流密度係被計算以 在填充一特性的啟始階段中,促成銅錫沉積,然後,當特 性被界面處,略墊以銅錫合金時,電流密度被改變以促成 更多銅大沉積。另外,於銅錫電沉積製程中’支撐基板 的基板支撐件係以約5RPM至約40RPM轉速旋轉,同時, 銅錫電鍛 >谷液流入電鏟槽中之流量係例如於約〇 · 5 G P Μ至 約6.5 GPM之間。本發明之實施例想出電鍍槽能提供大致 怪定流體動力,使得於基板的電鍍表面之電鍍溶液的流速 恆定。此作用以維持銅及錫離子的新鮮供應於電鍍表面, 這對於同時電鍍操作係重要的,因為一離子可以大致較另 一離子為快栝蝎,並造成於合金層中之不均勻(空間非均 質合金)。Alternatively, the clock current density can be changed throughout the copper-tin deposition process, that is, during the electroplating process, the current density step increases or decreases, or alternates between high and low current densities. For example, the current density is calculated to promote copper-tin deposition during the initial stage of filling a characteristic, and then, when the characteristic is interfaced with a copper-tin alloy, the current density is changed to promote more large copper deposition. . In addition, the substrate supporting member that supports the substrate in the copper-tin electrodeposition process is rotated at a rotation speed of about 5 RPM to about 40 RPM, and at the same time, the flow rate of the copper-tin electro-forging > valley liquid flowing into the shovel tank is, for example, about 0.5 GP M to about 6.5 GPM. An embodiment of the present invention contemplates that the plating bath can provide approximately strange fluid power so that the flow rate of the plating solution on the plating surface of the substrate is constant. This action is to maintain the fresh supply of copper and tin ions to the electroplated surface, which is important for simultaneous electroplating operations, because one ion can be roughly faster than the other ion and cause unevenness in the alloy layer (non-spatial Homogeneous alloy).

The tempering process can contribute to grain size determination, grain distribution in the alloy, and crystal structure of the alloy. An embodiment of the present invention contemplates a tempering process that can be implemented by tempering a homogeneous steel-tin alloy film, wherein the tempering process includes exposing the film to a temperature between, for example, about 200 ° C to about 400 ° C. . The exposure / tempering time of the copper-tin film can be from about 5 minutes to about 1 hour, depending on the desired structure and the available thermal budget of the process. The resulting substantially homogeneous copper-tin layer will have a tin concentration of up to about 2% by weight. More specifically, the homogeneous copper-tin alloy of the present invention will have a tin concentration between 0.2% and about 1% by weight, or Example 17 200305943 as a tin concentration between about 0.2% by weight and 0.6% by weight. . Figures 4, 5a, and 5b are roughly illustrative examples of the relationship between the current density applied to the substrate and the plating speed during plating. FIG. 4 is more specific. For example, the tin alloy deposition map, in which the substrate in the plating solution is maintained at 20 RPM, the copper concentration in the plating solution changes to about 44 g / L, and the tin concentration in the plating solution Changed to about 20 g / L, which was calculated to produce a lower-than-alloy. Figures 5a and 5b illustrate the plating process of the present invention for varying concentrations of tin and copper in a plating solution and, for a sample concentration framework, an increased substrate rotation speed. Each concentration region shown includes a copper concentration, which is a much higher tin concentration. Figures 6, 7 and 8 illustrate exemplary graphs of the current implementation (4 / area) versus current density. Figure 6 shows the needle segment. Fig. 7 illustrates several examples of application to the plating process, namely the concentration of tin and copper, expressed at the substrate rotation speed. However, the concentration of copper and tin used in the solution is set so that copper is much larger than tin, that is, because the metal in the plating solution is only about 0.5% to about 1.5 ° / in the deposited alloy. tin. In the electroplating process, the relationship between the current density applied to the substrate and the base resistance is shown. Among them, only a few examples are shown. Figure 9 illustrates the relationship between the tin concentration and the flow rate into the plating solution in the embodiment of the present invention. relationship.
