    摘要: A manufacturing method, and an integrated circuit resulting therefrom, has a substrate and a semiconductor device thereon. A stop layer over the substrate has a first dielectric layer formed thereon having an opening into which a first conformal barrier is formed. A first conformal barrier liner is formed in the opening, processed, and treated to improve adhesion. Portions of the first conformal barrier liner on the sidewalls act as a barrier to diffusion of conductor core material to the first dielectric layer. A conductor material is formed in the opening over the vertical portions of the first conformal barrier liner and the first stop layer.

    摘要: Improved etch selectivity, barrier metal wetting and reduced interconnect capacitance are achieved by implementing damascene processing employing a graded middle etch stop layer comprising a first silicon carbide layer, a silicon-rich layer on the first silicon carbide, and a second silicon carbide layer on the silicon-rich layer. Embodiments include sequentially depositing a porous low-k dielectric layer over a lower capped Cu line, depositing the graded middle-etch stop layer, depositing a porous low-k dielectric layer on the graded middle-etch stop layer, forming a dual damascene opening exposing the silicon-rich surface at the bottom of the trench opening, depositing a seed layer, depositing a barrier middle layer, such as Ta or a Ta/TaN composite, and filling the opening with Cu.

    摘要: A multiple-layer interconnect structure in an integrated circuit, is formed using damascene techniques. A first layer interconnect has a first dielectric layer through which at least one first layer conductor extends. A second layer interconnect is then formed on the first layer interconnect. The second layer interconnect also includes a second layer dielectric through which at least one second layer conductor extends. However, the second layer interconnect is created by first forming a thick second later dielectric layer and then reducing the thickness of the second layer dielectric prior to a patterning step. As a result topographical irregularities that may have carried over to the second layer interconnect from the first layer interconnect are removed by providing a substantially planar surface on the second layer dielectric.

    摘要: A polishing slurry composition and its method of making for planarization of silicon semiconductor wafers by chemical mechanical polishing of the wafer. A slurry formulation utilizing a ferric salt tungsten oxidizer, an ammonium persulfate titanium oxidizer, a fatty acid suspension agent, alumina particles with a small diameter and tight diameter range, coated with a solubility coating, and a chemical stabilizer, provides high tungsten and titanium polish rates with high selectivity to silicon dioxide, and good oxide defectivity for use in tungsten local interconnect applications. A method for making a tungsten slurry includes first thoroughly blending small diameter alumina particles with a tight diameter range in an aqueous concentrate with a suspension agent, then mixing with water and oxidizers. Ferric salt tungsten slurries made by this method provide excellent tungsten polish characteristics for via plug and local interconnect applications.
