    摘要: A method of eliminating voids in the interlayer dielectric material of 0.18-&mgr;m flash memory semiconductor devices and a semiconductor device formed by the method. The present invention provides a method for eliminating voids in the interlayer dielectric of a 0.18-&mgr;m flash memory semiconductor device by providing a first BPTEOS layer, using a very low deposition rate and having a thickness in a range of approximately 3 kÅ; and providing a second BPTEOS layer, using a standard deposition rate and having a thickness in a range of approximately 13 kÅ, wherein both layers have an atomic dopant concentration of approximately 4.5% B and approximately 5% P. This two-step deposition process completely eliminates voids in the ILD for a 0.5-&mgr;m distance (gate-to-gate) as well as 0.38-&mgr;m distance (gate-to-gate) which is the future flash technology. A low dopant/TEOS flow performed at a higher pressure during the deposition of the first layer provides an excellent gap-filling capability which eliminates voiding. Further, the present invention has the advantage of in-situ deposition of the void-free ILD0 layer of the 0.18-&mgr;m flash memory semiconductor device having a sound dopant concentration.

    摘要: An interconnect structure is formed with a plurality of layers of a conductive material with a grain boundary between any two adjacent layers of the conductive material. Such grain boundaries between layers of conductive material act as shunt by-pass paths for migration of atoms of the conductive material to minimize migration of atoms of the conductive material along the interface between a dielectric passivation or capping layer and the interconnect structure. When the interconnect structure is a via structure, each of the layers of the conductive material and each of the grain boundary are formed to be perpendicular to a direction of current flow through the via structure. Such grain boundaries formed between the plurality of layers of conductive material in the via structure minimize charge carrier wind-force along the direction of current flow through the via structure to further minimize electromigration failure of the via structure.

    摘要: For forming a dual damascene opening within a dielectric material, a via mask material and a trench mask material are formed over the dielectric material. A trench opening is formed through the trench mask material, and a via opening is formed through a via mask patterning material disposed over the via and trench mask materials. The via and trench mask materials exposed through the via opening of the via mask patterning material are etched away, and the via mask patterning material is etched away. A portion of the dielectric material exposed through the via opening is etched down to the underlying interconnect structure, and a portion of the dielectric material exposed through the trench opening is etched, to form the dual damascene opening.

    摘要: Gap filling between features which are closely spaced is significantly improved by initially depositing a thin conformal layer followed by depositing a layer of gap filling dielectric material. Embodiments include depositing a thin conformal layer of silicon nitride or silicon oxide, as by atomic layer deposition or pulsed layer deposition, into the gap between adjacent gate electrode structures such that it flows into undercut regions of dielectric spacers on side surfaces of the gate electrode structures, and then depositing a layer of BPSG or P-HDP oxide on the thin conformal layer into the gap. Embodiments further include depositing the layers at a temperature less than 430° C., as by depositing a P-HDP oxide after depositing the conformal liner when the gate electrode structures include a layer of nickel silicide.
