    摘要: A hard mask is formed on an interconnect structure comprising a low-k material layer and a metal feature embedded therein. A block polymer is applied to the hard mask layer, self-assembled, and patterned to form a polymeric matrix of a polymeric block component and containing cylindrical holes. The hard mask and the low-k material layer therebelow are etched to form cavities. A conductive material is plated on exposed metallic surfaces including portions of top surfaces of the metal feature to form metal pads. Metal silicide pads are formed by exposure of the metal pads to a silicon containing gas. An etch is performed to enlarge and merge the cavities in the low-k material layer. The metal feature is protected from the etch by the metal silicide pads. An interconnect structure having an air gap and free of defects to surfaces of the metal feature is formed.

    摘要: A method for fabricating an interconnect structure for interconnecting a semiconductor substrate to have three distinct patterned structures such that the interconnect structure provides both a low k and high structural integrity. The method includes depositing an interlayer dielectric onto the semiconductor substrate, forming a first pattern within the interlayer dielectric material by a first lithographic process that results in both via features and ternary features being formed in the interconnect structure. The method further includes forming a second pattern within the interlayer dielectric material by a second lithographic process to form line features within the interconnect structure. Hence the method forms the three separate distinct patterned structures using only two lithographic processes for each interconnect level.

    摘要: An interconnect structure including a patterned multilayer of spun-on dielectrics as well as methods for manufacturing the same are provided. The interconnect structure includes a patterned multilayer of spun-on dielectrics formed on a surface of a substrate. The patterned multilayer of spun-on dielectrics is composed of a bottom low-k dielectric, a buried etch stop layer, and a top low-k dielectric, wherein the bottom and top low-k dielectrics have a first composition, the said buried etch stop layer has a second composition which is different from the first composition and the buried etch stop layer is covalently bonded to said top and bottom low-k dielectrics. The interconnect structure further includes a polish stop layer formed on the patterned multilayer of spun-on dielectrics; and metal conductive regions formed within the patterned multilayer of spun-on dielectrics. Covalent bonding is achieved by employing an organosilane having functional groups that are capable of bonding with the top and bottom dielectric layers.
