Method of Making an Electrical Interconnection Device

The invention relates to electrical interconnection devices and to methods of making these electrical interconnection devices. More particularly, the invention relates to electrical interconnection devices comprising multiple polymeric and metallic layers which are useful in electronic applications.

The general trend in microelectronic circuits is toward systems of materials which deliver higher performance at a reduced cost. In integrated circuits, the interconnection structure is often the performance limiting and space consuming part of the overall circuit. Recently, multichip modules for interconnecting multiple chips in high density circuits have gained increased interest.

High density, thin film multichip module packaging is one of the more promising techniques among various multichip module packaging approaches because of its fine dimensional capability, use of lower dielectric constant polymers for dielectric interface layers, and ease of processing. The multichips are usually in the form of a multilayered structure, wherein conductive metal layers are separated by an organic dielectric interface layer material. It has been found that certain organic dielectrics offer the potential for achieving higher performance and increased density, and are therefore suitable for use in electronic applications.

The thermomechanical properties of dielectric materials are important for the integrity and reliability of the final circuit. High thermal stability and a reasonably low thermal expansion coefficient are desirable for circuit processing and performance. In multichip modules applications, for example, stability at about 300.degree. C. is considered sufficient for the fabrication process. Silicon-based integrated circuit technologies require somewhat higher processing temperatures, usually exceeding about 400.degree. C. The thermal stability of organic dielectric materials determines the maximum temperature to which the circuit may be exposed during processing and use.

Polyimides have been widely used as the dielectric material despite certain disadvantages. For example, they have a relatively high dielectric constant and high water absorption compared to other polymers. Therefore, for improved reliability and faster signal propagation, polymers with lower water absorption and lower dielectric constant are required. The cyclobutarenes, specifically benzocyclobutanes (BCBs), meet the requirements of lower water absorption and lower dielectric constant and present further advantages. For example, cyclobutarenes have a high degree of planarization and good thermal stability compared to other polymers used in the microelectronic industry. Therefore, cyclobutarenes are currently preferred for microelectronic applications.

The cyclobutarenes in the form of thin films are especially desirable dielectric materials due to their thermal and electrical properties. However, when polymers are formed as thin films on substrates, another critical problem arises: unacceptably low adhesion at the interface between the film and the next adjacent layer, usually a conductive metal layer.

To promote reliable adhesion of a cyclobutarene polymer to an inorganic substrate, one may use an adhesion promoter. In the case of a plastic material, the adhesion promoter may be mixed with the monomer or prepolymer as it is coated on a surface or may be used to coat the surface prior to coating with the cyclobutarene.

Additionally, successive layers of polymer may be efficiently adhered to one another by only partially curing the polymer layers until all layers have been applied. Then by more completely curing the polymer, the contacting layers form chemical bonds between themselves.

Use of adhesion promoters such as those discussed above or partially curing the polymer, does not apply when a conductive metal layer is to be placed over a polymer surface. It is, however, well-known that the adhesion between a polymeric cyclobutarene and metallic material is generally poor.

In view of this deficiency, numerous efforts toward enhancing the adhesion of a metal layer to a polymeric layer have been made. One technique includes depositing an adhesion enhancing metal interface layer (herein also referred to as "tie layer") and then depositing the desired metal layer. Such technique involves pretreating the polymeric surface by backsputtering, either with plasma or reactive ions, usually with high energy density. However, this treatment often disrupts the polymeric layer so severely that diffusion of the tie layer metal into the disrupted polymeric surface may occur, which, in turn, may reduce the performance of the dielectric layer to unacceptable levels. Also, the resulting tie layer often has a thickness between about 200 to about 1000 Angstroms (A), and can decrease the high frequency conductivity of the conductive metal layers.

Therefore, it would be most desirable to provide an electrical interconnection device which has a multilayered structure comprising conductive metal layers separated by a dielectric cyclobutarene polymer layer wherein the conductive metal layers adhere sufficiently to the dielectric layer to withstand processing conditions normally employed in making such devices.

In one aspect, the present invention is an electrical interconnection device having means to connect electronic circuitries on a supporting substrate, with at least two conductive metal layers each being separated by a dielectric cyclobutarene polymer layer, wherein at least one dielectric cyclobutarene polymer layer is chemically bonded to a conductive metal layer by means of a tie layer comprising a carbide-forming metal interface layer having a thickness between about 5 and about 200.ANG..

