    Abstract: Within a method for forming a dielectric layer within a microelectronic fabrication there is first provided a substrate. There is then formed over the substrate a carbon doped silicon containing dielectric layer. There is then treated the carbon doped silicon containing dielectric layer with an oxidizing plasma to form from the carbon doped silicon containing dielectric layer an oxidizing plasma treated carbon doped silicon containing dielectric layer. By treating the carbon doped silicon containing dielectric layer with the oxidizing plasma, particularly under mild conditions, to form therefrom the oxidizing plasma treated carbon doped silicon containing dielectric layer, adhesion of an additional microelectronic layer upon the oxidizing plasma treated carbon doped silicon containing dielectric layer is enhanced in comparison with adhesion of the additional microelectronic layer upon the carbon doped silicon containing dielectric layer, while not compromising dielectric properties of the carbon doped silicon containing dielectric layer.

    Abstract: Apparatus for forming a semiconductor structure comprising a first layer on top of a substrate wherein the first layer defines conductive regions such as copper interconnect lines and non-conductive regions such as dielectric materials. The conductive regions are covered by a second layer of a material different than the first layer such as for example nickel and then the structure is heat treated such that the interconnect lines and second metal, such as a copper interconnect line and a nickel second layer, interact with each other to form an alloy layer. The alloy layer has superior qualities for adhering to both the copper interconnect lines and a subsequently deposited dielectric material.
