Abstract: Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device structure are provided. The method includes forming a fin structure over a substrate. The method also includes forming a gate structure over the fin structure. The method further includes epitaxially growing a source/drain structure covering the fin structure. In addition, the method includes epitaxially growing a capping layer over the source/drain structure. The capping layer has a top portion and a lower portion under the top portion. The top portion has a first thickness and the lower portion has a second. A ratio of the first thickness to the second thickness is in a range of about 1.01 to about 2. The method also includes etching the top portion and the lower portion of the capping layer. The method further includes forming a silicide layer over the source/drain structure and a contact over the silicide layer.

Abstract: Integrated circuit devices and method of forming them. The devices include a dielectric barrier layer formed over a copper-containing metal interconnect structure. The dielectric barrier layer inhibits electro-migration of Cu. The dielectric barrier layer includes a metal-containing layer that forms an interface with the interconnect structure. Incorporating metal within the interfacial layer improves adhesion of the dielectric barrier layer to copper lines and the like and provides superior electro-migration resistance over the operating lifetime of the devices.
