摘要: An opening in a dielectric layer having a unique barrier layer structure is provided. In an embodiment, the opening is a via and a trench. The barrier layer, which may comprise one or more barrier layers, is formed such that the ratio of the thickness of the barrier layers along a sidewall approximately midway between the bottom of the trench and the top of the dielectric layer to the thickness of the barrier layers along the bottom of the trench is greater than about 0.55. In another embodiment, the ratio of the thickness of the barrier layers along a sidewall approximately midway between the bottom of the trench and the top of the dielectric layer to the thickness of the barrier layers along the bottom of the via is greater than about 1.0. An underlying conductive layer may be recessed.

摘要: A semiconductor device having a nonconductive cap layer comprising a first metal element. The nonconductive cap layer comprises a first metal nitride, a first metal oxide, or a first metal oxynitride over conductive lines and an insulating material between the conductive lines. An interface region may be formed over the top surface of the conductive lines, the interface region including the metal element of the cap layer. The cap layer prevents the conductive material in the conductive lines from migrating or diffusing into adjacent subsequently formed insulating material layers. The cap layer may also function as an etch stop layer.

摘要: A reactive pre-clean chamber that contains a wafer heating apparatus, such as a high-temperature electrostatic chuck (HTESC), for directly heating a wafer supported on the apparatus during a pre-cleaning process. The wafer heating apparatus is capable of heating the wafer to the optimum temperatures required for a hydrogen plasma reactive pre-clean (RPC) process. Furthermore, degassing and pre-cleaning can be carried out in the same pre-clean chamber. The invention further includes a method of pre-cleaning a wafer using a pre-clean chamber that contains a wafer heating apparatus.

摘要: Provided is a method for forming a composite barrier layer with superior barrier qualities and superior adhesion properties to both dielectric materials and conductive materials as the composite barrier layer extends throughout the semiconductor device. The composite barrier layer may be formed in regions where it is disposed between two conductive layers and in regions where it is disposed between a conductive layer and a dielectric material. The composite barrier layer may consist of various pluralities of layers and the arrangement of layers that form the composite barrier layer may differ as the barrier layer extends throughout different sections of the device. Amorphous layers of the composite barrier layer generally form boundaries with dielectric materials and crystalline layers generally form boundaries with conductive materials such as interconnect materials.
