Popis: | The metallurgical reaction at 450°C in forming gas ambient between the Ti diffusion barrier and Al, causing the contact degradation in the Al (1% Si)-Ti multilayer interconnects has been studied. The Ti-Al reaction is reduced by preheating the Ti layer in N2 using rapid thermal processing (RTP) at 2.500°C. The curtailed reaction is attributed to the thin surface titanium oxynitride layer. It was found that a 1000-Å Ti layer inserted between the multilayer and Si is effective as a sacrificial diffusion barrier against contact degradation, but 500-Å Ti is not. RTP of the thin Ti film rendered it effective as a diffusion barrier. |
