Passivation of a Conductive System of Integrated Circuits with a Layer of Aluminum Nitride by V. V. Emelyanov

“…Passivation of the film conductive system of integrated circuits makes it more reliable by increasing the resistance to electromigration. The problem of manufacturing a passivating layer on the formed current-conducting system of an integrated circuit, obtained in a single technological cycle, including isotropic plasma-chemical etching of an aluminum alloy layer to a depth of 8–12 nm and isotropic plasma-chemical nitriding of the surface of the obtained current-carrying tracks until the aluminum nitride thickness from 10 to 50 nm, is considered. …”
