    摘要: An integrated circuit having semiconductor devices is connected by a first conductive channel damascened into a first oxide layer above the devices. A stop nitride layer, a via oxide layer, a via nitride layer, and a via resist are sequentially deposited on the first channel and the first oxide layer. The via resist is photolithographically developed with rectangular cross-section vias greater than the width of the channels and the via nitride layer is etched to the rectangular cross-section. A second channel oxide layer and a second channel resist are sequentially deposited on the via nitride layer and the exposed via oxide layer. The second channel resist is photolithographically developed with the second channels and an anisotropic oxide etch etches the second channels and rectangular box vias down to the stop nitride layer. He stop nitride layer is nitride etched in the rectangular via configuration and conductive material is damascened into the second channels and the via to be chemical-mechanical polished to form the interconnections between two levels of channels.

    摘要: This invention comprises improvements in the ways in which spin-on dielectric layers are cured. A semiconductor wafer is coated with a precursor for a spin-on dielectric material, and after the solution is thinned and evened, the wafer is placed in a curing oven, optionally containing an inert gas, and pre-heated to a temperature below which excessive thermomechanical stresses and/or oxidation are not created in the semiconductor wafer. The temperature within the curing oven is then raised to a curing temperature, and thereafter the temperature is slowly lowered to prevent the formation of stress cracks and the loss of dielectric function of the thin film. The curing method of this invention is useful for the manufacture of semiconductor devices employing a variety of spin-on materials.

    摘要: A semiconductor device containing an interconnection structure having a reduced interwiring spacing is produced by a modified dual damascene process. In one embodiment, an opening for a via is initially formed in a second insulative layer above a first insulative layer with an etch stop layer therebetween. A larger opening for a trench is then formed in the second insulative layer while simultaneously extending the via opening through the etch stop layer and first insulative layer. The trench and via are then simultaneously filled with conductive material.

    摘要: Interconnects to an underlying Cu feature are formed with improved reliability by replacing a portion of the capping layer in the bottom of an opening in an overlying dielectric layer, e.g., an ILD, with a barrier material, such as Ta or TaN. During Ar sputter etching to round the ILD corners, the exposed barrier layer portion is removed and redeposited to form a liner on the side surfaces of the dielectric layer defining the opening, thereby avoiding Cu redeposition on, and/or penetration through, the side surfaces of the dielectric layer.
