    摘要: A method of fabricating a planarized metal structure comprising the following steps. A structure is provided. A patterned dielectric layer is formed over the structure. The patterned dielectric layer having an opening formed therein and exposing at least a portion of the structure. A first-metal layer is formed over the patterned dielectric layer filling the opening. The first-metal layer including at least a doped metal portion adjacent the patterned dielectric layer. The doped metal portion being doped with a second-metal. The structure is annealed to form a second-metal oxide layer adjacent the patterned dielectric layer. The first-metal layer and the second-metal oxide layer are planarized using only a electropolishing process to remove the excess of the first-metal layer and the second-metal oxide layer from over the patterned dielectric layer and leaving a planarized metal structure within the opening.

    摘要: A composite barrier layer provides 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 are generally disposed to form boundaries with dielectric materials and crystalline layers are generally disposed to form boundaries with conductive materials such as interconnect materials.