In another aspect, the present invention is a method of adhering a conductive metal layer onto a dielectric cyclobutarene polymer layer, which method comprises

a) low energy sputtering the dielectric cyclobutarene polymer surface at an energy density such that the polymer surface is roughened by no more than about 50.ANG.;

b) depositing a carbide-forming metal interface layer having a thickness between about 5 and about 200.ANG. onto the sputtered polymer surface:

c) depositing the conductive metal layer onto the carbide-forming metal interface layer.

Yet in another aspect, the present invention is an improved method of making an electrical interconnection device having means to connect electronic circuitries on a supporting substrate with at least two conductive metal layers separated by a dielectric cyclobutarene polymer layer, wherein the improvement comprises

a) low energy sputtering the dielectric cyclobutarene polymer surface at an energy density such that the polymer surface is roughened by no more than about 50.ANG.;

b) depositing a carbide-forming metal interface layer having a thickness between about 5 and about 200.ANG. onto the sputtered polymer surface;

c) depositing the conductive metal layer onto the carbide-forming metal interface layer.

It has been found that the inclusion of a tie layer having a thickness no greater than 200 A between a metallic layer and cyclobutarene layer enhances the adhesive strength thereof significantly without deleteriously affecting the electroconductivity of the device. Accordingly, the present invention provides a multilayered structure having increased adhesive strength between their layers useful as an electrical interconnection device for electronic applications.

The most preferred monomers for use in the present invention are tetraalkyl divinyl disiloxane bisbenzocyclobutane monomers with tetramethyl divinyl disiloxane bisbenzocyclobutane monomer, which is represented by the above formula VI, being especially preferred.

Tetralkyl divinyl disiloxane bisbenzocyclobutane monomers can be prepared by reacting an excess of a halobenzocyclobutane, preferably bromobenzocyclobutane, with the desired organo-polysiloxane bridging group. Typically, a molar ratio of the bromobenzocyclobutane to the organopolysiloxane bridging group of at least 1.5:1 is desired, preferably at least 2:1.

The cyclobutarene polymers are the preferred dielectric material for use in the present invention due to their excellent physical properties, such as, for example a dielectric constant of less than 3 and low moisture absorptivity of 0.24 percent, high temperature stability of 300.degree. C. and excellent planarization of greater than 90 percent.

The cyclobutarene polymers are used as the dielectric layer(s) in the electrical interconnection device of the present invention. The dielectric layer(s) in turn separates two conductive metal layers. The multilayered structure is deposited on a supporting substrate.

In a preferred embodiment, the electrical interconnection device of the present invention has a multilayered structure comprising more than two conductive metal layers and hence more than one dielectric cyclobutarene polymer layer.

The carbide-forming metals useful in the present invention include any metal which can react with an organic material having aliphatic hydrogens, after these hydrogens having been sputtered, to form a metal carbide. These metals typically include the transition metals. Preferred transition metals are those included in Groups IV-B, V-B, VI-B and VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements (CAS version, Condensed Chemical Dictionary, Eleventh edition, 1987), most preferably titanium, chromium, nickel, tungsten or alloys thereof, with titanium being especially preferred.

It is found that the carbide-forming metal after being deposited on the cyclobutarene surface, will be in the form of the pure metal, its carbide, its oxides or mixtures thereof.

The conductive metal useful in the present invention includes any conductive metal commonly employed in electrical/electronic applications, such as, for example, copper, aluminum, silver, gold, magnesium, or platinum. For economic reasons, the most preferred conductive metal employed herein is copper.

In the third aspect, the present invention is a method of making the electrical interconnection device having at least two conductive metal layers separated by a dielectric cyclobutarene polymer layer, wherein the chemical bonding of at least one conductive metal layer to the dielectric cyclobutarene polymer layer is promoted by means of low energy sputtering with a carbide-forming metal.

In addition to specific electrical properties, the supporting substrate, to which the multilayered structure of the present invention is adhered, has to meet numerous requirements with respect to the physical and mechanical properties. The supporting substrate should present a flat and highly polished surface to build upon. It should further be inert to process chemicals, gas atmospheres and temperatures used during the fabrication of an electrical interconnection device.

Exemplary supporting substrates which are useful in the present invention include, for example, silicon wafers, metals, and ceramics. For purposes of this invention, silicon wafer substrates are preferred. Further, for the purposes of this invention, the first layer on the supporting substrate is not critical, i.e., it may be a polymeric cyclobutarene or conductive metal layer.

