- Films of metals, particularly ruthenium films, are becoming important for a variety of electronic and electrochemical applications.
- ruthenium films are generally unreactive to silicon and metal oxides, and are good conductors.
- Films of ruthenium have suitable properties for a variety of uses in integrated circuits. For example, they can be used in integrated circuits for electrical contacts. They are particularly suitable for use as barrier layers between the dielectric material and the silicon substrate in memory devices, such as ferroelectric memories. Furthermore, they may even be suitable as the plate (i.e., electrode) itself in capacitors.

- the method includes the steps of: providing a liquid precursor composition comprising one or more compounds of the formula (Formula I):
- iene refers to linear, branched, or cyclic dienes, bicyclic dienes, tricyclic dienes, fluorinated derivatives thereof, derivatives thereof additionally containing heteroatoms such as halide, Si, S, Se, P, As, N, or O, or combinations thereof; vaporizing the liquid precursor composition to form vaporized precursor composition; and directing the vaporized precursor composition in combination with one or more oxidizing gases toward the semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly to form a ruthenium metal film on a surface of the semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly.
- the oxidizing gas is less oxidizing than oxygen (O 2 ). This method is particularly useful on complex structures, such as those containing one or more small high aspect ratio features (e.g., openings or post-type structures), which typically require excellent step coverage.
- Complexes of Formula I suitable for use in the methods of the present invention are neutral complexes and are liquids at a temperature within a range of about 20°C to about 50°C. They can be used in flash vaporization, bubbling, microdroplet formation techniques, etc., as neat liquids or in combination with an organic solvent.

- Suitable organic solvents that could be used include hydrocarbons such as hexane, pentane, and toluene, for example.
- Methods of the present invention are particularly well suited for forming films on a surface of a semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly, such as a silicon wafer, having high surface area topology, such as high aspect ratio openings formed therein, but such gaps are not required, used in forming integrated circuits. It is to be understood that methods of the present invention are not limited to deposition on silicon wafers; rather, other types of wafers (e.g., gallium arsenide wafer, etc.) can be used as well. Also, the methods of the present invention can be used in silicon-on-insulator technology. Furthermore, substrates other than semiconductor substrates or substrate assemblies can be used in methods of the present invention. These include, for example, fibers, wires, etc.

- the oxidizing gas is less oxidizing than oxygen (O ).
- Figure 1 is a schematic of a chemical vapor deposition system suitable for use in the method of the present invention.
- the present invention provides methods of forming a ruthenium metal film using a vaporization technique (e.g., a chemical vapor deposition technique) and one or more liquid ruthenium complexes. Specifically, the present invention is directed to methods of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a ruthenium metal film thereon.
- the liquid ruthenium complexes are of the following formula
- (diene)Ru(CO) 3 wherein: “diene” refers to linear, branched, or cyclic dienes, bicyclic dienes, tricyclic dienes, fluorinated derivatives thereof, derivatives thereof additionally containing heteroatoms such as halide, Si, S, Se, P, As, N, or O, or combinations thereof.
- the diene ligands include about 5 to about 8 carbon atoms, and more preferably, about 6 to about 7 carbon atoms.
- Complexes of Formula I that are suitable for use in the present invention are neutral complexes and are liquids at room temperature or are solids at room temperature that melt at an elevated temperature up to about 50°C. These complexes are suitable for use in vaporization techniques (e.g., chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques), such as flash vaporization techniques, bubbler techniques, and/or microdroplet techniques, optionally in combination with an organic solvent.
- vaporization techniques e.g., chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques
- flash vaporization techniques e.g., flash vaporization techniques, bubbler techniques, and/or microdroplet techniques
- Preferred embodiments of the complexes described herein are particularly suitable for low temperature CVD, e.g., deposition techniques involving substrate temperatures of about 100°C to about 400°C.
- a preferred class of complexes include those that have a vapor pressure of greater than 0.1 torr at 50°C.
- examples of such compounds include (cyclohexadiene)Ru(CO) 3 and (cycloheptadiene)Ru(CO) 3 .
- the precursor composition is vaporized in the presence of, and reacted with, one or more oxidizing gases less aggressive (i.e., less oxidizing than) than O 2 , and optionally one or more inert gases to form a ruthenium metal film.
- the inert gas which can be a carrier gas, is typically selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, helium, argon, and mixtures thereof.

- the oxidizing gas is N 2 O, CO, CO 2 , or H 2 O, and more preferably it is N 2 O.
