    摘要: When an interconnect structure is built on porous ultra low k (ULK) material, the bottom and/or sidewall of the trench and/or via is usually damaged by a following metallization or cleaning process which may be suitable for dense higher dielectric materials. Embodiments of the present invention may provide a method of repairing process induced dielectric damage from forming an interconnect structure on an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) material. The method includes treating an exposed area of the ILD material to create a carbon-rich area, and metallizing the carbon-rich area. One embodiment includes providing treatment to an exposed sidewall area of the ILD material to create a carbon-rich area by irradiating the exposed area using a gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) generated through a gas including a straight chain or branched, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon, and metallizing the carbon-rich area.

    摘要: A chemical solution that removes undesired metal hard mask yet remains selective to the device wiring metallurgy and dielectric materials. The present invention decreases aspect ratio by selective removal of the metal hard mask before the metallization of the receiving structures without adverse damage to any existing metal or dielectric materials required to define the semiconductor device, e.g. copper metallurgy or device dielectric. Thus, an improved aspect ratio for metal fill without introducing any excessive trapezoidal cross-sectional character to the defined metal receiving structures of the device will result.

    摘要: A method of forming damascene interconnect structure in an organo-silicate glass layer without causing damage to the organo-silicate glass material. The method includes forming a stack of hardmask layers over the organo-silicate glass layer, defining openings in the hardmask and organo-silicate glass layers using a combination of plasma etch and plasma photoresist removal processes and performing one or more additional plasma etch processes that do not include oxygen containing species to etch the openings to depths required for forming the damascene interconnect structures and to remove any organo-silicate material damaged by the combination of plasma etch and plasma photoresist removal processes.

    摘要: A three photomask image transfer method. The method includes using a first photomask, defining a set of mandrels on a hardmask layer on a substrate; forming sidewall spacers on sidewalls of the mandrels, the sidewall spacers spaced apart; removing the set of mandrels; using a second photomask, removing regions of the sidewall spacers forming trimmed sidewall spacers and defining a pattern of first features; forming a pattern transfer layer on the trimmed sidewall spacers and the hardmask layer not covered by the trimmed sidewall spacers; using a third photomask, defining a pattern of second features in the transfer layer, at least one of the second features abutting at least one feature of the pattern of first features; and simultaneously transferring the pattern of first features and the pattern of second features into the hardmask layer thereby forming a patterned hardmask layer.
