Methods and solutions for forming self assembled organic monolayers that are covalently bound to metal interfaces are presented along with a device containing a self assembled organic monolayer. Embodiments of the present invention utilize self assembled thiolate monolayers to prevent the electromigration and surface diffusion of copper atoms while minimizing the resistance of the interconnect lines. Self assembled thiolate monolayers are used to cap the copper interconnect lines and chemically hold the copper atoms at the top of the lines in place, thus preventing surface diffusion. The use of self assembled thiolate monolayers minimizes the resistance of copper interconnect lines because only a single monolayer of approximately 10 Å and 20 Å in thickness is used.

Copper seed layers are formed on diffusion barrier layers (e.g., on Ta, and TaNx layers) without significant agglomeration of copper, with the use of an engineered barrier layer / seed layer interface. The engineered interface includes an adhesion layer, in which copper atoms are physically trapped and are prevented from migrating and agglomerating. The adhesion layer can include between about 20-80% atomic of copper. The copper atoms of the adhesion layer are exposed during deposition of a copper seed layer and serve as the nucleation sites for the deposited copper. Thin, continuous, and conformal seed layers can be deposited on top of the adhesion layer. The trapping of copper within the adhesion layer is achieved by intermixing diffusion barrier and seed layer materials using PVD and / or ALD.

Methods of forming copper interconnects free from via-to-via leakage currents and having low resistances are disclosed. In a first aspect, a barrier layer is deposited on the first metal layer prior to copper oxide sputter-etching to prevent copper atoms from reaching the interlayer dielectric and forming via-to-via leakage current paths therein. In a second aspect, a capping dielectric barrier layer is deposited over the first metal layer prior to sputter etching. During sputter-etching, the capping dielectric barrier layer redistributes on the sidewalls of the interlayer dielectric, preventing sputter-etched copper atoms from reaching the interlayer dielectric and forming via-to-via leakage paths therein. In a third aspect, both a capping dielectric barrier layer and a barrier layer are deposited over the first metal layer prior to sputter-etching to prevent copper atoms produced during sputter-etching from reaching the interlayer dielectric and forming via-to-via leakage paths therein.

A semiconductor device in which the resistance of a copper wiring to electromigration is increased. The copper wiring is formed so that copper grains will be comparatively large in a central portion of the copper wiring and so that copper grains will be comparatively small in an upper portion and a lower portion of the metal wiring. The copper wiring having this structure is formed by a damascene method. This structure can be formed by controlling electric current density at electroplating time. With the copper wiring having this structure, it is easier for an electric current to run through the central portion than to run through the upper portion. As a result, the diffusion of copper atoms in the upper portion is suppressed and therefore the diffusion of copper atoms from an interface between the copper wiring and a cap film is suppressed.
