    摘要: An interconnect structure is provided in which the conductive features embedded within a dielectric material are capped with a metallic capping layer, yet no metallic residue is present on the surface of the dielectric material in the final structure. The inventive interconnect structure has improved dielectric breakdown strength as compared to prior art interconnect structures. Moreover, the inventive interconnect structure has better reliability and technology extendibility for the semiconductor industry. The inventive interconnect structure includes a dielectric material having at least one metallic capped conductive feature embedded therein, wherein a top portion of said at least one metallic capped conductive feature extends above an upper surface of the dielectric material. A dielectric capping layer is located on the dielectric material and it encapsulates the top portion of said at least one metallic capped conductive feature that extends above the upper surface of dielectric material.

    摘要: The present invention provides structures and methods for providing facets with different crystallographic orientations than what a semiconductor substrate normally provides. By masking a portion of a semiconductor surface and exposing the rest to an anisotripic etch process that preferentially etches a set of crystallographic planes faster than others, new facets with different surface orientations than the substrate orientation are formed on the semiconductor substrate. Alternatively, selective epitaxy may be utilized to generate new facets. The facets thus formed are joined to form a lambda shaped profile in a cross-section. The electrical properties of the new facets, specifically, the enhanced carrier mobility, are utilized to enhance the performance of transistors. In a transistor with a channel on the facets that are joined to form a lambda shaped profile, the current flows in the direction of the ridge joining the facets avoiding any inflection in the direction of the current.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a structure includes depositing a dense dielectric over the entire wafer, which includes areas that require low dielectric capacitance and areas that require high mechanical strength. The method further includes masking areas of the dense dielectric over the areas that require high mechanical strength and curing unmasked areas of the dense dielectric to burn out porogens inside the dense dielectric and transform the unmasked areas of the dense dielectric to porous dielectric material. A semiconductor structure comprises porous and dense hybrid interconnects for high performance and reliability semiconductor applications.

    摘要: A high tensile stress capping layer on Cu interconnects in order to reduce Cu transport and atomic voiding at the Cu/dielectric interface. The high tensile dielectric film is formed by depositing multiple layers of a thin dielectric material, each layer being under approximately 50 angstroms in thickness. Each dielectric layer is plasma treated prior to depositing each succeeding dielectric layer such that the dielectric cap has an internal tensile stress.
