Abstract

A key challenge for 0.18 μm technology is the interconnect RC delay, which is the limiting factor for device performance. This delay can be reduced by the use of a low-k dielectric and copper. Some of the difficulties of integrating these interconnects are discussed, and a new strategy for post dielectric etch cleaning is presented.
