The electromigration characteristics and kinetics of damage formation for Al(Cu,Si) line segments on a continuous W line and Al(Cu)/W two‐level interconnect structures have been investigated. The mass transport as a function of temperature was meas

The demands of ULSI in the sub-micron regime require the understanding of properties and control of microstructure in a situation where one or more of the characteristic dimensions of the sample is of the same order as the grain size of the material.

Mass transport by electromigration in sputtered Cu line segments on a continuous W line has been measured using the drift velocity technique at temperatures from 166 to 396 °C. The Ta/Cu/Ta line segments are patterned by dry etching techniques. Cu m

Grain growth is the key process in the development of the microstructure of deposited metal films. Grain boundaries in turn exert a dominant influence on the properties of interconnects in integrated circuits. In addition to the practical importance

Interconnect features of W metal, recessed in an dielectric, can be formed using a novel chemical‐mechanical polish process. Mechanical action, to continually disrupt a surface passivating film on W, and chemical action, to remove W, appear to be r

Patterning Ti/TiN/Ti/Al(2 wt. % Cu)/Si interconnection lines over 700 nm topographic steps in SiO2 with an angle of 84° is reported using a reactive ion etching. The etching gas is a mixture of BCl3/Cl2/N2/CHCl3 and the etching process uses a combin

Damage formation at grain boundary junctions has long been recognized as the dominant electromigration failure mechanism in metal lines. We report the results of drift‐velocity experiments on fine lines with no reservoirs and find that the interfac

It is demonstrated that electromigration testing needs to be performed in structures that reflect use conditions, such as when there is a flux divergence as provided by the W stud‐Al(Cu) interface rather than in a simple planar structure. The Al(Cu
