    摘要: A metallic liner stack including at least a Group VIIIB element layer and a CuMn alloy layer is deposited within a trench in a dielectric layer. Copper is deposited on the metallic liner stack and planarized to form a conductive interconnect structure, which can be a metal line, a metal via, or a combination thereof. The deposited copper and the metallic liner stack are annealed before or after planarization. The Mn atoms are gettered by the Group VIIIB element layer to form a metallic alloy liner including Mn and at least one of Group VIIIB elements. Mn within the metallic alloy liner combines with oxygen during the anneal to form MnO, which acts as a strong barrier to oxygen diffusion, thereby enhancing the reliability of the conductive interconnect structure.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention provide a method of creating vias and trenches with different length. The method includes depositing a plurality of dielectric layers on top of a semiconductor structure with the plurality of dielectric layers being separated by at least one etch-stop layer; creating multiple openings from a top surface of the plurality of dielectric layers down into the plurality of dielectric layers by a non-selective etching process, wherein at least one of the multiple openings has a depth below the etch-step layer; and continuing etching the multiple openings by a selective etching process until one or more openings of the multiple openings that are above the etch-stop layer reach and expose the etch-stop layer. Semiconductor structures made thereby are also provided.
