Abstract
Electroless deposition(ELD) was applied to fabricate Cu interconnections on a TaN diffusion barrier with Pd seed layer. The Pd seed layer was obtained by self-assembled monolayer method(SAM) with PDDA and PSS as surfactants. We were able to obtain about 10nm Pd nano particles as seeds for electroless Cu deposition and the density of Pd seeds was much higher than that of Pd seeds fabricated by conventional Pd sensitization-activation method. Also we were able to obtain finer Cu interconnections by ELD. Therefore we concluded that the Pd seed layer by SAM was able to be applied to form Cu interconnection by ELD for under 30nm feature.
