View page
US Patent:
6383929, May 7, 2002
Filed:
Jan 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/759015
Inventors:
Steven H. Boettcher - Fishkill NY
Herbert L. Ho - Cornwall NY
Mark Hoinkis - Fishkill NY
Hyun Koo Lee - LaGrangeville NY
Yun-Yu Wang - Poughquag NY
Kwong Hon Wong - Wappingers Falls NY
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk
Infineon Technologies North America Corp. - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H01L 2144
US Classification:
438687, 438643, 438644, 438653, 438654
Abstract:
In integrated circuits having copper interconnect and low-k interlayer dielectrics, a problem of open circuits after heat treatment was discovered and solved by the use of a first liner layer of Ti, followed by a conformal liner layer of CVD TiN, followed in turn by a final liner layer of Ta or TaN, thus improving adhesion between the via and the underlying copper layer while reducing the increase in resistance caused by alloying between the Ti and the Copper to an acceptable amount.

US Classification:
29846, 29847, 29852, 29830, 29831
Abstract:
In integrated circuits having copper interconnect and low-k interlayer dielectrics, a problem of open circuits after heat treatment was discovered and solved by the use of a first liner layer of Cr, followed by a conformal liner layer of CVD TiN, followed in turn by a final liner layer of Ta or TaN, thus improving adhesion between the via and the underlying copper layer while maintaining low resistance.

US Patent:
6864171, Mar 8, 2005
Filed:
Oct 9, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/682462
Inventors:
Mark D. Hoinkis - Fishkill NY, US
Matthias P. Hierlemann - Hsinchu, TW
Mohammed Fazil Fayaz - Pleasantville NY, US
Andy Cowley - Wappingers Falls NY, US
Erdum Kaltalioglu - Hsinchu, TW
Assignee:
Infineon Technologies AG - Munich
International Classification:
H01L021/4763
US Classification:
438638, 257774, 257775, 257776, 738639, 738640, 738668
Abstract:
Thermo-mechanical stress on vias is reduced, thereby reducing related failures. This can be done by maintaining a via-to-metal area ratio at least as large as a predetermined value below which the additional stress on the vias does not significantly increase.

Assignee:
Infineon Technologies AG - Munich
International Classification:
H01L023/48
US Classification:
257750, 257767
Abstract:
A conductor for interconnecting integrated circuit components having improved reliability. The conductor includes a liner surrounding at least three surfaces of the conductor, producing a low textured conductor. It has been found that low textured conductor results in improved electromigration lifetime.

US Patent:
6960835, Nov 1, 2005
Filed:
Oct 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/698057
Inventors:
Hans-Joachim Barth - Munich, DE
Erdem Kaltalioglu - Fishkill NY, US
Mark D. Hoinkis - Fishkill NY, US
Gerald R. Friese - Munich, DE
Pak Leung - Cedar Park TX, US
Assignee:

International Classification:
H01L023/48
H01L021/4763
US Classification:
257758, 257635, 438622
Abstract:
In a semiconductor integrated circuit device, thermo-mechanical stresses on the vias can be reduced by introducing a stress relief layer between the vias and a hard dielectric layer that overlies the vias.

Crystallographic Modification Of Hard Mask Properties

US Patent:
7001835, Feb 21, 2006
Filed:
Nov 21, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/707119
Inventors:
Lawrence A. Clevenger - LaGrangeville NY, US
Andrew P. Cowley - Wappingers Falls NY, US
Timothy J. Dalton - Ridgefield CT, US
Mark Hoinkis - Fishkill NY, US
Steffen K. Kaldor - Fishkill NY, US

Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
Infineon Technologies, AG - Munich
International Classification:
H01L 21/4763
US Classification:
438618, 438637
Abstract:
A hardmask layer in the back end of an integrated circuit is formed from TaN having a composition of less than 50% Ta and a resistivity greater than 400 μOhm-cm, so that it is substantially transparent in the visible and permits visual alignment of upper and lower alignment marks through the hardmask and intervening layer(s) of ILD. A preferred method of formation of the hardmask is by sputter deposition of Ta in an ambient containing Nand a flow rate such that (Nflow)/(N+carrier flow)>0. 5.

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
C23F 1/00
US Classification:
216 51, 438622, 438623, 438627, 438628, 438648, 428336, 428446, 428457, 428627, 428660, 428698
Abstract:
A metal hardmask for use with a Dual Damascene process used in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices. The metal hardmask has advantageous translucent characteristics to facilitate alignment between levels while fabricating a semiconductor device and avoids the formation of metal oxide residue deposits. The metal hardmask comprises a first or primary layer of TiN (titanium nitride) and a second or capping layer of TaN (tantalum nitride).

Reduction Of The Shear Stress In Copper Via's In Organic Interlayer Dielectric Material

View page
US Patent:
7060619, Jun 13, 2006
Filed:
Mar 4, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/379346
Inventors:
Andy Cowley - Wappinger Falls NY, US
Erdem Kaltalioglu - Wappinger Falls NY, US
Mark Hoinkis - Fishkill NY, US
Michael Stetter - Munich, DE
Assignee:
Infineon Technologies AG - Munich
International Classification:
H01L 21/44
H01L 21/4763
US Classification:
438687, 438624, 438626, 438627, 438637
Abstract:
Interconnect layers on a semiconductor body containing logic circuits (microprocessors, Asics or others) or random access memory cells (DRAMS) are formed in a manner to significantly reduce the number of shorts between adjacent conductor/vias with narrow separations in technologies having feature sizes of 0. 18 microns or smaller. This is accomplished by etching to form recessed copper top surfaces on each layer after a chemical-mechanical polishing process has been completed. The thickness of an applied barrier layer, on the recessed copper surfaces, is controlled to become essentially co-planar with the surrounding insulator surfaces. A thicker barrier layer eliminates the need for a capping layer. The elimination of a capping layer results in a reduction in the overall capacitive coupling, stress, and cost.
