Copper chemical vapor deposition (CVD) was Pa of (hexafluoroacety1acetonato)performed at 444-456 K in a cold-walled chamber using 4 x copper(1)-trimethylvinylsilane mixed 1:l (dv) with Hz carrier gas. In the absence of the Pd catalyst, only isolated copper particles deposited on hydrogenated or aminosilane-coated diamond. The Pd catalyst enhanced selectivity for Cu deposition by a factor of lo3 to lo4. Copper patterns with feature sizes to 1 pm were formed by lithographically patterning an aminosilanefilm on diamond using U V (193nm) radiation and a contact mask prior to catalyst deposition and copper CVD. The Pd catalyst also enhanced Cu deposition on aminosilane-coatedSi(100)and quartz substrates. Treating substrates with octadecylsilane or aminosilane self-assembled films without the bound Pd catalyst reduced copper deposition compared to Si(100) native oxide or hydrogenated diamond surfaces.

Introduction A process has been developed for achieving selective copper chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on diamond substrates using ligating aminosilane self-assembled films and a Pd-based catalyst. The process (Figure 1) involves five steps: (1) surface oxidation; (2) aminosilane film attachment; (3)film patterning; (4) Pd catalyst application; (5) copper CVD. Substrate oxidation generates reactive surface species, such a s hydroxyl groups, that allow covalent attachment of organosilane films. A ligating aminosilane film provides complexation sites for a n oligomeric Pd-based catalyst. In subsequent copper CVD, copper deposits readily from (hexafluoroacety1acetonato)copper(1)-trimethylvinylsilane (hfac-CUI-tmvs) on aminosilane-coated surfaces treated with the oligomeric Pd ~~~~~

complex. Copper does not deposit readily on hydrogenated or aminosilane-coated surfaces. To create a pattern of surface reactivity for selective copper CVD, the aminosilane film can be patterned with lithographic techniques prior to Pd catalyst application and copper CVD. Self-assembled organosilane films have been applied to a wide variety of substrates, including Si, SiOz, Al203, metals (Al, W, Pt), polymers (polyethylene, epoxy, polyesters), and diamond.l-' Organosilanes of the general form where R is a n organohctional group and (1)Ulman, A.An Introduction to Ultrathin Organic Films;Academic Press, Inc.: New York, 1991;p 237.

in Cu CVD on W-patterned Si02 substrates. The methylchlorosilanes apparently passivated reactive hydroxyl groupsto reduce unwanted Cunucleation on SiOz. Schoer e t al.8 used octadecyl mercaptan self-assembled monolayers to inhibit copper deposition on gold surfaces. The monolayers were patterned with a STM to obtain selective Cu CVD on gold. The process presented here is the first report to our knowledge that achieves selective Cu CVD by preferentially promoting deposition using self-assembled film technology, rather than passivating intrinsically active surfaces. Diamond provides a unique model surface for selective copper CVD studies. Undoped diamond has a wide band gap (5.5 eV) and thus is essentially in~u1ating.l~ Hydrogen-terminated diamond serves as a paradigm of hydrocarbon polymers or highly-ordered self-assembled alkane monolayer surfaces. This selective CVD process was also applied to silicon and quartz substrates and should provide selectively enhanced copper deposition on any dielectric or semiconducting substrate that can be modified with self-assembled films and can withstand the CVD processing conditions.

