    摘要: A substrate is provided having semiconductor device structures formed in and on the substrate. The semiconductor device structures comprise conductor layers embedded in openings in dielectric layers having a dielectric constant of less than 4.5. The dielectric layer has a roughness between the dielectric and the conductor wherein the roughness of the dielectric layer divided by the thickness of a barrier layer underlying the conductor layer is 0 to 1. The integrated circuit structure is prepared for failure analysis by removing the low dielectric constant dielectric layers and exposing the conductor layers for further failure analysis by optical examination or scanning electron microscope (SEM).

    摘要: A method for forming a composite barrier layer that also functions as an etch stop in a damascene process is disclosed. A SiC layer is deposited on a substrate in a CVD process chamber followed by deposition of a silicon nitride layer to complete the composite barrier layer. The SiC layer exhibits excellent adhesion to a copper layer in the substrate and is formed by a method that avoids reactive Si+4 species and thereby prevents CuSiX formation. The silicon nitride layer thickness is sufficient to provide superior barrier capability to metal ions but is kept as thin as possible to minimize the dielectric constant of the composite barrier layer. The composite barrier layer provides excellent resistance to copper oxidation during oxygen ashing steps and enables a copper layer to be fabricated with a lower leakage current than when a conventional silicon nitride barrier layer is employed.

    摘要: A method for cleaning residual material from a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) apparatus in situ employing dry etching. There is first employed a high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDP-CVD) method to deposit layers of silicon oxide material upon substrates within a chemical vapor deposition reactor apparatus. After removal of substrates, the reactor chamber is closed off. The interior of the reactor is then filled with a gas and a plasma formed therewithin, to which oxygen is added and the reactor allowed to come to an increased temperature and bake for a period of time. The reactor power is then turned off and the reactor evacuated. There is then carried out a normal cleaning step within the reactor chamber employing a reactive gas such as NF3, with greater cleaning efficiency due to the increased temperature caused by the baking step.
