Abstract

This letter reports superior properties of Ru- and RuNX-bearing Cu films deposited by cosputtering on barrierless Si substrates. After annealing at temperatures up to 680°C for 1h, low resistivity of ∼3μΩcm and minimal leakage currents as well as no detectable reaction at the Cu∕Si interface have confirmed the excellent thermal stability of these Cu(Ru) and Cu(RuNX) films. Furthermore, the highly stable Cu(RuNX) film exhibits an outstanding adhesion property, proving to be a very promising candidate for the barrierless Cu metallization.
