摘要:
A method of fabricating an inlaid structure. A sacrificial layer having a trench opening over a substrate is provided. A metal layer is deposited over the sacrificial layer filling the trench openings. A first CMP is performed to remove excess metal layer above the sacrificial layer to form an interconnect structure. The sacrificial layer is removed to expose the interconnect structure. A first dielectric layer is deposited over the substrate covering the interconnect structure. A second CMP is performed on the first dielectric layer to planarize the first dielectric layer.

A method of reducing the pattern effect in the CMP process. The method comprises the steps of providing a semiconductor substrate having a patterned dielectric layer, a barrier layer on the patterned dielectric layer, and a conductive layer on the barrier layer; performing a first CMP process to remove part of the conductive layer before the barrier layer is polished, thereby a step height of the conductive layer is reduced; depositing a layer of material substantially the same as the conductive layer on the conductive layer; and performing a second CMP process to expose the dielectric layer. A method of eliminating the dishing phenomena after a CMP process and a CMP rework method are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of protecting a fresh metal surface, preferably copper, after a metal deposition step. The metal deposition is preferably part of single or dual damascene process. The metal surface is treated with an amine, preferably BTA, to form a metal complex that is a hydrophobic monolayer and prevents the underlying metal from reacting to form oxides that can degrade device performance. The amine can be applied in various ways including dipping, spraying, spin coating, and by a CVD method. The sacrificial protective layer can remain on the substrate during a storage period of up to hours or days before it is removed in a subsequent chemical mechanical polish step. The use of a sacrificial protective layer improves throughput in a damascene process by allowing long queue times between metal deposition and CMP which gives more flexibility to production flow and reduces cost.

A method for fabricating a dual gate thin film transistor (TFT) device provides for forming a pair of source/drain layers self-aligned with respect to a first gate electrode and forming a second gate electrode self-aligned with respect to both the pair of source/drain layers and the first gate electrode. Thus, the dual gate TFT device is fabricated with enhanced alignment. In addition, the dual gate TFT device (or a single gate TFT device) may be fabricated with source/drain layers formed of a silicon-germanium alloy material, such as to provide the TFT device with enhanced performance with respect to a kink effect.

A method of forming a planarized final copper structure including the following steps. A structure is provided having a patterned dielectric layer formed thereover. The patterned dielectric layer having an opening formed therein. A barrier layer is formed over the patterned dielectric layer, lining the opening. An initial planarized copper structure is formed within the barrier layer lined opening, and is planar with the barrier layer overlying the patterned dielectric layer. The initial planarized copper structure is recessed below the barrier layer overlying the patterned dielectric layer a distance to form a recessed copper structure. Any copper oxide formed upon the recessed copper structure is removed. A conductor film is formed over the recessed, copper oxide-free initial copper structure and the barrier layer. The excess of the conductor film is removed from over the barrier layer, and the excess of the barrier layer overlying the patterned dielectric layer is removed, by a planarization process to form the planarized final copper structure. The planarized final copper structure comprising: the lower, recessed copper oxide-free initial copper structure; and an overlying planarized conductor film, wherein the overlying planarized conductor film isolates the lower, recessed copper oxide-free initial copper structure from the ambient atmosphere.
摘要:
A process for forming a shallow source/drain region, for a sub-micron MOSFET device, has been developed. The process features a process sequence comprised of a series of ion implantation procedures, followed by a low temperature, rapid thermal anneal procedure. Each ion implantation procedure, uses a specific energy and a specific dose, resulting in a series of ion implant regions, each located at a specific depth in the semiconductor substrate. A rapid thermal anneal is used to activate the implanted ions, forming the shallow source/drain region. The creation of several ion implant regions, reduced the risk of crystal damage which can result with the use of a single, more concentrated, ion implant region. The risk of crystal damage is also reduced via the use of a rapid thermal anneal procedure, which can be employed at lower temperatures than counterpart anneal procedures, that are used to distribute ions from a single, ion implanted region.
