    摘要: A method of forming a SiCOH etch stop layer in a copper damascene process is described. A substrate with an exposed metal layer is treated with H2 or NH3 plasma to remove metal oxides. Trimethylsilane is flowed into a chamber with no RF power at about 350° C. to form at least a monolayer on the exposed metal layer. The SiCOH layer is formed by a PECVD process including trimethylsilane and CO2 source gases. Optionally, a composite SiCOH layer comprised of a low compressive stress layer on a high compressive stress layer is formed on the substrate. A conventional damascene sequence is then used to form a second metal layer on the exposed metal layer. Via Rc stability is improved and a lower leakage current is achieved with the trimethylsilane passivation layer. A composite SiCOH etch stop layer provides improved stress migration resistance compared to a single low stress SiCOH layer.

    摘要: A method of forming a barrier layer on the surface of an opening defined in a porous, low dielectric constant (low k), layer, has been developed. The method features the use of a two step deposition procedure using a physical vapor deposition (PVD), procedure to initially deposit a thin underlying, first component of the barrier layer, while an atomic layer deposition (ALD), procedure is then employed for deposition of an overlying second barrier layer component. The underlying, thin barrier layer component obtained via PVD procedures is comprised with the desired properties needed to interface the porous, low k layer, while the overlying barrier layer component obtained via ALD procedures exhibits excellent thickness uniformity.

    摘要: A preferred embodiment of the invention provides a semiconductor device fabrication method comprising forming a set of interlevel wiring interconnect structures through a low-k dielectric layer, wherein the set comprises a lower wiring level, an upper wiring level, and a conductive via connecting the lower wiring level and the upper wiring level. The method further comprises anisotropically etching the first dielectric layer using the upper wiring level as a mask such that substantially all the first dielectric layer is removed except for a residual dielectric underneath the upper wiring level. A preferred embodiment further comprises removing the residual dielectric with an isotropic etch and then filling substantially all space between adjacent interlevel wiring interconnect structures with a ELK dielectric layer. An alternative embodiment provides a method for forming a dual damascene interconnect structure in an ELK dielectric.
