Abstract: A composite barrier layer provides superior barrier qualities and superior adhesion properties to both dielectric materials and conductive materials as the composite barrier layer extends throughout the semiconductor device. The composite barrier layer may be formed in regions where it is disposed between two conductive layers and in regions where it is disposed between a conductive layer and a dielectric material. The composite barrier layer may consist of various pluralities of layers and the arrangement of layers that form the composite barrier layer may differ as the barrier layer extends throughout different sections of the device. Amorphous layers of the composite barrier layer are generally disposed to form boundaries with dielectric materials and crystalline layers are generally disposed to form boundaries with conductive materials such as interconnect materials.

Abstract: It is a general object of the present invention to provide an improved method of fabrication in the formation of an improved copper metal diffusion barrier layer having the structure, W/WSiN/WN, in single and dual damascene interconnect trench/contact via processing with 0.10 micron nodes for MOSFET and CMOS applications. The diffusion barrier is formed by depositing a tungsten nitride bottom layer, followed by an in situ SiH4/NH3 or SiH4/H2 soak forming a WSiN layer, and depositing a final top layer of tungsten. This invention is used to manufacture reliable metal interconnects and contact vias in the fabrication of MOSFET and CMOS devices for both logic and memory applications and the copper diffusion barrier formed, W/WSiN/WN, passes a stringent barrier thermal reliability test at 400° C. Pure single barrier layers, i.e., single layer WN, exhibit copper punch through or copper spiking during the stringent barrier thermal reliability test at 400° C.

Abstract: A method of electrochemical deposition (ECD) provides a barrier and a seed layer on a substrate. The surfaces of the substrate are pre-treated before a metal layer is electrochemically deposited thereon in an electrochemical plating cell with a physical or a chemical surface treatment process. The electrochemical plating cell is covered by a cap to prevent evaporation of the electrolyte solution. The electrochemical plating cell includes a substrate holder assembly with a lift seal, e.g., with a contact angle θ less than 90° between the lift seal and the substrate. The substrate holder assembly includes a substrate chuck at the rear side of the substrate.

Abstract: A method of forming a via in a low-k dielectric material and without the attendant via poisoning problem, or a dual damascene structure formed in the same dielectric and without the same problem are disclosed. The vertical walls of the via opening are first lined with a low-k protection layer and then covered with a barrier layer in order to prevent outgassing from the low-k dielectric material when copper is deposited into the via opening. In the case of a dual damascene structure, it is sufficient that the hole opening underlying the trench opening is first lined with the low-k protection layer. The resulting via or dual damascene structure is free of poisoned metal and, therefore, more reliable.
