The present application claims priority to Korean patent application number 10-2006-0137204 filed on Dec. 28, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a method for forming a multi-layer metal wiring of a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a multi-layer metal wiring of a semiconductor device including a diffusion barrier layer for preventing mutual metal diffusion between upper and lower metal wirings mutually contacted and a method for forming the same.

For highly integrated semiconductor devices, high speed device components are required such that the memory cells are formed in a stack structure. Further, the metal wirings carrying electrical signals to each cell are also formed in a multi-layer structure. The metal wiring laid out in a multi-layer structure provides advantageous design flexibility and allows more leeway in setting the margins for the metal wiring resistance, the current capacity, etc.

Generally, aluminum (Al) has been the choice of metal wiring for its superior electric conductivity and the ease of being applied in a fabrication process. However, copper (Cu) is preferred over Al in products operating in faster speeds and requiring lower operational voltages due to high integration of semiconductor devices, because Cu has relatively lower resistance than Al.

However, it is not preferable to apply only Cu as the material for all metal wirings formed in a multi-layer structure due to increased manufacturing expenses and certain unsuitable characteristics that could be present in the highly integrated device components. Along these lines, Cu were used as the metal wiring material in a multi-layer structure when high speed is important, and Al were used when the speed is relatively less important.

Meanwhile, when Cu is used as the lower metal wiring and Al is used as the upper metal wiring in a multi-layer metal wiring structure, a diffusion barrier layer between the lower and upper metal wirings is necessary to prevent metal diffusion between the metal wirings.

Generally, in a multi-layer metal wiring structure having a lower wiring of Cu and an upper wiring of Al, a Ti layer and/or a TiN layer (i.e., either individually or as a stacked layer) were used as the diffusion barrier layer between the lower and upper metal wirings. However, the diffusion barrier layer made of stacked Ti and TiN layers cannot secure the thickness needed to sufficiently suppress the metal diffusion between the metal wirings.

It is not impossible to increase the thickness of the Ti and/or TiN layers to suppress the metal diffusion between the lower Cu wiring and the upper Al wiring; however, this only leads to reduction of the sectional area of the Al upper wiring, which is formed in a damascene pattern, and thereby causes the undesirable increase of the metal wiring resistance.

Also, when the thickness of the stacked Ti and TiN layers is increased, filling Al in a via hole in the damascene pattern to form a upper metal wiring would become more difficult such that voids may be generated in the via hole leading to the significantly increased metal wiring resistance.

Therefore, increasing the thickness of the stacked Ti and TiN layers for purposes of suppressing the metal diffusion between the lower Cu wiring and the upper Al wiring is impractical for use.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS

The present invention forms a diffusion barrier layer of a W-based layer. The W-based diffusion barrier layer is inserted in the contact interface between a lower Cu wiring and an upper Al wiring. Preferably, the W-based layer is formed of a WN layer, a stacked layer of a W layer and the WN layer, a WSiNy layer, or a stacked layer of the WSix layer and a WSiNy layer.

The W-based layer has very excellent diffusion barrier characteristics as compared to a Ti layer and TiN layer, which are conventional diffusion barrier layers. The W-based diffusion barrier layer has excellent capability to suppress the metal diffusion between the lower Cu wiring and the upper Al wiring. Therefore, when forming a multi-layer metal wiring to which the lower Cu wiring and the upper Al wiring is formed in an ultra high integration device, the present invention provides an excellent diffusion barrier layer capable of suppressing the metal diffusion between the upper and lower metal wirings as well as suppressing the generation of metal compounds with high resistance due to the metal diffusion mutually between the metal wirings.

Therefore, the present invention can suppress the generation of the metal compounds with high resistance due to the metal diffusion between the metal wirings, making it possible to improve the device performance characteristics and reliability. Also, the present invention provides a diffusion barrier layer of thinner thickness than the conventional barrier layer of the stacked Ti and TiN layers, thereby reducing the contact resistance.

Hereinafter, the method for forming a multi-layer metal wiring of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1A through 1E.

Referring to FIG. 1A, a first interlayer insulating layer 110 is formed over the a semiconductor substrate 100 on which an underlayer (not shown) is formed and then etched to form a trench 120 defining a region for forming a lower metal wiring 140. A first diffusion barrier layer 130 is formed over the first interlayer insulating layer 110 including the trench 120. The first diffusion barrier layer 130 is formed of a stacked layer of a Ta layer 130a and a TaN layer 130b.

A Cu seed layer is deposited over the first diffusion barrier layer 130. The Cu layer is deposited over the Cu seed layer with an electroplating method so that the trench 120 is filled. The lower Cu wiring 140 is formed in the trench 120 by etching the Cu layer and the first diffusion barrier layer 130 so that the first interlayer insulating layer 110 outside the trench 120 is exposed.

Referring to FIG. 1B, a second interlayer insulating layer 150 is formed over the first interlayer insulating layer 120 including the lower Cu wiring 140, and then the second interlayer insulating layer 150 is etched to form a contact hole 160 exposing the lower Cu wiring 140.

The second diffusion barrier layer 170 is formed of a tungsten-based (or W-based) layer. For example, the W-based layer would include a WN layer or a stacked layer of W and WN layers or a WSiNy layer or a stacked layer of WSix and WSiNy layers or the like.

Referring to FIG. 1D, an Al nucleation growth layer 181 is formed over the W-based second diffusion barrier layer 170 by a deposition method such as a chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The Al nucleation growth layer 181 is formed to have a thickness of 50 to 500 Å.

A wiring 182 of Al layer is formed on the Al nucleation growth layer 181 such that the contact hole 160 is filled. For example, the Al layer for wiring 182 is formed by depositing Al at a temperature in the range of 200 to 400° C. by a deposition method such as a physical vapor deposition (PVD) and by performing a heat treatment on the Al layer at a temperature in the range of 400 to 500° C.
