    摘要: An interconnect structure is provided that includes at least one patterned and cured photo-patternable low k material located on a surface of a patterned and cured oxygen-doped SiC antireflective coating (ARC). A conductively filled region is located within the at least one patterned and cured photo-patternable low k material and the patterned and cured oxygen-doped SiC ARC. The oxygen-doped SiC ARC, which is a thin layer (i.e., less than 400 angstroms), does not produce standing waves that may degrade the diffusion barrier and the electrically conductive feature that are embedded within the patterned and cured photo-patternable low k dielectric material and, as such, structural integrity is maintained. Furthermore, since a thin oxygen-doped SiC ARC is employed, the plasma etch process time used to open the material stack of the ARC/dielectric cap can be reduced, thus reducing potential plasma damage to the patterned and cured photo-patternable low k material. Also, the oxygen-doped SiC ARC can withstand current BEOL processing conditions.

    摘要: Methods of fabricating a self-aligned permanent on-chip interconnect structure are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a patterned photoresist having at least one opening on a surface of a substrate. A dielectric sidewall structure is then formed on each sidewall of the patterned photoresist and within the at least one opening. A narrowed width opening is present between neighboring dielectric sidewall structures. The patterned photoresist is then removed and thereafter each dielectric sidewall structure is converted into a permanent patterned dielectric structure which is self-aligned and double patterned. At least an electrically conductive material is formed within the narrowed width openings.

    摘要: A mechanically robust semiconductor structure with improved adhesion strength between a low-k dielectric layer and a dielectric-containing substrate is provided. In particular, the present invention provides a structure that includes a dielectric-containing substrate having an upper region including a treated surface layer which is chemically and physically different from the substrate; and a low-k dielectric material located on a the treated surface layer of the substrate. The treated surface layer and the low-k dielectric material form an interface that has an adhesion strength that is greater than 60% of the cohesive strength of the weaker material on either side of the interface. The treated surface is formed by treating the surface of the substrate with at least one of actinic radiation, a plasma and e-beam radiation prior to forming of the substrate the low-k dielectric material.
