摘要
A highly reliable interface of an ultrathin Zr(Ge) exhaustion interlayer between Cu(Zr) film and porous SiOC:H (p-SiOC:H) dielectric has been developed in the present work. After being processed at a moderate elevated temperature (say, 450 degrees C), a self-formed nanomultilayer of CuGex/ZrOx(ZrSiyOx) was produced at the interface of Cu(Zr)/p-SiOC:H film stacks, which showed strong ability to effectively hinder Cu atoms diffusion into p-SiOC: H film and free Si atoms diffusion into Cu film. The mechanism involving the thermal stability of the films system is analyzed based on detailed characterization studies. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.3013565]
