Abstract

A metal wiring of a semiconductor device and a forming method thereof are provided. A dielectric layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate including a lower metal wiring. A SOG (spin on glass) coating layer is formed on the dielectric layer to inhibit material from another layer from infiltrating into the dielectric layer.

Claims (27)

1. A method of forming a metal wiring of a semiconductor device, comprising:

providing a semiconductor substrate including a lower metal wiring;

forming a dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate and exposing the lower metal wiring through a via hole;

forming a spin on glass (SOG) coating layer on the dielectric layer including in the via hole;

forming a barrier metal layer on the SOG coating layer and the lower metal wiring; and

forming an upper metal wiring on the barrier metal layer, electrically connected to the lower metal wiring;

wherein the dielectric layer comprises a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer, and wherein the method further comprises:

forming a first etch stop layer below the first dielectric layer; and

forming a second etch stop layer on the first dielectric layer and below the second dielectric layer.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein forming the upper metal wiring comprises:

forming a seed layer on the barrier metal layer; and

performing an electroplating process.

3. The method according to claim 1 , comprising:

forming the first etch stop layer on the semiconductor substrate and the lower metal wiring;

forming the first dielectric layer on the first etch stop layer;

forming the second etch stop layer on the first dielectric layer;

forming the second dielectric layer on the second etch stop layer; and

forming the via hole and a trench above the via hole exposing the lower metal wiring.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein forming the via hole and the trench comprises:

forming the via hole by etching through the second dielectric layer, the second etch stop layer, the first dielectric layer, and the first etch stop layer; and

forming the trench by etching through the second dielectric layer and the second etch stop layer.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein forming the SOG coating layer comprises covering the sidewalls of the trench and via hole.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dielectric layer comprises a porous material.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dielectric layer comprises a material with a dielectric constant of about 1.1 to about 2.4.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SOG coating layer has low dielectric properties.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier metal layer comprises Ta, TaN, or TaSiN.

10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising removing a portion of the SOG coating layer to expose the lower metal wiring before forming the barrier metal layer.
