    摘要: The disclosure relates to a target and magnetron for a plasma sputter reactor (10). The target (12) has an annular vault (18) facing the wafer (20) to be sputter coated. Various types of magnetic means positioned around the vault create a magnetic field supporting a plasma extending over a large volume of the vault. Preferably, the magnetron (14) includes annular magnets (32) of opposed polarities disposed behind the two vault sidewalls (22, 24) and a small closed unbalanced magnetron of nested magnets (30) of opposed polarities scanned along the vault roof. An integrated copper via filling process with the inventive reactor or other reactor includes a first step of highly ionized sputter deposition of copper, which can optionally be used to remove the barrier layer at the bottom of the via, a second step of more neutral, lower-energy sputter deposition of copper to complete the seed layer, and a third step of electroplating copper into the hole to complete the metallization. The first two steps can be also used with barrier metals.

    摘要: A new method to prevent copper contamination of the intermetal dielectric layer during via or dual damascene etching by forming a capping layer over the first copper metallization is described. A first copper metallization is formed in a dielectric layer overlying a semiconductor substrate wherein a barrier metal layer is formed underlying the first copper metallization and overlying the dielectric layer. The first copper metallization is planarized, then etched to form a recess below the surface of the dielectric layer. A conductive capping layer is deposited overlying the first copper metallization within the recess and overlying the dielectric layer. The conductive capping layer is removed except over the first copper metallization within the recess using one of several methods. An intermetal dielectric layer is deposited overlying the dielectric layer and the conductive capping layer overlying the first copper metallization. A via or dual damascene opening is etched through the intermetal dielectric layer to the conductive capping layer wherein the conductive capping layer prevents copper contamination of the intermetal dielectric layer during etching. The via or dual damascene opening is filled with a metal layer to complete electrical connections in the fabrication of an integrated circuit device.

    摘要: An electrical connection structure is provided for protecting a barrier metal layer within a contact opening during the formation of an aluminum interconnection layer overlying a tungsten plugged connection structure. The deposited tungsten plug overlying the barrier metal layer is etched back sufficiently to create a slight recess at the opening. A thin layer of tungsten is then selectively deposited for filling the recess. This layer acts as an etch stop during aluminum interconnection layer formation and protects the underlying barrier metal layer.

    摘要: A semiconductor device comprising a wiring layer having a novel contact structure. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate (31, 51), an insulating layer having an opening (contact hole via a recess), a reactive spacer (37a) formed on the sidewall of the opening or a reactive layer (57a) formed on the sidewall and on the bottom surface of the opening and a conductive layer (39a, 59a) formed on the insulating layer which completely fills the opening. Since the reactive spacer or layer (37a, 57a) is formed on the sidewall of the opening, when the conductive layer material is deposited, large islands will form to become large grains of the sputtered Al film. Also, providing the reactive spacer or layer (37a, 57a) improves the reflow of the conductive layer (39, 59) during a heat-treating step for filling the opening at a high temperature below a melting temperature. This, complete filling of the opening with sputtered Al can be ensured. All the contact holes, being less than 1 µm in size and having an aspect ratio greater than 1.0, can be completely filled with Al, to thereby enhance the reliability of the wiring of a semiconductor device.
