Abstract
As part of our continued studies into improving the performance of multilevel interconnect schemes, we have investigated the film properties and etchability of the AlSiCu/TiN and AlSiCu/TiW film stacks. In this study, two different types of TiN film were deposited by reactive sputtering: low-density (LD) TiN and high-density (HD) TiN. Low-density TiN film was found to have greater oxygen stuffing capability. Both the AlSiCu/TiN and AlSiCu/TiW film stacks can be easily etched anisotropically using high density plasma technology. Barrier integrity of these two film stacks was analyzed by high temperature furnace stress.
