    摘要: A method of forming an integrated circuit structure includes providing a substrate; forming a metal feature over the substrate; forming a dielectric layer over the metal feature; and forming an opening in the dielectric layer. At least a portion of the metal feature is exposed through the opening. An oxide layer is accordingly formed on an exposed portion of the metal feature. The method further includes, in a production tool having a vacuum environment, performing an oxide-removal process to remove the oxide layer. Between the step of forming the opening and the oxide-removal process, no additional oxide-removal process is performed to the metal feature outside the production tool. The method further includes, in the production tool, forming a diffusion barrier layer in the opening, and forming a seed layer on the diffusion barrier layer.

    摘要: A method for producing a semiconductor-device having an electrical interconnect. The method produces having an improved barrier layer between the interconnect conductor and the dielectric material in which the interconnect recess is formed. A dielectric layer is formed on top of a wafer substrate having at least one contact region. An interconnect for servicing the contact region is fabricated by forming an interconnect recess and then depositing a primary barrier layer of tantalum nitride and subjecting it to a re-sputtering operation. A film layer of tantalum is then deposited and re-sputtered. Following this operation, a seed layer is formed, and then a conductor is used to fill the interconnect recess. Planerizing the surface of the wafer so that further fabrication may be performed may complete the process.
