摘要:
A structure and formation method for electrically connecting aluminum and copper interconnections stabilize a semiconductor metallization process using an inner shape electrically connecting the aluminum and copper interconnections. To this end, a copper interconnection is disposed on a semiconductor substrate. An interconnection induction layer and an interconnection insertion layer are sequentially formed on the copper interconnection to have a contact hole exposing the copper interconnection. An upper diameter of the contact hole may be formed to be larger than a lower diameter thereof. A barrier layer and an aluminum interconnection are filled in the contact hole. The aluminum interconnection is formed not to directly contact the copper interconnection through the contact hole.

Methods of forming a metal interconnection structure are provided. The methods include forming an insulating layer on a semiconductor substrate including a first metal interconnection. The insulating layer is patterned to form an opening that exposes the first metal interconnection. A first diffusion barrier layer is formed on the exposed first metal interconnection. After forming the first diffusion barrier layer, a second diffusion barrier layer is formed on the first diffusion barrier layer in the opening, the second diffusion barrier layer contacting a sidewall of the opening. A second metal interconnection is formed on the second diffusion barrier layer.

A gate structure is formed on a substrate. An insulating interlayer is formed covering the gate structure. The substrate is heat treated while exposing a surface of the insulating interlayer to a hydrogen gas atmosphere. A silicon nitride layer is formed directly on the interlayer insulating layer after the heat treatment and a metal wiring is formed on the insulating interlayer. The metal wiring may include copper. Heat treating the substrate while exposing a surface of the interlayer insulating layer to a hydrogen gas atmosphere may be preceded by forming a plug through the first insulating interlayer that contacts the substrate, and the metal wiring may be electrically connected to the plug. The plug may include tungsten.

摘要:
A bonding pad structure for a semiconductor device includes a first lower metal layer beneath a second upper metal layer in a bonding region of the device. The lower metal layer is formed such that the metal of the lower metal layer is absent from the bonding region. As a result, if damage occurs to the structure during procedures such as probing or bonding at the bonding region, the lower metal is not exposed to the environment. Oxidation of the lower metal layer by exposure to the environment is prevented, thus improving reliability of the device.
摘要:
Methods of forming conductive pattern structures form an insulating interlayer on a substrate that is partially etched to form a first trench extending to both end portions of a cell block. The insulating interlayer is also partially etched to form a second trench adjacent to the first trench, and a third trench extending to the both end portions of the cell block. The second trench has a disconnected shape at a middle portion of the cell block. A seed copper layer is formed on the insulating interlayer. Inner portions of the first, second and third trenches are electroplated with a copper layer. The copper layer is polished to expose the insulating interlayer to form first and second conductive patterns in the first and second trenches, respectively, and a first dummy conductive pattern in the third trench. Related conductive pattern structures are also described.
