Abstract
The chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of selective aluminum (Al) CVD via plugs is examined for the first time and a fully planarized four-level interconnection system with all stacked via plugs is demonstrated. A sandwich of Ti/TiN/Ti barrier layers with an Al-CVD plug has proved to be one of the best via plug structures because of its low via resistance and extremely high reliability. Quarter-micron 120-kG gate array LSIs have been successfully fabricated using a 1.4 μ m, equal pitch, four-level interconnection.
