Abstract
An organic copper diffusion barrier layer having low dielectric constant is provided. The organic copper diffusion barrier layer can be applied to a dual damascene structure, which is formed between a copper wiring layer and an organic dielectric layer, to defend copper diffusion from the copper wiring layer into the organic dielectric layer. The organic copper diffusion barrier layer includes a benzocyclo polymer, which it has a benzene ring functional group that can catch copper and prevent copper diffusing into the organic dielectric layer. The problem of thermal diffusion and electro-migration can be avoided.
