Electrical interconnects for integrated circuits and methods of fabrication of interconnects are provided. Devices are provided comprising copper interconnects having metal liner layers comprising cobalt and a metal selected from the group consisting of Ru, Pt, Ir, Pd, Re, or Rh. Devices having barrier layers comprising ruthenium and cobalt are provided. Methods include providing a substrate having a trench or via formed therein, forming a metal layer, the metal being selected from the group consisting of Ru, Pt, Ir, Pd, Re, and Rh, onto surfaces of the feature, depositing a copper seed layer comprising a cobalt dopant, and depositing copper into the feature.
摘要:
A method of forming air gaps surrounding conductors in a dielectric layer, the dielectric layer comprising, for example, part of the interconnect structure of an integrated circuit device. The air gaps are formed, in part, by depositing a sacrificial material within a trench and/or via that have been formed in a dielectric layer, and the sacrificial material is ultimately removed after metal deposition to create the air gaps. A porous dielectric cap may be deposited over the dielectric layer, and the sacrificial material may be removed through this porous dielectric layer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A method is described that adjusts the position of a item and sets a tilt angle for each of a plurality of micro-mirrors of a digital micro-mirror device. The setting of the tilt angles is to establish a filter within the optical channel of an inspection tool that inspects the item. The filter is to reduce noise received at an optical detection device. The tilt angle settings are a function of the position. The method also includes comparing information from the optical detection device that describes an inspected region of the item's surface against an expected version of the information.

In one embodiment, a conductive connector for a microelectronic component may be formed with a noble metal layer, acting as an adhesion/wetting layer, disposed between a barrier liner and a conductive fill material. In a further embodiment, the conductive connector may have a noble metal conductive fill material disposed directly on the barrier liner. The use of a noble metal as an adhesion/wetting layer or as a conductive fill material may improve gapfill and adhesion, which may result in the conductive connector being substantially free of voids, thereby improving the electrical performance of the conductive connector relative to conductive connectors without a noble metal as the adhesion/wetting layer or the conductive fill material.
摘要:
A metal interconnect comprising cobalt and method of forming a metal interconnect comprising cobalt are described. In an embodiment, a metal interconnect comprising cobalt includes a dielectric layer disposed on a substrate, an opening formed in the dielectric layer such that the substrate is exposed. The embodiment further includes a seed layer disposed over the substrate and a fill material comprising cobalt formed within the opening and on a surface of the seed layer.
