An improved method of forming a dual damascene structure that includes an organosilicate glass (OSG) dielectric layer is described. A via first process is followed in which a via is formed in the OSG layer and preferably stops on a SiC layer. The SiC layer is removed prior to stripping a photoresist containing the via pattern. A planarizing BARC layer is formed in the via to protect the exposed substrate from damage during trench formation. The method provides higher Kelvin via and via chain yields. Damage to the OSG layer at top corners of the via and trench is avoided. Furthermore, there is no pitting in the OSG layer at the trench bottom. Vertical sidewalls are achieved in the via and trench openings and via CD is maintained. The OSG loss during etching is minimized by removing the etch stop layer at an early stage of the dual damascene sequence.

A metallized structure for use in a microelectronic circuit is set forth. The metallized structure comprises a dielectric layer, an ultra-thin film bonding layer disposed exterior to the dielectric layer, and a low-Me concentration, copper-Me alloy layer disposed exterior to the ultra-thin film bonding layer. The Me is a metal other than copper and, preferably, is zinc. The concentration of the Me is less than about 5 atomic percent, preferably less than about 2 atomic percent, and even more preferably, less than about 1 atomic percent. In a preferred embodiment of the metallized structure, the dielectric layer, ultra-thin film bonding layer and the copper-Me alloy layer are all disposed immediately adjacent one another. If desired, a primary conductor, such as a film of copper, may be formed exterior to the foregoing layer sequence. The present invention also contemplates methods for forming the foregoing structure as well as electroplating baths that may be used to deposit the copper-Me alloy layer.

The present invention provides a method for forming a diffusion barrier layer, a diffusion barrier in an integrated circuit and an integrated circuit. The method for forming a diffusion barrier involves the following steps: 1) preparing a silicon substrate; 2) contacting the silicon substrate with a composition comprising self-assembled monolayer subunits and a solvent; and, 3) removing the solvent. The diffusion barrier layer includes a self-assembled monolayer. The integrated circuit includes a silicon substrate, a diffusion barrier layer and a metal deposited on the diffusion barrier layer. The diffusion barrier layer in the integrated circuit is covalently attached to the silicon substrate and includes a self-assembled monolayer.
