3 COPPER INTERCONNECT WIRING The levels of interconnect wiring in microelectronics will increase to 8-9 over the next decade producing unacceptable signal propogation delays. Innovative remedies such as copper wiring are being implemented. Ref: IBM Microelectronics GECA99C12
4 IONIZED METAL PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION (IMPVD) In IMPVD, a second plasma source is used to ionize a large fraction of the the sputtered metal atoms prior to reaching the substrate.

5 IMPVD DEPOSITION PROFILES METAL IONS In IMPVD, a large fraction of the atoms arriving at the substrate are ionized. METAL ATOMS Applying a bias to the substrate narrows the angular distribution of the metal ions. The anisotropic deposition flux enables deep vias and trenches to be uniformly filled.

11 HCM- Cu IMPVD: ELECTRON DENSITY, TEMPERATURE Electron densities in excess of cm -3 are generated inside and in the throat of the cathode. Fractional ionizations are 10%. Electron temperatures peak at 4-5 ev in the cathode, and are a few ev downstream. E-Density (6.6 x cm -3 ) E-Temperature (4.8 ev) Ar, 6 mtorr, 150 sccm, 325 V, 160 G GECA99C04
12 HCM- Cu IMPVD: ELECTRON SOURCES Secondary electron emission and beam ionization produce electron sources in the cathode. Ionization in the bulk plasma, however, is the major electron source. E-beam (3 x cm -3 s -1 ) Bulk (5 x cm -3 s -1 ) Ar, 6 mtorr, 150 sccm, 325 V, 160 G GECA99C05
13 HCM- Cu DENSITIES Neutral copper [Cu( 2 S) + Cu( 2 D)] undergoes rapid ionization and rarefaction in the throat of the cathode. The majority of neutral copper is in metastable Cu( 2 D). Fractional ionization of Cu in the bulk is 10's %. Cu (1.9 x cm -3 ) GECA99C06 Cu + (1.5 x cm -3 ) Ar, 6 mtorr, 150 sccm, 325 V, 160 G
14 HCM- GAS TEMPERATURE Average Gas Temperature (max = 1530 K) Gas heating occurs dominantly by symmetric charge exchange between Ar neutrals and ions, and produces significant rarefaction. Slip between neutrals and disparate rates of charge exchange produce differences in their maximum temperatures: Ar: 1546 K Cu: 900 K Ar, 6 mtorr, 150 sccm, 325 V, 160 G GECA99C07
15 ELECTRON DENSITY AND TEMPERATURE vs EXPERIMENT 3.5 EXPERIMENT MODEL ELECTRON TEMPERATURE (ev) MODEL EXPERIMENT Electron Density RADIUS (cm) Electron Temperature Langmuir probe measurements of electron density (2.8 cm above substrate) show densities and temperatures more highly peaked on axis. The model underpredicts the "jetting" of plasma from the throat of the cathode which likely results from long-mean-free path effects not captured by the ion model. Ar, 6 mtorr, 150 sccm, 325 V, 160 G GECA99C09
16 ELECTRON DENSITY, TEMPERATURE vs BIAS HCM devices have significantly "less steep" I-V characteristics compared to conventional magnetron discharges. For example, downstream plasma densities and power deposition scale nearly linearly with bias. Electron temperatures are weak functions of bias. ELECTRON DENSITY (10 11 cm -3 ) EXPERIMENT MODEL CATHODE BIAS (v) ELECTRON TEMPERATURE (ev) EXPERIMENT MODEL CATHODE BIAS (v) GECA99C18
17 HCM- ION AND CU FLUXES TO THE SUBSTRATE 10 FLUX (10 17 cm -2 s -1 ) Ar + Cu (Direct) Cu + Cu( 2 D) Ion flux to the substrate is dominated by Ar+ Direct non-thermal Cu dominates the Cu fluxes to the substrate. The Cu flux is 25-30% ionized. 0 Cu( 2 S) Ar, 6 mtorr, 150 sccm, 325 V, 160 G GECA99C08
18 Cu DEPOSITION RATE EXPERIMENT ( x 1.33) MODEL The off-axis peak in direct sputter flux produces an offaxis peak in the deposition rate. Cu Deposition Rate (A/min) Ar, 6 mtorr, 150 sccm, 325 V, 160 G GECA99C10
19 TARGET EROSION CORNER DEPOSITION EXPERIMENT MODEL 0 EROSION L POSITION ALONG TARGET (cm) HCM TARGET B-FIELD Magnetron trapping and the resulting large ion fluxes to the target occurs at the side walls. Net deposition of sputtered Cu occurs on the end walls while the side walls experience net erosion. Ar, 6 mtorr, 150 sccm, 325 V, 160 G GECA99C11
20 CONCLUDING REMARKS Hollow Cathode Magnetrons (HCM) are capable of producing metal deposition with plasma densities of cm -3. The HCM operates somewhat as a remote plasma source with moderate electron temperatures near the substrate compared to the cathode interior. The configuration of the magnetic field is important in at least two respects: Jetting of plasma at throat of cathode Erosion profile inside the cathode Small HCMs having higher power densities experience significant rarefaction which ultimately limits their capability to produce high plasma densities and deposition rates. Large HCMs (10-20 cm diameter) which avoid these problems have been designed and built based on these scalings studies. GEC99C16
