    摘要: A local interconnect structure is provided in which a tungsten region, i.e., tungsten stud, that is formed within a middle-of-the-line (MOL) dielectric material is not damaged and/or contaminated during a multiple interconnect patterning process. This is achieved in the present disclosure by forming a self-aligned tungsten nitride passivation layer within a topmost surface and upper sidewalls portions of the tungsten region that extend above a MOL dielectric material which includes a first interconnect pattern formed therein. During the formation of the self-aligned tungsten nitride passivation layer, a nitrogen enriched dielectric surface also forms within exposed surface of the MOL dielectric material. A second interconnect pattern is then formed adjacent to, but not connect with, the first interconnect pattern. Because of the presence of the self-aligned tungsten nitride passivation layer on the tungsten region, no damaging and/or contamination of the tungsten region can occur.

    摘要: Interconnect structures and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed herein. The method includes forming a barrier layer within a structure and forming an alloy metal on the barrier layer. The method further includes forming a pure metal on the alloy metal, and reflowing the pure metal such that the pure metal migrates to a bottom of the structure, while the alloy metal prevents exposure of the barrier layer. The method further includes completely filling in the structure with additional metal.

    摘要: An interconnect structure that includes a dielectric material having a dielectric constant of about 3.0 or less is provided. This low k dielectric material has at least one conductive material having an upper surface embedded therein. The dielectric material also has a surface layer that is made hydrophobic prior to the formation of the noble metal cap. The noble metal cap is located directly on the upper surface of the at least one conductive material. Because of the presence of the hydrophobic surface layer on the dielectric material, the noble metal cap does not substantially extend onto the hydrophobic surface layer of the dielectric material that is adjacent to the at least one conductive material and no metal residues from the noble metal cap deposition form on this hydrophobic dielectric surface.

    摘要: A method of forming a barrier layer for metal interconnects of an integrated circuit device includes forming a first cap layer over a top surface of a conductive line of the integrated circuit device in a manner that facilitates a controllable dose of oxygen provided to the top surface of the conductive line, the conductive line comprising a metal formed over a seed layer that is an impurity alloy of the metal; and annealing the integrated circuit device so as to combine diffused impurity atoms of the seed layer with the controllable dose of oxygen, thereby forming an impurity oxide layer at an interface between the first cap layer and the top surface of the conductive line.
