    摘要: An interconnect structure including a gouging feature at the bottom of a via opening and a method of forming the same are provided. The method of the present invention does not disrupt the coverage of the deposited trench diffusion barrier in a line opening that is located atop the via opening, and/or does not introduce damages caused by creating a gouging feature at the bottom of the via opening by sputtering into the interconnect dielectric material that includes the via and line openings. Such an interconnect structure is achieved by providing a gouging feature in the bottom of the via opening by first forming the line opening within the interconnect dielectric, followed by forming the via opening and then the gouging feature.

    摘要: An interconnect structure is provided in which the conductive features embedded within a dielectric material are capped with a metallic capping layer, yet no metallic residue is present on the surface of the dielectric material in the final structure. The inventive interconnect structure has improved dielectric breakdown strength as compared to prior art interconnect structures. Moreover, the inventive interconnect structure has better reliability and technology extendibility for the semiconductor industry. The inventive interconnect structure includes a dielectric material having at least one metallic capped conductive feature embedded therein, wherein a top portion of said at least one metallic capped conductive feature extends above an upper surface of the dielectric material. A dielectric capping layer is located on the dielectric material and it encapsulates the top portion of said at least one metallic capped conductive feature that extends above the upper surface of dielectric material.
