摘要:
A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes providing a substrate; forming a low-k dielectric layer over the substrate; embedding a conductive wiring into the low-k dielectric layer; and thermal soaking the conductive wiring in a carbon-containing silane-based chemical to form a barrier layer on the conductive wiring. A lining barrier layer is formed in the opening for embedding the conductive wiring. The lining barrier layer may comprise same materials as the barrier layer, and the lining barrier layer may be recessed before forming the barrier layer and may contain a metal that can be silicided.

A semiconductor structure having an opening formed in a porous dielectric layer is provided. The exposed pores of the dielectric layer along the sidewalls of the opening are sealed. The sealing may comprise a selective or a non-selective deposition method. The sealing layer has a substantially uniform thickness in one portion of the opening and a non-uniform thickness in another portion of the opening. A damascene interconnect structure having a pore sealing layer is provided as is its method of manufacture.
