- W4225136957 abstract "Power semiconductor device architectures require the inclusion of a diffusion barrier to suppress, or at best prevent the interdiffusion between the copper metallisation interconnects and the surrounding silicon substructure. The binary pseudo-alloy of titanium-tungsten (TiW), with $>$70~at.% W, is a well established copper diffusion barrier but is prone to degradation via the out-diffusion of titanium when exposed to high temperatures ($geq$400$^circ$C). Here, the thermal stability of physical vapour deposited (PVD) TiW/Cu bilayer thin films in Si/SiOtextsubscript{2}(50~nm)/TiW(300~nm)/Cu(25~nm) stacks were characterised in response to annealing at 400$^circ$C for 0.5~h and 5~h, using a combination of soft and hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (SXPS and HAXPES) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results show that annealing promoted the segregation of titanium out of the TiW and interdiffusion into the copper metallisation. Titanium was shown be driven toward the free copper surface, accumulating there and forming a titanium oxide overlayer upon exposure to air. Annealing for longer timescales promoted a greater out-diffusion of titanium and a thicker oxide layer to grow on the copper surface. However, interface measurements suggest that the diffusion is not significant enough to compromise the barrier integrity and the TiW/Cu interface remains stable even after 5~h of annealing." @default.
