    摘要: Methods to form memory devices having a MIM capacitor with a recessed electrode are described. In one embodiment, a method of forming a MIM capacitor with a recessed electrode includes forming an excavated feature defined by a lower portion that forms a bottom and an upper portion that forms sidewalls of the excavated feature. The method includes depositing a lower electrode layer in the feature, depositing an electrically insulating layer on the lower electrode layer, and depositing an upper electrode layer on the electrically insulating layer to form the MIM capacitor. The method includes removing an upper portion of the MIM capacitor to expose an upper surface of the electrode layers and then selectively etching one of the electrode layers to recess one of the electrode layers. This recess isolates the electrodes from each other and reduces the likelihood of a current leakage path between the electrodes.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention describe low capacitance interconnect structures for semiconductor devices and methods for manufacturing such devices. According to an embodiment of the invention, a low capacitance interconnect structure comprises an interlayer dielectric (ILD). First and second interconnect lines are disposed in the ILD in an alternating pattern. The top surfaces of the first interconnect lines may be recessed below the top surfaces of the second interconnect lines. Increases in the recess of the first interconnect lines decreases the line-to-line capacitance between neighboring interconnects. Further embodiments include utilizing different dielectric materials as etching caps above the first and second interconnect lines. The different materials may have a high selectivity over each other during an etching process. Accordingly, the alignment budget for contacts to individual interconnect lines is increased.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for forming a directly plateable diffusion barrier within an interconnect structure to prevent diffusion of interconnect fill metal into surrounding dielectric material and lower metal layers. The barrier can be used in back-end interconnect metallization processes and, in an embodiment, renders a seed layer unnecessary. In accordance with various example embodiments, the barrier can be implemented, for instance, as: (1) a single layer of ruthenium silicide (RuSix) or ruthenium silicide nitride (RuSixNy); (2) a bi-layer of Ru/RuSix, RuSix/Ru, Ru/RuSixNy, or RuSixNy/Ru; or (3) a tri-layer of Ru/RuSix/Ru or Ru/RuSixNy/Ru. In some embodiments, Si and/or N concentrations can be adjusted to alter the barrier's degree of diffusion protection, receptiveness to the fill metal, and/or electrical conductivity.

    摘要: Compositions and methods for enabling sputter deposition from targets containing high vapor pressure compounds are describe. An element or compound with a high vapor pressure may be combined with an element or compound with a lower vapor pressure to form a low vapor pressure compound. An alloy sputtering target may then be formed by combining the low vapor pressure compound with a metal that serves as the main material of the sputter target. In some instances, the low vapor pressure compound may comprise MgB2, MgB4, or MgB7. Additionally, the metal that serves as the main material of the sputter target may comprise copper. As a result, the alloy target may comprise Cu(MgB2), Cu(MgB4), or Cu(MgB7). Other embodiments are also described.
