    摘要: A method of forming a more uniform copper interconnect layer is described. A dielectric layer, electroconductive (EC) layer, and a photoresist layer are sequentially deposited on a substrate. An opening in the photoresist is etched through the dielectric layer while the EC layer serves as a hard mask. Following deposition of a diffusion barrier layer and copper seed layer on the EC layer and in the opening, the copper seed layer is removed above the EC layer by a first CMP step. The EC layer serves as a CMP stop to protect the dielectric layer and provides a more uniform surface for subsequent steps. Copper is selectively deposited on the seed layer within the opening. A second CMP step lowers the copper layer to be coplanar with the dielectric layer and removes the EC layer. The resulting copper interconnect layer has a more uniform thickness and surface for improved performance.

    摘要: Composite ALD-formed diffusion barrier layers. In a preferred embodiment, a composite conductive layer is composed of a diffusion barrier layer and/or a low-resistivity metal layer formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) lining a damascene opening in dielectrics, serving as diffusion blocking and/or adhesion improvement. The preferred composite diffusion barrier layers are dual titanium nitride layers or dual tantalum nitride layers, triply laminar of tantalum, tantalum nitride and tantalum-rich nitride, or tantalum, tantalum nitride and tantalum, formed sequentially on the opening by way of ALD.

    摘要: Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the semiconductor devices using an HTS (High Temperature Superconductor) layer in combination with a typical diffusion layer between the dielectric material and the copper (or other metal) conductive wiring. The HTS layer includes a superconductor material comprised of barium copper oxide and a rare earth element. The rare earth element yttrium is particularly suitable. For semiconductor devices having other semiconductor circuits or elements above the wiring, a capping layer of HTS material is deposited over the wiring before a cover layer of dielectric is deposited.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a dielectric layer, a conductive line, a via, and a via recess in the conductive line. The conductive line is underlying the dielectric layer. The via is formed in the dielectric layer and extends into the conductive line to form the via recess in the conductive line. The via recess formed in the conductive line has a depth of at least about 100 angstroms. Via-fill material fills the via recess and at least partially fills the via, such that the via-fill material is electrically connected to the conductive line. The via recess may have a same size or smaller cross-section area than that of the via, for example. Such via structure may be part of a dual damascene structure in an intermetal dielectric structure, for example.

A copper or copper alloy conductor substantially fills the trench.
