    摘要: Reliable contacts/vias are formed by sputter etching to flare exposed edges of an opening formed in a dielectric layer, depositing a composite barrier layer and then filling the opening with tungsten at a low deposition rate. The resulting contact/via exhibits significantly reduced porosity and contact resistance. Embodiments include sputter etching to incline the edges of an opening formed in an oxide dielectric layer, e.g., a silicon oxide derived from TEOS or BPSG, at an angle of about 83° to about 86°, depositing a thin layer of Ti, e.g., at a thickness of about 250 Å to about 350 Å, depositing at least one layer of titanium nitride, e.g., three layers of titanium nitride, at a total thickness of about 130 Å to about 170 Å, and then depositing tungsten at a deposition rate of about 1,900 to about 2,300 Å/min to fill the opening.

    摘要: A low cost technique for detecting defects in photolithography processes in a submicron integrated circuit manufacturing environment combines use of a reusable test wafer with in-line processing to monitor defects using a pattern comparator system. A reusable test wafer having an oxide layer overlying a silicon substrate and having a thickness corresponding to a minimum reflectance for an exposure wavelength used for photolithography is patterned using a prescribed photolithographic fabrication process to form a repetitive pattern according to a prescribed design product rule. The pattern is formed using a reticle having a repetitive pattern array with a similar design rule as the product to be developed by the lithography processes. The patterned test wafer is then inspected using image-based inspection techniques, where the image has high resolution pixels of preferably 0.25 microns per pixel. An optical review station and scanning electron microscope system are used to review defect and classify defect types. The test wafer can then be reused by cleaning the photolithographic pattern by removing the photoresist, and then removing polymer particles adhering to the oxide layer following removal of the photoresist.

    摘要: A process of forming an electronic device can include depositing a first layer over a substrate and depositing a second layer over the first layer. In one embodiment, depositing the first layer is performed at a first alternating current (“AC”) power, and depositing the second layer is performed at a second AC power that is different from the first AC power. In another embodiment, the first layer is formed by a physical vapor deposition technique at a first power sufficient to remove the insulating layer using first metal ions, wherein the first layer includes an overhanging portion extending over the bottom of the opening. In a further embodiment, the second layer is formed by the physical vapor deposition technique using second metal ions and a second power sufficient to reduce a lateral dimension of the overhanging portion.