The coating of a polymeric cyclobutarene layer on a conductive metal layer may be performed in several ways. One technique includes the use of an adhesion promoter, also referred to as coupling agent. The adhesion promoter may be mixed with the cyclobutarene monomer or prepolymer as it is coated on a surface. This technique is carried out following the teaching for depositing a polymeric layer onto a conductive metal layer in the generic method of fabricating a multilayered electrical interconnection device hereinafter described. Another technique includes the provision of a metal tie layer before depositing the polymeric layer. Upon using this technique, a metal tie layer is applied by physical vapor deposition before the polymeric layer is applied using an adhesion promoter.

Adhesion promoters with desirable properties include silane compounds and cyclobutarene compounds. Exemplary silane and cyclobutarene compounds useful as adhesion promoters in the present invention include triethoxyvinyl silane or a BCB of the formula: ##STR8##

Successive layers of polymer, if desired, may be efficiently adhered to one another by using a solution casting technique. In this technique, the polymer layers are only partially cured until all layers have been applied. Then, by more completely curing the polymer, the contacting layers form chemical bonds between themselves.

One may fabricate multilayered electrical interconnection devices using the following generic method.

An appropriate supporting substrate with an insulating layer is cleaned with an appropriate solvent, followed by exposure to an oxygen-containing plasma. A layer of conductive metal is applied by physical vapor deposition or electroplating, or a cyclobutarene layer is applied by solution casting. This layer is patterned using standard lithographic and wet etching techniques to form a ground/power plane and bond pad areas.

An example of a method for this patterning step is application and definition of a photoresist. The photoresist is exposed and developed. Then, the underlying metal is etched using conventional techniques. The photoresist is removed and an adhesion promoter coated onto substrate. This is followed by applying a BCB prepolymer solution by, for example, spin coating and drying thereof. The BCB prepolymer is then partially cured in nitrogen.

A metallic hard mask is applied onto the polymer surface. The hard mask is defined and etched using standard lithographic and wet etching techniques. The exposed polymer is etched in a plasma etcher. For the DVS-BCB, an oxygen/fluorine gas mixture may be used. The hard mask is removed and the surface is submitted to low energy sputtering.

Since the metallic hard mask is removed by etching, the metal used for the hard mask should not be the same conductive metal used for the conductive metal layer. The use of different conductive metals permits the use of a selective etching acid to prevent the conductive metal layer from being etched off together with the hard mask. A tie layer of carbide-forming metal is then applied by physical vapor deposition, followed by application by physical vapor deposition or electroplating of conductive metal.

Low energy sputtering consists of irradiating a surface with low energy ion/neutral beams to activate the surface by sputtering off the aliphatic hydrogens present on the polymer surface. Preferably, low energy sputtering is conducted at a power density of less than about 2.0 watts/in.sup.2 and at an energy density of less than about 200 Joules/in.sup.2. This surface is not altered to a depth of more than about 50.ANG.. The ion/neutral beams are generated from noble gas sources. Simultaneously with the ion/neutral beams or after applying the ion/neutral beams, a first metallization source comprising carbide-forming metal vapor is deposited onto the polymer surface. Then, a second metallization beam comprising conductive metal vapors is deposited onto the tie layer.

The low energy sputtering/physical vapor deposition step is then followed by patterning the conductive metal layer using standard lithographic and/or wet etching techniques as set out hereinbefore. This procedure is repeated until the desired structure is completed. The whole multichip module is then exposed to conditions to fully cure the successive polymer layers.

It has been found that the final heat treatment of the electrical interconnection device may cause diffusion of the conductive metal into the tie layer forming alloys or oxides of both metals. However, this diffusion is in such a small amount that it is considered insignificant.

After completion of the electrical interconnection device, a plurality of circuitries may be connected thereon to obtain the multichip module.

More details for constructing a multichip module may be found in "Processing Guide for Multilayer Interconnect Fabrication", The Dow Chemical Company, 1991, and "Multilayer Interconnection Structures using Second Generation Polymers derived from Bisbenzocyclobutane", P. H. Townsend et al., 1989.

Upon using the low energy sputtering/physical vapor deposition procedure, the planarization of the cyclobutarene layers is not altered dramatically. For example, the cyclobutarene surfaces are only roughened in less than 50.ANG., preferably less than 20.ANG., more preferably less than 10.ANG., and most preferably not more than 3.ANG.. Accordingly, as the treated cyclobutarene layer retains its continuous and planar configuration, the tie layer can be as thin as 10.ANG..

The electrical interconnection device of the present invention is useful to construct multichip modules, circuit boards, integrated circuits and solid state electronic devices.

The following examples are given to illustrate the invention and should not be interpreted as limiting it in any way. Unless stated otherwise, all parts and percentages are given by weight.

