    摘要: The present invention relates generally to a new sequence of methods and materials to improve the process yield and to enhance the reliability of multilevel interconnection with sub-half-micron geometry by making judicious use of composite insulators to prevent metal thinning over hard metal via plugs and by preventing process induced metal spike formation. The method takes advantage of the double damascene process. The metal spikes and the metal thinning resulting from over etch process is prevented in this method by using a pair of insulators which require different chemistries for etching.

    摘要: A contact structure for a semiconductor device having a first refractory metal layer formed only at the bottom of a contact hole. The first refractory metal is selected from a group comprising titanium (Ti), titanium alloys or compounds such as Ti/TiN, tungsten (W), titanium/tungsten (Ti/W) alloys, or chromium (Cr) or tantalum (Ta) and their alloys or some other suitable material. A low resistivity layer comprising a single, binary or ternary metalization is deposited over the first refractory metal layer in the contact hole by a method such as PVD using evaporation or collimated sputtering. The low resistivity layer has side walls which taper inwardly toward one another with increasing height of the layer and the low resistivity layer does not contact the side walls of the contact hole. The low resistivity layer may be Al.sub.x Cu.sub.y (x+y=1; x.gtoreq.0, y.gtoreq.0), ternary alloys such as Al-Pd-Cu or multicomponent alloys such as Al-Pd-Nb-Au. A second refractory metal layer is deposited over the low resistivity layer. The second refractory metal layer may be tungsten, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum or alloys/compounds such as Ti/TiN. The first and second refractory metal layers completely encapsulate the low resistivity layer. The first and second refractory metal layers can comprise an alloy containing silicon with a higher incorporated silicon content near the top of the contact hold present as a distinct or graded composition than at a location closer to the bottom of the contact hole.
