    摘要: An opening in a dielectric layer having a unique barrier layer structure is provided. In an embodiment, the opening is a via and a trench. The barrier layer, which may comprise one or more barrier layers, is formed such that the ratio of the thickness of the barrier layers along a sidewall approximately midway between the bottom of the trench and the top of the dielectric layer to the thickness of the barrier layers along the bottom of the trench is greater than about 0.55. In another embodiment, the ratio of the thickness of the barrier layers along a sidewall approximately midway between the bottom of the trench and the top of the dielectric layer to the thickness of the barrier layers along the bottom of the via is greater than about 1.0. An underlying conductive layer may be recessed.

    摘要: A barrier layer and a fabrication thereof are disclosed. The barrier layer comprises at least one barrier material selected from the group consisting of Ta, W, Ti, Ru, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Cr and Mo and at least one component of oxygen, nitrogen or carbon. A ratio of the component to the barrier material is not less than about 0.45. The fabrication method of the barrier layer applies a working pressure for forming the barrier layer from about 0.5 mTorr to about 200 mTorr substantially without forming crystalline material therein.

    摘要: An atomic layer deposition method is used to deposit a TiN or TiSiN film having a thickness of about 50 nm or less on a substrate. A titanium precursor which is tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium (TDMAT), tetrakis(diethylamido)titanium (TDEAT), or Ti{OCH(CH3)2}4 avoids halide contamination from a titanium halide precursor and is safer to handle than a titanium nitrate. After a monolayer of the titanium precursor is deposited on a substrate, a nitrogen containing reactant is introduced to form a TiN monolayer which is followed by a second purge. For TiSiN, a silicon source gas is fed into the process chamber after the TiN monolayer formation. The process is repeated several times to produce a composite layer comprised of a plurality of monolayers that fills a contact hole. The ALD method is cost effective and affords an interconnect with lower impurity levels and better step coverage than conventional PECVD or CVD processes.