Experimental Methods In the current work, selective copper CVD was studied on undoped synthetic high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) single-crystaldiamonds (Sumitomo Electric Carbide)sawed and mechanically polished within 3" of the (100) face. Substrates were cleaned with sequential ultrasonic agitation in acetone, l,l,l-trichloroethane, and methanol, boiled sequentially in 3:l HC1/HN03 and 3:2H z S O m 0 3 , and then cleaned in 1:l:lHF/ HNOdacetic acid at 295 K. Diamond surfaces were then hydrogenated in a microwave plasma using 1300 Pa and 400 sccm Hz for at least 20 s at 1073 K. Long Hz-plasma treatments (e.g.,120 min)etched and smoothed the diamond surfaces, which gave sharper LEED patterns than the as-received surfaces.18 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ( X P S )showed that diamond surfaces contained approximately 1atom % 0 and 99 atom % C after Hz-plasma treatment. Hydrogenated diamond surfaces do not readily adsorb contaminants from the air and provide a well-characterized starting surface for further modification. To allow attachment of the aminofunctional silane films to diamond, hydrogenated surfaces were oxidized in a radio frequency plasma using 130 Pa and 250 sccm 0 2 for 2-4 min at 200 W. Plasma oxidation generated sufficient reactive surface moieties for attachment of the silane film^.^,^ The identity and distribution of reactive oxygen-containing species on these surfaces, however, is unknown and under investigation. Hydroxyl species,which provide reactive sites for organosilane film attachment on Si, SiOz, and related substrates,' have been identified on oxidized diamond surfa~es.l~-~l Amino-functional self-assembled films were deposited by immersing oxidized substrates in a 1%(v/v)aqueous solution of [(3-(2-aminoethyl)amino)propylltrimethoxysilane(EDA, from Huls America) with 1 mM acetic acid or a 1%(v/v) solution of m,~-(((aminoethyl)amino)methyl)phenethyltrimethoxysilane (PEDA,from Huls America)in 95:4(v/v)CH@H/&O with 1mM acetic acid at 295 K for 20 min. After coating, substrates were rinsed in deionized (DI) HzO or CH30H, dried in a stream of filtered Nz, and baked for 5 min at 493 K to cure the films.

Organosilanechemisorption on oxidized diamond surfacesis not well understood and is under investigation. The amine functionality in EDA and PEDA provides complexation sites for subsequent attachment of the Pd-based catalyst, and PEDA requires a lower photochemical dose for lithographic patterning with W radiation than EDA.4*5 The oligomeric PdCb2--based catalyst,5pNwhich catalyzes electroless deposition of Ni and Co, was deposited on the ligating amino-functional silane films from aqueous solution. The chemical and structural properties of the Pd-catalyzed surface that is active for Cu CVD are under investigation. This selective deposition process was also performedon native oxide surfacesof Si(100)(p-type, 1- 10Qcm)and Si02substrates, which were cleaned and hydroxylated with sequential ultrasonic agitation in toluene and methanol, immersed for 30 min in 1:l HCVCHJOH, rinsed with DI H20, immersed for 30 min in concentrated H2S04, rinsed with DI H20, and then immersed for 5 min in DI H2O at approximately 360 K prior to film attachment. The aminosilane films and the Pd-based catalyst were applied using the samemethodsas those used for diamond. To determine if alkylsilane films limited copper deposition on Si in a manner similar to how octadecylmercaptan films limited deposition on A u , ~an octadecylsilanefilm was applied to Si by immersing a cleaned Si(lO0)native oxide substrate in a 1%(v/v) solution of octadecyltrichlorosilane(OTS, from Huls America) in toluene for 7 min at 295 K under an argon atmosphere. Copper depositions were performed for 12-24 min at 444456 K and a total chamber pressure of 8 x Pa using (hexafluoroacetylacetonato)copper(I)-trimethylvinylsilane mixed 1:1(v/v)with H2carrier gas.

fromthe sample, the sample was heated in vacuum to the desired deposition temperature in about 10 min. Sample temperature was subsequently maintained in approximately 1sccm of flowing H2 and a chamber pressure of 4 x 10-3 Pa for 10 min. Then the precursor was metered into the H2 stream until the total chamber Pa and the doser was immediately pressure increased to 8 x rotated to a position 3 mm in front of and normal to the sample for copper deposition. After 12-24 min, the precursor flow was stopped and the sample temperature was maintained in flowing H2 for approximately 5 min. The sample was then cooled at 10 Wmin to 350 K and maintained at this temperature for 30 min to allow unreacted precursor to desorb. Then the H2 flow and sample heating were turned off.

