    摘要: A sputter-etching method employed to achieve a thinned down noble metal liner layer deposited on the surface or field of an intermediate back end of the line (BEOL) interconnect structure. The noble metal liner layer is substantially thinned down to a point where the effect of the noble metal has no significant effect in the chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process. The noble metal liner layer may be completely removed by sputter etching to facilitate effective planarization by chemical-mechanical polishing to take place.

    摘要: A method of fabricating and a structure of an integrated circuit (IC) incorporating a porous dielectric layer are disclosed. A metal line is formed in the porous dielectric layer. A gas cluster ion beam process is applied to the porous dielectric layer so that an upper portion of the dielectric layer is densified to be not porous or non-interconnected low porous, while a lower portion of the porous dielectric layer still maintains its ultra-low dielectric constant after the gas cluster ion beam process.

    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: Damaged porous OSG layers and other damage may be chemically healed. Chemical healing is particularly advantageous in a porous OSG layer in a sub 90 nm ILD. For example, chemical healing may be by reacting the damage with an adhesion promoter having a “k” value comparable to the “k” value desired in the damaged material. Damaged porous OSG layers (which are hydrophilic) may be manipulated to prevent them from allowing moisture to reach copper lines. Undesirable copper out-diffusion can be controlled in ILDs having porous OSG geometry.
