摘要:
A method of manufacturing metallic interconnects. A substrate has a copper line formed therein. An inter-metal dielectric layer is formed over the substrate and the copper line. A patterned photoresist layer is formed over the inter-metal dielectric layer. The inter-metal dielectric layer is etched to form a trench and a contact opening that exposes a portion of the copper line, wherein the contact opening is under the trench. At a low temperature and using a plasma derived from a gaseous mixture N2H2 (H2:4%)/O2, the photoresist layer is removed. Any copper oxide layer formed on the copper line in the process of removing photoresist material is reduced back to copper using gaseous N2H2 (H2:4%). A barrier layer conformal to the trench and the contact opening profile is formed. Copper is deposited to form a conformal first copper layer over the trench and the contact opening. Using the first copper layer as a seeding layer, a copper or a copperless electroplating is carried out so that a second copper layer is grown anisotropically over the first copper layer.

摘要:
A method for fabricating a capacitor of a DRAM includes a lower conductive layer of the capacitor is formed over a substrate and is electrically coupled to an interchangeable source/drain region through a contact window penetrating an insulating layer. Then performing etching process on the lower conductive layer so as to form a fence-like plate with a higher height than a thickness of the lower conductive layer and adhere to the lower conductive layer. Next a media conductive layer is formed over the lower conductive layer and the fence-like plate. Then the technology of etching back is utilized to round the sharp area on the tip of the fence-like plate. The lower conductive layer and the media conductive layer are electrically coupled together as a lower electrode. Then, a dielectric thin film is formed over the media conductive layer and an upper electrode is formed over the dielectric thin film. Therefore, a MIM capacitor according to the preferred embodiment of the invention is formed.
