Semiconductor processing method of forming electrically conductive
interconnect lines and integrated circuitry
Abstract:
A semiconductor processing method of forming an electrically conductive interconnect line having an electrical conductive covering predominately coextensive therewith, includes, a) providing an conductive interconnect line over a first electrically insulating material, the line having a top and sidewalls; b) selectively depositing a second electrically insulating material layer over the interconnect line and the first insulating material in a manner which deposits a greater thickness of the second insulating material atop the interconnect line than a thickness of the second insulating material over the first insulating material; c) anisotropically etching the second insulating material layer inwardly to at least the first insulating material yet leaving second insulating material over the top and the sidewalls of the interconnect line; and d) providing an electrically conductive layer over the anisotropically etched second insulating layer to form a conductive layer which is predominately coextensive with the interconnect line over the etched second insulating material. The method further comprises provision of a base electrically conductive layer beneath the first insulating material, with the anisotropically etching step etching through the first insulating material to the base conductive layer, and the conductive layer being provided in electrical connection with the base conductive layer. Integrated circuitry produced by the method and other methods is also disclosed.
