    摘要: Methods of forming barrier layers and structures thereof are disclosed. A nitrogen rich region is formed at a top surface of a barrier layer by exposing the barrier layer to a nitridation treatment. The nitrogen rich region increases the oxidation resistance of the barrier layer. The barrier layers have improved diffusion barrier properties. A stack of barrier layers may be formed, with one or more of the barrier layers in the stack being exposed to a nitridation treatment.

    摘要: An improved barrier stack for inhibiting diffusion of atoms or molecules, such as O2 is disclosed. The barrier stack is particularly useful in capacitor over plug structures to prevent plug oxidation which can adversely impact the reliability of the structures. The barrier stack includes first and second barrier layers. In one embodiment, the first barrier layer comprises first and second sub-barrier layers having mismatched grain boundaries. The sub-barrier layers are selected from, for example, Ir, Ru, Pd, Rh, or alloys thereof. By providing mismatched grain boundaries, the interface of the sub-barrier layers block the diffusion path of oxygen. To further enhance the barrier properties, the first barrier layer is passivated with O2 using, for example, a rapid thermal oxidation. The RTO forms a thin oxide layer on the surface of the first barrier layer. The oxide layer can advantageously promote mismatching of the grain boundaries of the first and second sub-barrier layer. The second barrier layer comprises a conductive oxide.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a capacitor includes a first via level having first metal bars and first vias, such that the first metal bars are coupled to a first potential node. The first metal bars are longer than the first vias. Second metal bars and second vias are disposed in a second via level, the second metal bars are coupled to the first potential node. The second metal bars are longer than the second vias. The second via level is above the first via level and the first metal bars are parallel to the second metal bars. Each of the first metal bars has a first end, an opposite second end, and a middle portion between the first and the second ends. Each of the middle portions of the first metal bars and the second ends of the first metal bars do not contact any metal line.