- oxidizing gases and optional inert gases can be used in the methods of the present invention to form films. According to the literature, Ru metal deposition typically requires
- a less aggressive oxidizer, particularly N 2 O has several advantages: the deposition rate is significantly higher than can be achieved with no oxidizer (a method that is disclosed in Applicant's Assignee's copending U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09/140,878 filed on August 27, 1998; within- wafer uniformity is surprisingly and significantly better than can be achieved with no oxidizer; adhesion is better than for a ruthenium metal film formed with no oxidizer; and for films of comparable thickness, the resistivity of the ruthenium metal film deposited using N 2 O is lower than for a film deposited using no oxidizer.
- the surface morphology, and morphology evolution with annealing, are comparable between the two processes.
- ruthenium metal films preferably, at least about 95 atom- % pure, based on X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Auger Spectroscopy, or other methods
- substrates such as a semiconductor wafer (e.g., silicon wafer, gallium arsenide wafer, etc.), glass plate, etc., and on a variety of surfaces of the substrates, whether it be directly on the substrate itself or on a layer of material deposited on the substrate as in a semiconductor substrate assembly.
- a variety of structures could also have the ruthenium metal films deposited thereon. For example, posts (studs) or trenches (vias) could have the ruthenium metal films of the present invention deposited on or in.
- Methods of the present invention are particularly useful for depositing highly pure ruthenium metal films on the surface of a semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly, such as a silicon wafer, having a high surface area topology, such as a surface (e.g., of an insulation layer) having high aspect ratio features, such as openings (i.e., gaps) or posts (i.e., studs), formed therein or thereon.
- a semiconductor substrate or substrate assembly such as a silicon wafer
- high aspect ratio features such as openings (i.e., gaps) or posts (i.e., studs), formed therein or thereon.
- Small high aspect ratio features typically have feature sizes or critical dimensions below about 1 micron (e.g., the diameter or width of an opening is less than about 1 micron), and more typically, about 0.3 micron to about 1 micron, and aspect ratios greater than about 1.
- Such aspect ratios are applicable to contact holes, vias, trenches, and a variety of other configurations.
- a trench having an opening of 1 micron and a depth of 3 microns has an aspect ratio of 3.
- the present invention can be used for forming diffusion barrier layers in small high aspect ratio features due to the use of CVD processes for forming conformal ruthenium oxide diffusion barrier layers over step structures.
- CVD processes for forming conformal ruthenium oxide diffusion barrier layers over step structures.
- greater than about 80% step coverage can be achieved. This refers to the ratio of the thickness of the layer deposited on the bottom surface to that on the top surface.
- the ruthenium metal films are particularly suitable for forming electrodes, such as in DRAM capacitors.
- the ruthenium metal film is deposited upon decomposition (typically, thermal decomposition) of one or more complexes of Formula I.
- Methods of the present invention can utilize various vaporization techniques, such as flash vaporization, bubbling, etc., optionally photo- or plasma-assisted (although photo- and plasma-assisted depositions do not typically provide good step coverage). Examples of suitable CVD processes are generally discussed in Applicants' Assignees' copending patent application entitled "Precursor Chemistries for Chemical Vapor Deposition of Ruthenium and Ruthenium Oxide," having Serial No. 09/141,236 (Micron 97-0675) and filed on August 27, 1998, as well as in U.S. Patent No.
- a typical chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system that can be used to perform a process of the present invention is shown in Figure 1.
- the system includes an enclosed chemical vapor deposition chamber 10, which may be a cold wall-type CVD reactor. Reduced pressure may be created in chamber 10 using turbo pump 12 and backing pump 14.
- the chamber pressure during deposition is about 10 "3 torr to about atmospheric pressure, and most preferably, it is about 0.1 torr to about 10 torr.
- the pressure is chosen such that it produces good step coverage and deposition rates.
- One or more substrates 16 are positioned in chamber 10.
- a constant nominal temperature is established for the substrate, preferably at a temperature of about 150°C to about 350°C.
- the most preferred substrate temperature is about 200°C to about 250°C.
- Substrate 16 may be heated, for example, by an electrical resistance heater 18 on which substrate 16 is mounted. Other known methods of heating the substrate may also be utilized.
- the temperature of the substrate may be significantly lower.
- the precursor composition 40 which contains one or more complexes of Formula I, is stored in liquid form (a neat liquid at room temperature or at an elevated temperature if solid at room temperature, or in an organic solvent) in vessel 42.
- the temperature of the liquid precursor composition is preferably about 20°C to about 50°C.
