    摘要: A local area interconnect structure comprising one or more electrically conductive interconnects formed from electrically conductive metal compounds is described and a process for forming same. Electrically conductive metal compounds are selectively deposited in one or more trenches which were previously formed in an insulation layer in a configuration conforming to the desired pattern of the electrically conductive interconnects. A seed layer is first selectively formed on surfaces of the trenches and the electrically conductive metal compound is then selectively deposited over the seed layer in the trench, but not on the exposed surfaces of the insulation layer.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of forming SiGe gate electrodes using a thin nucleation layer. A dielectric layer is formed on a semiconductor wafer and a thin silicon nucleation layer deposited on top of the dielectric layer. A SiGe conducting film is deposited on the patterned silicon layer. The ratio of germanium to silicon in the gaseous source mixture for the silicon and germanium layer is selected so that the SiGe conducting film deposits on the nucleation layer but fails to deposit on the dielectric.

    摘要: A three step process for planarizing an integrated circuit structure comprising one or more dielectric layers having trench and/or via openings therein lined with a layer of electrically conductive barrier liner material and filled with copper filler material.Sufficient excess copper (formed over the barrier liner portions on the top surface of the dielectric layer) is removed in an initial chemical mechanical polish (CMP) step to provide a planarized copper layer with a global planarity of about 20 nm to about 30 nm. The remainder of the excess copper over the portion of the barrier liner material lying on the top surface of the dielectric layer is then removed by electropolishing the structure, in a second step, until all of the excess copper over the portion of the barrier liner material lying on the top surface of the dielectric layer is removed. In a third step, all remaining portions of the diffusion barrier liner on the upper surface of the low k dielectric layer are then removed using a dry etching process selective to copper and the dielectric layer until all of the portions of the barrier layer over the top surface of the dielectric layer are removed; whereby the integrated circuit structure may be planarized by removal of all of the copper layer and barrier layer from the top surface of the dielectric layer while inhibiting dishing and/or erosion of the surface of copper filler material in the opening, and without risking distortion and/or delamination by the harsh effects of excessive CMP processing.

    摘要: A composite layer of low k silicon oxide dielectric material is formed on an oxide layer of an integrated circuit structure on a semiconductor substrate having closely spaced apart metal lines thereon. The composite layer of low k silicon oxide dielectric material exhibits void-free deposition properties in high aspect ratio regions between the closely spaced apart metal lines, deposition rates in other regions comparable to standard k silicon oxide, and reduced via poisoning characteristics. The composite layer of low k silicon oxide dielectric material is formed by depositing, in high aspect ratio regions between closely spaced apart metal lines, a first layer of low k silicon oxide dielectric material exhibiting void-free deposition properties until the resulting deposition of low k silicon oxide dielectric material reaches the level of the top of the metal lines on the oxide layer. A second layer of low k silicon oxide dielectric material, having a faster deposition rate than the first layer, is then deposited over the first layer up to the desired overall thickness of the low k silicon oxide dielectric layer. In a preferred embodiment, the steps to form the resulting composite layer of low k silicon oxide dielectric material are all carried out in a single vacuum processing apparatus without removal of the substrate from the vacuum apparatus.