A benzocyclobutane-divinyl tetramethyl disiloxane (BCB-DVS) film is coated on a silicon wafer with an approximately 1 .mu.m thick oxidized (SiO.sub.2) surface. The wafer is cleaned with deionized water on a spin coater at 1,000-2,000 rpm, dried, and then subjected to RF oxygen plasma cleaning for 15 minutes (min). The resulting wafer is treated with 3 cycles of deionized water rinse/dump to remove the oxide particles, which may be present on the surface after the plasma cleaning. The wafer is then put through the spinning rinse/dry procedure as described previously.

The cleaned wafer is spin-coated with 0.5 percent aqueous solution of a coupling agent, vinyl triethoxy silane in acetic acid, at a speed of 5000 rpm. A 55 percent BCB-DVS prepolymer solution in mesitylene is applied to the cleaned wafer surface during spinning, to yield an approximate 5 .mu.m thick film. The coated wafer is then treated at 250.degree. C. for 45 min in N.sub.2 atmosphere to crosslink the BCB-DVS prepolymer to its final form. The BCB-DVS wafer is then cut into 1".times.1" (2.54 cm.times.2.54 cm) squares using a diamond scribe. Each of the BCB-DVS samples is cleaned with CH.sub.3 OH before it is introduced into a ion beam assisted titanium and copper deposition chamber. The deposition chamber is operated at a background pressure of 5.times.10.sup.-7 torr and the sputtering conditions are power density of 0.6 Watts/in.sup.2 and energy density of 1.2-90 Joules/in.sup.2.

Each polymer surface is bombarded for a different time period with a 1 keV 98 .mu.A/cm.sup.2 Ar.sup.+ /Ar beam generated from a Kaufman ion gun. The chamber pressure increases to 1.times.10.sup.-4 torr when the ion gun is being operated. This treatment is designed to sputter the surface polymeric hydrogens away for generation of the active carbon sites for the subsequent bonding to the tie layer. Immediately after the sputtering, a layer of titanium (Ti), evaporated from an electron gun (E-gun) evaporator, is deposited on the sputtered surface at a rate of 10 .ANG./sec and then a layer of copper (Cu), evaporated from another E-gun evaporator, is deposited on the Ti surface at a rate of 16 .ANG./sec.

The adhesion of the copper layer was measured by using a Sebastian Pulling Test, using a Sebastian 5/A Material Tester. The sputtering time period, tie layer and conductive metal layer thicknesses, as well as the adhesion data are given in Table 1 below.

The procedure of Example 1 is repeated using the same materials and conditions, except that the Ar.sup.+ /Ar beam is on while the tie layer metal and/or conductive metal is vapor deposited.

Each polymer surface is bombarded for a different time period with a 1 keV 98 .mu.A/cm.sup.2 Ar.sup.+ /Ar beam generated from a Kaufman ion gun. The chamber pressure increased to 1.times.10.sup.-4 torr from 5.times.10.sup.-7 torr when the ion gun was being operated. Immediately after the sputtering, a layer of Ti is vapor deposited on the sputtered surfaces at a rate of 10 .ANG./sec. During this deposition, the surfaces are also bombarded with a 1 keV Ar.sup.+ /Ar beam with the atom arrival ratio, R=0.10, where ##EQU1## for promotion of he interfacial interactions which may enhance the adhesion. A layer of Cu is then vapor deposited on the Ti surface at a rate of 16 .ANG./sec and R=0.043.

The sputtering time periods, tie layer and conductive metal layer thicknesses, as well as the adhesion data are given in Table I below.

The procedure of Example 1 or 8 is repeated using the same materials and conditions, except that the conductive metal is vapor deposited directly on the BCB surface without using an interface tie layer. The sputtering time period, conductive metal layer thickness as well as the adhesion data are given in Table I below.

As readily apparent from Table I, the electrical interconnection device of the present invention presents excellent adhesion of the copper layer to the polymeric dielectric layer. Further, it should be noted that the thin tie layer, i.e. 10 or 50.ANG. .ANG., can be deposited on the polymer surface since the sputtering treatment of this polymer surface only disrupted the polymer surface to a depth of less than 3.ANG..

A set of multilayered structures is prepared following the general procedure of Example 1. The composition of each sample, thickness of each layer as well as adhesion data are shown in Table II below.

As readily apparent from Table 11, the electrical interconnection device of the present invention presents excellent adhesion of the layers throughout the structure.

Onto this multilayered electrical interconnection device, one may now connect a plurality of electronic circuitries to obtain a finished multichip module. Due to the use of BCB as the dielectric layers and present method of adhering a conductive metal thereto, the finished multichip module is found to present no loss of high frequency response.