- the pressure within vessel 42 is typically similar to that within chamber 10.
- a source 44 of a suitable inert gas is pumped into vessel 42 and bubbled through the precursor composition 40 picking up the precursor composition and carrying it into chamber 10 through line 45 and gas distributor 46.
- Additional inert gas or reaction gas may be supplied from source 48 as needed to provide the desired concentration of precursor composition and regulate the uniformity of the deposition across the surface of substrate 16.
- valves 50-55 are opened and closed as required.
- the reaction and optional inert (e.g., carrier) gases can be preheated if desired.
- the precursor composition is carried into the CVD chamber 10 at a flow rate of the carrier gas of about 0 seem (standard cubic centimeters) to about 1000 seem, and preferably, at a flow rate of about 300 seem to about 800 seem.
- a carrier gas is not required, although it is often used.
- a reaction gas preferably, an oxidizing gas such as N 2 O
- the semiconductor substrate is exposed to the precursor composition at a pressure of about 0.1 torr to about 10 torr for a time of about 10 seconds to about 30 minutes depending on the desired thickness.
- the precursor composition will form an adsorbed layer on the surface ofthe substrate 16.
- the deposition rate is temperature dependent, increasing the temperature ofthe substrate will typically increase the rate of deposition. However, if step coverage is required, higher temperatures may become detrimental. Thus, a substrate temperature is chosen to balance these two properties. Typically, desirable deposition rates are about 50 Angstroms/minute to about 1000 Angstroms/minute.
- the carrier gas containing the precursor composition is terminated by closing valve 53.
- the constituents ofthe microdroplets or mist are vaporized by intimate mixture ofthe heated carrier gas.
- This two stage vaporization approach provides a reproducible delivery for precursor compositions (either in the form of a neat liquid or solid optionally dissolved in a liquid medium) and provides reasonable deposition rates, particularly in device applications with small dimensions.
- inert gases and/or reaction gases can be used in certain methods ofthe present invention. They can be introduced into the chemical vapor deposition chamber in a variety of manners, such as directly into the vaporization chamber or in combination with the precursor composition.
- the film can be further annealed to densify it if desired. This can be done in the CVD reaction chamber or not.
- the annealing process is carried out in an inert gas, as described above for the carrier gases.
- the annealing process is carried out in an oxidizing gas.
- the pressure of this post annealing process is about 0.5 torr to about 5 atmospheres.
- the substrate temperature of this post annealing process is about 300°C to about 1000°C, and more preferably, about 500°C to about 800°C.
- the pale yellow precursor, (C 6 H 8 )Ru(CO) 3 was added to a bubbler equipped with a dip tube and exit valve.
- the bubbler was connected to a CVD reactor.
- the bubbler was further connected to helium carrier gas introduced through a mass flow controller into the dip tube port ofthe bubbler.
- the bubbler was heated to about 26°C and all downstream connections to the chamber were heated to about 50°C.
- a silicon wafer having a layer of BPSG thereon was placed on a heated chuck inside the CVD reactor.
- Ruthenium deposition was carried out by heating the wafer to 210°C (as measured by a thermocouple in contact with the heated chuck) and establishing a chamber pressure of 5 torr using a helium carrier flow of 500 seem, an argon flow of 500 seem, and an additional flow of N 2 O (plumbed separately to the precursor delivery line) at 500 seem.
- the helium carrier flow was diverted through the precursor bubbler for 180 seconds yielding a film that was later measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry to be about 440 Angstroms thick. This corresponds to a deposition rate of about 147 Angstroms/minute.
- Thickness and “Rs mean” average of thickness and sheet resistance measurements, respectively, taken at thirteen (thickness) or nine (sheet resistance) sites across the wafer.
- Thickness NU and “Rs NU” standard deviation ofthe thirteen (thickness) or nine (sheet resistance) measurements (nonuniformity in the thickness and sheet resistance).
- the film was thin around the edge ofthe wafer, thick in the center.
- the degree of nonuniformity was significantly decreased for the process ofthe present invention (with N 2 O), however.
- the deposition rate for the N 2 O process was significantly higher than for the process with no oxidizer, as can be seen from the data in Table 1 as well as in Figure 2 which shows deposition time series for each process.
- the film resistivity was somewhat lower for the N 2 O process, as shown in Table 1 as well as Figure 3, which shows the thickness dependence of the resistivity for the two films. As-deposited, the films were only partially crystalline, so the resistivity was higher than would be expected for a crystalline film.
