[Previous technology] The dual damascene process is a method that can simultaneously form a metal wire and a plug above and below a stacked structure in a dielectric layer. The dual damascene structure mainly includes an upper trench (t re nch) and the following Layer contact holes (via ho 1 e), used to connect different components and wires between layers in a semiconductor wafer, and use the inner interlayer dielectric | materials (int er-1 ay er die 1 ectrics) to isolate them from other components 隹. Because the resistance value of copper is smaller than that of Shao, it can carry a larger current on a smaller surface area, allowing manufacturers to produce faster, denser circuits, and improve the efficiency of about 30-4 0% chips. Therefore, it has become a mainstream technology to use a dual damascene structure to fill copper to produce a dual damascene copper wire. As the development of integrated circuits becomes more sophisticated and complex, how to effectively reduce the complexity of the process and increase the yield of the dual mosaic structure without increasing the cost of production is a very important issue in the current integrated circuit manufacturing process. Please refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 7. Fig. 1 to Fig. 7 are schematic diagrams of a conventional method for making a pair of inlaid copper wires. As shown in Figure 1, the semiconductor wafer 10 contains

Description of the invention (4) As shown in FIG. 6, a deposition process is then performed to form a barrier layer 32 on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. The barrier layer 32 is composed of silicon nitride to prevent the copper (copper, Cu) or tungsten (tungsten, W) from each conductive layer from diffusing into the silicon, and the barrier layer 32 may also be It is composed of silicon nitride and tantalum / titanium / titanium nitride (butyl 3/1 ^ / 1 ^^) composite materials to increase the subsequent coverage between the metal layer on the dual damascene structure and the dual damascene structure. Adhesive force. After that, a re-spu 11 er process is performed repeatedly to remove a part of the barrier layer 32 covering the surface of the conductive layer 14 so that the surface of the conductive layer [4] is blown out. Another physical A vapor deposition (Physi Ca 1 Vapor deposition, PVD) process is used to form a Cu seed layer 34 on the i-side of the semiconductor wafer, so that the copper seed layer 34 covers and is exposed. Conductive layer 14 and barrier layer 32. In addition to providing a current-conducting path (conductjvepath), the purpose of making the copper seed layer 34 is to provide a copper nucleation layer in advance to facilitate subsequent electrical bond copper. Can be nucleated and grown on it. Then a copper electric forging is performed. (ECP) process, a metal layer 36 is formed on the surface of the copper seed layer 34, and gold I and the lower contact hole 31 are formed. As shown in FIG. 7, a chemical mechanical polishing process is then performed, using the barrier layer 32 as the End point of polishing (end — p int), remove the areas covering the upper trench 30 and the lower contact hole 3 丨 metal layer 36 and copper seed layer 34, and leave the upper trench 30 and the lower layer The surface of the metal layer 3 6 in the contact hole 3 丨 is approximately tangent to the surface of the barrier layer 3 2 outside the upper trench 30 0. 1236100 V. Description of the invention (5) Finally, a protective layer is formed on the surface of the semiconductor wafer 10 38, such as a silicon nitride layer, to complete the production of dual-inlaid copper wires. Although the low-dielectric constant material and the low-resistance copper wire form a perfect match in terms of material properties, it will be able to Effectively reduce the RC delay (RC de 1 ay) effect caused by signal transmission between wires when the component size is miniaturized. However, such a perfect material combination has encountered a great bottleneck in the manufacturing process. Due to the copper seed layer 3 4 series were physically vapor deposited The thin film produced by the physical deposition process and the physical vapor deposition process does not provide good step coverage to cause overhang, which causes the copper seed layer 34 to be discontinuous and non-uniform ( not con ti nuous and no t un if 〇rm) / ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ A. ^ ^ voids are generated in the metal layer 36 to be structured, which is the so-called copper filling in the industry (C ugap-fi 1 1 ing) Bad problems, and the poor adhesion force of the seed layer 34 to the barrier layer 32 caused by copper b often causes the metal layer 36 to peel off during subsequent chemical mechanical polishing (pee 1 i ng) ) Phenomenon, the yield of King 4 ring double inlaid copper wire is huge. Please refer to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a defect caused by a pair of inlaid copper wires. As shown in Figure 8, the phenomenon of overhanging the copper seed layer 42 is most likely to occur at the opening of the contact hole 44 and is prone to discontinuities at the bottom of the contact hole 44. Therefore, the growth of the lower layer and the bottom layer is often caused when copper plating It is slower, and the 4% \ Λ method becomes the bottom up filling behavior. Therefore, after the power ore is completed, holes 48 will be generated in the metal layer 46.

Description of the invention (7) Overhang phenomenon, therefore, the continuity and uniformity of the copper seed layer, and the ability of the copper seed layer to adhere to the barrier layer will be improved. In addition, the conductive layer itself has excellent continuity, uniformity and good current conduction capacity. In the subsequent copper electroplating process, the phenomenon of overall conduction unevenness will be significantly improved, making the current distribution very uniform, and Improve copper filling capacity. At the same time, under the premise that the current conduction of the conductive layer is very uniform, the process window of the subsequent copper electroplating process can also be significantly enlarged. In addition, when the copper seed layer is an alloy layer, the alloy atoms in it will be adsorbed on the grain boundaries, which will effectively prevent the diffusion of steel atoms along the grain boundaries, which will greatly improve the reliability of the product (re 1 iabi 1 ity) performance.
