AbstractParylene-n (pa-n) and benzocyclobutene (BCB) are novel candidate materials for interlevel dielectrics in future multilevel interconnects, due to their dielectric constant being much lower than that of silicon dioxide. We describe the fine line patterning of these materials by reactive ion etching in O2/CF4 plasmas. Examples of high aspect ratio trenches and dual damascene structures are presented involving processes with single and double hardmasks.

AbstractA trench-first dual damascene process has been developed for fat wires (1.26 μm pitch, 1.1 μm thickness) in a 0.18 μm CMOS process with copper/fluorosilicate glass (FSG) interconnect technology. The process window for the patterning of vias in such deep trenches depends on the trench depth and on the line width of the trench, with the worse case being an intermediate line width (lines that are 3X the via diameter). Compared to a single damascene process, the dual damascene process has comparable yield and reliability, with lower via resistance and lower cost.
