    摘要: A method of forming an integrated circuit structure includes forming a dielectric layer; forming an opening in the dielectric layer; performing a first deposition step to form a seed layer in a first chamber; and performing a first etch step to remove a portion of the seed layer. The method may further include performing a second deposition step to increase the thickness of the seed layer. At least one of the first etch step and the second deposition step is performed in a second chamber different from the first chamber.

    摘要: A novel process for re-distributing a barrier layer deposited on a single damascene, dual damascene or other contact opening structure. The process includes providing a substrate having a contact opening structure and a metal barrier layer deposited in the contact opening structure, re-sputtering the barrier layer by bombarding the barrier layer with argon ions and metal ions, and re-sputtering the barrier layer by bombarding the barrier layer with argon ions.

    摘要: A novel method for depositing a barrier layer on a single damascene, dual damascene or other contact opening structure. The method eliminates the need for pre-cleaning argon ion bombardment of the structure, thereby reducing or eliminating damage to the surface of the underlying conductive layer and sputtering of copper particles to the via or other contact opening sidewall. The process includes fabrication of a single damascene, dual damascene or other contact opening structure on a substrate; optionally pre-cleaning the structure typically using nitrogen or hydrogen plasma; depositing a thin metal barrier layer on the sidewalls and bottom of the structure; and redistributing or re-sputtering the barrier layer on the bottom and sidewalls of the structure.

    摘要: Provided is a method for forming a composite barrier layer with superior barrier qualities and superior adhesion properties to both dielectric materials and conductive materials as the composite barrier layer extends throughout the semiconductor device. The composite barrier layer may be formed in regions where it is disposed between two conductive layers and in regions where it is disposed between a conductive layer and a dielectric material. The composite barrier layer may consist of various pluralities of layers and the arrangement of layers that form the composite barrier layer may differ as the barrier layer extends throughout different sections of the device. Amorphous layers of the composite barrier layer generally form boundaries with dielectric materials and crystalline layers generally form boundaries with conductive materials such as interconnect materials.
