摘要:
A method for forming a copper dual damascene with improved copper migration resistance and improved electrical resistivity including providing a semiconductor wafer including upper and lower dielectric insulating layers separated by a middle etch stop layer; forming a dual damascene opening extending through a thickness of the upper and lower dielectric insulating layers wherein an upper trench line portion extends through the upper dielectric insulating layer thickness and partially through the middle etch stop layer; blanket depositing a barrier layer including at least one of a refractory metal and refractory metal nitride to line the dual damascene opening; carrying out a remote plasma etch treatment of the dual damascene opening to remove a bottom portion of the barrier layer to reveal an underlying conductive area; and, filling the dual damascene opening with copper to provide a substantially planar surface.

A current-leveling electrode for improving electroplating and electrochemical polishing uniformity in the electrochemical plating or electropolishing of metals on a substrate is disclosed. The current-leveling electrode includes a base electrode and at least one sub-electrode carried by the base electrode. The at least one sub-electrode has a width which is less than a width of the base electrode to impart a generally tapered, stepped or convex configuration to the current-leveling electrode.

摘要:
A semiconductor contact structure and method provide contact structures that extend through a dielectric material and provide contact to multiple different subjacent materials including a silicide material and a non-silicide material such as doped silicon. The contact structures includes a lower composite layer formed using a multi-step ionized metal plasma (IMP) deposition operation. A lower IMP film is formed at a high AC bias power followed by the formation of an upper IMP film at a lower AC bias power. The composite layer may be formed of titanium. A further layer is formed as a liner over the composite layer and the liner layer may advantageously be formed using CVD and may be TiN. A conductive plug material such as tungsten or copper fills the contact openings.

A method of forming an integrated circuit structure includes forming a dielectric layer; forming an opening in the dielectric layer; performing a net deposition step to form a seed layer having a portion in the opening, wherein the net deposition step comprises a first deposition and a first etching; performing a net etch step to the seed layer, wherein the net etch step comprises a first etching and a first deposition, wherein a portion of the seed layer remains after the net etch step; and growing a conductive material on the seed layer to fill a remaining portion of the opening.
摘要:
A method of forming an integrated circuit structure includes providing a substrate; forming a metal feature over the substrate; forming a dielectric layer over the metal feature; and forming an opening in the dielectric layer. At least a portion of the metal feature is exposed through the opening. An oxide layer is accordingly formed on an exposed portion of the metal feature. The method further includes, in a production tool having a vacuum environment, performing an oxide-removal process to remove the oxide layer. Between the step of forming the opening and the oxide-removal process, no additional oxide-removal process is performed to the metal feature outside the production tool. The method further includes, in the production tool, forming a diffusion barrier layer in the opening, and forming a seed layer on the diffusion barrier layer.