Results and Discussion Copper CVD was performed for 12-24 min at 444-456 K on diamond, Si, and Si02 substrates that received various treatments prior to mounting in the CVD chamber. Scanning electron microsopy (SEM) images and composition analysis with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that copper deposited selectively on surfaces that were modified with the aminosilane films and the Pdbased catalyst. Deposition selectivity was qualitatively reproducible over the range of deposition conditions used in this preliminary study. Figure 2 shows SEM images of Ha-plasma etched, EDAcoated, and Pd-activated C(100)substrates after copper CVD for 24 min at 446 K. Only isolated Cu particles were detected on the hydrogenated and EDA-coated surfaces. The enhancement in copper deposition due to the Pd catalyst is dramatic; a continuous copper film formed on the Pd-catalyzed substrate. The selectivity enhancement due to the Pd catalyst was estimated by comparing copper particle coverages, which correlate to nucleation densities, on the hydrogenated, EDA-coated, and Pd-catalyst-treated diamond substrates. The Cu particle density on the smoothed and hydrogenated diamond (Figure 2a), which received a 120-min H2-plasma treatment prior to Cu CVD, was approximately 8 x lo6 particles/cm2. In a few isolated regions on this surface, Cu particles formed in distinct lines. The cause of this ordered deposition is under investigation and may be due to surface structures originating from crystal growth or surface polishing. In contrast, a hydrogenated diamond surface that received only a 20-sH2-plasma treatment had a particle density of 2 x lo7particles/cm2. Nucleation of copper particles apparently occurred at surface defects, which are removed by the H2-plasma treatment. Copper

to over 90 atom % and Cu concentrations decreased on these surfaces. The OTS-coated Si sample contained less Cu than the untreated Si surface. Hence, the OTS film apparently reduced copper deposition on Si. This blocking effect of the OTS film is qualitatively similar to the findings of Schoer et al.,s who found that octadecyl mercaptan monolayers excluded Cu deposition from a gold surface, although additional experiments are required to better quantify the effects of alkylsilane films in Cu CVD. Maximum selectivity in Cu CVD may be obtained by using 20 the aminosilane films and the Pd catalyst in combination with OTS or related films. Oo 20 40 60 ao 100 120 140 On the Si surface treated with EDA and the Pd catalyst, Si was not detected with XPS after Cu CVD or after 35 s of sputtering (Figure 312). Scanning electron microscopy images recorded prior to sputtering revealed a Cu film on this surface similar to the Cu film on diamond shown in Figure 2c. The Cu film was thick enough and continuous enough to obscure the Si substrate from detection by XPS. An estimate of the XPS detection depth for Si beneath a Cu film27showed that the Si substrate was covered with at least 6 nm of Cu prior to sputtering. In addition, copper was the dominant species detected with XPS throughout the first 200 s of sputtering of the Pd-catalyzed Si surface. A sputtering rate estimate of 0.1-0.2 nmfs for Cu using this instrument indicates that sputtering for 250 s removed approximately 25 to 50 nm of Cu. Thus, the sputtering profile (Figure 3c) is consistent with the Cu film thicknesses of 50-60 nm measured by profilometry (Tencor Alpha Step 250) for similar films deposited in 24 min a t 444-447 K. The high oxygen concentration (-10 atom %) in the subsurface region of the Pd-catalyzed Si surface may have been due to 0 incorporated in the Cu film during deposition or oxidation of the granular Cu film by exposure to air after Cu CVD. In addition, since Cu-Si mixtures oxidize readily,28,29 residual 0 2 or HzO in the XPS chamber may have reacted with the exposed sample surface during profiling and analysis.

Cu from diamond, Si, or Si02 surfaces. Film thickness estimates show that copper deposited at 2-3 n d m i n on Pd-activated surfaces at 444-447 K in our chamber. By analogy to other selective deposition results using hfacCUI-tmvs and similar CUIprecursors at 433-453 K and 1-70 Pa,9-14 we expect high-purity, high-conductivity copper films can be deposited on Pd-activated surfaces at rates of more than 100 n d m i n . In summary, a process has been developed for selective chemical vapor deposition of adherent, conductive Cu films on diamond, Si, and SiO2. An oligomeric Pd catalyst, attached to the substrate through a ligating aminosilane self-assembled film, activates the surface for copper deposition. Lithographic patterning of the aminosilane film allows selective deposition of Cu on the patterned, Pd-catalyzed surface. In contrast, octadecylsilane or aminosilane films without the Pd catalyst can reduce Cu deposition compared to H-terminated diamond or Si(100) native oxide surfaces. Since these surface modification and patterning techniques are broadly applicable, this process may be useful for enhancing copper deposition on other substrates that can be fhctionalized with selfassembled films and can withstand the CVD process conditions.
