摘要： A method for capping lines includes forming a metal film layer on a copper line by a selective deposition process, the copper line disposed in a dielectric substrate, wherein the depositing also results in the deposition of stray metal material on the surface of the dielectric substrate, and etching with an isotropic etching process to remove a portion of the metal film layer and the stray metal material on the surface of the dielectric substrate, wherein the metal film layer is deposited at an initial thickness sufficient to leave a metal film layer cap remaining on the copper line following the removal of the stray metal material.

摘要： This invention relates to a method of forming a bottomless liner structure. The method involves the steps of first obtaining a material having a via. Next, a first layer is deposited on the material, the first layer covering the sidewalls and bottom of the via. Finally, a second layer is sputter deposited on the first material, the material Rf biased during at least a portion of the time that the second layer is sputter deposited, such that the first layer deposited on the bottom of the via is substantially removed and substantially all of the first layer deposited on the sidewalls of the via is unaffected.
