    摘要: A method for fabricating an integrated circuit comprising an electromigration barrier in a line of the integrated circuit includes forming a spacer; forming a segmented line adjacent to opposing sides of the spacer, the segmented line formed from a first conductive material; removing the spacer to form an empty line break; and filling the empty line break with a second conductive material to form an electromigration barrier that isolates electromigration effects within individual segments of the segmented line. An integrated circuit comprising an electromigration barrier includes a line, the line comprising a first conductive material, the line further comprising a plurality of line segments separated by one or more electromigration barriers, wherein the one or more electromigration barriers comprise a second conductive material that isolates electromigration effects within individual segments of the line.

    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: A chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) step is used to remove excess conductive material (e.g., Cu) overlying a low-k or ultralow-k interlevel dielectric layer (ILD) layer having trenches filled with conductive material, for a damascene interconnect structure. A reactive ion etch (RIE) or a Gas Cluster Ion Beam (GCIB) process is used to remove a portion of a liner which is atop a hard mask. A wet etch step is used to remove an oxide portion of the hard mask overlying the ILD, followed by a final touch-up Cu CMP (CMP) step which chops the protruding Cu patterns off and lands on the SiCOH hard mask. In this manner, processes used to remove excess conductive material substantially do not affect the portion of the hard mask overlying the interlevel dielectric layer.
