    摘要: A microelectronic structure and a method for fabricating the microelectronic structure use a dielectric layer that is located and formed upon a first conductor layer. An aperture is located through the dielectric layer. The aperture penetrates vertically into the first conductor layer and extends laterally within the first conductor layer beneath the dielectric layer while not reaching the dielectric layer, to form an extended and winged aperture. A contiguous via and interconnect may be formed anchored into the extended and winged aperture while using a plating method, absent voids.

    摘要: A hard mask is formed on an interconnect structure comprising a low-k material layer and a metal feature embedded therein. A block polymer is applied to the hard mask layer, self-assembled, and patterned to form a polymeric matrix of a polymeric block component and containing cylindrical holes. The hard mask and the low-k material layer therebelow are etched to form cavities. A conductive material is plated on exposed metallic surfaces including portions of top surfaces of the metal feature to form metal pads. Metal silicide pads are formed by exposure of the metal pads to a silicon containing gas. An etch is performed to enlarge and merge the cavities in the low-k material layer. The metal feature is protected from the etch by the metal silicide pads. An interconnect structure having an air gap and free of defects to surfaces of the metal feature is formed.

    摘要: A composition that may be used for cleaning a metal containing conductor layer, such as a copper containing conductor layer, within a microelectronic structure includes an aqueous acid, along with an oxidant material and a passivant material contained within the aqueous acid. The composition does not include an abrasive material. The composition is particularly useful for cleaning a residue from a copper containing conductor layer and an adjoining dielectric layer that provides an aperture for accessing the copper containing conductor layer within a microelectronic structure.

    摘要: A highly reliable copper interconnect structure and method of fabricating the same is provided. The interconnect structure comprises a metal layer buried between an adjacent upper copper layer and an adjacent lower copper layer structure. More specifically, the interconnect structure comprises a recess formed in a dielectric layer; a barrier metal lining sidewalls of the recess; a first copper layer within the recess; a second copper layer within the recess; and a metal layer buried between the first copper layer and the second copper layer. The method comprises forming a recess in an interlayer dielectric; forming a first copper layer, a metal layer over the first copper layer and a second copper layer over the metal layer, all within the recess. The metal layer is sandwiched between the first copper layer and the second copper layer within the recess.
