An interconnect structure in the back end of the line of an integrated circuit forms contacts between successive layers by removing material in the top surface of the lower interconnect in a cone-shaped aperture, the removal process extending through the liner of the upper aperture, and depositing a second liner extending down into the cone-shaped aperture, thereby increasing the mechanical strength of the contact, which then enhance the overall reliability of the integrated circuit.

摘要:
A structure representative of a conductive interconnect of a microelectronic element is provided, which may include a conductive metallic plate having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a plurality of peripheral edges extending between the upper and lower surfaces, the upper surface defining a horizontally extending plane. The structure may also include a lower via having a top end in conductive communication with the metallic plate and a bottom end vertically displaced from the top end. A lower conductive or semiconductive element can be in contact with the bottom end of the lower via. An upper metallic via can lie in at least substantial vertical alignment with the lower conductive via, the upper metallic via having a bottom end in conductive communication with the metallic plate and a top end vertically displaced from the bottom end. The upper metallic via may have a width at least about ten times than the length of the metallic plate and about ten times smaller than the width of the metallic plate. The structure may further include an upper metallic line element in contact with the top end of the upper metallic via.

A method of fabricating a device includes depositing a electromigration (EM) resistive material in an etched trench formed in a substrate and a wiring layer. The EM resistive material is formed in electrical contact with an underlying diffusion barrier layer and wiring layer. The method further includes forming a via structure in electrical contact with the EM resistive material and the wiring layer. The method results in a structure which prevents an open circuit.
