    摘要: A method of forming and a device including an interconnect structure having a unidirectional electrical conductive material is described. The unidirectional conductive material may overlie interconnect materials, and/or may surround interconnect materials, such as by lining the walls and base of a trench and via. The unidirectional conductive material may be configured to conduct electricity in a direction corresponding to a projection to or from a contact point and conductive material overlying the unidirectional conductive material, but have no substantial electrical conductivity in other directions. Moreover, the unidirectional conductive material may be electrically conductive in a direction normal to a surface over which it is formed or in directions along or across a plane, but have no substantial electrical conductivity in other directions. Finally, the unidirectional conductive material may have properties tending to reduce metal diffusion, reduce electron migration, provide adhesion or bonding, and/or act as an etch stop.

    摘要: Anti-reflective materials such as bottom anti-reflective coatings (BARC's) and sacrificial light absorbing materials (SLAM) may be made more effective at preventing coherent light or electron beam reflection from a substrate by including in the anti-reflective material an additive to alter the radiation beam path of the reflected light or electrons. The radiation beam path altering additive may be a reflective material or a refractive material. The inclusion of such a radiation beam bath altering additive may reduce line width roughness and increase critical dimension (CD) control of interconnect lines and vias.

    摘要: A method of forming a thin film on a substrate to fabricate a microelectronic device, a microelectronic device comprising a thin film deposited according to the method, and a system comprising the microelectronic device. The thin film may include on of a low k thin film, a thin film comprising photoresist, and a sacrificial polymer. The method comprises dispersing a precursor preparation into a spray of charged droplets through subjecting the liquid precursor preparation to electrostatic forces; directing the charged droplets to move toward the substrate; and allowing the charged droplets to generate a beam of gas-phase ions as the charged droplets move toward the substrate. The method further includes directing the gas-phase ions to impinge upon the substrate to deposit the thin film thereon to yield a deposited thin film on the substrate.

    摘要: Multiple-layer films in integrated circuit processing may be formed by the phase segregation of a single composition formed above a semiconductor substrate. The composition is then induced to phase segregate into at least a first continuous phase and a second continuous phase. The composition may be formed of two or more components that phase segregate into different continuous layers. The composition may also be a single component that breaks down upon activation into two or more components that phase segregate into different continuous layers. Phase segregation may be used to form, for example, a sacrificial light absorbing material (SLAM) and a developer resistant skin, a dielectric layer and a hard mask, a photoresist and an anti-reflective coating (ARC), a stress buffer coating and a protective layer on a substrate package, and light interference layers.

    摘要: Several techniques are described for modulating the etch rate of a sacrificial light absorbing material (SLAM) by altering its composition so that it matches the etch rate of a surrounding dielectric. This is particularly useful in a dual damascene process where the SLAM fills a via opening and is etched along with a surrounding dielectric material to form trenches overlying the via opening.
