Abstract

Cu+ ions drift diffusion in formal oxide film and SiOCH film for interlayer dielectric is evaluated. The diffusion is investigated by measuring shift in the flatband voltage of capacitance/voltage measurements on Cu gate capacitors after bias temperature stressing. At a field of 0.2MV/cm and temperature $200^{\circ}C,\;300^{\circ}C,\;400^{\circ}C,\;500^{\circ}C$ for 10min, 30min, 60min. The Cu+ ions drift rate of $SiOCH(k=2.85{\pm}0.03)$ film is considerable lower than termal oxide. As a result of the experiment, SiOCH film is higher than Thermal oxide film for Cu+ drift diffusion resistance. The important conclusion is that SiOCH film will solve a causing reliability problems aganist Cu+ drift diffuion in dielectric materials.
