Ruthenium metallization for advanced interconnects

We demonstrate 10 nm half-pitch (HP) Ruthenium interconnects filled by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The resistivity and the cross-sectional area of Ruthenium interconnects were determined via the Matthiessen's rule method. We find that the resistivity of Ru was rather independent of the cross-sectional area of the interconnect, increasing from 12 μΩcm for larger lines to 15-17 μΩcm for cross-sectional areas of 200-300 nm2. 10 nm HP Ru lines showed no electromigration failures at 5 MA/cm2 and 300°C during 1000 hours. Time-dependent dielectric breakdown measurements indicated that Ruthenium does not require a diffusion barrier on both dense and porous low-κ dielectrics.
