| Abstract: | Barriers to prevent diffusion of copper, oxygen and water vapor were formed by CVD using a manganese precursor vapor that reacts with silica surfaces. The manganese metal penetrates only a few nanometers into the silica to make conformal amorphous manganese silicate layers. This MnSixOy was found to be an excellent barrier to the diffusion of Cu, O2 and H2O vapor. The adhesion strength of Cu to the MnSixOy was found to be sufficiently strong to satisfy the semiconductor industry requirements for interconnections in future microelectronic devices. CVD Mn dissolves into copper surfaces and then diffuses to increase adhesion to SiCNO capping layers. |
