    摘要: Capping a low resistivity metal conductor line or via with a refractory metal allows for effectively using chemical-mechanical polishing techniques because the-hard, reduced wear, properties of the refractory metal do not scratch, corrode, or smear during chemical-mechanical polishing. Superior conductive lines and vias are created using a combination of both physical vapor deposition (e.g., evaporation or collimated sputtering) of a low resistivity metal or alloy followed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of a refractory metal and subsequent planarization. Altering a ratio of SiH.sub.4 to WF.sub.6 during application of the refractory metal cap by CVD allows for controlled incorporation of silicon into the tungsten capping layer. Collimated sputtering allows for creating a refractory metal liner in an opening in a dielectric which is suitable as a diffusion barrier to copper based metalizations as well as CVD tungsten. Ideally, for faster diffusing metals like copper, liners are created by a two step collimated sputtering process wherein a first layer is deposited under relatively low vacuum pressure where directional deposition dominates (e.g., below lmtorr) and a second layer is deposited under relatively high vacuum pressure where scattering deposition dominates (e.g., above 1 mTorr). For refractory metals like CVD tungsten, the liner can be created in one step using collimated sputtering at higher vacuum pressures.

    摘要: Tungsten studs and tungsten lined studs that make low resistance thermally stable ohmic or Schottky contacts to active devices on a semiconductor substrate are made by first defining a triplex metallurgical structure. The triplex metallurgical structure includes an ohmic layer, a barrier layer and a sacrificial layer. Then, a blanket layer of insulator is deposited and polished, or etched, or both, until the stud metallurgy is exposed. The sacrificial layer is then etched out, leaving holes self-aligned to the contacts and to the ohmic and the barrier layers. A blanket layer of CVD tungsten is then deposited and the substrate is polished, or etched, or both, to remove excess tungsten. The metal contact studs can be simultaneously formed with patterned interconnection lines which are self-aligned to each other and also to the contact studs.
