Cu(hfac)TMVS precursor with water additive to increase the condcuctivity of Cu

摘要

A method of blending water vapor with volatile Cu(hfac)TMVS (copper hexafluoroacetylacetonate trimethylvinylsilane) is provided which improves the deposition rate of Cu, without degrading the resistivity of the Cu deposited upon an integrated circuit surface. The method uses a relatively small amount of water vapor, approximately 0.3 to 3% of the total pressure of the system which chemical vapor deposition (CVD) Cu is applied. The method specifies the flow rates of the liquid precursor, carrier gas, and liquid water. The method also specifies the pressures of the vaporized precursor, vaporized precursor blend including carrier gas and water vapor. In addition, the temperatures of the vaporizers, chamber walls, and IC surfaces are disclosed. A Cu precursor blend is also provided comprising vaporized Cu(hfac)TMVS and water vapor. The ratio of water vapor pressure to vaporized precursor is approximately 0.5 to 5%. Further, an IC surface covered with Cu applier with a Cu precursor blend including vaporized Cu(hfac)TMVS and water vapor, with the above mentioned ratio of water vapor pressure to volatile Cu(hfac)TMVS pressure, is provided.
