ABSTRACTAn in situ study of barrier layers using spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and Time-of-Flight (ToF) mass spectroscopy of recoiled ions (MSRI) is presented. First the formation of copper silicides has been observed by real-time SE and in situ MSRI in annealed Cu/Si samples. Second TaSiN films as barrier layers for copper interconnects were investigated. Failure of the TaSiN layers in Cu/TaSiN/Si samples was detected by real-time SE during annealing and confirmed by in situ MSRI. The effect of nitrogen concentration on TaSiN film performance as a barrier was also examined. The stability of both TiN and TaSiN films as barriers for electrodes for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices has been studied. It is shown that a combination of in situ SE and MSRI can be used to monitor the evolution of barrier layers and detect the failure of barriers in real-time.

AbstractThe formation and growth of Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn at the interface of Sn-Pb solder/copper substrate are factors which affect the solderability and reliability of electronic solder joints. The addition of particles such as Ni to eutectic Sn-Pb solder drastically affects the activation energies of formation for both intermetallics. This study was performed to understand the mechanisms of intermetallic formation and the effects of Ni on intermetallic growth. Cu/Sn and Cu/Sn/Ni thin films were deposited by evaporation and observed in the TEM in real time using a hot stage. The diffusion of Sn through Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn followed by reaction with Cu must occur for intermetallic formation and growth to take place. Ni is an effective diffusion barrier which prevents Sn from diffusing into Cu.
