Abstract:

In this work, a low-resistance and low-cost PVD-TiZrN barrier is evaluated for BEOL interconnect. Comparing to conventional PVD barrier, comparable Cu barrier and Cu wetting properties are obtained. Moreover, up to 55% of via resistance reduction is achieved, with comparable voltage breakdown performance comparing to conventional one.
