摘要： A low-k dielectric metal conductor interconnect structure having no micro-trenches present therein and a method of forming such a structure are provided. Specifically, the above structure is achieved by providing an interconnect structure which includes at least a multilayer of dielectric materials which are applied sequentially in a single spin apply tool and then cured in a single step and a plurality of patterned metal conductors within the multilayer of spun-on dielectrics. The control over the conductor resistance is obtained using a buried etch stop layer having a second atomic composition located between the line and via dielectric layers of porous low-k dielectrics having a first atomic composition. The inventive interconnect structure also includes a hard mask which assists in forming the interconnect structure of the dual damascene-type. The first and second composition are selected to obtain etch selectivity of at least 10 to 1 or higher, and are selected from specific groups of porous low-k organic or inorganic materials with specific atomic compositions and other discoverable quantities.

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.

摘要： A metal wiring plus low-k dielectric interconnect structure of the dual damascene-type is provided wherein the conductive metal lines and vias are built into a hybrid low-k dielectric which includes two spun-on dielectrics that have different atomic compositions and at least one of the two spun-on dielectrics is porous. The two spun-on dielectrics used in forming the inventive hybrid low-k dielectric each have a dielectric constant of about 2.6 or less, preferably each dielectric of the hybrid structure has a k of from about 1.2 to about 2.2. By utilizing the inventive hybrid low-k dielectric excellent control over metal line resistance (trench depth) is obtained, without no added cost. This is achieved without the use of a buried etch stop layer, which if present, would be formed between the two spun-on dielectrics. Moreover, the spun-on dielectrics of the hybrid low-k dielectric have distinctly different atomic compositions enabling control over the conductor resistance using the bottom spun-on dielectric (i.e., via dielectric) as an inherent etch stop layer for the upper spun-on dielectric (i.e., line dielectric).
