AbstractAdhesion strength in sputter-deposited Cu thin films on various types of barrier layers was investigated by scratch test. The barrier layers were Ta1-xNx with varied nitrogen concentration of 0, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.5. Microstructure observation by TEM indicated that each layer consists of mixed phases of β;-Ta, bcc-TaN0.1, hexagonal-TaN, and fcc-TaN, depending on the nitrogen concentration. A sulfur- containing amorphous phase was also present discontinuously at the Cu/barrier interfaces in all samples. Scratch test showed that delamination occurred at the Cu/barrier interface and that the overall adhesion strength increased with increasing the nitrogen concentration. A good correlation was found between the measured adhesion strength and the composing phases in the barrier layer.

Abstract Failures induced in the silicon substrate by process marginalities or process mistakes need continuous attention in new as well as established technologies. Several case studies showing implant related defects and dislocations in silicon will be discussed. Depending on the electrical characteristics of the failure the localization method has to be chosen. The emphasis of the discussion will be on the importance of the right choice for further physical de-processing to reveal the defect. This paper focuses on the localization method, the de- processing technique and the use of Wright etch for subsequent TEM preparation.

Abstract In wafer fabrication, a silicon nitride (Si3N4) layer is widely used as passivation layer. To qualify the passivation layers, traditionally chemical recipe PAE (H3PO4+ HNO3) is used to conduct passivation pinhole test. However, it is very challenging for us to identify any pinholes in the Si3N4 layer with different layers underneath. For example, in this study, the wafer surface is Si3N4 layer and the underneath layer is silicon substrate. The traditional receipt of PAE cannot be used for passivation qualification. In this paper, we will report a new recipe using KOH solution to identify the pinhole in the Si3N4 passivation layer.
