摘要
In this study, we examine the growth of a < 111 >-oriented Cu layer on a thin TaWN ternary alloy barrier for good electromigration reliability. The strongly preferentially oriented Cu(111) layer is observed on a thin TaWN barrier even in the as-deposited Cu (100 nm)/TaWN (5nm)/Si system. Also, this system tolerates annealing at 700 degrees C for 1 h without silicide reaction. It is revealed that the TaWN film is one of the excellent barriers with thermal stability and low resistivity. Simultaneously, the TaWN film is a candidate for a superior underlying material to achieve the Cu(111) preferential orientation. (C) 2017 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
