摘要: The profile of a via can be controlled by forming a profile control liner within each via opening that is formed into a dielectric material prior to forming a line opening within the dielectric material. The presence of the profile control liner within each via opening during the formation of the line opening prevents rounding of the corners of a dielectric material portion that is present beneath the line opening and adjacent the via opening.

摘要: Methods for via gouging and a related semiconductor structure are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a via opening in a dielectric material, the via opening aligned with a conductor; forming a protective coating over the dielectric material and in the via opening; performing via gouging; and removing the protective coating over horizontal surfaces of the dielectric material. A semiconductor structure may include a via having an interface with a conductor, the interface including a three-dimensionally shaped region extending into and past a surface of the conductor, wherein an outer edge of the three-dimensionally shaped region is distanced from an outermost surface of the via.

摘要: A method is provided that includes first etching a substrate according to a first mask. The first etching forms a first etch feature in the substrate to a first depth. The first etching also forms a sliver opening in the substrate. The sliver opening may then be filled with a fill material. A second mask may be formed by removing a portion of the first mask. The substrate exposed by the second mask may be etched with a second etch, in which the second etching is selective to the fill material. The second etching extends the first etch feature to a second depth that is greater than the first depth, and the second etch forms a second etch feature. The first etch feature and the second etch feature may then be filled with a conductive metal.

摘要: A stack of a first metal line and a first dielectric cap material portion is formed within a line trench of first dielectric material layer. A second dielectric material layer is formed thereafter. A line trench extending between the top surface and the bottom surface of the second dielectric material layer is patterned. A photoresist layer is applied over the second dielectric material layer and patterned with a via pattern. An underlying portion of the first dielectric cap material is removed by an etch selective to the dielectric materials of the first and second dielectric material layer to form a via cavity that is laterally confined along the widthwise direction of the line trench and along the widthwise direction of the first metal line. A dual damascene line and via structure is formed, which includes a via structure that is laterally confined along two independent horizontal directions.

摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of forming borderless contact for transistor. The method may include forming a gate of a transistor, on top of a substrate, and spacers adjacent to sidewalls of the gate; forming a sacrificial layer surrounding the gate; causing the sacrificial layer to expand in height to become higher than the gate, the expanded sacrificial layer covering at most a portion of a top surface of the spacers and thereby leaving an opening on top of the gate surrounded by the spacers; filling the opening with a dielectric cap layer; replacing the expanded sacrificial layer with a dielectric layer; and forming a conductive stud contacting source/drain of the transistor, the conductive stud being isolated from the gate by the dielectric cap layer.
