    摘要: Gap filling between features which are closely spaced is significantly improved by initially depositing a thin conformal layer followed by depositing a layer of gap filling dielectric material. Embodiments include depositing a thin conformal layer of silicon nitride or silicon oxide, as by atomic layer deposition or pulsed layer deposition, into the gap between adjacent gate electrode structures such that it flows into undercut regions of dielectric spacers on side surfaces of the gate electrode structures, and then depositing a layer of BPSG or P-HDP oxide on the thin conformal layer into the gap. Embodiments further include depositing the layers at a temperature less than 430° C., as by depositing a P-HDP oxide after depositing the conformal liner when the gate electrode structures include a layer of nickel silicide.

    摘要: During semiconductor fabrication homogeneous gap-filling is achieved by depositing a thin dielectric layer into the gap, post deposition curing, and then repeating deposition and post deposition curing until gap-filling is completed. Embodiments include depositing a layer of low deposition temperature gap-fill dielectric into a high aspect ratio opening, such as a shallow trench or a gap between closely spaced apart gate electrode structures, as at a thickness of about 10 Å to about 500 Å, curing after deposition, as by UV radiation or by heating at a temperature of about 400° C. to about 1000° C., depositing another layer of low deposition temperature gap-filled dielectric, and curing after deposition. Embodiments include separately depositing and separately curing multiple layers.

    摘要: A method of forming a metal or metal nitride layer interface between a copper layer and a silicon nitride layer can include providing a metal organic gas or metal/metal nitride precursor over a copper layer, forming a metal or metal nitride layer from reactions between the metal organic gas or metal/metal nitride precursor and the copper layer, and depositing a silicon nitride layer over the metal or metal nitride layer and copper layer. The metal or metal nitride layer can provide a better interface adhesion between the silicon nitride layer and the copper layer. The metal layer can improve the interface between the copper layer and the silicon nitride layer, improving electromigration reliability and, thus, integrated circuit device performance.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a first metallization level, a first diffusion barrier layer, a first etch stop layer, a dielectric layer and an opening extending through the dielectric layer, the first etch stop layer, and the first diffusion barrier layer. The first diffusion barrier layer is disposed over the first metallization level. The first etch stop layer is disposed over the first diffusion barrier layer, and the dielectric layer is disposed over the first etch stop layer. The opening can also have rounded corners. A sidewall diffusion barrier layer can be disposed on sidewalls of the opening, and the sidewall diffusion barrier layer is formed from the same material as the first diffusion barrier layer. The first etch stop layer can be formed from a material different than the first barrier layer, and the material of the first barrier layer can be selected from the group consisting of tantalum, titanium, tantalum nitride, titanium nitride, and tungsten nitride. Metal within the opening form a second metal feature, and the metal can comprise copper or a copper alloy. A method of manufacturing the semiconductor device is also disclosed.
