    Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing are provided. A dielectric layer is formed over a substrate, and a first silicon-containing layer, undoped, is formed over the dielectric layer. Atomic-layer doping is used to dope the undoped silicon-containing layer. A second silicon-containing layer is formed over first silicon-containing layer. The process may be expanded to include forming a PMOS and NMOS device on the same wafer. For example, the first silicon-containing layer may be thinned in the PMOS region prior to the atomic-layer doping. In the NMOS region, the doped portion of the first silicon-containing layer is removed such that the remaining portion of the first silicon-containing layer in the NMOS is undoped. Thereafter, another atomic-layer doping process may be used to dope the first silicon-containing layer in the NMOS region to a different conductivity type. A third silicon-containing layer may be formed doped to the respective conductivity type.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for forming a composite barrier layer with 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 generally form boundaries with dielectric materials and crystalline layers generally form boundaries with conductive materials such as interconnect materials.

    Abstract: A new method and structure is provided for the creation of a copper dual damascene interconnect. A dual damascene structure is created in the layer of dielectric, optionally a metal barrier layer is deposited over exposed surfaces of the dual damascene structure. A copper seed layer is deposited, the dual damascene structure is filled with copper. An anneal is applied to the created copper interconnect after which excess copper is removed from the dielectric. Of critical importance to the invention, a thin layer of oxide is then deposited as a cap layer over the copper dual damascene interconnect, an etch stop layer is then deposited over the thin layer of oxide for continued upper-level metallization.
