Rapid Heating Reflow of Phosphosilicate Glass Enhanced by As Ion Implantation

Abstract
Reflow of phosphosilicate glass (PSG) layers enhanced by implanting As ions at 150 keV to 1×1017/cm2 was studied by the rapid heating technique (950∼1150°C, 80 s) using a halogen lamp. The stress produced by the implantation is completely removed by a furnace preannealing at 600°C for 30 min prior to the rapid heating. The As ion implantation reduces the reflow temperature by 50∼100°C as compared with unimplanted PSG layers. No degradation is observed in electrical breakdown voltages and reliability tests of Al interconnections using a pressure cooker.
