摘要: Among other things, one or more techniques for forming a low k dielectric around a metal line during an integrated circuit (IC) fabrication process are provided. In an embodiment, a metal line is formed prior to forming a surrounding low k dielectric layer around the metal line. In an embodiment, the metal line is formed by filling a trench space in a skeleton layer with metal. In this embodiment, the skeleton layer is removed to form a dielectric space in a different location than the trench space. The dielectric space is then filled with a low k dielectric material to form a surrounding low k dielectric layer around the metal line. In this manner, damage to the surrounding low k dielectric layer, that would otherwise occur if the surrounding low k dielectric layer was etched, for example, is mitigated.

摘要: A method of forming a dual damascene metal interconnect for a semiconductor device. The method includes forming a layer of low-k dielectric, forming vias through the low-k dielectric layer, depositing a sacrificial layer, forming trenches through the sacrificial layer, filling the vias and trenches with metal, removing the sacrificial layer, then depositing an extremely low-k dielectric layer to fill between the trenches. The method allows the formation of an extremely low-k dielectric layer for the second level of the dual damascene structure while avoiding damage to that layer by such processes as trench etching and trench metal deposition. The method has the additional advantage of avoiding an etch stop layer between the via level dielectric and the trench level dielectric.

摘要: A method of forming a fine pattern comprises depositing a modifying layer on a substrate. A photoresist layer is deposited on the modifying layer, the photoresist layer having a first pattern. The modifying layer is etched according to the first pattern of the photoresist layer. A treatment is performed to the etched modifying layer to form a second pattern, the second pattern having a smaller line width roughness (LWR) and/or line edge roughness (LER) than the first pattern. The second pattern is then etched into the substrate.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a structure and method to create a self-repairing dielectric material for semiconductor device applications. A porous dielectric material is deposited on a substrate, and exposed with treating agent particles such that the treating agent particles diffuse into the dielectric material. A dense non-porous cap is formed above the dielectric material which encapsulates the treating agent particles within the dielectric material. The dielectric material is then subjected to a process which creates damage to the dielectric material. A chemical reaction is initiated between the treating agent particles and the damage, repairing the damage. A gradient concentration resulting from the consumption of treating agent particles by the chemical reaction promotes continuous diffusion the treating agent particles towards the damaged region of the dielectric material, continuously repairing the damage.

摘要: A FinFET device is fabricated by first receiving a FinFET precursor. The FinFET precursor includes a substrate and fin structures on the substrate. A sidewall spacer is formed along sidewall of fin structures in the precursor. A portion of fin structure is recessed to form a recessing trench with the sidewall spacer as its upper portion. A semiconductor is epitaxially grown in the recessing trench and continually grown above the recessing trench to form an epitaxial structure.
