    摘要: A method of forming a metal-filled opening in a semiconductor or other submicron device substrate includes forming a conductive bulk layer over the substrate surface and in the opening, wherein the conductive bulk layer has a first grain size. A conductive cap layer is formed over the conductive bulk layer, the conductive cap layer having a second grain size that is substantially smaller than the first grain size. At least one of the conductive bulk and cap layers are then planarized to form a planar surface that is substantially coincident with the substrate surface.

    摘要: A method of forming a silicon oxide, shallow trench isolation (STI) region, featuring a silicon rich, silicon oxide layer used to protect the STI region from a subsequent wet etch procedure, has been developed. The method features depositing a silicon oxide layer via PECVD procedures, without RF bias, using a high silane to oxygen ratio, resulting in a silicon rich, silicon oxide layer, located surrounding the STI region. The low etch rate of the silicon rich, silicon oxide layer, protect the silicon oxide STI region from buffered hydrofluoric wet etch procedures, used for removal of a dioxide pad layer.

    摘要: An improved composite dielectric structure and method of forming thereof which prevents delamination of FSG (F-doped SiO2) and allows FSG to be used as the interlevel dielectric between successive conducting interconnection patterns in multilevel integrated circuit structures has been developed. The composite dielectric structure comprises FSG, undoped silicon oxide (optional), silicon-rich silicon oxide and silicon nitride. The silicon-rich silicon oxide layer having a thickness between about 1000 and 2000 Angstroms prevents reaction of F atoms from the FSG layer with the silicon nitride layer during subsequent manufacturing heat treatment cycles and prevents the deleterious formation of delamination bubbles which cause peeling of the FSG layer.
