摘要：
Leakage mechanism of a copper single damascene structure with a porous organic low-k polymer as the inter-metal dielectric between 1 and 4 mV/cm is investigated. Constant-rate voltage ramp is the main tool for investigation. Experiments were conducted between 25 and 250 degreesC. Passivated damascene structures with fully dense and porous copper diffusion barriers were investigated. If a fully dense barrier is used, the leakage mechanism is believed to be Frenkel-Poole emission. For a porous diffusion barrier above 175 degreesC, this mechanism is altered by copper drift diffusion. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
