Description
本願は、2009年06月12日に日本出願された特願2009-141440に基づいて優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
上記酸素含有Cu層又は酸素含有Cu合金層に含まれる添加元素は、20原子%以下、望ましくは15原子%以下含まれていてもよい。上記添加元素が20原子%以下であると、酸素含有Cu層又は酸素含有Cu合金層中に生成される酸化物や金属間化合物の量が制限されることから、電気抵抗値が著しく増大することがなく、配線層としての利用に支障を来たすことがない。
上記添加元素は、20原子%以下、望ましくは15原子%以下含まれていてもよい。上記添加元素が20原子%以下であると、酸素含有Cu層又は酸素含有Cu合金層中に生成される酸化物や金属間化合物の量が制限されることから、電気抵抗値が著しく増大することがなく、配線層としての利用に支障を来たすことがない。
まず、下地基板1として半導体基板またはガラス基板を準備し、その表面に銅を含有するターゲットを利用してO2雰囲気内でスパッタを行う。この時使用する銅を含有するターゲットは、Ca、Mg、Li、Al、Zr、Ti、Si、Mn、Cr、希土類からなる群より選択される少なくとも一種類の添加元素を含んでいてもよい。
以下、本発明に基づいて実際に配線層構造を形成し、その評価を行った結果を説明する。
次に、これをスパッタ装置に挿入し、溶解調整したCu-4原子%Alの成分組成を有するCu合金スパッタリングターゲットを用いて、
