    摘要: Methods of forming a metal line and/or via critical dimension (CD) in a single or dual damascene process on a semiconductor substrate, and the resist scheme implemented, are disclosed. The method includes forming a multiple layer resist scheme including a first planarizing layer of a first type material over the substrate, a second dielectric layer of a second type material over the planarizing layer, and a third photoresist layer of a third type material over the dielectric layer. The types of material alternate between organic and inorganic material. The third layer is patterned for the metal line and/or via CD. Sequential etching to form the metal line and/or via critical dimension using a tailored etch recipe particular to each of the first photoresist layer, the second dielectric layer and the third planarizing layer as each layer is exposed is then used. Accurate CD formation and adequate resist budget are provided.

    摘要: A process for forming a damascene structure includes depositing a bilayer comprising a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer onto a substrate, wherein the first layer has a dielectric constant higher than the second layer, and wherein the second layer is selected from a low k dielectric material comprising Si, C, O and H. The multi-step damascene structure is patterned into the dielectric bilayer using highly selective anisotropic reactive ion etching. Photoresist, polymers and post etch residues are removed from the substrate using a plasma ashing process without damaging the underlying dielectric layers.

    摘要: Novel interconnect structures possessing a relatively low internal stress and dielectric constant for use in semiconductor devices are provided herein. The novel interconnect structures comprise a first layer having a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than about 20 ppm and a first internal stress associated therewith, the first layer having a first set of metallic lines formed therein; a second layer having a coefficient of thermal expansion less than about 20 ppm and a second internal stress associated therewith, the second layer having a second set of metallic lines formed therein; and one or more stress adjustment cap layers formed between the first layer and the second layer, the cap layer(s) having a third internal stress to offset the first stress of the first layer and the second stress of the second layer and inducing a favorable relief of stress on the interconnect structure. Methods for making a semiconductor device having a substantially reduced internal stress are also provided.

    摘要: An on-chip vertically stacked decoupling capacitor includes a hardmask film formed between the capacitor dielectric and the lower electrode. The manufacturing process used to form the capacitor takes advantage of the hardmask film and enables the capacitor to be formed over a low-k dielectric material. Attack of the underlying low-k dielectric material is suppressed during the etching and stripping processes used to form the capacitor, due to the presence of the hardmask. The low-k dielectric film provides for a reduced parasitic capacitance between adjacent conductive wires formed in the low-k dielectric material and therefore provides for increased levels of integration.
