Glue layer for adhesion improvement between conductive line and etch stop layer in an integrated circuit chip
摘要:
In an integrated circuit chip, a conductive line is formed in a first IMD layer. The conductive line is formed of a conductive line material that tends to form an oxide when exposed to an oxygen-containing substance. A glue layer is formed on the conductive line. The glue layer is formed of a non-oxygen-containing material capable of providing an oxygen barrier over the conductive line. The glue layer has a hardness greater than that of the conductive line. The glue layer preferably has a thickness between about 15 angstroms and about 75 angstroms. The etch stop layer is formed on the glue layer. The etch stop layer has a hardness greater than that of the glue layer. A second IMD layer is formed on the etch stop layer. The etch stop layer and/or the second IMD layer may be formed with a material comprising oxygen without oxidizing the conductive line.
